ICO Is Really A Good Investment or Not?

[YongMaTheMagicCom]

Sometime its good for investing and sometime not.
when it's a good ico, absolutely profitable for investor and developer.
The advantage for investors who invested on ICO before the coin is launched to the free market is the price given will be cheaper. And usually when the coin is launched the price will jump up to more than 5x the price of ICO. This is what makes investors enjoy this ICO.
For the developers they will get financial assistance to accelerate their projects that they develop, so that can be enjoyed by many people.
Behind the profits there must be disadvantages that will come. Because ICO is investing in nature then we spend money and give to third parties and the money may not be used according to the agreement when ICO is carried away without any explanation that is clear or more familiar with SCAM.
Several things become the problem of SCAM when the ICO is not clear project, the purpose of collecting funds made by developers and teams that are not clear or not plastered. Usually this will be explained in the whitepaper.

It's totally depends on which ICO you're going to invest. Check Background, investors and team. I am not sure just a good whitepaper impact on user.

[junjunsalsalani]

If the ICO is success then yes it is a good investment if its a failure well its a bad investment.

[dwnrck]

Well obviously investing in ICOs is possibly the riskiest investments possible. Fortunately, we can allows do our due diligence and gather information before deciding.
I've been reserving a part of my portfolio for these kinds of riskier investments. Currently i'm investing in AppCoins (whose ICO just opened), Raiden, OmiseGo.

I always stay away from the more scammy looking ICOs such as Monetha and others...

If you are confused then hell no! There is no way you will make money. My advise to you is to get a hang of crypto and ICO's and try to learn about FA. ICO's are all about Fundamental analysis. I have seen people who have had made millions from it and also loose millions.

ICO Is really a good Investment but like any other investment venture, you need to find the "right" ICO to invest in. There simply those who wont turn in any profit to you. Many ICO are scam so you have to be careful before dedicated to join ICO. I suggest you to join in a ICO that you really understand the project, know the team members and check their roadmap to make sure everything are legit.

Absolutely IS. As far as I know - it's quite usual that ICO's make x3-5 in first weeks, only things you should do - is to pass KYC(in some cases) and to have money to invest; another point is trading with the right timing, it also matters a lot.

But with the price of eth beeing so high atm , does it make sense to buy in on an ICO?

I mean lets say You get 1000 token for 1Eth.

few weeks ago that was 350 bucks for 1000 token
now its 700 bucks for 1000 token.....or do they give out more tokens when the eth price is rising?

Yes, it can be a very good investment if you choose a promising project. Now a lot of useless projects and to find something profitable you need to spend a lot of time analyzing the team and ideas.   
I like this list to analyze:

For an ICO to be a good investment you must put some time into research. There are a lot of scams out there, but so many are very easy to identify. Such as the level of risk. I, for example, would think twice before putting my money into a project that doesn't have a solid product yet. Also checking the advisors background can give you more confidence in the project and I read somewhere that a simple research on their LinkedIn profile can make you easily identify a scam.

That said, I will suggest you to take a look into the AppCoins ICO, which started yesterday. They are backed by a 200 million users app store and have a very interesting project.

Although the identity of devs team is one of the most important you need to check before invest in ICO project, but you forget the devs don't guarantee your investment will have profits after investment. No projects guarantee profits in whitepaper, just introduce project and roadmap, they don't mention any obligations related to profit, therefore, even if you know them, you still can not do anything about them.

ICO is actually not some particular physical matter. There are different ICOs in terms of both procedure and project. You should treat every single ICO as a specific matter that can be attractive to you or not, just like successful at the end or not.

[lelou]

If you can spot and invest an ICO with good potential and a nice team, then it will be a good investment. Most of the ICOs right now are just a duplicate of past ICOs almost the same but not all ICOs are like that.

[indrakusumaindra]

i still believe its still one of the best way to gain profit in cryptoworld. for example coin lately been raised so much is datum. it rise so high around 15% profit you gain from datum coin just in few days (3-5 days). i would say investing in ico is much profitable. go search datum coin if you not believe me and see how the value grow.

ICO is a good option for investing if you are very fond of risk. You can earn a round sum or lose a lot. There is a lot of scam among ICO projects.

Good option for those who understand the risk and knows how to do their  homework, its all about risking and willingness to handle losing
money in case that the project won't work or dev are scammers. before moving forward know first your capability to understand.

can be great investment and can turn into nightmare. Remember you're investing in people behind the project, do proper DD

[Nelly.G0211]

i think ICO is a great investment, but before participating in one, a person should make a huge research about the project, its history, its team and goals. and only after all finding all this information you can decide to participate or not.

Of course you need to invest only the money that you are ready to lose. Investing the last money is very stupid.

for example recent ico of comsa i can consider a successful one. or if you look at qtum for example, the ico ended in summer, but now its price is 5 times higher. the people who bought it and held are very lucky ones)) and i recommend you to look at United Traders ico, it is finishing very soon. so don't waste your time, it's a very nice and promissing project.
