I participated in the Kin ICO. Made a decent amount of ETH off of it. Sold a bunch on the way up on that initial 4x burst above the ICO price two or three months after the ICO. Then continued to trade it and hold because I thought Kin seemed like a legit idea, an actual company with millions of users making a crypto. Then I rarely ever heard anything about Kin throughout last year, finally got fully out on a surge in price maybe around the beginning of this year or something. And now I see with the SEC issue the price has been decimated recently.

Kik promised all this integration and whatnot and hardly any real news followed for well over a year after the ICO. I think it was basically a fundraising scheme without perhaps a clear idea of how to make their idea succeed.

I think Kin doesn't have much future at this point even if it makes it through the SEC because I don't think Kik has much of a future.

And now we have facebook, a social media platform like 200 times bigger than Kik making a crypto so Kin is at this point old news that nobody cares about outside the company except for those who still own it and have unfortunately become bag holders for something that is now essentially worthless.
