Pre-ICO bonuses

[SUDARMONO]

yes I really agree with your opinion, something excessive is usually less good, as investors do not expect to be 100% if in the end the results are just useless, we better hope a reasonable profit between less than 40% profit is enough for I.

[Flodner]

I think Bonuses are good as a marketing step
Then if product/service is great, the price will raise anyway

[Flomo]

yes, bonus is one strategy for ico to succeed, high bonus will attract many investors.
And not all ico who give 100% bonus will discard some coin after ico success and cause low rate.

Giving 100% bonus is not necessary, it sometimes enough to have some or half of it, Half will already attract investors especially if the project provides a special threatment to the early investors.

I think it is a decent strategy as long as the % is reasonable. Just bought some Bankera today and got a cool 20% bonus. Sometimes pays to be punctual to these ICO's!

[Kocret02]

Giving a bonus when pre ico is a good strategy, where the strategy is enough to make the project a success. Do not be surprised if a lot of projects that compete give very big bonus when doing pre-ico or ico take place.

Yes, most ICO project today has its Pre-Ico bonuses were it is a good idea. A good strategy indeed to invite more investors that will support also their project.

I think pre-ico bonuses is a great marketing strategy to attract investors to buy in asap and reward them for being early birds backing the project. Of course, the bonus amount should not be massive but attractive enough to make potential investors make the leap. From what I have seen, many projects are giving 20 - 30% bonuses and the rate drops from there as it closes in on ICO.

While 100% bonuses might indicate a risky project, I think it really boils down to the concept of the project, the team and how promising it is.

Well, in some cases almost everybody bought during the highest part of the bonus, thus pretty much making it equal in terms of % of coins you will get, to what you would have gotten if there was no bonus.

[asepsetiawan1990]

I agree with you. Pre-ICO is a moment that gives a bonus so large due to a relatively short time. High risk to be taken for investors. Accuracy in making decisions becomes one of the factors for success in investing

[Bes19]

It is actually part of their marketing strategy. I've seen an ICO with 100% bonus and their project was actually successful. I think they give 100% to attract more investors which is quite good and it's working coz most ICO who goves 100% bonus was all successful.

[LakeBTC]

LakeBanker's ICO offers just 2% of our tokens in our pre-sale. The price is very low, with a potential for 1300% profit if the main sale goes well.

But since it's such a small percentage of the coins, there shouldn't be much impact on the price once our token is tradable.

You can check out LakeBanker's white paper here.

Absolutely agree. I think yes, early adopters should be rewarded, but there must be a different way. Maybe they can think of better incentives other than ICO bonus which is crap. 5% or 10% is fair enough but to have more than 20% is just a really bad deal.

Zero fees. Pool of 1% that all 1st day investors share. Priority transactions. Whatever. Just stop ICO bonuses.

[kevin1234a]

Some kind of early bonus is completely acceptable in my opinion. It's a reflection of non crypto-business where early investors are always going to have a higher incentive and lower buy-in cost. Think about it, the people buying at the end of the ICO already know they're buying into hot ICO that's raised X and have that security, it's a given that people investing without that security should have some kind of reward.

That said, for me 45% is the total max before I get suspicious.

I remember the Ark ICO a year ago and 70 percent bonus on LISK deposits the first week   Those who invested that first week should be hell of a rich right now   According to icostats.com and their "roi since ico" tab the current profit is 24932% or 249 times and with that 70 percent ico bonus that would be 423 times more!!! Uncredible!     https://icostats.com/roi-since-ico

[coinzoid]

I thought icos with pre-ico bonuses more than 20% turn out to be a scam project. However, above example explains how ARK investors live their lifes now

Seems like we take so many risks at the time we make an idea of investment and waiting for really long time, with believe that our money will increase double, triple or hundreds time
The more important now is how can we make a proper decision when having too much ICO's new/sale/funding now??
Btw, congratulation you because of profits you got from your investment, such a lucky guy

Hi

In most of ICOs, investors can get some bonuses, if they invest sooner. In my opinion these bonuses not only don't cause the ICO to be successful, but also cause the ICO to fail. In some ICOs there is up to 100% bonus.

If I see that there are some people have gotten 100% bonus in pre-ICO, I don't invest in that ICO, Because they will dump their coins after crowdsale and cause the price to fall.
 Do you agree with me? What are your opinions?

Good point. There are people invest in icos specifically to get those bonuses. It would be nice to watch the ico grow and be stable but i agree. Most of these investors get these bonuses for extra money when they sell the tokens they get right after or a few days after the ico's launch.

The bonus system is a good marketing strategy but bad for business in the long run!

a 100% bonus incentive needs to be questionable because how do they maintain the value of their coin when there is excess supply

If I see that there are some people have gotten 100% bonus in pre-ICO, I don't invest in that ICO, Because they will dump their coins after crowdsale and cause the price to fall.

I do agree with you and I have no problem with bonuses but 100% is outrageous and will gift investors who will have nothing to lose when they get back their initial invested money and will care less when they dump their tokens as its all profit for them.

Right, some bonuses are good and so as some comes with red flags
