An initial coin offering is similar in concept to an initial public offering (IPO), both a process in which companies raise capital, while an ICO is an investment that gives the investor a cryptocoin, more commonly known as a coin or a token in return for investment, which is quite different to the issuance of securities as is the case in an IPO investment. Do you invest in ICO? and has you make money from it?
I used to invest in every ICO that were being launched two years ago because they have a good chance for profit, but now I only pick one or two good ICO I just make sure the developer is well known and they have terms that they will refund if the ICO did not meet the softcap

When you invest in a project during an IPO, you buy shares and become the owner of the project. When you buy tokens during ICO, you do not become the owner of the project. This is the main difference between ICO and IPO.

From my own experience I can ssy that it is not profitable to invest into ICOs, because personally I invested into ICOs in past, and from 5 such projects only one gave the profit at 8 in Bitcoin.

I think before investing in any ICO you should have a maximum knowledge about crypto currency. If you are new one in crypto currency then you should have to participate in bounties, in this case you will earn some free coins & will get knowledge about ICO as well.
The maximum you can do is get as much information as possible about the project. Do not be lazy, before investing in ICO, try to learn as much as possible.

I invested in ICOs when the market was on the rise. It was 2017, when it was possible to make a lot of X profits in a short time. Today, there is a high risk for ICO investments.

I have not invested in ICO for a long time, because the last time I lost enough money to make sure finally that investing in ICO in 2018 is very risky.

The date of the beginning of this discussion was favorable for investments, but a year later the situation radically changed, I can’t imagine who is investing their savings from private investors, you have to be a desperate intuziast, not an investor!

Take a look at EVOT. It will be the currency of a trading platform, so it will be widely used and its value will increase for sure. This trading platform, among other things, will have an academy and you will be able to configure customized bots for trading. They will also have a bot that will arbitrage between exchanges and pay the benefits in ETH directly on your wallet. The CEO has done two interviews and the team is very serious. I think it has future and I think that its currency has a lot of potential as it will be used to run the bots and discounts will be obtained if it is used to pay for the academy.Take a look at the web in case you are interested: https://www.evoai.network/

Yes, I made a profit through ICO many days ago! I stopped investing in ICO projects because the crypto market is very much unpredictable and making profits is very hard at this moment. Lots of ICO project will fail no doubt for the crypto market collapse. So, I almost forgot about my ICO profits because they becoming zero day by day!

Recently it is not profitable to invest in ICO, it is better to buy on DEX after ICO it is almost always cheaper, I do not understand how this is possible, but it is a fact.

I have had some pretty amazing results with ICOs since I started my crypto journey which was last year. Made some very good money from ICO as then, it was common to see an ICO do x5 of its ico prices once it was listed on an exchange. Unfortunately, fast forward to today, the story is now different as most ICOs aren't worth it any longer. Most have either gone under or have dumped massively below ico prices leaving investors with sad experiences. These days, due to the continuous fall in the crypto market, every new project fresh off an ICO has either dumped terribly or simply gone many steps backwards from the ICO prices. People are now scared of ICOs as it isn't attractive anymore. The proliferation of shabby projects haven't helped in this dimension as well. Only few ico projects are actually worth it these days....

Early this year when ICO was making a good X return, I made some good money from ICO investing though i was investing with little amount of money, but it's as if the money i made have gone down the drain since the start of this bear market.

Yes you can earn by investing in ICOs but, what is scary part in it is, not all tokens you buy in each ICO are profitable. Some tokens after being listed in exchanges for a long time still do not have a better price. Sometimes it turns out that the exchange price is lower than the ICO price so there is no profit at all. Instead of gaining profit you lose.

Yes, in 2017 that was possible. Now, surely not, because people are more conservative and they are cumulating more big cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Yes. I have invested in some ICOs in the past and was lucky enough to make some money from them by selling the tokens after a couple of listings on major popular exchanges.
