Je geweldige idee heeft wat fondsenwerving en\/of investeringen nodig om te gedijen, maar... aan wie vraag je het? De bank? Te veel bureaucratie (en misschien heb je al een onbetaald tegoed). Een crowdfundingplatform? Misschien is dat voldoende... als je genoeg marketing doet en de vergoedingen betaalt. Die dubieuze geldschieter die je op Facebook vond? Het klinkt inderdaad niet al te best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan wat? Is je ontluikende startup gedoemd om voor altijd in je hoofd te blijven? Niet als de cryptocurrency-wereld er iets aan kan doen.

In ruil daarvoor krijgen de investeerders de unieke tokens die voor de ICO zijn gemaakt, die later binnen het toekomstige platform\/product kunnen worden gebruikt of zich (soort van) als een voorraad kunnen gedragen: als het project met succes wordt voltooid, zullen de tokens hun initi\u00eble waarde verhogen .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-762x508.jpg 762w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-773x515.jpg 773w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-554x369.jpg 554w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-306x204.jpg 306w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-368x245.jpg 368w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280-87x58.jpg 87w, https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dices-over-newspaper-2656028_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Afbeelding van Gino Crescoli via Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Samenvattend: is iets dat erg lijkt op crowdfunding, maar dan vooral voor startups, waarbij <a href=\"https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/2020\/08\/18\/what-is-cryptocurrency-why-should-care-reasons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cryptocurrencies<\/a> en zonder nauwelijks enige regelgeving of voorwaarden wereldwijd. Het enige dat de ICO-ontwikkelaars moeten betalen, zijn de (meestal zeer lage) kosten per transactie of smart contract. Dit laatste zou nodig zijn om de fondsen te vergrendelen en op een eerlijkere, transparantere manier onder de investeerders te verdelen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Desondanks zou het team achter het project in de meeste gevallen nog steeds de controle over de fondsen hebben<\/strong>\u2026 en dat is in de meeste gevallen het probleem.
