Why do you invest in ICOs?

[iLatios]

Hi,
this thread I want to ask you: Why do you, if you do, invest in ICOs?
I see horrible huge amounts of money going to those. What do investors think to get in return?
Mostly it's the same case: ICO starts, much money comes in, you get the coins.
But what if those coins do not get back the initial worth?
Or do you invest because of other reasons?

For example (disclaimer: this is NOT hate!):
Why did trueflip.io get over $4,7 Million?


Thank you for answers!

Last year I have heard about Bitcoin for the first time. But I've got a job and make enough money to live. My friend, who have told me about it, continue searching for information, investing money, taking part in bounty campaigns. And this spring or summer he bough a flat! He started with nothing. And now he's got enough not only to live, but to make the dreams come true.

Obviously I invest because I hope to make some profits. I do look for projects that are promising and exciting though.

[Russlenat]

I invest in ICO because if the ICO success I will also success this is investment and gambling that's works for me and I already made income on some ICO.

Investing in ICO now is having taking a risk. Some ico now are good when they launch it like you think its a good project but things turned out when the project has ended. A promising one turned to a scam. That's why SEC now is getting strict about this. And hope over time it will be resolve so our money will grow and secured.

Investing in ICO does not guarantee a profit, sometimes you lose and sometimes you profit, that's how fair it is
but sometimes you gut lucky to make big profit when the ICO you participated will improve their tokens.
By checking on the history of ICOs you can tell it's profitable but the answer is still coming from you because you are the one
who will decide on where and what to invest.

I'm very very wary of investing in ICOs. It's quite a big gamble as there have been a few in the past that didn't even get to an exchange or anything, they just disappeared.

[Scriptonite]

I try to invest in promising ICOs. Yet, there were ICOs which disappeared thereafter, which I unfortunately invested in. Couple of my investment in ICOs apppeared to be very lucrative, so I will keep investing further. With each investment in ICO there comes valuable experience. Now I am becoming pro scam identifier))

Next time, try to evaluate those new ICO from who the developers behind the project are. This thing really matter a lot and what make a project succesfull, not just random people making nonsense project using word "decentralized", that's really a different thing and just were made to be a money grabber, no more.
That's an expensive lesson you got there.

Investing in ICOS can be a risk, but it can also be a great opportunity.

Ethereum and IOTA are examples of success.

[Xxmodded]

Investing in ICO is very risky and we know it, to be prepared with risk, for me the ICO is very profitable, high potential and can develop in the future.

[ss890]

I think those who are investing are the ones who do hold a big bag of ETH, so I think that might have happened when many investors pushed ICO really successful

Do you really think that is the reason why most of the people invest into #ICO ? Just because they have wallets filled with #ETH! Lozl thats really laughing thing anyone must have said until now. These ICO are not a joke and they are business really. ICO projects have some important agenda on the basis of which they run and let the market survive on them. They give us big opportunities to earn extra bucks by helping them out with investments that we could afford. We are basically there shareholder so we have a position with ICO officially and everything works professionally with ICO. Its true most of the people think about it in the negative way but they are not as long as people are investing truthfully in them. :-) I invest for best of the ICO to give me huge profits and see myself as part of successful ICO.

[Barbut]

I invested in couple of them, I kinda see they have some future, at least some of them. At the moment there is so many ico`s, explosion of new coins, I think more coins appeared in past few months then ever before. Today I saw a thread about how LUST is a scam, one guy revealed them, they had stolen pictures, fake names, everything is fake about them. Thanks for this should go to Jan Marcin, here is the thread about it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2077842.0. People should be aware, many of this new ico`s will turn out to be scams in one moment, so before investing check everything.

Investment in ICO is a trend of the future. I think in future ICO projects will be censored more carefully and certainly the ICO projects must be legal. I hope in the future there will be no scam ICO because everyone is keen to invest in ICO

There are always going to be scams on the world of ICO there is no way around that, in stocks there are many scams all the time, you do not hear about it them because either everything is hidden or the regulators were part of the scam, but do not forget scammers are everywhere.

Well, the answer to that question is not that simple for everyone. Some people do like to make money on the things that they purchase yet there is a few people that just want to invest in a coin so they can say that they have the coin no matter the whole value of the token.
Investing in something doesn’t always mean that the investors wants money from it, they could have another purpose for it instead of just relying on dollars and other currency to get them rich.
You’re right about most people investing money into something because majority of them want to get rich though.

[Solutionbenedicts]

At the end of the day, there will be some ICOs that should be absolutely avoided. A conservative strategy is 99% of all ICO could be junk. Do your due diligence and learn how to sniff out the 1%. Investors who have bought coins at the ICO price have been rewarded generously by the companies in question In the next year there will be more and more ICO offerings coming out every month as this technology becomes more mainstream, so it will be become more difficult to filter out the riffraff and find the cryptocurrency firms with the most potential.

[Ahimoth]

I think investing in ICO projects is risky because we can not verify the origin of the ICO and who is the founder of the project. People invest in ICOs just for high profits and do not care about risky issues

Yeah this is true. And the people behind some projects don't care if the campaign will succeed or not. As long as they get their salary they are fine with that. That's why many ico starts to be fine and in the end it will turn to scam.
So much risky so better to be picky when choosing where to invest.

There are such coins where there really is a good idea, and they can earn a lot of money.
And there are also coins on which you can earn a hyip.
I have such reasons for investing in ICO.

[Sync485]

because after ico token can make x5 x10 easily. at this time there is a lot of ico. its hard to find a good ico but when you find just sit and watch.
