What you say is true, an ICO does carry high risk because what you are investing in is unproven.

As long as those investing realise the risk it is up to them if they choose to take on this risk, most of the ICOs do fail or at least fall under the ICO price and very few seem to actually take off and it is those ones that can make it worthwhile investing.

I don't really agree on this lots of ICO really giving profit for shareholders even some ICO be alerted in Bitcoin talk possible scam we have to do proper research before investing has to have a idea what that ICO doing using blockchain technology why they want to convert  to decentralise everything then there should be less risk. If you become greedy and want to rich in no time then there is high chance of getting loss.

In my oppinion you should not generalise to invest or not in an ICO. Do your due diligence and be selective on what you invest in (as with stocks or any other asset). Use a diversified risk adjusted approach and this will most likely render you a good return in the long run.

as i know, ICO is one of many way to collect more bitcoin, but remember choose a good project if you want to make investments on ICO  ;)
the most important is never invest your money that you can't afford to lose

BUT, everyone is free to do what they want, it personal decision. If people are able to choose good ICO and it gives them profit, why they shouldn't invest?

Well that's a right say. But for ico, there are some really genuine projects that we can invest money. Otherwise, we can't say that all projects worth investing. To me, I only invest in unique projects that don't have competitors in the market.

95% of ICO will fall when it hits reality, it helped rise the market, however 1-2 years from now investors will demand news.... There is just a few ICO which makes sense.

Maybe there are ICO's that will fail, but there are also successful one and thrive.When investing in ICO's please take note the people behind the project. Are they well known on their field? They have successful project before? Is the project unique and practical enough to earn? Will the community will support it? How  about the competition? Investors only wants to profit, that is why they considered the profitability and viability of the project.

You give a lot of the questions, But the main thing that the team was experiencing on the crypto or not. I mean the team must be competence. and it can be determined from their background. We know that one of the worst projects in 2016 such as Qtum. Just fake project with the fake result too. It can be an evidence to choose the best team.

There are really ico that is worth investing. We should not invest if we dont see any future on it or development,but if the ico seems really promising plus the team were into consideration and cooperation. Give it a try ,it might be worth investing. I believe investing now is a new form of doing business.

This is really depending on case to case basis dependong the the certain point of view on an investor on a certain type of ICO. Not all are scam but most likely which you do purchase coins on ICO state and the price is lowered compared on the ICO price then i will surely say that it feels like that i have been scammed but we should not treat it generally there are ICO's which are worth investing on our money and its our responsibility to spot those good ones and we should always remember the risk for us not to be surprised if uncertain thing might happen ahead.

I really agree with you, many people say investing with ICO is very risky is true, but if you want to invest with ICO, we must first see how the project works, if we see them working not really build a project, Investing in it But if we look at the ICO project it's very good why we do not invest, so it all depends on how you can see the quality of the project itself and determine it yourself.

The risk factor definitely exists but if the ICO you invested in is a big hit and lifts off, you will be able to make more money than by buying and selling altcoins at margin prices.

I would do extensive research about an ICO before deciding to invest in it and look around for resources to make my decision.


Title: Re: Don't invest your money in Ico
Post by: TomUyamot on July 06, 2017, 03:32:19 AM
Risky, yes, of course! But to generalize ICO as scam is too much. I don't think ICOs are scam. There are some of them of course. We cannot deny that as there are developers who are only after money and not really putting their heart to their project.

But it needs your prudence, diligence, hardwork, and so on to get the right ones. There are legit ones of course. And it's really worth it.

Take a look at my signature, do some research, and you will believe that not all ICOs are scam.  ;)

Yes, I will invest my money in ICO because I can earn multiple profits on it. I know that investing ICO is risky but you should be careful before you decision on it. Preferably to invest with escrows because its more secured than not.

