Dear @everyone
Thank you to everyone who decided to visit this post and share your view (or perhaps learn something) on this particulary interesting subcject: future of LCO (Listed Coin Offering)
How many of you ever heard about LCO's? Guys from @blockshine have some great points that this can be huge topic in upcoming year or two.
Personally I've been mostly focused on STO's (Security Token Offering) which I believed will be next big thing.
Since many you have solid knowledge about those topics, I would love to ask about your view on that topic. In particular if you could share your knowledge and opinion related to LCO.
I read and reply to every valuable comment.
Yours

Since we are invited to share our scam stories, I bought Infinite coin a year ago. It is now coin #1,895. When it got kicked off my exchange my holding literally disappeared. Oh well, lesson learned. My new rule, do not buy coins below top 100. There are way too many scams. Trying to find the next big thing in ICO’s is not finding a needle in a haystack. It is trying to find a needle in a stack of other needles. The LCO concept is interesting because, if I understand it correctly, it will be a synergy between traditional investing concepts only using the new blockchain platform. Evolution if you will. Uh oh, technology overload alert. Dam, my head is spinning.

This model could work in the USA but it will clearly come under, and must comply with, SEC regulations. The entire idea behind mosy crypto followers is to escape government regs. This is where the hostility may arise.

I mean it literally disappeared. The exchange said it would no longer support the coin and I needed to move to another exchange. When I tried to transfer the coin to another exchange it just disappeared right before my eyes. I could not find it in my history. It was like it never existed. It was not enough money to waste any more time fooling with it. I transferred every other coin I had on that exchange and never went back. Lesson learned. As for difference between LCO and STO, that is above my pay grade.

Hey Piotr, LCO, i have never heard of it, i need to dive in some more .... but im a little sceptical ... it sounds to me more like established companies trying to riding the crypto wave. Also, what are these new lco backed by? Just the name of the ‘established’ company? And if these established companies need new capital, how good are they doing irl? Those companies probably wont do an exit scam so quick, but when an established company needs a new revenue stream, that often means they are not really doing so well ... so what happens to your lco coin, if said company goes bankrupt ... yeah your lco is just as worthless as any not functioning crypto ...and thats why, imo STO is one of the next big things. Because it is backed by something, ... furthermore ... isnt the kodak coin, released last year the same concept? oh and btw ... i’m going to start a movement that will change the world when the manifesto is there ... i might need your help

hi @elektropunkz, @blockshine
We do actually need established companies getting involved. It's hard to say that they are trying to ride the crypto wave, since this wave died a long time ago.
From my understanding both LCO and STO will offer some sort of investors-protection (will be backed by assets). Am I right @blockshine?
Buying part of ownership is a huge change. That's something that ICO has been lacking.
Not really. Your logic would means that all those companies on stock market are not doing so well. Companies are looking for investors to expand. That's pretty much the way it is most of the time. Almost always.
Finally we agree on something haha :)

No scam experiences if it comes to crypto currencies, just a big lost (of the investment I could afford me). It is not quite clear/I can not paint a picture at it what "great" change it will bring. To be honest I do not believe anything will change this year. It feels to me we are in a period of keep on trying to keep both feet on the ground.

Yes, I'm from Lahore and Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan (but Lahore is considered as most progressed city).
Yes, crypto is banned in Pakistan but there are still some people who are traders. So, strictness is not that much.
My main point is that people even don't know about it.
I heard about bitcoin during summer vacation of 2017 but ignored it.
Then I came across the plateform of steemit and learnd that there are some voting bots. But I didn't had money to invest so I talked to one of my friend who I knew was involved in crypto trading. So I bought some from him (almost september 2018).
That's whole story.
As far as strictness is concern, there are a lot of things that are not allowed but no strict order from government.

This is very interesting from a technical perspective! I think that in markets where traditional financial products have had limited penetration, such as Latin America, this sort of LCO set-up could allow both businesses and technically savvy investors to 'leap-frog' over entrenched interests and, in some cases, government regulations, likely to the benefit of all parties involved.
I am very interested in learning more! According to my interpretation of the law here, this model would work for a company in Colombia.1
The financial superintendent would regulate these companies and since they already operate under these regulations, all of the relevant information is already transparent.

