Investing in ICO, still promising?

[Coenlogan]

Hi, everybody!
Yes, now there is a sad situation on ICOs market at the moment. Most coins after tokensale are traded with price lower than ICO (exept pre-sale price maybe). Even great projects have the same problem. Some projects which don't have any lock period for their tokens after selling meet with the situation when coins are sold on EtherDelta at a lower than ICO price right during ICO! But 2-3 months ago such tokens would be sold x3-5 minimum. So, ICO market is dead now, I think.

Not all Icos trade under sale price - only the ones that are uncapped or over estimate how much they need.

Check out ASSETRON ENERGY - price is currently in pre-sale at 2.5 cents, and this company will use their Tokens on the investments platform, so the price will only go up as more projects go online, thats why I invested a lot into it.

There are, of course, some exceptions. One of them is in my signature.
The ICO market will have to change in the near future. Most projects will have to reduce their cap 5-10 times, maybe more.

I do not invest in ICO projects, but I participate in them in signature campaigns. I can say that most, about 80 percent, are successfully settled, some are not brought to the end because they do not raise enough funds, and the units are scammers. For example, the BeOne campaign seems to have been promising, but it turned out ... Now the ICO campaign is being conducted by the Milkcoin campaign, it's interesting that they do not issue their medals, invest in agriculture in the Voronezh region, Russia, and pay for the airwaves. This is something that is not very similar to ICO and smacks of fraud. But in general, I'm pleased that I participate in different ICOs and consider them necessary.

[Distinctin]

This market will soon die out.
It is already almost oversaturated and brings a minimum profit to its investors.

I don't think so, as long as there are legitimate ICOs people will invest. There are a lot of ICos around the crypto world but as investors it's our responsibility to ensure we have invested in the most promising ICO, if we fail that is when we loss our money.

[bullseyetnt]

There is certainly still the good the bad and the downright ugly. You will always still find some ICO's that is worth the time to invest in.
Due diligence is just way more important today. You can't just simply check the website and invest. Spend at least an hour even more just checking up on every claim and team member.

[Soksuci]

Off course it is. Because the amount of startup doing ICO is hugely increasing, you must be aware of the core team and also check their whitepaper to see is it a scam or not. If not, your investment might be doing well over time.

[SABRINA-ANTO]

if in my opinion is still promising and can generate profits but requires patience. we just need to be careful to choose the project, see from the team merka, road map and whitepapernya as well.

[CryptotradeGMO]

Most of Icos are shit but 1 of 20 is good and makes much profit 
You need to analyze them

[dimastegar]

ICO is still a promising thing for investors who have a lot of money. ICO can be spelled out promising because its profit can reach 1000%. And now more and more large companies are entering the world of Crypto to seek opportunities through ICO. But, ICO have Big risk .

[eodchop]

I think that investing is still promising
but the main question is how ro make the best profitable choice

[kaloloy]

Investing to new ICOs is like gambling, you wouldn't know if that ICO has a future or not. But the only thing that can be sure is to know the backbone and the core team because advertising and marketing has a better role to promote ICOs and investors.

[Noxmfs]

PROS: there are actually great projects that need funding and hide huge potential. Chosing the right one is a hard task but if you manage to do it, you'll be in green.
CONS: it really turned the other way around. That great idea started to get abused and more and more meaningless tokens appear. 99% of the ICOs are trash and scams.
Be careful what you invest in. Do a solid research before taking any actions.

[Franko30]

can suggest you Confideal, but they will start ICO in November. I check it in my scam indicators, and I think this projects can't be scam. I hope, because i plan to invest in. Very understandable idea, good team and background, demo version of products..looks good

[Jenna_G]

I'm really lucky and i never was scammed, but could be if didn't start read this forum.  I still believe we have no scam ico. I sure that confideal is exactly this case. But You need always check your ico and read as much information abt it as you can.
In my opinion we still have good projects for investing

[v_Harley]

Short-term or do not invest it, invest a few ico are losses
 

[RoyTers]

ICOs clearly need a kind of regulation... I don't mean that it should come from the "law", but at least some kind of decentralized limitations to this kind of thing cause 99% is scam

[darthmaul]

If in my opinion could have resulted in profits from the sale of origin we do not give up so only.whether can survive although requires patience from the deepest inner self that would have been no previous intentions.

Ah! That’s really deep inside psychology. I think you don’t need to think much about it emotionally as long as the plans of ICO are perfectly arranged. Though there is garbage of ICO coming everyday but you have to be that much lucrative while selecting the right investment plan. I’m pretty sure you will find right spot. ;-)

[Iminvest]

It is still promising if you find a good ICO, who respect their contributors and trying to protect them.. like this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2316185

[Coldsnap4457]

I am a person that gains profit from investing in ICOs but now I'm having second thoughts. I know some ICOs are potential scam so I am really picky to where I put my money.
Anyway, considering with what happened to Ethereum price and with the nearing Aigist 1, do you guys think that it will still be profitable to invest on ICOs mostly on ERC20 tokens and those accepting btc payments?

Yes, scam is a valid concern.

Go with ICOs that have working software. They are far less likely to be scams.

That's right, mate. V. Buterin told about it yesterday in his speech on ETHWaterloo - https://www.ethnews.com/ethereums-vitalik-buterin-on-tokens-10. But there are also pearls in this dunghill and this is an our task as investors to find them. So, if we are successful in this we will be able to earn some money. If not - we will lose. The time of fast and simple earnings has passed unfortunatelly.
