I held for a few months, made some money from it and sold at a higher price.

I read into a lot of the hype, and profited from it, but it's essentially what kept me around. Once I started to pay more attention to it, I realised that it was definitely more hype than substance.

They didn't really have a proper functioning wallet. It was the only coin I kept on the exchange because I was too scared to transfer it out at risk of losing my coins. I've held probably 10-15 other coins and none made me feel this way.

Also had some chats with devs of another mainstream crypto who were all of the opinion that the scalability claims aren't exactly ground breaking, and that the concept comes at the cost of security.

And there's been a lot of talk of partnerships, ground breaking announcements, etc, that quite often end up again being more hype than substance.

There was a website I stumbled across recently that raised a lot of other questions, some of which you've touched on. I think there were some issues with some of the ICO allocation as far as I can recall.

Either way, I'm out.
