Rise is clearly a scam.

Keep crying wolf, scam this scam that. You are not doing us any good, you are softening the stance against proven scams. I'm sure you have the best of intentions but you are enabling real scammers.

Indeed - folk who bleat scam as an almost involuntary response to anything they are not invested in says a lot more about them than the things they target. Cheesy

False. I invested in Waves, and still have my coins. I just know that someday it will be worth more. You're a typical jealous guy who doesn't have enough money to enter in this Roll Eyes

...

Jealous of your coins that you are bagholding for a loss?

I sold mine in the first minute for a 50% profit. You are the one who is in denial pal.

I figured something like this would happen Undecided

But in truth, we're seeing "ICO exhaustion." The ICO pyramiders got burned in WAVES and learned a somber lesson about pyramiding.

Myself, it seems the only way I can play the game is by holding for the long-term. Shoulda done that with NEM....

Those who invested during fundraising period are now in negative equity so what is there to be jealous of exactly when anyone can go to bittrex and buy this junk below what you originally paid?

Nxt is leading again. Investing now in a 100% functional (not vaporware promises) 1.0 platform gets you a stake in the ARDOR future platform.

Sadly, I doubt we have seen the end of ICOs. Scammers are lined up waiting to fleece the sheep of their hard earned money.

Wait till the "next big thing" arrives. People will throw their money at it like always.

They have an Achilles heel and I am about ready to put an end to this ICO nonsense (see my prior post upthread):

The bolded part in your response is exactly what ETH/DAO is. Not to say these maniacs can't push the price much higher in the future but the con will only last so long.

The way the insiders manipulate the market with these premined tokens is explained, and note the high leverage employed which means if they run out of tokens to margin with, it is like a house-of-cards and will implode to 0 in a heartbeat:

They siphon off BTC for as long as they can and high as they can pump it, then game over and they walk away with BTC and the fools walk away with empty bags.

Also some (including the Daoattacker) allege that the USGovt + MIT (university) are complicit in the ETH pump:

I'm investing in the LIR ico. The ico bandwagon is still rolling. And the shorter the ico the more profit in for the early investors because more people miss out.

No, but everyone knows the 'game' now. Only complete idiots would buy above the ico price these days.

After I demontrate how to launch and raise funds without an ICO, then an ICO will probably be frowned upon:

Sasha and his waves project will end in scam.

Rise is clearly a scam.

People are only 'investing' in ICOs so they can dump on the first day and 'invest' in the next one. But now everyone is doing this, so there is no greater fool to purchase them.

The glory days are finished.

Reminds me about how everyone said the same about Vitalik and then almost a year later... Grin
