Okay I only have few days left and I need to decide where I am going to invest my 1 btc savings for this month. I am also planning to diversify it but dunno if it is worth it to divide like 10 times. My possible prospects I want to invest are:

Wings DAO ICO - Oct 30 ICO starts
Komodo ICO - I need to decide fast on this before October 23 which gives 20% bonus.
Incent ICO
Spark ICO
ICOBID ICO
Moody ICO

Please enlighten me if you guys have better options. I know 1 btc is not really that big. I am planning to withdraw my small investment in Safedice so I can put it in Komodo. Is it better if I just put that 1 btc in Wings or what? Thanks in advance for your advice.

i personally never like ICOs at all. they are a terrible way of investing your money if you ask me because of the high risk this kind of investment has. and on top of that history has proven that many of ICO investments turn into scams and you lose a lot more money than you could earn.

so far I always get a good return on investment ICOs, depending on you. you should be able to see where the coins that are actually potentially very good. My last investment in ICOs in ICONOMI, I'm sure this will be a big advantage again.
next investment maybe I will invest in ICOs wings.

ICO's are high risk high reward, successful ICO's provide from 100% to 500% growth and more. You just have to carefully study the coin, devs, whitepaper and all the info you can get before making your decision, scammers always hide their identity, don't have any code/demos to show.

Yeah there are big possibilities that some may turn into a scam or went dead after losing support and some updates. I was just motivated how Pesobit made their value into 29 folds few days ago. Also Potcoin owning Poloniex in few days with that 300% increase of value. I think Wings DAO is too big of a project to fail. Komodo and Incent also look good if not great. Anyway at least 8% gains is good enough for me and if higher then it'll be early Christmas gift.

Betking and Crypto-Games remain intact as per ROI but maybe those ICOs can give me higher rewards.

i don't have any experience in ICO except for the RISE before its launched and i think i don't want to join because anymore. while in RISE ICO, i don't have to make much of money.

Id recommend investing your money some other way than icos as well. You may get lucky and im sure you will think you will be fine but every ico ive bought into has been an absolute failure and lost money on them. Id reccomend just looking at some coins on the market and watch how they are performing then just invest that way. Much safer in my opinion.

I will include Incent, it seems the "open ledger" is a good one. ICONOMI also. I am not a fan of ICO also, some are turning into scam..After ICO devs left the project and gone. There are also good ICO , but still we have to be aware always whats happening.

1 btc is not that big so I guess my capacity to spread more investments in crypto is limited. I also have applied for around 1 btc in a stock IPO in my country too though it is already oversubscribed so not sure if I am given some shares there. I also did some coin tracking there in Poloniex and I say it is mostly dominated by bears and mostly may become bullish when a whale comes. I myself is also stranded by the Monero setback. Good thing is Crypto-Games just accepted Monero in their casino so I just invested it while waiting to build its price back which I am confident.

you already have a lots of knowledge about crypto i guess no need for you to ask because it will just make confusions and conflict i think what you need is just to trust those ico that you mention think and trace who's behind it and make assessment if they are trusty to invest your btc, 1 btc can be huge i still remember psb i only invest .15btc and went out having almost 4btc.

Since you have some options now no need for some enlightment here. Im sure obviously that you have a reason in the first place why you choose those alts listed above and already know the possible risk. Go on with the most active volume movement in daily duration.

What you need now is the ability to ride the possible trend that will happen in those alts. Yes close monitoring while on progress and don't let missed any chance to do such execution. For minimal work, choose only at least couple of alts.

i'm actually would prefer to invest on a project which already gaining its trust and had gather pretty decent amount of money (invested),but there's also an IOU investment which is quite unique and could make you fast profit,would recommend to try it out

Wow! So you are one of those lucky people that invested in Pesobit. I was actually invited by someone to try it and at that time there was a 5% bonus. Well I don't want to be scammed again and I was playing too safe. I thought pre-mined coins aren't advisable so I declined. :(

I heard crypto years ago but I actually just studied it 3 months ago after I was scammed by around 1 btc (in my local currency). And then I realized it was called HYIP. So I guess 3 months is not much of a knowledge but yeah I am trying to learn it as much as I can on my vacant time.  

