The value proposition for buyers is, as for the creators, easy money in a bubble.\n\u003e\n\u003e -- David Gerard (Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain / ICOs: Magic Beans and Bubble Machines)\n\n\n### Q: Making 50 000% Returns on ICO \"Investments\" - Possible? Spoiler: No. It's bullshit / a scam.\n\nBuyer beware! If it sounds too good to be true, - surprise, surprise - it is.\nThe Future is Bright! Free Easy Money Bullshit (BS) Example - [Early Investors are making 50 000% returns on ICOs](https://hackernoon.com/investors-are-making-50-000-returns-on-icos-32432bc741d1) by Coin and Crypto.\n\n\u003e Early investment is paying off big time\n\u003e\n\u003e The average return on the S\u0026P is 10%. Over the last year bitcoin has seen unprecedented returns of 1000%. \n\u003e But savvy cryptocurrency investors are investing in initial coin offerings (ICOs) \n\u003e and making return on investments (ROIs) \n\u003e as high as 50 000%. Stop and think about that for a moment. That means for a $100 investment in early 2017\n\u003e you could have netted $50 000. Not too shabby for a year of trading.\n\u003e \n\u003e [..]\n\u003e\n\u003e The majority of startups fail, even well funded ones,\n\u003e so be prepared to lose [all] what you invest [gamble], \n\u003e even if the landscape is optimistic. [To the moon! Thanks for your money and hodling the bag!] \n\n\n### Q: How do Bitcoins differ from Austrian ICO tokens? 20-Year-Lottery vs Get-Rich-Quick-Cash-Grab-Token-Sales\n\n\nCryptoCurrency (Bitcoin Accepted Here) vs Austrian App \"Platform\" Tokens\n\nBitcoins get \"mined\" with every new block every ten minutes. You CANNOT buy newly minted bitcoins.\nThe bitcoin \"lottery\" gives away FREE bitcoins\nto the lucky winner / number every ten minutes with every block added for the next TWENTY YEARS.\n\nWhy a lottery? A random (secure) lottery - using the famous proof-of-work / waste hashing crypto \"puzzle\" -\nis the fairest distribution between all network nodes / peers / players (in theory).\n\n**BEWARE: Bitcoin is a gigantic ponzi scheme.\nTo the moon!? The new gold standard!? \nDo NOT \"invest\" trying to get-rich-quick HODLing. \nWhy not? The bitcoin code is archaic and out-of-date.\nBurn, baby, burn! Proof-of-work / waste is a global\nenergy environmental disaster\nusing 300 kWh per bitcoin transaction (!) that's about 179 kilograms of CO₂ emissions.\nProgrammable money (or the internet of value) \nfor all future generations with (bitcoin) script\nwithout loops and jumps (gotos) and all \"stateless\"!? LOL.**\n\n\nvs\n\nAustrian tokens do NOT get mined. You can create / mint as many tokens as you like!\nJust punch / type in a number - lets say two billion. \nSell off 30% in an \"initial coin offering\" (ICO) / token sales to greater fools\nin a free money get-rich-quick cash grab running for lets say two or three weeks\nand keep the rest \"in reserve\" for yourself.\n\nIt's that easy and with the ready-to-use/ready-to-run Ethereum blockchain / network\nyou're off in ten minutes! \n\nFree easy money! Buyer beware! Do NOT get scammed by the promise of returns of 50 000% on your \"investment\" \nand the fear of missing out (FOMO) on the next (Austrian) bitcoin.\n\nWhat Trolly McTrollface says to \"ICOs are like Bitcoin / BTC\":\n\n![](i/trolly-icos-btc.png)\n\n\n\n## Austrian Blockchain Tokens\n\n_Decentralized blockchain solution for i(nteractive video) gaming.
