It can be said that to those individuals who have just newly dived themselves into ICO investing, the decision in which cryptocurrency to place their faith in, brings them the greatest problems and headaches. The stormy times of cryptocurrency multi level marketing (MLM) projects have swept through the crypto waters at the end of 2017 – beginning of 2018 and brought with themselves a wave of delusional desire to invest into coins, with traders believing in their ability to multiply in their value by hundreds. The more naïve traders would stay and believe in their crypto’s potential rising up to the moon. The slightly wiser ones would listen to their fight or flight intuition more and jumped the boat before it would become too late for them. Looking at the current state of the situation, one is able to say that coin MLM times have been temporarily put to a stop by the experienced traders.



These days, a myriad of different elements need to be examined from the beginning to ascertain the potential value of a certain token, and whether it is even worth investing in. First and foremost, one must look at the factors concerning the business side of the project and human resources – especially the lead visionary and management team behind; whether they have publicly and accurately profiled themselves. It is quite obvious that a project with clear cut vision, led by a person possessing the right judgement, passion, experience and talent has naturally a greater chance of succeeding than a project possessing none of the listed. As to the next step, one needs to thoroughly scrutinize the idea behind the project and the ICO’s potential applicability ‘out in the wild’. This is an absolutely necessary condition to fulfill because both the applicability and philosophy of the project are decisive upon the value of the token – whether it will be worth something or nothing. Besides that, what needs to be examined further are the technological elements of the project, its whitepaper, roadmap and demos…

Naturally, just because a project seems to score an A* on the paper does not mean it is necessarily worth investing in. In the midst of the market being flooded by such exemplary projects, MAS has seemed to perform exceptionally well in captivating both attention and trust of the contributors when its ICO sold out within mere 19 hours. Wondering why was MAS even able to gather such success to begin with?

As already known, the Midas ecosystem has 3 key-pillars: the Midas protocol, Midas Foundation and Vinex. By owning MAS, the contributors are able to significantly boost their ability of harnessing all the benefits and functions provided by the pillars.

The potential of MAS reflects itself in its utility. MAS is used within the Midas Protocol as to:

1. Subscribe to the advanced functions on the Midas platform:

- It is only natural that Midas favors those who use its products. However, even if you do not possess any MAS at the given moment, you can still obtain a Free subscription and yield benefits from available functions as limited functionality, basic storage of cryptocurrencies and the ability to make simple buy & sell orders.

Nevertheless, to those who put their trust in MAS and invested in it, MAS brings them their rightfully deserved bonuses. This is reflected in the segmented subscription options where two different levels of benefits are provided to the user, depending on which subscription he opted for. This means that in practice you will use the MAS token you own to purchase 1 of the 2 different wallet classes and thus benefit from the features that each class brings with itself. Personally, I am convinced that the provided functions will satisfy the traders’ needs, especially of those who may still lack experience. Nevertheless, specific points from the white paper may be helpful to be drawn out here; to avoid sounding all too abstract and to closely envision what the co-founders aim to bring through MAS.

The options are:

● Lite subscription: providing the use average functionality from the storage, an ability to trade with some level of analysis and automated tools as well as the ability to follow the top traders but without the option of copying their orders. .

● Pro subscription: which ecompasses full functionality from the storage, sophisticated trading, curated market information and critical alert and the ability to follow & copy buy/sell orders directly by subscribing to the top traders.

What needs to be stressed is that owning MAS in your crypto wallet is not advantageous you only as a contributor, but also as a trader due to the practical utilities that MAS possesses. MAS can be used to:

2. Pay for subscription fees, following, copying trade strategies from the top investors/ traders:

Each top trader will propose a subscription fee paid in MAS (Midas token) for those who want to see their detailed portfolio and follow their future trades.

When paying the fee to follow a top trader/investor, you will then be able to see his detailed portfolio and are notified when he makes a trade. From thereon you can manually decide whether to follow his trade or not; or you can automatically copy and follow all of his trades. It is only up to your decision, and you can tune all the related-settings on the Midas Protocol dashboard.

To prevent market manipulation and pump-and-dump operations, each top trader will only be allowed to have a limited number of followers. The number of followers will be calculated based on the size and the average liquidity of their portfolio.

It is now quite obvious that MAS has been designed centered around interaction and trading in the Midas ecosystem. Besides the above mentioned uses, MAS can also be utilized in the more “everyday” circumstances such as:

3. Use within e-commerce through MASpay – this might seem as a rather expected feature for obvious reasons, but the ability to use MAS to buy/sell certain products instead of fiat is another practical perk, further contributing to MAS being an easy and accessible token.

It can be said that MAS has proved to be able to fulfil its role to those who already see the inherent benefits it brings into the Midas protocol. But what about Vinex, what can MAS exactly do for it? Midas Token (MAS) are to be used as a base coin for its trading fees. The Vinex platform (by no surprise) accommodates trading pairs with BTC and ETH, but also hosts trading pairs with MAS. Moreover MAS tokens collected at Vinex Network will be burned periodically. This by no means poses to be a new mind blowing feature, but should score in favour to the MAS contributor types who value a little more "peace of mind" when when they want to invest into MAS in a long run.

Last, but not least MAS can be used in the Midas Foundation to purchase ICO of various projects which Midas Foundation has decided to endorse. In such a scenario, MAS embodies the role of a “priority membership card”, giving all the Midas Pioneers better odds of being endorsed by the Midas Foundation as well as receiving extra benefits when involved in the Foundation's investment opportunities. The MAS token pay received by each individual will be utilized as a Midas strength indicator and also as a way of giving the MAS owners additional privileges in investment opportunities facilitated by the Midas Foundation. The MAS token will be used to indicate Midas strength of each individual, and from thereon assessing the rate of airdrop pay as well as establish one's voting power within the Midas Foundation. The more MAS you hold, the more airdrop and voting power you attain.

What the Midas team promises to deliver through MAS is not just some other proprietary technology in the industry. MAS is a testament of the Midas team's creative efforts focused to eradicate many problems which the people in crypto-space are forced to endure on daily basis. MAS aims to bring the best user experience possible, providing the most desirable perks to those already involved or soon to be involved in MAS and different investment funding opportunities,aimed at nourishing the development of promising projects with graspable potential. Undeniably, there might still at the end be some people who will not be that impressed with the originality of MAS, or doubt the actual potential application of it in the real world. However, regardless of whether their or my opinion counts – if the products will be released according to the plan and executed as the white paper describes, we who put our trust in MAS are not just delusionally wasting time and effort by aimlessly daydreaming.
