Woah! Very informative content piece. Actually, some of these healthcare related companies started moving in the right direction. Personally, found this article insightful as well

Bert updated our analysis of ICOs in December 2019:

“If tokens are a ‘breakthrough in network design’ then these tokens have failed to create the networks necessary to sustain them.”

Nice write up, not being too technical but in lay terms i must say the performance of healthcare related ICO’s is very less likely to change for several reasons,I am surprised to see loads of doctors on some teams but fail to factor certain points in their idea,(diversity) and language barriers are determinant factors in healthcare delivery such that medicine is divided into tropical medicine and General medicine in study, products target a large market in theory but only a tiny fraction can utilize the product, thus huge investments fail make profits, a project will only succeed if it captures everyone in its business model,that is the only way to create utility or make profit from investment. those that target the African market will only realize its an error to expect profit from telemedicine or insurance as both are advanced problems, Africa is a huge market and it needs accessible facilities and Equipments, Fraud proof business models or ideas will succeed more so target market and origin of ICO matters, Competition from centralized successful models in Europe, Russia, USA, Uk which all are the best in healthcare services, telemedicine is not a big deal, insurance may be, most of these coins focus on telemedicine or serve as payment options, technically it’s only a matter of time before they realize no profit is made for investors. No shilling but look out for African health care related ICO’s and you will see success

Very informative write up about the health sector of crypto. To clarify … Curecoin was crowdfunded to be an independent blockchain (not an Ethereum based ICO). Alpha began in late 2013 with a subsequent public release in May 2014. They use a hybrid PoW/PoS SHA-256 blockchain model based off Peercoin with one notable exception … 80% of the token’s are automatically distributed via cryptobullionpools.com, to Protein Folding research contributors on Stanford University’s Folding@home network. In effect this ensures Curecoin uses 80% less energy to secure their network, and inoculates it against scaling issues of other similar cryptocurrencies which rely on “parent” blockchains for their security (ETH and XCP). Research covers cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, and infectious disease through distributed computational biology & citizen science. ANYBODY with a PC or Mac can participate. Unlike traditional “mining”, the problems humanity faces from disease aren’t going away, so the incentive to “fold” instead of “mine” will always transcend (although not always scale) beyond pure financial motivations for a VERY long time. They are signaling changes to their blockchain which will make it more efficient in the near term, as well as hinting they will be the first blockchain to be double-secured using Veriblock’s PoP technology.
