Editor’s note: not financial advice!

Representatives of the UNIC digital asset call their project «the world’s first asset-backed cryptocurrency that pays dividends.» The token is associated with the Unicorn Hunters show, which allows viewers to invest in companies that have not yet made an IPO (initial public offering). The Unicoin token receives a 5% stake in all companies that appear on the show.

According to the creators of the Unicorn Hunters show, UNIC is registered with the SEC, has a board of directors, pays dividends, and is linked to assets that can grow. «We're just trying to be diversified by not putting all your eggs in one basket and having a large pool of assets that can really support the token,» said Alex Dominguez, Unicoin’s chief investor relations officer.

It is not yet known whether Steve Wozniak has already invested in Unicoin and how much he plans to invest in the promising token. Earlier, Wozniak declared war on «cryptocurrency lawlessness» by filing a lawsuit against the authors of fraudulent YouTube videos. The hackers created fake videos in which Steve Wozniak allegedly urged people to take part in a free bitcoin giveaway.
