What is the average ico Maturity date?


Let's say i invest in ico Today...
How long I should wait to get decent profit?

Usually?  1 year? 

You can't predict when it will happen. Ussually you will get decent profit as soon as the token got listed on popular exchange sites. After that, it will get dumped by investors or bounty hunter and the price will dropped so much.

How big exactly decent profit you mean? 5x from your invesment?

You should have done the research, the way is to ask directly in the official telegram group, an investor must make sure when the project will be listed on the exchanger, and what price will be traded.
because that question will determine the benefits.
but in general, if the hardcap has been reached quickly, the coin will be listed in exchange several months after the ICO is finished,

I would say if you can get it to the exchange and get the sell order up as soon as it gets listed, this is probably your best bet. It will start really high and then the price will dump from everyone who invested into the ICO and are waiting to cash in their profits. This requires you to be pretty fast though. You really want to be one of the first people to list it. After that, there's no telling when or if the coin price will ever come back up. Your best bet is to pay attention the the announce thread and any other social media for news on the coin.

Well the maturity date of ICO's will always depend to the different aspects like market condition,capability of the team behind the project,marketing strategy and etc. If for example you are going to invest in this season in which we are nearly at the bottom of market then the maturity date will surely takes too long like a year or more than of it.

But there are very rare projects out there that can still pull the string even in this market condition, so if you got lucky then you can profit in a very short time like 4-6 months. 

I think there are no ETA you can make profit. My suggestion is if you already bought or maybe really sure with ICO that you joined, always update when it is listed on market. Usually at first time it listed, it pumped a little. Better than ICO price. I think it is good to sell because after longer time in market price keep down and usually make people lose. 1 more benefit to sell early in market is you can change to another project.

An ICOs? Probably never.

Just my personal opinion but i'm quite pessimistic when it comes to ICOs. There have been too many scams in the past that it is quite questionable for a company to launch an ICO in the first place. I believe a real and legitimate company could always get funding as a startup if it is real. Therefore, i believe companies that go the ICO route have different intentions.

Usually some of the ICO are getting listed a year or never. There is no way that you can make a profit from an ICO since some of them are not really making any developments or updates after getting a a lot of money.

And obviously, you need to always check if its a legit project and team. A lot of scammer are popping-up since they know that people can be easily deceived.

Product-wise, it will take years before the price of the token reflects the value of the project. So, if you want to get a quick return, you should avoid it. Zilliqa, for example, takes several years, and even after it has released the network, the price still didn't follow the progress.

You'll find a better chance with IEO because most exchanges pumped their IEO tokens for a few days after the first listing. But, be careful because that market is unregulated, and lots of exchanges love to rekt you up.

Maturity date? it depends on what project is being made and how serious the developer is making the project, if in my opinion the investore is currently getting new tokens and tokens in the listing in exchanger, it has to wait more than 6 months, again it depends on the project organizer. In my opinion, as investors when investing and have become part of their project, then in less than 3 months the investors should have benefited from joining the project. This year many complain that ICO from the investor side will reduce trust to invest, many ICO events that affect investment, for example, just a failed project and a scam project.

It really depends on the performance of the company, It could take months, years or decade. But if you made a reasonable profit already it can be a good signal to sell your shares, better if you set target profit and set aside greed.

there is no guaranteed you will really earn with ICO token. As you can see more of them has been lost its value after a year even a good project  ICO you will experience some lost. I suggest to buy bitcoin or any of the top crypto currency not a token then hold it for a year or two  than participating in ICO.

Depends on the project idea and project progress. Did it already finished their ICO? Reached softcap or hardcap? or already listed in exchanges. It usually take years depending on the team progress and roadmap. As much as possible keep your investment updated. See the updates and know their plans. If you don't see any progress or reply from team and admins better withdraw your investment but if you think their doing their best in developing it then it will have its time to gain profit. It all depends on the project.

There is no average. It completely depends on the project itself. If you've invested in a viable project, then you could earn a profit depending on how long til the project actually delivers(could be years of course). If you've invested in a scam ICO or a bad project, then chances are that you wouldn't make money.

Profits, especially with ICOs, are far far less profitable right now compared to in 2017. And this applies to pretty much any kind of investing, ever.

ISO investments are not a dollar guarantee one if you want to invest your fund on good projects you need to examine the project deeply and find the best one first.
Then projects need to get good private investor for their project and number of tokens also need to reach the soft cap at least. When you want to make the money successful projects once it is been listed you need to sell the tokens in some hours for your safety.

investing in ICOs has always been a gamble, back in 2017 when they were too hyped up the odds of "winning the bet" was high but nowadays that the hype is dead for good, the odds are against you.
for that reason nobody can tell you how long it could take to get a profit if any at all. but as a rule all the ICOs have so far gotten an initial big pump then dumped and died slowly. so if there were any profit it would be in the early weeks of its listing on and exchange the longer it gets the lower the risk of pumping any more.

