Hey guys

Just wondering what others normally invest in each ICO they invest in and see what the rough average is

Thanks

in my opinion it depends on how much you can trust this ICO and your economy.for example i can't invest over a 1 BTC cause i don't have much money.

I invest usually between 1 Ether tops, that usually gets you a large amount of the coin so if it does take off I am okay. I personally like to spread my portfolio.

I invest in ICO less than 1 bitcoin. I think this is a good amount for investing and it's not a pity to lose it if the project turns out to be a scam.

When I choose a project I usually think about the amount of investment. If the project looks like reliable I am ready to invest a large amount. But still I never invest more than I can allow to lose.

I don’t value the worth of investment capital one can accommodate but the profit after holding is the most important.. Trust and development of one ICO project is a great start in evaluating an investors mindset that will translate into dollars of on bitcoin investments. If ever again I will spent for it then my signature speaks for what is the most worthy of..

I just a safe man investmen haha, i got spend my money less than 1 BTC because i didnt have a lot of money to invest them. I hope in 2018 i've invest more than 1 BTC.

It depends ( from person to an other ) on :
1) How much you can afford to lose & invest from what really you own ( not lent money )
2) how much the project is trusted ( you ought to attentively choose the project where you put your investment )
For me it's less than 1 BTC

I'm in under 1BTC category.

I usually buy tokens for 1ETH from every ICO I like and i very rare cases, like gambling ICO's, 2-3x ETH.

Honestly, this can't be argued by the way. As far as I know, that depends on how ico already put the maximum amount to invest for every participant. As long as you can invest that you afford to lose and it will be fine for you.
But ico already applied the maximum and minimum amount to invest in every account.

I wouldn't invest 1 BTC nowadays. The most I invested in an ICO was around 6 BTC, Bitcoin was much cheaper then.

It depends on the amount of money that is available at the time of the ico and the potential of the ico itself, usually i will invest 1 eth into ico but if i find a good one than i can increase thay amount to 3-5 eth. The most i have invested into ico is 5 eth for gvt.

Same. I also see the situation how much money I have when I want to invest. but at most I've only invested 0.5 BTC and no more because I'm still thinking about my other needs

I only invested with a minimum amount of investment in a ICOS because i dont have large amount of capital to support my investment in 5 or more ICOS. But i already invested .5 eth that is the largest ammount i invested this month.

If the token generated is for an ICO of already established company then I invest 1 to 2 Ether in it , but if it is a startup, I invest 0.5 Eth to 0.1 Eth, because that seems risky than a company already operating.

Most of the ICOs is very cheap especially on the early stages. I never invest more than 0.2 BTC in any ICO. Since they are cheap on early stages plus some bonus, my 0.2BTC can get me a lot of tokens already. It is important to get in early to get the cheapest price of the token. And of course, make sure that the project is worthy of investing otherwise you are just wasting your money.

When comes to invest, I always think about three rules:
1. how long I can wait for the money.
2. how much I can afford if I lose the money.
3. how to stay away from all those distractions or influences that might lead you to wrong decisions.

If you have answers to those three questions, you probably have your answer.

I always invest small amounts in multiple ICOs - usually 0.2 ETH - and when the ICO will go high 10x or even 100x - wonderful! When it crashes, it doesn't hurt so much.

Yes your right thats why do not trust your coin if it is you didn't read all the detail ot their project to avoid scam.

As for me, before investing I am really looking for so much information about the project, thinking if it is worth for me to invest in such ICO. After knowing the answers to my questions, I'll be now asking myself on how much would I be willing to invest for this project. We all should be money wise before starting in investments, we don't want to be scammed.

Of course it is up to the project but mine last one was just below 0.25 BTC.
I used to invest more mostly but BTC went up too much and I'm more careful while investing in ICOs.

For investing in ICO I never spent much btc. I do not dare to take much risk for projects that have not gone wrong and have not seen success. I invested in ICO, if the ICO held a signature campaign and paid with bitcoin per week. From pay-signature campaign I always buy it for ICO. As like for this time, I join with the signature campaign in Aida Service and automatically I have invested ICO Aida.

