This could moon for days...Seems like they tried to keep it very low key. There are five posts on Reddit about it. I bought at 4000 sats but see no reason not to hold for the foreseeable future.

Although, it does seem unclear if all 250,000,000 are in circulation. They indicate the softcap of 25,000,000 was reached, but say nothing about the hardcap.
This also might be the reason why coinmarketcap doesn't list the marketcap.

It is hard to tell without having an accurate reading of the marketcap. But I definitely don't think this is a pump and dump type of coin.
It's a Berkeley backed project with a partnership with NEO. I think it's safe to assume they actively tried to keep it under wraps. There is no website. They are putting human resources/hiring on blockchain.
Currently only on one exchange. It's definitely not going down from here.

100% not flame, I am buying this dip...This is the most legit blockchain token system I have come across. Gotta give it some time. I don't see how this doesn't moon at some point in 2018. Details here:

I shilled XRP all the way from $.55 until $2.50..Also called the LTC run from $100 to $350. Bought TRX at $.04, sold it at $.17
If anything, I know when something is undervalued, but get caught up in the moment and don't recognize when it becomes overvalued.
EKO is definitely undervalued. Their plan is to use the token on the marketplace to incentivize institutions to make student academic backgrounds available on the blockchain. EKO will be used as compensation to motivate participation in the network. Employers then have to use the currency to access candidates' background.
Furthermore, it's currently only one one exchange (which is probably what caused the crash yesterday). A project of this caliber, with UC Berkeley and NEO partnerships, will certainly get picked up on other exchanges.
It has no traction right now, because no one knows about it. This is not a project whose founders are after a money grab. This is serious blockchain disruption.
OP might be on to something. Worth researching into further, just by the fact that it is backed by UC Berkeley. The fact that it has dropped 60% today is immaterial when the volume is so low. Maybe it is a good thing that it dropped.

I'm DCAing all the way to the bottom of this. Bought some at $.29 an hour ago or so. If it's $.15 tomorrow, will buy a little more. Eventually bottom will hit.

Take a look at that sell wall 0.000110 ETH...It's been up for the past two days. Slowly lowering as the market lowers. I think a whale is driving down the price to accumulate more. I plan to keep buying. Once the sell wall is down, it is possible the price will rise at a steady pace.
Date: January 17th, 2018 10:36 AM Author: boyish home
Then if you take a look at 0.000050 ETH level, there are large buy orders. If the whale wants it to go to that price, then it will go there. I put buy orders in right around there.
There is a development roadmap available in the above link. They are rolling out test versions of the product in February/March. The test versions will include features for students/individual users, university/training organizations, and hiring company/recruiter incorporated.
There is no hype on the internet. They implicitly acknowledge this on the team page in a call for promotion help from business development/marketing people:
I believe in the return potential of this specific project for three main reasons:
1. Detailed, specific (yet non-abstract) use cases for the token. The use cases take into account the value proposition for each side of the decentralized platform.
SIDE ONE: Students/univsersities have an incentive to develop and maintain the blockchain ledger, because they get paid with the token....SIDE TWO: Human resources recruiters save time and money by having already verified information on job candidates. This is especially important as corporate recruiting becomes increasingly international, which means student backgrounds are more difficult to verify. Corporations buy the token because it saves the company money.
2. The fact that their target market of university students is the target market that crypto currency is most appealing. Being based at UC Berkeley near Silicon Valley, they have an automatically built-in network to spread the word to early adopters.
3. Partnership with NEO. I can't speak to the details of the strength of the technology, because that's not my background. But I'm willing to bet it's legit enough.
In summary, they have the team in place to execute a FULLY-DEVELOPED plan. The marketing and internet shills will come as the product rolls out. It's not a leap to assume that the internet hype part of blockchain is beneath libs at Berkeley. In fact, the website is such garbage that it suggests they actively could be downplaying the strength of what they're doing to flame people that don't understand blockchain (pure conjecture). The project appears to be only a couple months old; marketing has not been the priority to this point. But they will have to market at some point to achieve the objectives they have laid out.

The earlier the better..If they announce Binance or something, it will take off. If not, probably just a luke-warm rise every day. But feel free to check back whenever and I'll give you my best estimate.

I went pretty big, 10 ETH or so..I'm pretty confident it'll 5x sometime in the next 6 months. The ICO price was $.06, so this is fairly close to the bottom still.
Date: January 30th, 2018 7:12 AM Author: boyish home
It might have the smallest market cap on Huobi..Yet they listed it. Not saying it'll go to Binance anytime soon, but it's an attractive enough project as to where it's not impossible

I'm pretty much all in on eko right now...Unless Steve Chen drops dead, it's at least holding level to BTC. I'm going to reevaluate in the next few weeks, maybe start searching for something to roll gains into. But it's hard to better than eth imo, so may stick with that

all that they say is "Stay tuned. Some interesting announcement is about to happen in Feb." followed by a few cryptic allusions to something happening "soon"
i don't mind playing news but you seem too emotionally invested in this and to have lost all perspective on this shitcoin

All I'm saying is buy now and put in a sell order at .00014 ETH so you don't get burned. It might go higher, but should reach that level no problem. That's a 30% gain from where it is now. Can't be any more simple than that.
It's coming off a double bottom..ICO was at $.06, it's now at $.10. It's not going any lower
I was with you on EKO, and I think your initial analysis was reasonable. But I think this coin is dying, despite the decent project. I sold mine a few days ago.

The only question is how long this takes to gain traction...The Berkeley Blockchain Lab isn't going to disappear anytime soon. Obviously it'd be better not to be holding this pos bag for months on end. But no one knows when the pops will hold.
