Every single crypto CFC/ICO that has raised over 800BTC has performed either the marketing scam or the bubble scam. They basically give away coins to news outlets, give coins to conference managers so they can speak at conferences, sell coins for cheap to insiders and/or take out loans with high interest.
If you look at every single big CFC you will notice a substantial premine that isn't part of the CFC.
Ethereum 12%
Factom 50%
Augur 18%
GEMZ 20%
I commend syntax for not going the route described above. It's too bad that the top news magazines refuse to support good projects like this just because they won't pay for articles.
Stay strong. The good honest people will win in the end.
yes.. it also lets them have some of their own coins (a significant amount of them) without costing them anything, and if the 'value' goes up they can sell them easily as well...
you are right about the """""""""""""""""""""""""news""""""""""""""""""""""""" sites tho, crypto """""""""""""""""""""""""news""""""""""""""""""""""""" is a huge joke, tho news shoudn't even be the word for any of what trash they publish, since its nearly always under researched (or better yet not researched at all) or op ed under the guise of a news story, and usually for money (i'm sure everyone remembers the whole gaw bullshit)
