I still think the ICO price was too high for VERI, and the current market price.
From the way I think about it, the higher the price of VERI at start, the less return for my money that I get. If I buy 10k worth of VERI at $70 and it goes to $85 I have only made ~$2,000 profit.
If I buy 10k worth of HumanIQ ( not sponsoring just taking another project) and it goes from $0.16 to 1 dollar, I have made $50,000.
Which one is the better investment in terms of % RoI for my money spent? Not saying I do not think VERI is a good project or that it does not have potential. If the price was $7 each I would buy 10k worth tomorrow, but since it is $70, I will put my money where the returns have the potential to be much great.
Real world example, would you have rather had 10k invested in ETH at $100, or 10k invested in Stratis Token at $1... do the math.
You're still not getting it ... good luck getting VERI before it's $500 and then $5,000 then $50,000 then $500,000 then $5,000,000
Oh I get it fully, I thought long and hard about investing in the ICO and decided against it. I sincerely hope that the price does go up as you suggest and that you ICO investors get rich. If I miss out I miss out, but that doesn't mean I am upset about it. I chose to not invest after doing my due diligence.
The point of the ICO is not to get rich. It is to fund business activities and at the same time get the opportunity to have access to the research and bots. I personally work with banks. The biggest theme of all in the IT space right now is automation. It does not matter if it is some form of network automation or software automation. Everyone is looking to do it.
If a bank does not get in on such a venture, they will loose BIGLY.
Here is why:
- They have to pay people to run services manually, while the competition is automating and reducing costs
- If they implement their own proprietary system, it will:
- Be way behind in terms of development
- Cost them MUCH MUCH more money to implement
- Have less accessibility to the public, less transparency, and less trust
Using this system, it is only a matter of time before one major financial player takes advantage of the capabilities here. Once that happens, it will be a real raid on the technology. People in the FinTech industry are ruthless man and will fight til the death for a market advantage. If they are behind, they'll pour all kinds of resources to catch up.
It will take a good amount of time for this to play out. But, when it does play out...it will be yuge.
