I bought at about $4.50 when this, along with other altcoins, were being heavily promoted.  In this case, some (can't remember which one) hedge fund said this was their largest crypto position (probably selling into the pump).

Not trying to troll, but two honest questions to the moderators and/or other members:

Does anyone think this coin will ever have any value again?

Did the developer(s) "take the money and run"?

Thanks for the reply, best of luck to you and the organization

I'd ask the same question as size_m above...

I bought in August 2017 when it was highlighted (shilled?) by several YouTube channels.  Not trying to be a troll, I'm honestly just asking the community if it's a dead coin, overhyped coin, a failed effort, or what?

Wow... this creates FUD:

I've long since forgotten (if I ever *really* understood) how slashdot ranks their commentary, but it seems to be effective.  Anything like their system at play in Snip?  Years ago - that time seems to have passed - you could see MD surgeons, physicists, etc commenting on the validity and accuracy of posted article content. (not that MD's, for example, can't disagree on any given treatment protocol or Rx)

Edit - added:  Can you differentiate your concept from Brave browser/content preference and payment system?  I've seen your (dev) remarks regarding Steemit...

I'm not speaking of crypto projects, rather the trading of the cryptocurrencies.  What's taking place at the present time in the latter is child's play compared to the traditional financial markets.  When enough well funded hedge funds with highly skilled algo programmers and traders invade the crypto space, the competition will become an entirely different space than what now exists.  Read up on HFT and you'll get an inkling.

My question to Target Fund managers is what makes them think they can compete with some of the participants mentioned in the Forbes article?  Some of those guys are heavyweights.

If this article is true, my guess is the crypto trading space is about to get crowded, and algos will be fighting each other instead of just small time traders.

What is your opinion, and how do you think you will succeed against such fierce competition?
