I've noticed many ICOs have to spend a lot of money on promotions and advertising.
For example, let's say an ICO raises 10 million dollars but has to spend 9 million on promotion.
Therefore, they only really raised 1 million for the project.
Isn't this unethical?
If you're starting a company and looking for investors the traditional way via stock equity, you would never spend 9 million or even 5 million or even 2 million in order to raise 10 million from investors.
This begs the question, what ratio of promotion cost versus funds raised for ICOs is ethical?
And how do we know if an ICO is using an ethical ratio?
I just want to know where you gather information like you say? we know that ico requires and is big for every marketing plan and management. but I think what you say is not right, because surely the developer has a team to interpret each expenditure and income in a project. |

ETH is on a bull run and suddenly Bitcoin fallen and pull ETH followed it, now do you guy think that it’s still possible for ETH to reach $200 when the upgrade come?
I think it can current eth prices are 160 $ and it is not impossible to break up to 200 $ for the next few weeks depending on the market pattern. but in my opinion this can be counted on in trading lively or doing daily trading. yes because I trade on local exchanges with fiat currencies. |

NOPE I say - they are ALIVE! Yeah you hear me right! They are ALIVE because they can no longer sleep on one ear knowing funds will come in regardless They are ALIVE because they focus on building the technology They are ALIVE because the market requires this We are going through a maturing phase - the strong will survive and they will deliver. No one will remember the ones who quit - no matter how strong they presented themselves to be People will remember the ones who stayed and delivered. I am part of the www.elrond.com team Our prototype is now opensource and very soon we will deliver the first version of the testnet. https://topicolist.com/elrond-network/https://icodog.io/ico-review/elrond-network-2/Give me a shout if you want to find our more about us  I believe everything will be replaced by time. now there are many ico that really fail in terms of price after entering the exchange, scam and ico that really do not run like the white paper they pour. I'm not pessimistic but this is a fact. I think the market will recover but not with ico, it is likely that ico will be replaced and currently there is something better than ico, EIO |

When you have fund for investment project,what will you choose your investment for now.ICO or IEO project for get profit crypto invesment project.many ICO project this year failed when they launch ico token sale.what Will IEO to be next future of project investment?
currently the IEO is a better alternative than investing in ico who have a high enough risk. but I think that is the same thing we cannot prove for sure however the conditions and market turnover are very influential in this industry. so I think the IEO and ICO don't have a fundamental difference |

With recent events in crypto currency trades since January 2019, I have learnt to cash out
Crypto currency long term hodl is very good and rewarding no doubts
But we are at a stage where crypto is formed by whales and the money controllers
With the persistent pump and dumps by the whales; crypto is like a game at the moment
I think it is currently quite difficult to find crypto that can benefit from long investments. there are thousands of alt trades so not all will grow tall even I believe some alt will be the new shitcoin that the developer left behind. so if for a long investment I think the wisest is the altcoin top |

A lot of projects are going on blockchain and new cryptocurrencies are being launched day by day but when can we actually see them floating in real market for real use cases like buying a cigarette or bread? is it possible?
that's the problem for us crypto users there are many ideas and technologies that are carried by ico and so are the benefits for the use of daily life, as you say. but I do not see what really works as it is written on white paper. in my opinion, only a few can be implemented and even then it will take a long time |

Am I just lucky or was it because I'm more careful when picking airdrops? Many are complaining about airdrops been shitcoins or worthless but my own story is plain different,even when I blindly joined airdrop in 2018 im still able to make few good money out of airdrops
1)i make 100$ plus from MTC airdrop, I was given 400tokens and I sold on bitcnia, MTC coin is a Korean project and I was shocked how it manages to keep price at 0.30plus even in bear market
2)another one is originalmy ,a Brazil based project and I did make 70$ worth of tokens and I'm able to sell off too
3)was Apollo currency airdrop, I earned 23,000 pieces and able to sell at 0.0023 which was 53$
And many more, I don't know why people are complaining about airdrops, they arent that bad as stated
in my opinion, until now there have been many campaigns that were not even profitable at all compared to 2017 when I started joining. so chances are there isn't much airdrop that can be profitable. so you are very lucky if you benefit from the amount of airdrop |

Hey guys. As the title suggests, i've a question to the presale Investors. Do you invest in Presales? What do you research first in order to invest? What makes the project interesting and worth investing? I ask all the investors, what makes a coin Perfect!?! A working platform? Active devs? or do you guys see something else too? Please let me know, i'm really keen to know such stuff before becoming an investor myself. Thanks. I think experience and knowledge will membingbing you on the speculation that you will do in the investment of ico, and of course all have a considerable level of risk. even ico is more at risk of getting a loss than trading on the stock exchange. I think as a whole it must be seen from all aspects of the ico. ideas, technology or the like that really can be a convincing selling power grow high in the next few years. that's investment |

