Hi Guys,

Im pretty keen to understand more about ICOs and intend to invest in some.
ANY recommended ICOs and any advise how you guys determine whether is it a legit or Scam?

Thanks in advance.

ICO is one of the best way to publish and announce their new altcoin to be circulated in the crypto market in the future so the aim would be, conduct bounty campaign for their ICO and when the ICO is popular enough then the token sale will follow.
but not all of them bumped on success because the competition of the crypto in the market today is very tough that's why some of them will be tagged as scam or fraud and every bounty hunters will experience unfortunate bounty campaigns and ICOs that were being actually a scam.
some ICOs are legitimate but some of them are real and has the potential to be the next top altcoins in the near future.

Some ICOs are legit some are scams. Most of them are legit. You need to study an ICO before investing meaning whitepaper, team, do they have a product, etc.
Since trading those days are very poor and volatile i turned my attention to new exchanges and ICO profit.
I've checked new exchange like bitpaction.com
They add new coins daily and they have many events during adding.
Take a look here:

Crypto will make money in the world to determine whether the investment instruments are legal to go through the control of companies as ICO. Investigate, investigate and invest.

if you look at the ICO at 2017, many legit ICOs has become successful and some of their tokens/coins are well known by peoples.
but in this 2018, many ICO turned to be scam. this is so frustrating that some peoples just impersonate a successful ICO, and make
a scam ICO just because they want quick money.

There are indeed many scams in the ICO project, but there is no shortage of projects with broad prospects and development potential. This requires you to fully understand and make choices.

some icos are scam, but it is not looks like a scam so you need to be more careful.
on other hand, if you find a good legit ICO, your investment can give you multiple times of return.

There are some ICO's who are scam and some are of very high level.

I am in crypto world from August 2017 and learn a lot and still have to learn a lot.

Let me share few things with you which are very important.

How to find weather ICO is scam or not

There are few things which we can check to avoid scams.

1. Do check their whitepaper , if you don't have any technical knowledge then you can take help from google to comes to know about project reviews because there are many website who review about ICO's
2. Do check their Team members, try to find their social accounts and do some background about them and their past experience.
3. Check out their Roadmap, check out discussion of projects on bitcointalk,reddit,telegram and other social channels.
4. Check their partnership details. Try to contact their partners to confirm it.

As once you select that you want to participate in ICO, then keep these things in your mind.
1. No one from team member will contact you personally through telegram or other channels to contribute to you. Only ways of contribution are either through their website or that is mentioned on their website.
2. There are many fake admin profiles on telegram , they will personally message you and will give you contribution address to send ETH/BTC or whatever. Don't listen to them and ban them immediately.
3. Only trust official websites, Admin and team member.
4. you will get email from hackers , don't open them.
5. use 2fa and other securities to your accounts on exchanges.

Recently i get email from fake cryptopia exchange team that someone is trying to access my account. I click on that link and found that it was almost similar to real cryptopia link. So avoid these types of email.

If you have any question or need any help, leave your post below. I will try my best to help all of you.

I will not recommend any ICO but i will let you know that i will participate in Merculet ICO.

Kindly do your own research before you invest.

Thank you and all the best.

There are always two faces of everything.

Bad and Good.

Yes there are scam ICO's too and as well as very good ICO's too.

This is what, where experience is required to predict which one is scam and which one is genuine.

you can do some research before you invest to keep your self away from scammers.

All the best

It is depend on the project if the project will success they will give the benefits of the participants and the investors. but some other ico is really a scam they didn't give the benefits and the earnings of every investor and they disappear after the ico end.

It is a hard question, and probably the answer lies in governments. And it is always different obviously. It might be prohibited to launch ICO (for example) in the USA and at the same time is legal in Jamaica.

Even legit ICOs are failing nowadays so i prefer not joining any ICOs i will just buy the coin after the ICO is done because the price is much cheaper in those days.

Most of the ICOs are came out to develop their product. But there is no legit for ICOs, so some ICOs are scams. If there are legitimate for ICOs as well as crypto. Then the scams will be no more.

Hi Guys,

Im pretty keen to understand more about ICOs and intend to invest in some.
ANY recommended ICOs and any advise how you guys determine whether is it a legit or Scam?

Thanks in advance.
To put it simply, the ICO is an act of mobilizing capital from many investors for a project, such as a health or environmental project, but they do not have enough capital to build. and developing the project, they will open the ICO to raise capital
