I will start investing in ICOs if
1) they can afford funds on there own to run there projects and stop relying on softcaps and hardcaps(investors money) which is why its the perfect haven for scammers ,you want to create a project that is very promising and you don't have the funds just move on ,no matter how good the project is if the hardcap is not achieved its goodbye

2)the waiting game is annoying ,if they follow my 1st idea there won't be anything holding them back especially bounty rewards ,nowadays you have to wait months for ICO to end and keep praying it become successful so as to get your rewards and the term successful from any ICO is from 'achievement of hardcaps ' this days not what the project is here to deliver ,there are still good projects out there that never launch ICO and they are doing better

ICOs are not one simple entity. Some companies/coins will be scam, others not. ICO is a type of funding mechanism. You just have to look for a good comapny to invest.

You are not thinking like an investor, but as a bounty hunter.

An investor check the coin/company team, general idea, project, financial situation, etc. Some ICOs are already established companies that are just  looking for a different funding mechanism.

Investing in ICO that do bounties with tokens may not be a good idea if they are paying too much tokens on bounties.

It is a good thing to self-fund projects and there have been similar projects of such.

If project CEOs should fund by themselves, it means that you will not need to invest in the ICO again, except its coin is listed on exchange.

A lot of people are waiting for real development, that will bring about transformation in the crypto space.

If the product is good, customers will be attracted.
 

this kind of complaint is not hope, because ICO is a long process to raise funds.
Forget ICO if you can't wait for sales to reach hardcap. even have to wait a long time to get the token and wait for the token to be registered in the market.
ICO is only for those who have confidence and patience.

That's more like a choice, you deciding to start buying ico is easy to say say more like you buying the real ico. It's easier said than done, well someone need to buy them to make the ico an ico, thanks for sharing the info

I agree with you, if they can run their projects with their funds so what for they provide ICOs. If they have enough funds, they only will promote their projects through social media and no need to have ICOs. Commonly, CEOs or project teams provide ICOs in order to collect funds to run their projects.  

1) By investing in a ICO, project, VE or whatever, you are giving your money for a share of the project. If the project have own money to run it, they wouldn't need you and you would't get any share. It's simple as that.

2) Invest only on project with MVP.

Grown up. Your business logic is... none.

Most ICOs are indeed scam reason why many are skeptical about investing. However, some have proven to be exceptional, hence there is hope. Your points are valid, if I some projects are already gearing towards your suggestions. Let's keep the good faith, crypto revolution is coming.

This is not a investment suggestions, but since you are willing to participate in some successful projects you can check out Sylo.io, they already have their communication platform in the market and will be releasing the decentralized platform in the end of March.

I will start investing in ICO if I see the prospect of the real product in the future of the project. I think that the real product will be more promising for a long-term holding. However of course, firstly, I must identify whether this project tends to be scam or not carefully.
I will also choose the project if they have unique concept and design.

Yes, I really agree with you. If he doesn't want to wait long, it's better to buy tokens that already exist in the trade, because I think all ICO rules are the same, all investors must wait until the time specified by them. so there will be no ICO done in just a few days.

Mighty_crypt and to all,

Apparently my link to the Sundance video has been deemed suspicious and has been rendered useless.

I understand security concerns.  You can do a Google search, instead.

Cheers,

So you are more of a bounty hunter? Well thats fine as you actually we invested our time and effort. There are ICO that already have a working project and it is for testing before ICO started like Membrana https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3119562.0 and they even have a trading competition but most ICO needed funds for development and thats the problem with this situation most of them do not reach their target.

supports from funding with the ico scheme might helps as referring backup on coverage as developer to work on decision as applying the tasks on modest with arrange as offering goods of service with the deliverance,
as more on extensive to collects with returns as manage to improve revenue with company on business.

I agree with the first one. I'm not going to invest in a project that doesn't have a product. That's why I prefer those projects with budgets already because I know that no matter how good the concept of a project are, they are going to fail if the desired cap is not reached.

absolutely right, there are many projects that don't launch ico but can be very successful today. even projects that only come from airdrop can be one big coin, like stellar.

Your idea was so interesting, but I doubt if some project can realize that your idea. People create an ICO to raise a fund to create a project if you are already investing in the project that means you agree with the risk of investment.
Try investing in STO (Security Tokens Offering) it has less risk than ICO...

Almost all ICO are scam now and it takes more than been careful to invest in one ,if you are not very careful you will be a scam victim, i think STO will perform better than ICO and the waiting game will be over ,iCO won't survive without funds I guess that's why its called ICO

This is one of the biggest problems of ICOs. Projects can make ICO process as flexible as they want. For example, last year when the ETH price was $ 800, the project was not successful, but decided to return the funds it collected. The price of 1 ETH was $ 200 when they decided to return. Investors kept their money for months and their money fell to 1/4.

i would never invest in any ICO under any circumstances because it is obvious to me that they don't have any future and any profit that they may give you is based on your luck not based on their success. in other words you can only make profit from investing in some ICO only if the ICO can fool a lot of people into giving them their money and gets pumped afterwards. otherwise you are throwing your money away in a gambling game with bad odds.

In my opinion, I'd better invest in ICO after they reach the softcap and hardcap and until they can get a list in the exchange because it means, the price can get lower than the ICO price. That will be a great time for me to buy the tokens because the price is not too high and besides that, I will invest bigger if I think the project can compete with the other tokens with the similar project. But I realize that to choose the right ICO will be difficult since there is too many ICO in out there.

for myself, this year I still see the development of ICO in this year, but I don't intend to invest in IOC because last year I encountered several fake Iico projects and many of them did not pay.

I will start investing in ico if the team has a featured buy back program. Because even if the price of the coin is below dropping, if they had a buy back program, the price of the coin will go back to normal again.

I prefer to invest in altcoins instead of investing in the ICO project, because for me investing in altcoins is also good for us to make a profit every day with me trading on the market.

Most of us here in this forum already knew that ICO is dead and thanks to those scam projects which gave a bad reputation to cryptocurrency. I agree with your ideas specially on supporting their project without relying on softcap or hardcap. The project must be 80% develop before raising an ICO. That way, most investors are secured that this project will survive and more opportunities to improve it.

I have never seen ico using its own funds. ico the use of investor funds. many ico have failed and returned investors' funds. What are you afraid of? You just have to choose a good ico. and you have to see how their teams, products, advisors, and partners.

