I just read a White Paper. It is selling 1 million tokens at, roughly 2 USD each. This would look like a nice company to put your money into, as it has a small cap. But there is a catch, the guy has created 1 BILLION tokens, so this means that the value of the tokens he´s set is 2 BILLION ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Frankly, nowadays you have to read carefully even when looking for bounty out there ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Can you share which ICO this was for? So other people don't fall for it. Frankly not enough people do their research, let alone read the whitepapers. It should not matter what the ICO was, since any coin that has those kind of specs will be known as a sham.

There are many scammers making ICOs to scam people as they know there are many newbies in the crypto market at this time and they do not know how to check if the ICO is good or not so they invest in any ICO where they only see something good so they make scam ICOs and tell good things about that so newbies invest in those ICOs and they scam them and take their money and go away.

That's why research is important. You always need to read the fine print and try to avoid scams.
Even if you read their whitepaper and their roadmap all of it has a positive outlook about their ICO they will not put a negative and a thing that may get their ICO with a bad side I really think you need to research any further and look for their developers, founders and co founders if they had a trustworthy back ground or you can see a great ICO by their services and product if its gonna be a hit to the public.

this time must choose a good bounty, because there are so many unsuccessful projects in ICO so that the bounty not paid, so before joining bounty must read the white paper first.

If someone still didn't understand, we are in a financial far west here. And even if there are some evident scams made in amateurish way and easy to be identified, there are other proposals made by professionals that look very good but actually are full of hidden traps. Devil is in the details...

That's a fantastic sale ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . However, why are so sure the market price of their tokens will rise someday? Seeing every day there are new options along with the new ICO project that almost every day is always there. It is not impossible to find ICOs that are more likely to benefit greater than the ICO tokens.

This is the reason's why we should be careful in choosing a good Ico. As of these days, there are many bounty project that we can say legit or might scam. So before investing we should be very careful and reading the whitepaper is very important in choosing a good one to put our money.

Anyone can be deceived by words in whitepapers and such. The mindset of every investors if they will make profit from it. That's the bottomline and there's no more. I feel bad for those who were scammed by those bad projects.

I insist, just to break even.

It's a pity to see that people invest in such projects without knowing the biography of the team. even without reading a technical document
