so I haven't gotten enough hate comments
lately and that made me decide to make
another video talking about a Bitcoin
and cryptocurrency related topics so if
you guys are looking for a video to drop
some thumbs downs on due to the fact
that I'm talking about cryptocurrency
with an unfavorable opinion then you are
going to be happy with this video
because today I'm going to be talking
about why most of these I cos our
complete scams now before you go ahead
and start commenting on this video
saying that I am wrong I just want to
make this point that a lot of smart
these icos and believe that they are
scams on that list is Jordan Belfort -
the infamous wolf of Wall Street and
also Jimmy Wales the co-founder of
Wikipedia
both of these two men are very outspoken
about these icos
especially Jordan Belfort now you may
argue that Jordan Belfort is one of the
biggest scam artists of our time and why
would we ever listen to him well my
philosophy is if a scammer believes that
it's a scam then it's probably a scam
okay now I wouldn't say that Jordan
Belfort is a scam artist now I actually
had the opportunity to meet him a couple
of weeks ago at that synergy global
forum and he seems like a pretty honest
guy in like he's trying to turn over a
new leaf
but obviously he did some shady activity
in his past but the point is if Jordan
Belfort is calling it a scam then
personally I'm gonna trust him because
he would know a scam better than anyone
so first of all let's identify what an
ICO actually is
so when ICO is an initial coin offering
and the name comes from the IPO which is
an initial public offering so when a
private company wants to go public and
raise funding they will have an IPO and
they offer shares to the public through
the IPO now the ICO
is going to be the same kind of deal but
instead of offering shares of ownership
they're offering you tokens so tokens
okay what is the value of these tokens
well it's all based on perception and
speculation where shares give you
ownership of the actual company tokens
give you I don't know I have no idea
what they give you so here's how it
works in a nutshell you're going to see
a company offering an IC o---- they're
offering up a new type of cryptocurrency
it's a new and
exciting form of cryptocurrency and what
you have to do is exchange the Bitcoin
or aetherium that you currently own and
you're going to exchange it and you're
going to get this new token from this
company it's called an IC o---- the
initial coin offering or the first time
a new cryptocurrency token is being
offered to the public now this isn't
just a very small activity here in fact
to date 2.3 billion dollars have been
raised in 2017 from these IC OS and
that's not even a current figure that
was from a couple of weeks ago so I'm
sure it's even higher now so we're
talking about billions of dollars moving
into these icos these offerings of new
cryptocurrencies so rather than
following these traditional ways of
raising capital like a venture capital
or the IPO these blockchain based
companies raise money through the ICO so
the best way for me to explain this ICO
is it's a combination of crowdfunding
plus cryptocurrency so they're going to
be funding a project of some kind and in
exchange you're going to get a token now
like we said guys there have been
billions of dollars raised this year
alone through these icos
so my main question was why are people
buying these things why aren't people
investing in these tokens the main
reason is the elevated interest in
cryptocurrency and blockchain technology
thanks to Bitcoin and ethereum so what's
happening here is people are trying to
catch the next wave they're trying to
get in on the ground floor of the next
Bitcoin or the next aetherium or altcoin
so what they're doing is buying whatever
else is out there in hopes that they're
going to have a Bitcoin like experience
where they're going to see a 1,000 plus
percent appreciation in one year what
this reminds me of is when we saw
Facebook IPO we saw their stock take off
after they had a little bit of trouble
there in the beginning and since then
every social media company that has gone
public has had a bit of a rise at first
and then they taper it off look at
Twitter and look at snapchat so it
reminds me of people investors who are
trying to get in on the next Facebook
just because they saw that rapid
appreciation of Facebook stock they
believe the same thing will happen with
Twitter and snapchat and that was not
the case as we have seen so far so that
is what I look at with these icos
it reminds me a lot of people
trying to catch the wave of facebook
people are trying to catch that wave of
Bitcoin by getting in on something else
on the ground-floor now in my opinion
and I may be wrong here I believe this
whole crypto craze is a repeat of the
dot-com bubble and at this point I am
sure this is when all the crypto fanboys
are going to give this video a thumbs
down and write a negative comment about
