ICO
What’s the Hype About?
ICO, sometimes called “Initial Coin Circus,” is a fundraising method designed for young and aspiring cryptocurrency projects. It’s like a glamorous carnival where startups can attract investors by selling digital tokens, promising them the moon (and sometimes even cheese).
A Brief History
The mysterious origins of ICO can be traced back to the early years of cryptocurrency with the launch of Mastercoin in 2013. However, things really started taking off in 2017 when ICO mania hit the market like a flock of seagulls chasing a bag of FrenchΒ fries. As a result, countless projects were born overnight, all competing for your digital wallet.
