Interesting fact about the ICO ROI.

[Wookii]

Hello Everyone!

So i have discovered some interesting fact about the ROI (Return Of Investment) for ICOs.

There is this not so old article (posted 18th October 2017) from business insider, claiming the average ROI from ALL the ICOs to be 1 320%! Now that means, if you would invest 1 000$ split between ALL ICOs, incluging the failed ones, you would have 13 200$ right now. This is really interesting facts and further shows the importance of diversification.

The article

But that is not all. As i always look for more than just a one dource, i also found the Coinist. Sure, the do not have ALL the ICOs, but they have quite a lot of them listed. It is also updated often. And now to the numbers... Average ROI of all listed ICOs is ubelievable 25 709%!! This includes the biggest losers with up to -99+%! TOP 100 ICOs did 57 300% and top 10 ICOs did 558 932%!

What can you take out of those information?

• It is never to late to jump into ICO train
• Choose project with great team and product
• Diversify your portfolio
• HODL

I hope you found this information as much appealing as I did!

Thanks for the mention @Wookii. We actually just added hundreds of new ICOs to our database for ROI analysis. We've also recently added time and category filters to better sort top winners and losers. You can see the new ICO ROI data here: https://www.coinist.io/roi/

Thanks again for the mention

That was of course true till 2017. But that ROI rate has drastically decreased now.
It's not that there aren't any profitable coin, there are but unlike how every good and bad projects got full funding and speculation in exchange in 2016 and 17, That is not the case now.
So, investors need to be aware of where they are investing, diversification only would not work in current situation.

ROI will only be high if you get in early on a GOOD ICO project.

You need to be careful, because most ICOs are worthless projects.  This was true for 2016, 2017, and 2018.

^ Christ that's some desperate shilling of your shitcoin "Proto token" Lol

Buy ICOs that bottomed out because of panic sellers in this bear market. I just bought a ton of Morpheus Network because the project is incredibly promising and it dipped hard lately.

The problem with those stats is that it's taking into account all the huge ICOs from the past, and now ICOs are shit.

@eastgrand - Yes our site takes into account all ICO ROIs and that of course will inflate the numbers when you include projects like Ethereum and NXT. Thats why we recently added the ability to sort by year to filter out those older ICOs with huge ROI (go here: https://www.coinist.io/roi/ and then look for the "year" filter under biggest winners or losers). This allows you to look specifically at projects from 2017, 2018 etc. What you'll see is the leveling out of ROIs when you apply these filters. That said, there are still huge wins to be had
