Lisk (LSK): Price, Charts and Market Cap

At the end of April 2016, a new Lisk crypto currency was launched. The fundraising campaign (ICO) to raise funds for the development of this project was launched on February 22 of the same year and a month later it was successfully completed with a result of $ 6 million (14,000 bitcoins), fully fulfilling its task of attracting financial resources.

It is widely believed in crypto community that this fork can compete effectively with the famous platform Ethereum (Etherium). According to the project’s founders, Lisk platform is simpler and more convenient from the developers' point of view as it uses JavaScript (a popular programming language). Ethereum and Lisk crypto-currencies are very close to each other in terms of launch time, and many analysts initially considered them as competing platforms.

This opinion was formed due to the similarity of the concepts of their development, especially since people who worked on the competitor's side came to the Lisk team. But there are some differences, and, first of all, it is a programming language. In the case of Lisk, it is JavaScript, and for Efirium - C ++. As for ICO resulta, Ethereum left Lisk far behind: it raised $ 18 million white Lisk ended the campaign with $ 6 million. And, finally, they differ in the degree of decentralization.
