You do so at your own risk though because I'm no expert. Maybe there are no experts when it comes to token trading.
What I do know is the tech and what is useful to my self interest. If you have similar "nerd interests" and want unlimited access to computation resources then you'd want at least a respectable percentage of RLC token supply. Even in the small percent chance that it can work, if it works then everything changes.
That said I think Steem is a lot safer and wouldn't trade my Steem for RLC, but I do think RLC has potential utility. It has potential to be a productive asset and not be like "gold" which just sits. Computation can be used to increase your wealth in the future.
