Most hyped ICOs are just ideas and marketing with no real-world operations.
LakeBanker's ICO is interesting because it spins off from veteran crypto exchange LakeBTC. LakeBTC has been running since 2013, we have 10 million user accounts from 152 countries. The LakeBanker system itself has been running in Beta as a business segment within LakeBTC for 1.5 years. Now it's ready for the world.
You can check out LakeBanker's white paper here.
Our ICO is currently in Phase 1 where a small number of tokens are offered at a large discount. Most of the tokens will be sold in Phase 2 (mid-October).
Topic: Most hyped ICOs? (Read 435 times)
Which ICO's present and future are receiving the most buzz?
I'm looking after social coin (checkout my signature) which is going beyond the expectations and has already raised so much funds that anyone can benefit from it even after buying the token at the end of ICO!
I'm pretty sure founder and leader of social coin that is Jade Mulholad is also in ambiguity how they did make it so successful ICO:-) I mean it's really going great and would love to invest more once I get the funds.
That's the ICO I'm focusing currently.
I would be careful about the buzz around ICO's
I would much rather research a ICO myself and look into why it would be a good idea to invest. It is too easy to pay for advertising (which might not be the most promising / innovative ICO)
Media only really picks up on ICO's if there is a large amount of money being invested into a specific ICO. While this shows that people are interested, it does not tell you about the company, and if they are going to succeed.
For me there are a few signs to look for in a ICO
- Strong team - Both in development team and also the CEO's / marketing (no point having a great team to create something, if nobody can advertsie it and push the startup in the right direction.
- Realistic vision - not aiming too high or if they do not reach their target everyone who invested will be disappointed
- Solid whitepaper - Well thought out, shows realistic goals, a strong good vision and a plan of action
- Strong social media presence - A social media that shows they are connected with everyone
- Good customer support - Shows they care, and they have invested time and money into making sure the average investor can ask questions
- Good website - A business who is willing to throw time and effort into a good website are less likely to be a scam
- finite supply - ICO's with no cap can be dangerous and can simply just damage their own coin by releasing more for more investment.
-Market they are getting involved with - Is this a new market? or a dying one? who controls the market?
Finally
- Good concept and catchy name - A good ethos and a name that makes them stand out. Personally i would avoid anything that is something "coin".
If these are in place, then it's a good sign. I am looking at Crowdholding at the minute, seems like a good upcoming ICO (They are in their pre-sale), meaning you can get more for your investment.
