## [German BaFin: ICO vulnerable to fraud](/ico-news/german-bafin-ico-vulnerable-to-fraud.html)

### The largest economy of the European Union finally reacted to the booming ICO in the world. The Federal Office of Financial Supervision of Germany (BaFin) warned investors about the risks associated with participation in the ICO, as this is a "very speculative form of investment." The financial regulator in its statement urged investors to be cautious about the risks and be prepared for a complete loss of money, as a high level of public interest in ICO attracts scammers.

## [The Bitconnect project was accused of creating a financial pyramid](/ico-news/the-bitconnect-project-was-accused-of-creating-a-financial-pyramid.html)

The creators of Bitconnect consider it "decentralized P2P-Crypto-currency based on an open source code that allows people to store and invest their money in a government-unchecked currency and even earn a significant return on investment." Critics of Bitconnect consider it a financial pyramid, which rewards the first customers and leaves the rest with nothing. While cynics can assert the same thing about many crypto-currencies, there is evidence that Bitconnect and the truth may be unclean.

## [The creator of BitTorrent is preparing a Chia network - an alternative to Bitcoin](/ico-news/the-creator-of-bittorrent-is-preparing-a-chia-network-an-alternative-to-bitcoin.html)

Bram Cohen, the creator of the famous BitTorrent file sharing protocol, announced that he was one step closer to "solving the problem of centralizing Bitcoin." In an interview with TechCrunch magazine, Cohen said that Chia's network, its long-standing project, positioning itself as an alternative to Bitcoin, could be launched by the end of 2018. The "very hot" round of initial investment allowed the project to get out of the underground and hire a capable developer, which is necessary for Chia's currency to offer itself to investors.

## [Bitcoin takes new heights, network loading and commissions grow](/ico-news/bitcoin-takes-new-heights-network-loading-and-commissions-grow.html)

### The popularity of the crypto-currency markets is growing rapidly, and this is not surprising, since the price of bitcoin has risen by 60% in just one last month. However, along with the passing of the mark of 7000 dollars for BTC, the congestion of the blocks again increased, as well as the commission of the miners. This was the reason for users' displeasure with unconfirmed transactions and the need to pay 5-10 dollars per transaction. The actual cancellation of the SegWit2X's hardfork not only does not solve the crisis of scaling, but rather aggravates it, since other solutions still do not work, and even activated more than two months ago SegWit has not been put into operation to the full.
