Thanks for the feedback, definitely will check out Spectiv

Have a look at our comprehensive list https://urbancrypto.com/upcoming-icos/

I would just say that if you are investing in ICOs, spread around, don't bet big on any one.  The odds are that some will be successful.

I agree, why do you need 400 million potentially, when you haven't even started the project.  Raise 100 million (which is crazy anyway) and start development and do a second ICO.  I don't know, that makes more sense to me.

I have reached out to the EOS team, good luck to me trying to get a response :-)

As I began researching the Presearch project and their upcoming ICO, I went to the same place I always do, the whitepaper. As I began reading through it I was a bit captivated as the issue they are attempting to address is probably one that all of us are concerned about, The King, Google.

I am looking forward to writing a full profile of Presearch and their upcoming ICO, but I feel a need to put a few words out there now. This is definitely something you should look into further and form your own opinion.

Why Create the Presearch Project

I think a lot of us are concerned with the dominance of Google, as a search engine. Google directs us through many of our everyday life needs, endeavors and much more. Needless to say that Google, along with their ownership of Youtube and their Gmail platform knows, if I may say, more about us than we do. How does Google use that information? Are they truly guiding us through the web to the places that are for our benefit first or theirs? Google controls 77% of all search traffic and it is a little scary.

The whitepaper explains how the internet was originally created to be a decentralized platform for users to interact. Even more so Google with its ‘do no evil’ mantra, Google built an unprecedented degree of trust with users. I will leave you with a quote from the whitepaper which I apologize is longer than I would like, but I think raises a real issue. I will have my complete profile on the Presearch project done in a couple of days and look forward to your opinion.

“While there are a number of alternative search engines, Yahoo / Bing and Baidu being the largest, and a number of smaller engines such as DuckDuckGo, YaCy (peer 2 peer), Gigablast and others, there is little usage and innovation (except maybe DuckDuckGo), and Google dominates search.

Currently, for 77% of all trips onto this highway, everyone is squeezing through a single ramp. This extreme degree of centralization has had two main negative effects:

The ‘stops’ along the highway: content producers, webmasters, marketers and businesses, organizations, etc., are all extremely crowded alongside that ramp, fighting to be seen, paying more than $50 billion per year for scraps of attention.

Those who control the single on-ramp are in a position of extreme power and privilege as the directors of traffic and have the ability to increasingly lock in their position, ensuring their ultimate long-term dominance.

Having one company in this position of extreme power is particularly troublesome because it enables them to operate in a very opaque, top-down, almost-oligarchical manner.

With great power comes great responsibility; a responsible gatekeeper would recognize the need to be continually more accountable, open and provably fair.

Unfortunately, Google appears to be abdicating their responsibility as the primary gatekeeper of the Internet by becoming increasingly secretive and taking few steps to become more transparent, 9 10 11 despite having more than 15 years as the dominant search engine and billions of dollars in capital. They default to ‘just trust us’ messaging in place of processes, information, and communication and hide behind their algorithm, justifying their secrecy by blaming hackers and spammers who would take advantage of any information they share.”

Look for our profile on https://urbancrypto.com/

I am trying to figure out what my thoughts about the EOS ICO are. Initially, I truly did not understand why people would invest in the project when there were so many disclaimers to the ICO and no product yet in existence.

I wrote two controversial posts on the subject which I will include below. After my initial posts I did more research and watched some of the interviews and presentations of the management team of EOS and it was clear to me that they have a lot more knowledge about the blockchain than I do and have a good track record.

The EOS ICO raised $185 million dollars in the first 5 days and is on track for numbers nobody could imagine. I would have to say that the marketplace is saying that I am an idiot :-).

I guess only time will tell who gains the most from the EOS ICO.

What are your thoughts?

As you know, here at Urban Crypto I follow the progress of various ICOs. At the end of each day, I produce an ICO Update that goes out to our readers with a summary of total contributions and other data.

What I have started to notice is that the total number of contributions may rise but the money collected dropped. We all know that this is because the price of ETH has taken a severe beating lately losing over 40% from its highs.

There are a few issues related to this that I want to address namely, what affect does the drop of ETH have on the ICO itself, what affect does it have on the value of your investment and finally, what causes the huge volatility in the ETH price daily.

ETH Volatility and ICOs

As I mentioned above, one of the questions to be asked is what effect does the ETH Volatility have on the companies running ICOs during the downfall. I contacted the CEO and COO of one of the ICOs I am following and asked for their perspective on the value of the ETH they have collected, which is locked in escrow until the end of the ICO, and the fact that the total dollars fluctuate so much. One day they could collect 100ETH at a value of $350 per ETH just to see it be worth $278 the next. How does one deal with such issues when running an ICO.

