What is an ICO?
The term ICO comes from the words «Initial Coin Offering» — that is, the initial distribution of coins. A crypto-currency ICO is one of the ways of attracting investors’ funds by selling a certain number of new coins. Also, we sse the term «ICO token» also, and although these processes are conceptually similar, you should not confuse crypto-currencies and tokens.

Acquisition of crypto-currencies or tokens by ICO is much more profitable than on an exchange. Their price will be much lower. But it’s important to understand the project. Before buying, you need:
