ICO has caught mainstream media attention in China. Reports with shocking title emerge every day. Southern Weekly, a traditional media famous for in-depth report, released a story about ICO titled: ICO hinges on the confidence of Jiucai(newbie investors) instead of technical development.

There is no question that we are seeing a great tide of so many ICOs for this year and there can be more on the offing. I am not against the use of regulations with the aim to protect small investors of their hard-earned money as long as there would be no outright ban of the platform.

The ICO platform can be a good way to raise funds for legitimate business and ideas but because it is very much unregulated it can also mean an avenue for many scammers and those who are just there for some easy money to flourish. All of these things have to be balanced if we want to see this platform mature and be of big help for many business entities to raise funds.

Most ICOs are simply cheating money, look at how many newbies in this form are doing "ICOs". Sure Chinese people are trying desperately hiding some of the obscure money and cybercoin is a good place to go.
