1. Introduction
qSome basic terminology:
o DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology): digital system for recording the transaction of assets in which the
transactions and their details are recorded in multiple places at the same time, without any central data store
or administration functionality. Types: Blockchain, DAG, Hybrids, and future ones to come.
o Blockchain: a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography. Each block
contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data (generally
represented as a merkle tree root hash).
o Bitcoin: digital currency that exists on a completely public and decentralized network of computers that
operates by simple mathematical rules that everyone who participates in the network agrees on.
o Hash: cryptographic function that takes an input (or 'message') and returns a fixed-size alphanumeric string.
o Consensus Algorithm: process used to achieve agreement on a single data value among distributed
systems, in order to reliability in a network involving multiple unreliable nodes.
o DApp (Decentralized Application): backend code running on a decentralized peer-to-peer network.
o ICO (Initial Coin Offering): type of funding for startups, where a a quantity of new cryptocurrency is sold in
the form of "tokens" ("coins") to speculators or investors.

2. New companies launched as a blockchain project through an ICO
qDuring the last 18 months (data accurate as of Oct 21, 2018):
• 218 ended ICO’s have raised above $20M
• Only 11,5% are currently profitable.
• Only 23,4% are above 50% of the initial price.
• 50% has a value below 5% of the initial price.
q75% of ICO’s in the last 18 months have been a (direct or indirect) scam.
qDuring the first Ethereum ICO in Sep 2014 “only” $15.6M were raised, and initial price was $0.35709 (current
value is around $200).
