Coca-Cola is one of the first companies that announced on Friday they are launching a new project using blockchain’s digital ledger technology to make a secure registry for all workers that will help fight the use of forced labor all around the World.

This is good news and we are so happy that this amazing technology began changing the World. We hope more and more companies will start using the blockchain.

The head of Bank of International Settlements, the world consortium of central banks warned about the dangers of Bitcoin. He says the Bitcoin is one huge Ponzi Pyramid and will fall very soon. He add that this bubble will burst in the near future.

To prevent crypto currencies from becoming “parasites” on current financial infrastructure, he said that only those exchanges and products which met accepted global standards should be given access to payment and banking services.

After this announcement the price of Bitcoin falls under 6000 dollars. That is more than 24% compared to price in Monday.

Many countries such as India, South Korea are planning to ban crypto currencies exchanges, or at least regulate them. This will ( according to bankers) prevent people from losing money.

However, the point of blockchain is decentralized system.

What Is Initial Coin Offering ?

An Initial Coin Offering , also often known as ICO, is a crowdfunding centered around cryptocurrency in which new projects sell their crypto tokens in exchange for bitcoin. This is very similar to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in which investors purchase shares of a company.

ICOs are a relatively new phenomenon but have quickly become a major topic of discussion within the blockchain community.

In ICO, the quantity of funded cryptocurrency is “return” to investors in the form of tokens. In this way, the investors have a “shares” in the startup. ICOs are often out of any jurisdiction and complex regulatory compliance and intermediaries, such as stock exchanges, banks and venture capitalists.

The first official ICO was held by Mastercoin In July 2013. The total funds raised were about 4740 BTC which resulted in the creation of about 563,162 MSC. Their vision is to “Accelerate innovation throughout the world by building a global value exchange platform in an decentralized, open, transparent way”.

One of the most famous ICOs is Etherium in the mid 2014. One ETH was 0.0005 BTC, or approximately 0.25$ at that time. So, for 100$ you got about 400 ETH. You can calculate the value today.  They became more popular in the 2017 at about 50 ICOs per month. Yes, that is very big number.

We can see that ICOs are everywhere. Every day we see new ICOs. Some of them have great projects. However, we have to be very careful, because scammers can use this to scam you and steal your money. So, you have to be very careful and read all the whitepapers, see the team behind the project before you invest your money.

Are ICOs Legal?

Well, we have to say that they are not illegal. They are in gray zone. However, maybe ICOs were not regulated in the past, but now many countries are discussing about regulating this matter.
