**Adam Stacoviak:** We're gonna do a different show today, which is we had some kerfuffles on scheduling, and we don't wanna miss the show, because we're all busy and we wanna keep it rolling... So ask us anything. if you're on Twitter, if you're on some sort of social platform, if you're right here in Slack, drop a no... |
Mikeal, maybe we can still talk about the ICO, which is unique... Is it the first of its kind, the Initial Coin Offering? |
**Mikeal Rogers:** No, there's been other ICOs for the cryptocurrencies... This is just one that's actually kind of related to JavaScript and the web, because it's an attention token that's gonna be in the Brave browser, that relates to your -- it's an alternative to advertising, and it does micropayments instead. |
**Rachel White:** Can we mine it now? |
**Mikeal Rogers:** I don't think you can mine it that way. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I didn't read the full thing... The headline seemed to me as if Brave was generating funding through rather than an IPO, an ICO. |
**Mikeal Rogers:** Yeah, they did. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Is that what is happening? |
**Mikeal Rogers:** So what they did was they created a bunch of these coins - I'm not sure how many in total - but they've released some of them. Other companies have done a very similar thing, where they wanna get a coin onto the market, so they mine a bunch of it, and then they say "Okay, we're gonna offer this set a... |
They made 35 million. I think the current market cap on the coins that went out is a little under 100 million... The people that bought them actually have tripled the value so far. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** So is this becoming a way for people to go about raising funding in a different way, or is this unique to Brave or how they operate the browser? |
**Mikeal Rogers:** It does a couple things - when you have certain types of these coins, you wanna get a bunch of value injected into the network, so you do a big public offering, and then you kind of bootstrap a bunch of value around it. Or you can give a bunch of these coins out and then get that money. |
Now, the way that that's treated by the IRS is just straight up capital gains, so you're gonna get a pretty big tax penalty unless you do -- and I imagine that everybody who's raising more than a couple million dollars on these ICOs is probably doing this where they're filing some kind of company off-shore to avoid som... |
