Is this project is created to protect investor? Is it an US Gov investor protection contribution?
What an idea to give a tutorial!? Cheesy

I clicked "Buy Coins" on the site, and I was redirected to this page:

https://www.investor.gov/howeycoins

What does it mean?  Tugorial! Tutorial!

It's a mock/fake website created by the US government to educate investors about how easy it is for them to be scammed by fraudulent ICO's:

Thanks for the explanation, at first look I was wondering myself. Really?? Theymos is promoting this ICO.
