After a very intense due diligence I bought now nearly 50k Tubes.
From my point of view this coin has a lot of USPs compared to most other coins:
1. It has a working product. Most coins today are just coins or promise that they will have any function far later in future. This one here is already running.
2. The devs are very active. It has been very impressive how fast they implemented a fix after the rise of the first bitmain asics. And they did not just use an existing fix, they made a unique alogrithm, which means you have to produce special asics which can just target Tube and nothing else.
3. Code quality is great. I asked a developer to do a code review and he has been pretty impressed how clean the code has been done.
4. The community is great but not overhyped, which is very helpful for listing on top 10 exchanges like bittrex and binance
5. With the recent announcement of splitting the block rewards between the stakeholders they solved the problem of webmining cryptonight. It is a nice idea to let the cpu mine while watching videos but compared to gpus you will hardly find any shares and therefore content creators won't earn enough to be attracted. Very soon they will get a percentage of every mined block which will provide a stable income. Also 5% goes to the tube devs for exchange listings and further development. And listings on exchanges like binance and bittrex are pretty expensive, so collecting fees for it is very good because it will speed up the process. Every listing on a big exchange will also be an advertisment for the platform itself.
6. Tube is a fair community coin. Although you have a company behind, it had no ICO and no premine! Maybe it will be one of the last fair coins in crypto sphere with potential to settle as a brand.
7. The market cap for tube at the moment of writing is 9 million dollar on rank 543 in cmc, which is ridiculously low if you take all the points above into account. I don't know of any other coin at the moment which is underrated that much. If the 5% dev fee is live for some months we will see some big exchange listings and a sky rocketing price. If Tube is just coming to 90 mln market cap it will still only be around rank 150 but the price went up 10 times! I don't see any other coin with such a potential to make 10x.
So after all, I just wanted to share my findings with you guys, but make your own decisions. I did mine!
