Raising a low amount on an ICO is the best thing for the investors.
Remember; DAO, Lisk, Waves.
you are right waves coin to remember
Totally agree... how lower the ICO amount how better the results will be for the investors. Waves didn't move because of the last day 10000 BTC extra in ICO funds, that made Waves 30% more expensive. The profit on Waves is really small, but still , 40% on 10 BTC = 4 BTC.... Lisk is infact a great ICO, ICO price was only 18k and it traded above 80k for a very long time... so Lisk doesn't fit in this list. DAO... i didn't join, i bought on the drops and took a few hundred euros profit on it.
I think the always need 1250 btc, what if btc will fall?
Yes, BTC was at one stage only worth $250... it all depends how many hotels they have to book, how many plane tickets, how much they spend on marketing etc. DOGE was a coin without ICO and it is still around ,so a lot more depends on the community. If there is a community then it doesn't matter if ICO funds was 1000 BTC - 10000 BTC or just 10 BTC. Every community member that can develop software can be part of RISE, every person that own RISE can be part of RISE sales team... Coins like Blackcoin also didn't had any money... if a coin deliveries then you don't need to spend a lot of money. Also remember it is based on Lisk, so everything what is being developed for Lisk can be backported into Rise.
The community is always an strong power behind every project simply advance technology without a community will fall apart and vice versa shit coin will last long if support with a huge community doge is an example here .
So it is better to develop something new without merging lisk developed softwares .
Yes, but it is easy to take something that already exist too... remember what RISE is developing will be backported by Lisk and the other way around, if not, then it really doesn't make sense... In 2017 you will have 10 lisk based coins as people will start to understand the software and it will become a easy way to create new coins using the same software. This is in fact destroying those new coins, as everything is open source, we had the X11 hype, we had the script hype, we had the X13 hype, now i already find 3 coins using Lisk base source code, and believe me, at the end of the year we will have 10 coins using Lisk based code... not that there is something wrong with it, as the good ones will stay in business and the bad ones will just be ignored.
