Reasons why ICO turned scam.

Recommended Posts

There are ghost platforms  that can mimic legitimate exchanges.

There also fake platforms that invent users in order to make their business seem real.

A record of 7 billion dollars was raised in first half of 2018 through ICO and more than half were scam because of lack of regulations and enforcement security laws.

So, it is advisable to use trusted platform such as for initial coin offering (ICO) in order not to get scammed.

The most common reason why ICO's turned scam because they didn't reach their target found. It is only logical to think that where they get the money they needed to develop the project if they didn't collect enough funds for it.

Yeah they made this platform so easy to bring new ico project they don't have any real company any real project that's why we are losing money in ico section. If they by chance full fill their target they never look back about the project because their main intention is money.

Yeahh, So many fraud ICO today and this why ICO market was really bad and so many project turned out to be scam or fail reaching their softcap, I think it's better using other methode like IEO to more safe than ICO, I hope ICO market will same like before on 2017-2018.

ICO is just a program the important thing is who behind the ICO, are they new or already have good track record?. They can use any platform to collect fund but trusted developer is very hard to find. Just advice see their social media and how good they built communication with members, isn't good or bad?

ico is a dark place for those who understand, but also a channel for crooks to take advantage of your trust, before investing or doing anything, you need to find out the official sources.

With the current situation even big exchanges backing ICO is not guaranteed to be successful thats why i prefer IEO because the possibilities of the success is high because it is already open to the market.

ICO platform rightnow is full of scam projects, i think to avoid this kind of scam just make sure that project developers can clearly define what their goals are, successful ICOs have a straightforward, understandable whitepapers with clear concise goals.

Yopu may be right on some part, but ICO's are almost scams in the year 2018 as I have seen so many collected and their soft-cap, hardcap too reached, but after that they began to telling crap stories.

The whitepaper and roadmap are totally fraud to cheat investors.

Any ICO should rethink before starting not after or in middle.

Most ICOs turned into scam because of fake developers.They seems like they are working the project overtime but if the project has done it turns out running away investors money or maybe the soft cap and hard cap  doesn't achieve and choose to run away than to face those angry investors and hunters.

The reason why ico turned into a fraud is also due to the inability to understand each person's teeth want a quick and big profit, which is impossible for a sustainable development.

You are right. I can not believe in any initial coin offering again. That is why, some exchanges changed it to IEO, so that can have rules before they tell their customer to invest so that they will not be scammed.

If you are going IEO also take a look of the top exchanges and decide where to invest. There are lot of IEO's in these days for getting more profit for them.

I hope soon the IEO too get stopped in offering coins because what happen if the price of an exchange coin falls down.

Way back ICOs are doing great until scammers take over them, so right now investors are doubting them. ICO turns out to be scammed when they did not get their target or goal. so right now the best option is invest in IEO instead of ICO.

People started to have a doubt in every ICO or IEO due to past experienced and FUD that has been reported last year and this year. If scam projects will not be stopped more and more trader will start to lose their hope in crypto.

There are trusted ICOs that are been created by trusted companies, in future this business will not be just for everyone but those trusted companies, that alreday have names.

they became scam because of the greed.
I can say the some of the "turned-to-be-scam" project has a good promise at their early stage.
I think it is greed that drives them away from those promise.
Ofcourse there are also projects that it is meant to scam people even in the start.

Indeed! But then last year I knew some company that has been associated with big names but then, they turned into a scam ico. Too bad for us

I think is time  crypto companies stop partnering anonymously, it is not just us who get scammed big companies get scammed to, and we trust those scammer though those trusted companies.

You are right. There are risks also in investing in IEO. There are some criteria to put into consideration before investing. 

Risk is totally for us, but investing in top exchanges IEO, that will definitely bring profit and breathe for us. I wonder how many IEO's will come in the next year of 2020. We have to see everything on time to time for investing in them.

I believe Yobit had only 17k coins for their IEO and the price is too high than a Bitcoin.

