This is basically lending money rephrased and replaced with the more innocuous "investing money" which would be a safe way to avoid risking a splash of red paint.
What kind of collateral do you have in mind? Investing in an ICO is akin to lending you money. It's basically borrowing money while dressed in a business suit and discussing roadmaps and whitepapers rather than repayment terms and interest.
When boiled down to the last drop, it still has all the colors of a loan. And loans are supposed to be secured with ample and valid collateral.
The collateral is there in the event of a "what if this project fails" scenario and also to guarantee the return of the investment.
Or is this an invitation to gamble funds in this ICO?
First of all slow clap for the emotional rant
Since I couldn't find a subsection where I could find Investors I chose to post here. If there's a group then I would like to be pointed to that section.
I would suggest going through our proposal. You are welcome to read the entire material and ask for more information if needed. You will be given tokens for the money invested.