I'm also doing the same, ico is very profitable if you are investing in the right ico but if you are in a bogus ico,you are going to lose a lot so better check who are the people behind this ico and they have investor protections like an escrow and a guaranty, without an escrow I will not going to invest in any ico.

Not all ICOS are scammy. Yeah there are some rip off merchants, but you get that through mainstream investments as well. I have made some decent returns over the years participating in some ICOSA and I would always advise every investor to do their proper research and due diligence before investing anywhere, whether on or off the Blockchain.  :)

I agree with you, it is natural that ICO is very risky because of the big risks that must exist if investing there. Although true, many ICOs are failing and also scam but in recent months many ICOs are successful and generating huge profits, this is more than just selling and buying altcoin at a margin price. I also do research and rethink if want to decide to invest in ICO. If we can be careful we will avoid from failure.

the risk is necessary, if you wanna make money. I don't want to lost opportunity.

A lots of ICOs are profitable.
But the OP advice is good for 1 reason:

1. you invest in a profitable ICO (money+)
2. you invest in a profitable ICO (money++)
3. you invest in a profitable ICO (money+++)
4. you invest in a scam (money zero)

Investing is okay, but just don't fall in a mania that will make you lost everything.

The most common reason why do people tend to hop on ICO is on making money and theres only 1 reason why we do such thing but we should be keen on selecting knowing that there are lots of ico's out there we wont know whos legit or not and if you are a wise investor you will eventually identify which do have the potential or not. I usually checked first their whitepaper,roadmap developer transparency and lots of other stuffs needed to be known before putting money into them.

Investing in an altcoin which is still in the process of an ICO is not for the weak heart.
This one is really high risk but with great profits if ever it creates a big fuss or get a hold of a large investor.
Not all are a failure but some altcoins now continued because of the ICO process.


Title: Re: Don't invest your money in Ico
Post by: AjithBtc on July 06, 2017, 10:13:22 AM
Not every ICO is a scam. Right now you could find large number of good ICO projects running. Just because of the few we cannot come to the conclusion that entire ICO's were scam. These are the potential short time profit providing tokens. Generally if these were scam it won't gain big investment.

For me it's okay to invest in ICO but you have to make it sure that this is not a SCAM. There are plenty of ICO's that became successful and had a lot of improvement in there project. Investing is taking risk of you think its not worth the risk then don't but if you are sure that the ICo will be successful then go for it.

I totally agree with you. I think the problem is that people invest in almost all ICO's that look good from the first sight but they don't learn all the details. You should learn that ICO in details and it is good if you can discuss it with someone who has bigger experience. Doing all this, you most probably won't be scammed.

Etherum also began from the crowd finding and you can't say it's scam, right? I think you can't say that all ICOs are scam and never bring profit. They do, just it's necessary to read a lot and count all the terms of it's future growth, such as the idea and team.

ICO’s don’t really look that good to the average Bitcoin holder because it looks like they can run with the money as soon as they get the money. If people like to put money into ICO’s I would suggest that they get a bunch of money and invest in an old coin so they can actually see how much more money they could make if they invest in things wisely.
Most ICO’s don’t have a ready product until a month after they get the money.

Your portfolio look good. But I do not agree that all ICOs are scam, investors have to do research and decide whether to invest looking at business model and what can the business deliver. Of course we don't jump into any ICO, find the promising projects and invest within our means. There are plenty of ICOs that bring investors' good profits.

Cheers and good luck  :)

If one man wrongs you do you now believe every man you meet shsoo do the same ? No !! You must think you must calculate and decide and take time and be patient. Sometimes it's better to wait the ico out and buy in later. Other times it's just simply better to begin mining asap. It would depends on the coin and it's features.

ICO = high risk but high reward

If you do proper research and spread your investments to many ICO then your risk is minimized but you can still get great rewards.

Risky, yes, of course! But to generalize ICO as scam is too much. I don't think ICOs are scam. There are some of them of course. We cannot deny that as there are developers who are only after money and not really putting their heart to their project.

