Tons of posts about Electroneum lately. Lot's of Love, Hype, Skepticism, and Hate.
Thought it would be good to start a thread to try and consolidate it all.
Yes, I am biased cause I invested a bit in it, but I tried to include threads that were critical as well as positive. Feel free to raise any concerns or skepticism to help people be informed.
And yes, I am throwing out my referral code: FC5E94
If you want to invest in the ICO use my code to get an extra 1% (an I receive an extra 5%)