These your choice, you can't play drama as you want when investing, there are some parties you have to believe and can run your money well. However, if you are not prepared to face the wishes of some of these parties, you should not invest in ICO anymore. Just look for a good coin in your opinion without expecting people's suggestions. Investing is about money, you have to be able to make sure the money you spend can give you profit.

Frankly, I still don't think about investing in ICO, the experience during 2018 is enough to make me think again if I want to invest in ICO. I prefer short-term trading in the meantime.

Can completely ignore ICO investment because the kind doesn't have any that kind of sales when it is was released so it really depends on how good the project not based on the project but the advertisement strategy may increase the rate if success so don't invest if it is bad.

Most of the altcoins now are already make a big impact in the market and its good to invest on that compare to any ICO. But still there are some good projects that its worth to support and for sure it can be a good altcoins too in the future. Its good to have standard like that before you invest on ICO, that means you are not joining the hype and you are making your own research.

You are right. Due to uncertain market conditions it is very much required that projects should have own funds rather than waiting for softcap or hardcap reach.
This will make them prepare for worst conditions and to continue development.
I have seen icos raised only 10% of hardcap due to bad market situation.
For a successful projects,is very much important that they have a strong foundation.
For bounty rewards, I see it's a game of patience. However it's required that they should not delay the distribution from what timeline it's been decided.

Since the market is not in a good trend, its good to have a guidelines before investing on ICO’s since its too risky to invest on ICO right now because of scams investment. You can also invest on some altcoins like ETH and XRP that is already on a top position which can give profit to you, but its your choice what to buy.

Everyone maybe have their own hope in this world. But in fact, they wouldn't do ICO if they have funds to develop their project. And people now maybe only need to make it simple, if we don't like ICO project, just don't invest on it.

All these aspects would become true on the bullish market. Right now no ICO would do this and I think the only thing we need to change is to find a way of how to protect investors from fraud projects. It is a very important step and it would help to attract a lot of new audience to our market.

What? Do you not consider the very basic idea why cryptocurrency is created? for peer to peer transaction without ease and difficulty. That's the main point, I hope I can convince you with that, so you should see the practical purpose of the crypto in order to be happy upon using it in your own way so you can avoid disappointment.

I think that the assembled hardcap is a very important point. This makes it clear that the project was supported by a large number of investors. In my experience, a very small percentage of the cobblers succeed. This means that the project may soon be listed on the stock exchange.

If I understand and see that the project is really not complicated and the project has a transparent structure, if in general I understand that today there is no such project on the market as proposed. If all this is true, but of course I will invest in the project.

Since ICO is one of the easy source of company funding, so there are many project that keep opening an ICO when they are trying to start their business. Getting a funding in real world is so much hard if we don't really has a solid project to begin with.

You have a good point I will start investing and continue investing in ICO if we have a regulation where there is a panel which will govern these ICO they are not rating sites because some of these rating sites have done nothing to stop these scam ICO.

Investing in ICO is a risk but there are good projects, I pay attention mainly to the development team and the ratio of the token price during the ICO and the number of coins issued. So that the investment has common sense. For example, as an ERA token. And of course, if the project has a good idea and product for development.

ICO for this purpose, and appear to investors helped the projects to appear. Nothing to change in this scheme will be impossible, want to invest in already running business, buy shares and get your 10-15% per year and not the fact that it will be a constant profit. ICO is a very risky way of earning, but the profit can be several hundred percent.

I think there must be standard things to do for ICOs. For example, they should keep the investment counter accurate and up to date. I would like to keep track of how much funding the project I've been investing in.

It ia not simple to develop a project. It costs a lot of time, money and effort. That is why some choose to havan ICO to gather funds and also supporters. The problem is, investors are investing not really to support a project, but to get their profit as soon as the altcoin gets listed. Making it difficult for the project to move on with the their project development.

But that's the whole point of going into ICO's, project needed funds to go on the next levels. They might have good ideas behind, but if there's no backing, it will just die down.


That's why joining bounties is like a gamble, you don't know if the project will even reach softcap so that you will be paid. I'm don't have experienced joining bounties, but for me it doesn't make sense working for so long without the assurance of getting paid. And then what follows is a massive dumping, it's really hard to make money out of them, unless you really invested.

I have seen some projects, they have no ICO and they are doing great your works by their own funds. These tokens have listed on the exchanges, testnet, mainnet even they had the product. That really is good projects. 

From your first statement, the ico developers could manipulate the funds, as if they were funding their own project. Now everywhere fraud, I was confused to choose a good project, mostly filled with garbage.

Do you want to invest in a project that has low investment or no investors? Did you know that maintaining the development team needs a lot of money and specifically that you list it on exchanges also need a certain amount of money?

it is your own choice and I hope you have long-term assets too, because I think, if you are confident and patient then you will get a big profit if you invest right. trading daily makes my eyes tired.
 For op, if ico only reaches the softcap and doesn't reach hardcap, I think they can still continue their project. because they have minimal capital.

Regarding your second item this is a condition to be remembered when you choose some ICO and in choosing this in fact!
much analysis is required to support the period.
So, your first item is already very clear when mentioning that if they have the resources to keep and develop something, then ICO is not necessary.
In fact if they want to raise something, that leaves the community to judge, many projects must be tokens.
But another part is tokens just to get people's money and nothing to do, could simply be coins, allow mining and let the market judge the right price.
If the project is good, good things will happen, simple as that.

I would never have invested startups in the cryptocurrency market because I lost a lot of money in 2018.

Talking about investing in ICO,if dev and team should find their project themselves, then you don't have to invest,but it cannot always be like that because there are some project s that require huge fund.

It's hard for me to say under what conditions I will invest in projects ICO, but at the moment, projects set their own rules, both when conducting an ICO and when conducting a bounty campaign. Most likely, the market for ICO projects will not be the same.

Interesting to see projects that are able to fund themselves without taking part in an ICO. Can you tell me some of these projects?

To start investing in projects, first of all you need to know how reliable he is, whether his team is true, how many sponsors are funded by ISO, and how much income is expected from participation. So I would have boldly invested my money.

Yeah but everything comes with some something. Something is not for nothing.
You have to take the calculated risk.
I have an advice for you look at the Oath protocol project. It is great and have the future potential to grow.
Take closer look to the project and then invest, you will not be dissapointed.

Buying already funded project from an exchange does not protect from scam, alot of people purchased scam bitconnect coin etc from exchanges, This project was on top 100 throughout the time it was listed until detected as scam. Existing projects (5 years more) that wants to adopt blockchain can bring a level of confidence.

