I bought a few LISK actually recently, when it was around $18, so was quite excited when it went all the way to $30 as other alts were dropping, but seems like that pump did not last long. I do not think I will be buying any more now, but rebranding usually does seem to pump a price it seems. Only thing is I saw how raiblocks (rebrand to Nano) seemed to be just a really short pump before also following the rest of alts downhill. LISK is a pretty strong name in the industry though. Now I am torn to buy more or not.
Yeah, I think the timing of Nano wasn't the best in that bear market. Also I feel they didn't really communicate it too much. At least I didn't even notice really. Now that the market looks at least more bullish again I think chances are good Lisk can benefit from it.
I hold solid stake of Lisk being 2nd in my pf, not far after XMR, followed by GAS, from $2 per coin with some $4-$6 additional purchases, with a 14 day pause when hiding money during one of those nasty BTC dumps (during which LSK tend to suck).
I mainly continued hodling LSK due to February all-in-one event, expect the pump very likely, and likely hodl LSK after the event (either half or full stake). Good thing they only change the crappy logo and not the actual name which I rate as great (one of the best, actually) and easy to remember, not only because "Lisk" means st. like "slap" in my native language, lol.
Btw LSK did have like two rally attempts during Dec-Jan but interrupted by another BTC dumps. Attacking $40 or more (ATH) during one of these bull market times rallies, I see no reason not to break ATH as the event is actually close now, but if BTC sucks, we'll see fucko!
Yep, I really like the name. But I also welcome the change of the logo. I guess price trend also follow Bitcoin obviously but Lisk holds really strong at the moment. Even goes up when Btc goes down. From a TA perspective it looks still really, really bullish. At the moment at highest price (in BTC) in a year now.
So doesn't look too bad until now.

Following Key points (and probably more) will be presented at the Event.
New Website
New Logo
New Lisk Wallet in the interactive Desktop App + WebApp
Lisk Shop
Lisk Academy
+ the entire Subreddit will be revamped for the rebrand
- snip -
None of the point on the list could make significant impact. I guess there will be slight price increase because of the euphoria, but most of the changes are just cosmetic.
I agree on that about the website and logo (and reddit). And still those cosmetic changes apparently mean a lot in crypto :d
When it comes to the Wallet and the Academy I think those are really fundamental new 'releases'. Introducing the academy would also mean it's finally possible to build on Lisk (soon). Looking forward to that. I guess more details will follow.
Also I feel we will see a much more greater price movement than just a slight increase. But who knows
After 2 years of development and millions taken from their ICO, this is the best they can come up with? What happened to their child chain or is it side chain implementation for dapps? That was the selling point of their project wasn't it?
I also have not seen any known projects that used Lisk as their platform for smart contracts and dapps. Why is this?
At least Ethereum has the Cryptokitties hehehe.
I really think some people are too impatient. I know crypto is a really fast moving/fast-paced market. But that does not supply to Crypto Startups. I mean how could it. Those things usually take years of development, look at Ethereum, Neo.. I even think that's pretty fast to be honest.
Yeah, the side chains should be the child chains. And I guess there a no projects that build on Lisk because it's not possible yet. But this is going to change soon, basically that's the point of this whole thing. I hope they'll announce when exactly at the event :d
Also Lisk has actually nothing to do with smart contracts (as for now). But they do have the side chains which could allow 'similar' stuff or rather allows to implement stuff like that. You could even use the Ethereum blockchain for implementing smart contracts and run it on top of your Lisk applications if you wanted to as far as I know. That's the huge advantage of side chains.
So if there were Cryptodogs or whatever built on Lisk using a side chain it would not affect Lisk at all.
