That's what I care before I do any ICO investment.
  • Team, advisors and their crypto history
  • Early invevstors and their other ICO investments
  • Hard cap

 buying cryptocurrency is risky, and ICOs are riskier still. And as with all active investments in general, it is wise to never commit more money than you can afford to lose.

Apart from Developing Team, White paper, concepts etc....I Think one should also

1. Token Distribution Dates. Take a keen look on Pre-ICO sale date and its response in the market.
2. Keep Following ANN thread and bounties that also give you an idea of its popularity in Crypto-market.
3. Evaluate the Stage of the project and VC investments.

At the end, Be caution and do research by yourself, Sometime Trolls, Memes, FUDers, and bagholders spread misinformation and lies about speculative investments

1. Trusted developers.
2. Good road map
3. White paper is realistic
4. There is something that they'll support for the usage of that coin
5. Long term plans
6. Good marketing


But those are all the thing that influnce an ICO trustworthiness. What makes you tick, what triggers the feeling that you have to take part in that ICO?

Maybe the last investment can help you understand what affected you.


Yes trustworthiness is what an investor get into in an ICO. Maybe you can try to read again what I said because it's clear that it's on my number 1 list. When they have trusted developers the project will be trustworthy because those devs are experience to run a good project and ICO. They are not just crowdfunding and will runaway after funding that project by many investors.

It seems to me that people in ICO was attracted by the opportunity to earn on speculation. If the creation of bitcoin, the idea was to create another world, ICO has become a pipeline for the production of the pyramids. Though of course they must exist as opposed to bitcoin.

Yep!

As Vitalik Buterin says :

"it would be a mistake to underestimate the value of ICOs or to say that they are a bad thing. ICOs are interesting because they enable monetization for open source projects...what we are seeing lately is that people are taking this idea too far, and there are projects that issue a coin not because it makes sense to issue a coin but because they have a product they can sell and raise money. Without a coin there is no business model. This creates the imbalance of incentives in the community at the moment. [] Additionally, this market is still young and people still don't know how to differentiate between projects that will exist in the long term and those that won't."

I consider that the reasonable ICO potential based and evaluated on the white paper and other physical materials is the thing to start making the investments into.

I use the same instinct one uses in any business relationship. Does the entity have a track record? Beyond the white paper, does the vision address a true need? I tend to follow those who can show use cases. The new dragonchain announcements have me excited right now https://t.me/dragontalk

We all know that before investing we try to see the whitepaper, the team, the website quality, the idea, the social presence..

but in the end of the day, what makes you want to invest in a project?

What is the ticking edge for you?




yes in general everyone should always see it. if we believe that ICO has a good prospect in the future it will start investing.

Yes, we must make evaluation about the icos projects based on the fundamental aspects before we make investment into the icos projects, personality i made evaluation about the icos projects based on the function of ico in the future, the comunity of the projects will use the coins in the future, how long the developer of coins on the business and the maximal numbers supply of coins will be created by development team of coins.

A lot of people are looking to the instant profit after the token already listed in the exchange site that means they will dump it again. Because not a lot of people are wanna seeing from the technology aspect

There are a few factors I will look at.

I will analyse the idea, promises and realistic targets. From these, I decide whether I want to invest in the ICO.

Well investing in an ICO is high risk, high reward so people do it to find the next bitcoin, imagine if you managed to buy 1000 of the next bitcoin at the start of it's inception?

What I personally look for in an ICO is to see how robust it is. I check out the team, whitepaper, the concept, their website, their social media and research what people have been saying about them in general.

One that I am liking right now is Crowdholding, they matched all my criteria and their ICO is starting on the 1st of November.

https://ico.crowdholding.com

Hope this helps!

1. Jurisdiction. The company should be registered and the address should be provided for public.
2. Team. It should consists of suitable people and it size should be real to make that they claim.
3. Whitepaper. It should be correctly written and everything should be described in details.
4. Hard Cap. It should suit to the scale of project. It could even absent due to the size, ambitious and confidence of the project.
In addition with this, is that the manager handling this certain ICO is known and have a good carrier records in cryptocurrencies. Because some investors are  very choosy and they are also seeking ICOs that could give them satisfaction in return with their investment.

What makes me invest in ICO is because I have money. And the other factor is the mission vision and their promising team for the future of the Coin.

Well investing in an ICO is hard decision to make because if you check ICO ann pages they are claiming that they have the best project best team etc ever. We know that’s not possible so i try to avoid ICOs which are showing off a lot. What attracts me is the realistic ICOs with a good doable project. If I see a project like this i jump on it.
