Hey guys,

I'm starting off with a relatively small budget, but I do want to invest in a few ICOs. However I have no idea what can be a potentially profitable amount, not necessarily short term, but in the long-ish run.

How much do you guys invest in an ICO that you believe in on average ?

everything from about 100 to 1000 $. Maybe more if I am very sure, that it will rise. Most of the time it would be better to buy it after the ICO phases...but yeah I cant wait if I think it is worth it :D

I take chances with ICO a lot. For a very good project, invest between $1000 to $5000. For project I am not certain of, I invest between $100 to $200

I normally invest about $2000 in an ICO if the project looks promisable in the future,but most of the ICO are not successful so choose the right ICO to invest or else you might lose your hard earned money.

If I fully trust it, I can invest something around 5 ETH approximately. If I liked the idea, but not about the team, I invest around 1-2 ETH generally. This  is my style.

1-10 ETH, with multiple ICO's below their initial price, anything else is assuming quite a bit of risk.

This depends on the project itself. If I see a lot of potential I am willing to invest more, but for projects that only have a certain level of potential, and dont look that promising to me, I rather go in with a little money, just in case it takes off. So that I dont loose out if it does. In most cases I go in with around $250 - $500. But this strategy also failed in more cases then it did work out, most of these ICO's I invested in are now below ICO price and I would have had a lot more gains if I just stayed in BTC. But thats the risk.

In my case, I invest 10-50$ on ICO's that I believe are average. In fact I rarely invest on ICO's because I only invest on ones that I see potential for growth. If I am certain of an ICO's success and it's profitability, I invest more than 500$ or more depending on my budget for that month. For long term holding though I invest as much as 1400$ especially on ICO's like omisego and other top coins. Still, at least 10$ would be a profitable amount itself if one is in for long term.

I'm using the following rule of thumb:

• If I like the concept and wanna "see what happens", typically 0,5 to 1 ETH
• For projects with good team, product and user base generally 2,5 to 5 ETH
• For projects I'm really bullish about (niches that I know), 5 ETH and above

These are my figures, but I know friends using the same proportion within their own budgets (some higher, some lower than mine). But in any case as new ICOs are popping up on a daily basis, its super important to stay cautious and do some research before funding the ICO. Try to diversify your investment across multiple projects and be prepared that you might suffer a heavy blow.

No one can really dictate how much you must invest because it is all up to you. How much are you willing to risk? How much can you afford to lose? It is all based on your budget. You will be the one to decide for yourself so you won't have to blame anyone who told you the price. Just my opinion :)

My strategy for profit in ICO,
1. I firstly select ICO after a bit of research, the team, the plan and how the coin can be profitable.
2. I use 1/10th of my current ETH for buying token (a strict rule that helps control emotional buyings).
3. I get the coins as early as possible to get the largest pre-sale bonus.

for now i invest in ico only 20 ETH i have. for the future maybe more if ico project success.

It totally depends on my view of the business and project behind the ICO. I only buy for the long term, so I need to have complete faith in the offering and more crucially the team behind the offer. That said I'd never go all in! You need a diversified portfolio...

Depends on the ICO for sure, but usually it would be anything between $500-$1000K initially.
Then if all goes well, you work from there.

Investing in ICOs is risky. I invest no more than 200$ in one ico but is buy much more after ICO when prices are lower.

Last two ICO where i send my Eth was Qchain and micromoney and i sended 2eth to each.
But usually i invest less, but this i like very much!

I usually do an investments that cost me around $200 to $500 per ICO, that would be risky if you just dump your pennies out of them without reading the white paper and without conducting a proper research about their project, their coin and the background of their team which will have a big role for an ICO.

If I've found out that they really have a strong foundation and dedication to win the project added by the supporters and the purpose of the coin i will invest $1000 because it boost my confidence that my investments will grow up because of the trust that they are building to the clients. Well I'm looking forward for my Sig campaign Angel Token because they have a pretty good team and still reading the White paper so far so good.

to invest in iCO you must really think carefully and be sure to choose a successful ICO. investing in ico does have a big risk but it can also give big profits. I make an average investment in ICO for only about $ 100- $ 500.

Well, My average of investing in ICO ranges between $50 to $1000. Anyone might say that this is very small amount of investment, but considering how many scams are talking place in the name of ICO, i just afford small amount, so if any day my invested ICO scammed, i may not regret that i put a whole lot of my money into it.

