Have you ever invested in an ICO?

[ematt]

And do they have a future in general?

I think regulation can be good...right now just seems like there are so many (potential) scams.

[cynical]

yes i have bought into an ICO,
my first one was Electroneum which has great potential and there are a few threads about it in the altcoin section.
The current one in my signature INDAHASH has a very promising project also.
Here is the link to the announcement page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2285136.0;topicseen
There are also a lot of scam ICO's still being found out.

yes i do, and not success as i though. but if you really want to join one, i hope you carefull to choose wich ICO you like. See the dev look their background, make sure they have clear roadmap and have whitepaper

edit: you'll see who comment on your thread maybe promote their own project so please choose wisely

I have invested in countless ICO. Some are good some are bad. Regulation could be a double edged sword. It could bring sanity in ICO space and at the same tme stifen creativity and growth, while denied the participant their freedom! Think carefully about regulation!

My only invest to this day is Electroneum

In this two month I have invested in ICO approx 5 project, and for now only one project give me profit other just make loss and I decided to wait the price up, we need more carefull and smarter to choose what project to invest, and I will invest in VLB the concept interesting and great potential.

There are many scam Ico that is why we need to search over and over again in which has the potential coin. Regulation can be good in order to prevent scams ico project. And this is the best to stop people to create another Ico.

You must be careful when investing in ICOs. There are many scams around and several serious projects. I always recommend to do a bit of analyses. Better invest in projects with real existing project, where people have invested already before the ICO. Not just nicely designed white paper.

I have not been able to participate in an ico investment, because I do not have enough stock yet, but if there is stock, I want to try some investment on projects that I think can be profitable in the future, I will research by myself how a project will go forward, through the whitepaper, roadmap, and team managing the project.

Yeah, I invested in few ICO's from yobit but that didn't end up well so I am actually scared to buy tokens during ico.
From that time I have been joining only bounties if I believe project will become big.
Regulation is good but giving your personal information without knowing something is scam is big no no, ICO regulation has to be world wide and not only in few countries.

I think ico's have a future with the pace at which technology is changing. Personally I have invested in a few ico's because I can see that we live in an ever changing world and cryptocurrency is here to stay.

[herromerro]

I've invested lots of ICOs, gained and lost so far. But I'll be much more careful for the future ones.

[itmatters247]

I've invested in a couple of ICO's, luckily it wasn't too much money,lol..even those projects that seem to sale millions of their tokens during their ICO , turned out to really suck when getting on the exchanges. Seems like the team that makes the most during their ICO doesn't put in anymore effort in promoting/upgrading their project when getting on the exchanges. Safer to buy the tokens when they just been listed on an exchange. My opinion.

Yes, I have been investing in ICO's but I only invested my time since I can only afford to lose it rather than losing money. They do have a future but not all of them in general. I have been investing my time in some bounties like Soferox and for now I am into Spectre.ai which is a unique and a one of a kind project with a working software that has potential to grow in the future. It is really hard to tell whether an ICO is a potential scam without doing intensive research about the idea of the project, the team and a working application. Investing money on ICO's kinda hurt our feelings, wallets and purses most especially if the one we are in turns out to be a scammy one.

I agree, too many scams at this point with some gems in between

[wpalczynski]

Yes I have, I made some mistake at first, but now I don't take much risks anymore. If you do your research well enough, you should not have many problems.

[Caesar-Giulius]

Yes I invested in ICO projects which I find promising. It is true that we can’t totally be sure whether the project will turn out to be scam. That is why we need to do research before investing.

[OlgaKopotii]

Yes, I take part in many bounty campaigns, so analyzed projects, read white paper, look team and what is the main thought of the project, so after that I really found few projects in which invested. Of course, I invested just 100$ for each, but that is good for the start.

I think some of the ICOs are able to come up with Bitcoins in the future. Crypto is growing and mutually supportive. The rates of these coins are satisfactory and I think we will soon see a breakthrough.

[Aureliusy]

No never have , never will and never intend to. ICO is like the internet bubble start up buzzword, being Tellselled by just another Amazing Mike.
99,9% is Creme de la Crap.
