Among blockchain projects new Google and Amazon will necessarily appear.Only now before it will be possible to understand who it will be  many will lose money on projects that do not even have illusive chances of success. just try it!

Right now there are many ICOs coming out, is it really safe to participate in any of it and spend that much? In participating ICOs I have high hopes that these coins could be the next Bitcoin or other currencies that are really going up in the market.
It is safe if you have come to participate into some successful and legit icos because there are some icos out there that are just a scam and some others are fail that is why the image of an icos now are not that good because those past incidents that a lot of people losing money because of investing in some icos that are just a fail. It is hard for them because they have earn it for a long period of time then they just want to increase their money so that they invested it in some icos but the result  they just get scammed. So be careful when you choosing ico.

I think ICO is not really a scam at first, they are projects, they were made to earn more profit and this ICO will only be a scam if there were problems encountered during the time it is active fr example if that project will not be succesful, if the dev didn't continue the project, if there were problems with the supply of the coins and many more. ICO's are safe to participate we just need to know what ICO will succeed and we will not be what we called "Scam".

Of course it's not safe, now there are a lot of dubious projects. I advise you to choose very well to study it, try to choose something really working! It is also worth paying attention to what team it consists of, whether or not someone from the team had a positive experience with ICO. And so advice to look at the project https://www.algory.io/ is a set of powerful and multifunctional tools focused on the cryptocurrency market and designed with trading efficiency in mind. Now everyone is trading in a crypto currency, I think this is a very modern ICO and undoubtedly relevant!
Yeah someone looking for a way to make money in crypto should probably get off the market, this is one of the most volatile markets in the entire world and if you are not ready to accept that move on and let other people that are willing to accept the risk to invest their money.

Short answer is no. Now, there are many types of ICOs and some of them are reasonably safe. The main risk associated are scams, projects that are not really possible, regulatory risks and pure missmanagement and lies.But, there is profit in many legit ICOs. Just chose wisely.

The bottom line for every investor who is intrigued by the blockchain technology and its derivatives is to study the project along with every documentation, and research thoroughly about the development team and the practical use case being proposed. Moreover, the more public technophiles identifying with a particular project, the more favorable the project would be. Investors should use informed decision to motivate their investments, and ensure to participate in ICOs that have juristic providence.
Yes there are large number of ICO’S which you have good ideas and have great ideas and are very interesting but be remember that there are some ICO’S which are fake and have no serious projects they are just making people fool and can get money through money.

I prefer only to spend your time and not your money in ICOs. If one invest in an ICO there is only a slight chance that the ICO will be successful. Also, learning to earn tokens will lead to learning to manage your time and money.

Participate in the ICO is very risky all the time..Some are scams and some are not successfull..Always research what is good ICO before investing...Don't put your money in one basket..

Basically ICO is profitable for investors but there are many developers that leave their Coin after the end of ICO. But not all developers are like that.  There are also many developers that prove their responsibility to their investors as done by XCPO developers. Even the price of XCPO is increase significantly in Cryptopia and mercatox.  The investors of XCPO also get more profit by run masternode, they get more XCPO by doing that.

Yes it is generically they are providing advertising groups for their COIN/TOKEN to have a more profitable ways through the internet. Almost all ICO's are successful and they profit more than expected. So all the investors benefit from it too. Not only you can be with ease and the coin creators literally provide exposure all you have to do is to watch the price to jump high and sell for the expected price or profit you want.

As I posted in another thread:

"Step 1: As with any investment, don't invest money you can't afford to lose.
-Even if the company is legit, crypto is stocks on steroids and are very volatile and unpredictable
-You could win or lose big so be prepared for both
-It is NOT gambling as you can learn to pick a winner with proper preparation. It's like playing cards and legally (and more easily) being able to count them.

Step 2: Make sure the company is REAL and not a scam.
-Pictures of staff members
-Staff members linkedin accounts
-Pictures of staff members together
-Videos of staff members/interviews
-Pictures of office
-Office location (research address)
-Social media presence of company
-Dig around the website...does it look legit? Is the English native-level?
-Email them-do they respond promptly and in English?
-Google CEO/CTO/developers/marketers and found out who they are and what they've done.
-Do they have a working product already?
-Do they have funding or investors already?
-Does it give you a good or bad gut feeling?
-Think to yourself...if I had 10,000-20,000 dollars, could I recreate everything that is on their website, forums, etc? If so, beware...

Step 3: Research the project
-Whitepaper (clear plan and goals, well written, not just a bunch of buzzwords)
-Roadmap (reasonable and clear)
-Is there demand for what they are doing?
-Is their technology proprietary or unique?
-Are they well-respected and connected in the industry?
-Is their advisory panel well-respected and connected?
-Search them on forums like this one, and find out the general consensus on their project, its viability
-Search their legal team and contact them if possible beforehand
-What will they use your money for?
-How will they make MONEY?
-How will you be able to make money when they make money?
-Do you feel passionate about what they are doing?

Step4:
Invest or don't invest based on all of the above."


Anyway, worst case scenario is you lose your money, so I don't think "is it safe or not" is really the right question. A better question might be "will you get a return on your investment".

When more and more people are profiting from the ICO, it's time to be wary, because nothing can always be profitable.

We really cannot guarantee a successful participation of ICO's. You have to do your own research and analyze if the project is really worth investing because at the end of the day all this business is about risk.

It depends.

Always check the team behind it and the legal of the project.

If it sounds legit, then it is safe.
