Basically, most of the contributiors in an ICO is in it for the money.
Some projects usually linger a long period of time before completion, only a few investors are likely to stay that long.
Am mostly about the speculation and getting the money from it.  Smiley

Well, most investors in ICO ofcourse aim for a money rather in it just for money. Before investing we need to make sure that we could earn profit ofcoure. We dont like stay long for nothing and gaining nothing.

I was initially dragged into crypto space not for money but then my goal changed after all the ICO hype and I was hoping to make the best of the money making opportunity, which I learned some painful lessons at a later stage. For now, I just want to enjoy this piece of history and see how it goes, if I can make some money then great, if I can't just happy to be part of the history

Just today i was thinking about this!!
and i got to conclusion that i am here first of all for the Tech!
when i invest in projects that i believe in their tech, i am confident!!

When investing in ICOs, are there times when you invest for a high ROI but don't really care for the cause behind the project? Or do you only invest when you believe the project has a strong use case and feel personally attached?

I am new to BitcoinTalk but I am not new to investing. With all my investments, my criteria is whether I believe in the idea and whether it is something the world needs. In other words, if I don't feel personally invested in the idea, then I won't be investing my money.

For example, there is a new project called Protex and I invested in their pre-sale because I believe they are going to solve a major issue the entire world has. They are a data security company that will give the power of data back to the users instead of large corporations. All while essentially eliminate data breaches. With a platform that will positively affect everyday of my life, it is easy to be invested in them.

But I want to know your thoughts! In it just for the money?
No it is not just for money ,in bitcoin you can have your experience and job. That is why bitcoin is not just for money. Bitcoin is also about enjoying your life with your family while working an earning so much money using the less of your time and the less of your effort. That is why bitcoin is so essential

I would say 95% of the people do it for the money and don't care about the projects. I have a 4 projects that I really care about but others I get in and out for the money.

90% of the people who invest in ICOs including me are usually in just for the profits.
Nothing else.

Even if the project is amazing bla bla bla but still what's important is: Will I make money over here or check another one ?

In my opinion I believe that when investing is very important that the project you like and you see a beneficial end but there is another thing that should be linked to this, is to know who are the ones who will develop it who make up part of the team, meet them and look for them in the networks and if they are people who are attentive to answer every doubt that we have.

Great answers everyone! Along with losing money, is there ever a feeling of disappointment when a project doesn't turn out successful? Of course everyone hates losing money, but are there times when you're disappointed that the tech won't be available to the public at full scale?

Well the reason we invest is for the money, but still before I invest on an ICO or any type of investment it is important that you research about the company. Thats for investing only for trading it is totally different as long as it seems that i will make a profit, i will buy it.

I only invested in two ICO and hoping to have a great ROI.

I think everybody is in it for the money but just for the money? No not me and I dont even like many ICOs to begin with. I invest sparingly into ICOs because you generally get failed promises and nothing more

It is not the money that attracted me to cryptocurrencies at first. I really believe in the technology and potential it has to disrupt our society and economy in the future, money is just an added bonus we can (hopefully) earn on the way there Smiley

Most people here would be considering the bounty as their priority over the cause of the project they are promoting. It is not really bad because they are here to receive bounty in return to their tasks. But it would be much better if their hearts and minds are also where their project is. I am personally a believer of the project whose signature I am wearing right now. Aside from the bounty that I am expecting, I strongly agree with their main objectives.

While I have put in some money hoping to gain a profit, I am also extremely interested in the tech. Getting to watch it grow and evolve is exciting and I will hopefully get to use it in the near future in one way or another for a legitimate reason. Exciting times. Worried about the amount of scams and shit coins floating out there. Hopefully they get weeded out and the real coins and tokens survive.

I like the tech that drives Cryptocurrency.  I find it fascinating.  However, I would probably think better if I were driving a Lamborghini. Seriously though, any disruptive tech that challenges the status quo is okay by me.

Of course when investing you would love a great ROI but I was interested to see if that's the main criteria people are looking for. I love the mix reaction and people are as invested in the tech as they are the profits.

It's a business so when you invest, you are expecting roi. I know it's not just an investment and it promises a greater use  in the future technology but  the bottom line is still the profit. The profit is what both drives the devs and the investors to do it.

I believe that it not about all,  when I choose the project for investment, I look what is its purpose, what it can give a new, unique to the world, how can it changes the human world..
