People wonder why ICOs aren't anymore successful in 2018.
Before you get in, they promise the world.
After you buy, the whales who got in cheap dump, you find yourself at a loss, devs and mods start treating investors like shit saying things like "this is a long term project" and "we have no obligations for ICO particpants" "lrn the difference between investors and speculators", "community", "please don't talk about the token price", "greedy speculators"; etc.
Honestly - fuck this.
Not even 1% of the coming ICO is worth considering.
Looking back at 2017, there were so much rubbish and projects which never delivered ANYTHING and still racked millions with just a smart contract and a whitepaper that it is revolting.
Time for a change, the ICO model is done for.
I understand your pain, but the solution to this is simple we need to stop investing in the ico model, we cannot convince people in mass but each person will begin to take this decision when they realize that it is almost impossible to make money that way, in a way I think this is already happening, with the crash that we experimented at the beginning of the year many icos are failing to reach their soft caps and I hope this is the beginning of a new tendency in this market in which people stop being so naive and they understand that most icos are created with only one thing in mind and that is for the developers to make a fortune by scamming their investors.
