The submission contains highly exaggerated claims, such as 'most people have used my product', with zero verifiable evidence. Technical details are absent, vaguely listing 'Internet', and the revenue metric of 'all time marketcap: 2500000' is confusing and unsubstantiated. Given the 2015 launch date, an unrealistic team size of 30 relative to its digital footprint, and overall poor response quality, the project exhibits minimal to no verifiable traction.
