Interactive Investor just published an in depth article about our upcoming ICO project. They're a mainstream investment platform, so it's pretty cool that they're starting to take notice of ICOs. Here's the article:

what does it "Mainstream Investors" mean?

did the previous ICO were created by non-mainstream investors?

so again, how to actuall define mainstream investors?

"mainstream investors" = jumping on a investment train with usually no own brain or own research done, helping to pump or dumb the value of something....?


@LakeBTC <<< 2 links - was reading them. Good luck for your ico!

More weak hands for the pumps&dumps.

Bring it on  ;D

I think the biggest roadblock is that many of the altcoins are too complicated, and dont even get traded at most places often. If that gets fixed i expect a huge bump to altcoins.

No, Not really.

just some Chinese people jumping on the pump and dump train to make profit from trading is far from "mainstream" investors coming in altcoins and specially ICOs for investment. i could see them investing in altcoins but never in ICOs. the mainstream investors know better than trusting ICOs even if there are 1 in a million good ones.

and we all know that Chinese have always been big investors that milk any opportunity to trade as much as they can until it is dry and they have made alot of money from its pump and dump.

Which one of them are complicated? If you're investing you need to read white paper and then you'll be know everything about this project

It's an overgeneralisation to say that all Chinese projects are just pump and dump. Although that is a big problem here for sure.

LakeBTC has been around since 2013. We're one of the world's leading crypto exhanges and we have an impeccable repuation for reliability and security. We don't plan to jepordise that by running a dodgey ICO. We're a serious business.

The LakeBanker system that we're offering an ICO has been operating for 1.5 years---it already generates revenue. Despite being headquartered in China, we're really an international firm. Our team, corporate partners and customers come from all over the world.

The author of that article did a lot of due dilligence our proposed ICO. I recommend actually reading some materials and some history of a project before just assuming the worst. Our Whitepaper is here (https://lakebanker.com/whitepaper.pdf) if you'd like to know more.
