Title: Investing in ICOs... is it possible to profit?
Post by: couture on July 18, 2017, 02:56:59 PM
After reading about ICO investment I got all excited about popping a few quid here and there into some good looking ICOs and then turning nice, Porsche buying profits in a few months time...


After reading this read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1530158.0 I was feeling less sure...


Is it really possible to come out on top with ICO investment? And if so.. how!?'

Or am I just delusional and being drawn in by the nectar of the ICO Venus fly trap...?

XRL tokens from Rialto.ai made +70% in two days from 0,1USD to 0,17USD. ICO is over and tokens are not officially traded on exchange but there is market (volume is 140,000 USD/day circa) on decentralized Etherdelta
so yes, it is possible

Ofcourse it's possible, take for example ethereum, stratis, IOTA, EOS. All of these are in profit.

Its very much possible only if you do it right with proper understanding because not every one with great team or nice precedence will turn out well like the coindash recently and also wish luck is on your side. If there is no way to make profit, there wont be any ICOs coming out every now and then because no one will invest them. The bottom line is that anything you want to put money, be sure to do it intelligently.

It can be super profitable, but don´t expect quick money. The profits you will make from believe in the project and hold longterm. 

If you do your homework on ICO´s , it will be good to pick only some that you 100% believe in .

Possible but you have to research the right ones to do it with. The majority of ICOs are more or less scam projects with no value.

I see many people are attacking ICOs now a days, every person has his own point of view, but for me, I like to invest as long they make profit for me. Always there are losers and winners, no doubt losers will not be satisfied.

Most ICOs will either fail, run, or just downright die after. I would say that only 10% of all ICOs will succeed in the long run. Just choose them wisely. Examine them and see if they have a real world application in this world. Don't fall for those stupid ICOs/coins that creates stupid things like CONCOINS (the convict's coin, like what the fuck were they thinking?). Check also the devs of the project. Some will looking legit AF, but they'll probably run.

Yes it is very possible to make money through ICO investment. I am a personal testimonies to ICO profit I make money through Ico investment the last one I sold is silvercoin of which I make some good return. If you desire a good return on ICO then you need to study which one is reliable and invest in them for heavy profit.

If you do thorough understanding and deep studying before investing in ICOs, you can actually make profit. Make sure you understand them and make your own decision.

Yes but you should carefully investigate the “sale agreement”, the main legal document between the investor and the company, launching ICO. Then ask about business reputation of people who stand behind ICO data, whether they have been working for a long time in the relevant sphere of activity, does their reputation carry any dark spots, for example, organisations of projects that constantly get users’ poor reviews. Besides, the existence of registration, escrow-account, technical correctness of “white paper” provided by the company which launches ICO are also important. The existence of ready-made well-functioning prototype (a program or a device) also creates a good impression

Yes, very yes and very possible to get profit from investing in ICOs but you must smart to look and research about that ICO before you starting invest on that ICO. For an example SNC token, in the first the price is around 0.00008 eth per coin but in the last 3 days the price increased so hard up to 0.0005+ ETH per coin and imo the price is already through the ico price.

yes sure that they are one of the most easiest ways to make a high profit from a coin. But if you wanna invest in those kinds of projects, you might me careful because a lot of them are scam, they just launch, wait for the ICO stage ends and run away with your money.
So better to do a good research and look for a good dev and a nice community

We are seeing all these ICOs doing 5, 10, 20x, but I wonder if all those people decided to cash out... I think there is not even enough liquidity for all of them.

Yes, there is profit in joining ICOs but they are not guaranteed. Also, you have to make sure the ICO you are joining is really worth it and the team really sticking to their roadmap and vision even if the ICO is already over.

You should hold your ICO tokens for a while since the actualization of their projects will take 2-3 months to really hit the road. But it will be profitable in case it proves to be good project. Look at ADX right now, those who joined the ICO must have already made a huge income.
