Why do you invest in ICOs?

[Bezobraznike]

   I invested in BitDice ICO, that is my first investment, then I invested in few more ICO`s. Why? I support the idea behind it, casinos are making
their own tokens, that can be very useful. Casino is increasing a bankroll with our investment in tokens, as casino grow, tokens will worth more, not
just casino also trading with this tokens can increase worth of tokens.
   Many people do not like ICO`s, I understand why, to many scam coins appeared and it is hard to recognize which one is good, I am also not sure
in this, but I need to try something and my choice was this.

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.

Yeah i also agree for this if the dev is hard working and he do all for the best of this token you profit will be 10x or up i already witness a lot of successfull tokens and coins but some of them also got problem.

some of them has no product just trying to go forward with marketing.  i'm trying to contribute icos that has actual product or good developers. other way after a while marketing will be over and people will start to question that token.

I was investing in ICO's for the money, for a while it felt like guaranteed profits, now there are just too many to keep up with and too many tokens end up being cheaper shortly after they hit exchanges (BNT, SONM...).

Since there's too many ICO it's not impossible that some tokens will lose their value replacing by new ones which are much better, but if such project development were tokens came from and still on development there is stoll chances thay tokens demand once finish can pump. It jwill just take time.

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

This is only true for projects that are kind of shady, for projects that are serious the developers reveal their identities and you can check their background if you want, also people invest in icos for different reasons and not only for the profits some invest because they believe in the project and want to support it regardless of the profits.

Well I do not invest in ICO's but I am earning that particular coin. Because buying coins during its ico is really not a good choice for me because I am into short term trade. Look at the prices of the coins during its ico. The price of it is usually so high than when its coin will be sent to the known exchanges. And that is only good for the long term. As I've said I am earning those coins here in the forum. By joining signature campaigns and I might be fine.

I usually like to invest in ICOs because they will shoot up in value after they go live, but some of them present a real solution in a good way. Just make sure the team looks good and you're good to go.

1. ICO supports the value of cryptocurrency.

2. ICO introduces all investors to smart contract technology.

3. Active participation in ICO allows you to learn the various benefits of cryptocurrency.

4. Payment transaction in ICO is safe round the clock due to blockchain technology.

5. Most ICO companies have realistic mission to make a difference. Everex is a great example, goo.gl/E2NDF2 Alexi Lane and his team want to build a quicker and better remittance system worldwide.

6. ICO can be a scam, they say, but it's totally up to you to believe what companies are only fooling you and what companies are for real.

[syarifudin]

I think it depends on our beliefs about ICO, but i think not all ICO projects are hoax,few months ago i had some doubts about ICO but i tried to learn it and i decided to invest in ICO even though it is only small scale, and i got Profit from the investment.

[fredrickodo]

ICO is good for people or prospective investors to start. Most people invest in ICOs to sell tokens for higher prices after the ico or to be able to get tokens at the lowest price

[roomfirst]

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!

I always think twice before i invest on an ico. If the development is good, the teams are good and the roadmap and the future is good i will invest on it. You must know that if you invest an ico, you can't get profit instant after the ico finish. You must wait until the project doing good and it might takes several months and when it happen the price for each coin will increase.

This is the define normally in history about ICOs crowdsale, but in recently the price of ICOs usually drop down after listed to exchange in short time.
Unless some project spend more time for development before listing to exchange as QTUM.

[Radoyan1188]

Always I want to invest ICO. But know I can't invest in ICO. I don't have enough knowledge for ICO invest.

[mmhaimhai]

Im investing on ICO which I think have potential off course to make profit. I think almost all investors are doing thia for same reason as mine. Investing on ICO is quite profitable. Acquire tokens during ICO and hold them until the value pump and sell them.

[Xxmodded]

I think everyone who will invest has been thinking and investigating every ongoing project, whether every coin invested in the future will be bright, the hail has been thought out and investigated, and if you have never considered and just invested it is Stupid act.

Because of the early pump and profit. Personally, I dont like to invest in ICO's as most of them are scams or one hit wonders. They just wanna popularize the ICO and take all the money. But there are people who take advantage of it. One of my friends invested on KICKICO in the presale and it got a cool platform for other ventures to do crowd funding. Will see how that goes.

[princerepon]

Of course for some benefit. they offer some buying there coin for cheap price. people want some profit for what they invest. that's why investor buy coin between pre-ico and ico run time. Yes there is lot of ricks. but there is many trustful project out there also. before you invest your money some ICO you better re-check there hole activities.

Agreed, there's lots of potential, but of course there is plenty of negative figures in the community who abuse ICO's and tarnish the view of these.

Hopefully instead of requiring any regulation or auditory bodies stopping these scams, the community does with their wallets. The SEC however has made it very clear that they will be stamping down on these though.

I personally invest in ICOs because they give the best chances of doubling my money.

Its riskier, but should payout better, if you find the right ICO, and that is the big IF.
