Hello everybody,

I was thinking about investing in Raiden Network (given the current sale situation). However, by reading several articles it became obvious that Raiden appears to be rather endangered.
Firstly because of the loss of reputation due to their ICO and secondly because of the existence of Vitalik's Plasma (which might become Ethereum's Goto solution for scaling - unfortunately I cannot remember the article)

Then on the other hand, there are articles which state that the two are not really direct competitors (source: https://medium.com/@cryptovision/raiden-plasma-and-generalized-state-channels-a84af44bed98 )
Making it hard for me to form a verdict.

Now I wanted to see how others evaluate the situation and whether or not they'd consider Raiden a good investment (pls don't just post because you want to gain activity points).

I appreciate every opinion, even more so if it is founded upon facts that are also expressed.

Have a good one & regards
