I remember a time when ICOs were open for whole weeks and you could actually make a deliberation on whether to invest based on how much money was thrown at a project and your valuation of the token's worth.

Those days are long gone. The BAT ICO sold out in 30 seconds, Bancor collected $150M in 3 hours and SONM's website was taken offline right after the start of the ICO.

So my question is this, what is the probability I'll be able to get a piece of the action in the case of the following ICOs:

1) Status - they've stated on their whitepaper that they want to
discourage whales from attempting to corner the supply. The question remains, though, will they succeed? Also, will MEW crash again?

2) TenX - This one is probabily a lost cause. Your thoughts on the probability of actually being able to buy
the tokens and transaction fee estimates.

3) Omise Go - Same as above.

I'm planning to invest around 1 ETH in each because they're speculative flips and because the bulk of my money is in BTC, ETH and alts as a long term investment.


1) Status succeed. 20K+ holders. no whales. MEW crashed indeed..

2) TenX ICO also done as well, I think very few holders. probably many Whales.

3) Omise GO ICO is canceled.
