RE: ICO's IN TURMOIL, WE HAVE A SOLUTION...
Hi @numanbutt
Actually, I'm totally new to even cryptocurrency because it's ban in our country.
do you mind sharing with us where're from? Lahore is capital of Pakistan, right? Is crypto really banned in Pakistan? Are authorities very strict about it?
Yours

Yes, I'm from Lahore and Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan (but Lahore is considered as most progressed city).
Yes, crypto is banned in Pakistan but there are still some people who are traders. So, strictness is not that much.
My main point is that people even don't know about it.
I heard about bitcoin during summer vacation of 2017 but ignored it.
Then I came across the plateform of steemit and learnd that there are some voting bots. But I didn't had money to invest so I talked to one of my friend who I knew was involved in crypto trading. So I bought some from him (almost september 2018).
That's whole story.
As far as strictness is concern, there are a lot of things that are not allowed but no strict order from government.

Hi @numanbutt
Thank you for taking the time to write your explanation.
when did your administration banned crypto? Sometime lately? Like 2017-2018? Or earlier?
Make sense. Indeed you're one of very few representatives from Pakistan here on Steemit.

Last week I saw on some news site that the Indian banks had written to some of their customers saying we believe you are trading in cryptocurrencies and we are going to freeze your accounts! I didn't save the link.
