Whatever...legally, neither are accurate. A cryptocoin is legally property, not a security, so the legally accurate term is "pre-sale." A pre-sale of a (digital) good not yet manufactured, like a lawnmower company pre-selling lawnmowers it hasn't manufactured yet. Regardless of what you think of them, the Etherium boys are right on that one. Seems they consulted real lawyers, rather than deciding to play one on the Internet. Smiley

But that said, I also know what the world "nitpicking" means. As of now, I might as well get all fussbudgety over the metaphorical use of the term "schizophrenic," as it would be as futile as getting pedantic over the term "IPO" as used around here.

Word.

You're spot on.

I agree completely. Wink

ICO find more palatable, but not in the form in which th cryptocurrency submitted to different exchanges. Need protection against fraud.

I prefer a well organised and executed  POW with a reasonable premine for devs that is multisig and held by escrows... only released to devs as they reach their milestones they promised.


ICO and IPO both unregulated and totally gamed scams for the most part. 100% premine with lots of ways to ensuring devs and pals get huge proportion of it if there is good tech... or dumping it all on investors if there is nothing behind it. Either way total lose lose for everyone else in comparison to the dev team.

ICO with reasonable long term mining = better but still not as good as full pow.

I thinkBoth IPO & ICO means , dev selling off some initial coins that he have at the beginning. all the profit goes to dev right?
I am unsure about it but you can correct me.

thank you.
That is correct it can make or break a coin it depends if the devs has a roadmap on the coins that he is offering then you have a good investment,it's always pays off to see if it is just a clone of a shitcoin just do your research..

My thing is, I keep missing out on the good investments, My gut told me ro get involved with ethereum project before it took off. Me being a skeptic, passed on as it slowly climbed its way up. Then boom, it fired off its way up the charts. I'm more of a speculative holder of crypto than an enthusiast. I know crypto is the future,  I guess im waiting for the next big crypto to invest in.
Bitcoin serves as a solid foundation to build upon. What will the next big crypto be, and will there be a need for ipo/ico in its future?  Huh