Maturity date? No it doesnt exist because ICO's arent really fix investments like putting up your money on banks that do gain interest.
ICO investment is already been shitty nowadays and thats why they are near to die because they arent already giving out profits into
its funders and come to think that IEO is the new hype now and even to this new way of sale doesnt even guarantee on making money
so always think up on losing money or the risk involved anytime you decide to put up some or throw money on it.

It depends, there is no fixed time when will get profit, it all depends on how ico is running, if ico is running smoothly and successful then you will get profit as soon as possible. Unless you are a holder and believe that ico you are participating in is very potential, it is better to hold it, maybe it will be like BNB.

When it was 2017, to get profit in ICO fast enough, because at that time there was still a lot of ICO and investors so that the encouragement of investors was strong enough that eventually there was a lot of hype. But now situation is different, all destroyed because of the scammer and in my opinion to get profit from ico now very difficult, maybe more than a year.

It somewhat can be applied to cryptocurrency startup projects, but mostly not. There's a far bigger chance of cryptocurrency projects failing in the long term compared to actual wall street or silicon valley startups. Most cryptocurrency projects are still purely fluff, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

this is a very difficult thing to predict, even when the ICO is already traded on the market, it cannot guarantee that you will get a profit. in addition, each project has a different road map. You must know exactly about the investment you make. ICO does not guarantee to give you a 100% profit. in fact, some ICO has very low prices.

however, I agree with some of the opinions here. if you are looking for profits, you only need to invest when the tokens have been traded, analyze the price, and try to make a profit.

To buy ieo what I need?

Look, I don't even remember last profitable ICO , moreover there is completely new tendency called IEO. From my point of view IEO is less risky and faster. Token is going to be listed within days or even hours unlike uncertainty with ICO.
Believe me, you can simply lose money in ICO

It wont  really changed up yet 99.9% of them would really just end up on becoming a failure or doesnt really deliver any progress at all in spite
on having being supported or being funded out by the community.This isnt some sort of investment or loans that do have some due maturity date
where you can depend on.So for op its better to invest on directly buying up btc than considering this ICO shitty investments.

ICO so far has a big difference way back on 2017, because most of the project taking so long before the main sales done. This is most often happened now in the project whether it is ICO or IEO, and sometimes there are some will begin with ICO for 3 months then after their due date comes they will proceed to IEO which will take another months again before it finish, so all in yes it will be done 1 yr or more, which is really shitty for me.

1 year is good enough. But it is never a guarantee. There are ICOs whose tokens are still below the ICO price after at least two years. It is not the waiting actually. It is the development pace of the project. If the project is too slow to deliver their promises or release at least the alpha version of their product, it is expected that it will take a longer time before investors will buy their coins or tokens.

I guess it still boils down as to whether what current state we are in, in bullish market such as 2017, I have seen ICO, once completed giving a decent ROI in less than three months.

But in a bearish market in 2018-2019, well, there are some projects that have completed in 2018 and up to now the tokens is not listed on an exchange, meaning you can't really profit.

So you also have to look at the current cycles to say when you are going to get a decent profit when investing on ICO.

Maybe now there's no guarantee on anything since ICO's are falling and if you see the statistics of the ICO coins you will find out that 99% of them is totally dumped and some of them totally died already so I suggest if to sell it whenever you see a good position already and buy whenever the price dump and sell again, just do this repeatedly and you will earn by trading since in holding it a high chances for you to lose.

There is no exact date as ICO will end as soon as they are satisfied with their sales like hitting the soft cap or they are aiming for the hard cap in which some time the lowest duration is just a month for the bullish and the longest will reach a year or sometime more than 2 years like the Remecoin project due to bearish market.

It all depends on the exchange they register with and how people are able to accept the project, if they have very real use case and they have standard team, there is chances that their project will boom when they enter the exchange and I think that is the maturity time, the time they enter an exchange and you are bale to witness some pump is the time that you should quickly withdraw your money from there.

Most projects now, whether they have real use case or not, the moment that they enter an exchange is when investors Starts dumping them heavily because they no longer believe in any of those coins for long term investment purpose again, but whatever they can get from the project in a short time, and I think that is the best way to treat a new project.

Normally it takes months because companies are having a harder time processing their application for listing in different companies, that is why it takes months, however there is a new way of conducting it knowing as IEO , in IEO there is an assurance that right after the sales the token will be listed.

I am not sure about ico, it is very difficult to benefit from ico. even some ico were successful and reached hardcap but their tokens fell on the market and prices were out of control.

