Title: Too High Bonuses: A Sign Of Scam Projects?
Post by: Kiran Sehzadi on August 10, 2018, 05:29:45 PM
It is important for people to know that, not all projects that steal money and disappear are scams and a lot of projects just offer huge bonuses to entice people into investing in their platform.

Offering too high bonuses is one of the major reasons why some ICOs fail.
Ideally i believe presale bonuses should not be more than 30% and the purpose of presale should be for a project to meet its soft cap, so presale allocations should be capped accordingly.

Offering too high bonuses either locked up or not will still cause some form of uncertainty for investors and prompt weak hands to dump.

Projects that offers 50, 70 or even 100% bonuses should be a no go area for investors.

I think you have reason, in my experience if gap between pre-sale/private sale and ICO is too big (more than 40%) ICO investors are too disadvantaged compared to first investors and price probably will dump after ICO

Yes I side with you. When I was introduce to cryptos I came into contact with one Airdrop which promised about $250. Awwwwchhh, they are just scamming people.

I just want to say that a scam project remains a scam project despite huge bonuses paid to investors or even hunter. I don't think that because a firm paid between 50% to 100% can remove the fact it could tune to be a scam project. Scammer are every where with the purpose of defrauding people, and no matter the percentage of bonus offered to investors, they are bound to execute their desires by any means possible.

Because of those inadequate bonuses, not only for early bird investors, but also for bounty hunters, there are so much scams and so little believe in crypto nowadays.
Yes, when bonuses are too high and inadequate, that's a sign for investors.
But as bounty hunter I also pay attention for bonuses volume.
