Title: ICO investing: the questions you have to ask youself
Post by: Dr0idGuru on November 18, 2017, 12:44:23 PM
Some friends ask me if they should invest in ICOs.
I always say for every ICO that they should ask the 4 magical questions:
    1) What is the size of the Market the token is addressing ?
    2) What is the role played by the token in the market ? Is central ?
    3) How capable is the team to deliver the token to be successful ?
    4) Is the Hardcap Vs % of token distributed reasonable ?

If all the 4 questions have "yes" as an answer, "go for it".

For the current ICOs that you are investing, I would you answer to these 4 questions ?

Answering that for the coins I'm buying currently (https://appcoins.io pre-sale):

1) Android app store is huge. More than 80% uses Android and when they buy things inside the games, as to go through the app store
2) Paying every investment in advertising (developers) and every purchase in games (users) with the token is central. The token is used for everything.
3) The protocol will be implemented by different app stores, so I think it would depend on the app store. The first app store to adopt it is Aptoide with a team of 85 people and 3 offices, able to reach a user base of 200 million unique users)
4) $18M hard cap for 40% is not cheap but it's align with the user base and potential of the token

Disclaimer: I'm investing in AppCoins so I might be biased.

Som more:

5) Is there any traction the project has? Or is it just a vision?
6) Is there a real need on the market for this product?
7) How deep the team sees their own market? Do they have real roadmap to make a sustainable business on their idea?
