The issue with Electra is that they're touting partnerships with ATM companies in ICO phase. Now, the ICO itself isn't the issue, the issue is staff are saying it has an existing use case, but in reality these will not be available for a year at least and that's assuming that funding is met. The final product does not exist
So, why do two existing ATM ventures need an ICO? The simple answer is they want to raise capital, however initial ATM fees could cover this alone, and why would someone be willing to use these companies when they can't even get a simple LinkedIn URL to work on their ICO page? We've been delaying the fork and "10B Company" for 4 months now and the roadmap keeps getting silently changed in the background. Better off waiting until this bottoms out and the team finally decides to reveal the partnerships.
Furthermore you have people like Aykut Baybas (Master Den) claiming that the team is solely concentrated on providing a use case, and that price action is secondary to this. If that's the case then we wouldn't have team members making contradictory statements like "timing of news release is key" (In reference to releasing this long awaited news in the bull market rather than right now). This is speculating that retail FOMO, investors who do not know any better, will pump up the value.
Another thing - The premine, and all the other large holders, are still staking at 50% rewards. This is going to leave us with a bare minimum of 29B circulating supply before the fork is finally sorted out, and that's assuming the team actually sticks to their promises this time around.
Seems highly reminiscent of XVG back in its haydays. In fact I even recall Sunerok mentioning Electra a while back.
ECA has gone from being a legitimate community project revival to a project fueled by greed.
Hyped up Vaporware.
It appears that the team is simply dismissing this as FUD/negativity. Reality check: There would be no negativity if there was competency.
Regardless of how you attempt to paint this picture, the facts remain that the people in this project are still spreading misinformation about it in an attempt to prevent more cumulative losses from occurring.
We are constantly told "the fork is ready" and that "The Electra Foundation would take 3-5 days to set up". Well, why are we taking so long to implement both of these measures? It's like waiting for winter to arrive on Game of Thrones. Might I remind everyone that the initial founder is to receive all the staking rewards, which is closing in on 400M ECA now.
Staff tell us the project is doing great, but nothing has changed since December except for the new adoption of this garbage unprofessional approach to marketing. Attempting to hype and sexualize a financial product with blonde bimbos lacking any kind of cryptographic literacy is terrible at best. Why on Earth would anybody put money into that? How does this provide incentive to use Electra as an every day currency, or have we now switched our target audience from every day families to college frat boys?
We should not be sending people like Cassandra Hawkins (Electra Spirit) to institutional blockchain meetups. She has a degree in homeopathy and fitness ffs.
