Is it safe to participate in ICO's?

[Miz]

It is good to participate in the ICO because it is now the best way to join new coins and with this the people are now getting good profit and in the near future the cryptocurrencies will change the people lives it is good to join the new ICOs and wait for the future so many altcoin are doing well and the people are interested to hold the cryptocurrencies.

Is as safe as going out in the street every day, the question is if you care to understand traffic and to look both ways when you cross the street. Safety is on your side.

This is too simplistic a look at these things. In fact, in order to get a good profit when you invest in new projects you always need to very well study the project from all sides.

I think it is difficult to determine the security zone, but there are several points to which you should pay attention. The first and most obvious criterion is the presence of a prototype or working project (application, service, and so on). In early 2017, many projects went to the ICO only with beautiful promises. But the current market requirements are concrete achievements, for example, code or alpha-version, which will allow to assess the team's ability to develop the project and realize the promised. Having these developments, it is much easier to find financing - when people see the project in work, even if rough, they are more likely to invest money.

Now many projects are trying to make money quickly, while others are more serious about their intentions. Look at the technical document of the project and try to evaluate their product, does it make sense what they are trying to offer? Is there a market for servicing this product? Do your own investigation and only then make a decision.

I think it's not very safe. You can invest your money in a project that has no prospects. Such projects are actually very much. More than people can imagine.

ICOs can have scam we should always investigate the ICOs before we invest or join its campaign

[Jlv]

It's depends on the ICO's you want to be joining or participate, that' why before getting in we should always investigate or make a research on it to avoid loosing our money in just a click.

[eolitic]

of course it is safe to participate in ICOs, it is not safe o invest your money without being sure in the project you are investing. there are lots of scam projects, but it doesn't mean that all of them are not safe to participate. it's like there are fair people and fraud, but it doesn't mean that every person will cheat and do you harm. i highly recommend you make you invest only after accurate research you'll have done about the project.

Its very safe to participate in ICOs, however, not all ICOs will succeed in the ,market for various reasons.some will be a sucess while others will fail, its upon you to research well on an ICO before taking part in it. if you get a good ICO then it will reward you well

[Ethreyes]

Some ICO is still safe...  Though there are a lots of ICO emerge which is real but we can't take the facts there are a lots which is scam...  And scammer is everywhere...  We cant predict what is the motives of other ICO...  But still we need to gave them a chance to success ....why not after all even there are a lots of ICO but still the main purpose  of it is to help cryptocurrency to establish until all people recognize it...  This is just a part of the development and all of us would need to expect that there a lots of advantage also that this ICO will bring to us... But in the end the main goals of it is to help crypto to gain its popularity but we need to be careful always to ensure that all of our efforts and time will not be wasted...

[beehimneff]

In any ICO accurately unsafely to participate! Scammers do not sleep! Before you participate, you need to carefully study the project!

[onesalt]

Not all of them. There are many scam ones, and the design of the website or the names in the team does not give any clue about you should trust them or not. You should make a detailed research about the project before investing.

[Derus-93]

For me its still not safe at all . There are to many scam ICOs and there is no system which really try to control them . All you can do is spend a lot of time in research and hope.   

[sneakycoin]

Of course there are multiple risks of participating in an ICO...But be patient if you don't want to be cheated...From my point of view, reading, not skimming, the white paper of the ICO is the most effective and easy way to check out whether it's a scam.

[casternetwork]

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.

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 with your opinion. You are right, a secure and unsafe ICO depends on the project team, if they want their project to succeed, they will continue to develop it. If they do not want their projects to live they are scammers

[rudyrista123]

It all depends on what your definition of is safe, most ico will be discarded below the ico price. Do your own research as usual and do a lot of research.

[mercer007]

I have been participating ICO but i never meet any trouble about it ,ICO maybe successful or not I'm still glad that I've been part of it. and before i joined ICO i see to it that it is not a scam so the effort won't be useless..

I have listen much about ICOs and listen about them that how worth investing are them but I prefer joining bounties and earning free coins than buying coins that is not sure if it will have value in the future. Better to just spend time and effort than to spend some amount. But it will always depend on the people that are ready to invest and expect to return high profit from it.

Safe is a word that I don't think would go along with ICO. ICOs are like the riskiest of them all. With most of them failing and the current ones barely surviving I don't think ICO is a safe bet. If you have the will to forget about your investment after buying into an ICO only than should you invest.

Yeah you are right but if it is high potential with trusted team than i wouldn't say it's safe because the more you take risk the more you earn good and percentage of profit is a way too high and participation in any of ICOs bears at least the minimum risk, and taking into account there is the increasing amount of those ICOs, I'd rather doubt there would be any great ICO that may overcome Bitcoin, at least, not in the nearest future.
