guys, i think it is important that we all take special notice on the ICO profitability and make something out it.

These good times may not last forever brothers and sisters.

Wish me the best as i wish you all the same. To the moon/ Lambos of 2018, I toss this drink to us all My friends.

We will be rich soon

But we are still at the beginning of tokenization trends. some experts are expecting this will be last for around a decade.

But I have joined in some icos and I have made around 1 million dollars only from ZIl and ONT. That' enough for me to say best ico generates your best money.

But if you choose the right ICO project you earn very high. I know that today in the market there are many fraudulent ICO, if we do not have the ability to analyze the project, pick the wrong scam ICO you will fail big.

There are legitimate ICOs. But not all legitimate ICOs are profitable. And also, there are scam ICOs that will just grab away your money. Research is important when investing in different projects in order for your money to not get just loss.

Even some legitimate Ico will not give you a proper profit, but the fact that they exist and slowly push out scammers is already a sign of a healthy market and competition, and the fact that people have learned to determine where they are deceived and where they are not.

For the guy who said he made $1M on ONT, they never had an ICO, um, so how did you do that? ICO's such as Icon and Wanchain did insanely well. The thing is, ICO's are no longer available for the retail investor. What is available are Airdrops which generally suck. The Institutional investors are beginning to centralize the Blockchain investing space day by day. The Startups in the space will only deal with wealthy investors, which does not seem to represent what the space stands for. I think this may end up backfiring at some point because it excludes too many people. Most ICO's now hold private sales and end up selling out to super wealthy investors and the little guys like you sitting at home on your computer are chasing scraps (Airdrops).

I felt 2017 was a great year for ICO investing and this year is moving fast towards centralization, defying what Bitcoin was meant to stand for. Many of the Blockchain startups are focused on enterprise, and the traders themselves get excited when a centralized organization is partnering with a Blockchain startup. People freely scan their passports to strange companies demanding every detail. The companies are now deciding to hedge their risk by on boarding the wealthy into these projects. YouTube influencers are also reaping the benefits of juicy deals.

I remember vividly that there was a time ICO was not easy to come by and bounty hunters were extremely happen when there is bounty campaign. We know that this is the beginning of tokenization. since we have the opportunity to be in a forum like this. Let us invest in ICO's now before it will be too late.

Don't worry ICO just started this revolution..ICO has proven to be the best way to start cryptocurrency projects even, in my opinion ICO has the potential to revolutionize the way real economy projects are funded. There are still many opportunities to make a profit on ICO investment but we have to be selective in choosing projects

It is better to get on a legitimate project but with a small profit than scammers. So now it's like a new sigh, while the market itself does not understand where to move next. The main analysis and confidence in their abilities.

yes, you are right, I am always paying attention to the profitability of ICO, as a businessman it is very important, I always observe and examine many ICO, nobody wants to lose money in investing, indeed every ICO does not guarantee the profit come to you, but I think from now on we have to be thorough on ICO, I do not know as long as what ICO will survive.

I think ICO was very lucrative in the past, but same cannot be said about it now. However, you need to do a serious research to identify ICO that will be profitable. I think 1 out of 20 are profitable

People that have spent more than 3 years in this space, knew time like this are coming, the wildwest is dying and I personally have being thinking along this line. ICO and Crypto has come to stay but the ROI seems to be changing. One of the concern I have is the ridiculous valuations most of these projects are entering the market. Before $1 million to $5 million is the usual ask but now rididculous valuation. If people keep investing million into projects with nothing on ground this is bound to happen. One of these ICOs yet has started making profit which is the main essence of a company

I agree with you,
from my experience following bounty. and only a few ICOs are successful. between 30-45% success.
and failed because it did not reach the target.
but a bit of a scam.

ICOs was more profitable in the past then now as today people are looking for quick profits ,once token hit exchange you will witness huge dump

ico is good profitable, can much profit
sample case utrust, ico price only 0.065 dollar, utrust price highest above 1 dollar

Yes, icos are profitable but that only depends on taking necessary caution and doing excessive research about a project to see how successful it will be and not all legit icos are profitable because some awards small rewards to their participants while some pay good rewards. There are so many scam icos that are coming up everyday and they only waste people time and will not rewards participants or even go away with participants investment. Taking time while choosing an ico to invest in is always good in other not to make mistake.

we all know that there are all sorts of ICOs and every ICO has different values depending on the number of users as more and more users are interested in the higher ICO prices and usually Ico will be used by various companies for a marketing project if ICO initially has enough value good because the marketing of a company is bad then the ICO enthusiasts will be reduced and the price can go down immediately.

agree with you, I think the research on ICO that we will invest will be very important and will determine our future, profit or loss. especially this one of the many ICO that always appear in every day is likely only 40% of those who succeed.

it is not always ico will be profitable, but in the future I'm sure ico will be reduced and a little. but the ico available on average is nice and gives the latest innovation, because they will compete to attract investors and strive to be the best.

