Topic: Would you support an Israeli ICO? (Read 557 times)

If you refuse to invest in a promising and legitimate ICO because of the developers' race or the project's origin, you should have yourself checked. Maybe you have a "racism disease"

It's contagious and can be easily transmitted especially if a person has a very low number of brain cells.

Hope my sarcasm is not that implicit as this kind of mentality should stop.

I am not a supporter of Israel and feel that the Palestinian people are being treated unfairly after being evicted of their territory but yes I can leave politics aside. I have Israeli friends, I have stakes in Senno which is a NEO token project with an Israeli team.

I think sometimes it's necessary to leave politics aside to move in the right direction for the common good but it's a good question, I am sure some people will not for political reasons.

That's the whole point of blockchain - to have a border-less economic system even with parties you don't necessarily get along with but with blockchain technology become somewhat trustworthy.

Not because of ISRAEL   because all ICO will ask for PHOTO ID   KYC
Know your customer ..So passport ID selfie address all the information to prove who you are..

I would be extremely cautious before investing in an ICO, especially if that country isn't experienced with ICOs.  I know Israel is quite up to date on crypto-currency, I just don't know if that country is ready for ICO regulation yet. 

Yes I will as long as they give and do there part I have no problem with it. Plus, anyone can be a scam and just because they are known for something negative doesnt mean they cant prove something good.

I would really look into it and make sure it is not a scam , and once i am 100% sure then i would support it.

thats the problem, why supporting an ico that gives a flying fuck about you? i mean only people in developing countries had that situation, so money systematically flew from the developing world to the developed one.

I think that supporting an ICO is not related to which country's ICO it is. I only support which real ICO. For scam ico, no matter which country I am sure I will not support.

I have already supported one, and many people in this forum also did: we've supported Bancor, which is one of the best and most clever projects out there. Bancor has an Israelian team, all very clever people.

Thats impossible they will benefit them

Whether I invest or not, do not decide by country, as long as it does not cheat. Even though I do not like Israel very well, but the thing that interests me when investing is profit

What has Israel's politics to do with crypto? If I had to avoid supporting ICOs based on the fact if I like the policies of the countries where they happen I would have to avoid ALL ICOs, since there are no countries in the world whose politics is "clean".

I will definitely trust Israeli projects much more their ICOs. I trust them more than any other projects that would hold ICOs. Israel has credibility when it comes to success, innovations, inventions, technologies. A very young country and yet very much advance economically. If you are planning to hold one please let us know.

I don't have anything against Israel, so I would invest in a legitimate Israeli company if it fit into my financial goals. It's ICOs I have a lot of hesitations about. The vast majority of them end up never really going anywhere, which means a loss of investor funds. There are, of course, the scams, but there are also those initiatives started by people who mean well and truly intend to deliver, but they lack skills or resources to make it happen. I wrote an article analyzing one particular ICO, but they're pretty much all the same: https://steemit.com/ico/@wiser/a-critical-look-at-an-ico-whitepaper

As long as it's not benefitting zionism or israeli regime it's ok

I'd have to have a sense for how much the principles were influenced by the Babylonian Talmud.  I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of Israelis who understand the [ethic supremacist and genocidal] nature of that religion and reject it.  In that case I would certainly consider doing business with them even if they would be probably be targeted for destruction by the Zionists and thus be fairly likely to fail.

On the contrary, if the people involved embraced the teachings of the Talmud and Zohar, they are at least predictable.  All one has to do is to imagine the most scummy and treacherous actions they could take and that's probably what they will do.  That's especially problematic because my goyim status makes me fair game.  Currently this creepy sect seems to be in control in Israel...and most of the rest of the world.  They have a leg up tech-wise because they can steal any technology they want and make a ton of money selling it to the highest bidder.  If one ever wondered why their weapons systems don't seem to work for shit, this is probably why.

Maybe someone in Israel can cook up an OrganCoin to ease the financial problems associated with the organ trafficking trade?  One of the most amusing things I've seen in a while was when a mainstream news reporter accidentally did her job:

I would never support an Israeli ICO, because Israel's action against Palestinians is a crime against humanity.

Crypto promises us a borderless and truly global financial system.

True believers can be found anywhere. Israel, USA, Iran, Russia. Who you are, and what you do, that is what matters, not where you are from.

On top of that, Israel hosts some of the best tech talent and one of the best crypto communities in the world.

Some of the best ICOs are coming/will come from there

yes i will, given Israel's reputation on technology as innovative and really a game changer.  I will still do my usual diligence though to make sure the project is clear and not a scam.

I have no problem whatsoever investing in an Israeli ICO, as long as it doesn't have for goal to colonize palestinian soil  .

"israeli jewish ico"

is an ico that pushes jews and judaism, its not a economy or humanism focused ico, but a ritualistic one.

I have no problem investing in Israeli ICO provided the whitepaper helps me understand the real purpose of the token

No way I Am not gona invest even 1 single $ Due To D.trump Statement of Jerusalem which is very important for muslims because the second pillar of Islam, to pray five times a day,

As long as it stands to make investors money, why should people stop themselves from making money just because they are anti-semitic. Because of hatred for an ethnicity we shouldn’t devoid ourselves of making some money.

