Disconnect yourself from the axiom of Coinmarketcap and decide whether you see value in the project.
Look into the numbers generated by existing social networks and see the potential to grow.
http://www.synereo.com/whitepapers/synereo.pdf#subsection.1.2.1If you do want to compare to other crypto projects, take a look at where MaidSafe started - at an even higher valuation - and where they are now.
Unlike MaidSafe - who have been working on their technology for many years and have a lot in store, but aren't quite ready - our technology is already working as intended.
The crypto community, especially on BTT, is very skeptical. That's perfectly understandable. I've fallen prey to a few scams throughout the years here myself, and with the current climate being what it is, it's hard to trust anyone or feel charitable at all looking at any new project. It's easy to get lost in the standard crypto "ITO" mechanics and lose sight of what's important if you come from this community, but I know there are many here who understand the larger vision and know that the sale and the AMPs are only one aspect of our offering. Fortunately, we also have many other communities following our progress, excited about the solution we offer and seeing what we're planning beyond the crowdsale. They understand that there cannot be such a decentralized service, truly unbound by any central authority, without its users putting life into it.
As long as our social media networks continue to be moderated by central authorities, users cannot be guaranteed the privacy of their identity and personal information. Your attention can fall victim to a stranger’s misguided interpretation of who you are and what truly interests you.
Synereo is building a network owned by you and controlled by no one. Users connect directly to one another, via secure cryptographic channels that prevent governments, spooks, and marketing agencies from eavesdropping without your consent.
This decentralized network is being built to provide the absolute best social experience online, treating people as its clients rather than as products. Synereo aims to help you connect with people and things you care about in a meaningful way, putting you in the center of the experience rather than marketers.
