- Irrational Exuberance. Despite Ether’s big price spike this week, it strikes me as undervalued. But tokens? At writing, Gnosis market cap is 800 million, but was over $1 billion a few hours ago. Augur and Golem both at 185 million. While price run ups weren’t uniform across Ethereum tokens, there was plenty of exuberance lower on the market cap list as well.

Bias transparency: if you host a blockchain conference and don’t use Ticketleap, I’m much less likely to include your conference, unless you have a good reason as to why we’re not a good fit. But I doubt there is one, because we’re likely a great fit. /shamelessplug
[I aim for a relatively comprehensive list of Ethereum sales, but make no warranty as to even whether they are legit; as such, I thus likewise warrant nothing about whether any will produce a satisfactory return. I havepassed the CFA exams, but this is not investment advice. If you’re interested in what I do, you can find my investing thesis and token sale appreciation strategies in previous newsletters.]
