ICOs Risks and Rewards

The rise of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) is promising a leveled funding field for not only startups but also innovators who simply have an idea for a product or service even without having a prototype made. This model allows anyone to be an investor by granting them the ability to invest any desired amount very early on in these digital funding initiatives. This podcast brings an in-depth discussion on – ICOs Risks and Rewards.

Since billions of dollars have already been raised using ICOs, and ICOs are inherently global in nature, it is important that we understand not only the rapid rise of Initial Coin Offerings, but also what this meteoric rise will mean to nations and their current funding systems.
This is especially important as there is no international consensus that provides safeguards for investors across nations. Understandably, there is a growing concern that these investment opportunities could be scams and should be regarded with suspicion.