Not all ICO profitable, and it was always that way, actually, more than 80% of ICO will end scam people. But if you can choose wisely ICO you always be with profit.

What you say may be true. But if you choose the right ICO project will definitely get a very large income, although this is with a very big risk. If you can choose the right ICO project and with great care, then you can get a great opportunity to earn a huge income. Because there are many ICOs that fail so that can make a loss so should be more careful.

No one knows until when cryptocurrency last but people are still optimist about this great technology and its future. ICO is profitable only if the project is good, but not all ICO is worth investing . This may not last forever at least we experienced a good technology like this.

yes, i do agree with you! the success of every ico is still depend in the market and their marketing strategy. not every ico's became successful.

That's true that ICOs aren't here to last forever but the rest like bitcoin is here to stay. There will be an end to the ICOs and we might see it few years from now.

If we talk about profitable I could probably say that ICO is one of best source of profits, hence sometimes this will have a good choices if you want to get money because at this time there are mary scam ICO and unsuccessful projects with ICO's. So maybe I could say ICO's  are perfectly good but it depends on your knowledge to choose best ICO project.

yes it is true, especially now a lot of scam so it is very difficult to find a good ICO at this time, but I think if we are more careful in looking at the web, white paper and others, it will minimize the losses you receive.

Without a doubt a good ICO can bring us good profits or even change our life, but not everything is a sea of roses and in the current moment with high number of scam a ICO's idea is getting distorted and possibly changing the way ICO looks. However i believe that ICO will not disappear from the map, only the way will be reformulated investing and attracting customers and while it does not happen the best we have to do is to study and seek sincerity in project.
 

To be exact not all of them are profitable from the start because some of them are scam, others are just pumped coins then you know the next one it will dump on a short-term basis and there is an ICO with the big shot to be moon in the future with real usages that solve real problems with their innovative products and platforms a good one for a long-term investments and the most profitable one.

I don't participate in ICOs anymore, because the most them are falling below ICO price right after the Coinmarketcap listing. I prefer to wait until it gets listed on Coinmarketcap, I watch the dump and then I buy some if I am still interested.

ICO is another way of investing, some people prefer this because it can benefit more from the project, but we also do not really choose the way to avoid traffic jams in ICO that have potential fraud, review on the site and no exceptions ICO will succeed or not, as it really is very big and many investors are getting high sales

Icos are not gonna be forever, we need to take in consideration that they will stop being in here in a near future, there is nothing forever, and also, ICOs are raising less money than before at the moment.

Although it's not forever, the ICO's  success  will definitely be appreciated when the project hits the trading site if it will be listed in the most promising exchanges. For now if you're an investor of a new project ICO just expect less, and hopefully in the future outcomes you'll be able to aim that profitable holdings.

Wow. I hope someday i will be there. I hope to make it to the Millionaires ballers club

Good day. Investing on ICO is risky. Just choose wisely on where to invest. I spend hours researching on a good project coz there's lots of ICOs that are like copycats of other ICOs. Some stand up with the competition but some usually fail not even reaching softcap. Some ICOs are successful but it takes over a month but still no exchange. I'm used to that actually so better be ready for some circumstances. But not all are failures, so get into the right one.

Investing in ICOs may well be one of the most risky ventures ever known. Maybe a huge bubble everyone has no clue when it will collapse. However, the most important thing here is the technology on which these ICOs thrive on. Even if ICOs may fade, successful ones with credible proof of concept may be the frontiers of the next internet scape. So dyor before investing or promoting any ICO

Investing in ico is like gambling. If you don’t know what exactly is the project you want to invest, better have the thought at first: your money perhaps won’t be back.

ICO is a promising thing, I believe it. even many who've made the ICO as the forefront and they rely on the results of the ICO. but the big thing is thus utilized to make the scam. It is to look out for because although ICO is promising but the scam also da among them.

Investing in ico is quite risky, especially in recent times, collecting lots of ico money and not even handing out tokens. But there are some positive examples too, for example docademic has made a very good money :)

there are all sorts of different types of ICOs always coming this time. ranging from real and profitable ICOs and there are also successful ICOs but do not have prices in the market even there are also scammer ICOs there.

Not all ICOs are profitable, so many ICOs are now trading at just 0.2x ICO prices. The number of ICOs can be x5, x10 after list on the exchange is less and not counted many ICO projects fraudulent money investors and fleeing.

agree with you ICO's are not always profitable moreover profitable ICO's can turn out to be a bad investment if you don't get out of the coins at the right time i personally had this thing of not getting out of it when it hits the exchange with a decent return. so always figure out which coin to hold and which to get rid off otherwise you will be in huge loss investing in ICO's.

ICO's are actually still extremely profitable even if you invest in many. Most of the coins that actually get to an exchange will have a higher price than the ICO you just don't have to be greedy and sell fast, in the past it was obviously easier since coins did 10x all the time in merely weeks, that doesn't happen anymore but you can still profit from most ICO's if you sell fast. The good news is that ICO's in the crypto market are still quite new, we don't even have all the regulations yet so high quality ICO's can still bring 100x in the future.