Hi @ecoinstant
I just came across to your reply. I followed the link you posted which took me to an article written by a well known law firm in Colombia.
What i know is that financial superintendent only regulates financial institutions. Non-financial companies are out of their scope, therefore are "free" to operate with cryptos, under the limitations of other laws, and probably without being transparent, unless they get supervised/regulated by superintendent of societies.
I'm a not a law expert, but I think there is a lot space for interpretation and misunderstanding. Sometimes Colombian laws are tricky so is better to look for an advisor in case you want to run a business related to crypto, like @blockshine
On the other hand, i feel Colombian banks don't like cryptos and can close your bank account, as happened with other people.
Hope this helps!!
I also want to learn more in the subject

Thank you for this great response! Small steps are going to be very important to the first movers in Colombia and Latin America in general.
We do know that 'unregulated' freedom is not the normal state of the world, but until some companies start working I don't think any Colombian government is going to make moves to regulate or 'deal with' something that is not yet happening in the country. So it must be a company or a group that take on the challenge.
As you say, misunderstanding is such an important keyword in this space, because from my view there is not only quite a bit of misunderstanding around criptodivisas and blockchain, there are many levels of misunderstandings!

I don't know of any company in Colombia that is doing an LCO, but I do think that the law would allow it. As I responded to @caribehub's great comment, I think that in Latin America in general, the private sector is going to have to take a tentative lead in the implementation of these new technologies, as the governments leave open spaces precisely because they are likely unwilling to take missteps trying to regulate activities and markets that are only beginning to take form in their territory.

Hey @blockshine, great post... I was recommended to it by @crypto.piotr :D
In terms of scam stories, it doesn't have to do with an ICO, but more so with pyramid schemes that have taken place around the area I live in. There was two brothers who decided to start a pyramid scheme by getting all my friends to buy into bitcoin and other start up ICO's with there references and told them if they reached certain levels of referrals, they would get a percentage increase in there profits...
But obviously, it all didn't work out and a lot of people lost a lot of money because at the time, Bitcoin fell by a big margin. This really got a few of my friends that took part in this angry, because they were gullible and wanted an easy way to make money.
Luckily, I was able to talk a few of them out of it at the beginning, saying that they were at the bottom of the chain and will end of making a loss.
With regards to LCO's and STO's, I will definitely have a look at them, it seems like it would be a worthwhile venture :D

Yes we saw a boom with the ICO market, did many of those projects see the light of day? no. Did we lose money? yes? Did we gain invaluable lessions for the future? Yes!
I think STO's, ILO's and LCO's are great medium-term solutions to bring in both private and institutional money into blockchain but this should not be where the money comes from. The money needs to come from providing services of value not creating more speculative assets on the blockchain
I think this is a great step into getting money in and starting to take accountability for projects and also hopefully take power away from centralised exchanges. We havnt figured out this blockchain thing yet but once we do and the first few companies actually producing real world value come to fruition its going to be a gold rush like we've never seen before

To be honest in the beginning I think it’s more of a gimmick than anything else! Companies are seeing hey this blockchain thing is getting funding let’s get in on it, but the true test is going to be can they deal with the transparency investors will have now and secondly how much of the “blockchain” concept will be used? Will it be decentralized? Will it be an open system? Will the tokens be pegged to assets of the company?
There’s just too many questions I think this will be another experimental phase where each company has their own take on this that they feel works to their favour
I’m not fully convinced but if it can bring more money and confidence into crypto it’s for the greater good I suppose

Although I think LCO are an improvement over ICO, I think the concept arrives too late. The investors are so burn out after the ICO bubble that this won´t work.
it's time for the ICO´s to die. A massive purge of crpytocurrencies and tokens is necessary before the market starts to recover. Only very few dozens can survive.

Governments are starting to decide to allow ERC20s to represent securities, its a simple process of tokenizing a security.
Ohio has began recognizing that tokenized corporate shares can represent ownership of shares in a corporation. This means that Aragon would be recognized as a legitimate organization in Ohio. That's pretty cool.
I would say that it is exciting for the future price of Ethereum for sure. Especially when derivatives end up going on Ethereum.

