Some are scam, but wahat about others that doesn't scam.
There will be always scams in real world and also in here. Better do our research and take that risk IMO.

Do not write off every ICO as a scam. I still believe if you invest in something, there's a chance you might lose or gain. That's risk. You play or you ball

I don't think that the ICOs are very high in risk because if they are risky then there is no people investing in ICOs and to be fair, ICO is one of the in demand right now because people now a days are making quick bucks from their ICO investment and i think it is a fast and profitable way to make a lot of money in the future if we will just invest in a good ICO.

Not every ICO is a scam. There are ICO with a real project behind it, that want to realize it.
There are also ICO were the team is not selfish and think only about their project and not their wallets.

My thought.

High risks, but high profit. I think the key point for joining a ICO is doing some deep research, instead of following anyone else.

Yes its a risks when you invest your money. But not all ICO are scam, there are ICO that is legit and good project to invest with. The best thing when you invest in ICO is do some research before you put your money.

I think initial coin offering is a good idea that wasn't implemented into life without disadvantages. The latter are mainly connected to the fact that many people are now able to copy some code, slightly change it and say that this is the future of our money. At the same time it enables poor smart people to get rich and contribute something into the market of currencies. Although there are some good things about ico, I am surprised that most of people hasn't voted for it being a scam.

This is not a rule. You can be dumb and take high risk with literally very little profit. Worst ICO model for me :
- 30 days period to invest (or more)
- Huge ad campaign.
- Token released just one week after the ended period.

So everyone who want to buy can for a long time, and there is no time to hype the final product.

I think you shouldn’t generalize on ICOs, there are good ICOs and bad ICOs. It is true, that most of the ICOs will fail, they won’t deploy a sustainable business model or their final product won’t match the received funds, but investment in one good ICO could easily pay for the other ones and still make a profit. In my opinion the risk/reward ratio seems reasonable, still you shouldn’t do it with the money you need for survival. Smiley

Sure. But I still don't understand how people can invest so much money on wannabe companies that have no products yet, no track records. ICO's are pretty much backed by hot air. 
This article may have some good information about at least some motivation investors can have. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/crypto-investing-age-whales/

I think some scam ICO are a really noob trap/net because when you start in cryptoworld you are very manipulative and you give easily your money for dust project. It takes really long time to become skeptic and saw the real opportunity behind each ICO. And even with that time you could sill be wrong sometimes :/

correct ... well done OP.

POW coins with proven fair launch and good distribution are best.

i totally agree with you not all ICO is not worth it. Some ICO have good fundamentals and will grow

Yeaaaaaah buuut... Still I was/am very happy to have brought some Veritaseum 2 month ago at ICO price. Around $5,5 at the time of the ICO.
Well in reality not really $5,50 coz I brought my ETH at $8.

God Bless the ICO's  Grin

I have to agree with you even though I know that there are many legit ICOs outside. As you know, there are many scammers abusing the ICOs form to steal other people money. Some ICOs are good but the number of bad ICOs is very high. You must be very wise if you want to become an ICO investors because there is a high risk that you will lose all of your money

There is no magic to ICOs. You have to do proper due diligence as you would with any investment. But the ICO paradigm will put opportunities in front of investors that would ordinarily go into the hands of venture capitalists. Remember public blockchain businesses are going to be very disruptive to many business areas in the coming decades and this is precisely what ICOs are!
Then there are the ones like the one my company First Global Credit is sponsoring AICOIN. AICOIN is an investment collective. THIS COULD NOT EXIST BEFORE THE BLOCKCHAIN. AICOIN takes the pool of money we collect in the ICO and using already profitable Artificial Intelligence models will trade the top 7 cryptocurrency markets. We will take the profits from that trading and invest in a portfolio of A.I. and blockchain companies. This is for the benefit of the token holder collective. Decisions for how the money is used, what investments we make and how profits are distributed will be decided by the collective through the mechanism of the token.
If anyone is interested in reading the whitepaper or investing some money in the ICO you need to create an account. Log in and invest. There are still a few days left to the pre-subscription period. Investors during this period will receive extra tokens.

I am pretty sure that you won’t get that much people interested in your project because of the click-bait title plus how do you expect people to invest in something that you will not provide to the people unless they are registered on that website?
There isn’t anything special about this project it, it reminds me of a half-scam half charity project. I will definitely not purchase a coin from this project because you are asking for so much with so little information.
