Tezos is its own blockchain, not a derivative of any other blockchain. Tezos is a secure, future smart contract system. Tezos price for today is $2.146. I thing this a good project. I hope stay invested on Tezos and the marketing of Tezos continues to grow in future.
Future for what? Tezos still on the battle with the government. for a project that worth more than 200 million dollars and this looks terrible. The blockchain of tezos not even developed. How can you say that tezos is future, secure smartcontract system? tezos is fail and that's from various analyzation. Look at cardano and other. How they don't need a lot of money for that.
For the record Tezos isn't battling any government. It is my opinion that all the lawsuits will be dissmissed. The "The Fundraiser" clearly stated that all contributions were donations, and that there were no guarantees that tokens would ever be distributed. That said, it was only common sense because delays happen, and idiots that didn't read the terms file lawsuits that will only contribute to FUD and slow things down. As expected the Tezos project is back on track, and I expect it will reshape the Crypto world in a few short months. I believe the current cash on hand is around $1 Billion, with a market cap of around $3 Billion.
