Save backer initials

hey guys so in this video I wanted to go over icos or initial coin offerings so before I get into that I just wanted to do a quick background on myself there's a lot of so-called YouTube experts out there that are probably trying to give you financial advice so just real quick background on myself so I have a Bachelor of Science a dual major of computer science and business as well as three years in on a Harvard MBA and I'm finishing this year and I also own a IT consulting LLC company and avid I'm an avid investor and cryptocurrencies junkie and I've been you know trading stocks for 20 years and I've been in cryptocurrency for probably about at least two years or so and just recently - I started working part-time for an asset management company as an ICO analyst so giving them advice and tips on you know new crypto poins coming into the market new ICO is that sort of thing so just wanted to give throw that out there because I had questions before on my background of you know in rightfully so right I mean anyone making financial videos they should have some some background to kind of support their claims but but again I mean I do do a lot of research too in these videos so I would never throw out any false information so anyways I SEOs let me what is in ICO you know to start with so it's an initial coin offering it's basically think of it it's like an IPO or initial public offering we're investors try to get our company tries to get investors to to buy in so if you go to this website it's Bitcoin magazine com4 slash guides for /what ico and it kind of gives you a description of what an IC o---- is but basically is it's just a company or a group of individuals trying to get funding to release their new technology their new crypto poin or you know whatever they're they're trying to do here for their project so let me get back to my notes so how do you pick the best IC o---- so i cos have been huge like the past maybe year or maybe even just six months and give they're still so new I recently did the Naga its na ga IC o---- that was like a couple weeks ago and I was able to call Drupal my money in probably two weeks so the there's huge potential for these icos I'll make another video too and actually how to you know step by step on how to you know set these things up but in order to pick one because there's you know there's hundreds of these things out there so I developed some criteria you know how to pick the best SEO so I'll just read through my notes here so I use the blow below criteria when reviewing SEO is I follow a basic ground rule of understanding the idea and you know see thing seeing if it's applicable and if people could actually use or benefit from the product so are they you know coming up with just another Bitcoin is it you know another aetherium another litecoin is it something different is it gonna solve a problem is it going to solve you know like you know a problem that that can't be solved already right in other words the company's not just creating another Bitcoin so here are the five kind of rules or five steps that you want to look into one is the white paper so the first thing you want to do is you see an IC o---- you you know see it online like you know I want to invest in this thing I think I can you know make a lot of money but you know before I do so I really need looking at the company make sure they're legit you know over half of them are scams that's you know that's been proven I personally know and have heard of folks that have invested in I SEOs given them hundreds thousands of dollars and after they went live that obviously they were supposed to get you know the tokens back or you know the their money back and they never got it and then you know people aren't getting back to them they're not responding that sort of thing so you really need to make sure you do your research when you invest I mean that that's for anything but it's especially with these with these icos so take a look at the white papers the white paper is you know kind of like their you know their research stock right so they list their project plan and you know their tech tech notes that sort of thing so what what is it what are they trying to do order to bring bringing to the table why isn't you know the original Bitcoin and ether enough to serve the project's token you know what's different what's unique is there do they have a timeline is is the code already written is it you know just in concept phase how far are they you know that sort of thing 7 over to here take a look at the dev team in the advisory board block King a capital in this fan bushi these are big backers this fan bushi is the company that was created by the founder of aetherium so these these are two big kind of venture capitalist companies that that fund that have been funding these icos so if you see these guys backing an IC o---- more than likely they're pretty legit so you you know go on their website you know google google the names see who is on the advisory board you know or they you know look at their LinkedIn profile take a look at the dev team make sure it's not just you know some kid in college or you know make sure they you know how good resume went to a good school you know just have some work in the field that sort of thing maybe pop onto like github and see if they have some some of their notes some of the code you know available to review that sort of thing the main thing you want to see is you know are they transparent the more transparency the better right the third thing to look at here is hop on to Bitcoin talk org it's basically a message board and see how again goes back to transparency right so make sure they're being transparent this is a big Bitcoin talk board and there's a lot of ico discussions on here too so a more than likely if they're legit and big I see oh they will be on here and talking and you know there will be people asking them questions the dev team may be on here you know talking back and forth that sort of thing so you know look for positive feedback the questions being answered by the product and dev team that sort of thing step four is the stage of the project so are they just do they simply just have a white paper they in the beta phase do they actually have a project or product with functionality you know where are they I mean is it just a pipe dream or do they actually have a functioning product and again I mean a lot of these i SEOs is simply just you know a three-page document saying what they want to do and you know that's great null and you know not to say that it can never take off but it's you know if they actually have a product that's you know can that can be demonstrated that's even better right or you know something that at least could be you know something something that like in a beta phase that could be that that could be seen right would be best and lastly here like I mentioned before the github and other online posts you know Google them you know see it's all about transparency just see how transparent they're being I was three other websites down here I see bench comm SEO rating calm and ICO countdown calm so hop on these three websites too and just search on the on the ICO that you were looking to invest in and you know just to make sure that they're you know they're rated on here these sites do a pretty good job they don't obviously not all of them all of the I SEOs are on here but they do a fairly decent job but you know investigating the ICO is - so this lastly here I just wanted to go over kind of how I would review an ICO so here's an IC o---- it's the the Cee Cee kk k-- vr ICO and actually it was yesterday so the private sale started yesterday and I have a little note here you know it's very solid and it was up in the ranks of the kick in the NAG icos and it was you know must bat must invest a little late because obviously already happened and what these guys do is they are a virtual reality company and they're creating an entertainment mega-mega verse and these tokens are basically will be circulating in their kind of little entertainment mega burst that they're creating that can be traded you know traded for merchandise you know that sort of thing you know running on running on the blockchain and that this company is really big - if you go so if we go on their website you can see I mean they they have you know they're winning awards that look at I mean this is you you want to check on this - I mean they're featured in Forbes fortune Rolling Stone Wall Street Journal they're getting a ton of publicity look at I mean look at their partners Apple t-mobile Universal no again I mean this is their core product there's virtual reality this these guys aren't partnering with their with their crypto coin right but still I mean the company saw it enough where you know the big guys partner with them so more than likely they're there I see Oh lunch will will be you know solid as well so you know just hop on the website and check it out so so anyways that was just kind of a quick way of you know picking I SEOs and just to you know like I said there's a ton of scams out there so just be safe be careful about it like I said I might make another video on picking a CEO and just kind of going in depth and that sort of thing but hopefully this video you know allowed you guys to you know kind of see of the way the ways that you know I pick them and identify them and you know whether or not I would invest in them but any other questions let me know down in the comments or any other videos you guys want to see and I'll see you guys in the next one see ya
