Easiest way to explain ICO
This company "Babahaha" has came up with an idea and the problem they face is money issue.
So they need to raise funds so they need people to contribute in return you get tokens to keep and those tokens has benefit for early contributors.
You can be
Long term investors - keeping the token knowing their benefit and stuff you study about the company.
Short term investors - knowing the surface and sell it when it hit the exchange
So always know what is the ICO about before paying or submitting your KYC if needed

ICO is the abbreviation of Initial Coin Offering. It means that someone offers investors some units of a new cryptocurrency or crypto-token in exchange against cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Since 2013 ICOs are often used to fund the development of new cryptocurrencies. The pre-created token can be easily sold and traded on all cryptocurrency exchanges if there is demand for them.

Hello, in my understanding ICO is like one of the ways of transparent financing of projects, launching projects using a block chain network. the very purpose of the ICO is to raise funds for the development of projects that they develop. I tried to describe it, as I understand it myself.

I basically agree with many statements, but only I understand that when you invest in ICO you do not just buy a coin of this company, but buy a part of the shares of this company.

ICO is initial coin offering. It's when some team make up a start-up project that can be of use for a lot of people but need a lot of money to realize their plan. So they start to sell tokens - it's like stocks - that buyers will be able to use in the future to get some services of the project or just sell for bigger amount of money

It’s the short of initial coin offering. Basically when a new project comes up , they are offering their coins from cheap pricess in return of supporting their project. It’s a great way of multiplying your money. If you find a good new project don’t hesitate to participate in its ico.

And much better to do some research before you grab that opportunity because there's so many ICO's project now was become a scam they didn't fulfill their promises about the project, yes that kind of opportunity is good when it comes to gain a profit but like i said doing some research is crucial.

By the way, like everyone siad, the meaning of "ICO" is ( Inital Coin Offering ) and they also called "Initial Public Coin Offering" or IPCO in short.
