Where would ICOs be today without bitcointalk forum? What will they do if the forum shuts down for some odd reason?
From the posts I read (I stated before in a post, I am more of a reader than a poster, so pardon my mistakes), it seems that all ICOs are breathing bitcointalk.org.
It's probably one of the last active and alive forum in the world and the essence of all Initial Coin Offerings that are launching every day. They are way too many, and too many think they can raise tons of money to fund their ideas easily. As a matter of fact, this forum is the only real catapult for ICOs along with its community. The rest looks like a morning dense fog that tests your driving skills to the max... people(investors) get crashed a lot lately in the ICOs ERA driving through the foggy projects that kids invent every day to get some "lambo" cash.
So the big question, where will ICOs stand till 2020? 99% scam | 0.5% legit projects | 0.5% worthless legit projects; Will bitcointalk still alow ICOs to be posted/promoted/pumped in here?
Bitcointalk is a significant platform for building communication between investors and the presentation of new ICOs. However, it isn`t the only way for new projects to report on their existence. The forum is a field for announcements, but it doesn`t answer all questions related to the new project. In order to obtain the necessary information, investors need to visit the project site, see the whitepaper and the road map. I think that such announcements can be done using steemit, twitter and facebook. The forum is rather a concentration of investors and crypto-enthusiasts, so it is convenient for new ICOs to use it for their news, but they can do just fine without it.
