Shhhh fool this has been covered many times before.
It was not advertised and raised magnitudes less than all the other ICO's running at that time since hardly anyone knew it was running.
It was recognised as a stealth ico scam in the last poll. I will run another poll if you want more proof.
Do you think a highly hyped up ICO with marketing and advertising to collect as much as possible would've been more responsible? All these projects are high risk, I think it's very irresponsible and borderline insanity to hold ICOs with only a promise that collect tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars from gullible speculators who don't understand what they are buying into.
IOTA ICO wasn't hyped, so you had to be interested in the tech itself instead of getting excited by pie-in-the-sky promises of the marketing people and FOMO hype of the sig campaign sock puppets. IOTA has different breed of investors than your regular hype scam ICO, which is fine, all kinds of different projects and diversity are needed so the evolution can happen.
