what's the point of investing then? there is no profit, if i'll end up with the same value as before, 1 lisk worth more but i have less than what i bought, pointless
Dude, the point is that Max / LiskHQ is running an operation that
PRESERVES THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF YOUR DONATION at all times over the entire run of the ICO. That's called integrity.
There is zero money being made or lost by anybody during the ICO itself - it is just a value neutral distribution process of Lisk coins to donors based on what they donate.
Once the ICO is over, the free market will determine the value of Lisk based on its operations and achievements - or lack of achievements.
If you read in this thread about the potential of the Lisk system in running JavaScript sidechains and dapps on cheap microcomputers and the upcoming "Internet of Things", you're led to conclude that Lisk may become more valuable in the future. Hopefully much, much much more valuable than at the end of the ICO.
THAT'S when there's profit.
As every one of the spreadsheets I am running below say quite clearly:
"The Lisk ICO will distribute a fixed quantity of 85 million Lisk to an unknown number of donors
As more donors contribute, the quantity of Lisk received for a particular contribution goes down
As more donors contribute, the satoshi worth of Lisk received for a particular contribution goes up
At all quantity & price combinations, the original value of a particular contribution is preserved & constant"
