Theta Token - By Co-Founders of 1M+ User eSports Site + Youtube/Twitch Founders
01-18-2018, 12:48 AM
After maybe a few hours of severe market downturn, it seems as though crypto is already recovering.
If you saw my other thread on DeepBrain Chain (DBC), you might have noticed that I like to look for coins with a lot of growth potential.
DBC in particular did a bit more than 4x from when that thread was posted ($0.16) until its peak ($0.66). After the correction, I think now would be a good time to get in. Here's some news on DBC sponsoring and delivering a keynote speech at a conference featuring the likes of Tim Draper, Charlie Lee, Brad Garlinghouse, Joseph Poon, and more.

Anyway, today I wanted to talk about Theta Token (THETA), which I think has the potential to take off.
It literally just hit Coinmarketcap TODAY and has an ALL-STAR team and advisors:

Not sure what the market cap is (doesn't say yet) but it's ranked 1120, which tells me it has a lot of room to grow.
Theta Token in a nutshell
While video content is increasingly on the rise (by some estimates will account for >80% of all Internet traffic within the next 2-3 years), loading times and such are still pretty slow (especially for people in places with bad Internet).
With Theta, people more or less rent out their extra bandwidth when they're not using their computers and get paid in THETA for doing so. For video content consumers, this translates to faster loading times. In essence, a p2p content distribution network.
With Theta Tokens, people can tip streamers, unlock premium content, buy and gift virtual items (like in-game "skins" for weapons in video games), and more.
To be honest, I don't give a shit about all that as much as I do the team and advisors.
Team
Unlike most projects in the crypto space, the team isn't a bunch of blockchain idealists, but has a real track record of making things happen.
The team behind Theta Token is the team behind Sliver.tv a streaming site for eSports (competitive video games, a huge industry in itself) that has 1 million monthly active users and has seen INSANE growth:

These guys have funding from the likes of Samsung and Sony ($9.8mn Series A Funding round in August).
Sliver is legit and has people like adreN (a top player and streamer from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, one of the biggest eSports titles alongside Dota 2 and League of Legends) on it - he's the one in the lower left. Not only that but they are already integrating Theta Token into the site, which should give THETA some real traction:

Advisors
Here is what I find really impressive.
Their advisors aren't just people from the blockchain space (which is largely unproven) but includes the likes of
1. Steve Chen, Co-Founder of Youtube
2. Justin Kan, Co-Founder of Twitch
Conclusion
Honestly, I could see this becoming a really successful project because everyone on the team + the advisors have actually done something with their lives. You can have the best idea in the world but it doesn't mean shit if you can't execute.
If not, it will probably go 5-10x off hype alone cuz crypto lol.
You can get THETA on Huobi and Gate.io (according to CMC)
