Ethereum current value is the result of the combined efforts of the huge team that gets paid from Ethereum ICO. Anyone who thinks the 2 Lisk Devs can achieve the same results alone without hiring future staff is utterly naive.
The Lisk ICO clearly state:
• 8,000,000 LISK for the Lisk core team.
The fact that they plan to split those 8m Lisks 50/50 between themselves clearly shows that Lisk Devs have no intention to hire any future staff, otherwise they would have set most of the Core team share aside or under contract to cover future payroll.
The Lisk team has every intention on hiring future staff, and that's exactly what they will do. They will use the collected ICO funds to hire highly talented and motivated individuals to work aspects of the projects, such as but not limited to:
- Lisk core future development
- Legal compliance
- Business development, public relation, public outreach, marketing, advertising
I plan to buy in during the initial dump after launch.
This ICO is over-invested.
This is not the same as ethereum, where you had a well-funded team of people supported by banks, and lead by a guy who got a standing ovation at a major conference when he announced ethereum.
The value of Lisk is determined by its investor. Over-invested? Personally, I don't believe it is. Time will tell. At this pace, Lisk will have a market cap of approx. $1-3 Million, this would place it in the top 50 in coin market cap with ample room to increase. They already have two highly motivated in Max and Oliver, now it's a matter of moving forward with smart and fast decisions (and finding like-minded individuals).
