Im going for a punt on EOS.
No guaranteed tokens on the new platform from the ICO but we shall wait and see what happens closer to the time.
Dan Larimer has a good background on delivering decent block chain developments so figure its worth a punt.

The frenzy, buzz and panic buying around it was astounding, people clamoring to buy like a Christmas sale at Selfridges with huge disappointment/anger when they missed out (due to the website crashing etc.). Reminded me a little of the tech IPOs of old - but magnified 100 fold, on steroids.
Can't fail to see how the coin will go like gangbusters when exchange listed (1000% gain in a year - haha, we laugh at such piffling returns). May take a position when I can easily exchange for BTC.Comment

One director, English name .. looks like he rented a Regus office in Ashford (The Panorama, Park Street, Ashford, England, TN24 8EZ). Incorporated Aug 2016, according to companycheck.co.uk no accounts/confirmation statement submitted yet.
There's also a BITCONNECT INTERNATIONAL PLC formed early Sep this year with a registered office of
Grant Thornton House, 22 Melton Street, London, NW1 2EP - that tower block next to Euston.
Lots of Asian looking names on the 14 Directors & Secretaries list of that new company. Big Asian investment/purchase ?
Huge crypto funds floating around Bitconnect - in addition to BCC itself they operate a 'could be shady'
'Buy BCC with BTC, lend BCC to AI auto trading bot for set period, get percent of bot winnings each day .. approx 1% - never loses' scheme.
Some say its a Ponzi scheme and the 'bot' is bogus to blindside/mug off punters -
new dudes who sign up actually pay the 'interest' accrued by dudes who signed up before 'em.
Genius of the scheme is use of their own minted (and pre-mined) BCC Crypto with locked in time periods.
Some guys who have been in since the start appear to be making tulip loads.
Is it a Ponzi ? Or is the 'bot' a work of genius ?

Must admit the cancellation of the segwit2x fork for Bitcoin does concern me.
Transaction times do seem to be getting a bit high, as do transaction fees. I just fear that if it gets worse then the whole thing is going to become unusable and come crashing down.
Saying that - markets seemed to react temporarily but its going back up now. Seems nothing can stop bitcoin at the moment.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

However bitcoin is for me like gold. It is not easy to sell or buy physically speaking and the fees and stupid. I see bitcoin in the future as a place of wealth storage."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