Im also one of the people who able to get good profits in Pesobit. Now the price is on correction but waiting for big hoarders move.

Anyways your experience will make you a better person in trades. Since you already lost a lot you will be more cautious and more concern about handling the risk in doing altcoin trades. In terms of altcoin trades, your stated capital is already a decent one although I don't see an assurance that your preferred listed coins above will give you profit. Play with them instead if you want really want to invest in those listed coins of yours.

You can still invest on pesobit because its price is currently dump, it will soon pump once the devs release it's new feature that makes pesobit easy to transfer and can sirectly convert PSB just using their online wallet.

If you ask me, I'd suggest you just keep your 1 BTC. Investing in these kinds of scams is definitely not worth the risk.

The majority of Bitcoin "investment opportunities" are either scam or lead by total amateurs which almost guarantee a negative return on investment. Given Bitcoin's history I don't understand, why so many people still fall for these. Most of the businesses don't even have a clear business plan and thorough financial planning is an absolute rarity. Yet investors don't care about it and willingly fool themselves that the extremely high promised returns are the result of serious business activity.

I don't know of any field of investment where scammers can operate equally effortless and risk-free like in the Bitcoin investment scene.

ya.ya.yo!

I don't actually trust ico's because some of them are turning into scam when the period comes after they got many investors to buy and invest for their coins. And yes im collecting free coins but im not buying :) Earning and then sell to make profit is best. Earn when it's free

that's right earning it by the means of airdrops i read that inside alt section and im trying to get some free coins too.

Nice catch on Pesobit. Maybe you can also share which current projects you are supporting or investing right now?

There is also ark DAO, it is in the pre ann stage, I don't know if the ICO will start this month, about the ICOs you listed, I am watching many people are waiting for Wings DAO ICO to start, seems promising project with growing community.

Zcoin, Zcash and of course BTC. I predict price will spike up by the end of the year.

From the list made by OP I haven't invested in any of them and I don't plan to invest there.

I think that OP has forgot the most crowdfunded ICO in the Europe which is ICONOMI.

Having 10.6 Million USD investment during the ICO phase is not small and this should be on the top of the list.

I have invested there with a very small amount and will see after a month maybe if it was worth or not, but I believe that it will.

That is a lot of ICO's. I am wondering how do you study each of these ICO's and know that they will return a profit? For me personally I think it is very dangerous because we do not know what will happen and if the team behind each of them will run away with the money. Also from my research most of the ICO's are scams. After 1 year or 2 years the developers leave the project with a profit by dumping their coins in the exchange.

So in each of those ICO's what makes them a good investment for you? Do you think all of them will gain traction and adoption in the future?

If i had that capital then i personally would have been investing it in some other trusted coins in alt coin marketplaces, because i believe that are more reliable and believable, because ICOs does not always grow higher from the amount they start so it can go either way most of the times.

I'm not yet sure if I am investing in all of them. Also I will try to set some support so if in any case they dropped in value I can also sell it without much losses or as much as possible have some gains somehow. Just that I am not sure how much they are valued when they enter in the trading sites. Also I am still hoping most of them can get listed in trading sites at least so I can sell when needed.

Hopefully the bonuses are enough to support possible losses and at least have some gains somehow. I tried trading Monero few days ago and I am currently stranded by its current setback. I noticed most top 20 coins also keep dropping their value most of the time so I dunno how I can make the correct timing in trading. I am just a crypto newbie though so maybe I need more time to polish my understanding.

I have a opposite opinion on this. ICOs are really got investments if you choose the right ico you can really profit a nice amount from it. Not all ICOs are scams most of the recent and popular ones have turned out good, and anyways when choosing a ICOs its always better to see how many people have already invested in it and how must trusted it is on this fourm.

Do you have any personal positive experience with ICOs? I'm thinking of investing a bit into Komodo, but it would be the first time I've invested in an ICO.

