Title: The Decentraland project collected $24 million in 35 seconds
Post by: NEUROSEED on August 28, 2017, 11:32:33 AM
Decentraland, which came out on the ICO on August 19, finished raising funds in record time - 35 seconds despite the plan for the campaign to consist 8 days. Interest in the project was expressed by 10,000 investors, but 7,000 people remained unsatisfied.
For the MANA project tokens you can purchase or sell LAND virtual property and also immerse yourself fully in the cyber economy created by the virtual reality of Decentraland.
Decentraland offered the market an innovative product, where it is, in fact, possible to provide its computing power to create a global decentralized virtual platform.

What do you think of it?

We cannot be sure really as to how it happen. It is possible that before the ICO they have informed large real estate investors beforehand that cause a significant reaction to their ICO. There is possibly also a hype or they are just lucky and one giant investor has purchased a huge amount of coins during the ICO. There are many possible explanations but we do not know the real answers but the most important thing is that their launching of their ICO is a success.

The sure thing is that Decentraland founder has a lot of connection to real estate investor, the same things happens with buildings developer from all over the world the first thing is that they will ask their friend to buy a room/suite/whatever in their newly built apartment for couple of dollars down payment then they will announce that their apartment is selling fast thus attracting real consumer.

Sadly but the fact that the decentraland already sold for some whales and a lot of people can't participate in the crowdsale, You must remember the countdown or ico already started than the dev's expected.
It doesn't good as the decentraland is one of the best ico in august.

I assumed that the investors were most likely attracted in advance, since at one hype there is not enough to collect money for such a time

Will increase competition in the global world, especially online by sharing projects offered have good quality in the system performance but must be in a healthy way without any political manipulation.

This topic has a mixed of opinion i can't fully say this is a scam because from past ico tokens did sell really faster than expected but 35 seconds for such a high amount seems to fast. This surely happened because the company could have done local advertising.
The second theory might be they already informed some big people in field of real estate prior to the ico.

Ico contributors are totally looking for manipulatios where they can make 5x 10x in short period of time. If it's a scam project, how they could manage to collect $25 million in seconds? This is the interesting part. BAT also had collected very big amount in minutes as far as I remember.

'cryptohunter' is known for pushing only projects he is invested in and calling everything else a scam, don't bother ;)

After so much anticipation and hard work, last Thursday we concluded our MANA token launch. People from all over the globe contributed 86,260 ETH, or approximately $25 million USD. Over 2,000 unique buyers came together to make this happen. We are incredibly thankful to all participants and humbled by the support of the community as we build Decentraland.
Thanks to our community and distribution partners, we managed to distribute MANA tokens all across the globe. Analyzing the results from these platforms, the average ticket per contributor was in line with that of other successful token sales.
Due to the overwhelming response to the project, almost 7,000 transactions did not go through, which resulted in a lot of disappointment. We anticipated this issue, and looked into alternatives to deal with this. One possible solution was removing the cap, which was not in our contributors’ best interest. All future fundraising for Decentraland will be conducted through our Continuous Token Model, tied to the performance of the project and building a viable product that delivers value to the user. At the same time, we want to congratulate the 0xproject for their approach to this problem.

Yes, I stay away from those that have been mega-hyped. Some smaller ones can be good value though.
If I'm interested in a project, I just get in on the signature campaign.

So these 7,000 investors were mainly real estate people? Real estate people are also good at crypto? I doubt it. But I think every ICO that has this type of whale buying in less than one minute is just a form of manipulation. Just a few people trying to cash in on an ICO. But let's see. Time will tell.

Wow this is getting insane. How is an average Joe supposed to get in with 35 seconds?

it's just simple demand.

$24 million hard cap but $100+ million in interest = sold out in seconds. easy as that

It's as simple as sell it to yourselves or insiders that are refunded for a pretend hard cap of 24M because of course they would rather have 24M dev funding than the 100M interest lol

Then get it to exchanges and all the insiders that got it for nothing then collude to buy and sell to themselves generating fake volume whilst pumping the price higher and higher and sucking in fomo noobs.

Prettybuds is an obvious pumping shill for lots of insider projects

Make a note to yourselves to avoid any pump and dump insider scams he mentions or defends.

With unregulated icos and insta ico is exactly the same as 100% premine.

Assume the worst with these insider schemes. The entire mc is inflated by a host of these crap scam projects that were not there a few months ago.

Look for old projects with real road maps with actual progress being made over long periods of time.

A list of these shills and scammers should be created and updated so that they keep having to make new accounts ... zero post accounts that come pumping are auto assumed as the scammers they are 99.9999% of the time.

It;s as simple as this. If i said to you that you can have 100M (the interest in the project he claims) or you can have 24M .... why would you want 24M and not 100M??

One reason only. It's a type 2 ico inside collusion market making scam. Get ready to see it on coin market cap (the most misleading scammers tool) for 100M so you all assume these investors made 4x their investment.

They can hold it at 100M or raise it to 1BN very simply just by colluding and selling and buying from themselves only paying fees most probably have arrangements with exchanges to even get reduced fees. This fomo sucks in investors so the few whales and insiders that got the tokens for free gradually extract millions and millions of dollars before the project is reveal as the crap it always was.

Then they create a new project and do the same shit over and over.

Wise up.

Just look at the top 100 MC... most of the new ICO projects have NOTHING but a pipe dream and a road map. They will never complete half their road maps and the development funds will be gone.

Most icos are scams pure and simple. The devs know there is zero chance of those road maps ever getting done.

nobody mentions that demand came from Chinese investors? about 3/4 of cap was reached before the official ICO even started (reached on chinese ICO platforms). Also big Chinese names at advisors list appeared there.

I'm disappointed when I see this level of discussion, scams, scams and scams... Simply demand, huge demand and a specific model of tokens distribution.