Currently I have invested 10% of my portfolio in ICOs.

I see to it that I only invest what I can afford to lose. As far as I know some of these ICOs have minimum investment so it is important for me to atleast reach that amount so I could participate. If I do have funds above the minimum then it is much better to invest everything as long as you trust that company that sooner or later your profit will be 10 folds of your investment.

 Will for its depend on a ico on  how many who trust on them and how many who invest on them.But for i only invest only 100$ minimum .thats my minimum invest because i budget my money in 4 ico... every time i earn from ico i been withdraw it and cash out it.But i will left 400$ for another 4 ico invest... thats my strategy for now because i dont have enoigh fund to invest big like 1btc and 1eth

With the high amount of ICO scams around, I only invest a very small part of my portfolio.
Most of the time when I have made enough profit from BTC or alts, I use about 5% to invest in an ICO.
ICOs are very high risk so the chance of losing your money is very high. Do your research on the ICO and only invest a bit.
So far I have invested in 3 ICOs and all were successful, recently I invested in a fourth. I stay away from them most of the time.

"dont put your eggs in one basket"
i always remember that since i decide to join ICO and investment.
usually i only put at range 100$ - 500$ in every ICO i followed depend on min invest they allowed.
i shared it to many ICO and some ICO falls but many are success,so i still gain some profit from every ICO i followed.

It depends if you really trust or have dig deep on a certain project. In my opinion if i have a good feeling about a project i would go all in because as we know if some ICO's did go well if will give you a 10 to 20 times ROI.

This often depends on the value or potential of this ICO project, and we want to see if their teams are of sufficient quality. The amount of investment will be determined for these reasons, the most important is whether we have enough bitcoin to invest.

Maybe $ 2,000 are eligible for either starting to invest in ICO. It's great that you get discounts there maybe 50% of the first stage you can buy Tokens. But of course you must remember the things you should not do. Just like investing immediately does not know whether it's a scam or not. And of course you should be patient because the ICOs are long after.

Exactly ! That's what we call 'DYOR' or Do Your Own Research.

It's hard to invest on some ICO's nowadays, more and more ICO's coming out just to scam peoples. I won't suggest to invest 1 bitcoin, this is a really big money. I only preferred to invest on a company that I think is a good project ranging from 1-3 ethereum.

Most of the time, I'm not very rich.
It is difficult to judge the good and bad of each ICO, so I will spread the funds into several parts, and each ICO investment will not exceed 1BTC. Because the ICO's investment cap is only a few ETH.

for me, under the price of 1 btc is enough to be invested in ICO. because I avoid the various irregularities in the ICO. meaning I still have doubts about the newly built altcoin so I avoid scam and others.

I will invest about 0.5BTC.
Because every ICO project will limit an investment quota, most of the time you will not be able to invest more, so I would like to invest 0.5 BTC is a reasonable solution.

As far as i think actually, it is not that simple to invest in icos as most of them are scams today. Usually, i invest more than 1000$ if i met a good ico in its start. I think then we can gain a high profit. But we have to be more patient i mean we have to go for long term trades not only the amount you invest in them. If you would like to invest in such a good coin, there is a well known good ico. It is The DAN (Daneel) ico.

Seems like a lot of ICO's aren't available in the United States.

I have the intention to invest 5- 10 Btc in cryptocurrencies ICOs because they are very profitable. The internet crypto space is growing every day with a market capitalization of over 500 billion dollars. Thus there is high demand and supply in the crypto market economy.

I think that more than 60% will be answer this question as "lower than 1 btc"
If there are 10k people are inversting in this forum I belive that investing amount is lower than 1 btc for 30% over all and 40% of people are investing around 1 - 10 btc and more than half of them are not ICO based investors so with explanation I made it is 50%. I put additionaly 10 percent as an answer also.
Poll question can be more remarkable if you ask investment percentage instead of amount.
So I would answer it as less than 5% also

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.

