you regard ico as a tool to collect money, but i think the ico is for those who use blockchain technology to do something
If you think that you may want to read
this.
An ICO
is a tool to collect money.
You just see an ICO as a means to an end, but it makes very little sense to me, and I don't really care what a definition written by... who knows says:
- If you want to crowdfund a project/product, you shall go to
kickstarter or similar platforms.
- If you want to drive the crypto economy or just make profit from it, you can accept bitcoins for your product in your web or create a store in crypto-friendly platforms like
OpenBazaar.
Because if we keep seeing this pseudo-"ICOs" as legit, sooner rather than later we will see an ICO for each singular product, a cryptocurrency/token for each singular product, and this is not good for the crypto ecosystem. It is like if you go to the supermarket and you have to buy apples with "applecoins", cucumbers with "cucumbercoins" and condoms with "condomcoins". Or even worst, because each brand will have it's own cryptocurrency, so you will have to pay in "durexcoins", "trojancoins", "beyondsevencoins", "trustexcoins" or whatever.
This is as inefficient as adding a flux capacitor to your kit (unless you can travel back in time and warn yourself when you were just a boy to not eat so many candies). There is an expression in Spanish to define that: technologic "postureo", or more politely in French: façade.
Want to make a real favour to the crypto world? just announce this kit on the teleshopping claiming that you only accept bitcoins as means of payment.
P.D: just my opinion, nothing wrong with your product and I applaud your innovative vision but, man, you really can do it better; crypto isn't adding anything to your product, just money to your pocket.
You are absolutely RIGHT! Thanks God somebody hears me.
STOP producing COINS! FootballCoins, GameCoins, VirtaCoins, LikeCoins, DubaiCoin, GridCoin --- You name it!
Here we are talking only about
making REAL MONEY!
We do not need to crowdfund a project/product w Kickstarter. We already making revenue.
And we definitely will be accepting Bitcoins or similar one for our products.
We are looking for investments here, as you mentioned "just money to your pocket". But instead of "pocket" - we'll use our "business pocket" (account). So we can grow our business to the next level. That's what I'm exciting for!
Actually it's very dumb decision to take those money and run, as some NAMEIT-coins devs do here. Instead of
making more money legally with such good investments which you can find here, they take $100k and run.
What a dumb decision of poor people (and probably young with no experience in making businesses).
When
it's much better to take those $100k and legally turn it into $300k, or $1mln. No need to run.
More trust from investors, more tools to grow even bigger!Believe me, I traveled the whole World and
every continent already (find my blog here
https://medium.com/@dbl_ss/стартап-в-кругосветном-путешествии-94955684d291), with many failed startups, a lot of experience gained and just few success. With poor English and no oratory skills I was running across Silicon Valley
https://youtu.be/GHZjni8UCqw , while talented guys were sitting home, w/ afraid of failing or trying to scam people with shitty coins (like it's happening here). It is really hard to succeed, but it is better to work hard, than run whole your live with bad reputation.
Reputation in business is a thing that hard to build and easy to destroy.
I am always choose the hard path, it is the place, where magic and life happening
