Survey! Investing in ICO

[tyuner4]

There are too many projects around, I always do research and I invest in ICO when I find it to be promising.

The first and only ICO I went for was DAO. Haven't touched another coin offering ever since that massive fail.

I like to have a filtering process. I mostly go with ICO's that have a clear problem/solve strategy. Allot of ICOs aren't worth the time though. It may seem great but thats mostly on paper, practically its far more difficult. You have to account that most startups fail and I don't see that any different for crypto.

Some ICO's that I invested in lately:

Substratum, Electroneum, Soferox (Soferox was a bit of a gamble, didn't read anything.) But hey.. its my money..

Substratum was more a case of that I liked the Idea behind it and I can't really give a fly if it tanks or goes up cause I believe in the core principles.
Plus they we're having a hurricane relief pot (10% of purchase) and I think that is great. On top of that I might get a free T-Shirt so I'm happy!

Electroneum was I guess the only one I looked seriously at and bought in because of its potential utility it has.

I have only one upcoming ICO that I will be investing in because I think the application could be enormous and it has a professional/experienced team behind it.

I prefer investing in existing coins because atm there's a bit of an ICO craze so it really has to be worthwhile. Lots of people looking for cheap deals to turn into instant profit.
Can't blame them though.
Substratum was hodled by the community and I think thats a big plus. Shows commitment and believe in its core value's of what its trying to solve as a currency.

DAO casino? Gambling ICO's are overall unprofitable. Best is to see if they have good dividend payouts and else I wouldn't go anywhere near those.
There are allot of good ICO's though but I'd say to have some economic insight is a great advantage.
Every ICO will present itself as the best but reality proves different. I find that it helps to be very pessimistic about every ICO at first so you're skeptical and ask questions.
If you can answer those questions and prove yourself wrong thats a big plus.

When it comes to investing there are certain things that you should consider and one is to have a research in each coins you encounter. Having a knowledge on how each ico's made a project and how promising it will be will let you determine and make you trust them.

I'm still afraid to invest in new projects because it's hard to predict whether it will succeed or not. Also recently, a lot of scammers because of which you can lose money. I'm just watching.

The concern about losing money is a very valid one. I wrote an whole article about why investing in ICOs should be looked at differently. You can read it here  https://www.kela.io/the-coin-that-wont-make-you-rich.html

It's also why we are buying actual diamonds via our parent company's network (Live Rates Feeds), so that even if something bad happens, the coin holders can redeem the coins for the diamonds.

Thank you for the information. I just have not really figured out how to invest in such projects.

First, you gotta do a lot of research and be at least 99% sure it's not a scam

[Michae1k]

every day become more difficult to find a good projects, almost 50% are scam, and you just lose ur money. It's always risky, but sometimes it worth it.
I chose tactics - try to invest in projects from my country, where I clearly understand the idea and stages of it implementing. And very important for me is recommendations from person, who already successful in investing. 

[mdzahed134]

Yes,I vote "when only its very promising" ico.Because sometimes I invest on good ico.When I see ico road map is something different other ico than I interested to invest on ico it's my strategy.

[Sirait]

Only the most newbie users are investing in there, because they want quick profit once that the token gets listed on an exchange, but it is a very risky process and a lot of icos need some time before getting listed on a good exchange like cryptopia or bittrex.
but no, i dont use to invest in icos.

^ hi, my friends I appreciate what you think, but not just a newbie who wants to invest in ICO, even though it looks very risky. many also seniors who invest their funds in ICO.

I would like to know your opinion about investing in ICO.
And leave a comment below how you inform yourself about the upcoming ICOs.

With so many ICOs coming everyday, its impossible to find and invest in a good one. I only invest in those which look promising even from the outside, only if they look good from outside then I do more research on them and decide whether to invest or not. But honestly I don't invest much, most of projects are waste of time and money.

Do you invest? my answer: NOT at all

Why? I’m more of a worker than an investor. I joined bounty for a payment from ICO, does this important as investors? Yes, they do work hand in hand. How can an ICO or company be recognized without the information dissemination campaign it’s either social media, video, blog and signature bounty.

[Xenrise]

It is always on the whitepaper dude. Try reading the whitepaper and you will understand the project itself. Goodluck!

Hey guys,

Greetings.

To be general I think ICO is a way for early birds to take advantage of cheap coins and for this reason I only invest on ICO's that are very promising, specially those crowd sales where team is solid and have good roadmap. Besides being an investor, I am a worker as well but I rarely apply on bounty campaigns because I only join them when I see a great potential for a coin to be in a hefty price in the future.

Yes thank you. But I still need to overcome the psychological barrier.
