Topic: If an ICO team is anonymous, is it a scam? - page 27. (Read 4385 times)
I advise you to look for projects whose teams are displayed, to be able to find team information from the projects you are currently participating in.
Satoshi has been creating a fully working product and blockchain platform called bitcoin and this team created nothing to be showed. It's too risky to believe in a new team without a fully working product.
If this team create an ico and it can't be trusted and believe me that involved a very high risk.

I can recommend to skip ICO with the anonymous team because you can loose your invested money. Don't risk your money if you're not sure about the project. Satoshi didn't raise money!
When deciphering between legit and scam ICO's, one of the main things everyone says is "you have a look at the team and see if they're transparent."
The thing is, the whole ideology behind decentralization is that it gives the public control over the economy's trajectory, rather than centralized and specific entities.
I see the Virternity Project, for example (https://virternity.com/), which prefers anonymity, but I'm not sure it means it's a scam ICO.
from their FAQ:
"Why aren't you revealing who is in your team?"
"The members of our team are enthusiastic about the idea of creating the Virternity space for the whole world. We want to avoid “buy-outs” of our specialists and co-workers, and also avoid pressure on them.
Also, given the limited financing at the initial stage, we are using anonymity as a shield for our technological secrets—the specifics of our current and future developments.
Many members of our team have serious jobs in major firms and do not want to advertise their participation in a non-commercial project, in order to avoid conflicts of interest.
In the future, once these factors are less of an issue, we plan to publicly name the founders and key personnel."
Satoshi remains anonymous..
Thoughts?
