During my vacation in NY, the Tezos ICO took place. Initially I had my doubts about Tezos and the uncapped ICO. However, with less access to crypto on my vacation I had more time to research Tezos and did some last minute checks into what Tezos really is. I quickly changed my mind from not investing in Tezos, into making a hefty investment in the platform.
A recent communication with some large investors I know personally, reinforced that decision. Tezos as an investment is as close to ETH startup. The lessons learned from ETH failures will make Tezos a great success. I am making these statements when there is no Tezos on the market, so it's not considered an investment advice.

The explainer video from Tezos YouTube channel:
Tezos ICO has ended with a significant amounts of Bitcoin and ETH contributed to the project.
ICO prices ranged from 6000 coins per bitcoin to 5000 coins per bitcoin depending on investment time.
Tezos mainnet release will take place within 4 months of ICO ending, so a little over 3 months left. This date is not etched in stone, could be delayed. If you have not secured your Tezos tokens, I would suggest you get some on release and hold for as long as you can. Tezos is DPOS which follows a close resemblance to Bitshares, Steem, and EOS.
Side by side Tezos is another ETH contender that will face up to the blockchain that started smart contracts. Other projects that promise to do the same are Qtum and EOS