But it needs your prudence, diligence, hardwork, and so on to get the right ones. There are legit ones of course. And it's really worth it.

Take a look at my signature, do some research, and you will believe that not all ICOs are scam.  ;)

Well put, Tom. Some ICO's are scams, others are not. Put the legwork in, look at the founders, the business plan, market cap, issuance, terms and most of all; see if they have a viable product before investing. Look at the multiple. For instance, I saw a filestorage ICO that had a market cap of high 100's of millions if not billions, no product to show for. Highly competitive market, no track record in the sphere for the founders. I stayed out. Look for track record, viability, a product demo, and the financials. If they can't produce good financials, a well thought out business plan and pro forma, then they are not even competent to run a multi-million dollar business.

That said: ICO's is an exciting vehicle indeed and I see that there will be companies that can truly make it. Point in case; etherum for instance that raised their ICO at 30 cents per eth. Growth of 1000x in a few years. Its the same as during the dot com boom. Many crap companies will be seeking capital, but its about finding the ones that make it big. The guys that invested in Amazon in late 90's would be happy today, the guys that invested in Earthlink; not so much.

I have make dollars from ICO investment. Today I sold my silvercoin with great profit and sold lisk last time with much profit. If you can analysis most ICO very well you should be in profit every time and not loses. Every project worth investing in after proper analysis, many people loses money because they invest in scam project which can be easily detect by wise view on the project.

but, at this moment a lot of people interesting to make investments on ICO, because many ICO project finish quick
as i know, ICO is one of many way to collect more bitcoin, but remember choose a good project if you want to make investments on ICO  ;)
the most important is never invest your money that you can't afford to lose
That is how people should invest. Investing money that they can’t afford will only cause issues that they don’t want to have when they decide to get their money out. In most cases the people that invest the money that they can’t afford to lose end up losing a portion of their money when they decide to get their money back and when they get their money back the coin receives a huge pump that they will later regret.

It’s kind of hard to invest in ICO’s during 2017 since there’s scams almost every day in this forum. The right amount of researching and asking the right questions before investing into a coin should give the person a much more comfortable feeling when they decide to put their money in it.

It’s also funny to see an ICO get up to a million dollars in funding or more when people don’t know what the project is about.

What I feel as a scam in ICO is when a ICO asks thousands of millions for just an idea. Not every ICO are scam but some of them are risky to invest. More the risk is important, more the profits (or the loss) can be important.

In fact a coin released without an ICO can be a scam too, I've already seen that, so scam are not only made with ICOs.

Well it's just a matter of reseaeching the ico that have most potential and teams that are actively coordinating with their project. There are a lot successful ico now tgat are listed in exchanges like in bittrex, many of those tokens or coin now started in having a ico and they are successful now . We just need to do more research each time

That might be how it is now and that is how it was back then. It's really a gamble to see what ICO is going to do well because some of the ICO don't really make it past the launch period.

I know of Icobid, mostly everyone thought that it was going to be a good coin to invest in though the price of it went down so fast that so many people got angry.

I don’t think that ICO are scam or risky. ICO always turn out be best investment if the have already invested into big advertising platforms. That makes us sure about there legitimacy. I am completely into ICO now and earn big from it only. Atlas ICO won’t let you down like the coins which are rusting out in the market with zero investment value.

If you researched the ICO, and it seemed the general consensus that people liked it, wouldn't the ICO at least be good for a quick pump and dump? Most of the "good" ICO's seem to have a good first day on the market. Or maybe first couple of days. Where the price goes way up just because its the first day/s. Wouldn't a good pump and dump strategy be, buy into an ICO and then sell it at the end of the first day? Just ride that initial wave that you know is coming. On the first day.

Good idea, or bad idea?

Not all ICO coins are shit. Just make sure to choose a good coin with a good business model. You can get a big profit in ICO by buying the coin on its early stage where theres a big discount. From the discount rate you already have a profit.