I agree with you. It is fairly obvious that majority of the users would choose the less than 1 BTC option in this poll since not many are willing to take big risks on ICOS these days after the plethora of scam ICOS  popping up on a regular basis. Personally, I almost lost 1 BTC, but decided not to invest at the last moment which turned out to be a great decision since the ICO turned out to be a scam and its developers ran away with a truckload of cash.

I voted for the under 1 btc option since most altcoins are very affordable and I am planning to hold them long term. I buy altcoins for holding using my extra money which is 20% of my monthly earning from my regular salary instead of just saving it in the bank. I use it to buy altcoins because I think it would be more profitable and money wise to invest than just to save.

The amount i generally invest in an ICO is the amount that i assume i am willing to loose as most ICOs out there are scams and you are most likely to loose your money when you invest in an ICO. I usually invest something close to 3000-5000$ in a single ICO.
You can eanr tremendous amount of returns when you invest in the right ICO but it is very difficult and challenging to find the right ICO. Only invest the surplus in the ICO, the money you are willing to gamble and loose.

10% of my money i have. No more. Ico so risky

Generally speaking, I will decide how much to invest according to the quality of the ICO project.
But generally not more than 1BTC, because I don't have enough money.hhhhh. ;D

I usually spend about 50% my budget for investing in ICOs. If you are good at researching, you can find many good projects which can help you get much profit in short term such as BABB, PKT, SXDT...

I invest a small amount in ICO, because ICO is not good for long-term investment.

For me i guess it will depend on the quaility and the possibility of the ico's success.If i see that it has a good plan and  consist of  trust6rthy team i would bet 50% of my belongings,but if it has the opposite the a small percent would fit and rather none at all,because it is risky.

Unlike what you think and say, this is a matter of what I have learned and analyzed on the investment of one ico. there are various reasons and differences. i personally, not always the same in every investment on ico. depending on the level of trust in all my investigations and analyzes. 

I invest on average  1 - 2 Ethereum on a project, doubt it will be successful or not the project is certainly there,
because there are some projects that I follow is a scam..

This often depends on the value or potential of this ICO project, and we want to see if their teams are of sufficient quality. The amount of investment will be determined for these reasons, the most important is whether we have enough bitcoin to invest.

It all depends on the level of my confidence in the project. That is, if the developers or the team as a whole, could convince me that all the same the project will be able to master the tasks set, then most likely I will be able to invest about 1k $, but of course everything depends on your overall budget. It's not so big for me, so I think so

I don't have much money so I often spend max 1 ETH to invest in any ICO project if they are good enough and if I still don't really believe in any projects I often don't wanna invest in or just invest small amount of money like 0.5 ETH or less to try if I'm a lucky man or not :)). After few mistakes in the past for now I often check on icoscanner.io before investing in any project :D

I think everyone has a reserve price in mind for different projects. If there is enough bitcoin, I might vote 1-2 bitcoins in a project beyond which I would think the risk is too high because the risk of the ICO is much higher than the bitcoin holds, although the revenue is also better than Bitcoin is high.

If you do decide to invest, make sure to check ICO reviews & ratings before investing.

It's not a matter of how much you invest, but how large potential returns are and which ICOs to trust.

Here are some ICO red flags that any investor should look out for:

1 "Solutionism" i.e. tokens created for tokens' sake, without solving an actual problem
2. There are no linkedin profiles of the team that you can check for their credentials
3. No valuable product underpinning the fundraising project
4. Timeline of roadmap not feasible
5. No cap on tokens and unrealistic funding target
6. Founders holding a disproportionate share of tokens

This list is by no means exhaustive. You need to seek out crypto experts who have the experience to tell the scam ICOs (e.g. Plexcoin, BitConnect) apart from the legitimate ICOS (e.g. ETH, BCG).

I think no one will invest 1btc in ICO. Unless if the dev is trusted.  Cause sometimes there are some ICO that didn't succeed to achieve their goals.. which is after a months it will become scam and there's no return on it even cents after the ICO failed. So i suggest to invest what you can afford to lose to prevent causes and regrets.

