Does the amount of money raised in an ico determine the success of the project??
Is a necessity to do a fund raiser in order to start up a project??
Did satoshi nakamoto and vitalik also started a fund raised??
1. No, it's only determine investor see that project as a good investment because they think the project can become big in the future.
2. Yes if you want to find an investor to fund your project.