Your first reason is kind of contradictory, if they could self funded their projects, they would not be looking for investment from the general public, in other words, you do not even need to invest in the ICO.

In fact, I would not invest in ISO. It is very risky. You can easily get on the scam. Think of it may be better to invest in Bitcoin or another already working cryptocurrency.

I think for people to start investing in ICOs again, this market needs government regulation and investor protection.

Agree with your opinion, becides, there are a lot of companies who launch Airdrop instead of Tokensale.

If a project already have the fund to startup why they would seek investors! Speaking from an investor point of view the Softcap is actually protecting investors money because the Softcap should be an indication of how the minimum amount of mount a certain project needs to launch its product and if there is Softcap set then a project can take investors money and just spent it on a project that they know they will not complete. And as for the bounty hunters, it is time to start taking bounty hunting as a hubby and a side thing, not as the main income and do not really rely on it anymore because even if the market recovered Bounty hunting will never be the same as it was back in 2017 it is over.

Many projects are already doing so. They already have money for the development of their product and conduct ICO and bounty company just to spread information about their project and gather community. I think it's the right thing to do.

The fact of the matter is that those projects that have money for their own development, themselves implement their projects or create at least a working sample.
Thanks to this they can attract much more funds. And as a rule, such projects collect the required amount of investment at the preliminary sales stage.

I will start investing in ICO only if the market completely falls first and it will take some time when prices will start to grow again.

Were you really into investing in ICO before now?
If you are, these won't be your criteria before investing into any coin, because there are projects that still perform well in the crypto space, even on exchange, despite all odds.
Most times, developers or project CEOs first fund projects themselves, but might be looking for initial capital in form of investment, to startup a project.

I think it might be possible to start investing in ICO if I see a good ICO and atif developers in the forums they run, they are responsive and not confused if there is a question.
and for the remainder I will see what concepts they are running for the future and how they will impact. maybe I would be more careful to make my choice towards the ICO

I like the conditions you put forward. However, they are unlikely to find a response from the developers of new projects.
If the team of a new project has money for its implementation, then it is easier for them to implement it and then sell the finished product. So they can make much more money.

I will start investing in ico if I already have the capital and confidence, and enough knowledge. because the investment in ico must be based on research, such as whether the ico product is good, the team is convincing, it has reached the softcap, many members are doing promotions, like that, if all is good I will start investing.

I don't agree with you. If team have enough funds, why they should make an ICO. ICO is a type of collecting funds, maybe you mean that the project must already have softcap before starting ICO?

I personally, will start investing again in crypto if:
- I have found the very interesting projects with the real products to be produced tomorrow in the future.
_ I will really invest if I really know the track record of the team members offering the projects.

I will start investing in a particular ICO if they have successful private sales, so even if they did not reach softcap in their public sales the project will still go on, but of course, the project should be transparent enough on how they held their private sales so people will know what companies invested in their project.

I will invest in ICO if their team provides a guarantee, for example, the funds are returned 100% if the project does not reach the target. it is mandatory for me to ensure that the team works professionally.

now believe in the project? even many ico projects that initially did not have progress at all then made a token of sale in the hope that the funds could be used so the project would run. before making their token sale show their potential by developing and achieving goals before sales, only ico is an additional way for the project to develop

Thank you very much. You have just hit an important point. An ICO should be able to finance their project with the crowdfunding they do through ICOs.

If their project is unique and very promising why not, it is good to invest with these ICO's just do your own research so that you will earn a decent profit.

if you want to invest in Iico I suggest you calculate your profits very mature. because we know that there are many ico tokens that don't reach their ico prices. this will be a bad investment experience for investors if the team does not have the ability to grow the market price of their products.

I believe with the way you think like that will not take you to invest on an ICO at all, like it or not, at this moment it still not easy to get rid of any scammer that occur in crypto world. Also waiting is one of the things that can't be separated in any investment, better it's crypto or another kind of investment.

The market isn't perfectly moving, we are stuck up and it makes investing ICO don't give us assurance for making profit. Not exactly we afraid of losing but isn't that wise to be involve in that matters ended with negatives.  
I experienced  investing ICO before during bull runs and it is good but I just shock when it dumps more than 50% of my investment. So decided to stop now and wait when the market recover.

I think all kind of investment has it's own risk, and crypto is also the same. and it would be depends on us whether dare to take the risk or not.
Just like when we wish to invest on any real world business, if we are afraid about the risk, then we will end up not investing on anything at all.

If they stop depending on investors money and start with their own fund, they do not need to run an ICO. You possibly have no idea what ICO is. It's for the people who have a good idea to build but do not have enough fund to run the idea. They collect fund from the investors. You can also compare this with IPO.

I agree with some of your points. But some of them have an answer already.
If my project is already funded then why the hell would I waste time into making an ICO and waste too much effort that could also risk my project into leaving with different types of people.
I would rather do it myself and my own team.

Not all have reached their hardcap but came successful at the end.
There is a roadmap for the waiting time. As long as they keep up on all of that, then it wont be a problem.

Investing in some ico's nowadays isn't safe because mostly nowadays are scam and sometimes due to the circumstance of the market it became not worth it. If i were you invest on some altcoin rather than ico's to ensure you can make massive profits in the future and to prevent regrets. 

I don't think the current stage is really suitable for investing in ICO projects. Most of the altcoins in the recent period are falling.

With regard to the first statement, everything is correct, they must have their own share capital in order to develop further no matter what. But the second will have to be reconciled, nothing is immediately done, and the risk will still be present.

Your request really doesn't make sense. You forget the real definition of the ICO (Initial Coin Offering). ICO is indeed made for those who do not have the funds to make their project concepts come true. If they already have funds, they do not need to do ICO.

I think you are referring to Cryptocoins projects and not icos.  As ico means initial coin offer.  Project actually need to be fund by the owners and because of this and that is why scammers are taking this advantage to scam people through the initial coins offer.

If the project has strong fundamental values like an proven and needed use-case, very strong team and don't has an ridiculous Hardcap & bonuses.

Well, you could consider your enumeration, no doubt. However, if you actually sum it up, the only consideration here is you are willing to put up and embrace all the risks that are involved in investing in the ICO market. Let me remind you how the market has changed from before. It's so very different now, and difficult at that, that it's not that easy anymore to get big returns. But, I would still say that there are still gems of a project waiting to be polished in the market. If you have the eye to spot them and catch on them while they are rough, there is a high chance for you to get great returns once they rise up.