Well i think every investors will have different amount of bitcoin to be invested into the ICOs projects, and we can see your the result of survey gives under one bitcoin. In my personal experience i have made investment in the ICOs just under one bitcoin the reason for it is management of money and risk, we can not make all in one ICOs projects due to it is high risk losing the money, will be wise to separate the money in other investment and don't be greed to taking profit.

it depends on how much you trust the coin but i can put 1 btc if the coin is good, trusted and have many realistic projects.

Usually I only invest at the most 1 ETH just to spread out my portfolio if I think it is a good project.

Invest only an amount that you can afford to lose.

Regardless if it's less than or greater than 1 BTC it's still an investment. We cannot neglect the fact that a huge amount of risk is always present when investing in something, especially in an ICO, so just spend something you can afford. If you can afford to lose less than a bitcoin then do so, if you can afford to lose more than a bitcoin then go. Just consider studying the project/ICO you want to invest in. Investing is not something that you'll just go for without studying how you can benefit from it.

This type of question should not be asked IMO. You yourself is the only one who can answer how much you want to invest. Knowing how much others usually invest in an ICO does not matter since you're the one who is investing. Invest an amount based from your research and not how much others invest usually.

I think it depends on how much money I have and how much do I think that the project would be in the future,
I am really careful in investing my money in some ICO's because some of the ICO's are just going to take your money and abandon their project after the ICO.
So I am really careful on trusting my money in some project sometimes I would just wait for the token to be in the market before buying it .

In my journey with ICOs back in October, I am just a small-time investor. I even call myself as a "micro investor" where I can invest between $10 to $20 in average. It also depends how much is the minimum required investment for a specific ICO too.

If only I had huge funds to invest in ICO, I can invest between $100 to $300 per project. As of this time, I can't do much yet because I am still hanging on with a few freelance gigs plus long-term #HODLings of my altcoins.

I was a little shocked with the option for the vote. 10BTC... I mainly come from reddit and people there have less less holding than that. You guys have truly this much holdings ? Like you can freely throw even 1BTC in a ICO ?

I invest between 2-3 ETH, but I research a lot into the projects and take calculated gambles.

I usually invest around $5K max in ICO's but i invest more time too. Research, learning more, promoting, investing and finally trading if that happens too. It's all a chain reaction really because I want my investment to be successful and everything must be perfect before any commitment is made.

To participate in the ICO, I leave 10% of my investment portfolio.  Participation in the ICO is a big risk, and 10% is the amount that I'm not afraid to lose.  And after that I look at the projects.  If there are several good ICOs at the moment, then I divide the sum between them.  When I first started investing, I invested about 1 bitcoin in ICO (but then bitcoin cost much less).  Now I invest not more than 1 ETH

There are a lot of ISO that are worth the money that I have invested in them, but really such projects as will not return my attachments, so you can say that by investing there, the money I lost

Usually i don't put much money into ico because i don't join ico that often, the most i've ever put into an ico is about 2k usd or about 2 eth and the average is about 1 eth. I prefer to buy the coin once it got listed on exchange or i'll wait for the potential dump on exchange.

I do not invest much in ICO. At least the amount of investment in one project does not exceed the sum of 500-1000 dollars.

Under 1 BTC because i'm student and i don't have a huge amount of money to take a risk and do a risky investing. I already earn good money with my pocket money but i didn't invest huge amount for altcoins or ICO's.

I am not going to invest in any ICO anytime soon. It is because many ICOs are unfortunately a scam or projects which are very unlike to succeed. Also, it seems that due to growing cryptocurrencies popularity, it is a good idea to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum. It takes quite a long time before the coins you bought start to have some kind of value. Usually they are priced at $0.15 but after the ICO ends, nobody will buy them from you for that price.

I personally have never invested in ISO and I'm not going to. The first thing that holds me back is the lack of anonymity. The second is not the fact that the company will not steal your money, as it happened many times. It is better to buy interesting tokens immediately after entering the exchange.

I see that the majority voted for the first option. I also voted for it. ICO is a high-risk investment, so I can not risk very large sums. Even if I trust the project I will not put all the money into it.

