ICOs - Everyone Can Be an Investor!

The video explores the differences between Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and venture capital (VC) as methods of funding startups. ICOs are a new, unregulated form of raising money through cryptocurrency tokens, offering immediate funds but with high risks and potential for scams. In contrast, VC involves institutional investors providing funds in exchange for equity, with more control and due diligence. The video also highlights the history of ICOs, particularly Ethereum's role, and discusses the pros and cons of each funding method.
