THX :D

Think of them as IPOs, but the founders raise money using popular cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, litecoin and most popularly, Ethereum, instead of fiat currencies. In return for your investment, you get the ICO's proprietary cryptocurrency. The investments work pretty much like shares, which in most cases don't have voting rights. As the company grows, the value of your crypto grows. You can either hold or cash out for fiat or other mainstream cryptocurrencies. But try to be careful with them, like 90% of them are nothing more than a money grab, good luck  :)

in it's vast majority it is a scam
very few of the ICOs out there are not pyramid schemes

An unregulated means by which funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks.

Thank you very much. You are very helpful to me in understanding about ICO

No, no. An ICO is like ice fishing... a hole in the ice... and Icy "O."

 ;D

ICO means Initial Coin Offering. The purpose of ICO is to introduce a new coin to the market and advertise them for people to invest on.

Common feelings experienced by investors after an ICO include FOMO and HODL

It means initial coin offering, where token are sold for an initial fee with a discount.

Hello, I have already answered this question before, on this, I will talk about this again:

"In a nutshell, this is the initial placement of coins. The bottom line is that there is a company that wants to launch its own crypto-currency, which will be responsible for a certain task. But to launch the development, it is necessary to raise funds, basically this is the sum of the most popular crypto-currencies, such as ether or bitcoin, which the contributors list. In exchange, the company gives its coins, or tokens, which can then be exchanged for other crypto-currencies. That is, it is a kind of crowd-funding and bonds at the same time.
More about it you can see here ICO investment (https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/how-to-launch-an-ico--simple-explanation-of-its-principles-and-campaign-examples)."

For me it is sublobar with investors!The purpose of which is to promote the idea and get in a larger company all over the world.But of all the ICO are moving a maximum of 10% and that's very sad

Is there and ICO generating program that doesn't require any deep programming. What I mean is a program that a "layman" can use to simply create a new ICO any time he wants, or all day if he wants.

Why ask this?

If we created a new ICO for everything that we owned, or at least for all the various categories of things - an ICO for cars, one for computers, on for shirts, one for shoes, one for land - we could get away from using fiat altogether.

Or how about an ICO that produces value comparisons between every product or service out there? One refrigerator is worth 10 kitchen sinks. One car is worth a refrigerator, twenty kitchen sinks, and a Bitcoin.

We have this to some extent, right now. But it is based on dollar comparisons. Consider Priceline for travel. Or any other Internet website that compares the prices of products, so that you can find the lowest cost, the best deal. Make this a trading ICO for every item or service, and suddenly there is no more need for fiat at all.

8)

Or how about an ICO of ICOs. It would include a robot that roams the Internet finding new blockchains. Then it values each of them based on volume traded. It could include currencies, as well. And it might even allow for trading all of them automatically, thereby doing away with most of the exchanges. The measure of its value would be based on how much it is used to do all kinds of trading.

ICO means Initial Coin Offering  ;D

An Initial Coin Offering, also commonly referred to as an ICO, is a fundraising mechanism in which new projects sell their underlying crypto tokens in exchange for bitcoin and ether. It's somewhat similar to an Initial Public Offering ( IPO ) in which investors purchase shares of a company.

It was yet another initial coin offering (ICO), a new method of raising funding that has exploded in popularity for businesses in the cryptocurrency space.

thanks to everyone on this topic I so know what is ICO.

It is a vehicle to gather funds for a project to do with a new cryptocurrency a company is planning to offer to the public.
It works sort of like what an IPO does for a new asset on the stock market for a company that is publically released.

Initial Coin Offering has become the mainstream way of raising money for a crypto project. It is an event in which a new cryptocurrency project is introduced. Early adopters and enthusiasts are allowed to invest money into the project in exchange for some of the cryptocurrency tokens. The invested money can be used by the project to cover early expenses like developing the product, marketing, legal, etc. ICOs are highly attractive for investors because the potential reward can be multiple times higher as the token’s price increases during the ICO. ICOs have the ability to deliver quick returns. On the other hand, this is a dangerous game. A quick profit can turn into a big loss. There is no guarantee of success. Best advice for investing is: never invest money you can’t afford to lose.

It is a crowd fund raising for an upcoming project of an ICO company. You will get their coin/token at a cheaper price during this period.

There are also many similarities between the IPO (initial public offering) and ICO.

Their real value remains uncertain until the project is released to the exchange.