Investing on Initial Coin Offerings is solely based on your belief and trust into that project! It can be truly profitable and I agree, it's not always the case so therefore you have to delve yourself on finding those high quality ICO's that will give you a hundred times profit!

Investing on ICO's are risky so better to choose a good project. Not all ICO's are profitable because some are did not reach the soft cap so that their project was failed and they stop. Some are successful during ICO but after a months there's no exchange and some have exchange but get only low profit. The best way is to do a research and choose wisely before investing so that no regrets.

I agree to that. Only if you choose the right ICO to invest oherwise you will lose to a scam ICO. Fraudulent people are everywhere, even in crypto. We have to avoid them. Study an ICO first before investing.

The ICO project sometimes offers something beautiful. But it is true that more ICO produces something that is not expected. The ICO project is a very interesting thing because it can generate many advantages, but the selection of good ICO and do the correct analysis will make us a chance to get satisfactory results. The ICO project is sometimes said to require good luck, but in fact it is a good analysis that will determine what we get later.

I agree, not all ICO is profitable, that's why you have to carefully choose the right ICO to join. It's like trading sometimes you lose sometimes you win. Even popular ICO can be unprofitable because it is oversold during the ICO stage and many investors have high expectation for the project but the token has not hit the exchange so they are selling.

ICO's are in crysis for like 6-7 months already, I should say. However, good projects will always collect their cap and even more, investors are very hungry for such things (I mean big players).

Appreciate all your feed backs.

We are in this together till the end.

Also My friends Merit me just so i can feel a bit important.

Be and my Girlfriend bet on who will be first to me Merited hahahahaha

Boys support your boy here to win that bet.

icos are profitable only when they are on right exchange with good supply and stability of price and coin developments may nt be all icos are fair enough they may get dumped once launched

I agree, no one is always anything profitable that is why there are swings currently on the market cryptoanalyst, time is changing and with them the prices also rise or fall.

Every investment is profitable we should choose the best platform definitely it will make profit but Every platform have some risk possibilities so ICOs investment is top most risky investment we will earn huge profit or big loss. But I am suggesting altcoins or Bitcoin investment is positive investment this will make profit in future.

Unfortunately, now more and more ico projects are turned out to be a scam. Maybe people think that ico's will live for the next 10 years but if we will see more and more scams this time can be shorter

Indeed, among ico not always give a good reward as many participants or ico lovers start to leave it or even fail ico so we need to be careful in choosing ico so we can benefit from our work.

Is all ICO's are profitable? I think not at all, there are ICO's that gives a very tempting offer to catch the attention of the investors and the same as they offer for bounty for the campaign but in the long run, the whole team cannot support the needs of the project that makes it fail, it a sad story but true, that is why our wish to fly in the moon diverted to the sun and burn. For me, 2018 is a very rocky road for hunters, as more ICO projects arise but the most promising one is few, we must select carefully so that our quality time and hard work will not be wasted.

Obviously there are lots of  scam ICO’s it simply because it is not regulated, every body is free whatever you want, to create a scam ICO's, that will victimized legitimate investors just to earn out of  it and no body  be penalized hopefully there might an organization a team composed concerned investors,  Lawyers, auditors and others  that study their  white  paper and would  guide  investors to the  right  ICO’s in a forum site like  Bitcoin  talk and other related sites.

How many of you guys bought PundiX?

Investing only in ICO and expecting them to return is a bit of a wrong strategy in this market. As for me, the investments give less risk and quick return, rather than a pair - three different projects. In Ico you can participate when there is no other way out or just a very attractive project.

Not always the funds raised by the ICO method go to the stated needs. Authors may abandon the project or even in advance to have a fraudulent purpose. But now the network community is actively looking for methods to combat this. For example, there were rating agencies of the type, where you can get acquainted with the opinion of analysts about the prospects of projects.

We all know this thing that there are so many projects which are related to that of the ICOs and that amongst those projects, there are certain projects which are scam too. So, if you are planning for investing your money into the ICO project, then you must make sure that you are investing your money at the right place and that you have gathered enough of the information regarding that project.

If you can choose the right ICO project and with great care, then you can get a great opportunity to earn a huge income.Research is important when investing in different projects in order for your money to not get just loss.

%90 of icos are scam now.
we can take most of the coins below the ico price nowadays after they enter any market.
it was 2017 summer that we can earn good money from icos

Definitely gotta jump on the opportunity while you can, the market is constantly evolving, so who knows what ICOs will look like a year from now.

It is profitable to do so, because with minimal investments you can get tokens, which then become irreplaceable and relevant. But the number of scammers sometimes reduces all aspirations to naught, so you need control of all Ico.

The thing with ICO's is that more than 80% of them are scams or are created by people who have NO idea what they are doing. There are a lot of red flags you should look out for when investing in an ICO. One of the biggerst issues is the token economics. Hard and Soft Caps can tell you a lot about a project and the team behind it. If they are unrealistically high or the team hasn't explained how they plan to split the money, than that's a huge red flag and you would be better off missing the ICO. So invest smart and best of luck to all !

