Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering.
Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ?

Thanks a lot if someone can help me.  Smiley
An ICO is a fundraising tool that trades future cryptocoins in exchange for cryptocurrencies of immediate, liquid value. You give the ICO bitcoin or ethereum, and you get some of Billy’s New Super Great Coin or the infamous CrunchCoin.
In the simplest terms, an ICO is a fundraising means in which a company attracts investors looking for the next big crypto score by releasing its own digital currency in exchange, typically, for bitcoin.

You get merit points when someone likes your post enough to give you some. And for every 2 merit points you receive, you can send 1 merit point to someone else!

Similar to stocks, but here you are offering a technology that is believed to a potential use of value.
And if join or believe with this you are buying part of that product.
And the cerficates of ownership is issued through coins.

if in my opinion is a coin that can be accessed without using the data network and often closed the reason to reduce the existence of a big problem that can interfere with its performance eg there are people who often make trouble and like to give spicy comments.

Why invest in ico?
People invest in ICO because to get maximum return on their investment but it is not always true the value of tokens after ICO may decrease when it hit exchanges. But now a days ICO are becoming more like gambling and new ICOs pops every day.

For me i dont highly recommend for you to invest into a ico until you feel comfortable with it if you cannot understand a certain ico by the fundamental aspects by profiting them. On the ICOcountdown.com the person has made his joob done right by sussing out the scams for you abd also their blog is a good start.it is also good idead to read . Research and also read tons of it for you to have a realiable source for investing only an amount that you cab afford to lose

This has most likely been answered by the amount of posts but I'll quickly give you a short answer:

IPO - Initial Coin Offering

A lot like a IPO with stocks. It's when a new cryptocurrency is going public with there coin and is getting first wave of people to invest (purchase coin) at a low beginning price.

It's basically the start of the coin being released to the market for the first time and allows people to buy in first usually at a low price. The money made from the ICO usually goes back into the coin development but that does depend on what is stated it will be used for in each individual ICO

ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering or referred to as a crowdsale. It is basically a way to gather money or BTC, ETH, Waves, or LTC, etc. The resources gathered are then used to further develop their project, hire new members to the team, and generally for the improvement of whatever the project is about. The dates vary according to project.

ICO is Initial coin offering. They will sell some coins or tokens during the ICO so that they have money to develop the project. With those amount of money they collect from investors, they will use it and make the coin/token stronger. Investors will receive coin or tokens which can be value or not depend on the project of the team

A lot was said of what the ICO is about. More important is to understand where exactly to invest.

I don't think that the ICO is a lottery. It's possible to say whether the ICO will bring profit or it is just a simple scam or simply whether the idea simply has no future. Just look carefully before you give any money.

I think there is no need for me to repeat a Wikipedia explanation of what exactly ICO is. I just wanted to add that if you are willing to manage ICO campaign, you need to prepare a strong well-written white paper that will clearly explain the purpose of your project. Your white paper can either attract a whole bunch of potential investors or bury your project during the pre-launch phase - it is that crucial for you.

also in this days of high ico scams, it's important to have a whitepaper and a working project, before launching the amrketing campaing.

so our ico will be launch with a working version of the service


hopefully, we can get your support in this coming months.

Oh ok, but how can we make profit with ICOs ?
Because i found your website and i was wondering if i should invest on coins before the opening of there ICOs or before the end of there ICOs

I highly recommend you don't invest in an ICO until you feel confident that you understand some of the fundamental aspects of profiting from them. the ICOcountdown.com person has in fact done a good job of sussing out the scams and their blog probably is a good start. Beyond that it is a good idea to read, research, read more, research more and then invest only an amount that you can afford to lose.

Good point yout got there. Read, research, read more,  research more. The fact that not all ico are reasonable enough to invest and my put your money to waste.

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks
If start-up would like to involve investors, it has to prepare a strong white-paper. It’s a visit card of the company. Strong white-paper – strong investors.

Investing in an ICO isn't just about making money though. Supporting the development team by giving them funds for them to work on stuff is a method to show that you are supporting the coin.