I will research first to the ICO that I want to join it must be a strong ICO because investing a huge money is not a joke maybe I invest 1btc for the meantime if continues going strong I will invest again and again.You must be clever and smart here always.

Some used to say that it's better to invest as much as you won't regret if you loose it. But nowadays, almost all ICOs give profit so the risk to loose is rather low. And there's so much hype about ICOs now, that it's really a challenge to join any good project now. Some of them cancel there crowdsale, because they collect everything on a pre-sale or even private sale. So I'm even ready to invest all my money in a good ICO if I'm lucky enough to participate in it.

Honestly, I'm not feeling comfortable dealing with ICOs because I can't get rid of my mind that some of them may not become successful and shut down. So I only invest under one btc or even under the half of it when I see an ICO despite of being reliable. I'm just only playing safe, I only invest what I can afford to lose

I do not invest a lot of money.The biggest is 1.5 ETH . I think this is an optimal investment for a long time. It is necessary to invest money that will not be needed during the year

I did not tend to invest in ICO before. But now I'm happy to do it. I now see a lot of promising companies.

Normally I invest maximum 5% of my entire capital in 1 ICO.
If the ICO looks good, has a promising product the maximum is 10%.

I think, that you can't have real statistic from this questionier, cause for majority of Bitcointalk users 1 btc it's large amount of money, so, they can't invest more then 1 BTC

I invested in many projects for $ 200 . I selected the projects myself, so I did not risk big sums. If I found a very confident project for myself, I would invest much more. There are no such projects yet

There will be no exact amount on my part, investing in an ICO is always a risk, but once the ICO get done successfully it will be a good jump to it and a very nice profit are waiting for the people who invest in the project, YET crypto world is full of surprises and we don't know when we will be hack, as of me i will always invest just 5% of my portfolio. just to keep safe as always.

We have the same principle, I love your idea as it is same as mine, Cryptocurrency is not a perfect pitch yet and we need to be careful as the crypto is being upgraded by many people still we are not yet out of the box of danger. Many big exchange sites are being hacked and huge money is being stolen. To be careful is not a crime it is just taking care of our money and 5% is good enough and we can get more than ten times once we get the profit we are waiting after investment, or even more.
BTW i gave you some credit on your post! good luck PAL!

Depends on the project. I can invest approximately 3-5 ETH. But sometimes it is better to buy coins after the ICO.

i never participated in ICO.you never know what can happen.maybe if i'd have more money

For me as a moderate risk taker, I usually invest like 1-2 eth in most of the project I invest in. Am just thinking of increasing it this year to shoot up my investments and also to enable me get more profit.

I choose the most interesting projects and invest in them at 1-3 ETH, and I think that soon I will be able to invest more. But sometimes there are projects in which individual cap 0.2-2

I invest less than 1 btc. In my opinion, the question would be more interesting: "What percentage of your savings do you invest?" Because there are people who invest everything, and there are people who invest 50% of the total, etc.

Has not yet invested his funds.I want to invest in project credits about 1 ETH. If everything goes well I want to increase investments

I usually invest what I have in my savings that I don't need to touch for at least 6 months. Usually it is around 2-3 ETH. Poll won't let me vote for some reason though.

I don't! I believe that we should be able to face the risks that's been presented..but beside it we should also be smart. I wouldn't opt to invest in an ICO during its campaign because there is just too much risk in it. If the project is really good and it starts hitting a few exchanges, then I may consider purchasing their alts. This is safer and more practical in my view.

This is depend on the capital of the individuals, you cannot push yourself in the high amount of capital investment if you are not capable to do so. You must invest according what you can afford to buy in only. Then in my case the highest amount I invested in the altcoins or ico was  0.05BTC only.

LOL, I just could not help to smile at your poll. Most of the people in this forum would need a scale from 0.1 to 10 ETH rather than thinking of bitcoins and all that.

There are not that many people that go into ICOs as whales, and those that do are not wandering around your post.