Right to say when the investors just investing on the top exchanges IEO then they will gain profit not loss, and top exchanges IEO have very less risk.

I wish that those affliates needed to filter those companies who want to join them, scammers use big company names to gather more people and to make more people scammed.

That is why sometimes I think these regulations are important to secure ou crypto world, But still hate them.

It is impossible at this time to know that a cryptoc currency website is scam or legit. It is very difficult to know about it. I want that a website will be available that verify airdrops like KYC and post verified airdrops it's on main page so the people will safe his money.

Many project not enough potential and not rising his ico fund that's not major reason. 

Maximum project launch for only earning money  not for for any future work.

After income huge number of amount  then they scamed.

I that's the major reasons.

The reason why ico bowed into a fraud is too directly to the helplessness to realize each one people teeth neediness a lively and full-size profit, which is ridiculous for a sustainable development.
 

Sometimes i think these ICO companies they over spend their money in promotions and end up with no money and a loss, so instead they decide to scam to get back their money.

    • Сообщается, что основанная Джиханом Ву компания Bitdeer, занимающаяся майнингом криптовалют, ищет 100 миллионов долларов для наращивания своих мощностей по добыче биткойнов. Bitdeer Technologies Holding, компания по добыче биткойнов , основанная Джиханом Ву , как сообщается, ищет финансирование в размере 100 миллионов долларов для расширения своих возможностей по майнингу, как стало известно Bloomberg. Согласно отчету, сингапурская компания намерена использовать средства для расширения своих мощностей по добыче криптовалют, особенно в преддверии ожидаемого в апреле четвертого сокращения вдвое , что приведет к снижению вознаграждений за майнинг. Однако оценка компании после раунда финансирования остается неясной, поскольку обсуждения продолжаются, а детали финансирования могут быть изменены.   Основанная в 2018 году, Bitdeer публично торгуется на Nasdaq под тикером BTDR. На момент написания компания не делала никаких публичных заявлений относительно продолжающихся обсуждений финансирования. Переговоры о финансировании совпадают с приближением четвертого халвинга Биткойна, в результате которого вознаграждение за майнинг сократится вдвое с 6,25 BTC до 3,125 BTC в середине апреля. Сокращение потенциально может повлиять на прибыльность майнинговых предприятий, особенно для небольших компаний. Более того, помимо халвинга, майнеры сталкиваются и с другими проблемами. Как ранее сообщали СМИ, одобрение спотовых биткойн-ETF предоставило традиционным инвесторам альтернативный способ выхода на рынок криптовалют, заменив их зависимость от криптовалютных акций майнинговых компаний в качестве прокси для получения доступа к биткойнам.

    • Increased Rain ☔️   We have some Easter treats in rain form 🐰   Get your umbrellas out and be sure to catch some rain for yourself over the next few days! 🌧
    • По-разному бывает. Я точно не помню уже названия, но несколько шитков максимальную цену имели как раз не на моменте старта, а примерно через пару дней, так что не все под одну гребенку надо делать. Главное, что зарабатывать можно)
    • Да, и это справедливо. Т.к. быть среди лидеров - очень тяжело и рискованно. 😎 Первая задача, то там насколько помню по кнопке Go переходит на бридж (мост), где нужно поменять тестовые токены ETH Sepolia на MINT? ETH Sepolia можно запросить на кранах, ввести запрос в гугле и найти подходящий. У меня они просто уже были на кошельке. Вторая задача только для тех, кто купил их NFT. Кстати, она сейчас стоит 0.318 ETH = 1100$, это к слову о лидерах, почему у них столько баллов. 😎  Сейчас их не перекинуть, ждем дальнейших анонсов. Возможно эти баллы сразу будут влиять на получение эирдропа MINT.

    • Да тут увы и так времени нет, а нужно ещё тратить это на дропы, ладно если там всё работало бы молниеносно, но нет всегда какие-то сбои и трудности ещё хуже отбивают мотивацию.