Honestly, I'm not sure I've heard of LCO before this post, but in my view it is the same as a STO or possibly a SEC "listed" coin offering, opposed to the unregulated ones. But a listed coin offering is only a tokenized security that is going through an IPO. Whereas a STO would just be a record of a security put on the blockchain. Apple stocks have already been put on Ethereum as a tokenized security, its nothing special, just a token representing individual Apple stocks.
This is a great development for securities because currently securities are "stateless" in technical terms, while putting the securities on Ethereum gives them "state" which is better. An article by an Ethereum developer pointed out this key value of stated objects vs. stateless and the value it has for the average person.

I got this link from @crypto.piotr but have no experience with LCOs.
I find this an interesting concept in that it's like buying shares, but without the Stockbroker if the Token is sold directly in exchange for any major fiat currency.
I remember in the '70s there were still listed Corporations that would also sell shares directly, the drawback being that you had to travel there cash in hand. The listed company coin offering provides the opportunity to take this concept global.
The advantages I see is a Token initially based on the core business of the issuer and it's value possibly less dependent on speculators if managed properly. If the Token then takes off on it's own, it can be added to the core business of the company.
Will it take off in 2019? Maybe there is almost no alternative; just remember that in the current markets, value evaporates, at least from the perspective of potential buyers. If the Token can be kept out of derivatives trading it may be a confidence builder from my personal perspective, even if that would somewhat limit it's potential gains but also losses in the markets.
I look forward to seeing how this works out. Thank you for your time, greetings!

Not too familiar but after @crypto.piotr sent this to us I dug in a little bit.
I believe LCO's may be a potential replacement for ICO's only in terms of issuing ownership tokens i.e. securities. When we talk about ICO's in general, utility tokens still are a big use for them. And it isn't fair to force these private companies to be so transparent (unless we are buying a piece of the ownership).
Nevertheless, I would like to see much for development in terms of network infrastructure and security before I would truly put my money to work in a security offering. I agree when you say tokenization is the future, but I also think we need to take baby steps. Rather than look for an alternative immediately, let us find ways to make sure there are companies that actually will put our capital to use for a good purpose.
Security tokens have a bright future, but we cannot immediately run over to that future. To have a prosperous future, we must focus on developing the present.

I agree. Tokenizing ownership will indeed revolutionise markets. It will help people in areas of low penetration gain access to opportunities.
My point was in essence; we have to focus on developing these systems to a better extent. Our focus cannot be to shift from dematerialized shares to tokenized shares in a short span. By focusing on developing the infrastructure to issue and trade these tokens, we will set ourselves up for an ecosystem that can sustain in the long run. I wholeheartedly agree with the point you put forth, but I see infrastructure development to be an imperative step for today rather than looking to immediately tokenize shares.
Slow and steady wins the race. Accelerating too fast causes a dangerous crash.

I (the person managing the Ambr Global account on STEEM IT) got personally scammed by 2 companies called ICO Headstart, and eCharge. They hired me, paid me in worthless tokens, then did the exit scam trick! Their tokens they paid me are useless, and will never land on the exchange. I believe you can already smell an exit scam, usually the CEO will not share some details, details you need to take away your concerns. Nice article, I wish you all the best, upvoted and resteemed!

Hi @blockshine, this is certainly good news for crypto market.
Whilst I think LCOs have the potential to be a big thing in the future, I don't think it will be as early as 2019. The reason being, listing securities is a long and arduous process and having listed a company, directors are obliged to comply with stringent regulations, which in itself could be an impediment. I have known of companies de-listing themselves just to be relieved from these hassles.
I remember reading a post on whether STOs (Security Token Offerings) would eventually replace ICOs. Just wandering what are the differences between STOs and LCOs?

Dear @blockshine
Thank you for this amazing reply.
So bottom line is, that some ulitily need to be created in the first place, right? So let's say you have existing company which only wants to raise more funds and sell part of their ownership (the way we could do it with stock markets). Or same company only were interested in raising money via IPO.
And this company doesnt have a need to develop utility token at all. In that case STO should be solution, is that correct?
Should LCO be considered replacement for ICO? Im still trying to undertand it.