ICOs are indeed good ways of earning money. The bonuses are high so you don't have to expect a loss unless you picked a coin without doing reasearch and study on it. I even think participating in ICOs gives better returns than regular trading that are very difficult to study.

When there is an ICO, look if there is a reputable escrow.

If there is escrow, look to who that is, what reputation they have.

Now, just because there is escrow, does not mean the value or price of the new coin will go up, or will fail. That's beyond the control of the escrow. What they do guarantee is that the wallet gets launched and the network is up and all participants receive their new coins.

If that doesn't happen, you at least get a 99% refund, or a process to do so. 1% is spent on transaction fees.

PSB and SPK were or are under escrow.

For me, no need for further research when investing on coins on ICO. It doesn't necessary since your main goal is to ride the price pump and dump. Research is nothing here as it was 100% manipulated.

The research must be done in those other alts that already established a correction price. But for new coins, it doesn't necessary but it may consider. It's just my own view.

I never liked ICOs as well but I found an awesome project (ICONOMI FUND MANAGEMENT PLATFORM) , ICO is finished (those who invested are shareholders of the company and will receive dividends) , they reached + 10 million dollar in investment which make it so promising.
It's not too late to invest though , the ICNs (Ethereum based-tokens) which reprent the shares you are holding will be issued in 25th October , so It may be listed in exchanges that day and Bountry hunters may dump their tokens so It will be an awesome oppurtunity for you to buy at a low price while you can !

I think I missed ICONOMI, Pesobit and Decent although I might trade with these coins. I prefer the new ones due to their current high bonuses.

Honestly its hard to decide to invest in ICO's those you mention but right now the price is increased and i think this is not a good time to buy for it we don't know if the price will increase more soon or not..

I also checked ICONOMI and found i missed it already, now i'm curious to know about more ICOs that are running as i've heard from a lot of people that ICOs earns you great bonuses on investments so i want to try one.

I would invest all in Komodo ICO and in Z cash mining. The new z cash technology looks very promising - Komodo is also based on z cash

Well, investing ICOs is good. However, it carries a lot of risk of losing your money. We are not sure about whether it will turn to scam or not. And, if it is not a scam, we also don't know its price will go up or down. So, beware and be wise when you decide to invest in ICOs or another investment projects

Ico in the past were the same as a cash maachine, nowadays the most ico are just an attempt to steal funds from the others, soo kindly research about each ico and about the projections each developer is willing to make.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. So far I invested some to Komodo and Incent. Incent is a good project although I don't think it can really reach like what Pesobit did in short term due to developers keeping too many stocks for future use. I believe they will also dump most of it when value increases too high. I also bought some altcoins for trading like Pesobit. Now I am contemplating on Wings DAO.  :-\

That's right majority of ICOs are scams and devs will disappear after have made enough money out of it so its always good to do proper research before investing and its better to investing in any promising altcoins instead of going for ICO.

So far icos are good when they really continue there project after getting lot's of investors but there are some plenty icos that really scammed and there not continue there project just promising those investors and they not getting into it and they going to left and then not comming back i trust some icos that really worth some money.

Most of icos are achieving for earnings only and then if they already reach that goal turning into scam and then will never come back for fewmonths i will trust if there account are really high as af and then have some proof that they really have funds for the project.

In addition to your statement I will add based on my experience to carefully inspect ICO coins their specs their potential market. More importantly you must consider the number of coins in circulation and how much premine coins will be distributed to ICO members, bounty hounters. Check carefully the developer if he or she is good in this things do not engage if the dev has less knowledge about mining, wallets and everything.

huh,majority? are you for real? ICO will not turning out to be scam if you can see how its realiability by looking on the devs list,they who get scammed on ICO because they're blindly investing without seeking the truth behind these project,few icos can't be used to generalize all icos

you can't say the best investment
before ico end and coin listing to exchanger
so the best investment october, must ico end september

iam choose pesobit, ico end finish 15 september, ico price in 340, october price in high price until 10k satoshi

That's why no such thing as other alts are made for a progress. Since more investors are hooked at altcoin investment, it's a good chance to get some money from the people.

It's a matter of a win win situation where both owners and investors can make money.

