BigBom Eco review :

An ico everyone talking about but no one knows what it's actually about
(Review is done by our community member @paskiss, thanks for the efforts)

Bigbom Eco, according the whitepaper, it's the first digital advertising ecosystem built as a decentralized application platform (DApp), which links ad platforms and publishers to advertisers globally. It serves as a decentralized advertising ecosystem for all parties involved in online advertising, inclusive of advertisers, service providers, content publishers, advertising channels, platforms. Bigbom Eco is being developed using smart contract, running on Ethereum blockchain.

* It's a DAPP with its own native token BBO built on Ethereum so will be issued as erc-20 token and can be quickly listed on DEXs
*Close partnerships with Tomochain, KyberNetwork and Bancor
* Low cap (hard cap 12k ETH or $8,5mln)
* Offered 10% bonus also durin main crowdsale so logically were higher bonues during private sale with no lock-up according BigBom's whitepaper - high chance of it being quickly dumped in 1st day of listing at DEXs
* MVP is on, beta version: https://beta-en.bigbom.com/login
I simply couldn't log in to test it so no review
* Roadmap too long in case of development and not enough information - alpha version of current platform and beta of Bigbom iAds in October 2018
* Marketing countries' expansion, based on number of ETH collected, another uncertainty
* close cooperation with Tomochain's team, signed MOU - it's plus and minus, plus as we have proven partnership and cooperation, minus cause it makes BigBom mostly depended on Tomochain's team
* BBO token gives permission for buying services on the platform and let advertisers to give reviews with certain amount of BBO reward from the bonus fund.

To sum up :
low interest. Utility of token is almost zero,except obvious usecase as paying for services in the platform and voting rights for advertisers to make reviews and rate the top publishers. I doubt users of the BigBom ecosystem will be highly interested even it gives us bonues in shape of BBO token but even though logically it makes it another dump reason. The only and main positive for me is low hard cap but marketing industry won't be an easy task for small projects to appear and gain most of the industry's users with no potential risks. It will take much effort and time to be ON stage with this project. From investor's point of view, I don't expect a high or perhaps any growth rate during first months, its rather a long term investment but definitely it's still too early for such idea and to pick up some tokens now even I find it potentially good and innovatory in matter of blockchain technologies.

Our whitelist has been temporarily closed due to 100k registered already – we will announce when it is re-opened. Thanks for your patience
