Bitcoin Forum

Just curious how many ICO's people here have in their portfolio.
And how much money on average invested in a single one.

I have 10 different ICO in my portfolio, 7 of them are from bounties and airdrops and the other icos are from investment.

I invested in 3 ICOs already, 2 of them were successful (VIB, MTH) and another one dropped below the price of ICO.

I just start my investing history, i try to know everything I can abt interesting projects, so i take me a lot of time and forces
So I invest right now in one project (200$), and waiting for another one in November

Thanks for responding guys, funny how very few people would like to share that.

I wouldn't exactly call Monetha a success, post ICO price is 1/2.

Just invest in ones you feel confident about, doesn't have to be a defined number. Important point is not to spread yourself too thin. If your only investing $50 in an ICO you may not do as much research or think "It's only $50". If your investing in $500 you'd do alot more research and spend time in that community getting a feel for what the product is about. Ultimately the $500 vs $50 is going to win out if you do decent research.

Currently, 2, but I keep analyzing the ICO market, there're lots of scams, need more research work

I've not had much look with investing in ICOs.

First I invested in rarricoin but that crashed and i'm still driving around in my old banger.

Then I invested in mooncoin and that flopped.

Then I invested in Firstblood because I like rambo and that too flopped.

Finally I invested in hackergold because I thought "if hackers are involved its bound to moon!" but I was wrong.

So far i've lost a lot of money but I think I can get it all back in the next get rich quick scheme: I'm going all in on PUNDI X.  I've read there Whitepaper and it shares a lot of the same traits as the other ICOs i've invested in.  I know they were a flop but I think they just hit the market too soon.  PUNDI X will make me $1m from my $10 investment easily.

much love

because "average people" don't know about ICOs and even if they know about it, they will stay away because they know it is illegal in many countries and also it is highly risky.

people who invest in these ICOs are only people who are familiar with bitcoin and have an investment in it. mostly traders and those who are desperately looking for a profit and also have a gambling mentality. you would be surprised to see how many are like this.

sadly this leads to a lot of crap ICOs being created every day and it leads to good projects being overlooked and being buried under the loads and loads of ICO.

I mainly have ICO coins from airdrops and a few from bounties, but very little from buying. I tend to buy only to supplement the bounties and airdrops I get for coins that I like and think have a good future.
With ICOs you need to be careful not to get carried away with the hype.

I invested on about 3 ICOs already the INS, Playkey, Eth, and all of them are successful all you have to do is give your time  to them and follow their given instructions so that you will be rewarded fairly after the bounty campaign, on average I think there are many ICOs people invest in, my guess or opinion is about 20 ICO per person that is only my hypothesis, some courageous person tend to have more ICOs to invest with.

I don’t invest in ICO ... they seem too risky for me.  There are a fair amount of ICOs that either tank on the open market or the developer simply makes off with the money.  I wait for the price discovery, and some signs of stability, on the open market before deciding if it’s worth it. 

I try not to risk right now (although I took part in Bounty programs of certain ICOs), but my buddy, also the user of this forum often risks, and even managed to earn enough money to invest again into alts.

There is no such data available. Its all anonymous :)

It might seem even more dangerous if you have enough money to invest in many ICO projects separately so you can get the most out of your profit instead of getting rewarded through a single ICO project,

Some would prefer to have 5 or even 10 ICO's in their portfolios but imo I find it easy to keep track of less than 5 ICO's progress, investing in too much becomes a higher risk and I believe it's best to keep risk at a minimum level.

I think I invest around in 1 or 2 ICO each month or maybe every two month. But right now it's too risky I think...it's better to keep your ethereum in your ledger nano S in my opinion Ethereum will be very very hard at the end of the year. So it is better to keep it and also less risky cuz Ethereum cant go very low

There are so many bounty programs available, airdrops also, users want to have as many of those to increase the amount tokens they have to invest late in ICOs or other Altcoins.
Participating in mutliple ICOs is a good idea to get tokens.

I don't think five or ten is hard to keep track of at all. An hour a day checking ANNs and social media, that's all. And it's the sensible way to do it. Many ICOs will fail. It pays to be well-diversified because you're looking for a whale investment. You're looking for a 100x or better. You don't want to be locked into one ICO that fails when you could have put 10% into one that actually succeeds and gains global market share. Diversification reduces risk.

Personally, I haven't invested in any ICOs. I've been paid ICO tokens for bounty work -- I usually hold those. Otherwise I prefer to wait and see how the exchange market reacts to listing.

ICO is currently at a tremendous risk and individuals investing make prudent investment decisions. At present, 90% of the ICO break, we all pay attention to, in the case of major cryptocurrencies are rising, do more analysis, or loss is yourself. Responsible for themselves, it is recommended to participate less ICO. What do you think?

Exactly, I can hardly think of any person who can tell you the exact statistics in this regard. There is no one out of us who actually knows this things. According to my knowledge, the number of investors who are investing their capita in ICOs is not that much significant figure as compared to that of bitcoin but things are getting in favor of ICO with each passing day. You can hope for some positive results in near future.

I actually don't have any altcoins that comes from ICO's because I afraid to get scammed since a lot of ICO are scam so better for me to wait and then invest later on. Be careful on investing with some ICO and hopefully you make good money on that.

I have 20+ ICO's on my portfolio. i have invested in all promising ICO's. I think investing ICO most profitable than trading.

I think there are 9 main crypto currencies, people invest in: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Monero, Factom, Counterparty, Lisk, ZCash, Ripple. All of them has own advantures and disadvantures. People choose the currency for their needs, and these 9 crypto currencies can boast better characteristics.
The above crypto currencies are suitable for investment.

 I invested in 5 of them 1k divided evenly.

I think people have probably from 1-5 investment's but not all of them make you profit, but some of them can really have a good grow, but it's really difficult to find ICO  with good potential, better to compare different ICO's or use websites which score each ICO

It is best to invest in just a few and not too many ICOs. To much ICO investment could lead to utter failure of your financial state if you invested everything. Only one, maybe two ICOs are enough to invest in if it is thoroughly considered taking in mind developers project ideas and future improvement. Not one ICO is safe so many people invest into more ICOs and are hoping for profit but in most cases of that format usually, most of the ICOs fail and people get cut off their possible profit. Invest in just a few and invest smartly!

Have $200.00 invested in ICO which I obtained a 30% bonus. I am hoping to resell it after it get on exchange then i reinvent my capital back to next good project.
