It should go without saying, but this is not financial advice; D.Y.O.R.

Over the past year or so I've become a bit of a cryptocurrency enthusiast, with a focus on small cap startups. One such crypto that has stood out from the rest is @Hacken (HKN).

Hacken is an ICO that was launched by some very intelligent Ukrainian "white hat" hackers in October 2017, with a focus on making the internet a safer place to store sensitive data, raise and transfer funds, and do anything else that might otherwise be a honeypot for unethical, "black hat" hackers.

As of the 1st of April 2018, the Hacken team launched the alpha version of their flagship product - #hackenproof. Hackenproof is a decentralized bug bounty marketplace for businesses to post bug bounties for white hat hackers to seek out and report. These reports can help organizations to secure their systems before they are compromised.

I've been a member of the telegram group for a while now, and I've gotta say, the admins are very helpful with answering any questions that are thrown at them. Of course there's the usual "when lambo?" questions, but for the most part the Hacken investment community appears to be one of the mature ones.

What really stands out about this project, is the team. They are highly dedicated and constantly producing jaw-dropping news about new partners, products, team members, conferences attendances, contests, etc.
