how to determine ico is good or bad, i have a lot of loss, because its price drop when entering exchange, please help me friend

I recommend to do research about the team and the idea about the projects you are  planning to invest.

Price drop because usually bounty hunters dump the coin after entering the cryptoexchange. BUt I think you should not worry if you believed in the project.

Go to their website. Read their white paper. Research their team. Join their social channels and interact with them.

ICOs are high-risk, high reward investmens. It's importantto know how muchne is willing to invest and possibly lose before participating one.

- How to determine ICO is good?
* Know the people behind them
* Understand the target market
* Evaluate the technology
* Check their whitepaper
* Know what the coins are for

- How to determine ICO is bad?
* Team is inexperienced in the crypto field
* This is an existing company, with 3 years' experience and 20 workers
* Bonuses for everyone
* Hard cap is huge
* No real need for the token
* Aggressive Marketing
* Community's discussions are of low quality
* The public sale last too long
* No sign of a Major Exhange looking to list the ICO's tokens
* Market cap is already huge.

You can also check some suggestions of others here in the forum. and you can also read how others look for the ICOs. There are many tools that you can use how you can determine if the ICOs are good and bad.

well, this is my question too about the ICO when I new about in this world. and my friend said to me that there are qays to determine if the ICO is good or not. so the ways that you need to know are make survey in the ICO you want. survey is a big part to determine if it is a good pr bad. then if finish to make survey it is time to find people who work for the ICO

To determine good or bad ICO should be based on:
- Their idea (you read the materials on the roadmap, whitepaper)
- The capital mobilization was not large enough to reach $ 30 million
- Evaluation of experts, community
- Coin not sold out must be burned, not airdrop, bounty not too large to avoid the coin list on the exchange was bounty hunter dump price

I think all ico will experience a price drop when it's new in the exchanger, it's a natural thing to dump. Usually the price will be normal when the number of buyers increases

It's useless.
It is impossible to detect this!
I finished more than 50 bounties and none, after a few months, did not pay.

And who paid, their tokens are not worth a couple of cents.
2018 is the end of the ICO era, now there are only scammers who have found a new way to deceive people.

first of all look at product they want to make,do not invest in low profitable ICOs like marketplaces,real estates,adveresting,verification and etc. Look for blockchain ICO, like coming Egretia,Edenchain,PChain. Credit projects are good to like Libra Credits,Lending block and etc, good blockchain services are profitable too

Scam ICO's in today's era of digital currency is nothing new and many people are still victimized by such scams. The only way to determine whether ICO is a scam or not is by having organized threads and professionally made website. They should have a clear vision towards success together with the company and its consumers. If you see they have a too good to be true offers more likely it's a scam. Doing background check in such company would not take a whole day just to investigate, have patience on everything.

First you should check Ico project in all platforms. Than , you must research it from in this forum. Read all comments.After that you should decide , but dont sad these days very Ico usually scam or bad.

I suggest you watch the white paper carefully first. If you don't understand something, you can ask the authorities directly. If the authorities respond positively to you, I think they have a lot of potential.

How much do you guys trust the various ICO rating sites such as icobench etc?
How trustworthy are they really?

eco can determine whether it is good or bad,only if you analyze the reviews about the project and see how much investment

Follow this froum.If good ico came you will understand from comments in posts.Just follow news about ico etc.

First is the team, second is the idea, third is the market, fourth is the competition. Do deep research all on this areas and you will figure out.

There are lots of threads regarding the same concept available on this section so you can use the search bar and go through them to get some idea about evaluating the ICO.

Most of the token value will lose its value when it get listed on exchanges at first because most of the people investing on ICOs as short term when it listed on exchanges they will sell it immediately.But if it is a good project then the value will starts to increase after a while.A good project means it must contain real life usage.But most of the expert says if it is an good project it never needs an ICO to make investors.

I do not think anyone can judge exactly what ICO is good or not but at least before participating read whitepaper so you know about what the project is.

I always pay attention to a few things before choosing ICO like, Notice Road map and White Paper, ICO quality will have a clear road map and white paper. It's important to determine the journey of the coin in the future. Because the road map and white paper is a picture of the future of the ICO. most important and most important, See if you have entered the market or not? A quality ICO will appear when the ICO succeeds in listing in major markets such as yobit, coinexchange, cryptopia, poloniex, bittrex and others. for example you can see ICO IQT ready listings on coin marketcap. note the total supply of ICO, according to economic law, the more total supply of coins, the price will be cheaper. And the less total coin supply, the higher the price. Surely this could be one of our reasons to see which prospective coins are good.