I agree with you that we should invest in ICO when when they have enough funds to run that project and stop relying on soft cap and hard cap, it seems to be a promising project and attracts many investors .

making ICO is a difficult thing, because in it there will be so many obstacles. if we provide the rules ourselves, then it's pretty good, but in developing a project, there are so many things to consider. Therefore, when you want to invest, make sure that you are really interested in the project. we can even say that we will invest when the project has a high price. however, this is quite difficult now.

Man, it is not that easy to issue tokens immediately.
You know, there might be tokenomics in order provide liquidity for token and ecosystem for people buying and selling tokens!

I'm thinking it is very rare now to profit when you purchase in ICOs because of the dumpers. 95% a project gets dumped by its investors, airdrop and bounty participants when we are talking about the price. Unless if you are looking for a long term investment like 5-10 years then I guess that will be okay. You buy today, forget about it and check back 5 years later. Just make sure you don't miss any important events like swapping of tokens or getting mainnet.

besides, don't you ever wage all your money to invest in ico this is very risky and i know you also understand this, i suggest better invest in altcoin than invest in ico. but the decision is yours, investigate the project and don't use all your money for ico.

It is wrong to put that "IF" in front of your sentence, atleast in my opinion because we all have to admit that even with the severe bear market, Cryptocurrencies has touched our lives in one aspect or another, it is not all roses but you have to admit that the change would happen eventually.

Do investment management well. We must be able to divide the investment amount as well as possible, investing in ICO projects is indeed very risky. Choose an ICO project with a high percentage of possible successes, but actually ICO projects are very difficult to predict. So investing in several ICO projects will make us comfortable in investing.

It seems that if you don’t invest in ICO at all, you don’t have to level them all, because they are different and there are promising ones among them!

If you wanted to join on ICO make sure that project was have long term purposes so we can assure all that project will be succeed in the future of our investment and the potential of the project is very strong. Don't participate on the ICO that had only very beautiful promising.

If I see few months of good volumes on exchanges or see really great ICO I will start to participate ICO again.  

And if the trend continues and the price of altcoins after ICO will still fall, will you still invest in projects again? I think that this trend is already irreversible and we need to somehow change the whole algorithm in order to again attract finance to the projects.

They also promoting other places or country to bought their tokens so it's normal in ICO to referred softcap and hardcap so it will be reach and how money will raised to improve on their project as what they promise to do with the money and the project will do.

You can avoid scammers if you read the whitepaper thorougly if it makes sense and also check the website and the team. If you want something that's sure, just buy those who are listed. Some ICOs are solid and provide something new so for me it's worth the risk, dont invest money you're not willing to lose.

It would be awesome for projects to finance themselves, but that does not guarantee that the project will be successful. I know a handful of projects that started on such note which made cryptocurrency Enthusiasts expectations very high and bounty hunters were working assiduously to ensure that they earn more of the tokens, but after being listed there was any buy order and even cryptocurrency exchange decided to unlist the project because it wasn't meeting up with minimum trading volume.

Well an ICO thats not relying to softcap or hardcap is not an ICO. As the definition says its an Initial Coin Offering and they are doing that to raise funds to continue developing their project. A project that doesnt need to reached either softcap or hardcap is not an ICO and i know some projects now that did not do an ICO but are quite successful.

yes, sometimes reaching hardcap is not enough to guarantee that the project will run smoothly because not all teams can develop the project well even though their capital is large.

sometimes they don't even care about their coins anymore and only focus on developing their projects so sometimes the coins are left without any development.
therefore we must choose ICO which has a responsible developer.

This is what we try currently. We invested our own money to develop a working software / product, that shall later run on certain token. I think, to be taken more seriously, developers of ICOs should stop making airdrop, 50% bonus programs and answering all the "when will you reach moon?" questions. Sustainability can only be reached if you think in the long-run. The lessons learned from the last couple of years are now put into an own project.

Why would you invest if they can rely on their own? Why would they need you in some ways? Have you ever think of that? I guess they need you so they have capping.

If they are being regulated in some legal way then it will increase confidence of investor. Ni matter whether it will lost huge or low. Moreover the sragen where crypto stand today the manager will have to invest their one fund and then invite publik only when project is in growing stage

I see that softcap, hardcap story as a way to even scam people more these days. Most of these ICO projects fake reaching their softcap or hardcap.

If the project is extraordinary with a strong team and large reserves for quality marketing, as well as in the course of pre-sales was collected Softcap and the project does not have a bounty campaign.
p.s. If the project has a bounty campaign, I will wait for the listing and buy the tokens from the bounty participants 10 times cheaper.

If they had enough funds, there's probably not going to be an ICO for you to invest in.
So you could say if they have maybe, half the funds required. Anyways investing in IcOs requires a level of risk so everyone can decide

For OP are you know what is ICO?? If they start from their own funds that's not ICO. They don't need to do it. The purpose of ico is absolutely raise funds, to help the project developt. If about scam, that's why we must do reseach first, also people not fools, they are not easily influenced. Also this forum help us to choose right ICO

The crypto is down. The ICO is failed. Those two are the worst things that we always face this day. We know that the crypto is always surprising. Related to the investment in ICO, I will only invest in ICO if the project really offers the real product i the future, have reached the softcap, and also offer the real time that can be checked from their social media.

This is contradictory... if they have the funds... then they'll be no need for an ico in the first place to kick start a project... ...

Just like bittorrent and endchain which have already gained a lot of popularity among the users. Bittorrent has already become our example about how the project that can get a lot of trust from the investors can attract a lot of demands and raised a lot of money.

Now investing in ICO projects is very risky and we can see that throughout 2018 many ICOs failed. Of course, this is of concern to all investors and bounty hunters. But if you want to continue investing, of course, you have to do research.

But check some of the failed projects. Even a nice whitepaper does not help if it is a well prepared scam. I am wondering what kind of research indicators are needed. There needs to be a way to idenitfy persons. Stellar for example introduced the so called Stellar.toml file, that should set some trust in projects https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/concepts/stellar-toml.html (https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/concepts/stellar-toml.html).

1) They will not held an ICO if they have the budget for their product. ICOs are for those projects that never had budget to pursue what they are doing and mostly it's really a haven for scammers nowadays.
2) It's part of their strategy to let everyone wait for a long time.

Well ICO is important as the can raise funds but yes if they can still go ahead in developing the project without fully depending on the investors money then it would be great. I have seen a project that went ahead to develop its project even when not reaching even half of its funding.

