Published on June 22, 2018

Team
CEO Jed Grant – Grant was named one of the top 200 European fintech leaders by LATTICE80 and has had a long career in tech, including IT at NATO as well as deep experience in compliance as CEO of KYC3.com, a leader in the compliance world that has been recognized for many relevant awards and honors, such as WealthTech Circle in London, Disrupt.Finance in Zurich, Fintech Fusion in Geneva, Lux Future Lab in Luxembourg, and Europe4Startups.
In terms of advisers, two in particular stand out.
Jeremy Epstein, CEO of Never Stop Marketing – took Sprinklr, a customer experience management platform for businesses, from $20m to $1.8b in four years as CMO
Professor Jorge Sanz – Global Chief Innovation Officer in Banking at IBM

Verdict
While the idea is great, Peer Mountain suffers from issues, such as a lack of strong team and advisors (relative to other projects), no working product, no disclosed significant partnerships, and a variable total token supply as well as token sale hard cap.

Risks
    Team could be stronger relative to other projects’ teams. (-0.2)
    Same goes for advisers. (-0.2)
    No working product. (-0.2)
    No significant partnerships that have been disclosed. (-0.2)
    Max PMTN supply and token sale hardcap are variable and not set in stone. (-0.5)
    Maximum contribution amounts unspecified. Combined with heavy discounts for presale purchasers (30% – Presale 1, 20% – Presale 2), this could be worrisome for those looking to get in on the public sale. (-1)

Growth Potential
    Potentially huge emerging industry (staying compliant with data regulations). (+4)
    First mover advantage – Peer Mountain seems to be the only project addressing the issues of personal data protection and data regulatory compliance at the same time. If things go well, they could cement themselves as the market leader quickly. (+3)

Disposition
Peer Mountain is a promising project with a very strong promise. However, things like lack of a strong team and advisors, no working product, no significant, disclosed partnerships, variable supply and funding cap, and unspecified maximum contribution amounts make it somewhat of a risky investment. Further analysis is recommended for those interested. As a result, Peer Mountain receives a 4.7/10.

ICO is the best.
It is  safer to trade. This way the loss rate is lower, but more in trade.

ICO Analysis: Ocean Protocol
Published on June 20, 2018
By Daniel Won

Team
The Ocean Protocol team brings a lot of experience to the table.
CEO Bruce Pon spent years at top companies like Accenture and Daimler AG as a consultant and project manager before founding his own consulting, data, and blockchain-based companies.
Overall, the team has deep experience in big data, blockchain, AI, and data exchange and has done things like calculate gravity assisted trajectories between Earth and Mars, built a dozen global banks, managed operating budgets over $30 million, and more.
Companies, institutions, and organizations that the team is or has worked with include MIT, Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Google, Ernst & Young, and more.
Pon and other core members founded BigchainDB in 2014. BigchainDB will develop Ocean Protocol and has already created things like ascribe.io, a way for creators to track intellectual property on the blockchain, WhereOnThe.Net, which tracks the spread of creative works, IDPB, the Interplanetary Database or a shared global database, ImageMatch, machine learning-based image recognition, and more. Clearly, it isn’t their first rodeo when it comes to things like blockchain, data, and AI.
DEX Pte. Ltd. is also working on developing Ocean Protocol and was a lead partner for Data City : Data Nation, a partnership amongst Singaporean and British corporations and governments to work on data exchange by providing common regulatory and governance frameworks.
Singapore, which has shown its hostility towards crypto at times, is the lead government partner for Ocean Protocol. Singapore wants to become the hub for data sharing and is working with Ocean Protocol to achieve that goal.
Verdict
Though Ocean Protocol has a promising premise and team with lots of relevant experience, lack of a working product and significant partnerships makes investing less desirable.
Risks
    No working product (-2)
    Many other competitors like Enigma, Datum, Dentcoin, Streamr, and more, some of which have working products. (-1)
    No other significant advisors or partnerships besides Singaporean government that could boost the spread of Ocean Protocol. (-1)
    No hard cap announced for Network Launch Distribution round. (-1)
Growth Potential
    Data sharing and AI are huge growth industries. (+3)
    Team has lots of experience, especially in relevant fields, such as blockchain, data exchange, and AI. (+3)
    While competitors may be focusing on specific use cases, such as “data marketplace for advertising data”, Ocean Protocol is more of a platform, and platforms, e.g. Ethereum and NEO, have done well in the past. (+2)
    Pre-Launch round had an equitable token distribution with a max contribution of 1250 euros – helps prevent dumping by whales. (+2)
    Long vesting periods to prevent dumping. (+1)
Disposition
It might be better to pick up some OCN post-ICO or if and when the project is more proven in terms of a working product and partnerships. Moreover, Network Launch Distribution details have yet to be released, which could have an influence on investment potential as well.
Ocean Protocol receives a 5/10.

Of course, ethereum is very promising, but I think it would be wiser to invest in several different coins.

Crypto is still in the gradual process, there will be a lot more changes that will happen, but still i believe in it.

I believe that waves, ripple and eth have a good future.
It would be a good idea to hold these coins for a while. I am expecting a nice profit from these ones especially from ripples.

The project team is working very hard to create smart contracts, which in the future will still be able to increase the functionality of the platform.

It will not fall to $ 3000, it's too low for him.
Now it is important to break through the downlink in the 6600 area and make a foothold above 7000

I hold etherum since summer, but it was bad choice, better choice was Bitcoin 

I think white paper is the most important to invest for the altcoins. If you do not read the white paper, you lose the money.

Maybe men have an advantage for the industry, or the industry is not suitable for women.

I don't know but my feeling is not good for this years. I'm afraid about the price of all coins down fall ((((((((((((

I think in 2018 market will not has a very huge growth. But it can growth with low speed to higher goals.

I don't think this price will appear.

I believe in the next few mounth we will see more pumps on crypto and maybe a sharp growth to 15k $ for bitcoin.

maybe you can consider to buy some altcoins like ETH,Ripple,Neo,IOTA,NEM,XLR

At any moment the situation in the market can play in your favor, and then you will get a decent amount of profit.

I think this year will be the year of altcoins, and its normal for altcoins to be red, and have ups and downs in their values.