Chances are that because I know a lot of people who are afraid to invest with ICO because many people prefer to invest in cryptocurrency because many people benefit by investing in the long run and for now you better invest in a promising altcoin because now the price of altcoin in the recovery period

Yes ICOs are very profittability but alot of people fear to invest into ICO's because ICOs are categorized into six different groups, namely, Scam, Failed, Gone Dead, Dwindling, Promising, and Successful and a small percentage of ICOs are considered successful so when investing into an ICOs make sure to do your research to be safe.

I agree that participation in ICO is not always beneficial, not all of them can give the desired result. But there is an interesting project where I decided to take part, this is the TokenGo project. I think that it will be very successful.

and the most experience that people have is getting scam by the ICO although I am sure that there are still many a good ICO that will give good things for the investor and all people. I think ICO is still profitable but it depends on the ICO itself and the team behind the projects that really serious to work with the projects. I see that many of these ICO getting successful after the ICO is finished and they can contribute to the market and they can reach more investor.

Investing in ICOs does not come without risks but it is important to understand these risks and don't let them force you into overthinking.
Do your due diligence when choosing which ICOs to invest in. Understanding the product offering, the team, the whitepaper and everything you can about the ico should be enough for you to decide which ones to invest in.

 Indeed, good ICO projects are few. So in order to make a profitable investment, you must have a dedicated team of ICO analysts. Good employees who work well in the analytical field will make you more profitable than ever. That will reduce your potential investment and the way to wealth will be shorter than ever. ;D

If you can choose a good ICO that can give you a fortune, then you're too lucky for that as good ICO is hard to find right now or it's rare. We had many ICOs had launch every week but mostly had a copy paste format from those previous projects. You need to work hard to get your profits as the market had in a correction mode, you can buy those coins at cheaper price and hold it until it bounce back for a sure profits.

In terms of investing in an ICO with possibility of being a coin that can solve real world issues, are there mechanisms within an ICO to stop investors with weight manipulating the price with a pump and dump to make their own profits?
Saw something intriguing in Bitcoin Origin's whitepaper about "vesting" the coins of the founding members for a period of time. Seems like a clever idea to keep the coin stable for a while

.pdf]file:///C:/Users/Bitcoin%20Origin%202/AppData/Local/Packages/microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/Files/S0/3/Bitcoin%20Origin%20-%20v4.5[43].pdf (http://file:///C:/Users/Bitcoin%20Origin%202/AppData/Local/Packages/microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/Files/S0/3/Bitcoin%20Origin%20-%20v4.5[43)

I actually was doing some research on ICOs, as I wanted to make sure I was certain before investing into a potential scam, and I came across a project that seemed to have much potential and they had no ICO. It is all self funded, and that made me think that this is an authentic project worth looking at. Bitcoin Origin I think its called. ICOs aren't always the answer to making money.

Don't expect to be rich in no time because we are all doing or joining ICO project, if your don't work hard as well then you can't earn big, but I believe some ICO are not meant to be profited for but a service that much better if use.

What's been said in the thread heading is the fact, because ico grows unexpected as well starts falling in no time. It's our goodness to analyze the market better and benefit when the price increases high. I've invested into few ico's, but the greedy mind made me miss the ath of the particular ico token and still holding to get the best through it.

Thats right there is no easy money on crypto because we are always required to exert an effort in order to earn free coins that we can exchange for real money .

Joining an ico is also a good way to earn free coins but dont expect to get instantly rich on them because ico's arent guaranteed to be a profitable business.

Overall i still agree on you when you said that ico are built for a specific reason and that is to serve people with their useful and unique service which is still related to cryptos and the blockchain technology.

I agree... a very well-chosen ICO is a great profit. It is necessary to seriously carefully select the ICO in which you are going to invest...

What are you kmow about WINSTARS?
They say they have a alfa realise a gambings platform. In June on ICO all people will can test it. And they have some intresting things - 60% profit to playing on the jackpot, 10% on dividends of hodlers. They want to start to exchange in some weeks After finish ICO

What are think about it?

Ico are profitable in any sense but at the same time we should understand these coins will have time for growth and later get dumped

Not all ICOs are profitable ,, If I think we have to be really careful in choosing ICO or we will get a permanent loss, but if you are already immersed in choosing ICO, you will be very lucky because you will benefit every time.

yes although iCO gives big advantage but not all ICO will give advantage because now too many ICO scam start to appear, so to avoid that we have to be really selective in choosing place to invest.

Many have had that opportunity of investing into good icos and has made good profits from it and others has lost significant financial fortune by investing into icos.  We also have had bad time in some of the projects that are in the market and about 80% of the icos in the market are scams project.  How did we select a good project should be what we should learn as this is the only way one can really make good profits investing into icos.

