I think that there is no magic formula for promotion... this period is very bad for all ICO and also for good project is hard to reach softcap. I think that the best way to attract investors is to have really innovative ideas.
You have to do constructive posts of posting original and interesting news or make some good works like bounty campaings spreadsheet... it's not easy to gain merit man..
I'm not sure that Cardano could replace Ethereum in longterm, even if Eth is in big crysis because of Bad conditions of ICO market....however I don't think that Cardano really could replace Eth because community is smaller and also adoption is not comparable to Eth actually
I think that if you invest in top10 altcoins you can do both... prices are very low so if market will rise again you can make short term profits and maybe sell just part of your gains and hold the other part for long term investment.
While in 2018 I usually chose to invest in ICO if I believed in that project, I think that now period is too bad and uncertain so I'm staying away and wait for exchange listing even if I believe in a project.
I think that it's very hard to compete to consolidated and old project for new ICO.... the main problem is the lack of trust that investors actually have...so even if a project has good ideas it's not easy to make them spread in crypto community.
I agree with you... the only KYC that I have not problem to accept is one managed by a third part APP like CIVIC or ONFIDO.. I don't like to send my data to perfect strangers..
Yes I received many tokens that were locked for months....it's not a problem for me.. this is a very bad period for ICO so I'm happy if I receive tokens even if they are locked..
I think that promotion is not enough in this bad period...the main problem is not the promotion but the fact that investors lost faith in ICO projects and on the other hand there are too few projects that are really interesting and innovative.
Personally I continue to accumulate positions only in top 10 coins, there are too many coins but I think that only the ones with good market capitalization can really survive in long term
Yes, most of ICO are scam and the other 20% of them probably will have a price dumped at least by half when traded no exchanges... personally I stay out from ICO market in this period.
I'm not so confident that DASH and other privacy coin will rise again soon.. take a look at Monero Ban from USA for example... privacy coin are not well viewed from countries and institutions...
I'm not against KYC in absolute but I don't like when KYC is performed by the same company because if it reveals a scam someone will have my data... I prefer doing KYC with third part apps like CIVIC for example...
