Which ICO review/rating do you trust most?

[EvaGC]

Hey guys, question: What sites do you trust the most for ICO ratings and reviews?

Thanks!

[Hadrop.Boyle]

In short?   NONE !!

They all have own interests, most getting paid for the reviews, some in the reviewed tokens, some in BTC, but most in $$$$ !

Unfortunately, I need to agreed with previous answer.

Most sources would give you 5 stars, publish your press release or just gave you very positive rating for some crypto.
I personally faced with tons of such services and most of them have a price-list. So anyway you need to be really carful choosing the ICO and make you own research.

If we can build up here some kind of "proven and independent sources" would be great.

[apvmoreira]

Actually none!

All ICO review sites have payed someone to promote the ICO they have interests on.

Then you follow them and also buy, but at a higher cost.

When the ICO is released the majority have a pump, they sell for 10x they have bought, the majority holds because the same youtubers that are payed to promote the ICO say to hold, there's a big dump and you loose the money.

Or they hold your money because they have changed something on the roadmap

Or they close the website

Or they make an internal exchange where you are obliged to trade and loose value

Or they freeze the withdraws

There are so many ways of you to lose money on a ICO that all those that rates them cannot know if the ICO is oging to work or not.

Advice from someone who has lost a lot of money. Don't go that way.

A thousand times this. ICOs are cancer and I would advise against "investing" in them, as the majority turn out to be scams eventually. You're better off gambling, you'll have better odds of actually making some money than "investing" in ICOs.

Never take advice from anyone about investing. Go do your homework and come to your own conclusion. Personally I believe any project with strong technical background and a high performing team could be a good long-term investment, but that’s my opinion and you shouldn’t consider that as investment advice as well.

I agree with this mainly - the "ICO Rating" sites are mainly sites to make money by featuring ICO's. 

However, the only reason why I think that not every public source of information is suspect is because I actually run a weekly podcast (although I'm late this week) that analyzes ICO's.  And I don't accept anything from any ICO. What I hope to do is that through the analysis I provide I try to teach people how to analyze an ICO.  There are a number of things that you can do to look carefully at a project.  And I don't think they are ALL scams. I agree that some of them stretch the bounds of usefulness, and some of them are indeed outright scams, but some are entirely legit.  One that I analyzed a few months ago named Lamden seems completely legit to me - people building development tools for the blockchain.  So, I think they have to be taken one by one.  Agreed - it's a needle in a haystack, but it's worth it in the long run, in my opinion, even if only to learn about how people are planning to attempt to solve problems using blockchain technology.

I think there is great opportunity for content creators in the crypto world to act more as journalists than billboards. The audience you can amass by telling the truth and being objective will go a long way as people are seeking experts who aren't necessarily in it for the money.

And of course, you can monetize an audience like that without completely selling out like some of these YouTubers and websites that are making huge bucks giving favorable reviews to projects they wouldn't even put their own money into.

I don't know of any either but I  would love to hear of some good ones. I just follow a variety of people and try not to get overtaken by the hype.

[ronpan]

i go to icorating, icobench and foxico..but like most comment made here..you have to do your own research..never trust 100% from review made.

[EvaGC]

Really??

There's not even ONE trustworthy site? That's terrible!

So I guess you all look only in BTCtalk for some ICO insight?

[Aaarono]

Hey guys, question: What sites do you trust the most for ICO ratings and reviews?

I'd have to go with ICO Bench as a website rating and DataDash as a YouTube with good information. I bought Substratum at his recommendation and I don't regret a thing.

[qwertylolxd]

I do not believe anyone, because for money you can order any review, it's better to learn the white sheet yourself and study ICO.

Personally I listen to some YouTuber's opinions but I prefer to stick to mine. Don't invest in ICOs by blindly following people like Ian Balina for example.

Why do you trusting on others!! always DOYR

[wasabi.domo]

ICO check is the first place I go when looking at an ICO.
They don't look at the tech or the community etc, which is what alot of ICOs focus on... they have a set of due diligence questions that they use to figure out whether the company and the founders are legit or not. It's a community effort and they publish any evidence they find.

It's a good resource as in input into decision making.

People will tell you to do your own research and it's a cliche but it's true. Check your confirmation bias at the door, do your own research and figure out if you would buy the product (or think that a business would) that the ICO is proposing.

Good luck on your travels!

These are all great resources. I'd add in TommyWorldPower as well. Less prolific but high quality and a good community forming on discord for sharing and learning. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCffr6S11cSULYkSj_B1sdWQ

Completely Agree with this. All it requires is a proper investigation because, in the end, no one will going to take the guarantee.
