Have you ever invested in an ICO?

[mhine07]

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.

yeah i invested in an ICO twice , and it was successfull , if you wanted too to invest in an ICO you must know first what is the worth of their tokens in the future . Read their whitepaper , and their roadmap, and if it is interest you a lot , you can invest as much as you want . But there are many ICO's that are good at start but in the end its a scam , so be carefull to chose the ICO you want to invest.

I'm fairly fresh to the crypto-world.

Invested in electroneum, enjin, and astronaut.

Enjin was oviously a bad investment, could be good longterm, but would've gotten it cheaper on exchange. Learnt a lesson from it, that is hopefully worth more than its loss .

Electroneum is hurting these days. The pure hype behind it could probably drive it to be succesful.

Astronaut is my best ICO as of now, trading well above ICO-price on etherdelta. Long-term hold tough, and could go both ways.

Ongoing ICO's invested in: Indahash.

ICO's i'm considering: Wabi, Gloom.

Kinda pissed at myself that i didn't invest in Genesis Vision, wich was a project that i had followed closely from the start. But i thought it'd trade below ICOprice like enjin did, since it didn't sell out. Another lesson in the book for me.

Yes Iam invested in some ICO, actually many promising ICO now, but we should be have more time to learn about purpose of the project and the fundamental of the project. ICO regulation is important to protect investor from fraud, and the ICO will be more quality. More quality is better than more quantity.

Ive never invested in any ICOs, because i don't agree with the way they're being proposed currently. I dont think there should be any pre-sale tokens or stuff like that, it should be a fair and even offering and with a maximum investment cap per person, to avoid whales buying it all up.

The whitepaper shows that you can gain tremendous profit from investing into it but the risk of getting scam is very high cause most the ICO project that promotes new token dont even last especially when they cant gained money from the people. Better to invest my money in bitcoin if i have the money.

i invested 300 $ in electroneum, but they were under attack and are now closed for some time. But im still thinking this could be a successfull investment

People tend to invest in ICO MLM projects because every day we have only one purchase and it is very difficult to own that tokens. I think now is a good time to invest in ICO MLM because this market is a new trend of ICO.

[riffaz]

I invested in all the MLM/Ponzi/Scam lending platform and gained huge profits..
legit ICOs do not even give me back my capital yet..

[trekmonster7]

Yes! I constantly take part in interesting for me ICO making small sums. From the latter, it is GRMD.

[Tipsters]

Yes. I bought tokens when they are cheap. I just waited till its price increases and sell them. I got an income by doing that. It is not that big because I am just a beginner in investment but it is really fun investing and trading. Actually, there are too many ICOs who have a future. That's the reason why I invest in ICOs. Try it! You can be rich someday by investing in ICO.

[marriams]

Yes, I invest constantly in ICOs a part of my budget. Of course it has a risk, but than again the profits could be high. I am researching and following permanently promising ICOs, checking the project, the technical background and commitment to the project. If there is a well established technical company wanting to enter and do business in the blockchain, it is interesting because they are going to implement the project as a serious business targeting the future profits from it. I holding alts like OMG, VTC, WTC, etc. I have invested in Electroneum, Swarm. I am monitoring now Gladius, Sether, Qchain, Utrust. We will see..

I have participated in Ico in past now mostly I am looking for Ico which is already listed in exchanges like swapity ico it’s having great concept token swap with great team and also listed in etherdelta.

I support, at the moment with such a market as it is now quite a good and optimal strategy. In connection with the fact that it is not clear whether the coin will be traded on some good exchange, it is better to buy already at the outlet to the stock exchange. I, too, do this.

[Reevesabalb21]

Never have but someday I will. Try Spectiv, it is a good ICO to invest in, it has a lot of new features that will help the community through VR streaming experiences. My friend suggested this to me but im not ready to invest im gaining more money to do this. I read about their whitepaper and backgrounds of their teams. It is solid. Try to visit their page.

What the fuck are you mean about ico mlm? sounds very strange if you are talking about the Ponzi like bitconnect or regal. and that coins just filled with a lot of the millionaire that they can generate the newmoney everytime. Not all of icos were including on the Ponzi.

I bought electroneum on its pre-ico sale and now my $1000 investment has a big loss.How about you?do you still want to invest in ICOs?

[thesmallgod]

I have invested in just two ICO up till date and i make 50% plus interest on each ICO. I have read alot of stuffs on ICO on bitcointalk and i have discover that just few ICO usually last long without being dumped. so I do set target for myself ones i buy a token, I will wait until the token is listed on the exchanger site and continue to monitor the price per token. ones the price reach my target, I will sell it off. this is what I did for the two ICO i invested in. i dont wait until 1 token is sold for 10 USD. i set a target and go by it

You shouldn't judge all ICO's having one unfortunate investment. Though I started working with cryptocurrencies only in August I already invested in 6 ICOs and 4 of them (PRX, MTH, VIB, PPP) allowed me to increase my assets. I managed to sell them at x2-x3 price and then bouht again when they fell below ICO price. And I'm gonna hold them, because I believe in these projects.

[ValhallaICO]

Yes, I've invested.....even running our own NON-SCAM :-) ICO in 2 week at valhallacoin.com

But seriously, when doing due diligence:

Start with the team.

Are each of them on LinkedIn?
Do they list their affiliation with the company there (at least 75% of them should)
Have they worked for credible companies that you have heard of, and respect, in senior positions?
Now this is a BIG ONE: Do they have 500 or more connections?
Is there any one of them that REALLY stands out as SUPER-AWESOME (Advisor/Founder/Vitalik himself?)?? Great....Is it listed on that persons' linkedin? If not, PING the person on LinkedIn and ask them is their affiliation is real.


If the team is ex-Soviet.......red flag (bad pun I know). If there's no extradition treaties.....more likely to be a scam.....sad but the statistics bear it out.

The read the whitepaper......but due diligence on the team is maybe 10 mins and anyone can do it.....Whitepapers are sometimes too complex for many readers.

I have invested heavily in ICO projects but I have always chosen projects that can help me make a good profit and the projects that I think you should invest in right now are Specter, Utrust, Crypterium, Storm. These are full of potential and can definitely help you make a little profit
