Totally agree. Also, this is quite good for stacking up as the price is not that volatile for crypto. Wish other coins that I believe in would slow down a bit so I could buy more.
Currently buying STRAT and FCT and loving the price despite everyone complaining that returns are miserable. People have been spoiled by 2017 returns and I really hope 2018 would be a year when things slow down a bit. We need healthy growths, not pump and dumps.

Factom isn't focused on marketing. They are focused on the "25-30 Non disclosure agreements" with clients and the Fortune 100 companies they are currently making deals with and will disclose next year. That information getting released is all the marketing they will ever need. Factom is going to pass over peoples heads for so long when everything they have been working on finally is released the price will soar straight up.

Interesting post on reddit from CEO Paul Snow on entry credit usage speculation.

True! This is amazing. They just need to focus a little bit more on marketing i think. Hope they will and hope they will not because i can buy some more in the meantime

we have no hype here, all sheeps does not know what technology factom brings, so thats why its undervalued as f...

but time will come for Factom, im pretty sure within few months

but if it even reach $200, I wont sell, because I know technology etc, and im pretty sure its gonna hit $2000 or much more.

Factom is slow price wise but it is one of the few coins which will survive in a long term. So it's a no brainer for me

What a ton of bullshit. I get that you lost some money in a previous project but you can make something great to try and try and start over to be a top coin. David knows what he is talking about and gets it. Maybe he and devs from the previous projects saw some problems with api, that doesn't meen that they don't succeed with new projects.
Factom is here to stay and david with the project. Factom is solid en is here for a very long time with constant updates so why do you not believe in it?
Did you never experience failure? Don't believe so. I am someone who stick to crypto's for a long time and i believe that a good community is the key to succes and that you have to stay in contact with them. So i am not saying what happend is good but don't judge someone on previous project because you will lack to be apart of greater and better things.
Factom will rise to $100 soon because of its solidity and the few coins that are out there. I believe in it and it will be great.

l m expecting that most partnerships will be released by first quarter in 18 where it coincide with Exodus wallet which many non tech savvy waiting for.
l might be wrong we will see,this is what l anticipate.

An epic run is brewing.

I will admit I had no idea about this API coin but I know that several other projects suffered when bitcoin went on a consistent downtrend in late 2014 and into 2015. Maybe this was the same fate for api coin...

David is just one member of the factom team so I think it would be wrong to call factom a scam because of him, on the other hand I agree that you shouldnt just rest your case.

Take a step back and look at the bigger picture though...it was 2014 in crypto. Everyone got burned on something, the ico's back then were more crowd funding then anything. I am sorry for your loss though

You guys saying I should just rest my case? Lol, no. I am pretty sure I got a very strong case. I backed up all the internet resources linkinng Johnston to the API-Coin project. His name is all over the place. He wrote about it on his medium and bitcointalk, he used his github account for it and he TedX Talked about it. But when the ICO was over, nothing. No more writing, no more talking, nothing.

It's a really clear before and after and never ever any development in API-Coin. The money was in, the dev team was gone and like a few months later Johnston is named Chairman of the board of Factom.

The bigger the Factom Project gets, the bigger the impact this API-coin history will have...

Ok..ok...i feel your pain and sorry for what you lost. I myself was burned several times back in 2014 when promises were made from developers but never panned out. Checkcoin was one of them, several more too.

I didn't know any of this information, I am curious what was ever said? Did they ever give any kind of explanation? The last post said they got an answer but not a solid one.

Unfortunately I feel like this has happened over and over again in crypto, dev works/promotes a project...it goes south and then they move on.

Where is the BTC from the API-Coin ICO, David??

I can confirm this story. I also invested in API-coin and I have made similar accusations in this thread before, never got a decent statement from Johnston.

Just look up the bitcointalk thread in the annoncements of altcoins and read through it. Also see how David Johnston is giving all the answers.

All these websites and speeches were used to LURE investors into this SCAM. I invested 1.5 BTC and nothing was EVER developed. I call that a SCAM and David Johnston was definitely involved heavily in deceiving the investors. The amount of Bitcoin that was collected with this crowdsale is worth 10s of millions at current value. AND THEN HE CALLS HIMSELF AN ANGEL INVESTOR. YEAH WITH MY MONEY......

He never ever gave any comments on this. He was just appointed this chairman position at Factom. UN-BE-LIEV-AB-LE.

Seriously, people who call my accusations false have not read into this. There is no denying this was a scam and there is no denying that Johnston is the only person on the web that is related to this project.

IF he was not involved and only promoting it.... he should have gone to the Police. Cuz he knows that nothing has ever been developed in this project.

Don't call me a investors who is just sad about losing his investment... It is obvious that David collected a couple of thousand of BTC and never ever developed anything in this project. I just presented enough proof!

DLOC BY SMARTRAC
secured by Factom

Factom is proud to offer dLoc in partnership with SMARTRAC, a leading developer, manufacturer, and supplier of RFID products. dLoc is a document authentication and verification system that reliably authenticates any essential documents, including birth certificates, land titles, and medical records.

Now any institution that issues vital records including governments, banks, hospitals, and universities can put the power of blockchain technology and the trust of well-established industry standards into protecting the integrity of their vital records.

It's easy to get started

Apply the dLoc sticker to any document
Start tracking your documents in the SMART COSMOS platform
Here is How dLoc Works:

The sticker contains a SMARTRAC Bullseye NFC inlay, which incorporates a special security chip.  It can hold context information, such as images and biometrics, which can be stored as public data or as private data accessible to authorized parties only. You can choose from a range of different chip platforms with storage capacities between 1kB and 64kB. dLoc stickers support all the standard security features including guilloches, UV print, micro text or latent images.

Your document's data is married to the unique ID for the NFC tag and is only recognizable by you via a private key. You then can manage the document in the SMART COSMOS platform. SMART COSMOS has a seamless integration with the simple Factom Apollo, securing your data in the Factom blockchain.

Once you issue the document with your dLoc sticker, it can be verified using a desktop reader or a mobile app on an NFC-enabled phone. You just scan the documents to see their true history and have the confidence that they are authentic.

This is a nice way to cut costs for your clients, albeit your solution has a single point of failure - FACTOM servers. So, it is interesting service .

If it's not Bitfinex, then it's unlikely that the listing will be useful, yet not for me

Wow!! A rumor that FCT tokens will be listed in two new exchanges this week.

Only 8million of coins in circulation, sure FCT will go to the moon this week. Buy and hold.

FCT go to the moon this week!! Buy HOLD $$$$$$$

God forbid any crypto developer work on one coin and then move on to another. Crypto investors are notorious for being salty about any coin they lost money on so the follow and fud the developers as if they are responsible for peoples losses.

Some of the most talented developers in crypto have worked on many different projects, look at the developer of EOS, same guy from bitshares....

Easy to call somebody a scammer with no proof at all. Explain why he is a scammer? If this is true a lot of people will be thankful.
