Crypto-space is in big big expansion, no wonder there are investors which are easily gamble with 10s and 100s of Bitcoins, they are mostly early Bitcoin adopters. And right now, the space is thirsty for Bitcoin replacement because Bitcoin is so in turmoil I personally don't believe it will stay alive in long term. So people push their funds to any project with are having such a good appeal as IOTA is, no wonder ICO was pretty successful both in terms of how many people entered and how many they invested.
Also I don't see why NXT is a scam. I wasn't personally involved, but what we have here is pretty good looking and functional P2P system, fact there were too small number of initial investors doesn't make it a scam if the product delivered was good enough for price skyrocketing. But I'm not butthurt about it, if I look back I could've been billionaire with all the chances I missed but I never had such a strong urge to make empty accusations. Please come with something more persuading, like some real evidence, not that empty shit about how ICO was intentionally stealth. Actually, EVEN if it was intentionally stealth - that doesn't make it a scam!
"Actually, EVEN if it was intentionally stealth - that doesn't make it a scam!"
OH.. okay. So slowly the acceptance of it being stealth is creeping in.
Yes, it does make it a scam now that it is now stealth turns to pumping for 3000% profit.
That's like say an intentionally stealth POW release isn't a scam. It isn't a scam if you say we want all the coins so we can pump whilst we control all the supply a dump it on you for huge profits before releasing our next stealth release NXT 3.
Your just sad you didn't invest when you had the chance.
Make a note to yourself: Check altcoin ann thread at least once a week.
Stop trying to divert and make it all about me. It is a broader topic here concerning the ICO and ICO's in general. If you have something to add with regards the points being made previously comparing well advertised and broadlty distributed vs small ICO with narrow distribution then feel free to make your point and compare them on the thread.
It should not be essential to check threads once a week or you miss the ICO. eth, maid, nem, lisk, even bitbay all gave you the dates of the ICO well before and advertised a lot more previous and during. Resulting in a much broader distribution. This is the discussion not trying to diver that to a single experience of one person.
Keep to topic.
You are giving your personal opinion on how Ico's should be run, I'm just saying I have a different opinion and think you are sad you missed it.
