I have to say that these token specs with a fairly low hardcap are exciting from an investor's point of view. There's lot's of room to grow.
They have to be realistic in this crypto economy that we have now. Its hard even to reach softcap yet alone hardcap. Typically, i rather join ICOs with lower hardcap which ussually means your tokens will be worth more but on the other had, there will be less money for development and promotion.
True, projects with soft cap lower are now more likely to achieve some success, especially if they rely only on this for the secondary achievement of the project. What is the use of stipulating exorbitant values to achieve, and having to abandon the project?
