reason:
VOX VOXELS IPO/ICO 100% Premined Devs sold 5% 1.2 M coins and claim to have taken in 1,022 BTC / $350,000 USD in a private presale. then followed this with a 33M Public ICO higher price with tiers. Restricted withdrawals on its only exchange Uphold. Another XPY GAW scam?
reason #2:
VOX VOXELS 100% premined for a crowdfunding with a private presale IPO before the public ICO. is SEC looking into these guys? looks very shady and completely unneeded. they also have made some extremely dubious claims eg: "More than $687 million (USD) has transacted on the Voxelus platform since its November 2014 launch in 170 countries, Wilson noted. This sum represents 36% of the world’s public bitcoin in less than 13 months."
I would assume that so-called 'shady' people would not be all open and transparent about their identity. Halsey Minor, founder of both Voxelus and Uphold, is a publicly known tech entrepreneur. He also founded CNET.com back in the nineties. He's been extremely successful, owned a lot of real estate. Then came the real estate crisis and he went bankrupt. He believes the banks caused his personal crisis, and so he founded a company that is to replace the banks - Uphold.
According to Halsey Minor this is what Uphold does:
“It’s a very different take on… just about everybody today – PayPal, banks, etc. – they all make money on the transference of money; they make fees. They’re called payment networks. We decided you’d get a different kind of banking infrastructure where we’re free; others can charge to connect to us if they want, but ultimately our business funds itself through the reinvestment of the proceeds that we hold. We do it transparently so we don’t do stupid things, hopefully.”
Minor also thinks VR is going to be big. Hence Voxelus and The Voxel.
I think the guy is a visionary. And I think this Voxel coin is definitely not a scam. But yeah, he also seems like someone who is willing to take big risks. But aren't we all? (We = anyone investing in crypto currency.)
