Do you expect Japan's ICO?
(For example ALIS or comsa)
Do you participate? ???

what?

I anticipate them whith great excitment. There are a lot of facts say they would be successfull. The main one is legitimness of crypto in Japan ofc. I will participate!

You are right, Bitcoin in japan has been recognized and legalized. I think it's great to have ICO there. I am equal to you to appreciate and enthusiastic if the Project is held.

Also Japan might never ban ICOs just like how Chinese have banned it overnight. Don't have any deep knowledge on political situation in Japan but I believe they love innovation and technology rather than financial gain.

Are you talking about ICO for NEO (chinese ethereum) like token ? Yes I will participate...are there any out there right now?

japan are gonna have to do something regulation wise about icos. they've permitted regular cryptos but this is a whole different ball game.

it would be stupid of them to regulate bitcoin and permit icos to run riot.

Comsa platform for creating ICOs is coming in October.As we know it is fully developed by Japan Tech Buro. As Neo was developed by China team.

 I do not think that Japan could ban ICOs as in China when NEO launched as platform to create new ICOs.

But regulation could come. We will see. I am definetly in.

There are so many ICO's these days, its enough to make your head spin.

I remember earlier in the year cryptos all got a massive boost on the back of news that Japan was recognising bitcoin as a legal currency, seems like one of the safest bets for investments in the crypto world, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on interesting projects coming out of Japan.

Comsa is related to NEM. If I am right it is a ICO platform created by TechBureau Inc. which also builds the private blockchain tech Catapult based on NEM blockchain. All information I have gathered so far sounds very promising. ICOs will survice and they have a special standing in Asia. Most ICOs have been conducted in Asian region so far. It is a multi billion dollar business and Comsa is a serious project to professionalize ICOs.

I am sure that in the near future Japan will launch ICO in its country. Given the hard work of the Japanese and their honesty and decency in business, I am also confident that all their coins will be useful to people and successful. Given that now Japan is taking the leading position on the use of crypto currency instead of self-excised China, this will happen quite soon. If I see the Japanese ICO, I will definitely participate in them.

Japan's approach to bitcoin is clearly quite different. They've already almost legalized crypto so they won't just ban ICOs suddenly as what happened in China.

I'm sure they won't let them run openly as they want as well. Since Japanese like to innovate and are always interested in finding the best solutions, I guess they'd apply certain regulations on any ICO that's going to run and if an ICO doesn't follow it'd be shut down.


Yeah of course why not ? Man we've invested in tons of ICOs, this won't be bad at all (considering that it will be under some laws.)

I also like Comsa. The only thing I don't like their ICO is that it's uncapped, which means they can technically raised unlimited money and be overvalued. Plus the ICO campaign is over 1 month. I'm not going to rush to buy Comsa. I will wait and see if it's overvalued. Just my 2 cents.

They may not be very interested in ICO, they are very interested in science technology.
Everyone here beharap more people who are interested in cryptocurrency either japan or other countries

Most likely Japan ICO would be only for Japan. Japanese mindset arent targeting for global scale they tend to seclude it only for their country.

I think i'll participate especially in a country that has already accepted and legalized bitcoin im sure if someone there actually starts an ICO the chances of it's success is very high with all the crypto enthusiast there as long as that the devs dont run away with and prove that they are trustworthy that would increase the reputation of ICO's and more investors will start to get attracted by it.

LOL make our head spin, correct, CHina ban ICOs but ICos are still growing. Japan Ban ICOs , Korea Ban ICOs and what country want to ban ICOs again, look at the ann page there are more than one ICO announced everyday. Who can ban ICOs. If there is still bitcointalk site ICOs will move on to new way from banning. Sure ICos make my head spin.

although the crypto currency has been legalized in Japan but their citizens know little so will not globally affect the regulation in japan but for ico project made in japan can be as good as their regulations support it.

That's only a month away... but why a platform for creating ICOs? That seems like a terribly bad idea. I mean, there are enough copy and paste ICOs out there. Do we really want to make it even easier for scammers to create ICOs?

Japan will never take such draconian moves. How can they, when their government keeps shifting policy? Regulation, yes. Hopefully, sooner than we think.

The ICO from Japan that I know is synchrolife (syc), and this is legalized in japan, I want them to maintain the momentum of the effects happening in China, the Japan claim now holds the best volume market but will soon disappear if they can not keep it up with innovation , from 2 ICO that OP mentioned current means i only know about 3 ICO come from japan.

