Great news fellows, Bancor smart token will be worth 100x by tomorrow! Because a lot of people wish exactly that.
Sorry for this bold statement, but this is exactly what people want to hear right now, that their investments are going to multiply overnight, 10 times, or 100 times.
There are other people which think that by the of the year, or maybe in 5 years, Bancor token will be worth 10x, 100x, or 1000x.
The reality is that this market was already pumped up, showed by the huge capital that was already invested on the ICO, as well as other ICOs.
Sorry guys, but this is not how bitcoin, ethereum, or any other big crypto won the market, there weren't people wanting to become rich overnight, or in 5 years. There were people seeking to improve the ecosystem, with something new, fresh, and based only on the idea of helping the ecosystem.
I have invested in some ICOs, but what I don't like about this ICO craziness is the greed from the developers, I can understand the greed from traders, that the whole point, but from developers, wanting to raise as much money as they can to later see how to make sense for the investors as the money vanishes
Sorry for not sharing your thoughts, but this is definitively not how ethereum came to life, or bitcoin, or any other big crypto, this is how the greedy pump and dump 2.0 is coming to life.
Do you remember how a lot of shitcoins, or scamcoins came to life after bitcoin success, back on 2011, 2012, 2013, just to get the money from investors. Well, right now it is the same, but multiplied by 10x, there are shitcoins coming everyday, and what they all have in common is an absurd cap, or even uncapped, ICOs.
Please ask yourselves, do these projects really need that amount of money? Obviously not.
Remember how all those shitcoins broke 5 years ago under that scammy pump and dump scheme. This is pump and dump 2.0, or if you like the smart word, this is the smart pump and dump.
Please, please, please, please, be very careful, and not too greedy, when investing on these ICOs, there are good ones, but be specially suspicious about uncapped or huge ICOs.
And please, don't go away crying, or whining, when shit happens, because it will happen, but please, don't do that. You knew the risks.
I'm worried for the repercussion that this pump and dump 2.0 scheme will brought to the crypto word, namely ethereum, because I truly believe on its potential, not for becoming rich, but for society, efficiency, transparency, and a fully democratized economic system.
I agree. The worst is yet to come though. People have short memory and they have already forgotten about scammy shitcoins like PAYCoin which existed before the Ethereum era began in 2015. PAYCoin was the third largest crypto by marketcap for quite a white and everyone thought it was legit before being outed as pure scam when the owner ran away with the money.
There are many scam coins masquerading as legit coins even today. When the bubble bursts this time around, it's gonna be really nasty as billions of dollars are at stake now. Be careful out there folks and don't fall into traps like EOS, BitConnect and Veritaseum.