Also i think too many ICO launching each single day making it hard to keep track for the investors

I totally agree with this. I wish the Ethreum networkk had a way to block fake projects

Yes ICOs don't  guarantee profit. That's why we should be careful on investing only on the good ones that has potential and will have longterm use and developments. I you found a potential ICO then go for it. You may not earn after ICO but certain alts or coins get 1000% price increase in the coming months and years.

Inorder to be profitable we have to choose the right ICO. There are many scam ICO, which we cannot able to make profit because they failed to list in the exchanges and process of developing what they mentioned in the roadmap and this makes to decrease the price.

It is hard to choose the right ICO nowadays because of its proliferation with just a short period of time. You have to take into account the vision and mission of the team, the team behind and the possible adoption of it so that it would be valuable. An ICO is being launch every day and we can even see that in the announcement page but we don't know yet if those ICOs has the true intention of improving the lives of the people or just taking advantage of the investor so we have to do a thorough research about it.

I still don't get why we need too many ICOs in our crypto space. But correct me if am wrong, the problem is intrinsic - blockchain - being too rigid in most cases and being not scalable results into a new generation of the same product almost as quickly as it is being produced.

So many ICOs have similar product ideas and some may even be copying from others so it is hard work to research and find real good ones. There are plenty of mediocre and bad ICOs that barely meet and exceed their soft cap and could be trading  below ICO prices for a long time.

ICO's are good especially if its successful but of course you really have to pick a good one so you will not be broke in the long run. Its not an easy money but if its a good ICO your investment will be worth it.

This is why you should be very careful on choosing ICO because not all of the are real and profitable.

this is why we always need to research the ICO before we decide to invest with them. there are too many ICO in out there that offerings to be the best projects that will reach their goals in the future. after searching the ICO by reading their whitepaper, find more about the projects, I am sure that we can find a clue or guide about the projects so we can choose what projects that we want to invest.

Lol... indeed there are shitcoins out there that don't deserve trading attention, however, even as ridiculous and worthless as they are, ingenious and clever traders have only used them as means to an end - stashing up other real value coins.

But if there's truly any silver lining to all this, it's that it's really becoming harder to trust ICOs and hence developers take things seriously and investors don't trust their gut instincts alone, they research and are well informed. The whole community of cryptocurrency supporters, investors and blockchain enterprise itself, is unravelling new ways to building economic ridges not necessarily dependent on already established protocols.

Don't worry ICO just started this revolution..ICO has proven to be the best way to start cryptocurrency projects even, in my opinion ICO has the potential to revolutionize the way real economy projects are funded.
There are still many opportunities to make a profit on ICO investment but we have to be selective in choosing projects.
You need to do a serious research to identify ICO that will be profitable.
Project,Team,Whitelist,hyp,reliability,Team communication

Icos are very profitable and you can make fortune out of them because they are easy ways to earn token if you are take time to do a good research about the project before you invest in it as there are many icos that ends up being scam. If proper measure are not taken, you might end up at loss in ico.

Verry profitable?  What the f? no they arent. Ico's are not verry profitable but instead they are verry risky because almost all ico's do usually ended up on scam , if not scam you cant still be able to earn big profit on them because bounty hunters will always be the first to dump their coins at the end of the ico.

There is only a small percent that an ico can give you huge return for your invested capital , thats why i wouldnt recomend anyone to invest on an ico if you arent a serious risk taker.

I believe the OP's statement is somewhat true. I have participated in GRFT campaign and held onto the reward, at first the price of GRFT was too low from the promised price; after a month, the price of GRFT peaked and is currently one of my beloved coins that I will hold for long term. Now, I am being paid thru WAGE and I believe that the project will succeed as well in the future, that is why I'm holding it too.

if we know that the ICO we are in are profitable then we will not have to worry investing in these ICO's but that is not the case some ico show a lot of promise going through their sales, but after that investors are losing money because these ico's cannot keep up on what is in their roadmap or fail to gain supporters.

That is! Maybe not every project is scammy but token you get from ico is gambling. You might be rich if tech is good and token is getting high. But if you are not lucky, maybe token you buy now from ico is just a trash.

Do you have source for the claim that 80% of ICOs are scam projects or is this just a gut feeling? I think this number is far to high but if you have hard data then please share it

some ICOS are good for getting a quick buck since you can sell it after it get listed on exchange or wait for the right time.

But it will depends on the project what you are investing.

Yes that's true but most of the ICO is now very long to register its token in the stock and some even up to 6 months, it is very annoying.
Most of their teams work very slowly.

The process of a blockchain project is slow, but I think that it is logical. If you look at an average roadmap of a project then you can see that they want to do a lot of things. Take a example like a mainnet. For such a thing you need to build first a good team and not every blockchain project starts with good developers, because they do not have funds for it. After getting funds with the investments from the ICO they can start developing something.

Yes I agree with what you have said, ICO can indeed generate profit for Investors but there are some ICO projects that can scam

I noticed the same, especially this year. There are so many ICOs that make it a lot harder to get listed. I went in with 2 ICOs in March and still waiting for the exchange. Token are locked with smart contract, so can't even sell on forkdelta. It's a shame.

