This is in response to the "Buy antshares, or you're an idiot" thread.
Basically I'm agreeing with the user who posted that thread, however here are some actual sourced documents for you to read instead of just calling you an idiot for not buying

Personally I just invested $500. I agree that a pump is not a good time to buy - - however this is not your typical alt coin. How many have a partner list like antshares does?! Seems like legitimate growth not just another pumpNdump alt coin. I personally believe this is one of the safest investments long term and shot term considering tonight's events. Either way, all alt coins are just a gamble to me so I'm just doing it for fun and hopefully going to keep making money in the process
For the lazy, here's some research on what's happening tonight.
