Title: Feasibilty of participating in high-profile ICOs Post by: De Selby on June 18, 2017, 12:37:02 PM I remember a time when ICOs were open for whole weeks and you could actually make a deliberation on whether to invest based on how much money was thrown at a project and your valuation of the token's worth.
Those days are long gone. The BAT ICO sold out in 30 seconds, Bancor collected $150M in 3 hours and SONM's website was taken offline right after the start of the ICO. So my question is this, what is the probability I'll be able to get a piece of the action in the case of the following ICOs: 1) Status - they've stated on their whitepaper that they want to discourage whales from attempting to corner the supply. The question remains, though, will they succeed? Also, will MEW crash again? 2) TenX - This one is probabily a lost cause. Your thoughts on the probability of actually being able to buy the tokens and transaction fee estimates. 3) Omise Go - Same as above. I'm planning to invest around 1 ETH in each because they're speculative flips and because the bulk of my money is in BTC, ETH and alts as a long term investment.

MEW crashed indeed.. 2) TenX ICO also done as well, I think very few holders. probably many Whales. 3) Omise GO ICO is canceled. |