I think it depends on crypto market trend, last year a lot of ICO is very profitable because the trend is bullish but this year is different because we are in the bear market so most traders and investors don't want to put the money on an ICO in a bear market because it is very risky unless the project is very promising. Also, I think more and more ICO project is running by scammers like Bitcoinnect, Titanium and many more...

I joined some ICO's and so far some gave me a huge profit. But not all ICO's are legit. There are some that don't pay even though you work hard to promote their project.

You can earn more money by doing get more information and do some research about the ico you want to invest. ICO's now are more profitable thant buying an old coins on top 20 that you need to be a longterm holder to get your preferred profit. Nowadays, when the ico listed on the exchange, maybe the price will be under the ico price or maybe ×5-×10 from the ico price. So you better, do more research before investing.

I will suggest QuickX and Roomdao if you want big profits after the ico ends. This projects are awesome and they hit both the softcap on their private sale.

Certainly, every ICO has the vision to earn profit but not its always be the case because there are also ICO that are not successful because no investors investing of that coin and the result is it will be postpone or worse the team will decide to permanently stop, but as what I have experience still crypto is always a profitable activity.

It doesnt really last forever back into previous years were ICO is just new where most investors do took out good profits compared into recent years late 2017 and now 2nd quarter of 2018 there might be some profitable but most of them tends out to be on break even or negative depending on the project. There are instances on where i do invested after hitting up exchangers it do gives out lower price not even equaled on the price where its on pre-sale value which do really sucks as an investor.

There are a lot of scams among the projects. I very carefully choose ICO for investment. At the moment, I really like the Eloncity project. This project aims to make electricity cheaper. " ELONCITY decentralizes our power infrastructure into millions of self sufficient microgrids. Locally produced energy is available 24/7 and directly competitive to utilities.

if you choose the right ICO project you earn very high . There are still many opportunities to make a profit on ICO investment but we have to be selective in choosing projects.but Not all ICO profitable, and it was always that way, actually, more than 80% of ICO will end scam people

ICOs used to be profitable in the past, but not any more. Over the past few months, most of the ICOs price has dropped sharply when they got listed on exchanges.

OK, if we choose the right potential ICO project then the profit for us is quite high. But choosing the wrong one will probably cost us a lot of money. That is why some people are afraid to invest in ICO.

Oh, yes, brother. ICO is the best thing that I had  ;D in crypto currencies. How happy I am that I started to understand this difficult topic. ICO will not always bring such a profit, as now, and the future of ICO is very blurry. So now is the golden age. So don't be lazy, try to figure out how to choose a good ICO and start investing.

Yes i agree that ICO's are way profitable than any other coins, but guess what some ico's are scam and they will not going to give an amount of token that you will have, beware of scammers. It might be you? lol  ;D ;D just kidding folks.

I invest only in well-studied projects, one of them is Tradelize. There are a lot of crypto market participants who will greatly welcome the opportunity to use a professional toolkit, which is based on mature market strategies and which gives regular people an easy way to enter the game.

I think that ico will be successful only when the project is will be needed by society. so my choice fell on the project PAVOCOIN, if you have not heard about it, then I advise you to get acquainted and you will understand why I think so.

Of course, investing in ICO is very profitable, but when the market falls, the coins that go after the ICO on the exchange also fall and you can buy them cheaper! But then there will be growth, so some of the projects I buy after entering the stock exchange

Investors should really take their time and efforts to do some research in the ICOs projects they are planning to invest, I have seen an increase in the numbers of ICOs projects that have gone into scam for the past few months, and this should serves as a big warning to all investors to take a more careful approach when they are investing in ICOs projects.

Not all ICOs are profitable, there are many failed ICOs already where the dev run away with the funds collected or the price dropped down significantly below the ICO's price. In this case, investors are not in profit but they are in big lost.
Always do deeper looking at the project before investing in ICOs, and dont invest more than what you can afford to lose although you think they are great ICOs.

All ICO's are not profitable because many ICO failed to develop the products and this lead to lose their money invested in the ICO. Even though we research very good about the product and team but many projects are not giving updates after they raise enough money.

it's just like ICO or the other but usually the price of coin / tokens when ICO is usually cheaper, when the new coin will already enter the free market / market / exchange and the price is higher then the investor can sell it

I guess vaporwares are another thing to look out for on top of scams. What we really need is a community or platform that can help detect bad ICOs from the good ones. Existing platforms do provide recommendations and stuff, but I think that for the right price, editors or journalists can be bribed; don't you think?

Throughout my search, I've finally found an ICO platform/marketplace that I can safely call a game changer. It will launch its token sale this mid-July and I'm very excited to see it roll-out what it stated in its white paper which is generally to provide a safe and easy ICO experience. I'm still re-reading their white paper which can be found here https://www.menlo.one

Yes, the best way to do before investing is do some more research about the project if the ico will reach the even the softcap. The real victim of the postponed or stopped the project is the bounty, I joined on Safein signature campaign for 5 months and then one day they announced that the ico and project will be stopped because they are not sure if the softcap will reach. 5 months of wasting time of the sh*t team.