I usually invest below 1 bitcoin per ICO but if you sum if up maybe it will reach 1 bitcoin, since im confident to what im investing due to researching and i know i wont be scammed. So easy profit when you hold it for too long. Anyway my investment came from my past profits.

I only invest less than a 1000$ into icos, because first of all ico starters are enthouthiests, people with ideas that want to make it work, and what people tend to overlook these days is that ICO are not regulated this means that if anything goes wrong or the project faills all your investments can go down the drain, and what really drives me crazy these days is that ICO they end in less than an hour which means if i want to partake in them i need to send transactions with higher fees in order to get somthing, which is not good. so i tend to invest a small amount.

I think it will depend on the potentiality of the ICO project that I meet. when I meet ICO who has an innovative project with great technology and a complete team in various fields, a clear and coherent roadmap, an active promotion, big marketcap, I think I will allocate huge funds for that ICO, I am not one who invests in many ICO. when I've met one or two nice or potrntial ICO. maybe i will use some of my money there..

Checkout http://coinwoot.com/ico (http://coinwoot.com/ico)

There is quite a list of icos.

But recent ico of benebit has really shaken confidence.

ICO is so gamble, even with big project.
So just invest the amount of money that I can lost.
Always remember that when it success and be launched in some big exchanges, you still could buy it later

I can only spend around 1 to 5 eth for an ICO at this time. Still an "octopus" by bitcoin scale standards.  ;D ;D ;D

When I was starting, I started with only 0.25 eth then 0.5, then 1 eth.

Over time, you will be able to accumulate tokens and experience that will help in your ICO/TGE prospects.

Caveat Emptor - Always!!

Good luck!!!  8) 8) 8)

I usually invest in an ICO between 1-5 Ethereum while i am joining. The amount invested change according to ICO conditions. I want to raise my earnings by joining different ICOs.

I'm not too negative-minded about because 1 out of 10 ico or I am a scam and that's what keeps me neutral to both, and for the future I think most ico at this time is very potential!

The maximum i usually spent for ICO is 0.3BTC So far it is worth the risk as long as you do your diligence in research  if the project is worth it and if the people behind this team have a good credibility in the industry.

Per Ico i will invest 200 dollars i will select 10 icos for every 2 months and spread my investment i prefer this is the best investment decision one can make minimising the risk

I usually if I want to join an ico first read the website of the project and after that if I'm sure I just invest.

if I'm confident with an ICO, I usually invest between 2-10 ETH because I know, I'll have the advantage of maybe 2 or 3 times my investment, if you want to choose a good ICO, I suggest you follow the daneel project, you can start buying DAN token on this website https://daneel.io/

I do invest but it depends on project to project. I always do vast research before putting my money in ICO's because some time it can be very profitable and risky too. I normally invest average 500$ but invest only when I have full confidence in the ICO.

I can invest below 2BTC although not in one ICO. I will spread it into so many ICOs  and buy into the penny price ICO which  with  small amount of money will give me much volume.

Around $50 - $100, but After extensive research and If i find it to tick the boxes
I will invest what I am prepared to loose, the most I have put into an ICO
Around $100, cause it can be risky, but if you get it right you can make a lot,
Due to the risk I'm not willing to put more than $100.

Sometimes it is better to buy coins after the ICO, so I don't invest in ICO. Also because there are a lot of scam ICO without any future.

I invest in ICO 15 percent of all my investments. I know that this is a very risky investment and therefore the percentage is so small. My friends invest in 1-3 bitcoins and this is their entire capital.

Usually I only put between 1-2 ETH as I don't want to throw all my money into an ICO.

My investment would be less than 1 btc. Because, in my opinion, holding and trading with bitcoin have a better potential than any ICO investment to bring good profits in the future.

I invested here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2851362.new#new

For me, it depends how much a bitcoin is worth at the time of the ICO.  I usually invest around $10k and as high as $20k into an ICO that I really like and believe in.  So when I first started out, I invested about 7 bitcoins into the Waves platform ICO.  Today, I would only invest about 2 to 3 bitcoins max into an ICO I really like.  

