Hey @ced000, it is indeed a collaborative strategy and well-thought out by the team. I mean, when launching such a strong solution, you wouldn't necessarily think about collaborating with the competition. But here they are looking at doing exactly that.
Also, the NOIA testnet is a real opportunity. Don't forget to share it with your friends and known people over here on Steemit and elsewhere. Why miss the opportunity to support the solution and make money at the same time?
Thanks for your insights friend! A pleasure to have you here! :)
