Do you often buy into ICO's? If yes, what is your experiences, is it easy, how fast can you cash out etc?

I havent invested in any ICO's at the moment but im seriously considering 2 or 3 as of now.

I've liked the way trade.io so far, it looks like a very well planned ICO, and i've seen the Telegram group of TradeToken and the support team is doing a fantastic job in answering all the community questions.

I have been investing in Ico and I have help my friend to also invest in it but it has never yield good return for me and I got a bit disappointed. If you know the right time to sell it is good especially if you are a new investors but if you have not been playing in this market you should ask for alot of guidance before putting your hard earned into scam project. I invested into creamcoin, jds,  and dent token but I got disappointed because of the way  there price is going. I think the right time to sell any project is the first time there listed on exchanges platforms.

Most ICOs are risky. I invest only in case the project has a clear roadmap and team of true professionals. Otherwise it's waste of money.

following several ICOs is fine, usualy some investor sell their token as fast as they can make profit. but i wait a little longer and see the future of that token

It always very risky, so you should choose only by your own. I prefer IOT and Finance ICOs as the most profitable ones. The time to cash out could reach up to several months. It fully depends on the price behaviour and your aim.

If you are a professional in crypto stuff, it's pretty easy to find a good ICO. But if not, it's crucial to investigate and read as much information as possible and write down all the important aspects, positive and negative, before making an investment decision.
ICO will become more and more "mainstream" as a method of fundraising. There will be plenty of projects to choose from, so it will become even harder to evaluate these projects.

The top ICO for me are AppCoins an Wala. You should make a good research to decide what is the best invest for you.

True, most ICO is risky, look at the person behind them, make sure it's real. also look at company who backed up the ICO.

In the past yeah I bought into quite a few but it seems like overall risky and a waste of time. Nowadays you need to be selective with your choice but in the past you could get into most and have a good chance at flipping now its not the case. My experience was okay but I would be more selective is all cashing out is okay too nothing terrible hard just not profitable always.

Yes, ICO are risky, but if you do the right research about the project, usally in long or short term you will earn from your investment, for example now I'm interested at Gilgamesh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2162600.msg21654565,) Platform, this project has a very good concept truly achievable, and has a good team working on it, and probably I will participate in their ICO, if the Price after the ICO will be lower I will continue to hold the tokens because I believe in team behind the project

If the project is solid I always invest. Right now I have invested into TokenPay and Hdac because both have great potential. There are many ICO's out there so be carefull what you choose and always inform yourself.

I'm new to this and so far I only invested in AppCoins. They already have a solid product, with 200 million users worldwide, so after doing my research, I found it ok to invest. Also, they have a very low minimum investment (around 10 USD), which makes it not that painful to join the ICO. The buying process is smooth, so I would recommend to you to take a look into it. The ICO is running until January 15.

The only ICO i wanted to invest in was UCH but too bad the sale was only for people who had fast internet . The site becomes very buggy and laggy when the time of the sale start . So it's a lucky shot if you get some . Overall i don't really trust ICO's considering how many new ones are there lately and a big percentage of them are a scam. You have to be very careful getting into the ICO's and read as much as you can about them , from the white paper to the road map and some external investigations about it .

You are talking about ICO so definitely its a little long term plan. Investing in ICO is a good choice if the Coin's speciality is usefull i mean for what purpose that coin is generated like for games,betting,groceries etc etc. So the supply and demands also follows on its usage.

Now ICO is very much but really worth one unit. Therefore, it makes no sense to participate in the ICO. Prsche then buy these tokens on the exchange (if they really are worthwhile). And to catch a really worthwhile ICO among such a volume, which, after entering the stock exchange, will be made by the X-Files is a rather difficult task.

Buying ICO is like fishing, depending on how you look at where you are fishing and how your feed is, big baits do not necessarily get great results, and small baits can get big enough results, that's ICO

Usually I prefer to take part in Bounty, not directly investing my money, but my working hours. Of course I`ll invest my money if I will be sure in profit

For example, once I`ve invested in one coin of cryptocurrency exchange, and along with the coins I have ICO bonus now - trading without fees until the end of 2018, so I will get my money back anyway by trading, and the coins will also give me good profit in future

Do you participate in the E-CHAT ICO?
It will be interesting to know your opinion. They looking promising....https://ico.echat.io

I used to do it often, but now not really. There are too much of them now and it's hard to understand what is worth investing. However if i'd see something decent I will buy some tokens.