For investments, I can invest 6 or 7 ETH, but I have to see the concept and vision of the mission first, how in the future, if the concept and vision of the mission is very good maybe I will not think again to really invest. in the ICO project.

If I feel like gambling I play poker.

there are a lot of SCAM now, so 100$ or less

The long-ish run phrase is the key point in your question.  I do not think anyone has a good answer for that other than Nostradamus.  

Invest in projects you understand and believe in with an amount of money your willing lose.

An ICO I am currently looking at is Propthereum.io. They are an asset backed cryptocurrency on the blockchain expecting a 1566% coin appreciation in a short period of time. All proceeds raised from their ICO will be used to purchase A-grade property worldwide. This will generate a rental income and underlying value for the PTC token holder. The great thing about this concept is that the coin will always increase in value. Propthereum.io launches 20 November so check them out.

It depends on a project. From 500 to 5000. If i'm not 100% sure then i will make it low. It's also depends
when the project is gonna be on market. Don't like long terms

You need to maximize ICO investment diversification. In today's market, this is the only way to get something really valuable and make x5-x10. One such coin will cover all your losses and will bring you profit in general.

Well, as for me though, since i do not have the luxury of having funds to dedicate on investing into ICOs, i invest time and effort instead. And buolding quite a good amount already over the months. But not that much yet.

But assuming i already have gathered enough funds for investing, i would gather as much names as i can and filter them out one by one. Don't care about how much effort i put into it as long as i am sure of my investments, i forget the fatigue. In fact i already do that, minus the money investments. I would basically study them all, and hand pick the top 3-5 best ICOs then divide the funds to each one. Ranging from greatest potential to lowest.

If you're asking that question. You most likely shouldn't yet. Take a look at few of the ICOs, see what other people think, do some research first. Don't make any rash decisions because you will regret them.
There are other ways to invest your coins as well. Gambling sites for one as mentioned (investing in the bankroll). Or you can simply just hold your coins, that is an investment in itself. The price is bound to increase long-term, if you have patience.

participated in single ico at the time will cannot gain a profit. In crypto ico is the most risky thing, just choose wisely the ico you choosing. You need to research it clearly on every project in want to invest. It's hard to determine a good ico, seeing it through websites, blog and social media is not to prove of a good ico.

JOIN ICO
ICO is Until august 30, 2018

I have never invested in any ICO. ICO is investment is a bit risky because you never now the project is going to be a successful venture or not. I follow the interesting project after the ICO finished and buy the tokens when they are listed on exchange.
I usually invest between $1k - 1.5k.

I think you guys should also indicate your completed roadmap as you just put July 2018 as project finalization. I don't know but you're more likely popped out of nowhere. And I didn't even see your team on your website neither on your whitepaper. Also whitepaper is too damn boring and short like it's more than a one pager.

I don't know but it's too shady for me.

I usually spend between 5-10k per ICO.  The payout are so big on the ones that hit you can afford to take a bunch of losses and still come out.  If one hits I usually sell 80% and keep a 20% moon bag.  If things get really crazy and I can exit before total failure I do.  you begin to recognize patterns of shit ICO's after a while.

I go for $100 as my maximum investment with ico, that's because I only have limited fund and I still believed that we must only invest the amount that we can afford to lose if anything happens. I am a risk taker but I have my limits with regards to participating in any ico. But I knew someone who could go and gamble huge money for ico and he could spend up to 1 grand and up with his capital.

Not sure about how much it is. However, if I want to invest in ICO, there will be like the minimal buy amount in that ICO. However, if we want to buy the token in the exchange, it will depend on each coin and our money. I buy the altcoins at least more than 100$.

If you are new to cryptocurrency, then you could start around $500. And then you try to play with it and split the money into a portfiolio of safe investments like the top 20, crypto, and invest some on altcoins

Most of the time I don't invest a lot of money. >:(
Because the risk of ICO is very high, then I may have a large loss, but I cannot afford too high loss.

For me it depends on how appealing the project is and how much they convince me to invest. Lately a lot of ico projects have been a little stale and not amusing for me. But if I find a good and ICO that really won me over I am willing to invest a lot. A good project is always worth investing.

Not everything is a scam though. So I would say go out and find a good one, check all the pertinent formation and do background check, and then invest $300 or around that much. It won't be a waste if you're confideny in what you invested at.

You only need $ 200- $ 500 to invest in ICO, I usually invest in ICO with $ 200, I think it's enough to invest and get lots of profits, the most important thing in investing in ICOs is that you have to have data and information about ICO and never greedy.