Hi @crypto.piotr
Based on my understanding, an LCO is a financial instrument for representing the bond, warrant or rights issues of a listed company, while a STO commonly represents the underlying shares of a company. And yes, I am from Singapore. :)

Dear @crypto.piotr
I think the main difference between STO and LCO lies in the ownership of the company and the company's right to issue dividends.
In the case of a STO, it being a security, it gives the holders of the security tokens a share in the ownership of the company. In addition, the company may pay dividends to these holders of the security tokens, if deemed appropriate.
Whereas, in the case of a LCO, the utility token is not a security and therefore the token holders do not have a share in the company and are not entitled to dividends the company may pay to its shareholders. Of course, if the token holder happens to also hold the shares of the company, he will be entitled to the dividends paid by the company as a shareholder but not as a token holder.
@blockshine, would appreciate you input to confirm, amend or expound on my comments above.

@blockshine, it appears that a new form capital is born.
Besides debt capital and equity capital, now listed companies have another choice to raise capital, which is neither debt nor equity - the LCO capital.
From the perspective of a listed company, the company doesn't have the burden of a debt (the token holders are not lenders) or the traditional responsibility to its shareholders (the token holders are not shareholders).
If a token holder has concerns about the management of the company, he cannot attend the shareholders meeting to voice his concerns.
However, I predict that in the future, these developments may eventually lead to amendments to the Company Acts of the respective jurisdictions to provide better safeguards to the token holders. Who knows, the legislators may even create a third type of shares, besides the ordinary shares and preferential shares, calling it, say, crypto shares!
Alternatively, in future, you may even see companies treating token holders as lenders and providing security to them in the form of debentures! These token holders will then get a fixed interest against their loan secured by the debenture whilst being able to participate in the token economy.
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that LCOs are bad. They are certainly better than ICOs. I am just brainstorming to predict the future possibilities.

Never heard of LCO before but I think this is the future. You are absolutely right that ico’s are almost dead now.
I was spammed in crypto only once. It was an exchanger who took my money but never gave me back crypto and money.
I think one should make a crypto which is pegged to USD forever and then make a social media like steem. This will surely interest people and that social media will go to the moon.

The legal framework in my country is all in chaos. Laws are sanctioned without the slightest attachment to the constitution or the norms. For example, recently the legislature passed a law that practically eliminates freedoms in cyberspace.
So pretending that any company finds a legal basis to tokenize its actions would be an unprecedented fact.

The truth is that I have no experience with ICO and the scams they talk about because I am not an investor. (I hope to be in the future) but what I am impressed by all this is the overwhelming speed in which these technologies move.
Actually this is the first time I read about the LCO, for me it is a novelty, I just hope to get enough knowledge on the subject and the necessary resources to also venture as an investor in crypts, for now I am dedicated to read them and learn from you everything you need to grow.

Hi @blockshine, thank you for your post. I came across your post via @crypto.piotr. I enjoyed reading your post.
As @crypto.piotr pointed out earlier I am also interested in STO's. Your project sounds interesting to me.
While reading your post I came across those lines:
I have to admit that I am not convinced by this statement. I googled this company since I had no clue who they are. Reading that the company was founded in 2000 let me raise my eyebrow.
A traditional company in my opinion is a institution which exists at least 50 years. Companies like Mercedes, BMW, Bosch or Unilever would fit that profile in my opinion.
Once they issue a token, the news will go viral and the general public would bring back trust to the Blockchain. In my opinion the world is scared at the moment and projects which can provide some sort of security and legitimatcity will succeed in the future.
I liked your post and am interested in the upcomming blog posts. I will leave an upvote and a follow.

Fortunately I have not experienced any SCAMS or not affected by scammers. Some scammers tried to scam me but I was aware about those kind of situation and how to avoid it so saved my self.
I know little about ICO & STO. But LCO is the word or concept I never heard of. I have read your full article on it but still I have so many doubts and so many queastions - I will surely research on this topic.
According me STO is the big thing for 2019 & 2020. Can't say about LCO because I don't know that much about it. I don't have idea how they will backed LCO and other things. Can't say for sure that this will avoid the situation that we had in ICO (surely better than the ICO but still riskier like ICOs). There is no doubt that after knowing about LCO more companies will enter in crypto world & main reason will be it's new concept and with it's terminology people will think that it's 100% secure and all - so people will invest in this for sure.

Interesting concept for sure as it seems for come slightly short of the hurdles of STOs but will the transparency on providing information and being accountable to participants which are probably the best aspects of the STO. It would be great to see and learn the regulatory framework created for this concept as it could be a needed bridge to have a clear distinction of what have been traditional capital raises versus the crowdfunding concept that blockchain technology has innovated upon.