No I am not a big lover of investing in ICOs because mort of them turned into scam project and they will run away with our hard earned money.i too have some experience in investing ICO but I just sell my tokens quickly after the token listed into the exchange because many tokens will be worthless after listed into exchange so you have to cash out soon as quick as possible to earn more profits.

It was very interesting to invest into ICOs this spring but not now. There are too much different projects. And, you see, there are too much good projects for the first sight, but after 1-2 weeks they can closed. And it's fine, if the team are honest and refund all that they receive during ICO... So, it's very risky nowdays.

ICO has many good project. It also depend on the team and their past experience with crypto projects. Every good project have reputable developers. You should check team, whitepaper, cap token token sale details after that investment ICO project.

I have'nt tried to invest in ICO campaign, I used to be one of the workers , which I come up in my mind over time that payments of us were depends on the income to be of the campaign from the investors. Then, if the campaign do not hit it targets, payments are delayed to be used in currency, and im not in to it, for me i dont prefer ICO campaigns.

If you are going to take part in ICO, you have to read about the project as much as you can. Other people can only recommend, but it's up to you whether to contribute or not.
I recommend BelugaPay. It seems to be respectful and successful.
If you aren't sure, you can buy tokens after their dictrubution and release. Sometimes they are cheaper than on ICO.

ico is very profitable if it has good quality. such as token taas, edg and wetrust, when the time ico they have cheap price, and after crowdsale ico and change a token, ico can have high price value , investing ico with good quality is a good investment .

I invested only to really important ICOs and the returns are big, not only in money, but also to the benefits we get as community from the ICOs we support.
ICOs transform our world really fast I believe we all support only good ICOs and try to avoid all the non sense ICOs. We vote to which ICOs to we support how the world will be tomorrow!

Now I do not buy anything on the ICO, because sometimes on the exchange you can buy more cheaper and do not have to wait and you can immediately buy. But I know that there are people who buy and receive profits but this is not always successful

ICO's are risky and that's why you have to do your due diligence. Also, I don't go into an ICO thinking I'm going to cash out in a month otherwise that's a ponzi scheme. I pick ideas I believe in and that apply to me.

For example, security tokens will be huge in the upcoming years, so I'm looking into the polymath ico since they're building a platform for launching securities tokens.

Yes I have bout a couple of them though i make sure i do my research before buying. I invest in project that has a product attached to it such always end well. and they pay investors first before bounty hunter will come to do their dumping. I have always s made some gains.

I'm following Gilgamesh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2162600.msg21654565,) project, there will be a crowdsale soon, this project has a very innovative idea, I think It is the best coin to invest at the moment imho

I tried many times its risky tough coz you gonna wait for how many months and wait the coins to pump/increase and sell it when profit. before investing in ICO read their whitepaper.

ICO investing seems like such a crapshoot right now. Even for my standards. Rather let some pass, see where the price settles and take it from there.

I invested in 7 ICOs already: Monetha, Viberate, BitJob, PayPie, RedPulse, Ambrosus and ETHLend. Only 2 of them didn't let me earn some dividends yet. Thanks to others I made x5 to my starting deposit. So I would say that ICOs are very profitable.

Though investing in ICO is a good investment but the volume of investment is the fact because if we try to invest more and more then the risk will be more. Altcoin has no fixed price and one can invest any amount, and that invest in crypto can increase or decrease in value within the matter of days. So, one should must have to invest in buying coins with cash or by trading and have to keep patience for getting profit from ICO.

I have participated in ICO ALGORY you can see the signature on my account this project has a good concept.
Algory Project is a set of powerful and multifunctional tools focused on the cryptocurrency market and designed with trading efficiency in mind. If you trade cryptocurrencies, you absolutely need Algory. It is the most actionable and multifunctional tool  ever built for individual crypto-traders all over the world. Founded by traders for traders, it gives you an  amazing edge when trading cryptocurrencies.
I believe this project will be successfull does't take long to cash out

I never investing in any ICO project before cause I don't have much experience and knowledge about it. But I know a website name icoscanner.io, it's the website with list of ICO project with good potential. And if you want to cash out by selling the token you received from the ICO project you need to wait until the token listed on any exchange, it often takes about 1 or maybe 2 months after the ICO project ended.

I bought it once and it was not expected, sold it until a reasonable amount during the pre-ico phase, so that after they launched the currency value was simply dissolved and I ended up losing some money initially. But after a few months and with the coin project in progress the price of it recovered gradually and in 2 months it was already higher than the price I paid in it during its ICO phase. Now the best option I see to make and buy the coin as soon as it gives the initial dumping, since many of them are worth 6x less when they are released.

