Mobius Network

Opportunities:
By having the project to run on the Stellar blockchain, Mobius is able to have a higher transaction throughout and faster confirmation time.
The problems that Mobius is trying to solve have a lot of opportunities. If Mobius is successful and gains traction, it have a lot of upside potential.

Concerns:
It seems like Mobius is trying to do everything at once. The roadmap includes off-chain token scaling solution, proof of stake Oracle protocol, dApp store, and cross chain connectivity. Each of them is a huge undertaking by itself and there are projects that deal specifically in that one area. The lack of focus is going to divert the team’s attention and we are not sure if the Mobius team can pull everything off.
The project runs on the Stellar blockchain, which most people are not familiar with. ICO participants will need to learn how to use Stellar wallets to store and send the MOBI tokens. This is going to create another barrier for potential participants interested in buying MOBI tokens.
There is a tradeoff between scalability and decentralization. In Stellar’s consensus protocol, the network validators are not rewarded for good behavior or penalized for bad behavior. Each node selects a set of publicly trusted peers, and forwards only the transactions that have been validated by a certain majority of its trusted partners. This is how Stellar is able to support thousands of transactions a second with a confirmation time less than 5 seconds.
Because Mobius have a very broad scope, it competes with many blockchain projects in some way – Status, Decentraland, and District0x for the DApp store; Chainlink and Oraclize on the Oracle side.

Conclusion:
Overall, we are neutral about this ICO both for its short- and long-term potential. Our thoughts of the tokens for short term and long term are as follows:
For ​short-term holding
Neutral. In this market environment, we believe this ICO probably cannot reach the hard cap. Unsold tokens will be saved for future sale/distribution to community to build it, which is less desirable than burning the tokens from an investment standpoint.
For long-term holding
Neutral. The project is very ambitious and we believe this is not a good thing. For a small team of 3 (with the Head Research Scientist on leave in the middle of his PhD program), we believe it is better for Mobius to tackle one area successfully before moving to the next problem.
