RE: ico coins coming soon any tips

in #ico7 years ago

Heyy, I'm finally getting around to posting some things on Steemit lol - nice to find you here too :)
I haven't invested but I do find #EOS very interesting, particularly the way they are circumventing regulations by remaining outside of their jurisdiction - so simple and yet so brilliant lol.

It's outlined in their Token Purchase Agreement, and has caused quite an uproar on slack and across social media. @cob wrote a good post about it here:

Our mutual friend #ToldYaSoTone also weighed in on the project, with a slightly different opinion lol.

According to Tone Vays, a blockchain consultant, in both Larimer’s former projects, the cryptocurrencies at work were controlled predominantly by a small inner circle looking to hype the platform.

“Dan Larimer has started several proof-of-stake based projects and they have all been shady in nature,” Vays said. “Both Bitshares and Steemit allowed insiders to create lots of tokens for themselves, and after that, the proof-of-stake nature of the project allowed those insiders to print tokens of value for themselves in perpetuity.” http://www.coindesk.com/eos-unpacking-the-big-promises-behind-a-possible-blockchain-contender/

I met Dan in NY recently, and have been familiarizing myself more with the communities he's been involved in ( like #Steemit and #Bitshares ) - I can't say I've been scammed by anything or anyone yet lol, but I have experienced what Tone was saying about the centralization of the platforms where one or two whales can manipulate and effect the market.