The response from the management of that team was pretty straight forward. Dealing in cryptocurrencies and using them as a medium of collecting money in an ICO is a known risk that must be accounted for before a company launches their ICO. He suggests that with the known volatility of cryptocurrencies and ETH especially you should never make you cap at the amount you truly need to launch your business. He suggests raising your cap higher than what you need for essential progress and success to 1.25 to 1.5 times that amount. Unfortunately, ETH Volatility is part of the game.

ETH Volatility and Contributors

An even more interesting question is what effect does the ETH volatility have on you as a contributor to an ICO. If you contribute at one rate and the value changes, your investment value can change dramatically in value as the money held by the company has changed. Obviously this can go both ways but lately, we all know that ETH has been heading in one direction only.

That being said, the tide can turn any day. I will give you an example. I introduced my father-in-law to the idea of Bitcoin when it was trading at around $600. He asked me to send him information on how to buy some as he thought it interesting. It seems that I forgot to do this. When I saw him last month and BTC was over $2,500 he reminded me. I apologized of course but mentioned to him another opportunity. I introduced him to ETH on a Friday when it was trading around $240 I think. He said that after the weekend I should send him info on how to purchase. Well, low and behold by Monday ETH was at $360. Oh well, we thought. Look at it now, ETH trying to hold $200. So it can be seen that the tide turns both ways.

ETH Volatility – Where Does it Come From?

One may speculate as to the ETH Volatility and what causes it but I will just present my theory, and maybe it is obvious. With all the ICOs that are coming and raising hundreds of millions in ETH, there is a need for contributors to buy ETH to contribute. So they go to the market and pay for the ETH as the demand is stronger than the supply, the price goes up. The ICO raises massive amounts of money from the crowdsale in mainly ETH. Once the ETH is released from escrow, depending on the restrictions that may or may not be in the ICO details, the companies can now unload the vast majority of their ETH on the market causing the reverse effect as the supply is larger than the demand and the price drops. I know it sounds simple, and its just my thoughts but it seems to me that is what is happening. This has been especially harsh on the ETH Volatility lately as we have seen the largest ICOs in history between BVancoe, EOS and Tezos to name the biggest.

Is this something that needs to be addressed? Can it be addressed? I definitely do not have the answer, but I guess we will see if the cycle continues.

See more of our blog posts that we share here and on our site at https://urbancrypto.com/blog/

I would tend to agree with you regarding Bitcoin, my question is the AltCoins and the number of them, like the tech companies of the late 90s.

The ICO Dilemma: When I look at the marketplace for Initial Coin Offerings today, I see a plethora of upcoming and ongoing ICOs springing up all over the place. In general, the construct of our site is to list many of these ICOs for informational purposes with links to their site and whitepapers where available. That is the simple approach to these listings. For the ICOs that we find interesting for one reason or the other, whether it be the project details or the corporate structure we select them to write a profile about.

Now let us not be foolish, of course, we are in business to make money as well, not just a magnanimous friend to the possible contributor. At times we get asked to list ICOs and there may be a fee attached to that. But, we do not accept all ICOs to be on our site and this leads to the Dilemma.

Urban Crypto Simple Listing

When we list an ICO on our Upcoming Listing page here, we list numerous of the upcoming ICOs that are coming to the marketplace in the future. We do not receive compensation from most at this time, with a few exceptions. This is just to give you, the reader, a place to see a comprehensive list of Upcoming ICOs and a link or two for you to do your own research. We do not endorse any ICO nor encourage you to invest in them in any way, shape or fashion.
When we list an Ongoing ICO here, it is the same as the description above. You will notice, however, that there are some of these listings that we have marked as “Read More” and others that we have not.

Urban Crypto Company Profile Pages

For the ICOs that have their own profile page, we have found something that interests us or stands out and it is a project that we understand and feel that we can add value to you by summarizing what the project offers based on the information provided by the Company. We do not suggest that you invest in these ICOs but they may be worth further researching on your own. We give you a summary, you then decide if you want to read further on their website or whitepaper.

Urban Crypto’s ICO Dilemma

Now comes the hard part, which ICOs are worth writing a profile page about and which ones are not. To be sure there have been many successful ICOs in the recent past like Bancor, Tezos and EOS all raising tremendous amounts of money. I guess the first question is, is raising a lot of money a fair evaluation of an ICO? Shouldn’t the ultimate performance and return to contributors be the deciding factor?