That is the setbacks buying in ICO's. Sometimes very active during ICO's and several months,after that developers are gone, or making another coins to sell or making another coins to offer it again. There are coins who is good also, at it lasted for several years and still its going back up by a strong community.

I think Komodo and Incent are the next potential best investments but they are going slower than Iconomi which I believe is one of the best and highest crowdfunding in the crypto industry, the other coins I haven't checked in details.

Maybe and i think komodo is is great in promotion and i think it has a potenciall and i hope they can adopt it more gambling site and more stores that can accept i.. because it can attract more people to invest..

I don't think that adopting to gambling affects the coin but the support of people and their signature campaign that has start a while ago affected very good in a positive way, also check the Iconomi topic their community has been expanded very large.

A lot of the only decent investments I've seen this month have been some altcoin ICOs that are (as seemingly always) pump n dumps that have had good returns but were slightly expensive to get into. I don't really pay much attention to the rest of the companies and businesses within the Bitcoin economy.

Seems like Incent already access an association of entrepreneurs there in Australia. If partnerships sealed they can establish themselves as a solid crypto coin.

In my opinion the best thing you could invest in is yourself. Instead of buying a crypto-currency consider starting up a site/business. For example if you had 10 BTC to invest you could startup a small gambling site and do some advertising etc.

I am thinking of doing it but having full time job is a bit difficult. Few years from now I may quit my job to fully focus on it, trading actively and will do some business of my own. I believe there is so much room for cryptocurrency growth and i'll try to earn from these wide opportunities.

I only know the three first. The three other are totally unknown from me. I'm surprised that the Wings ICO started just now, given the amount of time they've been around ???.

October may be better for Halloween type season investments.

If you did some offline marketing i'm sure you could easily put money into costumes or other products and sell them on eBay. Cosplay uniforms are the best to show video game enthusiasts a new way to enjoy virtual worlds.

Other than that try getting into digital investment opportunities so there's less work over time once you set it up.

Spark is a good one although it didn't gain too much popularity earlier maybe because they are mostly banking on CBX supporters which I think limits the reach. Wings DAO is a very good example, they give it time and continue to provide updates until it gained so much hype. I think they can break ICONOMI's proceeds or at least come near to it.

Yeah, better to earning and collect free coins by campaign which are available. My friends got nice profits by ico's recently until 65K icn worth around BTC8, I think incent and komodo are good options to invest

I have an investment plan that small people know about it.

The platform using cryptocurrency called BURST, you can get it here : https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_burst
After getting the BURST, you can invest your BURST in Asset Exchange here : https://forums.burst-team.us/category/6/asset-exchange
The asset offer varied return, at the moment as far as I know, the highest return is about 6%/month. It will yield about 72% of return per year. The capital you invest not gone, it still yours, but if you want your capital back, you can sell in market again. If the BURST price is rising, your profit basically is so much than 72% itself. The asset offered is backed by different things, one asset backed by real business, another one is backed by crypto mining, another by trading, another by real silver, and much more.

Do your due diligence when investing, never trust anyone advice including me before research by yourself.

At this moment really the ICO is i think the best option for those people who seeks to earn some profits on our online ventures and aside from anyother from that i don't see any reliable site aside from tradings that safe to invest on, and we should not always think about investment but also we should think our safety since the best thing to gain is to defend our capital. We should choose wisely those who truly offered real earning platforms.

I just watch the ICO but I do not participate now, I just bought them when it's cheap and it will normally happen when people dump their free coins during the first week of release, that's when you come in and buy your desired coins.

You can hold it but always pay attention..

So I guess it is safer to participate in good ICOs because at least we can dump the coins when we felt it isn't getting bigger than the bonuses received. ;)

There is a lot of noise around Zcash since the start of this month, many members in BCT have opened related threads and debates, and todays Poloniex announced that they will open Zcash markets on 28 October, therefore this coin might be good investment but that also depends on the time of buying, it might be expensive earlier and cheap later.

