I really dont understand the value behind ICOs.

- there is no guarantee of limited supply of tokens ( no promise that BAT will be limited )

- there is no guarantee that company will not come up with secondary token (ex: advanced attention token)

- Also there is no indication of what 1 BAT will get you. All calculations etc subject to change



I have not checked it - but there probably is a guarantee of limited supply - the contract that generated them is already in the Ethereum blockchain and it cannot be changed.

Unless another hard fork kicks in and multiple truths exist?


Yeah I checked out, seems you have right.