I think the way to judge ICO is still from the perspective of market feedback. For example, white paper. Teams, routes, and social media. Of course, you can also take a look at all kinds of ICO evaluation markets. Those who participate in the ICO are profitable if they are on the market and they are likely to sell all the tokens. If this token is really valuable, some people will continue to hold it.

You must read their campaign carefully and understand it fully. You must need to check their site (if there is any) or maybe their white paper and also the team leader or the ICO. You can search their ICO and you can determine if their ICO is good or bad. You can look up the details from the very beginning of their ICO and their actual thread here.

I recommend before investing or joining ICO project. We recommend looking at some aspects. The first is from the concept of the project, it must be clear. The team and its developers also need to be seen. The total supply, as well as the roadmap, also needs to be considered. And also the wallet of the project must also be checked. Whether many are investing in the project or not. Also monitor for sales of the project. whether it shows good progress or vice versa.

There is no way to find the good ICO exactly because any projects can be trun out to be a scam at the last time even,so we need to check the reputation of the rlteam first if there is any fake details about them then.you should mever invest om them.

Bad ICO - when there are too many shills that are advertising and making the project good even though it's new and they are using convincing words.
Good ICO - has real and legit use.
It's not about the marketing but it's the real thing on how the ICO is really working to make the project better and usable.

You just need check preico stage - you can invest in ICO in case of successful preico. It means that investors are interested in project

Make your own judgement but I also read what those experienced people say about the project. I try to connect the dots or the information I gathered and come up with my own decision if it's good or bad.

research, research, research! i cannot stress this enough. the only way to find out if an ico is good or bad, a scam or legit, is to do the RESEARCH. read the whitepaper. check out the team. learn about the project and what they are trying to achieve etc etc

It's not that easy to find a good project. Just like everyone above me have mentioned, you should do some research.
And as for the price drop, we cannot do anything about it. I mean like, a really great project should have a great team and community.
A great team, at least could make the price in a stable states. And it also depends on its pair prices.

You got it right. Its all about the research. Many people are too lazy to research the coin that they wish to invest into and only invest since everyone else are investing. This herd mentality is guaranteed to screw things up for you at some point or another. You need to do your research by analyzing the whitepaper, checking the development team, social media interactions by the development team, soft cap or hard cap etc. Research is key.

Most easily, you just need to follow Ian Balina private group to get rating about upcoming ico.
If you want to decide an ico yourself, you must decide base on 4 important things:
1. Price sale, market cap after ico
2. Community numbers
3. Dev team
4. Roadmap and product

Yes others people feedback is also important whether the project is good. A lot of factors to check if good to invest since nowadays there are many Ico's failed. Can't able to fulfill the promise also of the team is one of the reason's of failed project. So we must be very careful to check the project.

There are various aspects which should be taken into consideration while determining if the ICO is good or not
1) ICO should be able to reach their soft cap
2) Team members details should be mentioned
3) We should be able to see token use case
4) Development of the product should have been started and alpha, beta version should be available
5)Team is working as per the schedule mentioned in their roadmap
6)Registration of the company, if they have mentioned these details on their website or online.
7) If their team is accessible, can meet them up either in events or conferences

If all these criteria are met by an ICO we should definitely invest in such ICOs

You can also ask God allmighty, or if you psychic, or cleaver you can see the future so no problem... other than those eazy ways, there are only hard ways like, looking up every member of that team ICO, and ICO it'self plus how's the site formed, and what they have in plan with that... if they promise you only profit, then there is just another shitcoin there only for money on the market and probably a scam. I in a commercial they start with words like: How wil you beneffit...?, or something like that, you know, there is a next bitconnect

Join WhaleTank and participate in ICOs they suggest!

it depends on the project if you think they have a good concept they it should be good and check the roadmap also if it the coin would be good in the long term. if you dont know how to determine a good ico you can just check ico rating websites like icorating,ico bench just pick the ones who have the highest rating and your good.

Here are few tips...

Check the team (and advisors) and their experience in crypto.
Take time to read whitepaper and to understand the project. You have to understand the project and believe it can make maney.
Check the community and social medias accounts (SCAMS often have very recent accounts with low information).
Try to talk with members of the team, (real ICO : they talk about their project VS SCAM : they talk only about selling you tokens)

I will help you to see a good project or not,
easy way, see whitepaper is very important, and see how many communities in telegram,
facebook dan twitter because community is also very important

You need to figure out how to identify good icos.
You need to look at their team, you need to research on their token metrics. You need to look at the quality of the discussion on their telegram groups . you need to read their whitepaper to be able to spot out if its worth it or not.

And many others

Yes, you're right often when new tokens that just go to the stock immediately fall in price. But you do not have to worry if this is a really good project, then the price will soon increase and you will get a profit.
