Did you know that the first ever ICO in the history of crypto was for this coin called Mastercoin? Here's the story. In 2013, Mastercoin conducted the first ever initial coin offering to raise funds for its blockchain platform. The ICO raised over 5,000 Bitcoins, which was worth around $500,000 at the time. After seeing the massive success of Mastercoin, this paved the way for many other projects to raise funds through ICOs as well, which became especially popular in the 2017 ICO mania. However, like most ICOs, Mastercoin has since lost over 99% of its value. So before you get too excited about a new investment opportunity, just make sure you do your own due diligence. And remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Follow for more.