Well many people are know looking for investment but i think bitcoin is the best to hold this coming months and i think we will experience of huge price increase just like now the price is increase again from 650 yesterday to 679.4 according to preev price.. This is will be the same as last year.. and i hope this november we will experience high price increase..

I think gulden is one of the good altcoin to buy since i experience of good profit few months ago from september until now and gulden is in top 20 and i think almost in top 20 altcoin are the best to choose or to invest right now that we know it can stay long..

You are right. Some short time investors will dump it early in Poloniex. Maybe wait until the air is clear and start buying when a bit lower but it's hard to identify early how much   its stable value.

the possibility could happen such as coin more expensive just in early seja after it experienced a decline not all coin but most such coin

So did any of you managed to invest in Zcash too? Damn coin was dumped so hard. I was trying to make a quick buy but I was so scared to get drowned. I think it was like 1k btc then down to like 8 btc. Fuck that was lots of moonies.   

What do you want? A long term return or short?

I really like the idea of split the bet, it's more safe... Actually ICONOMI are with a low price, great time to buy a lot.

but still no gaurrenty that DAO became famous like bitcoin still . i m sure that it rate with be set into tge term of bitcoin or satoshi so how can we say it will impact powerfully in the virtual money world .

I don't have much resources at the moment so mostly I prefer those short term kind of investments.

Wings DAO ICO was moved to November 18 already. Damn team already reached like more than 200k people with their aggressive promotions. Wings won't beat Bitcoin of course but for as long as everything executed well then they making it at top 10 coins is good enough in my opinion.   

Zcash didn't made an ICO right? They are getting cheaper right now.

I agree. I bought some as well. Price is below the ICO now. Also Antshares is good. And after 1-2 months, buying Zcash might also be good. Once the price stabilizes.

It is falling down, and it will become cheaper day by day, today it got shapeshift support, but some people still suspect this coin because the very high price in the early trading stage, they think that this market is manipulated, honestly I think it is crazy action to buy this coin at 5 or 10 BTC.

Look at the amount of ZEC put for sale on Poloniex. You'll be able to observe the more it is higher the price is.

Even though all these nesessary things are achieved there are still some rooms that doesn't guarantee that the participants on ico will gather profit.

I take for example the ICN which I invested and now after few days after the distribution and being listed in an exchange the price of the coin has dropped dramatically and it's cheaper than ico price, so this make the ico participants feeling pissed of, but let's hope this will change.

The more it is the higher the price is? You know this doesn't make any sense. The price is 100% down and will crash much lower than 0.5BTC. Just wait a few days/weeks

Now that the price of bitcoin is skyrocketing again, it has a big impact in our investment in ICO. I remember when I invested in waves and the price was really high that time and during the first day of release in exchange site, I could not sell since bitcoin price is down that time.

It's about timing I guess as when BTC is up Altcoins are down.

If you're going to buy now , it's a big mistake . If the price is dump hard , you'll be suffer with big losses and hard to recover it .
I think it's just bait for buy this coin and leave the project . but let's see next update from ZEC.

I already anticipated ZEC's value downfall if it hits the open market. I think it is way too expensive. Dunno what will happen to its investors right now after plummeting from hundred BTC per ZEC to around 7 BTC. And yup expect the value to continue going down. Maybe it stabilizes in few days but below 1 BTC for sure.

As it turned out, a good investment strategy in October was the purchase Bitcoins. This became especially clear in late October, when the price went up sharply

I do not really know about bitcoin now, tell me how investment in iconomi running? I see there are a lot of people get great benefits when they invest in icomoni

Its already down to 1.25BTC in poloniex. In just 2 days. The amount of available ZEC is rising exponentially. Lets wait and watch

Lol. 0.7 BTC now. :( Is it stable enough or will it still go continue to drop?

A bitcointalk member said that the price will still go continue to drop because the mining reward at this moment is increasing, he said that the price will stable around December or even in next year.
Here is the original discussion : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1626185.msg16734380#msg16734380

In my opinion : Coin that the mining reward is decreasing, the price still can drop with no specific reason, moreover coin that the mining reward is increasing.

