it's definitely going to lose some value with the delay of M2 and the lack of good news recently.
Do you consider billionaire investor Tim Draper investing in Factom last month—saying "I believe that the Factom team has the opportunity and the potential to build a company greater than Oracle and Palantir and IBM combined"—good news?
Everything about alt-coins right now is how good your marketing department is.
Hopefully FCT is not one of the trash coins that is about to create the largest alt-coin bubble of all time.
I agree about the marketing point—it would certainly be a welcomed buttress against FUD. But even if a black swan event occurred it would be far from "the largest alt-coin bubble of all time."
Tim Draper didn't invest last month. The closing for bnktothefuture was back in July. so its not really news.
What was publicly revealed last month was Tim Draper was among them. Does it really matter who buys ? the amount is more important and Factom / bnktothefuture were caught lying for months about it.
btw, they didn't say how much he put. We don't know if he put 4M usd (highly improbable), 1M (possible but i don't think so)
, or only a few hundred kUSD (more likely)...
If Tim Draper revealed HOW MUCH he invested and its confirmed - say- that he participated in more than 50% of the offering, that would look more bullish perhaps... else its just headlines for the sake of headlines, and really nothing to care much about. the last news about some "big" famous i heard was Barry Silbert buying ETC, and if you look at ETC price, it would have been a good idea not to listen to this kind of news to make buy and hold decisions....
I usually appreciate your criticism, and you make many valid points, but don't you think you take it too far sometimes? Just as the cheerleaders that refuse to take off the rose colored glasses, even when things are not that great. Come on, now...
The first article that came out was "Tim Draper LEADS the $4.2M series A for Factom". So your probabilities are backwards. A few hundred K is a nice dinner money for him(the least likely scenario), $1M is possible, but not likely, considering he himself was excited about Factom. Which leaves us with $2M+ as the most likely scenario. Then, it absolutely matters who invests in a company. Yes, Factom still may fail. However, it is light years more probable that Factom will MOON when people like Draper invest, instead of nobodys like you and I.
Summa summarum, your comment was an absolute BS.