It is not that simple. For example, if you are a resident of Iran and the authorities notice that you have crypto-links to Israel, then there is a small chance that you may be branded as an Israeli spy and detained for further investigation. Just saying that there can be unwelcome scenarios...

I see no reason why would you disqualify any ICO because of the country of origin?
If the project is strong, why would you not invest?
That is just silly.

It doesn't matter whether an Israeli, an Asian or maybe an American start and ICO project what matters there is the plan for that project, what is its purpose of making. The important thing here is whether the investors will be interested in such project since without those investors, I think the project will be really something that will be quickly forgotten.

I agree, as long as they are legit there should be no reason not to invest. I would probably find it hard to invest if they weren't apolitical on the matter though. People who who would decide not to invest based on the geography of where the members happened to be born are basically being equally as discriminatory as the people they claim to appose.

i will support that of course. i have always admird that nation, they are sitting in the driver's sit an literally driving the world as the prime minister Netanyahu said recently at AIPAC in US. Great guys, believe me guys.

it would be very sad if anyone decided not to support/invest/etc. a project just because it's from Israel. In business and trade, there is no place for such a thing, you must be a realist, otherwise you will fail.

Israel is one of the most talented countries, a real startup nation. We all can envy of Israeli people's mentality when it comes to entrepreneurship. It's a country with only 8 million people, located in a volatile region from a geopolitical perspective, surrounded by  countries opposing the very existence of Israel and with no any significant natural resources or natural condition. It is totally legitimate not to agree with Israel's political stance on Palestines or other policies, but politics must be separated from economy and trade, at least in crypto and blockchain for sure. We all believe in the power of blockchain,  that it will really change the world and make it better, so no need to bring politics on the table and let's support and give trust for Israeli projects.

i am from germany

considering history lessons in school i would say clearly: no

apparently the jews have a very dark history, with finance,

they are likely to repeat what they did before to drop everything and seek to establish themselves into the financial system, like a leeching&ritualistic mafia clan

alone the name "israeli" or "jewish" ico sounds suspicious

if you call yourself and market yourself this way, you do that approach you jepordise the history lessons the jews went through, and through which god has put them through.

today there are jewish bakerers, jewish butchers, jewish soldiers, jewish lawyers, jewish teachers, jewish farmers, you should appreciate that, it wasnt always this way.

so consider very carefully before naming an ico "jewish" or "israeli"

beside this i am actually supporting the jewish state

i would leave politics aside and base my decision entirely on the project itself. i would do the same for every ICO from every country.

I don't see the need of not investing in ICO just because of political reason . If only the ICO is going to increase my money and I think the team is solid with a good service to offer and good return of my capital, why won't I invest in it.

Yes, by all means. I don't base my decision based on the biases of the majority. I have a mind of my own, I  can decide for myself.

Finding it really hard to take the politics aside. In my opinion, i will not be supporting or be funding ICOs whose origin is from Israel. We can never really know the true intention of the ICO and where the money will go. If this is the case, some will just introduce an ICO, but on the other hand, it might just reveal that all the investors money will just be used to fund for the next 9/11 or the next shooting incident.

Yes Of course, I will support Israeli ICO.

Israeli technologies are innovative. I would love to invest in these technologies.
So yes, I will invest in Israeli ICOs.

if its a good project why the hell not, making money should be everyone's priority, and mr. taleb famously wrote " if you want people to stop fighting, teach them to how trade" maybe be iam paraphrasing but you might get the gist. supporting an ico for money making opportunity might be a best idea for any sane person, and if the question intends to bring in israel-palestine conflict for not buying in a good project then dear friend its time to visit political affiliations. identity politics is a bad symptom for capitalistic frame of mind.

No country can deny the power of blockchain technology that is fast spreading across the and Israel is no exception.Any legit ICO from Israel will be strongly supported by me because every country under the sun is bound to accept cryptocurrency in a grandstyle.Only time will tell the power of blockchain technology across the globe.

Of course.
I was referring only to legit ICOs, not scam or suspicious TGEs.

Yes ofcouse, after all profit is what i am interested in and as long as they are not scams and i can make profit from my support i dont have any problem. Since my support can not in any way contribute to their conflict, why not?

I have no problem in investing in any Israeli ICOs, as long as they are not scams. For me, profit comes before everything else. And why should I get myself involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Let them fight it out among themselves and I am not interested in taking sides.

Israel has long been hailed as the “start-up nation” due to the large number of successful tech companies that have been founded in the area, such as ICQ, Wix and Waze, to name a few. Despite just having a population of 8.1 million, there are more Israeli companies listed on NASDAQ than any other country except China.

Israel for some of you that don`t know is involved in many blockchain startups & ICOs and is one of the major
hubs for this new economy in the world.

QUESTION IS - would you leave the politics out of it when examining a token \coin \ or a startup coming from Israel?.
or would you pass?

Have a nice day