It is quite possible that it will turn out that you will not soon invest in ICO, or maybe even never!

there are many projects that has no ico to developt their projects.actually its depend on developers team back ground.usually high quality ico didnt depend on investors fund.

If they invest theyr own money then there is no need for ICO :) I think there is alot of projects where devs invest themselves , even life savings , but its not enough . There is few projects out there that was sucesfull , but remember that like 80-90% of the projects will sooner or later die , because there is no use case for them .

The first point just contradicts the very essence of ICO. First of all, you need to look at the amount (hardcap) that the project wants to collect. If it is too high, or vice versa is very small, this should raise suspicion.

based on sales alone it's not enough I guess. because the nominal achievement is made for the needs of the platform. if the number requested is not realistic it could be a scam. but until now what I have done is to assess the team and the concept of the project.

If developers can afford funds, there is no need for them to come to the crypto market to source for fund, I feel government involvement through regulation and policy formulation can help reduce the scammers in the space and also increase the cryptocurrency market trend.
Cryptocurrency platform is not a get rich quick platform, you must be ready to wait to earn.

Of course, if the project has its own product, which it successfully develops, then I am sure that everything else will be wonderful. Just today there are real problems with this. therefore, many investors simply do not invest.

Icos need investors in order to exist because if no one invest in them they are nothing. They need investors in order to survive and in order to live. Icos rely so much in investors. Icos also need time to devolop amd to grow.

when there will be a general growth of the market and on this wave it will be possible to invest

Well maybe some of your point might be right but do you think there will be ICO in the first instance if they have enough money to work with the project. The reason why many project startup run ICO is to find enthusiast investors that will be the earlier adopter of their project. I support having some capital to be used for development and further support it by launching ICO but it all determine about risk. Many of this project do not know maybe they will be successful with the proposal and they do not want to risk their money. That is the reason why they always rely on investors money.

if you want to start investing in ICO again it seems likely you should be able to choose ico which can give you profits and at least the capital you use can grow, and the most important thing is that you should be able to avoid project scams that will threaten your assets.

Remember that ICO always give you loss except you have make sure that your ICO target and able to achieve your goal as investment.
Personally I better trade on bitcoin rather than ICO because I've seen most of my friend experience losses on them.

The chance of winning is like 1:100

If you don't invest in ICO then you won't have to bother doing nonsense post. Launching an ICO surely needs funds but it does not mean they are going to get those funds in their own wallet. Also they are crowdfunding their project to see that investors really are patronizing it and in that method they will know their project will be a success or not.

Nowadays it's very hard to choose right ICO project to invest, if know team or funders of project maybe it worth to invest.
I'm chosen ICO (DexAge) on the recommendation of friends

I will also invest in ICO if only the market has started to recover because the market conditions greatly affect the ICO which will be more likely for us to succeed in investing in the ICO.

The harsh reality now is that people do not invest in ICO because instead of profit they get losses. It is much more profitable to pick up coins at the bottom after listing coins. So I will start investing in ICO if the situation changes radically))

If company already has money for MVP its good but i dont think you need look at all ICO es like scamers ,yep we have problem when many ICO es set sofcap 5 mln and we all now its very dificult to rise but when you say no matter which idea you has if you havnt money then dont start, dont you think with this way we would be in 19th century (i mean technology).

Then if you investing for like that, you should invest on non ICO Project. you want the project have a self funded for their project right. Example like X-cash he non ICO Project have a self funded 100k$.

I like your thinking, indeed if the developer has at least the funds for the initial development, I think they think too much about softcaps or hardcaps. so no matter how much money they get they will still run the project. so there is no longer a very long and extended ico.

they always think of achieving their project targets, after that they always don't care for the next development when the target softcap or hardcap is reached I mean this is only a team that is not serious. in fact, the team should be very concerned about the project they manage and the next stage of development when it's already on the stock exchange.

I think that if you want to invest in new projects, then you better wait for the project to appear on the exchange. You can see how far the project started. And if the project develops successfully and the market situation is good now you can buy tokens of this project.

I will invest ICO if I have a lot of capital because capital is the most important thing to be able to participate. I invest in ICO if the product offer is attractive and has a prominent advantage.

What I have come to realize is that bounty managers have become more greedy than any person in the cryptospace. They are the very people that advise the devs to wait for months, reduce the bounty pool and many others. A typical example is Dominium that changed to maxcrowdfund. The bounty manager advised the founders to reduce the bounty pool just because the bounty hunters will dump the price. Why will he do that? This is because his pool isn't reduced and by so doing, the bounty hunters get few tokens and he gets a better profit from it.
Let's not blame the founders only because the BMs are the cause of all these that are happening. I have stopped investing in ICOs of late because they don't d what they say and I don't want to lose the little money that I have. For the past 6 months, all ICOs that list on an exchange sell below ICO price so no need to buy in ICO time.

Do you understand that your proposals are difficult to implement? New projects are being carried out by ICO to raise money for development. If the new project has its own money for the project, they will make a sample of the working product and find a large investor. In this case, they will not need to carry out ICO.
IMHO

I have quite successfully invested in only two projects. But there are probably not even technical analysis, and intuition. Just something told me that the projects would be successful. With Smartholdrem and AION and it turned out .

I do not really know if projects that are lunched these days and they do not sell any ICO, still do well like what we had in the past. Although there are quite a good number of them that are good points to reckon with in the crypto space.
Most times, such project has to go for a for of promotion, such as bounty or airdrop, to create awareness for the project.

today investing in ico is very dangerous because after crowdsale price goes much lower than ico

Investment in ICOs carries a certain level of risks and losses. It requires preparation, knowledge, diligence, discipline, focus, and a thorough research. These are the qualities I need to consider when engaging in the field of investment. I think in this way, it can help us to be guided accordingly, be calibrated, and be decisive. It can also be helpful if we continue to explore and learn for more creative ideas.

I believe that start-ups are hungry to give guarantees that they will enter the market in the future because otherwise investors will simply not invest their money because they will understand that they will be lost.

the team needs funding for the development of the project, the problem is now many ICOs fail to reach softcap or hardcap because investors are getting smarter in choosing good projects, I prefer to raise tokens in fundraising in exchange so they can avoid fraudulent processes.

On the other hand, bounty hunters are getting paid for advertising their project through signatures. I don't think the team can do it all along without funding their project through the investor's money. It may be a win-win idea only if succeeded and the team pays the consensus, but it is too difficult to trust these days. That's why investors are making a wiser move to stop these kinds of activities that making some good ICO project to look dirty.

