Really, there are a zillion of these identical dodgy crypto offerings … what’s special about this one?
… sounds like music block chain model going corporate …
Good on them but one company that looks good is https://www.potentiam.io. Their work ethic and passion is what is needed in this space. I’m expecting great things from them. Token is under a cent on mercatox which is a great buy right now.
