In your opinion which is the best way to promote an ICO at initial level to create buzz? Do you think Ann threads are enough for that and how much is the role of bounty campaigns in that?
The best way to promote an ICO is the project itself, investors are wiser now, they know what kind of platforms they want and they want an ICO that they think will deliver, even if they hire professional advertising firms, I don't think it will reach the desired funding.
Advertising might work to help some attractions, but you are correct, the project itself can be the best way promoting the project, if developers can build a good an thread which already composed of all the important details and how things can be used for long term outcome, as you mentioned, investors are
wiser already and use a good research before investing ad supporting new projects.
Adjusting to be more competitive while the market is not so friendly, you have to do such things like this to learned from the community
and hear what they've think the best practice to attract more people to help.
