Topic: Do you support ICOs? (Read 2364 times)

The problem is that most of the ICO coins out there are just scams. It is very difficult to find a good coin.

If the coin worth i to invest,I will jiont the ICO.

Personally, I try to avoid them

Why do we have to pay them?

If they really believe in their coin they can simply use their early adopter status to mine large amounts in the early days when there is low difficulty and little competition.  They are sure to make a porfit later.

Instead they demand tens of thousands of dollars from the ICO and then hand themselves a big premine....

We have to pay the developers. So ICO can be a way to set up the project initially. It might support the devlopement from scratch.

in the most cases is SCAM.

I will only support ICOs by signature and bounties campaigns. If I have enough interest in an ICO, I will wait until it hits an exchange. I will let the market decide the price.

Trust ?

You are only concerned with trust to ensure you get you profits.

i did not hear how you would support them *IF* the project was legit.
Why ?
Because you and the others do not care.. what *IT* is.

Why do you think there is 7,000,000,000 people and 2,300 of them here daily ?
If this bullshit was legit it would be obvious.
Sorry there is no debate ..it's a ghost town here.

Lol, I was about to come in here and be blunt like this, but you beat me to the punch. I figure, if the asset were that awesome, we would have never heard about it because some company that sees its worth would have came and snapped it up. So the fact that they have to rely on the public for VC, instead of institutional VC, makes me feel some of this is simply too bleeding edge to be a sound investment.

No, Because mostly is pure SCAM.

even with research it's not easy to find a good ICO, they all have pros and cons so in the end it will be more about luck then search.
i've searched about waves before and didnt find problems, and look the mess it was in the launch.. look the price going at 1/2 ico price.

lisk had some cons against it and still did 3 times ico price at the launch.

I support ICOs if the developers are trustworthy and know what to do with the money raised. There were many instances where the developers wasted the money and the coin was dead after less than a year.

Without any regulation in crypto, it is important for us to do our own research to find out on the prospects of the ICO.

Yes!  I support the ICO of any coin who will do the campaign,  as long as they will surely fulfill what they said in the project.
Because most of the ICO I participated so far its good base in my experience.

ICO's are for what ? What is THE point ?
I think they are all pyramid scheme's pretty much..
Why ?
Look at the old Water Filter scam from the 80's etc.
Was the product sold and worth it ? NOPE.
If people wanted a water filter they could have just gone to the store & bought one.
There was far more to it than that !

So what is the ICO "product"

Fantastic uber elite super technological innovations that will blow you away and rock the world and change the Universe for ever & ever ?

Oh yeah ?
LIKE WHAT ?
DAPP'S ? 

None of these Altcoins (ICO or not) has had a real innovation over Bitcoin in 7 years.
If there was a TRUE REAL innovation it would be reflected crystal clear in the price of the Altcoin.
Instead we see an Altcoin worth cents and BTC worth $700.. a staggering difference !

You know how many times you all have whined and cawed like crows to me..
"They are like penny stocks" ? ..Uhhhm that is not a good thing 
Read my comment earlier about the recession ?

I have you all defending them hog tied.. you have 0 valid retorts.
You keep all trying to replay the same old cliched moronic excuses.
and they fail as always.

The only thing happening here is repetition..
What is happening on the forum is you guy think if you out-post-count the guys exposing the fraud..
then you can still lure in some victims that are vulnerable to your smart contract ICO techno faggotry schemes.

A facade.. playing out for attention.

These guys have argued with the same other guys 100's of times.
They are only saying it for the reader who comes here watching things
and... So they can sucker them into buying ICO scam coins.
WHY ?

Because they are BAG HOLDING them.. and they only make profit when other guys get suckered into
claims of "the future"

"They" all have a financial agenda backing their defense of ICO's.
They also admit these ICO's are are manipulated on Markets (with no regulations)
And so are their forum comments
The comments here are just as manipulative as the markets ..why would they be different ?

THEY want your money ..i do NOT.

So i ask you the real intended target of all this.. (the audience)
Don't be low hanging fruit to these sleazy greedy loser douche bag profiteers.
They will put $1 in your hand to sucker you so they can get all of your money later.
THEY feed you bullshit while they have their hand in your pocket.

Welcome to www.CryptoHandWaiving.org 

If you are stupid enough to buy ICO's then i have a special offer for you..
You see my Cousin is a Nigerian Prince and he can't access his money with getting 10k for fee's.
So if you can help "crowd fund" for the Prince he would be so grateful.. PM me for TX details.
There will be a handsome reward of course.

I do support them. Sometimes I make money doing it and sometimes I end up a bagholder but most of the time im happy about my decision.

Even the ones that use an escrow address are bad. I've seen so many projects do the bare minimum to meet the conditions of the escrow and fizzle out in a month or less. I for one, am going to absolve never to stick my toe and check the waters of any of these again. So far, I have only found that they are all cesspools of greed.

I just support ICOs who has a escrow address and where I can see something new, but I think 95% are scam, specially Yobit ICOs (At least in the signature campaign Yobit pays so good hahahaha).

They are a no go for me. I tried many of these out and made a little profit. However, in the end, I always ended up complaining and starting to FUD, which was well deserved for all of them. One should be fearful, uncertain and doubtful when it comes to these. I am now saving myself the painful step of buying into these and will be going straight to FUD. It's just not worth the pittance that I ever profited from any of them.

I do. Ico is a far way to help build something and get in at the ground floor while building it.

ICOs are a good idea but they have not been done very well yet. Here are some tips for people looking to start an ICO.

- Do not sell off 100% of all coins in 1 big crowdsale.
- Sell off 10% in order to build a plan.
- Sell off more to complete that plan.
- Sell off more to do marketing.

Instead of raising 100 million USD. Raise $50,000 USD and build a plan. Then raise $100,000 a month to build it. Then raise millions for marketing.