I have tried investing in ICO's in the past, only fewer than others in my case. It takes a lot of patience
and research before and after you invest in them. But some of them really paid off, in a few
months and some even weeks i got some good results on them. I have to admit it is a risky
investment, I too got disappointed with a few ones i invested in. But that's part of the journey, you
can never really tell if they'll take off immediately. I believe there's this new one that i'm campaigning
and it's quite innovating and is of great potential. It's SHIPCHAIN and they're on presale. Check them out.

Depends on the ICO. Some have a short period and pay quickly and some make delays. But eventually, if you invest in a good project you will be succeeded.

I did my first in tokenpay, I read they whitepaper is good. The road map is very clear. I put my 50% funds in that project.

This is a very good idea, to join in an ico because with a span of time you can get what effort you put in. You just have to follow the rules and make sure that you are willing to dedicate your time and effort for everything so that you will be rewarded

Yes I ever invested in ICO, the first thing I will say that you are going to learn a lot of things, setting a new wallet, generating the ICO coin, really a great experience, and legit ICO got a very solid team that will help you if you get difficulty in buying, and when you want to invest in ICO you will need to read whitepaper and a lot of research, but you can see nowadays ICO got a very interesting project and vision

I have invested into a few ICOs and I generally look at the WP, Roadmap, social media presence, team and telegram.
I like to see a active Dev team either on Telegram or their bitcointalk ANN forum answering questions clearly and without side tracking them.

When investing in a ICO a also don't expect to see huge profits for at least a year or when there roadmap/project is completed.

I feel if you cover most of this you reduce your chances of picking a scam ICO. Also don't invest in a ICO any money that you can't afford to lose.

I want to help developing gaming projects, I think gaming is a future of entertainment.

What gaming ICO do you know?

Now only the IQeon ICO catch my eye

It depends on token distribution from dev after an ico finish, usually, now people can trade ico token at etherdelta. you can figure out how you can make a profit from ED, some token like drgn get like 10x from ico even not hit a bigger exchange, only on ED.

Previously, I just invested on one ICO's. Turns out to be a so-so performance and it wasn't what I was expecting. I really thought that it has a good future and the price could go up. Try to hold on the tokens however, after 3 months, I decided to sell everything so its only break even for me.

Really hard to invest on ICO now because of scams. If they are not a scam, I think it will only yields a decent returns, well as the case on my end. I have invested on a second ICO though, will see how it pans out. If it gives me good yields then I will continue, but if I got another break even or a lose, then I will stop for the time being.

You better read the white paper of the ico and find the team of member and past activities.. If all of them are good, you have better chance of earning a profit of 300% within a month.. Just find the facts of ico well before investing.. Thats all what you cost..

Invest in ICO is possible only when you have extra money (as they call it - easy money). If you have limited capital, you should not take risks.

It is highly depend on each individual ICO projects.
They need to have great experienced and development team, great marketing team, good business advisors, and etc.
You need some time and efforts to check them out, the best thing to do is to join their community and goes from there.

I checking out two of them now.

2. Graft.Network

My first ICO I invested in was Red Pulse (RPX). Looking back, I made a good choice :-)

Yes, I do, but not all of them are good like everything in life :)
You have to research and choose the right one based on the project, whitepaper, team...ect.

I love CyberTrust project, becasue of its unique concept: https://www.cybertrust.io

Must be selective to choose a potential ICO, we do not know whether ICO will succeed or fail. Usually we see / check the white paper to know the good project and who the team who joined the project.
it's usually a good move to choose ICO.

 personally I belive ico is the best investing way.  cause I got many profit from it. but not every ico you should research which one is better

You can find information about upcoming ICOs in the following websites:

https://www.icoalert.com

http://www.icohunt.co

https://icostats.com

Pay attention, some ICO are scam, you can't cash out.
Understanding altcoin pricing will put the investor in a position of not only knowing when it is best to invest in ICOs, but also knowing how to maximize returns.

Investing in ICOs at this point is in no way ideal as the current market is flourishing with various projects and everyone wants to make big profit in a short period of time. The biggest problem with ICOs is that the tokens will certainly not be worth the same as it was during the offering and will always be suppressed by Bitcoin and better altcoins.



Check out Bountie, a gaming platform based around the Asiatic region. Looks promising, at least in my eyes.

When you invest in an ICO project, you need to wait until the token listed on any exchange if you want to cash out :)) This process often take about 2 weeks - 1 month after the ICO ended. But with some ICO it only took about 1 week after the ICO ended. For now there are a lot of ICO projects but so many scam projects so you need to be careful if you wanna invest in ICO