I will start investing my money in ICOs if the project back up by reputable company and having working product. Many scam ICOs last year and i think we should make research first before making investment in ICOs

I will start investing in ico if there is an ico with a clear purpose and the team involved is competent people, considering last year there were a lot of ico that were scam or stuck in the middle of the road, so if you would invest in ico you should be able to analyze an ico ongoing so we don't get caught in the wrong ico

IMO, I think the ICO river has dried up already. No new concept coming in.

For now, better research on the very good projects that you missed in the ICO boom of 2017-2018.
Some of these project have not even began trading their tokens, and if they are really good, wait for them to be market tradeable and buy some.

there are so many ico that will make it difficult for you to judge whether the ICO is scam or not, and maybe I will invest in ICO when it is softcap and certainly must have a clear team and can have some linkedin for the team and have github that has lots of commits and certainly looking for a team that is easy to contact.

if fraud is reduced or there is no more fraud, more people will invest in the ICO. if the project can run well and function properly so that it makes it easier for people who want to produce from the ICO. of course researching, correcting which one is good for investing, if it is in accordance with the criteria then do it.

The ICO market is not doing good at all at this moment. People are not interested in ICOs, because they are not profitable in anyways! All ICOs are almost the same! They raised some big goal to attract investors and when they get enough money, they list coins on exchanges. After that their all big goal, the mission will be stopped for so-called product development! I don't think a project needs millions of dollars to start! Rather almost every ICOs are like scamming people's money right now. So, I am to agree that, Your point of view is very clear and rightful here!

in this situation also we have a chance to invest will be the right time to make investment for our future and the all of the currency investments are always very low in this situation so if you buy a currency at the moment you can be definitely did the profit in the future.

If there is a good and potentially ico in the future, of course I will invest in ico, indeed now it is difficult to get good and correct ico, but I am sure there are still ico who have good potential and from here we can analyze or search for good ico so that not trapped in ico who is a scam

I will start investing in ICO if market already have significant price action moving, meaning down trend finish. Whatever ICO project will fails is market condition is red and maybe their coins will never listing on exchanges. See the field and understand the reality, not easy but do that before enter. I will not stop you, your opinion is right but replace it on the right time, please.

You can start investing at any time most specially if you know the most trusted manager that handled and handling some of the good ICOs. Trusted manager won't permit to destroy their name's integrity. Their name is their personality so they would not accept scam ICOs and they wouldn't accept ICOs without 100% assurance of legitimacy of the project. This is my opinion. Well, at the end your choice will matter not others opinion.

That is the general situation of ICO, creating an excellent whitepaper with a new product to attract curiosity and investment from investors. And then of course they will not do anything after completion, most of them will escape or develop very slowly. These actions killed the ICO market today

I will start investing in ICO f the market condition improve and there is a long series of a bull run, on our last bull run, even those projects that are considered as shitcoins are getting volumes and people are buying them, now even if the project is good it cannot keep up because of the market situation.

market sentiment give serious influenced to cryptocurrency price.most of them prefer saving their money till ETF approved.and there is no more speculation about it.if this fundamental already clear maybe investors dare to come back.

Green market, as we know that the thing that makes investors hesitate to place their money is the number of scam projects that make market red, of course it is very risky to place money on the ICO which is never clearly.

You should start investing no matter what the reason is as long as you are happy and it ensures that you can gain profit out from it in the future of your investment career. That's what matter

If you want to invest in an ICO, then your second reason is void because you can always invest at the tail end of the ICO like maybe the last day, that way you wouldn't have to wait any additional time anymore.

Today it is too difficult to choose the right ICO because every ICO is not in a good position especially if the ICO were listed on the market. Almost all of the ICO doesn't have a good price, and even the price is still lower than the ICO price. I don't want to advise to invest in the ICO right now, and I will suggest investing in the bitcoin or the altcoin only. Although we can found one project which looks good, it doesn't guarantee to see the project can continue in the bearish market because they need to reschedule their project until the market can recover.

ICO in this business can give an opportunity and can also give us a lesson if we choose a wrong project. So I there for conclude, since that we are experiencing bear market were most of the ico project also are turn scam in the end of the project, we need to be careful in choosing ico project. But my suggestion or tips instead of investing in the ico, I think it is much better to buy coins in the exchange that are belongs to top 10  altcoins, at least there's a high chances you can get a big profit in the end.

You say everything is true, but most likely no one will follow your idea. Yes, and many of the following examples, like to some extent. Why do you like them? Because they continue to take part further.

I agree with your statement. There are projects that do not hold any fees. And an order of magnitude more successful. Why Because at first they developed a product and gave a turnkey solution for the market. But they did not raise money and disappeared.

I will start to invest in ICO If

1) Market became mature, where alot project creator stop dreaming and making unrealistic milestones that couldn't be accomplish at all
2) When people start to buy crypto to use instead of just treating it as an investment

2017 a [roject called NIMFA TOKEN launched their ICO but suddenly they did not reach the soft cap.
I thought the project will end there but i was wrong. THE CEO continue the project and burned all the unsold tokens leaving the total supply to 2MM NIMFA.
The ICO price was 5USD and the token price starts in the market at 0.06 USD. Another failure for the project token.
But after 2 months and the team launch their platform the token went to an ATH of 20USD per token.

Oh, with the title, it would seem to reader that you are some very important person. Anyway, who cares if you invest or not,  ICO companies do not rely on you.

I really agree with your opinion number 1, I met an ICO project that has been running without relying on the sales revenue of the Token. And that was indeed very successful, only lacking extensive marketing. I am sure that such a project must be good and clearly rare.

Such kind of projects are worth to be trusted and also most of the investors are always in search of such projects. ROI is quite quick in such projects and also investors find them more trustworthy. such projects do not do much on their marketing and focus on the growth of the project indeed so they always have a good future but less investors.

In my case, I guess I will start investing in an ICO if I can see some great ICO also if the market is going well, not with this kind of condition at the moment where market seems to fall further.

Now investing in ICO is still very risky, although there are still many good ICO projects. I think your idea is good, but it's very difficult to find an ICO project like that. For now, stay patient and wait for the market to pump again.

I think STO is very suitable for you, it has many criteria that make an investor as you want. However, in my opinion, the STOs are only for investors with large amounts, it is not like ICO when you can invest with a minimum amount of 0.1 or 0.5 ETH.

