Too High Bonuses: A Sign Of Scam Projects?

[adekogbe]

It is important for people to know that, not all projects that steal money and disappear are scams and a lot of projects just offer huge bonuses to entice people into investing in their platform.

Offering too high bonuses is one of the major reasons why some ICOs fail.
Ideally i believe presale bonuses should not be more than 30% and the purpose of presale should be for a project to meet its soft cap, so presale allocations should be capped accordingly.

Offering too high bonuses either locked up or not will still cause some form of uncertainty for investors and prompt weak hands to dump.

Projects that offers 50, 70 or even 100% bonuses should be a no go area for investors.

I very much agree with this view. The income from any ICO project should have a certain range. Therefore, the ICO project pre-sale distribution must have a reasonable proportion, and the bonus provided is too high. It is for investors. Catastrophic, this is the restricted area of investment

[anatolykarpov]

Most of the ICOs are hiding bonus ratios of seed and private investments from crowdsale investors.
And they call it NDA.
All ICOs are scam. They just want to raise quick money.
All investors are fake who wants to be quick rich.
This is our ecosystem.

[cryptokia]

It is 90% scam project that promises to be rich over one night, usually to turn on the project in need to go hard path of development, and it's not gonna be easy for them both for us.

I agree that the high ico bonus will only kill ico itself, imagine if all investors dump the bonus, maybe the price will fall greatly. If the price has fallen, it will take time to reach ico price and even then if it can be achieved.

I Think that Bonus is not an issue , The problems is when they fascinate people with high returns on purchased tokens. SO i am not completely agreed on this. Mostly Tokens with high bonus are doing good in market.

[mugawanti]

it's true that those who are irresponsible lure us with a big bonus and when we have jumped in to join them instead they leave us and bring our money without any refund.

[settingwake]

i mostly agree your views, which seems too good to be true usally really is

MLM , for sure MLM .

I had met with someone who was trying to convince me that this new coin he was promoting will be the best coin ever to exist (first sign of scam, you are not going to crack top 2, btc and eth is there to stay) and the only way to buy into that coin during their ICO was to buy from other people.

Hence, you basically own that coin and than you have chance to sell to other people and you will get more of that coin if someone buys from you, the number of coin increased by just selling to other people. Multi level marketing way of making an ICO on a new coin shows how horrible it is if you ask me. Never go for that kind of stuff.

[Golftech]

The promise itself can't be sustainable in the long run, as there's also pre sale that offers much cheaper than the ico itself with bonuses, though there's some coins who's still exist even came from this type of ico but still as we seen from the market that most of those project that appears this year are having difficulty surviving the downtrend.

on my opinion , if bonus higher than 40% its like hyip project,
i mean just quick rally money.
but , sometimes some good project have a huge bonuses,
but in this cases , the team just give like 70% bonus as a example , then with min investement 100 eth or more
and allocation for private investor just about 5% from total token supply
its can be logic for me.

[kreditzcoin]

I agree. Too high bonuses minds probably HYIP.
Also, you can buy as many tokens as you want in a ICO (if you have funds enough, of course) Why devs allow that?

They think by offering the scheme of bonus that doesn't make sense can attract the investors to participate in the crowdsale but it's wrong. The bonus should not more than 10% this to keep the price of altcoin after the coin has distributed to all of the participants.

[Refozzblaze]

I agree with you, but in my opinion bonuses don't really affect their sales because smart investors will definitely see what the benefits of investing in their platform are not how much bonus they (investor) get.

[taeewo]

You are right on this your perspective because they are using the bonus to attract more people who will believe they are buying cheaper to make gain when listed on exchange.

[Cryptolord_ng]

You're very right, most of people are too greedy that those ICOs offer high bonus not thinking of what might come afterwards

[Samtob4]

You are right mate especially airdrop 99 percent of them are scam they give high token... some investor buy coins with high bonus later no come out of it

[strunberg]

I agree that the high ico bonus will only kill ico itself, imagine if all investors dump the bonus, maybe the price will fall greatly. If the price has fallen, it will take time to reach ico price and even then if it can be achieved.

that usually think that happen in market when token listed in exchange.private sale contributor that get high discount will dump their token in order to switch at order ico projects.

[MainIbem]

In as much as your suggestion makes sense, it is a speculation. It would have been nice if you site even if it is just one example to butress your point.

[abel1337]

I think it is depending on the ICO , giving so much bonuses are sign of scam but on the other side it can be a marketing strategy of the ICO for selling out their tokens.
