You were supposed to do your own research. Bittrex's terms were completed.
If an exchange is holding an ICO for a scammer..it's their fault. Once Fincen kicks in..it'll all be taken care of. Regulation is another thing that would help keep people away from scammers like these. I was never a big fan of regulation but that needs to be done on all exchanges.
Video chat/ID proof/ Residential address/ Previous history etc..all needs to be there for every single developer on each exchange.
This EQX dev must be running around in happiness but he doesn't realize that his 66 btc won't last for lifetime and once Fincen kicks in..he will have hard time making any money at all.
This whole Bitcoin/altcoin thing is an experiment.
Can decentralized, trustless and unregulated currencies work in our society? The answer so far is an emphatic no.
More and more people are asking for regulation. These people need to decide what they want. If you want regulation stop using crypto - go back to fiat. If you want an unregulated currency with anonymity and everything else that comes with it then either:
a) stop investing in shit
or
b) get used to losing your money
You can't have it both ways!
People need to stop investing in ICOs immediately and a big part of this problem will disappear instantly.
Exactly, not sure why you people are all here if it's regulation that you want.
Please fuck off to wherever you came from before you heard of the BTC train.
I invested in this shit just the same, but felt the scam coming and still got out with a nice profit (though not as much as I was hoping for)