Many ICO which enter the market now, fall in price by 50% or more. This is very bad, people will stop investing for fear of losing their capital because many people are investing to quickly double or triple the investment, and now this is not happening.

icos are profitable but in one case we should have patience and understanding of the ico roadmap and more important ico company communication all this included we can expect profit

I think this is simply because the token has no intrinsic value and was just used for a quick pump and dump. I think this is the result of a coin being hyped so much that so many newbie ICO  investors got sucked in. Hopefully this will soon change once Menlo One launches its token sale and get its ICO marketplace operational this mid July. Here's a detailed interview of Menlo One's CEO by Korean Jew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o I'd like some insights from long-time ICO investors since I'm not sure if I should be risking most of my capital for this token?

This is just a beginning.
We might see many ICO coming everyday and very few percentage making it actually successful. Utility and use case is what matter in long term. We have tons of shit coins in the market at the moment with practically no utility or value. Almost 95% of cryptocurrencies are worth basically zero by any reasonable measure. We keep on seeing more ICO in coming in future. This isn't the end. I believe one - possibly more - of them might change the world.

Classifying a project if it would be a great one or not isnt really a sure thing that you would able to be profitable in the end. Even its a good one but depending on how would the project develop or do follow their roadmap. Ive seen lots of scenarios where most of them dump out their project and sell out tokens on their holdings some might end up dying but some do still able to live on due to its traders. Being dumped by its devs but still kicking out due to users who are trading it of.

There are many legitimate ICO's at current but profitability is going down day by day due to increased number of participants and reward being distributed in large number of participants. But still we are entering the agr of these cryptocurrencies and with greater trust and improved technology they will get success in future.So keep hunting good bounties to get tokens and hodl them for long term.

icos coins have shell life if the project is futuristic and high marketing campaign then we can expect the growth or else there is lot of risk involved

Right now is s terrible time for ICOs, a projected I waited months to get listed (Thrive) trades at 1/4 of the ICO price. Great return and your coins are locked up for ages too

I think even though some icos are having a bit of a rough time at the minute, the decent projects are still getting good investment and turning a decent profit. The bear market is weeding out a lot of the scams or bad projects though because people are a lot more careful about where they are investing their money and that is actually a really good thing.

If you like ICOs then pick some good projects and you can still make very decent profits.

There is never an investment that can bring success in the financial and cryptocurrency markets. In ICO investment, the most important thing is to choose a good investment project and you can only succeed if you have selected a potential project. So you will fail if you choose a bad project to invest and unfortunately the current number of good ICO projects on the market is extremely low.

One ICO can change your fortune and future while another ICO if unsuccessful can also bring you down and make you despair. ICOs are trial and error game which should be done with an amount you can afford to lose.

Profit ICO project is undoubtedly a very important indicator of the success of the company. But you still should not forget about the idea that the project team implements and focus on the idea and how it can make our world better.

Well, the case now is not legitimate or scam. There are many ico that legitimate but has not popularity to make price higher.
We need more like popularity to increase cap and price. Good or not the development will not the matter, they have good price if they are popular.

I think there are some profitable icons and some are also losers. we must be smart to chose ico. i once invested GVT and i was able to earn 10000%

yeah ICOs are still profitable like Sonder for example

I completely agree, I think the ICO craze will last a while longer rather than just fading into the abyss anytime real soon. Once we get out of being the wild-wild-west so much, and some more regulation and oversight comes into play, i think the ICO craze will start to slow down.

If you are interested in ICOs by any chance...I won't give you advice on how to spend your money, but maybe give some time to checking these out.
Neither of these has actually launched yet, so just look into them if you'd like.

Fr8 Network's goal is to remove intermediaries from supply chains and bring revenue back to carriers and distributors.

Muirfield IP is a private equity fund utilizing blockchain technology.

yes we do have to be smart in choosing ico, people say investing in ico like buying a cat in a sack, but not if we pay attention to his roadmap clearly like ONT TRX BNB.
I have seen in etherscan ROI generated for tron reaches 4700% in just 1 year period, and also above 10000% for bnb I think, so yeah I think ico is still a good place to make money.

in my opiion a good ico should have a good product or idea

with this 2 parts it could be a good start at big exchanges.

it was interesting to know the full spectrum of project analysis capabilities. very many users find individual opportunities to identify more promising and discard fraudulent ico companies.

Fellow Crypto Enthusiasts,

I have been a member of a great new community run by Joel Kovshoff

LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cryptocurrencyeducator)
Twitter (https://twitter.com/JoelKovshoff)
I have been following Joel for some time, since the beginning of his great facebook page where he does live shows and answers all questions personally, in a friendly but educational manner.
https://www.facebook.com/cryptocurrencyeducation101/ (https://www.facebook.com/cryptocurrencyeducation101/)
You can watch his live shows, and gain some great inside knowledge of what is happening in the crypto scene at any given time. You can also revisit and catch up on the shows later.