From all this coins I`m familiar with Komodo. They come on scene very seriously, with huge campaign with over 200 participants, twitter and some other social network promotions, I think they also have their blog or some news site I`m not sure.
I think that this can be good investment, as it seems they plan to make something and seems that good team is behind all that. This can promising, at least I see their commitment as positive thing, and if they continue to work on this they will have bright future.

Lets pray for those who invested in that altcoin will not loose their money because this kind of sign entails that the altcoin is about to fall or may totally disappear from the market. I don't believe in buying all those altcoin because of issues like this which can make you loose so much money. I am very comfortable by investing only on bitcoins.

Well, what can you expect.. That would happen when the foundation is not so strong. What comes up must come down.. :( :(, but you know how to do the right timing for sure you make money with that altcoin.

just ever saw that someone ever bought this coin on rate about 2500 bitcoin which is actually terrible if he's realize that within a few days this coin just falling down into 0.75 bitcoin for the current rate now on poloniex,if he'd doing a mistake by suddenly pressing someone's ask on rate 2500 bitcoin,such a pain in the ass

I think this investor who failed with ZEC will most likely trust XMR again, that is good as an XMR supporter because we are going to see another price pump when that happens. Surely XMR is more of a very good feature than any other altcoin if we talk of privacy and it will surely recover this year after the fall back of one popular altcoins.

I think the best investment of this month would of probably been WAVES.
Probably one of the weakest to start investing into this October and you probably would of lost some money was ZCash
Bitcoin was pretty good this month also

I think ICONOMI is a good one this October investment also. I bought in ICO and have some twitter campaign bounty. As of now, the rice is below the ICO price which is 20,000 satoshi but  I think it will rebounds later as the is just launch and some bounty are dump. Once the price stabilizes i think it will have a significant gain.

Its true, the Zcash crash will help the rest of the anon coins such as Monero. I think it will also help Komodo which, even though is based on Zcash technology, its sugnificantly different

I do go for casino bankrolls and not ICOs. With new coins you can make money but more often they tank due to various reasons. Make less but stay safe.

Actually, keeping your bitcoin in your wallet is a safer than any investment. Thats what i do, the value right now is rising so i dont wanna spend it till it reach my desired value. I havent entered any investments because its risky but i preffer to invest in a casino than to ICO.

Hi there. Do you mind sharing what casinos you are investing into? I heard not all casinos are profitable. Some have income but I guess 1 or 2 percent in a month isn't worth it in my opinion.

I prefer to investment with bankroll casino's ether and I stopped joining some ICO's because of some scamming incident that has been done by some ICO's so it made me feel unsafe for all the ICO's. And I think the best october investments would be holding, trading and bankroll casino's no more no less these are my investments daily.

What more casinos do you know that accept investors? And please share some estimated figures on their returns. All I know is Betking, Safedice, Crypto-Games, Moneypot, Satoshidice and Bitvest. Of those casinos I guess only the first 3 continues to generate decent returns and even Safedice is many times unpredictable due to its very low house edge. Heard Just-Dice also accepts investors but I don't have any clue on their returns.

Now 23 October has been passed away, May be you have a better way where you have invested. But i will tell you my opinion, if you are not choice than should save your 1 bitcoin, because now bitcoin is increasing day to day. So it is better option for you, only hold your bitcoin, and before the coming next year should sell it. May be it give you double price.  

I did made some few investments mostly in the ICOs I listed in OP. Wings DAO ICO was moved to November 18 so I just bought some altcoins for trading instead. And I made a perfect exit on my Safedice investments which I gained 1.7% in around 2 weeks. Safedice investors seemed to lost around 5% last week.

Best investment in October so far is bitcoin. The price have a dramatic increase and it has even continue to November. Most altcoins coins are down when the price of bitcoin increase, so probably bitcoin is the best investment IMO.

Better to invest your 1 bitcoin to 2-3 altcoins ICO which you think have potential and you are interested in. Don't put all your eggs in one backet as well as try to be fast and invest in ICO when there is bonus active which can give you some guaranteed profit (atleast bonus amount). However this days many ICOs are opening everyday and hard to find potential alts to invest into.

