HN doesn't need to be a place where we can "teach the controversy" about stealing people's money. Imagine Amazon raised money by selling people BezoBucks, but promised "BezoBucks are totally safe because their value is tracked through an incorruptible distributed ledger". I think you would probably not be ok with this. I see no difference.
- dandero 9y agoI considered this platform innovative, but I must say like someone stated above that most of the comments here have no clue about what we will see in the next year. The evolution of venture capital. The future of finance. And most of users at HN just see all of this as a scam. The money raised will be invested and you will see then the result of the investment. It's funny how people think about the future looking at the past.
- richardknop 9y agoI doubt it. What we will see next year will be thousands of unsophisticated naive investors losing their life savings or ending up with big credit card debts because they tried to get rich quickly without any effort, just by flipping tokens. This is a disaster in waiting.