As the friendly country for the cryptocurrency and it can be determined as the best place to run the ico project, But i'm not sure to participate in the both of project due to these icos have not made me interested with it.

Currently I Man not having any plan to participate in any Ico after some time things get settle down I will invest in ico even my contribution is small every time. Comsa looks promising in recent time ico list

Are you saying if Japan will run an ICO I will participate? Yes definitely I'm going to participate that ICO. We know Japan is one of the best supporter of crypto currency and bitcoin. After the news about their adoption the price went up rapidly so if they will ever run and host an ICO for sure many investors are going to participate as Japan is one of the most known and great countries in the crypto world.

The ICOs in Japan, ALIS for social-media , COMSA a platform for business solution. For me, i would like to particpate in COMSA because it has a good business intention like bridging the gap of the enterprise platform of this well known blockchain the BITCOIN, ETHEREUM and NEM thru their mejin integration solution. COMSA has a lot of potential compared to ALIS where social-media platform was a commonplace for ICO.

Japan may be good for us, we should invest more good project like Cosma, they like bitcoin and ICO.

I think COMSA will be a huge ICO and in a long term is a great investment.

Sure. BTW I like their token buy back burning strategy. It's clearly mentioned at whitepaper. This is very smart decision for the token price. I think nobody will hesitate that comsa is a legit non-scam ico.

If you want to invest into ICO projects from Japan, I know COMSA is one of best project from this country. But it does not use Ethereum platform, it uses NEM platform to develop. 8)

Considering that Japan is paving the way with real life application for BTC I can see the industry going in a positive way. But yeah hopefully they sensibly regulate their ICO market i.e. making sure that there is a minimum standard for these companies

Comsa, it sounds interesting, ICO solutions for a centralized business to adopt blockchain technology. but I think there are many projects with this concept, but dont doubt the ability of Japanese people to do something, just look at the western people adopting many business strategies from japan.

Cosmos is actually a nice project backed by a great team. I know people who know the team and they are only but praises for them. I will personally be investing into this. Cosmos has the potential to become huge in Japan and can further support new projects over its framwork. Bullish on this one for sure!

Japan is one of the most regulated countries on earth:

Good luck with escaping the regulation of securities:

All the G20 nations (even India!) already have securities regulation laws and it’s just a matter of when they decide to start enforcing them on ICOs and putting people in jail. It’s coming…

All those participating in ICOs and trading in ICO issued tokens are potentially culpable, not just the issuers.


Fundamentally and insolubly flawed:

https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos/issues/46

I think it is a legal ico, hopefully ico is always there and can be a job for us,
we'll see for a few more years

I expect ALIS.
Since COMSA is unknown number of issued tokens, I think that value is hard to rise. :-\

With support from the Japanese community, Cosma is sure to be a good project this year. I think if we invest long term in this project then surely we will get a lot more profit.

Japan will be replace China in crypto world soon. So if Japan trader invest to ICO more will be awesome

I really enjoy to see Japan's interest over cryptocurrencies. I think there will be lot more successful icos and even new exchanges are going to be created in Japan. Japanese people have high reputation about their business.

Yes I will participate positively. There's nothing wrong about the idea. Japan also has a background in cryptocurrency. And if Japan replace China, that would be a big opportunity for everyone.

This a good news for everyone.If japan open ICO then all altcoin will price can grow.I like COSMA.Because it is business solution platfrom.I would agree to participate in COSMA. 

In the bitcoin field Everything is possible .
As bitcoin is officially legal to use in the Japan , so we can expect everything there .
Since bitcoin is legal but still we should participate or not will depend upon our condition
 of mind that what we are thinking and seeing in the ICOs , whether is better or not .
Because ICOs availability Should be anywhere , doesn't matter .
And matters the thing is what is concept of the coin's ICO , whether is looking legit or not .
Or they are only making marketing only .
Here i myself never participate in any type of the ICOs until make myself sure that project us better to invest .

I was trying to find out why promotion of ICO in Japan is so Successful?
And got this answer: People are exchanging their Bitcoin to other Cryptocurrencies.

In a recent survey in Japan, it was reported that 2.7% of the population (3.4 Million) had purchased Bitcoin in the past and 2% are still holding it.
