The extension of the ico is a good idea I think, they would extend it cause the market was pretty hard before the fork was canceled. Soma has already reached the soft cap and has enough money to go on, and they have a new community manager, pretty nice to improve the communication. I think ico can have a final burst in the last with some last investors.
yes, soma is just lucky that the cancellation of the segwit fork is now working for their favour

they really extended the ico just in the right time.
