What? This is like every shit coin. Tons of them tank to near zero and deflate. Anyone who thinks these coins are legitimate are fooling themselves. They are built with one core requirement, do just enough to differentiate from other coins, pump it, get out.

The average person can't understand 99% of the specs of these coins, it's all speculation. The whole thing is a ponzi scheme.

I'm sure Bancor couldn't care less about their token price collapsing. They've already got all of the "investors'" money.

In fact, they could just walk away right now instead of carrying on developing the system. The brave new world of ICOs offers no protection against companies failing to follow through on their ICO roadmap. Maybe Bancor could use the token collapse as an excuse to quit now?

Just because some ICOs can be scams is no reason to write off the entire concept as a scam.

The entire concept is a multi level marketing scheme.

The entire concept is a multi level marketing scheme.

And this reductive reasoning can be applied to the stock market or for that matter any cryptocurrency - that doesn't make it right.

Bancor plummeted right after the ICO. It's still above it's all time low, so it's not exactly a new thing. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bancor/

There were plenty of warnings and research about how flawed their product is, including here. The lesson, as always, is caveat emptor.
