Jan and Miha started the workshop with the appeal that everyone who thought about collecting funds through ICO should first think about why they need it and what it will bring to the company. ICO is primarily an obligation to investors and the next logical step in business operations, not an end in and of itself. At the beginning, the field was fairly unregulated and consequently, problems were appearing, from deception to damages and internal disputes. That is why you should remember that collecting resources, no matter the method, is an obligation of the company or team towards the investors.
 

The field is new and changing, but FURS (the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia) is still tracking the activities and is regularly delivering opinions based on which the activities continue to be regulated. Problems begin when an already complicated field is privy to treatment by fiscal and legal experts who don’t always speak a common language understandable to mortals. In addition, the internet is full of pseudo-experts and misinformation that can prove to be harmful once you are faced with a different opinion from the legal and tax authorities.