First, thanks for sharing this @crypto.piotr.
Secondly, for me (please elaborate @blockshine if I am not getting it right), this is ICO's with finally the necessary "bridge of commitment" from the law. Declaring that the LCO'od assets are in fact bound as legal ownership.
My doubts though are (aside from the software development responsibilities and code disputes), in similar to other users comments, what is the asset considered in financial terms?
Are you saying it can be any of: "cash, debt and equity"
If so, this will be the same as a "normal coin" for purposes of taxes, etc. Which brings me to the next question, that is, who sets the initial value? The company value? will these represent company shares? usually in the fiat world, this translates to the sale of an asset or business value, that people can either estimated valuations or actually validate real numbers.
Because on most ICO's, there is no such way to predict the value of a token before the ICO finishes. Allowing a set of rules (usually from the whitepaper) that dictate how the price can flow during the ICO, some use static capped valorization, others infinite dynamic prices, etc...
Would be interesting to understand how you propose this via LCO's.
I am curious about the generalized idea, you exposed. For me, if this solves crypto bounding rights (making governments to easily accept the technology) that are so difficult to adapt to crypto (usually resulting in heavy and complex KYC and AML rules that do not necessarily are in compliance with the technology), then it could change the scope of many things in crypto. Especially on the contracts side, where I would expect certain standards of compliance to be enforced (in order to be considered an LCO). Especially because of the interest in how something like this could be completely separate from code development and at the same time possible to incorporate via blockchain via automatic procedures, similar to Ricardian contracts on EOS.
Anyway, you made me think about all the experiments people do with software, and how crazy hard and political this could become.
one thing is for sure, the job demand for a lawyer, financial analyst, or a political figure will skyrocket if cryptos become so mainstream legal as this could be - not for me though.

Hi, how does this work for a centralised entity legally? As far as i understand, equity implies ownership. So what value does lco offer to investor, over a delta 1 derivative on the shares?
I see why for decentralised entities, tokens, via pos, can imply a say in decision making. There is no legal clarity on where tokens fit in cap structure even for decentralised entities. So it is even more confusing for me with respect to a centralised entity.
Can you throw some light?

Equity does the same thing for an investor. to me LCO is way for a company to raise a little bit of capital, and then create a derivative that lets investors bet on the value of the company/solution.
Anyway, I am sure there is a set of investors looking for ICOs/LCOs and may be for companies, LCOs offer value as means to raise capital. I do see sense in decentralised entity doing ico, as tokens may have voting rights or the equivalent of that. But I am not representative of the entire investor community.
Thanks for your response. Wish you good luck!

I didn't heard of the term LCO until now. What is the big difference between LCO and STO?
Are LCO only regulated and analysed by private firms or do they also need to go thru government regulations?
It seems for me that all these new comcepts are trying to improve the relation between Developers, investors and government regulations.
So, if LCO are only projects that are not defined as security and they are "allowed' to collect money from the public than I think LCO is a good thing, but that depends on who is controlling and anlysing those companies.
The other critical fact is that tokens can change there legal status within the development process. So if a coin starts at LCO stage it still can change the fumctions of the token that it might become an STO in the future.
Overall I'm not really impressed by now of all these different regulatory concepts, because the big advantage about crypto is decentralization, privacy, transparancy on the blockchain and openness to all users. But all those criteria will suffer under government regulations with STO in my opinon.

It is possible that LCO will be an excellent alternative to ICO. The technology is really new, and it takes time to study. If it can show its best side, it can become the spark that can provoke the mass introduction of blockchain technology, and a new trend to put an end to the collapse of the market in 2018.

Hi @blockshine I never hear about LCO before but after going through the details you mentioned its looking risk free and could become popular. We all have to agree that ratio of successful ICO is too less while there are many scams and we need to be very careful while investing in any ICO. I can't say whether 2019 will be for LCO or not but looking at the base of LCO this can attract attention of investors in future. This can happen within this year or may take some time.

