I like the project, plus i'm staking the token( didn't get an reward block yet lol). Project like qtum and neo are cater to the China market. The china market wants everything especially tech in house. So i'm betting on one of them to do very well if not both.
Hey @propel
Thanks for the comment.
It was the first time I had taken a look at Qtum. I must admit I was impressed. They look like a good team with a solid strategy and they are starting to get interest.
I hope it works out for you and you get a reward block soon.
Cheers, Gaz.
Great post. QTUM is a good project.I think they're going to have a lot of competition, but the fundamentals are there.
Agreed. Loads of competition in this area. I guess it's about seeing the project through for most of these teams.
I have no doubt QTUM will be a force to be reckoned with.
