Whats up with Celebrities and ICO's

PURE INVESTMENTS ULTIMATE DISCUSSION


WHO IS BEHIND THIS? Crypto Media Group

The are working with multiple celebrities accounts to advertise ICO tokens .

We see this a lot with stocks and how news will come out about celebrities investing in certain companies to attract investors. And now we are seeing Celebrities advertise ICO's. These coins might not be all bad, but you need to be very cautious when investing, especially with these ICOS. The reason is simple, when they are being promoted they are being pumped and the evaluation gets rocketed. Most of these celebrities are being paid to promote, and even if they do own the tokens they likely received them for free. Don't fall into the trap of thinking they are actually investing in these coins. If they own coins, they will likely sell them as soon as they hit a exchange.



LIST OF CELEBRITIES

IMO, once you see Mayweather promoting a coin you're wayyyy too late & founders prob have a mad % of coins.
I hate everyone on this website.
Valid point OP .
Those celebrities have no knowledge of crypto currencys or have any IT experience so Investors shouldn't jump the gun when seeing these names pop up.
Spend your life With people who make even going to the grocery store an adventure.

Correct which is why you should be especially cautious when investing. The coin gets pumped and then when you go to invest you are buying it at a huge premium.

I would say the biggest reason people get killed in crypto, is that they dont take the time to look at the market cap of the coin and figure out a evaluation.

Lots of people will think, "Wow a celebrity is buying it, and it is only $1 thats cheap" when in reality their is $1b coins, and so the evaluation of the coin is $1b which is silly for any ICO

Yeah I agree, but people will always invest no matter how much you try to explain to them :p Not saying they are all bad, but their are certainly a few

From my opinion, never invest in ico that some celebrity promote...
They are just paid alot of $$$ to promote those ICO's. Well, maybe it will pop up some good one, but I doubt.
Dan Bilzerian claimed to have bought bitcoins too. I genuinely believe he did buy though.

He did tweet and post on instagram a few times I think.
ICO's are destroying cryptos by inviting fraudsters and then regulation will follow. It hurts reputation and growth.

But more to the point....celebrities interested in lining their own pockets are probably being brought in by bad actors (figuratively).

I totally agree, way to many ICOS promise technology that is not feasible within a reasonable time. The market is certainly reflecting it