ICOs are actually profitable but not everytime, and sometimes they rather drop their price when the period of the ICO ends and in that case the investors lose some of their capital they invested in it, so maybe it would be quite safer to invest on a coin that already has the potential to grow in the markets.

You should have just saved that 1 bitcoin. The bitcoin price has spiked this month early. ICOs are not always the best option to go with. Sometimes bitcoin itself can be a great investment, and provide you with a great stable income for doing nothing :)

There are quite a number of cryptos where the price is going down while there's development and a good chance for the downtrend get reversed soon.
XZC, WAVES, or even XMG and XMR.
I feel like these are better investments than the ICOs. Of course, neither math nor hunch can tell clearly what the market will do.

BTC is on the rise, but don't forget that $ is on downtrend. However, this situation makes most alts get dumped big time by some speculators. (Which can be an opportunity for others!)

I don't think that monero is going to have any kind of big rise anytime soon. but I agree that investment in ICOs is always a bad decision that anyone can make because of the huge risks they have and the scammy nature of them.

with that said I believe that this month is a good time to get in the altcoin market and start trading because of the massive drops that have been happening we are getting closer to the time where all this is going to reverse and price start going up again and pumps will begin soon.

After Zcash spiraling down I think Monero is going to retrieve his past position as per anonymity. Maybe not sooner but I am positive reason why I continue to hold on it. ICOs are just fine as long as people studying first before investing. I find their bonuses a big advantage.

True, the possession of Bitcoin itself is already one kind of investment.

Yeah. At times bitcoin gives good earning without doing any work due to the fluctuations happening with the price. ICO has gained good trust from more users but it was not in a state to consider as a investment similar to investment made through bitcoin. Possibly scenario might change when more and move people start using digital currencies.

Sometimes you can even lose in investments because of Bitcoin's price rise, for example you invest in ICO, but then BTC goes up and you are stuck with coins that don't necessarily scale in price together with Bitcoin.

I can say that I lose because I am not able to sell my bitcoins while it is on $743 and I just manage to sell it only when the price fall to $687. But still that is a lesson and profit to me, but I'm a bit discourage for that $56 loss. And I think that is not lose either because I manage to be stable and confident when the price is just $620.

Last October bitcoin did rule the crypto show. I managed to purchase some btc and still hoping it will continue to rise. Maybe 800 USD by the end of 2016? :D

Shame you didn't believe in Monero. You could have won some 5-10% without effort.
Of course, I didn't know it will happen this soon, it was based on some news on the GUI.
But this is how the market goes. Never say never :) Pumps and comebacks go hand in hand.

October passed, come November, but my strategy has not changed. I invest in Bitcoin. And now, while the price is slightly became smaller - there is a good chance to buy this cryptocurrency

Maybe bitcoin ends 2016 with a bang like 1k usd?  ;D ;D Also I am a monero believer. They are way better than zcash in my own opinion.

By the way I am tempted to invest some in Ark ICO since i have few funds left for the November 18 Wings DAO ICO.

Zcash is just a hype, the faster it rise the faster it falls. If I were to choose between monero and Zcash, I will not hesitate to back with monero, it's a  the best project so far next to bitcoin, the price is low now so I guess it's time to buy for the believers.

Zcash can and deception, but some get to make some money on such projects. Therefore, if there is extra money available, it is possible to invest in various projects

I totally agree, even though I never liked Monero it seems to be doing really well and is very underpriced. I actually bought some XMR last week. I wouldn't invest in Zcash now, maybe a few months later once the price is around $10.

In due time zcash will drop to a more reasonable price.  If you have an account the viral exchange, you can earn free incent loyalty tokens, $Strat, BTC, Viral Points, & Blitzcash for retweets, likes, and other social media actions.  I usually wait after ICO since values may drop due to "P&D" tokens.  Then again I am looking for projects that have potential for long term investments.

Best October Investiment was Bitcoin. People made a good profit with that buying cheap and selling high. And already had another opportunitie to buy cheap again after that price decrease some days ago.

About the zcash there is not a final opinion about yet, but I don't like the idea. Looked to good to be true.
In my opinion it's just a furor.

