I think that is not a good time to an investment ICO, because in all countries to formulate strict regulatory measures to regulate the ICO, so the current investment ICO is a risky thing, I want to buy BTC is likely to be a better choice.
I would totally agree , but I made some research and I change my mind!
What I think now based on my findings is that BTC is the worse investment a person can do!
BTC is actually an empty token with nothing to back it up, and worse than that, it needs tons of energy to keep exist and create new blocks.
ICOs on the other hand are backed up by a project that promise the utilization of its product and which will make it profitable and not expensable in order to exist.
PoW is not going to survive for ever, soon or later governments will ban all mining factories, PoW is not green and it needs huge amounts of energy to keep running and its a slow process that slow down the whole blockchain network. That's why Ethereum is moving away from it asap!
Anyhow, ICOs are not going to leave us because of regulations, are here to stay because already counties try to find ways to integrate them in their economy, like Cyprus! As I read on the Internet Cyprus is working to become the first ICO global hub!!
ICOs that using utility tokens are not under any law unlike ICOs that are actually securities, so there are two different categories. DIW is a utility token 100% and won't have anw any problem with regulations.
anyway I believe the economy will change for ever in 2018. And ICOs will play a very major role to this, maybe is the best time now to buy cheap ICOs now because when become fully regulated and easy to access by the masses, will be to late.
Now is like the begging of Bitcoin, was cheap but people didn't trust it.. Those who bought first , today are million and billionaires
