There is no ICO, no investment, no purchase necessary other than a one time fee of 500BTS per newly registered account on the BEOS chain.
500 BTS == $36
Ahah, no thanks

It's just an attempt to make some money on famous and successful blockchains: BitShares and EOS.
It absolutely has no chance.
Im betting the costs will be covered by the rain-drops. I have already sent my BTS over. I havent been here for a while as Im down the EOS rabbit-hole. Even with all my time spent there I still cant keep up with all the developments.
Ive been into Crypto since 2013 and have seen it all, the EOS ecosystem will be a game changer where EOS will be surrounded and intertwined by other EOSIO chains all with their own features, where you will be able to move value between these chains from within one wallet.
Its absolutely mind blowing whats being worked on, I havent felt this excitement over a project since ETH was announced.
Ive seen many scams over the years in Crypto, and a good rule to adopt is anything new is a scam, until proven otherwise. Dont believe what people say, and that includes me now!!
If youre reading this youre still pioneers in the Crypto adoption fase, do your own research and check it out for yourselves.
Be warned thou, once you go down the EOS rabbit-hole, it might be a while for you to surface. Good Luck!
As for me, sorry I need to go back, homesick already.