Thanks for conducting a nice debate on ICO vs STO vs LCO. It is a healthy discussion. Most of them have seen ICO and STO. But LCO is relatively new to so many. Even it is a new topic for me. I have so many queries in this LCO. I understood that it will go for public offering after tokenisation(correct me if I am wrong). But how should an individual decide whether it is good one or bad. Even in ICO so many shit coins have given 10x returns during the last bull market. Does that means this is acceptable? Infact bitconnect has also given some extreme returns after ICO. But it has proved to be exit scam which happened after the tokenisation.
I believe some centralised regulations needs to be there in this space as there were in ipo's. With regulation in place I believe atleast the scammers will be reduced drastically. Then we can name it either ICO, STO or LCO. Name doesn't matter after that.
As we haven't completed the bear market I don't think any of the new listings will be successful in raising the required capital during token offerings.
Thank you @blockshine and @crypto.piotr . These type of discussions will be healthy for the market.

Dear Piotr and @blockshine,
In my opinion, though there are a lot of companies adapting the LCO, it would take a lot of time for the general public- especially those who are cautious with their investments to fully accept them because:
the company needed to prove that they are trustworthy and that takes time to cultivate
that the LCO, unlike the rest of the "novelty" coins out there have shelf life and outstanding security
Aside from Japan, the company should cultivate another country to gain the general acceptance of the populace. The Japanese are more open to "new" things because of their endless innovations. So another country preferably not as tech savvy as Japan to build the reputation and confidence in the LCO is a must.
I have no personal experience with LCO but I think that at this stage- most probably within this first quarter of 2019, its value and general adaptation outside Japan would depend on how BTC performs. Yes. Its difficult to accept but for most of us, me included, all other tokens or any block chain related currencies are still related to BTC.
If LCO is able to build its reputation, I think that even if BTC will plunge later this year, LCO will not be affected as there will be some around who could attest to its quality, reliability and security.

A year ago i had a phase of jumping through hoops of the endless parade of ICO’s and airdrops. Havent really checked my erc-20 ether wallet to see if any of the promises were delivered but am not holding my breathe. After a while the notion of joining airdrops seemed more of coming out party for fledgling businesses that may or may not survive a half year. I quit joining airdrops due to the fact that the telegram app was harboring and protecting straight up scammer thiefs. Personally i have been scammed to the point of no return. Genesis mining, hashflare. Eobot. The once reputable names turned out to be the worst. Maybe its not their fault maybe its the rothchild/saudi/bilderberger control of the fed. They print as much cheap usa money as they need to undermine the true price of bitcoin and i am pretty sure they will continue to do so until the world economy is completely wrecked. What to do? Hold on for dear life until TH/s of sha 4.0 lifelong contracts dry up and disappear. Damn that was a year and a half of flipping dimes into quarters. Yeah i learned alot. I learned that computer folk are some of the most heartless greedy people on the planet. Free shrugs and smdh. Still i believe in blockchain. Its just we need the authoritative justice of A.I.

Interesting. While I find the ICO concept great because it gives anyone the potential to embark on the journey of creating a solution they see to a problem in true capitalistic fashion (lack of government regulation, which isn’t a bad thing necessarily but can be in unfortunate cases) I am hoping that this new concept is going to retain the free market principles of the free market. It’s important to balance between real free markets and businesses.
What determines what kind of company qualifies for an LCO? Does it need to have an IPO? That would unfortunately limit the ability of small businesses to try this out.
I am not advocating for people to steal but we need to understand that ‘regulation’ aka government, isn’t the answer to markets. If anything governments ruin markets by giving favor to those with lots of money that can afford to do all of the necessary steps quickly.

Hi @blockshine.
Thank you for this article. It's great to see this new business model. I'm going to take some time to go deeper in this topic and come back later.
For now I can tell you that I lived in Colombia. Here some authorities have made some pronouncements basically saying that 1) financial institutions can not hold crypto 2) crypto is not legal tender 3) crypto gainings/income are taxed.
However, we do not a have a specific legal framework related to ICo, cryptos or whatever thing related to blockchain so it is like a gray zone.
I used to trade crypto with a exchanger called buda.com which closed operations of Fiat deposit/withdrawals in colombia because banks suspended their accounts so users couldn't convert crypto to Fiat. Banks simply "don't like" cryptos.
I think This can be avoided by having clear laws on the subject but currently we don't have them.
However our president is a pro-blockchain man. This brings some light of hope in the politic sphere.
Maybe if our lawmakers perceived that Colombian economy could be improved with something like LCO, they would consider to regulate the topic.
A lawmaker already tried to pass a bill although it was a failed attempt because it was poorly structured. Let's see if something better will be proposed.
I'm not an attorney or expert in law but that's what i perceived.
I Hope this helps.