There's no specific time as usually the price will rise if the market gets better.
Let's say you invested in ICO now, and in the next month the bull run started, then you can expect that the price will rise in my folds like what happen during the last bull run, and the best thing to do is to sell according to your target and don't be greedy as could hurt your future.

Those people who invested in 2018 have waited over a year already and the market still failed to recover fully, so its really hard to measure through a specific time, timing is the most important.

If you asked this question in 2017, I could help you by telling a 5x-10x profit you will get. At this moment, I would suggest you research the ICO market. How many ICO got success, how many ICO projects gave the investment back to its investors, sorry, I am ignoring profit. After all the research, I hope you will have enough ideas to decide yourself! Because I can't ensure you about ICO investing.

Really depends on the project and it's really hard to pinpoint exact date. Check road map of every project  and then decide. Smartest way is to search for prefunded (non-ICO) project. Speaking of them, does anybody know any cool new non-ICO project?

I don't think that there's enough data for this yet, i would believe the returns are in sync of the bear and bull markets but we have to wait for next to see if my theory holds any ground. Also investing in ICOs is like betting on a horse. Not every bet wins, you have to study the probabilities and go with those.

actually maturity is a term of POS concept of coins. coins need to maturity time for splitting, staking.
op uses this term wrongly i think.
i never heard it before as financial terminology

Not necessary that the price will drop as soon as ico gets listed. How to make a successful bounty campaign in which participants will believe is one of the hardest things to do as an ico.

I say to invest in ICO right now is not good, how long do you have to wait for profits I think it's hard to guess because many ICOs currently fail because investors don't trust anymore, I suggest you don't invest in ICO because it's so bad, it's better invest certainly is like BTC and ETH.

Better and its more worthy to buy BTC and other top alts rather than considering on investing into ICO's and also there an option or the new way of investing in terms of project funding like ieo.Dont know where they do get that maturity date thing since it isnt possible for investors to know on when would the project would increase its price.
It will always vary with communities support and demand towards the project.If not present then expect for total failure.

There is no exact date, depend on the ICO which invested

to be honest, i really dont recommend to invest in ICO, many scam ICOs from 2018-now, you may just get lose your money in ICOs
if you wanna invest in new coins, i prefer to invest in binance IEO, it has more opportunity to get profit
or the last option, you choose the coin already in the market, pick top ten coinmarketcap

Crypto market is very volatile and it move beyond the expectations. One cannot predict how much time a project token will take to appreciate investor's money. Take example of Bicoin, its trading in a range for past many months but when it started rising in late 2017 its value appreciated from $1K to $19K in 2-3 months only. I have seen such growth in Pundix as well. Currently most of the coins are stagnant and not moving much. I believe investor should give plenty of time like 2-3 years and sometime even more to any good project to look for good return.

If me, when i get profit i will sell my coins immediately. Hold ICO tokens for long time is bad idea. Sometime, a lot of them really die in market and usually have no price anymore. That is why a lot of investors lose, they expect really high with their investment.

To make things clear to you the ICO market is must worst than the penny stock scam we had a long back and that too in a regulated market, just imagine how worst the ICO market will be, there is no gurantee that you will be getting back what you invested in the first place let alone waiting for the maturity date  :P :D.
 
When the ICO market started it was a lottery because once the coin is listed in the market the price usually goes higher and you can make a profit easily and then the shit storm started and now a days all the ICO that started are at a loss and majority of the projects died,so consider the risk before investing in those shitty projects.

The thing that needs to be dealt with first is what made it very difficult now, because ICO was never difficult some years back, in fact, any develop does not really stress that much to actually get a project money from already awaiting investors or the so called participant, but most of the participants are now very scared of these projects as they no longer produce a quality project any more, and some of them are even scam projects.

Having participants to believe in ICO now is very difficult, the only way to go about it now is just for them to start thinking of how they can be shifting their project to IEO because that is the only place that investors still believes in right now. For IEO, everyone knows that the moment the IEO is concluded is exactly the maturity date.

ICO is in the category of short-term investment because we do not want to get a loss due to the investment, so some people when listing will sell at any price. almost the same as IEO but ICO has long been left by those who invest in it.bonuses although it gives interest, but prices in the market will fall

I stopped joining ico and chose another model for several reasons like you mentioned, the raw reason from the developer is that market conditions are still downtrend.

When ico goes on they should also have matured with an exchange of no more than 2 months, in fact not.
Investors like me can be patient for so long, but others don't care and they end up selling on the black market. Dev was supposed to strengthen their project, but instead panicked to sell and the project was bleak instantly. Ico dev must also think about this continuity.

Developers influenced the success of the project, if the team knows how to market everything they will be able to get things in the right place.

There's no certain period for any project to grow or succeed, it's depend from how the project developers  build strong foundation and engage
more with people to support their projects.