Now the hard part is by waiting the coin to arrive in the exchange site. Once the coin has arrived from the exchange site, dump it immediately. Wait for the next few days until all investors dump their shares. Then rebuy all coins from the dip. Another profit!

That's why it's interesting, 100$ can easily become +8000$, math is simple here all we need to do is invest in right coin. Risk is high and probably many coins will worth 1 satoshi in the future, look at yobit, they have many coins that worth 1 satoshi with 0 volumes, but some coins are traded for years and even they do not have some high price they are surviving.
Most important thing to look when you ste joining some ICO or buying some coins is to look trade volume, do they have active community and how many people is interested in that coin. Very important thing is what some coin offers and their plans for the future, I don't know much about dev teams, but I always check is there scam accusations against some of them, good dev teams work for their coins, upgrade it all the time, solve the bugs, etc, its good to be part of community like that one and to buy while prices are low, future can bring many surprises, it important to be ready for it.

In my own opinion, I believe it not all the ICO that are scam. Although in as much as I have that believe I will still not advice anyone to invest all of his/her capital in just one ICO or investment. But it will be less risky to spread your capital into different ICO or investment opportunity in other to have a little rest of mind on your investment.

The rest of what you mentioned in that sentence is usually fairly easy to check out. But allegations of a scam are a bit harder to verify. It looks to me like every single coin that ever existed, has been called a scam and usually in a somewhat believable manner. I'm not saying you can't find out, but it is a bit more difficult.

Many of them are great success in this month only and investing in them is always good way of investing your money.

I think most of them are a scam but some coins are not. But still they give profits and that's what matters. As the problem with altcoins is its pump and dump, you can sell the altcoin quickly at pump if you feel the altcoin is not that good. You can also not invest.

The user name of the OP (DCR****) showing clearly that he is the fan of the DCR coin or a big holder of the coin DCR , so that he is listed the DCR coin in the  list of the his favourite coin .
Well here honestly I am the successful person who made much profit in DCR and zec coin .
Here op is 100% true , and I agree with him with the risk of ICO investment , because I myself lost money about 2 times in the ico because of the down in the price and second time got scammed ( actually not scam that was lack of information provided by the ico by hmq team ) Actually I withdraw HMQ coin at the ETH address of poloniex exchange but I didn't get my deposit through HMQ coin but after one day they said that don't withdraw at direct address , use only myethwallet .But at the part I already lost my money :( and only made return of investment about 30% and rest of loss of principal investment .

Don't most ICO's see a big pump on the first day that they are on the market?


Do most ICO's make a lot of money on the first day they hit the exchange? Because, you can just dump the ICO on the very first day. You would buy into the ICO before it ever hits the market. Then on the first day when the price is way up, you dump it and make a profit.

Is this what happens with most ICO's?

If so, then who really cares if an ICO has a good long term strategy for being successful. All that would matter would be that they were good at hyping up their coin.

I think initial coin offering is a good idea that wasn't implemented into life without disadvantages. The latter are mainly connected to the fact that many people are now able to copy some code, slightly change it and say that this is the future of our money. At the same time it enables poor smart people to get rich and contribute something into the market of currencies. Although there are some good things about ico, I am surprised that most of people hasn't voted for it being a scam.

This is not a rule. You can be dumb and take high risk with literally very little profit. Worst ICO model for me :
- 30 days period to invest (or more)
- Huge ad campaign.
- Token released just one week after the ended period.

So everyone who want to buy can for a long time, and there is no time to hype the final product.

Sure. But I still don't understand how people can invest so much money on wannabe companies that have no products yet, no track records. ICO's are pretty much backed by hot air.

