Maybe it will take time to become profitable in any way. But if you believe in this project you will support it in the end just what I am doing right now no matter what. To the team and for the success 
I am sure of what you say, if we want to benefit from the ZED project, of course we will continue to support it until everything is finished not caring for a long time, because all the work we make will not be in vainIndeed with the support and effort we give to this project we will get big profit in the future.. hoping for the project will update always.
Probably, a lot of conferences are held in different parts of the world when the ICO idea starts, the only question is which one is most acceptable for devs.
There is a lot of room for growth on this space and we are still on the infant stage so once these technologies are fully accepted then I'm sure that everyone who supports and believes in ZED Network will gain an enormous profit.
