Is it safe to participate in ICO's?

[Blackfurysm]

If you do good research before investing, I'm pretty sure you can avoid scams and invest safe.

Participating in ICO is investments. And your profit is defend on the developer so always check the trust worth of the ICO you are willing to invest to. And always be updated in the ICO you have participated to.

nvesting in ICO is safe but risky as any other investment. Do you hope that ICO in which you invested will be the next Bitcoin? Nobody can predict this. This is the risk that you are forced to pay for potential profits.

For me, ICO is a lottery. It is difficult to determine at the start that you will receive in the end. Developers are very active fund-raising period, but after ... One of my acquaintances somehow ventured and invested 50 etc and the company closed in a week. The currency was never returned to him

The risk is with the benefit, the investment ICO does have a lot of risks, but its benefits are also considerable, so I will invest in the ICO, so that it will get more return.

It is very safe to participate in ICO if it has it's in bitcoin talk. There are many smart guys here who can sniff Bad guy 50miles away. Make sure the ICO you want to participate in has a community. Community is good safenet.

For me it is not safe if you will invest in a certain ICO that you don't have any idea if it's legit. But there are some ways where you can participate without spending money, look for those ICOs that are conducting bounties and airdrops for their token. Spending time on promoting the ICO is a good way to participate, but of course research first on the ICO before joining.

I dpends upon the ICO...read the whitepaper carefully...research the project before investing...

It is safe to invest if you have read about the content of the project and you already know its a legit projects based on the people behind it and their background. Investing is good and also not all big ICO have a bounty so you really need to invest and trust if you want. Spend the amount that you can afford to lose.

I think they can be legit and they pay for sure when ico is ending but I think so many do not pay for it and they are paying for people only, but also safe to invest in it and participate because it's the only way I know how to earn a variety of altcoin bounties and you do not need to spend money when you join different types of campaigns here.

[madgtr]

Its an investment. If you do your research about the ICO's and try to avoid scams then yes. If you go in blindly then could lose money. Read the whitepaper carefully before you do anything.

[Dinct]

It is always better to do your own research and don't listen what people say mostly. Check their roadmap and team and if you believe in the project you can invest some, bit no to risk your budget too much.

[DamilolaB]

Although there are so many ICOs currently and an investor needs to be very careful before venturing into any. There are some that are safe and this can be known through the team involved. Their roadmap and whitepaper are also useful to know their safety.

[maestr00]

It's not the safest way to invest these days. You need to do your homework, before you choose something to invest (check out the team behind the project, their roadmap, solutions etc.) But you can make high profits from it aswell.

[jacquelinecr]

If you do your research and invest a decent capital it is safe a good project will most likely make you a decent profit.

[seek4dream]

Investing into anything is never 100% safe as you are giving money to another person and you lose control of it, ICO's are the same.

The only thing you can do is to research heavily, if you find anything that is a little shady, find another ICO, there are plenty around.

That is the point.
Don't invest into any ICO before you do any research.
Also, don't invest all your money into one project.
I only invest into 1 or 2 ICOs per month, with 10% of my ETH.

[Wish 107.5]

If you do your research and invest a decent capital it is safe a good project will most likely 2x or 5x. Beware of scams

Indeed, there are so many scam exist and if you explore your knowledge it will be safe for you. Thus, it is safe to participate in ICO's, it is just depends on how you examine before participating.

[Altcner]

Nowadays there are many ICO's developing in the crypto world.But it is our responsibility to understand the project and make a decision to invest in it or not.As there are no regulations on ICO's it is our own duty to check them for ourselves.It is easy to check whether an ICO is good or bad.Just check their whitepaper, team, and activity

[alt-fire]

any investment in crypto currency is a risk. and participation in the ICO is a triple risk.
it is possible to freeze your money, get a loss or a huge profit.

[TimtheYoutuber]

It is fairly easy to tell if a coin is a "scam" after doing a little bit of research. However, a lot of times contracts and coins are reviewed before launching so any vulnerabilities are usually found, however obviously some dont.