Stop investing (investors) or promoting (bounty hunters) projects requesting ridiculous amount of money just to build some silly application... it's just outrageous 90% of these kind of projects later Play an exit scam on investors
I think yes, right now that's how it is most ico only collect funds from investors and then go somewhere without caring about the development of the altcoin they have developed. this is the risk of this industry without any regulation that can be a legal umbrella for investors and prevention of ico scam |

Market is day by going below in Altcoin.If i buy some Altcoin now for long time hold what type of coin can buy? please give me suggestion of experts about trader. there are many options for buying cheap altcoins but I think the risk is big enough especially for shitcoin that will never grow again. because there are a lot of chitcoin at the moment. so in my opinion the best is to buy 10 top altcoins if you want to invest or trade |

I see that the crypto world is developing very fast, including bitcoin. And also with the entry of technology and breakthrough breakthroughs, especially in the ICO project. But my question is whether it would be good if there were still many people who were reluctant to develop and increase their knowledge too and still depend on the opinions and predictions of others?
In my heart I say that is not true. What about your point of view?
I think that's a matter of perspective there are various responses out there for the crypto industry and every development includes the effects of the adverse effects of many ico scams. this makes many people reluctant to get involved in the crypto industry including bitcoin |

Good afternoon everyone, I want to greet everyone here. April is almost over, do you still have plans to invest in cryptocurrency in Quartal 2? What coins are suitable for investing? I want to hear your opinion, and I will make it a reference. Thank you very much for your attention.
I think it is very risky to invest at this time, because the market has not been confirmed to be truly recovering and will grow. but I trade daily, and this is enough to make me make a profit even if it's not big. so my advice is that you should look for more new information before making investment speculation for now. |

2019 has been a year with mixed feelings for crypto enthusiasts. A lot of bounty hunters have now switched over to trading, because bounty is longer profitable.
Some that have combined the two (both bounty and trading), while larger percentage are still into bounty, despite not being profitable.
I envisage that in two to three years to this time, the population of people on bounty will reduce drastically, because it will no longer be profitable as it used to be.
currently there are many campaigns that are really bad even to the point of not distributing them to date. so, the bounty might end soon. I trade daily to survive in this industry even though it is quite difficult to generate profits |

Binance operates its licence in Malta. So why should that affect it? With its innovation and security, I don't think Wright's whining will do it any harm. BTW, if push comes to shove the American customers might be asked to withdraw their patronage and that won't shake the exchange an inch. Binance is a strong viable exchange. I don't have any worries about them.
I think Wright's is once again trying to influence the crypto market with some whining. and I agree with you, bincane has been tested quite strongly in crypto trading. so I don't think it will have a big impact if what the OP says will happen |

If you haven't already sold your ALTs simply hold if your project is decent. If the project has no future sell and buy into a decent project. This is all you can do to recover your loss without putting in more money. It will probably take a couple of years to recover your loss!
Some ALTs will never recover from this crash!
It is an ugly situation!
yes that's how it should be however the current situation is very difficult to ensure which alt really has the potential to grow in the future or in the next few years. especially on every new project. I chose to exchange it for the top 10 altcoins, this could prevent huge losses in the future |

More and more Project are not paying Us bounty hunters for are work example of that 👉 ATHERO this project fooled us keep saying dates of distribution, is their any way to get even with this Scammers or is their any way to get them reported so that people will see what they really are?
I'm still waiting for distribution for the ATHERO campaign. a few months ago I saw them scheduled this April. but until now this has not been done by a team or developer. I think we should try to discuss in the campaign bounty threads or be telegramed to make sure |

Everyone keeps saying 2019 will be profitable for the crypto community... but in life I've had to learn things the hard way.. which makes me always want to look into things in 2 ways no matter the odds
What if 2019 is the beginning of another dump?? What would you do as a investor?? Wait till your portfolio goes to zero?? ... or sell whatever is left of it??
this is a dilemma it's very difficult to speculate, especially every token or altcoin that we have is no longer worth selling. just look, every day I check my wallet nothing can be sold. so there is no other word than to wait and hold until the time can be sold |

KYC can be complicated and at times unnecessary especially for small airdrops.
What do you think?
I am not really sure that KYC is really needed for bounty hunters, if you look at it from a legal standpoint. maybe for investors it can be a legal umbrella as often said by an ico team. and especially for aidrop programs, which sometimes share tokens that have no sale value of more than 5 $ |

I have a computer constantly connected to the network with free electricity. Of course, I could mine, but I have outdated hardware + I don't like the idea of meaningless calculations.
I want, without investing my own funds, to support the ecosystem of any coin and receive currency for it. For example, my computer can contain the entire blockchain, verifying the history and current operations, saving the network from an attack of 51%.
Please, tell me about similar coins.
First, you must have expertise in this industry. You have to know, without investing with money, you can't get something that makes money. unless you have the ability and expertise that can make money. and you have to explore and research it from now on |
