While many have said that 2018 is the Year of the SMART coin, I would say that LISK has great potential to benefit in a market that is increasingly smart-coin friendly. Admittedly, I’m not a bullish smart-coin enthusiast, but I am pro-LISK. You see Lisk is working to basically make the blockchain accessible to web developers, and that means good things, really smart things, for us ordinary developers.
While we have seen LISK bounce back from the bearish correction at the beginning of 2018, when many coins took their sweet time, it has recently reached just under $40, and is now on sale for around $25 — what a deal!
Why should investors look at LISK at the time of rebranding? Well, NEO basically showed everyone what rebranding efforts can do for coin prices, moving up 7x in a short amount of time in 2017. Lisk is a solid project, and additional promotion is likely to hold sway over investors looking for upside. Its garnered attention from major companies and is clearly setting its sights on robust future goals.
For those in the US, the actual date will be the 21st of February, not the 20th at at 8:30 PM CET (local Berlin time), so some time around mid day depending on your location. So you still have time to pick up some shares before the fireworks begin streaming live on YouTube. While I’m not suggesting that the price of LISK will take off immediately, and despite the daily volume leading up to this event, I expect the market to view the relaunch event favorably. And over the next days, considerable price appreciation is possible, with some suggesting even $100 by the end of the month.
The reason for the positivity from the crypto community is linked to the central idea of LISK: to make the blockchain accessible to everyday developers. As the most popular language on the Web, javascript is known and practiced by many, the world over. When and if LISK is successful granting access to the blockchain — with a separate side chain — to javascript developers, a wild amount of production in the way of JS apps, smart contracts, and the like is almost certain to emerge via the LISK network.
Lisk’s team is headed by Co-founders Max Kordek (CEO) and Oliver Beddows (CTO), and these are the leaders preparing to make the blockchain accessible. And their team is very strong, recognized for their talents in Berlin and around the world. I believe they had an engagement, reportedly, with Microsoft early on. Its the developments from these talented developers that holds so much promise for the future of LISK, and garners so much attention. The upcoming relaunch event is a “major milestone” for their marketing and development roadmap, filled with promises of Lisk’s new brand identity, front-end design, dashboard, and wallet.

Please fill your bags, tune in to the Youtube Event — someone should put it on Dtube, and enjoy. Cheers.
I've read alot about Lisk but have yet to dive into this one. I will definitely be checking out the stream tomorrow, maybe after I learn more about it It'll be the next coin to add to my portfolio.
