I read the article on Coindesk earlier this week and I didn't think it was overly negative or libel. I feel the journalist just grabbed together as much info as he could, and summarized it rather well.
Every ICO is risky. The journalist probably wanted to convey that so he put in some negative sounds. Maybe he shouldn't have done that. But by doing so, the article didn't feel like: "OMG this is so awesome! Go buy EOS tokens right now!".
Instead, it gave me a short overview of some facts, and send me on my way to do my own research.
On the topic of this article:
- Wonderful job! You presented it quite objectively and I'll look further into Wayne Vaughn and Chris DeRose.
- As long as SBD (Steem Backed Dollar) trades above $1 (right now its $2), you should go for the 50/50 payout instead of the 100% Steem.
Thanks for the tip on 50/50 payout, @beordo!
