It's weird because people compare it to the early days of the Internet... but the early Internet was useful from its beginning: you could at least send messages and files across the network, which was incredibly useful to academia and the military and was orders of magnitude more efficient than any alternative.
How is running an ICO not useful to people? Get lot of money with only doing a lousy whitepaper, drive ferrari and live luxury life rest of your life. No joking, many people can't imagine anything better.
- nkozyra 8y agoIf you consider being the beneficiary of a boom in what is effectively fraud a "good thing," sure. I can driver a Ferrari if I literally rob people, too, but most people would consider the people I've hurt in the process when evaluating the merits of my actions.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoI think that's the joke; that there are at least enough of those unethical people that they can make money off it.
- jerguismi 8y agoWhat does the market say? ICOs seem to be very popular so effectively quite a lot of people seem to consider them a good thing, at least currently. Does useful mean the same as ethical? Those people do ICO's to raise money from other people, and it seems to work for them.
