First, I want to point out that the word investment may not be the most accurate way to define these transactions.At the end of the day, when you buy a token in an Initial Coin Offering, you are buying access rights or credits to use in a software. Commonly called utility tokens, these have utility solely within a given app.You are not buying any physical asset, or stock, nor any financial product that entitles you to claim dividends or voting rights in the company, so to call it an investment might not be accurate.
