EOS is certainly interesting! I joined the ICO for a small amount and bought some extra later on. The downside of EOS is that there is no product yet, but even if they can't make their promise come true there could be some profit to made in the short term on speculation when ETH goes through a harder era while maturing. I wrote on this subject a while ago:

well the product already exists, it just is not usable yet, it is just tradable. Check out the post just below your post, Im watching this video now.
It's tradable because it's an ERC20 token ( ethereum ). There is no working product yet.
To be fair however, Dan produced the Steem blockchain in 2 and a half weeks flat (I know this from insider info). To think he hasnt made EOS yet seems unlikey, I believe it is more likely that he learned from his Steem and Bitshares launch, how to garner big capital before launching the product.
I think dan and his team are more than capable of finishing the project. Just quoting what is in there white paper

Keen, thanks.
Also, thanks a ton for the comment!