I am here simple to recommend this pool, for no personal gain as I am not allowed to use referal links here, to help would be investors and to grow our community.

A little background on ICOs;
Initial Coin Offering allows you to swap your ETH for the future launch of any given project, you will use an ERC-20 Wallet (MEW or Metamask) to send the ETH, and you will receive your ERC-20 Tokens of that ICO back when the launch date occurs - SIMPLES!
The benefit of using a pool is the discounts and bonuses you recieve, as well as thorough research into the token being offered.

Why MyICOpool?
The projects are hand picked by Joel and his team on www.myicopool.com (http://www.myicopool.com), so you are always investing in the top projects, and Joel has some great contacts in the crypto space, meaning he can get the best deals on returns. ETH is also pegged at the highest rate during the ICO pool investment deadline time, or at a particular rate, whichever is higher.
MyICOPool is a GUI friendly website, and is very easy to use, you just pick the token you want to invest in, and it will give you the ETH wallet address to send your ETH from.
Great community on Telegram t.me/myICOPoolOfficial (http://t.me/myICOPoolOfficial)

How to invest in MyICOpool?
1) Create a MEW wallet or a Metamask wallet (I chose the later it is very easy to use)
2) Send your ETH to the MEW/Metamask wallet.
3) From MEW/Metamask, send your ETH to the ETH address given on the website for the token you want to invest in.
4) Relax. These projects take time to get off the ground, but for your piece of mind, The team have built in the Token delivery date for you to stick in your calenders.
5) On delivery date, you will recieve your Tokens for your nominated investment.

Example:
Elysian, ELY project, intial token price $0.12. With MyICOPool you get 200% Bonus, and ETH pegged at $750. Therefore if you had invested 1ETH into this token (Regardless of the value of ETH during or after the presale), you will get 6250 Tokens + 200% Bonus = 18750 Tokens. Pool fee of 5% of 6250 original investment so you will have 18438 Tokens worth around $2212 when the token launches.

SOnder ICO gonna be profitable anyway

If you can see the last days of the Indian coin offering so may see that approximately 8-percent of the ICOs are scams and fraud and if you invest in an ICO very careful only then can you make a profit in this field

I think that ico will be successful only when the project is will be needed by society. so my choice fell on the project Tradelize, if you have not heard about it, then I advise you to get acquainted and you will understand why I think so.

Well, my friend. If you ask my honest opinion, I am never ever going to support the idea of investing in ICOs especially not now when there are scams everywhere and people have hundreds of options. If you are really willing to invest in digital coins and make sufficient amount out of it, go for the famous and trustworthy coins which have shown their potential from time to time.

Well, you should always do research before participating in different ICOs because you might just throw your money in the end and no one wants that to happen. Making special notice on the ICO profitability takes a lot of effort. And also, you should have enough luck as well.

Only hyped ICOs may be profitable investment.
Moreover it is very important project to reach hard cap very quick. Project with only soft cap reached usually are not in very big demand.
Personally I would like to advise to take a look at Ubex and Ingot. Both project most likely will give good profits in short term period

Considering to pick up one of that projects for a week already ;D Both are cool and can not decide which one to pick up.
Very good point about hard cap reaching. I have also noticed that projects where hard cap is reached most likely grow much faster comparing with those one where only soft cap is reached

I understand your point but I also think that there are some and there will continue to be some legit icos that will be worth investing in and they will remain in crypto while the less potential ones might not survive the market that is why it is always advisable to do a very good and deep research of a project before you invest in it.

indeed right now there are a lot of fraud in the ICO, so if my advice is better to invest in coins that are already well-known than ever, therefore there will be no such thing as fraud

Diversify. 50% for Ingot and 50% for Ubex. Diversification it is the key element of the successful investing strategy

My deposit for ICO investments is not so big to devide. Need to pick up one.
If I can not decide which one is better will leave all in ETH and thats it ;D :D

Just make a random choice. Ubex and Ingot are almost equal in terms of bonuses at the current stage and long term prospectives

haha ;D Has a sense indeed.
However my choice is ETH, if you want to invest fiat ETH is the best coin ever for that. It is almost at ATL.

The best altcoins to me will be ICOs that will emerge with tangible projects in 2018.
Now that the mostly weak hands have left or people are more cautious, the market will stabilise towards coins that have more promising techs and solid teams.
Following some trends that I have personally observed, the thing that will change is more and more non-ethereum based ICOs will come out.
For example, check out the Eterbase project, one of the more promising ones to me.

Yep ICO is profitable but you need to choose the right project, but you are going to spend a lot of time for research and picking the most profitable project, nowadays there are some may project come out, so you just need to choose carefully and check all the things before you decide to invest in ICO

Well even I like the project I will just buy the token from ICO when its already entered in the market . Because in my opinion it can be lower from the ICO price so I can get more .
