Is it safe to participate in ICO's?

[jimimcome907620]

Certainly, you will have risks when joining to ICOs. Nothing is safe in investment. But I think you can control this risks by your knowledge.

Just like stocks, there are many risks in the investment. But if you are really interested in it, you should do enough research and learn enough information about it before you do any investment. Then you may be more confident.

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.

 Investing in ICO is a lesser risk as long as you read carefully there white paper and there profile also try to ask some friend about his opinion on a ico that you want to invest.Just be safe  and be secured your ethereum in a ico.Many ICO are now scam.

EXCELLENT NEWS. now it will definitely become safer, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a new model of decentralized fundraising, which he himself christened DAICO. By this time, he understands the combination of the best properties of ICO and the concept of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).

Yes! you can read about an ICOs or asked friends,but, as they say: No pain, no gain. If you feel you can accept a somewhat higher level of risk than in traditional currencies (or fiat currencies, in crypto-speak), then taking part in a promising ICO can be an interesting addition to your portfolio. To gain a good understanding of an ICO’s prospects, take into account the following sources of information:

1.Project website
2.Blog (on the website or other channels such as medium.com)
3.Whitepaper (usually on the website)
4.Social media: Twitter, Bitcointalk.org, Reddit, Steemit, the project’s Slack channel
5.ICO trackers and rating sites

I think not all ICO is safe, because there are many ICO scam and loss of investors, so if you want to follow ICO should be more careful, at this time I prefer trading than follow ICO because I doubt the number of ICO at this time

Out of the many ICO's coming out right now, we can't assure if it would be safe to invest on it.  Though there are few ICO's succeded, it would be more secure if you do a research and observe first the flow of the ICO before investing. Its success only depends on the project and the team who worked for it.

Generally speaking, participating or investing in ICO's are 100% not safe. Because every investment involves some level of risk. You do your research diligently on ICO's you are eyeing on investing. The more you know about a certain ICO, the more comfortable you get making good decisions. Learning is the key. It’s the best remedy for the fear of the unknown.

[EvaGC]

That depends on you. ICOs are not the problem, the problem is people not doing solid research and choosing what's best for them or what might actually have a future.

Look for a valuable product and a great team.

Check GLOBCOIN for a start.

For me,it's okey to participate in any ICO's bounty program available,you just have to follow what they expect you to do on that particular campaign.It's free coins at all specially the airdrops,so you have nothing to lose at all,as a matter of fact it's a very good investment because you can earn profit on it if the project become successful and their coins become valuable.
Anyway,i'm only joining their bounty program but to invest on it sorry i don't do that.

[Drizzlepistol]

it's safe if you do seach on ICOs very very carefully  before you participate in them. and you have to know exactly what projects can really bring to make our life better

[MeSoCorny]

Well it's an unregulated market. I would say you should read the whitepaper and look at their team. Try to check their backgrounds to see if they are legit. Also, make sure you understand completely the use of the tokens you are purchasing. I did one thinking they were like stock to fund the company. Turns out they were the payment for their final product once produced which meant they would keep the token supply at low cost. Was my own fault for not fully understanding before purchasing.

[cryptowomba]

I don't think any investment is safe into anything not just into ICO's.

The best thing you can do is to research a lot about the company, the team and the concept. The most important thing is to ask if they actually need a alt coin or are they just dong it for an ICO.

[david_019]

Safe is the thing that everybody here is always wanted,well, it is normal for us as a person. But remember to have a safe position is not always dependent from others but most of the time we are the one which are responsible for that. And also never expect that acquiring it from ico is guaranteed, as an investor what you always need to expect is the risk and not being safe. So the best way for to have a comfort action is studying the ico before participating and after making the decision to join always remember that you are risking your money. But have a good return if the project will succeed.

I think maybe because some ICO's is scam after the dev get the money of invest they run away but their some ICO's is legitimate and trustful maybe you should be aware in participating ICO you should do an investigate about their project and if it is profitable and successful. Study their whitepapers and roadmaps. Thankyou

[ternyabin]

Participation in the ICO is fraught with the risk of losing money. In ICO you can earn good money, so in this area there are so many scammers lately.

Investing in ico project I think it's quite safe if we first study the ico project. Do not rush to invest in ico projects. Learn the whitepaper and roadmap of the project is very important. And investing in ico really benefits you.

There are always high risks when you invest in ICos, but ICos will make you more profit , even x5,x10 your fund. You should research ICO you want to invest carefully. You can watch how its community is active, what its application is , and developement team is good.

[Goodsamaritan]

The question that matters is, is it profitable to participate in ICOs. safety comes after that because it is about your security on your token. If an ICO you have participated is not safe then it would be a waste of time and that would risk your profit. Some are safe and some are not and this is a fact but you could lessen the factor of being scammed by learning and researching first before your participate. Mostly, bounty manager could tell because some values their positive trust that they make sure before they accept to handle it, it must be legit and safe.

[crenfrosck]

I think that it is very safe if you DYOR them and you're happy with their company. On the other hand, no one can guarantee that nothing would happen to you even when you thought there is nothing to lose, so you should be prepared for every scenario.