I know what tokens are and am sure that they are going to be huge in the future. Right here on Steem we have Acifit right now doing well and I see a lot of success for them in the future. About the rest, I am learning and appreciate your post.

Last August I put some money in ICO BDAQ... I was really excited because it was my first ICO investment. The project dealt with helping us invest in various ICO projects and withdraw the money before its listed in any exchange, because it said there are not many ways we can learn about ICO's and once we invest in it, its like very unliquid and we have to wait till the token gets listed in the exchange to withdraw the investment money.
https://www.facebook.com/bdaqio/
https://twitter.com/bdaqio?lang=en
I invested some 25 dollars, and I got message, emails, FB message that I get so many bdaq tokens. However, I was never able to see these tokens. Once, they told through FB chat that you have to log into metamask and see tokens, there was some procedure for it. Alas, it came 0 BDAq tokens for me. Later when I asked them through FB , they told wait until they prepare detailed document with instructions. Then I contacted them in Nov in FB, no response, I even messaged their twitter account, no response. They are not active looks like. Now I am thinking if they were spam, but theres ok reviews on that ICO everywhere. I knew about that ICO through this article - https://cryptocoin.news/icos/bdaq-ico-review-free-flow-investor-liquidity-platform-for-early-token-trading-14360/ , it told about how to spot spam ICO...so I thought this ICO should be ok... but no idea what happened to my bdaq tokens): ... it really leaves a doubth on trusting projects, I am reading a lot about each crypto I plan to invest thesedays and recently was heartbroken to know TRX, maybe a hyped coin, like that Justin Sun even copied whitepaper of other crypto projectsly mostly ETH I guess to Tron, and told lot of lies about it, it was like my fav crypto I would have invested on, infact I had some money on it last year until I withdrew it all coz of crypto meltdown. Since I am not technical as in I don't know how the blockchain of the crypto is, I go by whatever I read in news and that's bad approach I guess. One has to go more indepth. Still, TRX should do well for a long while, that marketing of SUN is working, but I don't trust it, nor do I trust XRP now, because even though its used for value transfers in banks, I feel its a payment gateway, but I know it could also go up, when bull market is in, coz its not proved its a security, but I don't believe its more than a payment gateway.So,yeah what you thought one crypto was earlier, changes. Anyway, LCO as it has listed companies that share their financial details with investors its good I guess. Good luck with the venture.

I think its solid because blockchain has many practical use cases. In tracking produce, movement of goods in supply chain, as ledger for accounting purposes, its all going to grow.
I also think that BTC is going to grow. Crypto startups have a promising future as well(: but its a challenging road ahead. Now, ost of us are more blockchain and crypto savvy, and would be more careful in making investment decisions I guess.

I wasted my precious time taking up a lot of ICO with the hope that in the later days their prices will rise and I will sell them off subsequently. But unfurtunately, non of them is making the wave. Almost all have been cast off.
Lesson: Never waste your precious time taking up something without proper research and investigation.

Sure ICOs are dying. And it's all because of regulations. Blockchain technology is revolution for itself. By regulating it and adding many masks over it, adding codes for your own profit...that's not what blockchain was meant for. But the main problem is that users just don't know how to handle it if it's not extremly user-friendly, and easy to use. And most ICOs knew that very well.
We are moving in circle -regulations or anarchy? and you can see that in one video where Gidi Bar Zakay takes the side of regulation and Jeff Berwick takes the side of Anarchy. Link:
and about direct p2p transactions (watch also his other presentations)
Do not forget, people are pretty well informed today. So any company, fake ICO, government, central bank...who tries to rob average user, just helps to make decentralisation bigger and bigger. And that's good.

Sure. I mean, I know where that tax money is going. More than 90% of it funds the bond market. And wars. Not the schools, healthcare, culture, .... while all the currencies are worth less every day. So I'm more into anarchy. I still remember, when Obama said something like...."oh this blockchain is really good invention. But wait, how can we tax all the money that goes through?" :D Those may not have been his words, but I remember he said something like this. And I just laughed my ass off. And at the same time I thought....yes, this is what we really need. System where government and banks will be unable to profit from usual Joe.

