To be fair LISK thread was 995 out of 1000 pages of pure garbage with 1 day old accounts posting "my body is ready".
Failure here is the 50% bonus to draw people in they should have just closed the ICO after that and got to work now your going to wait for another 7 weeks for a fraction of what was invested with the 50% bonus , Imo only an idiot will invest now because 90% of the people will start dumping their shit the second it hits any exchange to get their money back and then Ride their 50% freebee for profit.
I agree with that statement. And add that they cut 500 DCT per week ... you should be mentally impatient to invest in last week paying 1BTC for 3k DCT while 1day guy have 7500DCT from day 1
I guess it heavily depends on Decent team progress in this project. Showing great results will support the coins value and I think people still try to get some even when they missed the ico. I guess roughly 1000 btc went into decent "just" getting the 10% bonus. The same argument as above could be applied but it did not work this way.
Sure there will be a dump when it first hits the market as people will cash out - but I believe that many already learned that this is not the best idea, to follow the masses. Let's see - I think currently its just guessing ;-)
The bonus plan is bad actually, the difference is too big, unless you pay on day 1, the latter guys feed your day 1 whale.