How many do not feel sorry for losing, so much and need to invest, I think it's already everyone knows. Of course there is a huge desire to invest in full when you see a promising project. But you need to have a cold head.

Lol funny are you part of this project. Since you are promoting this project I do not think anyone knows about it. We have to invest on the good project which have the potential to bump in the future once become as a coin.
That too 2 to 10 Eth is not at all true information I feel. Hope you find the bitcoin value reached to 25k USD so invest that all your money in ETH to BTC.
Within some months you may find the biggest profit than anything you see.

I also think that my investments will be bigger than 1 BTC. I can be a risky guy, but not here. I prefer investing in altcoins and deal with trading, as here I see better income and profit. However, in case with Telegram ICO I might invest more into the project.

Of course people were expecting of turning back their money invested, and for the seek of being safe from losing they might just intent to invest small amount. Do ICO now are having difficult to trace which one could be trusted or it only collect our money that's investors will getting worried on investing a huge amount of money in a single investment.

Personally I invest around 2-3 ETH, but I research heavily to make sure that it is a great project.

If you invest in one project, you can at once do everything and lose 1-2-3 of the air. And if you conduct a good analysis of several campaigns, then the odds grow several times. There is a saying "do not keep eggs in one basket"

there is not much I can invest in an ICO, it's because of the limitations of money, but in some ICO I follow, I can always get the best benefits except the Umbrella project, if any of you who want to follow an ICO, I suggest to join in daneel project, please see the info at www.daneel.io

The problem I normally find is that good ICOs that are clearly oversubscribed and have potential attract a large number of investors so I cannot really invest as much as I want because they set caps.

In the past few months, i started to invest in the ICO's and the I only invest 0.2 ETH every ICO that has a better and great potential to make an invest. But we have a self decisions how much to invest. Better to think twice before going to buy an ICO tokens or coins. And also you can check here the ICO reviews for the incoming and upcoming icoreview.site. And lastly, better to do a diversify strategy. Hopefully, my opinions helps you..

Theres a lot of ICO or investments program i have joined.But i always put in my mind to put only the extra money or minimum investment amount .And i want to diversify my investments to diffrent ico if ever one ico will ran out our money i still have one luck in mu pocket.Diversify is great plan.

Invest below 1 bitcoin. For most ico's it takes a lot of time to gain traction before they are worth a decent amount. If you wanna invest more than 1 bitcoin, be sure that the company is legit and that it is going to be highly adopted in the future.

Investing in ICOs have been a good business for me. Ive done well with powerledger and Bitquence. Not so great with LA Token yet but i expect it to rise and provide me 100x at some point. I am still waiting on Bankera, that one i do not know how will turn out. Hopefully it will also be a winner. Obviously, we have the bad ones also. You got to do the homework and spread the risk.

Currently I invest round 0.5 ETH as I am a little side investor.

I think it is a mistake to claim this poll in Bitcoin, I don't see many people investing more than a Bitcoin (Around 9k now)

To invest a lot in ICO one must either know team members, or have a lot to risk with, or a great intuition. I wouldn't invest much in one project. i wouldpossibly invest some money in several promising ICOs.

i always have my specific goal when investing in ICOs, Never invest more than 2 btc in an ICO no matter how good it is promoted, greedy is a deadly strike to our incomes, so think carefully and make research before investing an ICO, with 2btc, it is enough for me to get profit in the future when the price of the coin start rising.

for me always less than 1 btc. there are projects that are very promising but i only invest money that i dont need or that i can afford to lose also i don´t like to put all my money in one place. icos can make you gain a lot of money but they can also make you lose a lot of money

Hi,

thats a very interesting question. It depends on the project, the website and the team involved with that ICO. A clear roadmap and a business plan is also a +
Most importantly I would never invest any amount that I am would miss if I lost it in that same second. Never invest what you cant afford to lose and make sure that the the project you are investing in will change the future and that the coin will be a solution to a problem. If it isnt and just seems fun in the long run its not going to be.

