In all honesty i think as regulations start to grow on the industry i sadly believe we'll see more ICO's or at least pre-ICO's moving towards larger entries of several thousand dollars worth of entry, though I know most teams like crom are working to try to make it so that smaller investors can find a way in at as early as possible which i appreciate.
I agree with you, the most favorable conditions always go to those who have a thick wallet. A large number of investors is good for the project. This forms a strong community.
