Investing in ICO, still promising?

[SportsbookBettor]

It's still promising but the risk is always there. If we managed to invest on a project which the developer is doing hard work. Maybe our investment is in good hands but i think we just keep in our mind once we step into investing. We are aware that we will gonna lose it if something bad happens.

Yap still promising, but i think than buy when ico live i think you should buy when the coin first get to exchanger cause the price will be falling down than when ico live.
But investing in ico project i think it's still very promising

If you have a big budget, I will recommend you should choose Bitcoin. If not, you have to accept risks when investing in ICOs.

It's true there is a lot of scam projects and it's harder to find a good one. But I truly believe there is a big future of ICO's, so we now just need more patience to do our researches.

[kseniya.pride]

True that! Way too many scams

And people are getting tired.. End of the year, time to chill and think about Xmas stuff

Yeah, very interesting but I rather like to invest in Lending programme ICOs.

ICO's are a total gamble as of now for the following reasons:

1. Mostly pre-mined - Devs hold a very large part most of the time and they can dump once it hits exchanges.
2. Mostly built on hype, no actual working product - there are exceptions to this like TenX, but a majority of these ICO's hype the people during the ICO stage and disappear once the actual work begins.
3. Platform based, carries the risk of platform it is built on - just see what happened in the case of ETH lockdown right now. It wasn't a flaw in ETH as it's an error on the Parity wallet, but it clearly shows that whatever happens to ETH, 90% of the time these ICo's are also affected.

What I can suggest however is to research on lower cap coins, as it's safer to bet on alts that are already out in the market. These coins in the lower spectrum might be hidden gems, more room for growth and excellent opportunity for skyrocketing to the moon. One project I can see having potential is DeepOnion. It's a private coin working it's magic via the TOR network. It's a relatively new project but does hold a lot of potential for being in the top 10-20 in the future. They are gaining attention now here in BCT as their community is getting larger, more features going out each update (DeepVault, DeepTrust, DeepSend) and a lot of incentives for newcomers. You don't need to spend thousands to get into it, they are offering an airdrop where you can get your coins for free!

ICO is very promising. Even today with the news of segwit 2x been cancel alone we have seen a strong upward movement in the price of already traded token. And in most cases these prices is 400% of the ICO. Quality ICO are all over the places you need to research and dig them out.

Yes ICO's really are profitable but only if it is not a scam.  It is still promising, but like you said, you have to be picky because too many ICO's are a scam. I mean not just too many, it's almost all. Promising good thing, high and sure profit but in the end they will leave you empty. By the way it's was just my opinion, it's based on my own point of view. You have to decide on your own.

Yes I still believe in investing into ICO's. I think the amount of ICO's and lack of regulation is diluting the amount of strong ICO's but they are still out there.

Research is the key here. Just like any investment knowing the business, the industry and where they are going is vital. Here are a few things i look for in an ICO

- Strong team - Both in development team and also the CEO's / marketing (no point having a great team to create something, if nobody can advertsie it and push the startup in the right direction.
- Realistic vision - not aiming too high or if they do not reach their target everyone who invested will be disappointed
- Solid whitepaper - Well thought out, shows realistic goals, a strong good vision and a plan of action
- Strong social media presence - A social media that shows they are connected with everyone
- Good customer support - Shows they care, and they have invested time and money into making sure the average investor can ask questions
- Good website - A business who is willing to throw time and effort into a good website are less likely to be a scam
- finite supply - ICO's with no cap can be dangerous and can simply just damage their own coin by releasing more for more investment.
-Market they are getting involved with - Is this a new market? or a dying one? who controls the market?

Also here is an interesting article comparing ICO's with a working product vs a vision.

I think still promising to invest in ico. You can choose a good ico by studying every existing ico. If you are still hesitant to invest in it, you can ask anyone who is in this forum about an ico project. we can discuss about the ico.

[WSDN]

nope. I dont see any good ICO in short term except  fidentiax ICO. Maybe you can wait till January then invest to Livestars

[000JC88]

If you expect to make money from Bitcoin you probably won't make much. ICOs are the new  stocks, are the future of economy. Buying a really good ICO you can make a ton of money,but you must do a good research which is the best before you buy!
I would suggest you to buy trade.io the one I have in my signature , I don't have it just for the bounty , its really good.

If %5  of total marketcap of bitcoin moves to altcoins, you can't imagine how this is changing the alts

I think you have something wrong in your mind. ICO success does not relaile with ETH price. ICO price depends on the potential of project. What is the target of project? Can it solve economic problems? Is it worth to invest, so on... Therefore, let trust in ICO and do research carefully before buying tokens. 

[chadtn]

Can't say about only ERC20 but can say about all of altcoins. ICOs are still very perspictive but there are a lot of projects and you should just carefull learn about company where you want to invest.

I think it depends of ICO project, so be careful, always do research first before deciding to invest in an ICO. always do research first to the project concept, the development team, the performance of the team, its track record, and others related to the project's interests.

Yes it depends on which ico project which you are going to invest. A lot of ico project are rising each day and it's up to us now how much effort will we put to research on their team, their road map. But if we managed to get on the right ico project i think we will profit a lot from it.

Many ICO has been created almost everyday, so and it's very difficult to choose which of them will be successful.So to be sure search the team behind that project and their history background.

At present it is very difficult to decide which ICO is best to invest as we are not getting enough time to analyze and take the right decision. Well if we pick the right one ICO is the promising one for our investment to get good returns.