Most of ICOs are fake and scamming with investors, so you need to verify before invest in any ICO after that you should invest little amount up to $100 and spread you investment in different projects.

I don't invest more then 5% of my deposit in one ICO because it's my money management. If several ICO which i invested will fail and show 0.9x or lower ROI this will have a slight impact on the size of my investment portfolio.

I usually invest 30% of the funds I have, of course before investing, I have to be very careful in choosing the ICO by reading the white book and looking for information about the ICO's prospects.

After my last $ 1,500 investment in the Envion project, which raised more than $ 100 million in investment and turned out to be fraud, I'm now scared to make investments wherever, because even the self-promoted project can be a scam as a result. But if in the future I will decide to make any investment in the crypto currency, its amount will not exceed $ 100-200!

0.1-2 eth is average amount of investment in popular ICOs. it is hard to get higher allocation if you aren't private sale contributor or multiacc farmer. For ordinary participants 1-2 eth is max allocationin such icos like Dxchain, origo

I usually generate nothing but that would be actually good because I mostly ended up with a loss now with my past ico investments. I don't think I can think of investing in ico now.

One ETH is my general investment quota, because I am not a rich person, so there are too many ICO projects, so I invest one ETH in each project, so I generally can bring the return of X3 to me. ;D

The equivalent of USD 50 or 100 is the very minimum to be able to gain anything meaningful out of it, if you are very young. Otherwise I would suggest USD 500 or 1,000 at least, to make any sense. And not one ICO, but a basket of many, to diversify your risk!

I have been recently following Stellar that is generally on the rise and the tokens issued on the Stellar platform - now there is a bump like in any cryptocurrency over the past few days, but generally Stellar is on the rise because of the prospective Coinbase listing and other advances. This will also boost tokens issued on the Stellar platform...

My most recent find among alts is AXU, "Argentas Exchange Unit" token issued on the Stellar platform and listed and verified on the Stellarport decentralized exchange, now only at its pre-distribution, or pre-ICO phase. A true hidden diamond, with low profile so far. Experienced people clearly, and cool tech for decentralizing and revolutionizing global banking - their website at argentas.io (http://argentas.io).

The pre-ICO price is 50% cheaper than the ICO price, a sure winner IMO, and I will certainly get some. They also have an ANN thread, I think here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4431900.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4431900.0). I dug really deep in their content, and it is really cool stuff ;D But don’t forget your own research!

For investment, in the last month I chose ICO. I invest $ 500-1000. There are cheaper tokens with new technologies!  ;)

50 percent of my savings or extra money.
this is for sure and secure investment.
i know that for me the number 1 rule in investing on any ICO is never go all in.

About 5,000$ for each project I invest. But not every project I invest in because I'm not a rich person. Most of the projects I invest in are from Krypital group. They have very good quality ICO projects. And I only invest in those ICOs that are involved in marketing

I invest in ICO projects from 1-4 ETH depending on the reliability and quality of the project ! Just delve into the idea !

I have already invested in some IcO and the results are disappointing. I just lost my capital and lost it. therefore I prefer not to invest in ico again. better invest in bitcoin or altcoin that has been tested.

I usually invest about $100 in to ICO and I try to find - up to five promising ICO's by the month. Some of those ICO's I find are scams, but some generate huge potential to the future, so my loss will be covered.

Actually just invest only when i got the reward from bounties.
Usually do 50% invest from my reward from bounties or airdrops

Yeah right. Right now cryptocurrency is almost like gambling. You don't really know and you can't know if things are going well with you or not.

I think everything will return to the strength of our capital. And even though it's small, dividing on some ico will be better for increasing opportunities. And I think starting from 3 Eth for 5 ico is a pretty good thing for a beginner like me.

I try to invest in projects after they have carried out ICO, now such a trend when even successful projects after listing on the stock exchange immediately fall at times in price. Therefore, I invest in projects after their listing on the stock exchange. To date, I have invested in 2 projects 2000$. Entered gradually for $ 200-300 averaging the price.

Generally, I don't invest much in ico, but if I invest in ico, I will invest around 50eth. If ico makes money, the yield of 50eth is still very high.

Today though it is very good project that I fully believe in like oax I would not invest even one usd in them in the ico because we can buy at the same price after ico, then why ico?

If you are on a very low budget I suggest that buy some after its ICO because there is a tendency that if the project has a bounty campaign the dumpers will like to sell the tokens below the ICO price and your bag will be full even though you have a small budget and after that start trading more buy low sell high because i double my tokens on to that and the positive to that is you only need the minimum requirements fee required by the exchange so the small budget is not a problem.

