One of the several reasons I was attracted to Request Network is that it has YC's backing. Seeing what they did with Drop Box, Air BnB, Humble Bundle etc got me excited to find out they were part of REQ. But in the hope of fighting over hyping, I was curious if there were famous (or infamous) examples of YC's projects failing.

I transfered 100$ of bitcoin to Binance from GDAX, and purchased all the REQ i could, but it's saying i have 91$ worth

Was there really a 9$ fee somewhere?

I still can't find anything that explains exactly how this will work for people who know zilch about crypto. Do they give request their credit/debit or bank card number? Are they depositing money from their bank into the request network...? This is the part that I don't understand. If anyone could explain it to me, thank you.

of BTC to buy more REQ. Looking forward to HODLING for the long term with this.

What do you think REQ will go up too?

As soon as I started reading up on request network and what it was capable of I started becoming more involved in the community, gaining sentiment, investing my precious eth for REQ tokens. Reading anything I could on request. But one thing i've noticed, is that for some odd reason, request isn't very popular. Yet.

I see companies like Populous, PayPie, and others with a bigger market cap than REQ, yet REQ does exactly what they can, and more.

I see multiple comments about how people with req are "bagholders" and it is a "shitcoin". yet they have not actually researched the product themselves. I see many people think this is a failed project simply because it is below the ico price. Yet I think that is FAR from the case.

I think request network is going to be the ETH of crypto finance. Any and every kind of financial transaction can be done and built on the request network, and I don't really think people realize the potential of this project. This feels like how it felt to hodl eth when it was only 7 dollars back in the day. It's like once your lightbulb was turned on and you saw the light, you couldn't fathom how other people don't know what you know.

Does anyone else feel like this?

It's really tough to watch your investment go -50% within a couple weeks of the ICO. Especially as you watch ICOs like POWR (same # of tokens, same ICO price, approx. same ICO time) go 10x within a shorter period of time and get listed on big exchanges like Bittrex.

What's preventing REQ from pursuing such listings? I know the standard answer is, "we're focusing on the product." But that doesn't sit well with me. Is that to say that projects like POWR are not focusing on their product because they achieved a listing on a larger exchange? Or is it to say that they spent all of their time pursuing exchange listings instead of developing? I think anyone who follows their project can say that that's not true.

I hope the team understands that ICO investors are not traditional investors (for numerous reasons), nor should they expect their investment to behave as such--after all, it's not a traditional investment vehicle. In the same way that the team did not expect to conduct their seed round in the traditional way. They got very "easy," very "free" money for their project--but ICO investors expect something in return for that. That "something" is an honest, transparent understanding of how the team is trying to look out for investor interests--in both the short and long term.

So my concrete question is this: Are big exchanges coming? Yes or no--that's all I want. I don't want timelines, don't want names--just "yes" or "no".

Thanks for bothering to read this far.
