Keep the jokes coming. Just make sure you do your research on all these teams looking for your BTC.

I'm not mentioning names but one team was stealing identities for their board members. Glad to see that 'some' guys on here don't just drop BTC on everyone who asks.

[BellaBitBit]

Very true.  Everyone stay vigilant and remember that people will do whatever they can to get your bitcoins before the halving and in general.  This is not to say there are not some good altcoins out there that have been around awhile and have good dev teams.  Make sure the coins is not heavily premined.  On coinmarketcap you can clearly see which coins are because they will have an asterisk next to them.

Yes these are a nasty plague  

But they are called "Angel Investing" coins LOL
..or "Crowd Funding"  
AKA: Digital Pyramid Scheme

Don't forget that these coins are worthless and don't exist.
Unlike say Gold that can be melted down to make Clit Rings and Nipple Piercings  

I should IPO me a coin "Tatoo Coin" with new "Proof of Tatoo" algo.
Anyone that gets a tatoo with my name in it gets 1 coin.. who's in ?
If these douche bags thought they could make a bunch of Bitcoin from it they would do it LOL

BatCoin will be made maybe too.. "Proof of Hit Yourself in the Head with a Bat" algo coming soon..
..these Greediots will be all over it like a fly on shit!
smack.. smack.. smack ..am i doing it right Spoetnik? uhhh duhh derpty derp .. caen i haez my BTC now'z ??

Bitcoin is so 2000 & late ..it's "Grandpa's Coin"  
Buy Ethereum and have "Bro coin" !

Which of these ICO/crowdsales you think I should stay clear of?

[sakinaka]

What I regret now is to don't have participated in all those ICOs. I'm sure that everyone who participated in the Lisk ICO or in the IOTA ICO will see great returns !

you mean this thread is misleading 

IOTA is already selling 30 times or so.
I  missed the fun too.

I'm not saying steer clear of any, I'm just saying that people need to do proper research before buying in.

I've got a feeling that scammers can see people thirsting for ICO (or Crowdsale as they're known nowadays) and are planning their 'multiple' Crypto 2.0 platform offerings. Swish websites with the obligatory ICO site required as well. It just seems all too easy right now.

Previously a scammer could make up to 100BTC, in this environment they could make up to 1000BTC. Easy. Just offer Day 1 bonus.

For the record, I have nothing against ETH, LISK or IOTA and other legit alts.

Just be careful and look out for that sucker punch. This won't go on forever.

[StinkyLover]

I'm all for the free market but has anybody actually received 1 IOTA yet?? At the moment it's all just promissory notes everywhere with escrows (for the wise ones that is - others have already handed over BTC before receiving anything at all). On launch date all those promissory notes might not be honoured if the seller wants to hold onto their IOTA and catch a wave to 'Da Moon'.

It's all good but people seem a little bit crazy right now.

Low hanging fruit.

[StinkyLover]

Amazing...

[NUFCrichard]

I am not convinced that these are scams from the beginning, rather they are sometimes decent people who realise that they have millions of dollars deposited in their account, and that they are fairly anonymous and can simply up and run.

It must be hard when money is sat their ready to be stolen, not to steal it!  Especially if they start out with the intent of not premining or making a good profit out of their coin. They either end up with a successful coin and no money, or run and take the millions.

Yes, PRISM is a definite one to avoid.
Opinions about LISK?

And that's precisely the feeling that drove a lot of scams back in 2014. A different kind of FOMO: Fear Of Missed Out.

Take it from me: ICO fever is the kind of demand that a scammer interprets as a 'demand' to be suckered. I had to learn this the hard way, hopefully so you don't have to.

[doc12]

Yeah kinda feels like the next shitcoin wave is rolling in. 

One thing is for sure (at least for me): At the end there will be one winner and thats Bitcoin of course  Dont give your precious BTC to scammers. 

[tintumon]

Whats your opinions about investing in WAVES?

Are you keeping the signature for free coins just like me, or do you really believe in this project?

[doc12]

It looks like a interesting project and if i cant get some free coins ... why not. Maybe I buy some later, but not in the ICO.
