What is DeFi going to do for the unbanked?

What makes crypto valuable?
Every crypto project promises something. Some offer tokens designed purely for speculation, while others aim to transform entire industries. But how do you know which crypto projects are most likely to deliver value for both investors and real-world customers?

I WAS DISINVITED FROM CC FORUM
A few days ago I started talking to community members about the fact that CC Forum is enabling scammers by inviting them to be speakers at their event. I was planning to call out the scammers as part of my speech there, and I was also debating whether I should call out the organizers for not conducting any vetting of participants and therefore potentially legitimizing scammers and unscrupulous operators.

TRUE STORY: We don’t own the money in our bank accounts
Another person might not fight for a few hundred Euros worth of charges that should not have been made, which means so many people lose their money because banks falsely charge them and nobody does anything about it. Not the governments, not the regulators, not the customers.
Fight To Fame: another blockchain fraud
A cryptocurrency project planning on an early June token sale with grand schemes to have competition-reality-show-like fights around the world, is in fact created and supported by an Interpol-wanted Chinese fugitive alleged to have defrauded billions from ordinary Chinese in 2016 in a massive financial Ponzi scheme. Additionally -- and completely counter to their claims – the project does not include Mike Tyson.
Your concise guide IEO marketing and running an IEO
After quietly flying below the radar since December 2017, initial exchange offerings (IEOs) have suddenly picked up a great deal of interest in Spring 2019. If you are considering an IEO for your cryptocurrency project, you probably have some questions about how to market it. Below, find our top advice on IEO marketing.
Can Chainstarter be trusted?
Misuse of investor funds - I reviewed a lot of emails and open letters and blog posts in the course of preparing this article, and there was one thing that both Mr. Ayton and Mr. Lofts can agree on: 21 Million made a loan of funds to Chainstarter, the ICO advisory company that Mr. Ayton and Mr. Lofts were also co-founders of.
STOs are real, and they’re here to stay
There’s nothing like a good debate to get everyone to think about and solidify their positions, so I’d like to say a few things in defense of the existence and value of STOs.
Changelly and ChangeNOW controversy
One recent example of a customer seeking justice by trying to expose an exchange that allegedly wronged him is the case of Bitcointalk user ni23457. He states that the ChangeNOW exchange has been withholding his funds for months now, without a valid reason. After scouring the internet for information about the platform and its leaders, the user pointed out to its connection to other crypto businesses.
ICO rating site ICOholder caught red handed, willingly promoting SCAM ICO Tkeycoin (TCD)
It is important that the crypto community identify and dissociate from the ‘bad apples’ in our midst. We looked into this and were also shocked to learn that ICOmarks (ICOmarks.com) - an outfit that claims to “research” new ICOs - also falls horribly short of the mark. We discuss this and more in this blog post.
Interview with Justas Pikelis of Monetha
I recently had the chance to sit down with Justas Pikelis, the co-founder of Monetha. We had a lengthy conversation about what Monetha is doing, and what contributed to the success of their ICO. I think you'll find his insights into ICO marketing and community building very interesting, especially if you are considering your own ICO, STO, or TGE in the near future.
How is Cointelligence different?
We’re not like the strict professor at university who likes giving low grades, we just believe in fairness and it would be wrong to deceive the investors by giving false ratings to ICO projects.
Anti-Semitic, Violent, and Bullying Activity Crawls into Crypto Community
These disgusting images should not have been allowed to be added to the platform, but this goes to show that either Telegram does not screen their user created content, or they simply do not care.
Tech journalists and responsibility
Due diligence isn't just in the hands of would-be ICO investors. It falls on all of us. Journalists. ICO raters. Crypto experts. Bloggers. We all have a responsibility to research what we're talking about, to dig deeper when something doesn't seem to be right, and to call-out the lies, scams, and corruption that we see.
The road more traveled
It seems that schisms will always happen, and now we have the schism which occurred at block 478,559, when there was a permanent divergence from the previous version of the blockchain, and nodes running previous versions ceased to be accepted by the newest version. Welcome to the world, Bitcoin Cash!
In data we trust - but which data should we trust?
Right now the cryptosphere is largely still ruled by the brains and hearts of entrepreneurs. People create projects because they really love the idea they want to broach to the world, and they then use their intelligence to make the best of their offer. The machines will take over sooner or later however because that's just the way it is.
Where should you publish your crypto blog?
For companies that host their blog on Medium, users only spend a short amount of time on the company’s website. Instead of staying to read blog articles, users are sent off to another website. If a user arrived to a company’s website via a Google organic search, sending the user to another website may actually hurt that website’s ranking.

Thanks to wide-spread ICO advertising bans on almost every major online advertising platform, many start-ups have turned to Outbrain and Taboola to market their ICOs.

How Much Investment Is Currently Flowing into ICO Marketing Campaigns?
