If you go into an ICO just wanting to flip right away as fast as possible (seems to be a trend lately), your not doing it right.
When people bought into Bitcoin early, for instance, many just turned it off, and came back years later.
Many things have been screamed at as a SCAM by individuals, Bitcoin included.
Please stop with the Complex Software Bullshit. Like you know anything about "complex" software. If you knew a bit about software in general you would have read the whitepaper and would now enjoy your money. But you don't. You have no idea at all. You just hope any of this HEAT bullshit will ever work so you can cut the losses.