my shirt so just like the dot-com bubble
I believe that this crypto bubble is
rooted in the technology that is very
great and in this case it is blockchain
technology I have no doubt in my mind
that blockchain technology is very
useful and is going to play a big role
in our future I just think that people
are overly excited right now and the alt
coins and these bitcoins are trading
solely on hype and speculation so the
way I see it is this the rapid
appreciation of Bitcoin anythi reham has
gained the attention of the herd and now
they are going to throw money at
anything under the crypto family because
they believe it's going to have a 1000
plus percent appreciation in a very
short period of time because that's the
same thing that happened with Bitcoin
and aetherium if there's one thing that
I have learned as an investor it is that
past results do not guarantee a similar
outcome now I may be wrong about this
but I do believe that this is a bubble
at this point that people are investing
in this stuff solely due to the hype of
Bitcoin and aetherium now I'm not saying
that all of these AI SEOs are a scam but
in my opinion most of these icos
are a complete scam and I want to give
you guys a few reasons why that is and
I'm hoping that if you're on the fence
about it maybe some of these facts are
going to deter you away from putting
your hard-earned money into one of these
icos the number one reason is because
the ICO is a total loophole you have to
understand that an IPO an initial public
offering is heavily regulated and there
is far less regulation involved with the
ICO so this is a way for companies to
raise money without going through the
process that you go through in order to
have an initial public offering the
second reason is because there are very
low barriers to entry as far as having
an ICO yourself what that means is
pretty much anyone out there with a
computer and a legal document known as a
white paper can
I see oh there are far lower barriers to
entry associated with an ICO than there
are with an IPO the third reason why I
believe most I SEOs are a scam is
because you don't need to have any kind
of track record in order to raise money
this isn't like raising venture capital
when you have to have an actual business
and actual numbers and actually be
making money to have someone invest in
your business in this form you don't
even have to be making any money
so unlike raising money through things
like venture capital you do not need to
have a track record to raise money
through an ICO reason number four ties
in with number two as far as those
minimal barriers to entry and that is
because all you need to have an ICO is
essentially a website and a document
known as a white paper and that white
paper is a document that's about 20
pages in length where you're going to be
describing what you are raising money
for and at that point if you have a
website and you have a willing audience
then you yourself can have an ICO reason
number five is because there is ZERO
accountability with an ICO this is not
like an IPO where they are offering up a
piece of the company they're not
offering any equity in that company all
they are offering up is these tokens so
there is no accountability on the
company's part to actually follow the
promises they made and do what they said
they were going to do reason number six
is because there is a large potential
here for a pump and dump where a company
is going to simply have an ICO they're
gonna buy their own tokens and once
they're trading at elevated levels
they're gonna dump their position and
they're gonna walk away from the whole
thing that is what happens with Penny
Stocks most of the time people are going
to buy a position in some kind of penny
stock then they're going to talk it up
and tell everyone this is the next hop
penny stock and then once that penny
stock is trading at a higher level due
to that demand they go ahead and sell
and everyone is left with a worthless
piece of stock and the final reason is
the fact that I believe that these
companies are solely taking advantage of
the hype and really I don't blame them
if this is what your business model is
if you're looking to take advantage of
people then good for you because you've
picked up on a good thing and there's a
lot of interest in the cryptocurrency
and blockchain technology I think a lot
of companies are doing these I SEOs
solely due to the fact that there is an
elevated level of
interest in this blockchain technology I
don't believe that their businesses have
anything to do with blockchain or would
even benefit from blockchain technology
in most cases anyways guys that is all I
got for this video I'm guessing this is
going to be one of my more unpopular
videos it's going to be popular in terms
of views I would assume but I'm thinking
it's going to get a lot of dislikes
based on my previous videos related to
Bitcoin but I wanted to give you guys my
opinion on this if you guys enjoyed this