Yes, Bitcoin is undoubtedly the leader in the list of most profitable cryptocurrency. The same trend is likely to be in November.
Regarding zcash, I personally do not mind to invest in it a portion of their money

I actually do not like much of this alt coin. Reason is simple just calculate the total alt coin came till now to its existence and how much have reached to next to zero value or being closed. You will find huge such numbers. The profit is only made by the owner of the coin.

If OP is looking for long term investment, i would suggest going to ICONOMI. ICO isn't as profitable unless you get to dump the first when its released.
Buying an existing token is a lot better than on ICO. Or you can try accumulating tokens during the ICO release by trading.

If your looking for quick money trade forex

It is just like the same as other trading site like yobit and it needs large amount of capital here in my country there is seminar about forex and there is no different to trade in other trading site.. For me it is the best to invest in trading in crypto not in forex since i still not experience to try forex,
yobit and cryptopia and poloniex is my trading is the best i spread my bitcoins for safety purpose trading is not instant to make profit it takes long run before you can make a good profit also it depends how you manage your trading strategy..

There is vast different from forex to cryptocurrency. main difference is volume. trillions a day traded in forex so you could easily make a good amount trading it. it's just knowing how to trade forex.

Yeah making profits from trading is not easy as it will surely taste your level of patience and if you get panic then you will surely suffer loss in it, as everyone feels that its very easy to make  profits from trading but the reality is very different and if you don't have any strategy then its better to stay away from it.

I just checked some of the icos that will end soon in ico-list and seems that there are pretty good projects.

The top of the ICOs which I was able to determine is komodo with 2400BTC+ which is maybe the most funded one recently.

Also Incent and ARK are pretty good with around 1 million dollar, there may be also other ICO which I wasn't able to find.

I also think ARK will be an good investment...

And the Incent that OP talked about don't reach neither 25% of the goal, don't know if it was because the plataform or date...

OP I fully realize this topic is kinda old, but my advice is to just hold onto whatever bitcoin you've managed to scrounge up.

My advice also is to load up on big pharma stocks and biotech companies.  Pfizer is going to explode, and bank stocks as well.  Bank of America is one.  And the good thing is that you get to vote your proxy come annual meeting time.  Gotta have a say in what these corrupt-to-the-core companies are doing.  Shareholder activism.

If you buy these shitty ICOs, you are playing with fire whilst doused in gasoline.  Yer gonna git burnt.

Yeah I was able to hold some btc due to Wings DAO moving their ICO to later date. And it seems that bitcoin as always owned these altcoins.

Before I started my interest with crypto I am into my country's stock market but it went downward starting last Aughost and up to now it remains unstable. I'd been planning since then to try the global stock market but I dunno if I have much time for that after I shifted my attention to crypto.  ;D

I think many people earn thru ICOs but just like stock market we also need to study and do some research before investing on ICOs.

 

The pharmaceutical industry is very interesting and attractive for investors. It probably is good in the long run. During the month of their shares will not rise much in price

I would not do high ambitions for the ARK. In the long term there is no advantage in comparison with others. Investment preferences can be deceptive. It is unclear the true duration of the operation of most of these projects.

I do not trust such projects. Why risk. It is better to invest in something that is reliable and more expensive. For example, in Bitcoin

I do agree with those who disagree that those type of projects will be good to spent your bitcoins for trusting them and investing with them. Because if you will just simply think of the cycle, there are coming up projects that has only one aim, to replace or make a competition with bitcoin. But what is happening to them, as before they reach the ICO many of them are failing in long run.

Consider this. Almost all the older altcoins (i.e those created before 2014, there are at least 900 of them floating around) are worth less right now, than their worth two years back. This list includes Namecoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Terracoin, and Quark.  

Well with ICO you can receive bonus and you can just dump your coin right away if you feels like it is not heading the way you expect. I also find it hard to analyze most of altcoins trends as most are really going down unless there is a pump and sometimes some updates and most of the times not enough to recover the losses especially if you were holding it for such a long time. Except bitcoin though.
