Wow! You just reached out. Keep it up.
Now, you have done your part. It is one thing to get inspired, but another to work it out. I hope he takes the second step by taking position during this ICO. A friend that doubted the project during the Pre_ico is currently investing double now.
Hahaha, your friend is very funny, i assume he thought Cryptogene Project to be one of those crap projects.
Well he would have benefited more if he had doubted less because it was cheaper during the pre - ico.
However is it not too late to give it a shot. Better late than sorry
