Anyone else excited about Kin (from Kik) ? One of the few ICO's I'm genuinely excited about

I know the Steemit crowd is on the cutting edge when it comes to cryptocurrency and the like (after all you're reading this aren't you?)

Super curious to hear what everyone thinks about Kin.

I just finished the whitepaper and it was a fantastic.

Here are a few snippets I really resonated with:

"People everywhere would be well served by a digital ecosystem that fosters direct economic
relationships between developers, creators, and consumers, with value and governance shared among
the participants. Such an ecosystem would offer consumers a set of rich, diverse, and open digital
services that put user experience first."

"One of the most compelling features of Kik Points was that users were not required to purchase them.
Instead, millions of mainsemphasized texttreamers were able to earn Kik Points simply by performing valuable actions. "

^ This is esepcially important to me, because I believe rewarding users for good behavior is the future of postive habits and beyond. I imagine various cryptocurrencies rewarding folks for doing healthy behaviors or even breaking bad habits in the future which would obviously have some massively positive ripples throughout the world.

I've been pretty active in the Kin Slack group and it seems like it could have some serious legs (long term.)

While I'm excited about the potential, I was defintiely let down by how Brave handled the ICO with BAT, which I'm hoping Kik improves upon with regards to letting everyone join in on the fun. According to their slack channel they will make it more fair.

Let me know your thoughts friends!
