How to spot a good crypto ICO

[buwaytress]

All good steps, all good advice, but the reality is that, the majority of ICOs have only been around for about a year or so. What does this mean? It means we only have a very limited period of historical data to determine if they were successful or not. And then, what are your definitions of "good" crypto ICOs?

Obviously, people jump to price as a first indicator. But as above, how can you determine "good" from a price performance of a year, perhaps two at best? Perhaps people look at high profile ICOs that raised millions, and whose tokens now trade below ICO cost - does that mean it was a bad ICO? Perhaps its price potential has yet to come. If we take tokens that are flying high now, who's to say they won't drop next year? Is short term perspective necessary to qualify as "good"?

I see less correlation of "good ICOs" in terms of price, with quality/tech/roadmap/dev team at the moment, and more with marketing.

There are a lot of factors here, if we talk about profits, then we need to look at the hype around the project, the number of participants in telegram, social networks, etc.

It depends on whos the founder. Check his background. How the project works? How many of his project succeed and also if there so many investor.

I look at a few different aspects in a ICO when looking to invest.

If I were to break it down to the top 3 most important I would have to say the CEO/team, the community it has and behind it and finally how the tokens will be actually used in the product they are trying to bring to the table. I have seen a lot of revolutionary ideas in ICO's starting to come out in the scene but a lot less have actual case uses for the actual token you be purchasing. Besides that a very active strong community is a great thing to see and a good indicator of future success.

Good ICO’s, though, tend to be a bit more difficult to find. You can’t judge them based on their website or the marketing material they produce. Analyze their terms and making sure there is a very limited ability for abuse.
