I completely understand where you are coming from and you're right, you should never believe what some guy says on the Internet. Always base your decisions on facts.
But I want to clear something up, Cofound.it is actually in the top 15 coins in terms on trade volume on Bittrex. In addition to that, it is actually more traded than the well established Ripple. The price has already gone up from 0.00003735 bitcoin to 0.00007969 bitcoin so more than double. If you put down 10K then you would have more than 20K by now.
