How to decide about ICO ? Which ICO to invest

[vijendra singh]

I daily see the new ICO campaign on twitter and other social media. I have never invested in ICO but want to start. 
All the ICO show excellent white paper, Strategy and future plans which looks lucrative.  But when it comes to investment in ICO , I can't decide because I don't know the basics. 

Can someone guide what to see before investing in ICO.

Ok, first off You need to know what project You are about to invest in. Once You knew what kind of project it is, then You can have an idea on whether it will be useful or not in real life or in the Crypto world. You must also research for similar Projects that might have the same platform or concept as the one you've just checked. Be sure that it has its unique features and not a rip-off of another Projects platform. Lastly always have a background check on the Company of the project, make sure that they have real people backing it up and trusted members. You can see elaborate information in the Whitepaper they provided, so look into that. That is all the basics that You need to know to ensure that You are investing in the right ICO.

Search for as much information about the project as possible. Decide whether this project is worth your money. Will it be a project with excellent prospect in the future? Unique? Or it will be the next social network, which is so full

You must know what you want and what you are looking for in a project. Also how long you want to leave your investment, short or long-term?  Then research on the project;  how viable is the project idea or is the project already have a working products and services; who are those behind this particular project;  Do they have what it take to deliver on their premises? In a short word, carry out thorough research and conduct due diligence before you make any investment. Hope this helps.

Problem with the telegram groups is that they can deceive a large number of participants with the presentation of the false value of the desireable ICO. The best advice is to gain more knowledge about the cryptos because many percents of the people have their own intentions that can result only in the profit gain ( but only for them). ICO sites are often presenting the project as it is presented in the whitepaper and in the thorough plan that the team has.

These days there are many scammy projects that are usually disappearing in the end with the investor's money. Listen to your intuition. By the time you will gain more knowledge that will be of some use to you when you will watch the charts and calculate the possible success of the certain ICO. Also, try to look at the market cap value because it is determining the final value of the coin after it is released. Try to find the middle value and also try to analyze the current demand for that project because demand is defining the popularity of the designated ICO.

you should do on some research about those ICO, all about it
whitepaper, roadmap, team, that was and important thing, and what kind of program they offer to you ?

second, try to look on some website of ico review, better ico will be listed on two or more ico review website with a good rating

and last, this is optional but if you find a famous crypto-youtubers review those ico with a good review, it will give more value

I always check an icorating for choosing the good Ico to invest. You will check the rating in every Ico listed in this sites. This could add some input in choosing to invest and whitepaper is also important in investing an Ico.

While chosing an ICO in different ratings try to pick ones with lower marker caps with clear goal and roadmaps. It is very hard to find something like this (such tokensales sometines finish in an hour after the start of the presale) but they are more likely to moon after getting a good listing. Always watch the airdrops and early bunuses. With a large amount of free tokens the price of your portfolio will be washed by bounty hunters. For me the best ICO is the one without presale bonuses and wigh a low cap.

BASIC, let's discuss the basic in a term that everyine will understand.

As a beginner, you cannot directly pinpoint or likely guess which ICO will likely to be successful or which one won't.
As for my experience, here is some TIP that I learned from my comrades, from my research and from my mistakes.

Thins to consider when choosing an ICO.

First is HARDCAP or total capital that the team wants to raise.
Hardcap is important because most ICO that has a low Hardcap will have a higher chance of gains.

For instance; An ICO with 1Million$ hardcap will likely to 1x or more upon listing in an exchange, provided that 10M marketcap is very easy to move by supporter.

Second, you should also consider the project, the team behind, the roadmap and so on...

You will likely to learn step by step after having an exposure to forums or crypto-related groups or even medias.

First off don't look only at design of the website, white paper, how well marketing is done. Because all of these things, if scammers do it the right way, it's hard to notice. You should try to gather more information about who is behind the project and try to dig up everything about it - does that project has any DEMO versions, working product etc.

Recently we saw Benebit has done an exit scam of like estimated at around 2.7mil+ , and half a million went on marketing and exposing their brand. At least you could inform yourself more about scam ones so you can learn what to look to undercover real ones.

There are a lot of websites out there that try to break it down for you like https://www.icoranker.com/ , although you could take such websites like starting point but you should investigate further.

Do note that well written whitepaper doesn't have to mean a thing. As there are people there whose job is to write professional whitepapers for the public.

When I am looking for ICO to invest I am always looking for their idea and most precisely is this idea is going to worth it in the future and also is this is going to change our lifes somehow. If the answer is yes, then this ICO is good and it is good for invest.

By far, investing in ICOs has been my most successful trading strategy.  When evaluating an ICO, I look at several key factors.

1.  How solid is the team?  Are there experienced members on the team, and who are the advisors?
2.  How is the token used?  Does their project really need a token, and how will the token grow in value?
3.  Do they have partnerships?  Are they partnered with solid companies that have a track record of success?
4.  Does their whitepaper concept make sense?  Is there a market that is hungry for what they have to offer?
5.  What does the competition look like?  Does this project bring something unique to the table?

Finally, I conduct research using icodrops, icobench, crushcrypto to get additional oppinions.  Good luck.

Always go through the project details the company is inviting for the ICO and the team member of the track record. For this, you should follow the company white paper in details. Also, evaluate the projects long-term viability.

The problem is that not many people have time or accurate knowledge to to do proper analysis of the projects. This is why it is a main issue, given the fact that you can not evaluate every project since there are tons of them out there I see that many people opt for ones that creates the biggest buzz which could potentially easily turn up to be scams.

Very true. How many projects can we evaluate. it is very tough task.

Exactly. The big buzz projects, like BitConnect, you have to be most careful with. If the projects end up being a scam or inefficient, then the entire market cap has a long way to go down. Low market cap coins without the buz don't have very far to go down.

First dont ask random people which ICO to invest,most of us have different point of views.There are a lot of things to consider like the product of the ICOS,the developer's team capability,whitepaper and roadmap must be clear,founder has succesful projects or he didnt came from nowhere.

But there is no denying that most ICO projects now have a lot of bubbles.
So the ico project is more hot then you are have more opportunity to make a profit, isn't it?