The basic rule you must follow is always: Never invest more than your wallet allows. I think the minimum amount to invest in an ICO is 1 ETH. I think this is the optimal amount for investment.

I average only about a 1,000 per ICO and that's only because I have made decent money trading crypto.  I would normally invest smaller amounts than 1000.  I do lose some of the time but over all the wins outweigh the losses. 

I would like to spend $300 to $500, which was amount I can take risk. In cryptocurrency, only invest amount which you have no curse on losing.

Before investing, I will have to research carefully about an ICO and will spend 30 percent of my savings to bet on it.

I invest in ico in which I'm 99% sure not more than 1 eth, and in ico in which not quite sure no more than 0.5 eth

I often invest maximum 1ETH in an ICO.
last year, I invest in 5 ICO. all of ICO that I invested, I was carefully researched and then invested.
investing in ICOs are very risky, invest what I willing to lose. he...

It is actually depend on the project, those that I had done research and their previous project was successful one, I will throw more of my money in it.

I would say don't invest more than 10% of your money into an ICO unless you really believe in that project. Also, you may be better off waiting for the exchanges because most icos go lower than the ico price these days.

In my opinion I would advise you not to invest more than you are willing to lose in an ICO, because you might be right about your analysis of the project but it is still possible for it to drop. I personally think it is a bit better to wait for an ico to list on an exchange because most ICOs that launch in this bear market fall once they list. This is due to the market conditions.

I myself try to invest a limited amount of money in ICO. although i first do a lot of study before investing my money in ICO.

actually investing is one of my main busoness rifght now so i thonk i can say that i onvest a lot and gry to have up to sdate news

i think that if ylu choose the ico right you can i vest and i believthat it will surely bring youa  lot od money nowadays

Yes it is depending on the project, but I think that it is also depending on your budget. If you have a good amount of money then you will defiantly like to invest more money in a good project. I think that we should invest such amount of money in icos which we can easily afford to lose, because we are not sure that either we will make money from ICO investment or will even lose our own investment.

As a rule, I invest in ico with money that I make from bounties in case the cookies crumble.

I think that the most important is not the amount of investment but how a person knows how to manage money. After all even millions can be invested in shit coins and stay at a loss.

This will depend on whether the project is good or bad. If you are sure this is good and has a good potential for the future then invest largely will certainly promising. But while it was still in doubt then take only a small part of it just in case. and I think $500 to $1000 capital has become good enough to use on average.

You need to choose a worthy ICO before investing in it. To look and to localize pluses and minuses, and then that that to put. The more you invest the more you get, and the unpromising ICO will return your investment to you.

I try to avoid investing in ICOs and if this happen, I select hype projects like Fantom. It is hard to get allocation there, so it was like 500-700$ (1-1.5 eth according to old rates).
Now they will change this amount in eth

I use to invest in ICO alot and truth be told,i have lost so much on ICOs not knowing they are scam project
I used to invest like 100 or 200  monthly on ICO but i am very broken right now because they ended up in shit project

if you believe that you can make a profit by investing ico, then it would be better if you invest in it. but it needs to be noted that investing in ico is not an easy thing. we have to be able to choose ico correctly in order that we can get the legit ico.

i invested 5-10-15 ethereum for icos this good ico times. but now i scare about losing 1 ethereum. because of that i m not interesting in ico's right now.

Usually, I don't invest my money in an ICO project. I will do diversified investment, which will minimize the risk of loss.

depending on the project, an average of 200 to 500 dollars, now investing more is too dangerous because coins do not show such growth as before

Not an ICO investor, but I have decided to put several dollars to few projects as I have put my trust in them. It was unironically not even 10 dollars, so I don't expect a lot from it (maybe of it claims BTC´s position, and I would not be against it at all  ;D). I am investing my time, and that is enough for me. The reason why I don't throw my money to every single project with buzzwords like "blockchain" "revolutionize" "decentralized" is that I have seen so many of them fail in front of my eyes even when I was quite optimistic about them. But nothing says that the market would never ever be like a year ago, so who knows?  ;)

Hard for me to find great ICO, so if i want to join in ICO, i just start with little capitals, $100 or more. I also dont have real world job, so i must control all finances. Ya only use small capitals, i can earn about 10x even more if i sell it at the right time. Maybe now, i only invest about $100 but i will try to increase it

If i find a very good ico with awesome investors i can invest between 5 k dollar and 15 k dollar.  surely that is not for now . but in next bull season i can still continue to do that.

