I feel like an idiot, i thought it was the drug called soma, and thought: "That is sure a weird name for marketplace", but then again most darknet marketplaces sell drugs so i didn't bat an eye.

probably all because of the fukin forks that happend and upcoming segwit32x will not do better to the icos ><"

i really hate those forks... everyone sells tokens/alts to go into btc...

I am pretty much counting and banking on that. Maybe i should leave some btc lying around, but i am going all in on icos and altcoins. I admit that's not maybe the smartest solution but i am either going to be rich or rekt.

Closed beta, I asked if it will be accesible by invitation only but I didn't get an answer yet. Maybe it will be for token holders only, who knows

It was raised 10-30% right after the BTG fork, but its down again due to the upcoming fork.

Yep, there was a recovery but really get fucked up again by the next fork. Will this ever stop? This forking is fucking crazy. It's the third one this year.

In short, Soma wants to bring back the trust factor in marketplaces by adding in the social dimension. And all this is done by giving users an incentive for being more social. The fact that the platform is built on the Ethereum blockchain also makes it easier to facilitate payments through either Ether or Bitcoin, and the company is also planning to facilitate payments through cards, fiat currency and PayPal.

“The vision of the Soma community is to provide a platform that sets up a true freedom of trade, without any redundant actors that do not increase any value in the chain of transactions,” says Soma co-founder Jukka Hilmola, stressing that such a marketplace can help ensure better value and liquidity for producers and traders across the globe.

Well, this is obviously going to happen, many people want free coin.
Will this ever stop? yes, after everyone gets their free coins.
