Hi all,

For my master thesis, I’m currently doing a study about Initial Coin Offerings. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the key motivations of investors to invest in an ICO. In order to finalize my study, I made a survey. You’ll find the link to this below. It would be extremely helpful to me if you could make some time to fill in and complete my survey. It will take you approximately 4 – 6 minutes.

Thanks in advance!

That is also an interesting view!

What motivate me is myself. Funny how it is but it is myself. I believe in crypto itself, and to believe in the whole cryptocurrency, is to believe in icos. With ico, it make the whole crypto, so I invest there.

In the hope that the project will be successful after its launch, and this will bring a large cryptographic value to the tokens that I purchased before the project began.

The fact that I would be making for good money in the future gets me motivated. Blockchain  invention is so interesting and educating so in order to know more on how it works, I invest more into it and observe.

When i invest in ICOs my motive is to make more profit for my future if you have find the best ICOs, im really want to invest in ICOs most of them are giving some bunos to their investors and they see to it that their investment is being secure with them.

Return of investment.
The world hasn't seen such huge growth of investment in short amount of time for years.
You can literally double your money every year. It would take 10 years for bank to do it.

I think all of you would agree that it is all because of gaining high profit. But I think the second important thing to consider when investing is the concept of the project itself if there's a use-case scenario of it. Because I think any coin/token wouldn't be successful if they don't have any real-world use. BTW, currently I have high hopes in menlo.one not only because of its profit but also its concept.

The income motivates me. I was very stress with my financial status since i have 3 children and they are all in a private school. Giving my family a good future ahead is my driving mechanism

Mostly because of they interested with ability of ICO which can earn big profit in short time if the project success. But beside that, they have to know that invest in ICO has bigger risk than invest in Altcoin or Bitcoin like SCAM and bigger chance for that project failed.

For me I like gradual growth in profit and that is why I would invest in an ico coin that is good. Also, because the price will be cheaper compared to others that are listed and doing good in the market. My third angle is that, it has the prospect of hitting it big in the market as a newcomer.

Everyone is attracted by the opportunity to make a profit. But this market reminds me of the Islands on which seals grow their offspring. During this period there are always a lot of sharks. Where there is an opportunity to make a profit there is always a lot of scams. This is the biggest ICO problem.

Good way of going around your studies. Well I will publicly answer that what motivates me to invest in ICO is to try out new projects and seek for the crypto profits from it. Mostly im applying strategies while investing into the crypto project such as, giving priorities to the ICO projects who has successful private sale as well as pre-sale. No matter what price is in the main sale, I will always wait for the confirmation of two phases first, a confirmation that they have been successful about it. Once its done then I will have little trust over that ICO as they have required funds to run the company. Then onwards I will keep investing if main sale goes and reach the hard cap.

So its basically profits, fun of investing and tricking the different methods.

Of course the good return after the initial coin offering. And especially if the ICO project promise a huge bonuses for all participats after the ICO ends,  which is the common reason why more investors always risk some money to invest even there are some ICO investments site that always run and turn to scam .lol

Ease of access. Lot of choices. Better return on investment.
Less hassle and paperworks. Fully online.
These are some of the reasons I'm attracted towards ICO investment.

Most of people here in crypto world are the main reason is to make money, and gain more profits. Investing in ICO are very profitable but there is a high chance to loss or being a victim of scam, because most of ICO now are scam unlike the ICO's in the past year.

Investment in ICOs is the most effective way to make money, that ICO investment can give you good profit in a short time, I think this is my main motivation. My current targets are Liven and Ubex, I think ICO research and selection is the most important, so make sure you DYOR on these.

boredom. as far as money goes, I'm pretty well-off, I don't need to make all that much on my side projects, so I'm just in for the ride, you know?
really love this sense of unpredictability that comes with crypto trading, haha

Getting profit when I entered the world of cryptocurrency is the only driving force for my investment in ICO. With a new understanding of blockchain technology, I gradually became interested and hoped to learn more about how it works. How to Profiting, so that I can learn more and make me more profitable in future investments.
