Welcome to the crypto world.

I suggest you read the announcements (Altcoins)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

You will find many projects' information. Find the one you like and think it has potential to grow your money.
For me, I invest in Change bank and KickICO.

Good luck

The best thing to do is to check the ANN thread for projects. Analyze projects and invest in one which you think will be successful!

many good projects here, if you want to invest in ico, then you should analyze and study the project.
from whitepapers, teams, market opportunities and more.
if you choose ico wrong, you can get a failed project may also be a scam project.
so before you invest, then you should understand its risks.

Investing in ICO's is just like any other investment. You need to do your research.

These are the qualities i look for before investing into an ICO:-

- Strong team - Both in development team and also the CEO's / marketing (People focus too much on the developers which is important but not everything. no point having a great team to create something, if nobody can advertise 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?

Finally
- Good concept and catchy name - A good ethos and a name that makes them stand out. Personally i would avoid anything that is something "coin".

If you are looking to spread your cash over a few coins, i would look into pre-sales as you can get more bonuses for your money.

This is very useful, i will use this when i look into pre-sales and ICO's

In regards to Crowdholding, I have heard about them and they seem interesting. Interested to see how their ICO goes as according to their website they have 170% of their target in pre-sale

Buy a real altcoin.. not a scammy ICO scheme "token".

ICO=SCAM

ICOs are high risk, make sure you do solid research and start low. Don't go throwing all your funds into a single one.

Diversify a bit, why not invest say 50% in one or some of the top 10 established crypto coins, 25% in newer coins that are listed on a popular exchange like bittrex then maybe 12.5% in two ICOs you choose.

Totally agree!

Do your homework. And keep it small and simple as you learn.

Hi Virgin,

Check this topic:


The second ICO our of Korea is coming soon (BOScoin was the first). DAYLI Financial Group (formerly Yello Finance Group) is preparing to launch a coin called ICON. The site was opened on the 2nd. Of all things, the Korea version of the Whitepaper attracted me the most, and after reading through, I felt the company was well prepared.

ICON is an interconnecting blockchain network. ICON can connect independent blockchains without the use of additional third-party intermediaries. Various blockchains can communicate with each other through the ICON platform. By connecting siloed blockchains, ICON aims to become the largest blockchain in existence.

ICON tokens are named ICX. ICX is used as an intermediary currency when transacting amongst the various blockchain networks. As an inter-chain blockchain, the ICON platform will be able to host other ICOs on the ICON platform.

The ICON ICO will be the largest ICO in Korea. Overall, ICON aims to raise $44M over the span of 2 weeks. The ICO starts on October 20th, 2017 and ends on November 3rd, 2017. ICON will distribute 400,230,000 ICX which can only be exchanged with Ethereum (ETH). 1 ETH has a conversion rate of 2,500 ICX (1 ETH = 2,500 ICX).

You said you wanted to buy an Altcoin.. then you said you wanted to buy an ICO / Presale.

Which is it then ?

Thanks everyone for your responses!

Since you are a beginner in the altcoin and in the entire cryptocurrency world, it is best that you first study it in general, meaning go first with the existing altcoins that are already traded. I think jumping directly into ICOs might be risky for you. But if you have received good advice then it is your choice. Try studying some ongoing ICOs such as Atlant and Easymine.

[asanezz7]

You should invest at Electroneum with Duncan Logan onboard who's the CEO of RocketSpace. The ICO is live now with 908.7288 ETH & 48.7467 BTC raised in just 2 hour 20 mins.

You can visit http://electroneum.com if you are interested

There are many choices but you should do your own research before jumping to one.
Nearly every news and articles are a paid reviews nowadays.

LOL, please don't buy into ICO's atm, it's all hype... The vast majority of these coins have copy & pasted code bases with recycled ideas tried many times in the past. I've yet to see an ICO that makes me interested enough to buy into it, and I've been around for years.

Simply buy them after they are on the exchange, there's no reason to send money to someone for unfinished unproven technology when you can get it after the fact for a lil more expensive and still make great profit without taking 100% risk on what ever you put into the coin.

If you like gambling though, enjoy. I'd rather put all my money on red... at least I'll get some "free" drinks out of it.

At this point people are simply buying ICO's for the "quick flip" and the actual coin/token beneath the ICO really doesn't matter all that much. Like I said, it's all hype. The vast majority of ICO coins coming out right now will be lower than what you purchased them for in 2 years, that I can pretty much guarantee.

Electroneum. Especially now that you're new to the game; they try to create the most user-friendly and easy-to-use crypto, with the aim of making non-technical persons owners of cryptocurrency. That gives them a window to learning more technical stuff, while being involved.

Take some time and REALLY read through everything that is suggested. It is a LOT of money.

If you have any questions feel free to pop by the telegram: https://telegram.me/electroneum

Not 1 ICO has ever accomplished anything in the real world.
Yet somehow they are an "investment" opportunity ?

So let me get this straight.. they are a highly popular investment yet none have done anything ?

The biggest is a scam.. ETHEREUM.
What does that tell you ?
What has it accomplished ?
Market price manipulation and then it was morphed into an ICO coin cloning platform for profits catering to the scam supporting losers community here we call "crypto"
In other words the outside world gove 0 fucks about ETH the ICO scam coin.
And *THAT* pajeets is your benchmark for "ICO" success.

Yeah Investards.. you really are fucking smart.
Good luck spending your REAL MONEY buying BITCOIN so can buy shitcoins on Poloniex for ROI's.

Try hero token ICO its promising

You shouldn't just invest in any ICO, but you have
To look critically at what the project seeks to
Achieve and solve.the dev team and road map
I personally think CarTaxi is a great project and
And they are already a success to reckon.An
Actual project already in existence and full operation.
They also have cool discount for their pre-sales
