Is this just smoke and mirrors or does this forum know something researchers do not? The forum is not doing anything, this is the most popular forum when it comes to cryptocurrencies and a huge amount of money moves in it every day so it is completely understandable that new developers want to promote their coin in the forum with the hope that some wealthy members will notice it and support them, icos will most likely disappear at some point, it was a good idea and it launched some important coins in the market but since then it has been abused by scammers and we cannot tolerate that any longer.
