China "killes" ICO and Paris Hilton is going to buy coins.

Will ETH survive this?
And is the the beginning off a battle between China (BTC mining) and the rest of the blockchain world?

Paris Hilton inflates crypto bubble some more, backs Initial Coin Offering

I think ETH will have to find a new business model to raise again like it did after the ICO trend started. But are there other use cases? i don't know any.

WOW, this news sway the world today...
When promis announce they 're going to get involved in crypto-world, are they really interested or are paid for it by third party or  do they see it as an efficient leverage to enhance their influence and popularity?
And once more question: if a promi shares info that they are in the particular ICO, does it mean that ICO is a bubble or that the promi is "a bubble" and ICO is  "a double trouble"?

LOL, I was hoping you were talking about the Hilton Hotel IN Paris, France.
Wild day, no one would believe possible if it was a fictional story.

ps. The company is based in the USA, what!?
Are there many other US companies dumb enough to try an ICO?

Hilton is not the first celebrity that backs an ICO though.There are famous names such as mayweather and suarez.

It was hot day today.
It's all getting weird day by day. It is interesting to watch  ;D

Indeed it's very hot I was sweating when bitcon's price went down but I'm glad it's increasing slowly now. I hope this will stabilize soon and I hope there's no more bad news this week, my heart couldn't take it anymore  :D :D

This Paris hilton almost killed me today... She is the reason we are crashing... joke it is all china fault

What if it just started  :-[ :D
I can't take it anymore though, too much action for me  ;D


It's all about Paris   :P :D

September 4th man, a day to remember definitely! The crypto world never ceases to suprise and deliver crazy things on a weekly basis, hahaha

when I see paris hilton I get an eiffel tower  in my pants  ;D  ;D
and now buy bankera . its time to say give me coins

Paris Hilton is the only thing that can save the market now

hahhahaha, can you imagine the scenes... Paris Hilton and Floyd Mayweather to the rescue of the crypto world!!

Wow i didnt knew that all this mess happened today, i thought that only the chineses measures were the only issue that the bitcoin price was down, but now i get it.
But lets go people, ethereum would not die because of this dump, bitcoin would not too, this is just temporary, and remember that exactly one week ago bitcoin was more cheaper than now.
so this will keep going guys, dont worry.

I am sure that Ethereum will survive this. Maybe it will see some lower prices in the short term but in long term the price will grow up with bitcoin or without bitcoin, thats fore sure. They will have some nice airdrops in the next time and I think they will be profitable.

China is just drving crazy guys, dont get weak :)

op is concerned aabout ethereum but it is the strongest amongst most of other coins. Q4 of 2017 will be the ethereums stage, all other ico platforms will watch ether

I made a mistake. It looks like American companies can launch an ICO if they register with the SEC, caution is advised.

celebrities plunge into the world of coins ,, what because he has the popularity so involved to boost ico in order to succeed ::)

It is not that late for celebrities to realize the potential of the crypto-world. It is expected that more and more wild ICOs will be coming.

there is/was somewhere some celebrity coin around, I think it already started... soon we will have Hilton coins, Schwarzenegger coins... :-)

I think China kill NEO not ETH. ETH is a platform use for many project not from china

These are great news that celebrities support ICO campaigns. But what influence can come from a person, whose image is more appropriate for the Barbie dolls promotion?

you will know its not China's fault after the regulation spread all over the world, the ICO is so crazy that it kill itself, none of a government will like a unregulated financing, and it cause many many ordianry people lose all their money

I think I'm more scared of Paris Hiltion getting into crypto than of China banning ICO's  ;D

China may have taken a bite out of the cryptocurrency, but it is still standing strong and will come back stronger. There are also countries who are going the completely opposite direction to China and embracing cryptocurrencies. Estonia is looking into the possibility of having it’s own national cryptocurrency.
A lot of celebrities invest in ICO. Paris Hilton is not the first and not the last.
Cryptocurrencies have future, and they are still increasing in price the day after the hit.

Not really, I think NEO is in a perfect position to work with their government regarding ICO regulations after all, since its inception they're already talking about regulation compliance, ETH is not. ETH might just simply exclude Chinese people (China market, which has significant market share in crypto) so ETH might just lose that market share. Funny thing is NEO can do that as well if they have to just to reduce legal burden, hey they're a blockchain project too (global).

Probably celebrities will use it for some good purpose like charity for example

yup i think indeed ico from china not many who use platform from ethereum more exactly even wear NEO
hopefully ico not dead

China about the ico is just a matter of regulation or we can say that the ico now just like become stock in real life. And goverment want to take a tax from it.

And paris hilton is not the cause of price dumping. It will make crypto great again. Just like trump promise to american people..heheh

It's mainstream, we finally achieved it, you guys thought it was buying coffee with your bitcoins, the reality is celebrities pumping ICOs. :D :D

China banned bitcoin a few times, don't get too surprised, we all were expecting authorities cracking down on ICOs.

Barbie dolls are wholesome compared to Paris HOlton. Please try to refrain from slandering Barbie.  :P

now many international public figures are turning into promoters ico hopefully his future will be more public figures like that

since myweather the boxer follows the world of cryptocurrency now more and more public figures who plunge into the world of cryptocurrency like paris hilton.
this will be more interesting because ico will be better known public because of the appeal of the public figure.

Crypto world don't need Paris Hilton!!!
We need Kim Kardashian bro! :)

That was spreading the word of the crypto currency but not at all, I meant in other words a lot of the negatively about such campaign by the artist shouldn't be considered as a good promotion.
You can try to see the retweet on that thing.

Some would think it's a joke, but Paris is a good business woman. She supports LydianCoin, from a company called Gravity4. I have not heard of this company. Is it an Indian company? Still I think ETH is at the top now and I do not think it will come down

Why not, if it can make the crypto world known by the general public.. ;D

i have shock when first i see Trump ICO i was think this is real , and then i read paris hilton buy some coin , damn , in future i will see Hilton ICO or Hilton coin , hehehehehe ;D :D

Thought the Paris comment was a joke ... up next, Kim Kardashian launches her own ICO.
 
(I guess a Twitter post sounds so much more convincing when it says #ThisIsNotAnAd ... not).
