Bitcoin Forum

I have participated in many legit ICOs. They got listed in best exchanges but the value did not even increase even to the core of ICO price set. Do you consider getting listed is thier success. I say no. Yours?

I say you are in the wrong section, move your topic to Bitcoin Forum > Alternate cryptocurrencies > Altcoin Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0)

Being listed on an exchange means nothing if the project is shit. The coin needs to be practical, have a good purpose, the project needs to be sustainable for the future, and there needs to be a user base for it. Many ICOs lack one or more, and that's why you see lots of coins/tokens get dumped once it hits an exchange.

I say no too, some ICO prices will rise before it listed on great exchange, and maybe you dont need to sell your ICO until it get listed, but its your turn to take profit from selling your ICO now from the current exchange, because once they hit the great exchange, usually many dumper will dump their coin.

Many threads here seem to be in the wrong section.

Being listed to an exchange is just part of their plan and its the start to their success. You can't say that a project is already success by just being listed on an exchange. There must be a continuous progress on what they have been promoting before.

No.. But I think successfully carrying out projects as stated on their road map.

Getting listed is just an initial success and also come to think off that not all coin value would able to achieve that ICO price easily where it would always come to a point where they do really dump out and going back to recovery would really takes time depending on the demand of such coin or project. If they do able to pump up then its considered success but the thing i do most view out is that if a project do able to give out on what they do had promised since from the start.

ICO successful means just sale of coin not the project successful. After all ICO or coin listing just initial part of any project. Project successful when it generates good revenue with some short of time period not just for some time and it should be regular. After all it's all about money that's why I consider revenue part most despite ICO successful and Project Successful much difference.

Getting listed on an exchange is part of the goal of an ICO. A quick check through their roadmap will show that they plan to list on exchange on specified dates. Achieving that is a success on the part of the project. Whether or not the token does well at the exchange is a different ball game.

Maybe people starting realizing ICO is just copy-paste of bitcoin with less or more imiginary modifications.
Where is value in that?

The success or failure of an ICO should not start or end with listing on exchange, the road map has to be achieved, product developed and deployed. listing on exchange is meant to onboard new investors

Of course more than that, if the ICO with successful sales, of course they can maximize the development of their projects in real terms. even listing in a number of large markets that can push up the price of their tokens / coins significantly. and they can also run the roadmap more smoothly. but some developers actually cheat, they only want personal benefits, still be careful in choosing ico

Listing on exchanges is the beginning of any ICO after its token sale. Its attract more investor when listed to several exchanges. But the success of the ICO depends when project meets their promised work. And when the investor  also received stable revenue from the company that they have invested.

It's more than that. Many crap coins are being listed in an exchange everyday.
So being listed is not by any means a measure of success of a project.
You are right that a coin should have a purpose and should gain consumers that will really utilize the coin.
Without application in the market, the coin is basically dead or will end up in trading only, up until the value declines and be abandoned by traders.
You can really tell that a certain project is bound to success if they have good progress, that they can deliver results based from their roadmap, that they have partners to make their project a reality, their dev team is active and has good communication with the community.
Actually there's more, but the bottomline is, they should have a large consumer base or user base. Without consumers, the project will go nowhere.

Of course not, unless they have a working product the project isn't successful - everything else is just fuel for pump and dump schemes

That depends on the exchange site most of coins have listed on the major exchange site get a lot of increase on its price and you can see that how QKC has been trading more than 5x from its ico price caused by it's been listed on the binance exchange site. The hype of the project will give a lot of impacts too.

There are still some good projects . I like MUST PLATFORM. The MUST platform is an ecosystem of services for digitization, tokenization, management, trading of assets and financial instruments of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. The real-time monitoring of the current state of assets provides smart investors with reliable information necessary for making a decision on investing in an asset.

i think that is part of a good project to get to listed on a big exchange, but that does not guarantee success. especially in the current market situation, it is difficult for every token to grow in price. we have to wait for the next big price increase, then maybe the price of many tokens will increase again.

No.  For me personally the exchange has nothing to do with the success.  The success if when the project creates what it set out to do in it's white paper and has hopefully benefited the crypto community with their project.  The exchanges will come automatically once the project is shown to be legit and successful.

You should put the list of ICO that you have participated. The idea of legitimated could be totally different. But mostly of great projects are still given a great ROI. The problem is that we have many that do not offer anything. It is just a paper and ERC20 token. SO, they could be listed in many exchanges but as they do not offer anything relevant, they will be killed really soon.

What I have recently discovered, is that many Exchanges put a minimal listed day. So on Binance is something like 130 days. The coin will be there for 130 days, if they do not offer great volume or appears to be something useful, it will be delisted.

In my opinion, the exchange is one of the media for product development and to facilitate other investors to enter to support the project, because they lost the opportunity to participate in the ICO. In other words, Exchange is an exchange transaction. But not all goes well here, many factors influence the increase in the value of tokens from a platform. in 2017 I attended ICO Minexcoin (MNX) with a base price of $ 5 but after entering the exchange for 3 months followed by other developments the MNX value rose sharply to $ 65. Now, this is an example, that the ICO project that has entered the exchange and is balanced with further development will get traction and positive value in the eyes of the community and impact on the addition of value due to continued adoption.

ICO will be called succes if  their token price when listed on the exchange above ICO price by minimun 50%. And the company has program to protect their investor by program buy back and burn token model, like Binance Coin. Now many price of token below ICO price even going down 90% from ICO price but the team developer does not have any plan to increase the price.

If the icos you are talking about are legitimate as you are saying then you do not have nothing to worry, the reason the price is not going up has more to do with the market than with anything else, but if you are mistaken it is entirely possible the price of the coins you are holding will never go up and it could crash in the next months, so for the time being you need to trust that your due diligence was good enough to separate the scams from the legitimate projects.

getting the list in an exchange is the second part of success from the ico after the ico is ended their crowd sales. and they have hard work to stay survive in the exchange, and they need to continue the progress of their projects. and if they can reach their goals from their plan, then I think this is the real success in the long-term, and not all project can achieve this because sometimes the project abandoned in the middle of the way and the dev leave the project without any information.

No, the most important thing from ICO is the coin able to go up or being adopted by companies, getting listed is the first step, but the measurement of success project is not stop until that point, the investors need profit and want some proved that the coin can be a good investment

Main success would be achieving what they wrote in whitepaper. In most ICOs, final product turns out to be very different (bad!) than outlined in whitepaper.

Getting listed on exchanger is one of many success of ICOs. The most important thing successfull ICOs is when they can fullfill their whitepaper into real product and become working product.

The development of the project is more important than force listing on the bad exchanger.
Sometimes it can really affect the value of the coins/tokens.
