RE: Is McAfee's promotion of BEZOP.IO a scam, or just serious incompetence? Is there a difference?
Wow! Also if you look at their Timeline, they want to have everything up and running for business by August 2018. Despite not even having their own wallet yet. I think that is a very naively optimistic approach.
This is my first ICO and i put 1500$ into it. I read about this ICO at McAfee's Twitter page and initially bought it because I knew there was going to be hype around it. But also because I thought this was an interesting project at first glance. Knowing all of this now, I will definetly dump all of my Bezops as soon as it (hopefully ever) hits the market. Either way this is a valuable lesson learned and I sure as hell will not invest in an ICO without researching every single bit of their project. This long-term investment turned into a short-term pump and dump really fast.
I wish us both best of luck and maybe we can even make a profit out of this - or at the very least come out even.
Edit: Btw, they changed their initial market release day from Jan 20th to Jan 23rd.
Thanks for all of this. Very educational as this is my first ICO as well, but I only put in 0.5 ETH. I also rushed in because of McAfee. Won't do THAT again. I never heard of MVP's before. Now I have.
I only started hesitating myself when their support turned out to be so bad. Never a response on their online chat link or even email. They have a Telegram group, but even there, the lone rep from Bezop seems(ed) overwhelmed.
So this is my contribution to a checklist of evaluating ICO's: check out their support before you jump in. See if you can reach them.
My experience with trade.io was much better, even though I couldn't make the minimum deposit. I wish I could have, they seemed much more legit. They responded almost instantly to their online chat. Like an ICO should. Kudos to trade.io.
Anyhow, lessons learned.
