Don't waste your money like that, talked about this on @banditxbt's space today ...

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Rounds Risks - The industry observes that teams may view investors as exit liquidity, potentially leading to scams [1] - The industry highlights the risk of significant losses, citing an example where a token's value dropped by 95% shortly after launch [2] - The industry notes the potential for ICOs to mirror the negative outcomes seen in KOL rounds [2] Past Experiences and Lessons Learned - Early successes in KOL rounds led to widespread FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) into unproven projects [3] - The industry experienced substantial financial losses in KOL rounds due to delays, rug pulls, or project abandonment, with losses reaching high five-figures [3] Due Diligence and Caution - The industry emphasizes the importance of caution and thorough due diligence when dealing with founders, especially anonymous ones [2] - The industry advises investors to be wary of deals, even from individuals with whom they have long-standing relationships [2]

I'm comfy in my MegaETH, Vooi, zkPass ICOs, will add more projects only if I'm really bullish on what they're doing ...

There is a non-zero chance that ICOs end up similar to how KOL rounds ended up.We had some big Ws early on.This led to everyone (myself included) FOMOing into hyped vaporware rounds.I lost high five-figures in KOL rounds that were delayed by a year or more, rugged, or simply went to zero.I think we are still sufficiently early to ICOs, but the deals will get worse going into 2026 as participation is becoming consensus now.And I'm starting to see similar patterns to those that made me and friends burn money ...
