There is no discount 40%. Discount for ICO will be 50% -70%. And the same discounts for PP and Pre-ICO. These are very large discounts. Although if you look at some other projects, then there may be a discount even more. At the same time, the project can be very successful.
I think with the current etherium price, it will be difficult to reach the maximum cap, however soft cap is realistic amount.
Reaching 259k ETH is indeed highly unrealistic but that doesn't matter at all. The most important thing is that they reach their softcap and get enough funds for developing the platform.
Especially with current ETH prices i agree. But i don't mind them having a high cap when you look at the goals they want to achieve. Maybe if they raise 200k ETH instead of 100k, they can meet their goals in 3 years instead of 5.
200k ETH would mean around 260 million USD. IF they really get that insane amount of money, they need to revamp the roadmap.
