The Waves platform itself is really great and so easy to launch your own token, but it does fall down in the fact that there is no simple way to bulk distribute (airdrop) the tokens yourself.  This I believe is their biggest downside and when they address this it could go huge and get a ton of marketing.

Wouldn't the whole financial system itself be vulnerable to Quantum computing.  After all, the FIAT currencies are just numbers in a computer and if quantum computers can crack any cryptography instantly doesn't that make any networked computer an open book? 

So when quantum computing is sufficiently advanced everything that is secured is crackable so I wouldn't be too worried about Cryptos as I am sure that the central banks of the world will be rushing to find a workaround which we can usurp.

This is definitely going to hurt up and coming ICOs as FB is a major part of any ICOs marketing arsenal.  There are other platforms, but none as targeted as FB

The biggest issue you will come up against is the banking side of things.  Getting out that much FIAT is not as easy as you would imagine and you need FIAT to buy and manage property.

What is your opinion on Facebook banning crypto adverts?  Do you think its going to negatively affect people's ability to market their ICOs effectively?

I'm really looking forward to this.  I think it's going to sell out super fast and the price could keep going up and up over the medium - long term

Who is the "we" you refer to in your post?  You just registered to say that, so it's your first post.  A newbie who slates off newbies writing dumb posts with a dumb post is....

I don't think people realise the significance of this exchange.  There are MAJOR whales out there who could not or would not invest in ICOs up until now because of the lack of regulation.  Now the floodgates can open to some SERIOUS money.  Watch this one go to the moon as ALL the serious ICOs will want to list here and get in on the institutional tidal wave of money that is going to pour in.

You are mistaken when thinking that BTC price will drop in proportion to the unbacked Tether used to buy.  It will fall MUCH harder than that.  The market doesn't move in that way, it isn't money in money out it's about sentiment, liquidity and volume.  If the Tether fraud is actually true then BTC is going to go into freefall unfortunately.  It is also not possible to accurately predict the bottom.  The knock on effect could be catastrophic in the short term as it opens the possibility that any and all crypto coins and tokens are severely manipulated.

Long term it is advantageous because it forces people to look deeply into what they are investing in and do heavy due diligence into everything.

I agree.  Use MEW and Metamask together. A kick ass combination and using metamask makes everything much more secure.  My advice is DO NOT log directly into MEW with your private key as this could bring security risks if you are not careful

Anyone who is considering this ICO I would very much advise you to stay clear.  They put up a "team" on their website and when I called out that the team was actually "stolen" from another ICOs website they removed the team from their site.  A definite scam.  I advise anyone to stay VERY clear of this.

Lets see what happens with Tether.  If, by some miracle, they aren't just one big scam then I think Bitcoin will rebound FAST and HARD.  But to the contrary and there will be a world of pain for lots of people.

BTW my guess is the one with the whitepaper and legit looking website

Either your "team" is very busy with 2 simultaneous ICOs or one of you has lifted details from the others website https://www.e-pocket.com.au/

I'm pretty sure I can guess which did it.

Where is all the information for your pre-ico?  I don't see any information about the team, whitepaper, model etc. and a lot of the links on your site are broken.

It's amazing how easily and quickly the Japanese seem to embrace new technology and then fit it into their daily lives.  We seem to be years behind in the west and constantly paying catchup.

It is extremely worrying what is going on with Tether in the short term, but I doubt it's going to stop ICOs or hurt bitcoin's viability in the longer term.  If it turns out that Tether was just one big scam then it's going to make it harder for people to scam with fake ICOs in the future as it will put people on their toes and will want much more transparency before investing.
