Yes.
The initial cost was 10$, but you also received TRIA tokens for it. Those represent earning in the future (dividends). So with the ICO you are getting a bit less value for the COMBI token, but you have higher upside if the team is successful (through the TRIA token).
The price of COMBI tokens has dipped because of 2 reasons:
- Dev. team needs money to set everything up, so they took out around 10%. That was the purpose of the ICO. In exchange the investors get the TRIA tokens.
- In the general crypto market, alt-coins are not doing well because of the Bitcoin forks.
I'm quite happy with the coin so far. I hope that alts will moon after the Segwit 2x fork, then COMBI will soar high in the sky.
I'm mostly bullish on BTC long term, but for me COMBI is a good hedge and complements my BTC holdings.
Why do you think that the Segwit2x will cause the alt coins to skyrocket?
It's a pretty common theory. Money floods (from the alts) into BTC before a fork, because people want the free coins. After the fork, a lot of people sell some of the spiked BTC and forked BTCs and put that money back into alts.
Happened previously with BCC, and a bit with BTC Gold.
No guarantees of it happening again of course.
