I think it's important to understand how the Protocol will function before making rudimentary assessments of the crowdsale structure. If one actually reads and comprehends the whitepaper, it will be understood that the more value that goes into the protocol, the better. More capital to support projects and fund the initial token changers will allow for the initial Bancor network mesh to be much stronger.

A limited cap is essential when the main use of proceeds are for application development. If that is the case, there is no essential use for all of the other capital, which could be considered greedy. The app should be built. Revenue should be generated that should make the project sustainable without excess capital. This is not the case with Bancor, which is a protocol with a v1 that is essentially already built and is a tool that provides/creates liquidity.

Regarding CRR, keep in mind that all other tokens until this point have no CRR. That means that no matter what Bancor chose as their reserve, the instant liquidity is something no one else has ever provided.

Even Aragon decided to work with Bancor's main competitor (0x) instead of Bancor.

Devs, change the ICO terms. It seems that only partnerships Bancor will be having is with those that were given free Bancor tokens.


So where exactly does the difference lie between 0x and Bancor?

Anyone?
0x is building something very different than Bancor. They serve different functions. 0x completely decentralized exchanges. Bancor removing exchanges completely. Aragon focused more on corporations, while Bancor is more communities. There is also a lot of room in the space right now for many projects to succeed even if they were "competitors". Aragon partnering with another project doesn't have a correlation here.
