It's safe if you do research about upcoming ICO's and be careful where you going to participate in ICO.

Depends on the ICO. Some may be scams, while others are legit. Gotta research the concept and the team before investing in it. Either way, buying into an ICO is an investment, therefore there will definitely be risks, but these can be downgraded if you do the proper research beforehand.

As long as ICO is good, it is safe to participate with ICO.
The first thing to consider to join ICO is the team, website, whitepaper, after knowing all and looking good, it's safe to join the new ICO.

Yes it is still, but you need be aware of the scams. Look for real projects like trade.io that is at ICO phase and almost ending soon. DIW token is another ICO that is upcoming and is promising, im in Telegram group and the support team is constantly helping the members of its community. Check the site here https://www.diwtoken.com/ |

Its safe if you find one that is going to work and one that has a supporting development team that will maintain it and make sure it will be successful.
Avoid scams by researching into ICOs.

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.
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. Dependent on the project, it's actually very safe. And when you get into a good-promising project, you can multiply your initial investment by 5 or 10 times. This is reality. The thing is seeking the best initial coin offerings always. |

I don't think it is ever 100% safe in any investment as you are putting money into someone's hands hoping they make the right decisions.
The most important thing is to just do as much research as you can. Look at the ICO, the whitepaper, the team and most importantly ask as many questions as possible. This forum is great as nearly every iCO has a thread that means you can directly communicate with the team.
My biggest advice is to just research hard, don't rush into investing and if you find anything negative about an ICO, move onto the next one. There are plenty of choices. Currently I only invest into ICO's that have a low market cap and a working product.

More often than not, I found some very good ICOs that were no longer accepting whitelist. |

If I have to be frank with you, ICO's are the future, in my opinion. Just read about all the profitability that they bring to so many individual traders and companies, at the same time. However, there are many deceptions, therefore, you need to be very cautious when investing in one. What I do, prior to participating in ICO's, I try to find credible and reliable information of real companies that have done the same thing - as they're interested in accumulating profit before all, I believe this would be a winning long-term planning strategy. For example, one company, that I can recommend, is Cointed - they have been dealing with numerous ICO's for a while and have taken the right decisions (at least in my opinion), which, in turn, has ended with their profit increasing. Check out their reddit thread, if you wish: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cointed/. There's a lot of valuable info there, you just need to read a lot! |

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".
Well Said /I think if people follow your suggestion most of us will not fall the ICO with fake info and that they want is to deceive people and gain quick profit |

Generally a solid project with popular people backing should able to survive for at least months or years to go on, excluding medias as they are paid. ICO are generally safe in terms of fund storage but their value are highly subjective cause it depends on how things are being rolled out back them, basically their effort secure your profits, do your research on their key members and of course the feasibility of the project itself being go in.

It can be safe but also can be scams. You need to look into them before you jump into them.

safe or not it depends on the project developer or I can not figure it out, next bitcoin? no, I'm sure there are no coins that can rival or replace popularity as the first crypto currency. I agree. It would depend on the ICO you're joining, if it has good plans to develop and a good amount allotted for its bounty, then I would say that it is a good to participate in it. It would also dictate how safe it will be since if the developers have a concrete plan for it, then it would amount to a safe investment. Actually, it would be better if you would try to find out background details that can help you determine if the project is legit and safe. You can also check the management of the project, because unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers all over the market that take advantage of ICO joiners. That is why many think that ICOs are scams. |

it depends from ico project because sometimes there ico that failed, let alone many ico out with promising projects, but not all of them are successful. which we must understand in participating in ICO. do not ever easy to believe the roadmap we have to believe anyone who participated in the ICO, whether there is a Legendary or Hero member who participated in his campaign because that could be our consideration to join in it |

The links below will take you to DIW which i believe is the next best ICO. I recommend you read the whitepaper and participate in bounty and whitelist program, definitely worth the check. Anything that keeps personal information safe and secure is great. Decentralized Security is what DIW is all about. https://www.diwtoken.com/ for the website. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2682890 for the bounty program. |