200 USD is equivalent to 1 Ethereum and if the price goes up you will profit in the ICO around 100% to 400 USD and equal to 2 EThereum.
What type of ICO do you like to be successful in the future?

Now I do not invest in ICO, but earlier, when I first started investing, I tried to invest in the project from 100 to 200 dollars, later this amount reached 1000 dollars, but it was extremely rare.

It actually depends on the project type, and how much I believe in the ICO. IF after doing my analysis, and every other thing that is needed to be done, and I'm satisfied in my results, I just might go all in with the ICO. But if I have a few doubts with the project, but I have interests in it regardless, I choose to invest a safe amount in it.

It depends on the ICOs minimum investment and ofcourse it all depends on your financial capability. Do not go beyond your capacity, any investment is risky. As you know majority of ICOs this year failed due to lack of market demand in crypto.

I invested in ICO only 15% of my Deposit. I believe that reasonable management of your capital is the main task of any investor.

I have failed in investing once and lost me $100,000, so I think ICO is too risky and I don't invest in it now.

The minimal amount if I want to try what happens. Usually not more than 0,2 Eth. The last great ICO was UBEX. It was traded on exchanges before the end of the token sale and the tokens were worth x4. But two days after, the everything dumped.

That's pretty good, and your investment in crypto is pretty low, but my opinion is that it's good, because the market is constantly declining, the investment in crypto is quite risky. ro, so we only expect small capital is the most reasonable.

Well it depends on the ico i invest.

My biggest investment was 10 eth when eth was 300$ and my lowest was 1 eth when it was 500$

So it seems 500$ to 3000$.

yes if you are still studying $ 100 it is enough to invest in ICO, sometimes the ICO will increase by 1000% if you choose the right ICO, but the problem is that many ICOs are now cheating fake pretenders, in fact there is no action from ICO organizers

Wow I think you have make a good profits on your investments on ICO. I'm hoping that sooner I can get a capital to invest in ICO as I still believe that their still few good projects to come that worth to invest and can give us good profits in the future.

It depends on the project, there are some hyped project then that I feel are quality project and invested more than the ones that are not hyped. I think the best thing is to be discipline and invest the same amount of fund into all investments because those projects that are not hyped attimes give better return than the hyped projects

The amount of money is not so significant for the beginning because your income will allow you to put more money there. So first investment could be very small. My first one was near $100.

How much do you think I should Invest in this Ico, Or should I Just skip?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5046693.msg46678506#msg46678506

Thx!

Invest only your extra money invest what you could afford to lose.
But it also depends on you on how much do you trust or believe in their team and project.

I have invested near the $1000 but it is not the end as I can see because as bigger my income as bigger my investments in the real time and in future.

A good question that makes you think about how much I really spent on my adventures, it seems to me that in general a lot, if you understand that now I’m not earning so much I mean normal work in the real world.

For now it is very difficult to find a good ICO, I think finding a non-deceiving ICO has been very lucky. Every day there is a new ICO project, and most are deceiving. I have never invested in the ICO Project, I try trading and it's more profitable.

This investment direction is high-risk, which is why it is impossible to allocate most of your Deposit. I decided that $10k was enough for that.

Actually, the amount of money that i spent in ICO depends solely on the quality of the ICO. The concept should always be on top priority because the more competitors it has on the market, the slower it will grow especially if its competitors are already well established.

I think you can try even with a small capital, this depends on your ability and desire. actually it's not important, the most important part is the knowledge that you must get first.

Mist times, the first thing to consider when you want to invest in ICO is not the amount to invest, but the authenticity of the ICO you want to invest in. It is when you are sure of the project that you begin to consider to amount based on what you have and most especially what you can afford to loose.
Then,if this is your first time of investing, you cab just consider investing into just handful of ICOs and not going after all that you see.

Personally, I rarely invest in ICO, and my investment never exceeds $100 because it is very risky. Even playing Russian roulette is not as risky as investing in ICO.

I don't usually invest in an ICO but I guess if I am going to invest I would just spend my spare money.
Since I don't really trust ICO since most of them is just scam.

Generally, I prefer 10-15% of the portfolio I use for ICO and according to there minimum order value, investing in any ico is very risky so I don't put too much money on that. It is just like gambling either you will get a big profit on that or you will lose your hole invested money, so always invest in ico which you can afford to lose.
