Initial coin offering- ICO. It is usually used in cryptocurrency business or projects/program. It is an introduction of the token to the public. It is the first contact that an investor has with the crypto company or token/coin . Therefore, it is usually cheaper in price than acquiring it when it has been listed in an exchange.

Ico is just like when a company is selling her shares to the public.

If you found a good project try to purchase coins before they launch. it for a lower rate or with bonus offerings. When the coin is released, you can get a profit simply buy selling those coin in an exchange. If you hold it you can get higher profit.

I'm currently considering a substantial investment in the following:
1. Bountie - An ICO focusing on altering the future of the gaming industry in a positive manner
2. Cointed (CTD) - an ongoing ICO project formed by the alliance between Cointed, Nvidia, and TAS Group. It has something to do with Crypto ATMs all over Europe and Green Mining.
Any thoughts?

Bountie is really solid, and so is cointed. Please do a lot of research on their website before buying, but both are good investments.

ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering used to gather funds or raise money to finance a project also known as first token sale.  The new token issued in the ICO become functional currency if the ICO funding is met (hard cap) and the project launches.  The risk in ICO is somewhat high because the coin can either be non value or priced value.  Sometimes it is advisable to study carefully the white presented by the token developer in order to know the viability of the project that could mean a successful token sale.

ICO is a way to scam off a lot of money without delivering product.

Why do you think so?

[howardhoward]

Investopedia says that it's an unregulated means by which funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks.

ico is a means for us to invest in an altcoin or arguably a way to gain profits over time that spans quite a while.

That is only a limited part of the possibilities of ICOs. They may be offering coins, tokens and sometimes it is for a new coin, but many times is to fund a new company or service. Profit long or short term are not really guaranteed ever.

[panduryk]

ICO is the primary collection of money for a company.
That is, the company has an idea, but there is no money for its implementation.
Therefore, they collect money in return to give tokens, which, as far as the implementation of the project, can grow in value or in general they can be exchanged for a share of the company's shares.
You should not invest anywhere, then you will not lose your money.
Study in detail the white paper, the website, the manual, and only then decide
