How many bought ETH just to join an ICO ?

[Sungoku]

I think to join and invest in ico not too much if still do not have experience.
 1-5 eth is enough. Good luck

[JohnSnowSand]

Guilty as charged, ETH by itself does not really excite me .

[Cnut237]

I also think that many people bought ETH purely for participating in ICOs. And this is a reason for its rise, as well as a reason for it falling during the big ICOs when people complain that the network is clogged and can't take the volumes.
ICOs aren't really the purpose of ETH, but I do think it's the driving factor in price at the moment.

Each ico has a different price so you have to know the price of ETH to buy ico first.

Till now, I usually exchange part of my Eth holdings for the selected ERC-20 tokens.....but soon, I may need to add some Eth to continue investing in the good ICOs that will be out there

I think to invest a certain amount of ethereum on a project do not do much if you still do not really understand,
and choosing a good ico is very important

Yes! That's exactly what I meant by 'Good ICOs'......I am referring to the ones that will 100% satisfy all requirements in the due diligence check list (project idea, feasibility, team, panel, distribution %, lock-in tokens, price, bounty program.....& many more)

I have bought ETH to get involved in an ICO, but I think people who are doing this should be very aware of the price of ETH and how it can greatly affect your investment.

I bought a double digits worth of ethereum and i got a decent return worth hundreds of ethereum from ico, But it depends on your self how many the amount of ethereum that you will afford to lose in there if the project gonna fail in the future. Because this was a pure speculation. 50% Yes:50% No

I hve bought some Ethereum, but not to participate in some ICOs. I am going to hold them.
The most times I invest in ICOs with my Bitcoins!

I would rather wait for the tokens to come to exchange to buy them directly than buying during ICO.

I only bought a few eth (less then 10) to join in some very hot ICO projects such as Kyber, generally, I would like to buy some cheap tokens just after the ICO is over since there are some panic investor or bounty hunters selling their tokens below the ICO price.

                    Well in my case i don't also think if somebody do this, but I bought ETH jsut for my own sake and not for ICOs existing, maybe it is also tempting to invest ETH in ICOs but just like the others keep saying it is better to wait till it comes to exchanges before I will buy coins directly. I jsut also let my ETH sleep for a while, and been reserving it just in case I will be in need someday, but hopefully not.

Well this year ICO using smart contracts and getting a lot investment were a showtime to eth, since its required those currencie to work with the smart contracts, some person told me that bitcoin can easy get those feature and incorporate more value as well, but eth is high due to the several ICO that keep coming.

yes,

now the most of ico's are overpriced if they are not scams.

looking at tokens after ico is a good idea because price is more cheap than ico price

[kandholabhavna]

Most of the ETH i had bought to buy different ICO's, but I also saw the opportunity of ETH being used by the masses to buy different ICO's and so bought some to sell when the price is high. Now I am doing the same and buying CFI, so when the masses adopt it, I will sell them.

But the people who are all invest on ICO will not profitable one every people. However, most of the ICO giving option to buy the tokens with the ETH alone not much with bitcoin since it is first and costliest crypto.
I am now waiting to get some tokens which I bought with the btc only. Now eth value also slightly increasing.

i would say the main catalyst for bitcoin's rise this year was people buying bitcoin to buy ethereum to buy icos.

if there hadn't have been any icos then bitcoin would be half or less of its current price and ethereum would be 20-30 bucks.

I think you're right. Although since ETH hasn't produced a single popular DAPP or been adopted by anyone of importance the price might have remained even lower.

[NoiseBoy]

This is basically me, all the time. I only hold eth when I'm in between ICO positions.

But then, that's really what Ethereum is intended for. Eth wasn't envisioned as a currency or a store of value; rather, it was indended to serve as the gas that fuels smart contracts. ICOs are just that--smart contracts. And they raise money for appications that will eventually run on numerous smart contracts. That fact that ethereum has inflated so much is largely speculation; the real value in eth is in its ability to run the EVM.
