ICO = Initial Coin Offering, is an investment on Project that has not yet started and it will start as soon as the ICO is closed. The vision will be in accordance with how many Tokens will be sold. Most WhitePapers show the stages and/or phases of the ICO that i.e if they receive this ammount of USD they will do A & B.

If the ICO succeeds and if the vision becomes implemented then there is a good return of investment.

If you fine to identify the pretty decent ICO which can be grow longer than with the greater marketplace value in future. You have to buy the token sale of any ICO which gives extra percentage of amount which is worth more 50% or even more. If you do proper research you will be able to find the good ICO.

Google can explain you in details what an ICO is. I think I cannot explain to you better than Mr Google can. In general, ICOs is a way for projects, usually projects on blockchains nowadays, to create resources that they could use to fund their projects. This is going to need investors that are convinced of how sound their projects are.

It comes from the popular term in stocks, IPO (Initial Public Offering). ICO means Initial Coin Offering wherein funds are raised for a new token to be launch. The funds that will be accumulated will be use for the development of their project and other costs that they needed. Usually in ICO, the tokens that they are offering is lower than the market price and usually they give an additional bonus for those who will participate in the ICO.

I'll add a little where teams and devs have certain innovative and creative ideas to be realized. the more creative and innovative ideas brought by dev and having the potential of having a large share. then the possibility of investors will be more and have more chance to get large funds also from the community
