Unless the ICO includes a plan to take the majority of the existing volume and grant business innovation and system creation, it's a scam.
Bitcoin was already exposed as created by the world bank. Proof's on 8ch with the domain registered by a uberrich dude, years before anyone heard of it. Then there's always the fact that 1M coins were held by the anonymous founder. That's 1/24th, seeing there's 100's of countries that's like owning most of the world if it became adopted.

Where did you get that info?
AFAIK only the 50 first bitcoins (from the genesis block) might've been kept by Satoshi. Other than that, Bitcoin was already in the open for everybody. It's an open system. How could he keep 1M bitcoins? Sure, he could've bought them when they were much less than $1 but still.

This isn't a great example but it's not anywhere near just 50

There will never be proof of what an anonymous creator holds in an anonymous currency. But there were posts about his wallet showing transactions while the coin hit some peaks that were the reason people suspected he held most of them

Good points! You appear to be "red pilled" on the bit coins. Big scam, stay away!

Its a great idea, but ultimately because you can only get fiat into coins through btc, and there's delays, it's still a scam. Ripple went the same route when they stopped selling directly