First of all thank you to @crypto.piotr for lforwarding me this article.
And here's my comment.
Though I might agree that ICO of circa 2017 is just history, we learned much on how to do things in the blockchainosphere, and from the reviews of companies undergone an ICO, who halted their projects if not totally abandoned it due to the bear markets.
New model of crypto introduction will be developed.
Come's in, the LCO.
For me, LCO will be more appealing to crypto investors since more regulatory transparency have been included.
A legitimate company duly registered company structure with legal and regulatory entity.
Where the corporate owners of the token sale will be more liable to the outcome of the projects.
That will be a healthy development in the blockchain company of the future.
Let us observe how this model will work.

Scam ICO has put away the investor from the cryptocurrencies but one thing we forget that only very small percent of people are aware of crytpocurrencies and we have a large market to tap.
I guess investor will like the concept and it might bring more investor to LCO.

My dear friend @blockshine , although I have no much awareness about this topic but after reading your article I am trying to put up our thought. I am not sure that I am exact according to your topic but I try to contribute little bit ! Via @crypto.piotr
Perhaps all of us investors are bearing this economic loss. The only reason for which is to go towards the continuous pit of the cryptocurrency market. The value of any object increases only when its demand is high. Steemit BlockChann is a platform where bloggers are doing business without investing in anything. Although the listed coin offering is brand new to me, there is always doubt in our mind about BlockChain Security. As you all know that cryptopia.co.nz has been hacked, this incident is questioning our security system how secure our personal data is. As the figures show, there is a loss of about $ 3 billion. The effect of which will undoubtedly be above all the exchanges.

I think probably the best way to handle an ICO at the moment is to create a smart contract that takes investment from users in Ether. Have the smart contract locked in such as way as that the developers must put in a request in order to spend the investments .
The investors get to vote on whether the request should be accepted or rejected with the investors with the greatest number of tokens having the greatest impact on the vote.
Take for instance a request, "We want to spend $50 to get a new logo".
If a higher number of token holders vote to accept this than vote against it, then the developers can withdraw $50 worth of Ether to purchase a new logo. If they do not deliver then the investors are less likely to accept their next spending request unless an apology and explanation is given that satisfies them.
There could be a date by which the project should be finished and if the project has still not be finished and the investors are not happy with the outcome thus far then their ether can be returned to them by the smart contract.
This should be relatively simple to implement. Not sure what to call it. Maybe a DaoCo (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation Coin Offering).

Hmmm I am really not sure if I have got it right? So the LCO are like a mix of STO showing ownership of stake in a tokenized company and also can give huge gains like that of ICOs. Hope I am right?

Hello,@blockshine. @ crypto.piotr invited me to get to know this new company and, in my opinion, the LCOs will be more stable in the long term and I hope you will be successful in your cryptographic journey.
People want security for their investment and LCO can provide what they want, according to what I understood in this post.
I wish you many successes, greetings from Venezuela.

I searched on google but i found nothing about LCO..
There is already something like this or this is only a project?
Can you write an article on steemit that just explain what an LCO is?
If you do it, please put the link on this article, so people can easily get educated about it! :)

Listed coin offering is a great idea and could manage to help investors and traders get rid off shady management team. However my mind questions real estate getting into crypto industry since I don't want another Greater Depression. Maybe you can make another post describing how this company really works; their safeguards about using cryptocurrency, mode of payment and the like.

One of my worries is; if people collateralize their land, homes and other real properties they have by taking loans with cryptocurrency as the medium of transaction and with high hopes of increased value in the future. We will not be able to predict what could happen in the future, its driven by the sentiments of market participants.
In the point of viewpoint of a realtor, what if the cryptocurrency payments will experience an extended bear cycle? How will they be able to hedge such risk? How will they account for these losses? How will they able to value the properties with constantly fluctuating prices? Will they allow double mortgages with payments backed by cryptocurrencies? Will they allow renewal of loans? And others.
It can affect the global financial system if the devaluation of cryptocurrencies will happen for a long time especially the banking institutions where they will be forced to write off the loans, unpaid interest allowing them to lose millions of dollars and couldn't pay off other depositors.
Also, the real estate industry where they will not be able to sell the properties at a decent amount of price to cover the costs of development.
In conclusion, if real estate industry will get into cryptos, companies should consider the stability of valuation of the properties and hedging of risks when using it as mode of economic transaction.
