I repeat: everyday, more and more
people are using this disruptive in-
novation.
To invest, for example; In the last
collaborative report by PwC Strate-
gy and Crypto Valley Association,
according to their numbers, the
ICO market has grown dramatical-
ly during the first 5 months of 2018:
537 ICOs, raising $13.7 billion.
Yes! It’s huge! Yes! Greater than all
the ICOs combined since the beggi-
ning.
Read it again: 537 ICOs, raising
$13.7 billion, and greater than all
the ICOs combined since 2018 in
just 5 months!
The report confirms: ‘Since our last
report in December 2017, ICOs have
gained further momentum and are
emerging as a workable alternative
form of crowdfunding’ (PwC Stra-
tegy and the Crypto Valley Associa-
tion - Initial Coin Offerings A stra-
tegic perspective).
And you know what? Maybe we
have forgotten this point: to invest
in an ICO (initial coin offering),
most of the time you need crypto-
currencies. Almost always, Bitcoin.
Often, Ethereum. Sometimes, Alt-
coins. Rarely, fiat ($, € , and others).
That’s the way the
Crypto-world works.
Not only is the Crypto-world resilient,
surprising and inspiring, it’s also a
market disruptor. It doesn’t just di-
srupt the web, but also many business
and governance models, affecting a co-
untry’s attractivity and competition.
Few countries have decided to con-
sider this innovation as a unique op-
portunity to become (more) attractive.
Politicians have changed their minds,
received advice from people concerned
and involved in this innovation, and
then have acted to create new laws, of-
fering a friendly legal framework. Not
just words but concrete actions, trusta-
ble and sustainable legal framework.
As this innovation is resilient and its
community agile, it can adapt itself qu-
ickly. That too is a kind of resilience.
All startups launching ICOs have see
where the light comes and have massi-
vely relocated their activities.
The global hierarchy is
changing. Some countries
become the “Eldorado” for all
ICO’s: For example, Switzer-
land, Malta, Singapore,
Estonia or Lithuania.
