The reason Electroneum will work is the fact that it can be used for gaming(and of course many other things, but the focus is gaming). Just imaging being able to transfer your rewards from one game to another after you get bored with the former game? So all the money you invest in gaming will stay in gaming and you might have a chance to make more depending on how their API will work.
Interestingly enough, we won't be seeing a lot of games around Electroneum anytime soon. It will take a good year before it's well integrated in games and start gaining more and more popularity.
So far, they have reached more than 110K registered users at the time of writing and it's probably going to around 280K+ users by the end of the ICO. This looks promising.
I did some math yesterday and its averaging at 30K ETN per user. Of course, the mean is really a bad statistical measure and not robust, but just to give an idea, if there are 170K more users who have on average 30000 ETN each, that's already more than 5 Billion and they have already sold 2+ Billions.
It might not be a surprise that the whole pool set for the ICO gets sold by 31st October. This would smash a lot of records.
Assuming all the 6.3 Billions are sold, we will have a market volume of 6.3 Billion by November. At $0.01, it will have a market cap of $63 Million.
Realistically, we can expect it to have a market cap of around $120 Million by end of December, which would be 2x increase. Good for those who want in and out fast. So if you want to have an idea as to why invest in Electroneum, I think this can help you make the jump.
So, I think that by end of December, if all goes well, we are looking at at least a 2x increase and 3x for the hopefuls. But as with any other cryptocurrency, we just have to wait and see. :-)