There is no magic to ICOs. You have to do proper due diligence as you would with any investment. But the ICO paradigm will put opportunities in front of investors that would ordinarily go into the hands of venture capitalists. Remember public blockchain businesses are going to be very disruptive to many business areas in the coming decades and this is precisely what ICOs are!
Then there are the ones like the one my company First Global Credit (https://www.firstglobalcredit.com/) is sponsoring AICOIN. AICOIN (https://aicoin.io/) is an investment collective. THIS COULD NOT EXIST BEFORE THE BLOCKCHAIN. AICOIN takes the pool of money we collect in the ICO and using already profitable Artificial Intelligence models will trade the top 7 cryptocurrency markets. We will take the profits from that trading and invest in a portfolio of A.I. and blockchain companies. This is for the benefit of the token holder collective. Decisions for how the money is used, what investments we make and how profits are distributed will be decided by the collective through the mechanism of the token.
If anyone is interested in reading the whitepaper (https://aicoin.io/whitepaper/) or investing some money in the ICO you need to create an account. (https://account.aicoin.io) Log in and invest. There are still a few days left to the pre-subscription period. Investors during this period (https://aicoin.io/incentives/) will receive extra tokens.

I am pretty sure that you won’t get that much people interested in your project because of the click-bait title plus how do you expect people to invest in something that you will not provide to the people unless they are registered on that website?
There isn’t anything special about this project it, it reminds me of a half-scam half charity project. I will definitely not purchase a coin from this project because you are asking for so much with so little information.

Just because the market is bearish,we should not ignore good ICO that are going on.Market is mostly affected by sentiments and you never know which new project turn around the whole market.
I have recently invested in https://www.digitaldevelopersfund.com/ico/ because I like the combination of Domains industry and crypto.DDF will invest in domains and crypto.If one market is down,other can make up for the loss

Of course we should not invest on such ico project without certain information to suport for it's definite positions of the project. Although some few ico sounds bad with their reputations to other people, but in the end they turn out successful despite of negative feedbacks like on bounty distributions. About half scam projects, well I could not pin point the exact proof of it unless there's a strong reasons to accuse on their side.

Investing in ICOs is what I personally prefer, you get your coins at a cheaper price with bonuses. For me, it's better than buying the coin from exchanges. Besides, If you want to be a successful investor, don't be afraid to take risks since there is risk involved in every investment.

Rule of thumb do not invest money in an ICO you do not see to be creditable enough to go all the way with developing the project in the first place

ICOs do have lots of potential to reap profits from them and they are definitely a good cheap source for viable projects, i guess nothing to be afraid of if you do your research before investing

Personally, I don't go for ICOs and wait for it to hit the exchanges. If the project makes good sense, there's a solid team behind it, and the general consensus of the crypto community is optimistic, then I would expect the project to be successful.

some ICO's are scam Not all . Most of the ICO really given profit . I you look into ICo site you will get developer details and other legal advisor details . As well as you have to find the best blockchain solution provided by ICO.

Good point. There are 3 days left to aicoin.io pre-subscription period and investors are taking advantage of the bonus tokens we are offering. I just hope that a bunch of them don't jump ship immediately after as I have been told people do. I guess there's nothing you can do about that. I think that would bug me because I have alot of my work invested in this project. Not to mention my own money.

ICO's are the possible source that majority of the users prefer for their earning through the digital currency network. Very few ICO were found to be scams and the rest are successfully. Now I too was into part of an successful ICO project.

Are you sure that the coins from ICO is at high risk ? ICO nowadays are on the highest list to earn money. You can invest money from here and you can earn as much as two times the value. Most of the time yes, it was a risky thing to do, but you can earn twice the value from your invest.

Alright guy. i understand ICOs are a big risk but remember not all people here can mine and have time for bounties so if they want to invest somewhere that their investment will be mobile then ICO is all that i know about. I might be wrong and will cherish it a lot if someone correct me here

I would just say that if you are investing in ICOs, spread around, don't bet big on any one.  The odds are that some will be successful.

I don't believe in ICO.
Though you can see some successful ICO over Marketplace but There is high possibility to loss seed money in ICO.
