For stablecoins to be used in ICOs (I agree they would be better) they need to be deployable on a smart contract and as far as I am aware there are none yet that do this. Will GC be the first?

Until Tether can prove themselves and these other ones can provide audits as to the amount they have behind, I won't believe in stablecoins. Another one just came out recently too called Haaven, but again I am on the fence yet.

We are responsible for those heavy pumps that ICO get when they are doing the fund raising. Yes it is eye watering when you see ICO making millions of dollars until their CEO sips the coffee at his desk. Once the money is in then they go party hard like its last of their life and they forget about the whitepaper that they have made or sometimes I feel like they just forget about the projects that they are been working on. Isnt that is ridiculous thing that happens all the time in the crypto currencies. However your concept does look nice after seeing that how Tether have made the opportunity for themselves by creating something great that can overcome the problems of stability or dependently volatility itself. I think thats useful but it seems that USDT is also falling down many times and you can not really make it stable, thats what the rule of decentralisation is.

For those of you who know more about stablecoin. With a state of the problem that can be said to be very bad. This has become one of the risks to the digital business. Keep an eye on every progress, so you can make more profit. Hopefully today there will be many developments and price increases for ETH. PATIENT

Most people seem to forget that it is pretty easy to make it look like your ico sold a lot. While in reality you just sold to yourself.

They do not raise money to speculate on the value of other cryptocurrencies. So the best option for an ICO would be to sell the coins raised for fiat, or at least to hedge partially. Even in the case of the Ethereum ICO, the bitcoins which were raised were converted to fiat. (it actually caused a drop in the value of Bitcoin at that time).

At present, ico is the financing activity of unsupervised. Today's ico is incomplete and immature, and there are still some problems caused by many fraudulent activities!
The us began to regulate ico in order to guarantee the interests of investors!

Market volatility accompany decreases in both stock returns and liquidity and the effect of volatility shock on stock returns is greater for stocks with more domestic or foreign institutional trading.Individual investors mitigate the negative effect of volatility shock on stock returns. The interaction effect of market volatility and liquidity on stock returns is stronger for stocks with more foreign institutional trading.

I suggest you to choose investment type that provide passive income, so you can always use your passive income. Keep focus on gaining asset, if you are young then it is your advantage because you have more time to grow it. Realestate investment is always on of best investment, if you don't have that big capital to buy one then you can try to looking for masternode coin.

A critical issue is whether the price volatility of listed real assets reflects true changes in the ... asset volatility because they are unduly influenced by liquidity

If one is patient, massive liquidations can be spread out over multiple exchanges, and over time. Volatility is the real issue. Until we get more adoption, it doesn't take a lot of selling to make a major effect on the price.

yes indeed we need clarity as well, so as not to make a fatal mistake. so in doing something it also needs clear info as well.

That problem would be up to those investors who placed money into such ICOs without realizing that their money would remain stagnant without receiving any real utility over their received products. In the case of bitcoin, there are several service providers which accepts bitcoin as a payment method, so the economy somehow is not stagnant since the cryptocurrency flows around. But in ICOs? The money will stay where it's at and would not be put into good use whatsoever.

Most of the successful ICOs from 2017 still have 80-90% of fund raised on their one or more addresses. So before thinking of liquidity aspect, first important question is whether ICO has such large business that actually requires millions of dollars? The answer is no in most of the cases, that's why they are troubled by local authorities, tax authorities, etc. because they can't justify the use of funds and are forced to keep them as it is. Else otherwise, market has instant liquidity of ETH. You can sell thousand a day without affecting market at all.

It's because those top cryptos can be sold for fiat currencies quite easily. These fiat currencies can then be used to pay for the expenses. Volatility is a true killer, but I think most ICOs sell at least a part early on to avoid failure due to extreme price crashes. Besides, the cryptocurrencies they raised could also show significant growth, which would allow the project developers to get even richer. (Or they could spend it on the project... Though I'm quite sure most of the project creators wouldn't mind some extra pay) So I feel like it's not that hard to use them in a practical way. By simply raising the top few cryptocurrencies, they can easily sell them and they're usually reasonably stable too. Growth also allows for some nice additional profits.

Some investors do these kind of way, not because they are wise enough but i think, they just do it, especially those who participated within the given time of presale, and afterwards if that specific token or coin get listed on any exchange site, most of the time if the investors distinguish if the coin is not good for long term then it will be immediately get dumped for sure, and dumpers affect the market that is why volatility is now lesser than last year december, (greater).
