Bitcoin doesn't go up, but a lot of people predict it. The same situation with ETH! I start to panic! How can I invest my money in ICO, where all the dividents connected with ETH?!

Ethereum has widely adopted by so many companies and platforms. I have been reading the news that there will be a huge improvement to the viper to increase the security of ethereum blockchain and that's a really huge news.

As of today there is no doubt that Ethereum and its ERC-20 compatible token has been widely used by ICOs and other platform for some crypto-project but for the development of cross-chain and multi-currency platform thereare a lot of projects that taking advantage of this Ethereum's weakness - the un-connected block chain, think of it the KOMODO project as an example for cross-chain blockchain interconectivity, it can be undervalued as of the moment but in the future it could be widely used for dICO (decentralyzed ICO) - UTRUM project is an example.

In their attempts to maintain control over the financial flows of power often put business in a very difficult situation, which sometimes leads to suspended or even terminated. I hope that this does not concern the project or anyone here.

Here is an interesting table, which I found in the network – a comparison of the fall in the ICO projects token prices. All these ICOs were successful, raised from $ 50 to $ 150 million, and as a result – puff – their tokens dropped in price by 90% or more.

Yes, it’s an interesting and instructive table, those who bet on the token speculation should think twice. By the way, this is not so easy to speculate, tokens should be sold at the highest price after the ICO.

[Riha]

The table is an example of number manipulation. Instead of the token prices at the ICO stage, their maximum prices are shown. Those prices were reached at the peak of speculative activity in December 2017, then to the moon worked for absolutely all tokens, even for those which didn’t deserve it. That’s why we see such impressive fall in token prices. If the ICO stage was taken as the starting point, the percentages would be quite different.

Yes, it’s a very good point! Moreover, this table is a good demonstration of the fact that it’s a dangerous and deadlock strategy to issue and buy utility tokens betting on their speculative rise in price. In principal, utility tokens should be issued for use within the framework of the platform, or, in the case of Azbit - within the ecosystem and its services, only for this purpose. Token speculations are carried out at their holders’ risk.

[AndYou]

If not speculation, what is the use to buy Azbit tokens.

[nixon99]

If not speculation, what is the use to buy Azbit tokens.

To pay for ecosystem services - trading and investment platform, payment system, banking, etc. We focus on attracting traders, investors and crypto business, the development of a legal ecosystem governed by EU laws.

[Alex077]

And won’t Azbit tokens get cheaper?

And won’t Azbit tokens get cheaper?

Tokens issuers can’t and shouldn’t affect tokens price on the market – this action is prohibited by regulators. The tokens price on the market varies depending on a range of factors, such as the token holders speculative actions on the crypto market, rumors and investors' expectations, news about the progress of the project that issued tokens. Taking into account that we already have almost the first basic ecosystem services – the crypto exchange and the payment system, we expect the planned development of our project and the increase in the number of users. First of all, there will be a demand on tokens to pay for ecosystem services. Secondly, the number of tokens will decrease due to their redemption and destruction. Even if negative market conditions affect the value of our tokens, this will not affect ecosystem users – when paying with tokens, the discount for the ecosystem services is fixed and doesn’t depend on the market.

Instead of a table of uncertain origin, I suggest everyone read the latest ICO Rating Q2 report. You’ll find there interesting figures and trends. For example, it’s noted that the percentage of successful projects without MVP is decreasing, and the success of the projects with available MVP is on the contrary growing.

Yes, we’ve already read the report, an interesting research. By the way, it confirmed the correctness of our decision-taking to postpone the ICO for the autumn, as 2Q 2018 was considered as very unfortunate for the whole ICO industry.

[Alex077]

Will the rest of 2018 be better? Bitcoin is jumping.

We think ICO future is optimistic. The blockchain industry is developing, the demand on financial instruments for working with cryptocurrencies is growing. According to International Data Corporation, in the next three years investment in blockchain in Europe should increase 8-9 times. In accordance with the ICORating, Europe is leading in the number of ICO-projects, as the legislation is more loyal there and the governments of many countries, such as Switzerland and France, have positive attitude not only in relation to blockchain, but also to cryptocurrencies.

[Alex077]

I thought the USA and Asia are the leaders in that field.

As the ICORating report shows, the United States is the leader in terms of ICO investments. We observe a tightening of legislation in Asia in relation to ICOs and crypto industry. Let’s recall ICOs are generally banned in China. So, according to the variety and the number of ICO projects, the European region is the leader.

But recently bitcoin and altcoins prices fluctuate so much and don’t promise to the moon. Maybe I'm too skeptical, but it’s still important to have some kind of a global strategy for a long-term development on the crypto market.

Long term development should always be the focus of the development team. Market cycles come and go but if the project is worthwhile, the market will see its value.