Cheers

A lot of ICO right now and some are very profitable project. I always invest minimum of 100 dollars and maximum of 1000 dollars but not all ICO. I invest money if I think the project has a potential I read whitepaper, backgroud and Roamap. Remember dont put your eggs in one basket

As many have said before me, never invest more that you can afford to lose. Since I learned about cryptocurrencies, I have set a small percentage of my income to investing in cryptos every month (being it ICOs or already established cryptos (if no ICO peaks my interest) or a combination of both). I also take into account the crypto market prices, token prize, etc. but I am definitely in the under 1 BTC (more like 0.1 ETH).

I would really love to see the difference between the answer before and after the big dip that has taken place in February. I bet that the answers would be less than 30% than before  ;D

I think that there are very good IKO that are promising! And personally, I think that it is more sensible to buy their tokens at the beginning of the launch of the IKO.

If the project is good I only invest an amount which is okay to be loss. I never really buy an ICO coin as most of them dumps just after the coin distribution. Instead of buying it I just wait it to arrive in exchange sites which you can buy a double or even triple cheaper than its ICO price.

You are not going to find useful data since the question is mistaken, what you invest in an ico is going to be limited by two factors, how much you can invest and how much are you willing to invest in a particular coin, everything else is meaningless, in one case I invested almost all my money in a coin because I thought it was a good idea and in some other coins I just invested some spare money.

Under 1

Why no 0 ? :D
If the project or platform of a potential ICO for i tend to wait its coin gets listed rather than investing on an ICO, prices are much lower during that time because of a lot of factors.

My portfolio to make invest in ICO is 20% from all my money and not more because although ICO promising high profit but the risk also high. To manage the risk i also only make investment in ICO that has big community and has minimum viable product, and they has good concept and interesting idea that different with others.

In my own opinion, investing in an ico will take a lot of time before you will earn your profit because after the release of the coin in the market, it will decrease its value to 50% and you need to wait a lot more time in order to gain so just work on bounty campaigns to get a decent amount of their coin without any capital.

Well, I think it really depends on how interesting the project is to me, and how I think they will do in the future.

My portfolio to make invest in ICo is 20% from all my money and not more because although ICo promising high profit but the risk also high. To manage the risk i also only make investment in ICo that has big community and has minimum viable product, and they has good concept and interesting idea that different with others.

I guess that one must have a really strong belief in an ICO to invest over a bitcoin:) may be i say so because for me it is a lot of money:) but i think that 1 eth is a rough average investment.

I am conservative regarding crypto so I try to invest no more than 5% of my Deposit. Otherwise, the risk is too great. On average, I invest about 3-5 thousand dollars.

I used to invest less then 0.5 bitcoin if possible. I think this is a good amount for investing in ico's and it's not a pity to lose it if the project turns out to be a scаm

wow thats a huge invest already dude...
usually i only spend 0.2 till 0.5 ETH in every ico i followed.
i choose to play safe with split my miney to few ico with same amount.
but so far all ico that i follow was a good ico and give me profit at least twice from my initial. ;D

not always the same, sometimes we have to try to re-evaluate to determine the value of investing. all always involve knowledge and of course the circumstances that support. so basically it will not always be the same.

I've only had one single ICO that went under its ICO price so far. Everything else was stable above it. Granted I usually got the better rates, but still.

Because investing zero dollars in an ico is not really investing, don't you think? If I said I completed a routine of exercise and then you ask me what I did and I say nothing then I did not really exercised at all, this is the same, so the poll is correct since the op is only interested on the money you are investing in the ico phase and zero does not constitute an investment.

How much you normally invest in ico, lets say maximum investment?
Actually i dont invest in ico yet since i dont have enough to join with ico. What i am going to do is collect money first to join them.

I really like to go to different projects with small amount to invest cause if one fail maybe the other will be huge hit,
I had sucess with Ethos,Dent,SONM,Status and with EOS.
With 10 or more i didnt have luck or i should say i didnt read more about them but mostly all rated good are gone be hood investment after a few months
You should check for the price and the amount of total supply
I invest around 200$ cause i dont have more but spread on 5 different ICOs monthly
