    Slick marketing documents and nice haircuts are not good evidence that some supposed technology would actually work.

        It's worse than that. Many of the ICOs simply say "technology doesn't exist yet - still on drawing board - invest to make it [maybe] happen"

        Not always bad, if they actually proved how it would work through peer-reviewed math based on sound objective assumptions.

        I like incentive hacks more: timed release, pledge w/ withdrawal option, pay-on-milestone, etc… Upfront proof is expensive!

        Excellent argument. But this should not stop us from generalizing ICO investors as stupid and launchers as scammers.

        Some feel we can create new technology just by wishing hard enough... it's been a while but we can't say this has been proven false yet. :)

        The majority of the crypto whitepapers I've read are jibberish made up of buzzwords and sleek graphics.

        It's called obfuscation. If your audience doesn't understand what you're writing, you must be smart!

        Bad haircuts or a turtleneck are also not good evidence.
