Do you believe in ICO Ratings?

[Ailmand]

I see many Websites that provide ratings for ongoing ICOs or for the future. Examples such as the ICObench.com Website, ICOrating.com and others.

Which is my question whether you believe in the rating provided by the website. Seeing many ICO's do not match what they value. Many ICOs are arguably good ratings but when the token sales of the project only reach softcap. And there are projects that I see have a fairly mediocre rating but their token sales reach hardcap. I took the example of Lalaworld on ICObench.com they get Rating 3.7 but their token is sold out.

So let's discuss ICO Rating!

I give it some thought and consideration, but to say that I base my decisions on which ICO to actually invest or join in, I don't. Although the comments and reviews posted there are actually from verified and seasoned sources, at the end of the day, your investment is on your hands. If you would have another person decide what's best for you would be improper, especially when it will lead to a loss when the only person you can blame is yourself.

I think the ICO ratings are good enough for recognizing good projects to join. I check Icobench and icorating sites regularly and compare the ratings. But I make sure I have read about the project enough and get continuous response from the team and I check the feasibility of the project too. Ratings just confirms my findings.

Most times, what happens when i comes to the rating of ICO by some of these rating sites is that, money is being paid by some of these projects. So, the more the money paid, the higher the rating. That is why we might sometimes be surprised at the results we see

[Bttzed03]

ICO ratings certainly plays a role to most investors. I would prefer to check those project with higher ratings first before even considering those with lower ratings.

[siagh357]

Yes I do. Most ICO ratings get into details of the project to make their own analysis. Some even do background checks on team members before rating them. ICO ratings are helpful in judgment of a project

I follow the ICOBench for the expert rating on the ICO projects and that are beneficial for me because on there I am getting satisfaction and not much of the ICOs are failed from there where expert rate them at better position.
Only a few may go for scam or go to fail but they are much lower in number which is negligible for the investors who not invest much in ICO projects and who invest in multiple projects in little amounts.

I don't believe much in ico ratings site, it's just one of references, i always do my own research on the project i want to invest in. But i think ico ratings site like ICOBench is good, you can check the summary and KYC project of the token .

[marktee]

I will Choose Quality than Quantity.. ICO's depends on the company paying the advertisement. But for me reading some blogs will boost my confident if i'm gonna invest on this coin or not.

[yndye]

I don't really trust the sites that put the ratings of ICO projects. Anyway, I always go myself and look at the site of the project in which I want to invest, or take part in the bounty of the company.

I don't trust the ICO ratings too because there is a possibility that those ratings were just paid. Those experts that give an opinion are paid to give the ICO a high rating to attract more investors. Of course, not all of them are biased but we should always be skeptic and do our own research if we wanted to invest in an ICO. We can see that by reading the opinion of the people in the forum, you can check how they answer in the telegram community and then check the on-going developments of the project in their sites. Participating in forums, conferences, seminars and meetings of the team has a big weight for me in choosing the right ICO to invest in.

[rapsonic1337]

Yes, I believe in some websites that provided the ICO ratings of the project. with this we can have the information that is more accurate.

In addition, there are some ICO ratings websites that are not accurate or they haven`t updated maybe they`re just tired.

[mrox2011]

Early days i have faith on this ICO Review sites. But time show those review & their experts are just only doing the ICO PROMOTING.
Example "cylinders.io". IN icobench site they have a very good ratings.(you can see on both sites) but it becomes totally worthless.
so before trusting these sites better to do your own research.
cheers!

This is absolutely right. Popular ICO rating sites aren't a complete garbage after all as we can use it as one of our basis in rating a project. We will have our own judgement too by reading all the information and team's backgrounds. Even popular sites like Forbes and Yahoo can be sponsored too but it may also help as those sites will never really risk much on doubtful projects. Partnerships and conferences are the most impressive ones also for me as they have the chance presenting themselves and their project into vast savvy tech companies and personalities.

ICO ranking websites are just one of your references to evaluate the ICo. It’s possible they can be paid for a good review.
You must do your own research. Check out the team and credentials, Whitepaper, and other details on ICO. You can join the discussion here:

Oh sure. Thanks to this rating, I found several projects that brought me a good profit. Now I turned my attention to REMME. The project provides password protection for users. This is a promising theme for the development of the project. I think it will be interesting

[MetalEngine]

I only trust ICObench and ICOdrops, in my experience ratings are placed there deservedly. But on these sites, projects can pay a premium account, pay attention to it too.

[ntodntodan69]

some ico rating is not to be a good ICO benchmark or not,
one of the ico rating like ICO Bench

the website can only be used as a reference and support in the selection of a project selection

I think I am believe on that ICO rating. They gave rating must be because they already studied about that ICO and the project and learning about whitepapers. Maybe some overated on rating and some dont but its needed to guide us to pick good ICO

[yxo493]

I think ICO's rating can only be used for reference. After all, the ICO risk itself is huge. So still rely on their own analysis. If you say that rating agencies have insider. Then you will become a pig.

[AmericanBit]

I believe in some of them not to all. for me most trustworthy are icobench.com and www.icoguide.com

[Pump N Dead]

I don't believe in ICO ratings, and I still prefer to do my own research before investing in any ICO sale. ICO ratings are payed by ICO developers to have a good rating on their site that is why it is not reliable.
