The project appears to be a defunct or inactive event series with no verifiable current online presence. The domain 'thesymposium.info' is not indexed or active. The submission contains significant credibility issues, specifically the false claim that 'most people have used my product' and a confusing 'marketcap' figure in the revenue field. While the listed roundtable topics (AI, Crypto, Philosophy) suggest a potentially interesting past community effort in Lisbon, the lack of evidence, exaggerated claims, and zero verifiable traction result in a negligible score.