The answer on number one is a good idea. They shouldn't fully rely on the investor on their project term. They should have enough fund to make startup on their project. Hopefully this can be done.

Man, some founders don't have enough money for personal funding. At the same time their idea is outstanding, so why don't you invest in their technology?

Self funding of blockchain  project is a good idea, but most of the funders don't have the funds to finance those projects. This sent of people have a great idea that can contribute to the growth of blockchain technology and be of benefits to all enthusiasts here in the cryptosystem.
I think the STO project will be of more benefit to investors and less risk compare to ICO which is the new way of raising funds this days.

At present, investing in some kind of ICO since its inception is somewhat unwise. And so it remains to expect interesting coins on the stock exchange or market recovery.

I think that today, in order to start the investment process all the same, you need to try to work very hard on the idea itself. Your idea should solve the serious problems of our future. The future of humanity. Today there are a lot of such problems.

Investors will start investing if the icos will be good as the cryptocurrency market is recovering. and investors will going to put there investments on ico if it legit and they assure to earn money or to double there investments. investors are still here in cryptocurrency and they are just waiting to market become strong.

I am intrigued through the way some ICOs now raise their funds, without total reliance on retail investors.
It is also good to do enough marketing before the start of an ICO and get partners that are ready to invest before lunching the main ICO.

I think you should be able to understand in advance why the project held an ICO. I think it's clear that the purpose of the ICO is to raise funds to be able to run the project and also held the ICO to promote and introduce their projects to Investors. so if I have to wait for a long time the participants are reasonable because that is indeed the stage of the ICO.

The first point is not going to happen, these projects do not have a fund of their own, they will not shelve out with their own money for a project that is not sure will make a big hit in the market, this is why it's called ICO no raise fund no platform.

If you have between $50 to $100, you can still invest in STO, which means that it is an amount that retail investors can also afford.
That aside, a good research can also get you a unique ICO.
Do not be in a haste, take your time to do your research.

A very sore subject for the crypto community at the moment, as many projects are implemented on the means of ico. But lately, fewer and fewer investors want to participate in them, and for the problems of recoupment of their assets, and this need to be addressed.

From experience, I can say that most of the ICOs are the same, the main difference is that some projects are more popular than others. What does it mean? This means that in a bear market, only those who invest in ICO accompanied by a strong hyip can rely on profit, and you all do not exactly get 100% guarantee, but this is the best possible.

I doubt if they spent their own money to launch their own projects, we have seen hundreds of projects that became useless after only several months of launching it, and they know that it can happen to their project and so they want to use other's people money to gamble on their project.

its very rare to find projects that have own fund before starting projects.most of developers team always use ico to collect investor's money to cost their operational.as long as i am joining in this market, i never find this kind projects.personally as investors or business start up i am prefer to build my real busineess.

I have really witnessed a lot of cancelled projects that used the hardcap and softcap as an excuse. Some usually refund their investors though, while some will disappear, who keep the project pending almost forever.

ICO projects have become a part of our life and this is not going anywhere. Investing in a ordinary online business, as well as in offline business, is also associated with high risks. The company may go broke or go bankrupt, and the money invested in will burn. The same risks are borne by ICO projects. But in ICO projects there is an opportunity to increase your capital decently, which no offline company can give.

That is why it is important to work with ICO only in the bull market, when the attention to the crypto currency is maximum and it is easy to choose projects that everyone is talking about, it is almost a guarantee of profit, and in such a market as now a scanty chance to earn something

unfortunately not all ico projects can do that even the opposite, lately a lot of ico have stopped and ended with this fraud makes me hesitate to invest in ico, unless the market is really supportive and ico is worth it again maybe i will invest on ico again. for now it's better to invest in altcoin or trade.

About your opinion, I think it's true. But looking for a project that you want is certainly not easy. But for 2019 I think it's very good to invest in ICO. Many are now good ICO projects and they also have real products.

Your explanation in no.2 was not a character of an individual investor, it is actually a behavior of a bounty hunter actually.
The true attitude of an investors first was they are risk taker, in short they are willing to loss their capital/money if they want to
buy token/coins in every ico. In fact they're not actually looking unto it instead they are looking on the good side result of the ico project
which they are going to get in to.

I will start investing in ICO if it is listed on Binance launchpad :D Damn, I missed the first 2 ico, but I'm not gonna miss the next one. Participants in the last Ico increased their money 5 times.

I like ICO projects with private investors and private funds ,it shows how capable the project is for example bluenote,I look very well before choosing any ICO projects this days

It seems you're a kind of investors finances were tight. You should stay away in crypto for a while and come back when you're ready the risk you will take where you have enough funds to play in the market or invest in any ICO. Regarding on what you're looking for, its seem extraordinary and impossible, if there's any I try it too.

Investing in ICO has a big risk, many things happen throughout 2018. There are a lot of failures in ICO projects and some of them end in SCAM. Investing in ICO is not always detrimental because if we are smart to choose, it is likely that we can make a profit. So analysis is something that must be done when we will invest in the ICO project. Do not make the wrong decision because it will only make us experience a terrible loss.

Invest when you believe in a PROJECT ICO and you have to be absolutely sure !!!

can not guarantee 100% investment in all ico will make a big profit , only a few ico make a big profit , without any skill in ico I suggest not to invest in ICO because it's too risky

The projects organizing ICO because of the they are not find enough funds by the themself. That's why they are organizing the ICO for the find fund. Therefore, if the project has enough resources, why they need the ICO. There are already many projects in this way. And none of these projects have launched the ICO. Because they don't need a fund.

Investing to any ICO is really hard to find a better one that can grow our investments and their projects in the future. But still taking the risk of investing is the also the key to know if you have the right decisions in choosing it and in your list of reasons in investing I think you might take more time and luck into it.

If in the near future they introduce KYC for developers and they will eventually publish the data of people who will still publish data on the basis of the ICO. So that people can take and write a statement on them, then of course. I think that they can really do it and I will invest.

I myself have invested in some ICo such as Beetoken, Dock. Then the projects have been successful but the price has dropped a lot compared to when they call investors' capital. ICo projects do not have people to manage capital when the market decreases, they have to sell the capital to pay employees.

I don't think there will be many ICOs who can fund their own projects because they make ICO aim to get funds so they can run their projects.
but what was sad was that they used the reason they did not have enough funds to start so the project failed.

