Nice comprehensive writeup. This is a coin I have been buying at $1-1.20 during the latest correction. It is an ambitious project for 3rd gen blockchain architecture, and potentially a top 10 coin (15x current price - currently 65th on CMC). AELF have also started a nice 3 year Airdrop programme with ELF coins given to all participants daily for simple tasks, that’s worth joining for the current value and potential upside. The Airdrop programme is invite-only, and this is a link with an invite code that steemers are welcome to use:
