Have you ever invested in an ICO?

[qiwoman2]

I have invested in a few ICOS, some were good, some were bad and some were really damn right ugly lol but with time and age, experience, things can get better. There are so amany good ICOS now to choose from but now I don't have any spare funds to invest as my hands are tied up in a few projects where their prices have fallen currently so cannot sell any off to recycle lol. I hope to be able to invest in more in the future.

I invested in some ICOs that in my opinion have good business model for this type of fundraising, for example subscription commerce when token can be used to pay for the product of the company. In this situation token has potential to be liquid and profitable. But also don't forget about reliability of the project it is also very important, today there are so many scams creating ICO.

Invested several times and quite successfully. But it is very risky to invest money in projects as a lot of Scam and cheaper to buy tokens to exchange

If we can choose the right ICO then this will be very profitable. but like what you say there are so many ICOs doing fraud, so this is a very risky thing for me. if we are not good at analyzing then we could lose all the investment we have. this is the reason why some time ago the government was concerned about the development of ICO. maybe I also had time to realize that this decision is behind all this.

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.

of the overall ico that there may be only 1-5 ICO alone that has a good future, I think a lot of ICO at this time that is less good and potentially deceptive.

Pertaing regulations, i think there is need for that in the ICO world. This will go a long way in consolidating the investors confidence in ICO investment

same here, the last time I invested in an ICO, the project is good, the project become successful, but suddenly, when it appears on the exchanges, its price is so cheap, and not able to make it to its ico price, so instead of having a profit, i lose some of it.

Yes I did.  Have bought some on LHCOIN (Lhcrypto).  The project is very feasible and promising.  It's a introduction of Larson&Holz an international brokerage to the cryptocurrency world.  The project is "back up" by a legit company so I'm sure there's no scam here.

Zen has an ico on nov 30th.

[MandyViki]

I have only invested in ETN as yet.

[Rufsilf]

I have invested in some ICOs but most of them are just scams because i mostly invested in ICO when i am just newbie because i found it as a great place to spend my money but i didn't know that it is better research first so i just keep doing it until i found out that it is not working out so i just stopped it and i just spend my money in altcoins for long term.

Iknew mos of the bounty hunters now are becoming more careful in choosing ico which is legit and potential one for real of course.
And in mya part most of profit actually came from the ico not directly into bitcoin.

I haven't invested in an ICO where I've made more than 100x my deposited amount. That money would be nice to have though.

This is not new in ICO tokens, expect that while the ICO is running there are many hypes and burst social media advertising and so as investors we think that this token is promising and the worst we buy again because we want a lot of profit afterwards. But the reality hits us when the token is listed in exchange and we got nothing but disappointed. Yeah before I'm a fan of ICO but now I stay away as long as I could.

[rzluetlhch]

Yes, a successful altcoin must have a well-established development team and a community-backed community culture, both indispensable. At the ICO, you should do both, too. Unfortunately, most ALTCOIN just posted an attractive PPT and a very rudimentary white paper when ICO finances it, and then nothing.

Hello from a person who has never invested in an ICO. I read up with much interest, and I will say that all of the news has increased my appetite to participate in an ICO for the first time. Yet, at the same time, all the bad news is holding me back. It would seem, in this case, regulation such as what looks like will happen in China, is the only way to help people like me so we do not get burned by our first experience.

I read yesterday how Confido disappeared. That is very frightening to me.

[mitchr4]

I never invest in ICO because every time ICO coins are listed in the market the price is usually below ICO price. Although they give the coin/token under ICO but when it has been listed on the exchange it will be under it again. I think many ICO projects have experienced it so I was afraid to invest in ICO projects.

[Orsenise]

it might be a scam and it might be legit, that's up to you to evaluate and decide, everyone has to do their own due diligence, which means that they should make sure the things the projects are saying they will do, that they are both feasible and that they make sense. There are so many projects that promise things that are impossible to implement and investors wonder after why they are losing the money when everyone dumps the coin. This short term mentality is really bad, people should get involved in a project at least one month before deciding to invest or buy into it. Read the whitepaper and try to understand whether what is written there is possible and if the team is able to implement the idea in the first place.

[lofegs]

Yes I did. And you're right lots of scams or somehow not needed projects around.
