I just bought into my first ICO!! Peculium | What is it?

Hi Steemians

I am no expert on crypto currencies or the Blockchain and I felt myself feeling a bit stupid after missing out on the Bitcoin opportunity even though I had heard about it back in 2012, so I have spent the last 6 months relentlessly researching the the various blockchains and their currencies. Gosh, it took me about a month just to grasp the concept of blockchain properly and I consider myself a quick learner so this was quite frustrating but that only made me more interested.

I had seen all the money people were making trading all these crypto currencies which was obviously intriguing to me, the prospect of profit is why most people ever turn their eyes to the blockchain. I was especially amazed at how the early adopters had benefited from their patience and insight, I really regret it getting into Bitcoin earlier.

With all that said I still refuse to just jump into something blindly before I understand it in a way that makes me feel comfortable (a trait I had to learn the hard way) so that I can foresee possible opportunities and especially risks.
So that's why I have kept my head down and I took my first step into the decentralized domain recently by joining Steemit :D

But even more recently (an hour ago) I purchased Peculium tokens (PCL) in there ICO and they are giving a 10% bonus for ICO investors. The ICO ends in 2 days so I felt pretty rushed into this but I have spent the last week researching Perculium and out of all the research I have done into cryptocurrencies I have never believed in something more ( as much as I do in Steem of course ).

I will try give you a better understanding of how it works:

PERCULIUM

This is a quote from the Perculium website https://peculium.io/

"PECULIUM is the first savings management platform to take advantage of the blockchain technology. PECULIUM revolutionizes savings management by deploying immutable Smart-Contracts over Ethereum blockchain. These smart contracts provide a trust-less way of achieving transparent, decentralized, and infallible contractual agreements.

PECULIUM is a visionary innovation in the realm of traditional savings, which with the help of AIΞVE and Blockchain Technology, provides groundbreaking solutions in savings management for individuals, brokers, and companies that are based on the underlying value of crypto-assets."

Now that may or may not make sense to you , if it doesn't I hope you will take the time to go to their website and get to know more but for now I want you to take note of AIΞVE which I made bold for a very good reason. You see in my opinion AIΞVE is about to change the financial world as we know it, starting with cryptocurrencies I am sure AIΞVE will move over to all forms of trading.

Below is more information i quoted from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2249486

AIΞVE is an original algorithm made by Peculium, it’s currently in v0.1 Alpha and already a successful prototype.
AIΞVE will combine deep learning AI, along with NLP and Big Data Analysis.
AIΞVE will read every book, forum post, tweet and track every transaction on multiple blockchains at the same time.
Think of Wall Street algorithms, but trained on perfectly suited and completely transparent data - the blockchain.

Peculium platform is for both individuals and corporate institutions:

INDIVIDUALS
Investing with AIΞVE
Investing with the help of brokers
Enables common investors a secure and simple entry into crypto savings.

COMPANIES AND INSTITUTIONS
Legal and secure entry into the crypto market for hedge funds, corporations.
Retirement funds, 401k
Company funds diversification into crypto

This is a screenshot of my Dashboard showing current ICO stats.

To put it basically AIΞVE is an AI developed for the purpose of trading cryptocurrency. Now I don't know if you have seen Terminator or have been listening to Elon Musk but yea AI is a very powerful technology. We do not stand a chance going against a machine that thinks 100000X times faster than us and doesn't need sleep. It has also been gathering Data for the last 3 or 4 years which it uses to predict future market trends and it is continuosly learning.... I am sorry but if the machines are in fact coming I think I want to invest in them early! Hopefully they will be lenient on me then haha. All jokes aside though I thought this is an awesome investment opportunity for people who don't have much crypto experience but as i said I am no expert so do your own research and build your own opinion.

THEIR TEAM is pretty large but these are the 3 main players. Notice AIΞVE

CONFIRMED EXCHANGES

I found this video on youtube which really helped me get a basic understanding of Peculium.
