First of all, this is not even close to Bitconnect, it's almost an insult lol. I easily took hundreds of hours studying this project and its related materials. Tau doesn't need a token at all, that is just going to be like the Internet. Agoras, on the other hand is a marketplace on Tau and it's the closest to being able to invest in it. He was very clear from the start about this arrangement so I'm not sure where you're saying what you're saying unless you're just repeating what other naysayers are saying.

As for your perception that he's self praising, I seriously don't know what to say about that. Maybe it's whatever culture you're in that gives you that lens. To me, it's certainly more just like a passing comment about him being there before commercial industries make buzzwords out of some of these professions.

Thanks for your warning though, appreciate it. But I just honestly think it's unwarranted. Check out the github and the recent slew of posts. There has been a breakthrough since December 2017. Also, whoever wrote the bravenewcoin article clearly didn't understand the project by the way. My opinion is that it's more much likely fail in practice (as in user behaviour) than being a scam.
