What makes you invest in an ICO

[Ilegendph]

For me, ICO is a good long term investment knowing that eth and other altcoin start from being ICO. The tokens starts from about $0.1 and can grew upto $100/coin for about a year or two and now thats promising for me. To know if the tokens will have a value in the future a read their white paper, I also know their market and what this token can do that will make it in demand just like in the case of bitcoin. Ofcourse this type of investment is risky but I see it, it is really rewarding after you gain from it.

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.

thats right, i think look for ico who has a project and a realistic idea to doable, for example CarTaxi they have a project to help driver problems, when you are have problems with your car like a strike, then you can open CarTaxi and ask for help to towing your car, I think it's realistic project to do

To some extent, I give some preference to projects based on an existing business (unless some real blockchain use case). I also like ICO who raises money for countries suffering from foreign currency shortage. I have a feeling that those countries will let cryptocurrencies prosper

With ICO's the earning possibilities were high and I give importance as an short term investment. With ICO's we get a better discount on earlier investment. While the token gets listed to the exchanges, what we got as discount itself will get valued big. Very few ICO's go as scams due to the failure of the developers.

1st : Team behind the scene
2nd: Project or Idea
3rd: Whitepaper
4th: What kind of business approach. is actually invest with future ?
5th: Website and social m
i think this is the most important.

Along with things such as the quality, effort and business planning that has gone in to an ICO, but also the credibility, transparancy and overall ability to create change from their new concept is vital to a successful ICO. It is becoming increasingly common for new ICO's to be appearing from all backgrounds now - and that isn't a bad thing at all. It is however important to treat any potential investors with the respect they deserve. Afterwall, trying to make "quick money" is something that ICO's will become less known for towards the end of 2017 and into 2018 - as the quality, standards and concepts become more thought through.

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?

Of  course first the team because they are the one who put life into the project or they are the mind, heart and soul of the particular project. Second, it's website tells us all about them because all of the information we need to research like, whitepaper, roadmap, dev team and it's mission and vision is displayed on their page. Third, the availability or visibility of the whole project and team on social media or streaming sites. An example for this project is SPECTRE.ai it has all of the characteristics that I am looking for in an ICO. I can clearly see that this project is a success because it is promising. It also has a unique project idea that is eyeing to help traders from greedy brokers.

The most important thing is proof that the team can develop an app.

All of the other stuff can be lies or easily faked.

Upon learning about the ico's details, the devs, whitpaper, and everything about it, one of the things that somehow make me lean on investing in the said ico is when i see potential for a long term investment and whether the project is realistic or not; like we can practically use it almost everyday.

[xbl1008]

It is for the sake and chance of having a good profit early investors will profit big if they are the ones who vested early on ICO's, but most of all investors look for what would cope their interests and what would fill their capacities to do and bet on the ico

[ICOIntel]

For investing, I look for a team with serious founding experience and strong technical skills, combined with a large market and little competition.

[jack107]

Idea, proof of concept, team, founders, backers, and coverage. My 6 pillars of belief when it comes to ICO's. For example, the Founder of Civic has a solid background.

The recent example of my pillars are UnikoinGold. Solid idea, vision, and team. Proof of concept is already there and backers are even more incredible. Read into them.

[Boomber]

The concept of the project is interesting and different than the others
Management team has experience and expertise in the field
The product is needed and has a larga market share

Even though if the concept, team and everything is good, sometimes the ICO goes as a scam. This happens during the lack of funding and when the developer team doesn't get fixed to the schedule and work accordingly giving more trust to the entire investors of the project.

[IamAltcoinfan]

I am always doing investigating about company or registered organisation for the Ico and proven track record or previous projects .Then I will look into team and their LinkedIn profile preferably and also I will look for escro and the most important solution providing by particular project how much scope is having for the particular solution . Till now I got some good profit from some proven dice Ico. there is one more team domraider doing good recent ico.

[pinoyden]

There's another reason why people makes invest on an ICOs is for getting fast profit. Because participating in ICO there will be a percentage of bonuses on a particular week or day. It's around 40%-50% some even give 100% bonus. Nahh, when ICOs end the exchange place will release and sell it.

exactly!  this is the main reason why many people are keeps on investing on an ico. but not all ico are legit and there are hundreds and thousands of them poping like a mushroom and keeps on scamming people thats why its hard to spot a real and promising ico these days. id rather invest on something like in bitcoins or altcoins than putting my money unto something risky.

[innoachukwu]

Its all about helping a good company raise fund to startup, then getting in early to make a substantial profit in the future.

[Dolarin]

Potential for huge profits of course! Despite the huge risks, such investments can give you huge profit.

[michellee]

of course to make money for a long term but if I can sell it in short time and I can make big profit then I will sell it. but the most reason is because I want to trying to be bagholder from the tokens. I know its difficult and tempting especially if the price is suddenly gets increase in the market but I am trying so hard. at least if I want to sell, I am selling in small amount to take profit and I still keep the rest of the tokens. its good to be investor in the ICO but we need to know the details of each ico so we don't get trap in the market.

[Skylake]

the roadmap, the future investment, and sometimes the idea of creator is a brilliant.
for me invest at ico is a unique way, we dont know the developer will do it or not, but sometimes we need more than 2year to gget big revenue like ethereum.
