The time to buy Sub is before they release the next step in their development, especially with the price coming down over a dollar from all-time highs.

Plus, this isn't some sort of speculative coin, like most coins out there. The actual crypto has a use-case, and you can get passive income doing nothing once the Sub network is up just by letting it run while you're inactive (it will even run while you're active, just not at full capacity).

This is a 100% speculative coin.

1. We don't know if the Devs are capable of delivering

2. We have not seen any sort of technical discussion. This community is full of Lambo and Moon talks.

3. There is no working product yet.

I find it weird coming back here (since I said I was gone), but I guess I actually have to defend Substratum (price potential) right now...

I have found that many "technical" coins that are really the best don't get the recognition their tech deserves, since the market is changing. Instead of the tech-focused people we had two years ago (when I first got involved), we now have people who buy into whatever is hyped up the most, or gets the flashiest marketing.

As a result, coins like Sub go up quite a bit (although we're still in the middle of a mass-market correction).

However, this also means that investing strategy needs to be rethought - personally I will always invest mainly in the objectively best coins, the ones the have a product, and perhaps also masternodes or PoS (which are both passive income - there is nothing new here), but I am starting to rethink the price potential of coins like Substratum, which are based on hype.

That's partially why I chose to invest in it in the first place.

Hype and FOMO are powerful factors in investing, and can drive up prices faster than you can believe.

Anyways... we will see...

I agree completely. We are getting a new wave of investors who are not technically sound. Housewives, middle-aged men, business people. They do not understand tech. The key to getting 500% gains every month only requires ambitious promises, some buzzwords and aggressive marketing.

I have changed my investment strategy also. Whitepaper or source code reviews are not required anymore.
