Thank you for your input. Your opinion will help build the foundation for a better community.
I don’t usually invest in ICO’s as its hard to find a good one nowadays between all the scams are frauds that are happening in the crypto market. Although, if I were to invest in any ICO, the key features I will look for will be :
1. Team profile.
2. High utility.
3. Clear concept.
It’s better to check these points before pouring money into an ICO, to avoid investing your money into fake or scam ICO’s.
Yes we agreed 100% with you regarding the current state of the ICO market, with most if not all the anonymous investment platforms ran off with your investment money. However we disagree that team profile should be place on the top of the priority list when it comes to deciding on ICO purchase, as there has been more than a few cases of ICO fraud with clear and presentable team profile. (REcoin, PlexCorps, Arisebank...)
Bitcoin's success has absolutely nothing to do with its team profile, but rather the support of the community due to its decentralized nature and the ideology it brings on the table. As we can clearly see the result from our poll, collected from Bitcointalk community itself above, we can atleast come to this conclusion:
*If an ICO does not have a minimum viable product that can produce actual productivity to sustain the platform, then atleast its concept has to reasonably explain how it going to generate productivity and earn enough revenue to pay investors.
*If any ICO is banking on a "trading bot" or "market analysist signals" or "magical unicorn which poops out rainbows that moon 3x in value within first month, then 10x within second month and save the world at the end of the year" then we should take those as flags and consider the
risk over reward.
*A coin utility is greatly depended on its community, there can only be so much initial uses the developing team can squeeze in it. As long as more people agree that it is useful, more utility will be added to the coin itself by its community.
