I found this coin a few weeks ago looking for some cheap low cap projects, it's really interesting, so much potential, the team is huge and they obviously know what they are doing, they are based on Europe which I think is where you want to be to start a project like this. I think authors might start using the platform very soon, if it does start prepare for 3 digits mark, the publishing industry is HUUUUGE. I believe they will launch a beta of their platform before end of Q1 the current price is about $3 but I believe it will go up to at least $30 by the end of this year, I say right now is the perfect time to buy while it's still cheap and the project is still in diapers and relatively unknown, there is going to be a lot of publicity and marketing during the next couple of months since the team will be going to a lot of events and conferences check here: https://medium.com/publicaio/publica-world-tour-2018-554ee88a96b6. Again, this is one of the most serious blockchain projects I've seen, you guys really shouldn't miss out on this opportunity, jump on the train and fill your bags with PBL before it goes to 2 and 3 digits For those who never heard about this token yet, here's some information on Publica (PBL):
Publica is a brand new decentralized publishing protocol will enable authors to directly fund their self-publishing books by crowdfunding campaigns, it runs on Ethereum and is built in Solidity.
In the near future, books sold by independent self-publishing authorsare going to make up 45% of all new titles on the market. How can authors reach their audiencies and also seek income without the absurd-expensive middleman?
“The gig economy and sharing economy are global and they should come into the publishing economy” as Ronnie Luke, from the Huffpost says.