So you don't want invest in ICO, here is suggestion for you, wait until ICO ends, wait a little more longer until full product is launched and then go to exchange and invest in their tokens. It is less risky to invest later but keep in mind that it is still risky. I have seen projects disappearing and screwing investors after everything was going good.

I have to agree with you on this. Project owners need to prove that they are serious by at least having their projects functional already to an extent. That way its easier to support by putting money on them for expansion and further developments. Not whitepaper projects that do not even have an office yet seeking funds via ICO.

I really agree with you on this, a lot of projects just come with crazy ideas just to collect money from the public and not deliver. I think it is high time that the team starts running the projects with their money and when the community can see the traces of their success, then they can raise a public sale where we would be able to support them more. Or better still build the project to the success then launch their coins on the exchange for the community to get.

Your idea will help the ICO and will also boost the project alot, many investor are scared to put their money on any project because they don't know the level of success the project will become in future. But if measures are put in place, and all money to start the project is ready, i think this will definitely attractive to the public for investment.

Your idea seems very honest and ICO project should be like this. But most of them are came to earn money for their own pocket. I don't believe any products, they write a whitepaper with high quality looking then raise millions of money and if the project becomes hit they list their coins on exchange and then what? one year, two years keep passing but no products except some announcements and listing. Most of the ICO projects are doing the same, no products or no real use. Most of the successful ICO projects are live on thousands of Lies! Even my friends told me to bring an ICO like this as we have enough experienced, I replied to them I am not a scammer!

I think that the market situation is very unstable. Therefore, I prefer to buy coins after listing on the stock exchange and after several months have passed after the start of trading.

Investing in ICO is difficult because most of them did not succeed and others turn to scam. You need to study very well and find the good ICO if you want to invest.

I think that even if these conditions were fulfilled, it would not have changed a significant role and there would still be quite a lot of fraudulent ICOS and projects that would throw bounty hunters.

Now I am ready to invest in ICO, which take place on the Binance platform. Many investors want to invest their money in those projects. At the same time projects are immediately added to the exchange Binance.

Previously, there were very many people fighting to invest in binance launchpad with extraordinary projects. But everyone can't invest there because so many people want to invest there. So I think the ICO project in this forum is still good.

I will start investing in ICO if the price immediately after ICO stops falling. And even listing on the stock exchange does not help to rectify the situation in a coordinated way. This is very discouraging because there is no point in investing at the ICO stage if you can buy the same coin after listing on the exchange for a much lower price.

They did the token sale because they lacked funds, and did ad marketing like a bounty so that many investors saw and put their money in their projects, this was only the advertising side. Then if you hate waiting then don't wait because I'm sure there are many other things that can bring benefits, you know wise people say that "people won't succeed if you always wait" .
I will invest in ICO again if other investors' interests and ICO confidence start to increase and the market is bullish, in my opinion a significant decline in ICO growth starts from a bearish market and does not generate large profits if invested there.

Start investing in the ICO if market conditions increase. Now it is risky to invest in ICO, there are many ICO frauds. And this will make many people disappointed because they lose money. And as you say it's true but we are looking for a project like that is very difficult.

too much imitation of ico, but it does not rule out the possibility that if we can see good ico it can be beneficial for us. keep watching and researching ico, who knows we can get really good ico.

Now I am trying to invest only in ICO, which take place on the Binance launchpad, I did not get into Bittorrent, but I managed to invest in Fetch and get the long-awaited ROI x5 in this market. I will try to participate in the next ICO on this platform.

BitTorrent is a good variant I guess https://cmc.io/coins/bittorrent
As for me, I invested in Thrive ICO https://cmc.io/coins/thrive-token

wow this is a very good opinion, if only there are rules that bind ICO in the future, like there is a platform that ensures that an ICO project team is truly a professional team not just to make a garbage project.

What makes Binance's launchpod so great? I've seen ICO has been sold in the matter of seconds only because it was on Binance, they could sell air and investors will buy air because Binance told them it would be good to buy some air.

A team that can fund its own operations without an ICO is highly unlikely to pay overpaid bounty hunters. As for your first point, plenty of working and profitable businesses have done theirs, Satoshi Dice will probably do theirs next.

Yeah I agree. There is still hope for ICO's to clean it's current reputation which is pretty bad in the eye of investors though not all of them but majority are scammy projects. Crypto revolution is really coming and that is what we are waiting for. I will start investing in ICO if they will undergo government regulations. It is unfair if they are just going to go with their decissions and declare failure, security breached and any alibi's that could possibly left bounty hunters and investors loss their money, time and effort.

Many people have successfully participated in the ICO. And not a few people are affected by the ICO scam. So be wise in choosing ICO, so you can avoid scams that can harm you.

I will start investing again to ICO if they have more ICO again are legit. But Im still not investing to ICo because I still see a lot of ICO is scam and not good to invest. More ICO for sure will coming this year 2019 but for sure there is more ICO are still scam better to be careful.  I think they have a lot of invetors are still scared to invest and they leave ICO already. ICO makes us rich and makes us also to become poor.

So many people have affected by scam ICOs and this number grows every day. Successful projects already listed their token/coin in exchange and both investors vs bounty hunters are paid.

If there are companies that guarantee or regulate the ICO project so that investors feel safe if at any time the ICO will scam or the project is no longer running.

If I want to invest in an ICO that is backed by a company, before searching and investigating the team, I would investigate the company. If I see that you have a good record, my decision would be almost complete, the rest, I research everything about your equipment and the technical document, I think it would be enough in many projects that do not have support.

It is safer to invest in ICO if the company already exists and develops quickly. And also in cases where there is successful experience in the past or recommendations of partners on those products that are already successfully traded on the stock exchange.

if indeed you dare to take the risks that occur at this time. yes you should just do it. but if you are not ready to take the risk at this time it is better not to do it. because all the things we do need to be measured by our abilities.

That's not going to happen, they do not want to gamble with their own money and they are going to use investor's funds to realize their project if they really have a project to boast, if there is a project like that people are going to invest if they are going to use their own funds.

I will invest only if the situation with cryptocurrencies changes and the fundraising services verify and publish the data of developers who are now trying to create their own projects.

I will start investing ICO if that ICO is backed up by a very great team and they project and token has a use case. I don't want to waste money on some ICO that don't have a plan in the future.

Investors will go through it if some legit and good ico will released,because icos now are not good specially the situation of cryptocurrency is not good at all.even if the situation of cryptocurrency is not good if the icos are good and reliable sources of money investors will invest.