That aside I am left again with the question of which ICOs to profile. I have some requirements that have to be met. The first is obviously that I have to understand the nature of the project that is being presented. I don’t feel like I have to understand the blockchain coding under the project, but rather the mechanics of, the purpose of and the value that the project brings to the need it is attempting to solve. My research starts with reading through all the information provided by the company via its website, whitepaper and other sources.

Once that has been established, the question is to write or not to write. Sometimes I find information in the documentation available confusing and concerning. EOS, which raised and is still raising significant amounts of money concerned me with all the disclaimers. Was this a successful ICO if they guarantee you nothing even if the project is a success. Let me state for the record, I am not saying not to invest in EOS, this is just my observation. Due to this concern, I chose not to write about it. Instead, I wrote a post on our blog explaining my concerns.

Now that there are so many ICOs coming out of the woodworks, the choice is endless. The ICO Dilemma continues, with limited resources, I have to choose wisely as to what ICOs to write about. I came across one recently that was really confusing and as I was preparing to write something, I couldn’t do it. It was the ICO for Digital Developers Fund. I will not disparage the company here but you can read the website and whitepaper and decide for yourself if this one makes any sense.

So the ICO dilemma continues and I will continue to attempt to bring you as much information regarding ICOs that seem interesting and legitimate as we move along. Wish me luck!!!

I have beeCrypto Manian pondering writing this post for some time and after another night of little sleep thinking of the Crypto Mania that is occurring, I felt that I had to get it off my chest  As the title explains, I would like to discuss both the Manic trend in Cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings.

As a disclaimer, I do not pretend to be an expert in either area, but when I write I attempt to give you the details as set forth with an objective outlook.  At no time do I endorse or suggest buying or selling any Cryptocurrency or Token

That being said, here I go.
 
Crypto Mania

We all know that there has been a large number of cryptocurrencies that have been launched since the advent of Bitcoin.  Some were built to mimic Bitcoin and other to improve on it.  To this point, bitcoin has no rivals, but there are contenders that may give it a ride for its money in the future.  That being said, I am not speaking to the merits of Dash coin itself when I tell you this story, but just the attitude of some investors.
On my recent trip to the United States, I went to visit an old roommate of mine who lives in Los Angeles.  He is currently a CPA but mostly works on investments in real estate and other markets.  We were sitting around a fire pit smoking Cuban cigars when he asked me what I did.  Normally when people ask me this question, I respond with the basic question,”Do you know what Bitcoin is?”  I start with this question because if I open with ana answer like, “I write about ICOs”, he probably would have no idea what I was talking about.

The conversation continued and this is when it became interesting.  I explained basically how Bitcoin was built on Blockchain Technology and that the technology was the interesting part, aside from all the merits of Bitcoin of course.  I gave him a basic explanation of Initial Coin Offerings.  He then asked me an interesting question.  “Have you heard of Dash Coin?”.  I answered that I had, but that I was in no way very knowledgeable about its working and couldn’t add much.  He mentioned to me that his partner’s wife was interested in becoming a master node for Dash to earn some money.

I asked him what he knew about Dash and Cryptocurrencies in general.  The answer was what I expected, “not much”.  So, I asked why he would invest in something that he didn’t know about or understand.  His reply is mainly what prompted this post.  He explained to me that when there is a wave on the way up, you join in and ride it.  That was it, no basic understanding, no fundamentals, just a wave.  Sounds like Mania to me.  I was stunned.  Here was an astute investor that wanted to invest in 1,000 Dash Coins (not knocking Dash, it could have been any cryptocurrency) because everyone else was doing it and making money.

He went so far as to put his “Crypto-Advisor” on the phone.  I had a similar conversation with him and was stunned.  His explanation basically was that he knew my friend had some discretionary income and this was a way to capitalize in the rise of cryptocurrencies.  I asked him why he would invest in something he didn’t know much about and he answered similarly to my friend.

It seemed to me that this “Advisor” wanted to make a play at the cryptocurrency market on my friend’s dime, lock up his money for the 1,000 Dash coins, hardware, and all other expenses because he had “discretionary funds”.  I told them that they were crazy, they were gambling and not investing. My friend explained to me that they were guaranteed an 11% return in the first year….  But what about the consideration that the price of Dash could crash?  What is 11% of nothing?  I am not sure but I think my input fell on deaf ears.

Crypto Mania Summary

Again, I want to emphasize that I am not knocking Dash at all, and it may be a wise decision for him to invest in becoming a master node but one thing was obvious to me, he had no idea what he was getting into.  It occurred to me that this must be the mentality of many of the new investors in cryptocurrencies, the ride the wave mentality.  It scares me a bit, because who will be left holding the bag if we are in for a Crypto Bubble.

You can see my post regarding the Crypto Bubble reminding me of the Tech Bubble here:
