RE: My though about ICO and token sales

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Not certainty and garantee, but at least some amount of clarity in accountability, and minimum of perspective and planning ..

Otherwise i dont see any use of blockchain if the price cannot be garanteed a minimum, neither for merchants or users who are not pseudo trader in greater fool game.

Well we prepared an ico last year, but since the beginning i was not fond of the idea, especially with the guy i was doing it with, it could only go south.

Even escrow and all they are far from being really serious lol

Ive been into startup before, with true share holding agreements, investors etc, even with things being well defined with good perspective, its already hard to really balance cash flow, with ico i really have hard time to see how token could gain in value that much with honnest methods of real economy.

I could maybe do an ico soon, im still preparing my system of distributed app, i will soon have good project running i guess, but we thought about all this in depth last year with lawyer and people used to investment, boss of software company etc, i really dont see how ico can turn to something really serious and sound lol

Even if the project take off, i dont see how coin value can be connected in any sound way with company success, even steem is good example of this, its rather successfull project, we dont see the coin pruce skyrocketting either, and i dont see any reason why it would actually ..

I really have hard time to see how to make this work in a way that investor can get fair benefits from success, and keeping things as clear and legal as possible, and i dont see how ico can get there.

Its not like stock options or share where there is a real legal pegging of the value to something tangibly related to project success and accountability, neither like currency or actual tokens where the value is backed to a minimum safe value.

Its not about certainty but at least legality, honnesty and good fundation for a project, where progress expanse and income can be controlled a minimum with a set direction, even if result are never certain.

And if there is already no order and garantee set at the early stage, it will rarely improve latter ..
