Thanks for the time you took to write this reply @jakeworkingman! I think you make a good point. Everything is about honest, integrity and authenticity. Not only in crypto, but definitely in real life as well!
I am not familiar with the ICO you are mentioning. I've taken a quick look and I see some red flags if you ask me. The biggest one being that it is very similar to BitConnect (which blew up a few weeks ago as you might have heard). A bot generating certain profits for investors combined with regular payouts...I'm sorry, but that sounds too familiar and ponzi-ish to me!
