With more and more currency daily, its becoming hard to identify genuine ones

This is one of the disadvantage crypto currencies or altcoins is it's decentralized nature cause it is not own by anyone thus people can use it however they like whether good or bad. So now the job of one the of the biggest CEO in the US is to accused bitcoin everyday as fraud when bitcoin enters a dip they buy lots of it because they think it is more profitable than their actual business. I rather invest or altcoin or bitcoin than listen to a capitalist who is threatened by this digital currencies.

I think that not all ICO's are scam. Not all, but a majority of em. If you believe what team is doing you can invest.
I believe in Confideal.

He does have a point that anyone could start up a token, sell a token that has no product but a vision, then disappear or defunct the project. Everyone would have to use due diligence to find the best ones that suite the cyrptocurrency market. Every ICO is a risk but as they say, the higher the risk, the greater the reward.

I also watched that movie and im saddened because in order to achieve great wealth you need to dump other people. The movie story is somehow true.

Too much bad people , the one who have a real plan and real products sometimes has no interest in it ,
It's because the scam ico always offering non sense rewards ,
And people as always hooked and get trapped there , not surprising at all greedy people everywhere.

I somewhat agree with what Mr. Belfort said about ICOs. Not all, but a majority of the ICOs are scam and if it can't be controlled now, it will become similar to the hyip market. People will raise money by showing a great concept to the mass and then run away with that money without actually bringing that project into reality. China has already banned ICO and as per some recent news, Canada has started cracking down some ICO scammers recently. ICO market needs a big time cleanup otherwise, it will only bring down the reputation of crypto currency market.

He don't have to conclude that all of the ICOs are scam. There are legit ICOs that are getting investors to pursue their project but there are others also that are collecting money from their investors and will eventually scam them. And it definitely there's an interconnection between this guy and also Jamie Dimon because they keep on talking against bitcoin every time there will be published articles.
The problem is ICO's, not Bitcoin.
~snip~
Yes, good catch and additional info.They are all hiding in bitcoin's name and the most affected coins when the talk is about cryptocurrency is bitcoin. And with this statement of Jordan Belfort, bitcoin is the most affected coin for this because those people that really don't have an idea about crypto's when ICO's or cryptocurrencies are involved to scam, they are thinking that it's bitcoin.
Yes, there are legit ICO's and having a legit projects. They want to raised funds by issuing tokens. Like the kickstarter, ICO's is another way to do it where digital currency is used. Too bad, ICO's are not regulated where anyone can do it even scammer.

I don’t remember ever having seen crazier times of more pandemic proportions.
“It is the biggest scam ever, such a huge gigantic scam that’s going to blow up in so many people’s faces. It’s far worse than anything I was ever doing,” explained Jordan Belfort concerning ICOs (initial coin offerings) of cryptocurrencies. The former penny-stock broker portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street should know: He spent 22 months in the hoosegow for securities fraud and money-laundering.

ICO's have ruined cryptocurrency.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go to Jail.
And no, there is no 'good' ICO.
You're either memeing real hard or you didn't dig deep enough. Sure, >99% of ICOs are either trash or outright scams, but that doesn't mean that there is no good ICO.Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go to Jail.
And no, there is no 'good' ICO.
Agreed. I loved reading this article. ICO's are incredibly volatile - and now the whole PRE-ICO is even scarier of a concept (could go even better - or basically pre-fund a fund of a scam LOL)

Just about anyone can call themselves a startup, make promises of future products or services, and sell digital tokens to raise funds. These digital tokens become tradable cryptocurrencies. Buyers do not receive any ownership of the startup, which is what traditional startup investors get. Instead they’re usually promised something in the future, such as free access to the service once available. It doesn’t really matter what the promises are because people buy the tokens to get rich, hoping that they’re getting into the hottest cryptocurrency on the ground floor. ICOs are not regulated and anything goes.
he might have been unlucky, following a scam project, I don’t remember ever having seen crazier times of more pandemic proportions.

so he was depressed and tried to poison other peoples minds in order not to contribute anymore in any project,
remember , not all ICO projects are SCAM ..

Government regulations are necessary. I guess it will take another 2-3 years to feel confident about ICOs.
