ICO was a key theme last year, which attracted the attention of major investors from around the world. Despite the increase in turnover of crowdfunding, more than 800 projects on the blockchain is dead. Service DeadCoins collects information about abandoned by the developers of cryptocurrencies, same and just coins with low trading volume. It is reported .
thea Large portion of cryptocurrency vanished
Despite the apparent comic, reveals a very serious problem. Dead projects on the blockchain "buried" billions of dollars of investors. In addition, these pacifiers can divert attention from the really good startups.
In Addition to the dead coins, DeadCoins have information about bramah. For example, the draft version of World of Battles. Users of the service noticed that the ICO uses dishonest tactics. The startup team even stole someone else's logo and a bit reworked it for themselves.
Once some members of the list DeadCoins – coins CryptoMeth and EzCoin. Some of their names should scare off at least a little-minded investors. However, both projects stay afloat for a relatively long time at the expense of gullible investors, who promised untold riches.
There is an even more impressive news – it turns out that the DeadCoins list may be incomplete. Some analysts are expanding the number of dead blockchain startups to 1500. In their number also included the notorious BitConnect. We will remind, in the beginning of this year, the pyramid BitConnect , and with it fell the price of the coin.
Negative trends in the market ICO vengeance blows SEC. The regulator warns the investors about the huge percentage of Scam. In a recent press release, the SEC has mentioned ICO Titanum, which has collected $ 21 million before making allegations of fraud by its creators.
Taking into account the repeated instances of fraudulent ICO, we urge investors to be extremely cautious when putting their money into projects on the blockchain.
Last year and a half were a time of "hot. ICO". However, the statistics reversed – most of these projects created only for taking away investors ' money. According to the company Satis Group, only a fifth of the ICO aims to create a real working product.
Recall that in this year the turnover of ICO has reached record heights. However, many analysts blithely to invest in new tokens. Even John McAfee on the termination of the ICO promotion of the SEC.
