Today, you can invest in 149 different ICOs. In comparison, there were two per week in May 2017, and ten per day in August 2017. The promise ICOs hold is that the token’s price will grow in time, enabling investors to make a profit. Everybody wins: Investors, because they can make money out of thin air (we hope you sense the underlying danger already). The company, because they have a capital to develop the project and make some money. The clients, because the rewards they get for the product outweigh the money they invest. It’s a no-lose scenario.

On 30 June 1908, Earth had one the most significant encounters with an asteroid in recent history. The space rock which measured about 130 ft wide, exploded in the atmosphere above the Podkamanneya Tunguska River in Siberia, decimating nearly 800 square miles (2, 072 kilometres) of forest area.

This long drawn out regulation could actually take a few months to uncover non-compliant companies. GDPR is all about putting personal data back in the hands of the citizen, the individual, the…
