Think of them as IPOs, but the founders raise money using popular cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, litecoin and most popularly, Ethereum, instead of fiat currencies. In return for your investment, you get the ICO's proprietary cryptocurrency. The investments work pretty much like shares, which in most cases don't have voting rights. As the company grows, the value of your crypto grows. You can either hold or cash out for fiat or other mainstream cryptocurrencies. But try to be careful with them, like 90% of them are nothing more than a money grab, good luck

in it's vast majority it is a scam
very few of the ICOs out there are not pyramid schemes

[ErlindaBit]

ICO is short for Initial Coin Offering. This means  investors are offered some units of a new cryptocurrency or crypto-token in exchange against other crypocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.  ICO  works similarly to an initial public offering. Instead of offering shares in a company though a firm, offers digital assets called tokens.

Thank you very much. You are very helpful to me in understanding about ICO

No, no. An ICO is like ice fishing... a hole in the ice... and Icy "O."

what  is the ICO and the purpose  

Hello, I have already answered this question before, on this, I will talk about this again:

"In a nutshell, this is the initial placement of coins. The bottom line is that there is a company that wants to launch its own crypto-currency, which will be responsible for a certain task. But to launch the development, it is necessary to raise funds, basically this is the sum of the most popular crypto-currencies, such as ether or bitcoin, which the contributors list. In exchange, the company gives its coins, or tokens, which can then be exchanged for other crypto-currencies. That is, it is a kind of crowd-funding and bonds at the same time.
More about it you can see here ICO investment."

[multic2012]

For me it is sublobar with investors!The purpose of which is to promote the idea and get in a larger company all over the world.But of all the ICO are moving a maximum of 10% and that's very sad

[BADecker]

Is there and ICO generating program that doesn't require any deep programming. What I mean is a program that a "layman" can use to simply create a new ICO any time he wants, or all day if he wants.

Why ask this?

If we created a new ICO for everything that we owned, or at least for all the various categories of things - an ICO for cars, one for computers, on for shirts, one for shoes, one for land - we could get away from using fiat altogether.

Or how about an ICO that produces value comparisons between every product or service out there? One refrigerator is worth 10 kitchen sinks. One car is worth a refrigerator, twenty kitchen sinks, and a Bitcoin.

We have this to some extent, right now. But it is based on dollar comparisons. Consider Priceline for travel. Or any other Internet website that compares the prices of products, so that you can find the lowest cost, the best deal. Make this a trading ICO for every item or service, and suddenly there is no more need for fiat at all.

[BADecker]

Or how about an ICO of ICOs. It would include a robot that roams the Internet finding new blockchains. Then it values each of them based on volume traded. It could include currencies, as well. And it might even allow for trading all of them automatically, thereby doing away with most of the exchanges. The measure of its value would be based on how much it is used to do all kinds of trading.

[Paractor]

It is a vehicle to gather funds for a project to do with a new cryptocurrency a company is planning to offer to the public.
It works sort of like what an IPO does for a new asset on the stock market for a company that is publically released.

[zilong123]

Initial Coin Offering has become the mainstream way of raising money for a crypto project. It is an event in which a new cryptocurrency project is introduced. Early adopters and enthusiasts are allowed to invest money into the project in exchange for some of the cryptocurrency tokens. The invested money can be used by the project to cover early expenses like developing the product, marketing, legal, etc. ICOs are highly attractive for investors because the potential reward can be multiple times higher as the token’s price increases during the ICO. ICOs have the ability to deliver quick returns. On the other hand, this is a dangerous game. A quick profit can turn into a big loss. There is no guarantee of success. Best advice for investing is: never invest money you can’t afford to lose.

[JohnTravis0716]

ICO stands for “Initial Coin Offering”.  In a nutshell, ICO is a process to raise fund for a specific project in terms of cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin, in return for its tokens that can be used in its specific services or applications.

It means to collect the money easily.
It may be a good system for groups where financing is difficult.
But there are also many ICOs of scam.
It is fun sifting expectations of  scam and profit.

[ololesia]

ICO is a form of investment, an Initial coin offering.

ICO is a cryptocurrency crowdfunding, which collecting money for a project.

There are also many similarities between the IPO (initial public offering) and ICO. The main task of the initiators of crypto-currency crowdsfunding is to sell as many tokens as possible or sell enough coins to develop the project. Their real value remains uncertain until the project is released to the exchange.

In the future, investors will be able to use the tokens to obtain the services or goods provided by the ICO. Either even get dividends or sell tokens if the project goes to the stock exchange and further increases in value.
