Token risks?

[Wilfrer]

I think getting a token does not guarantee that you will get paid from that campaign. Because if the token is not traded or exchanged on any exchange, it becomes worthless. So many projects send their tokens away but it's not worth it

A token is as good as the promise of the owners, and unfortunately that is not much these days. Always consider that the teams change direction as they see fit.

i don't have experience enrolling failed ICO projects or being an investors from ICO failed but if ICO lack of interest and failure i think depend on the term and Policy of those ICO projects that some of them might be still send the tokens to their investors but some of them might be will not send the tokens and refund money investors

[winfair]

Many token comes from ico does not means the projects work it already. Their are situations that even they give some rewards it will become useless or not valuable it can also dump token, or may be scams. In the good reason that we recognize a good token when it will listed on trading  and succeed the project.

[ShareAccepted]

No reward comes without a risk of course, there is a clear intention of assuming risk when you come into cryptocurrencies that you won´t have terror of heights.

If you are doing bounty program, there are 2 main options at the end of it:

1. The ICO is done, you will get your tokens within a short time.

2: It is a scam project and the people behind that will steal the invested money..There won't be any tokens, profit.

Even though if the project wasn't a scam one, your tokens can loose their value. Because the ICO isn't equal to the success of the company behind the ICO.
It can fall after the ICO, but it can be profitable too.. its almost 50-50% . It depends on the managers behind the ICO, on the idea, on the investors etc..

So if you are not sure about the future of the ICO, sell your tokens.

There are tokens that are distributed from failed projects. They are no longer working with the said project but they had given the tokens to the addresses that participated them.
But as said that they are failed and no longer pursuing their plans that token will be a decoy and display to your wallet. No way to use, spend or sell it.
Because it will never get listed to an exchange.

Yes, I agree. There are actually coins that are giving their bounty tokens but are not that successful since most of it were not in the exchange sites. However, there are some tokens that are already on the exchange sites but the trading seems to be slow moving.

It's different situation if there are coins that are already on the exchanges and if their volume isn't that much it only means that coin isn't so popular. They succeed by listing their token on exchange but to get more traders stay with their token is quite hard for them. So there are two types of failures.
1. Fail to accomplish soft cap and hard cap.
2. Fail to increase the volume of that token on exchanges which leads it to 0 volume which considers also a dead coin.

If you get tokens on ICO, that means the ICO project has already worked ? Or you can still get tokens from failed projects ?

ICO projects can literally fail at any point. I mean there are times when we could say surely that if we have gotten the coins then we are actually on the verge of success. But with the recent ICO scams it is explored that ICO's can scam us at any point like when they get listed over an exchanger and they start to dump the coins that they are holding and leading to the dumped market. They take the money and shut the project after that. Thus it is not guarantee that we are hitting the successful ICO here but it is just one step forward that we are on to something.

If you have already obtained ico tokens, then at the last moment, many rubbish items are often sold in a short period of time after the money is sent, resulting in a sharp drop in prices. And now ico is a currency issue, but no one will manage it later, but it is a loss.

It does not always end up with them closing a project. Sometimes they continue on with it with their false promises and while people still support them, they continue on operating even when it is nothing but a cheap shit token. I actually don't like the idea that there are so many people and many investors that are willing to run and support ICOs. I mean, there must be some other way to raise fund  ICO is too risky and I'm afraid that the bounty they offer and the participants only support their scams.

We can get token from ico project bu we have looking for how much their token on ico price, will be our opportunity to sell or hold it. We have know how much their ico price still highest or lower, if price more higher than ico price we can sell our token from ico, but if the same with ico price you prefer to sell it because maybe their ico was scam and price will be down and hard to reached on highest price.

Even a 5 years old project can still tank - because the members decided to prolong the scam to maximize profits or any other reason that might make the project to fail. You should understand you are investing in a business idea - and 7 out of 10 business fail in 10 years. Bitconnect is a good example of a failed top 10 project that is more than a year old with a working product.

This is good to keep in mind. When investing in an ICO you are funding a new business. Even if they have the best of intentions with the project and everything seems legitimate, there are many factors that will decide if it fails or succeeds. Even the time it takes to complete a working platform, the business environment may have completely changed in an unforeseen way. All ICOs are risky...only invest what you can afford to lose.

From which I experienced the ICO project run from a long time interval when the distribution of tokens for investors, you can see every roadmap created by the developer. when I get a token either from bounty or as an investor means the project is still in the raw stage, because as I said above a project takes a long time to run and we also still do not know if this project failed.

Both. If you get tokens from failed ICO projects, there are possibilities that you can't sell it because they cannot put it in the exchange site. But if you can get a tokens on successful ICO projects it's a good opportunity to earn triple of your investment.  All investment is risky. It's up to you on how you will deal with it.

Yes, I get a lot of tokens of airdrop campaigns, but sometimes those ICO projects are a scam that the tokens that I get are not worth in myetherwallet.

[Hughes_Ryan]

I agree because I have seen a lot of videos on youtube on how to create token instructions on myetherwallet. Maybe because of these videos that now there are too many ICO projects scam

[Howard1102]

all coin have risk
include ETH and bitcoin, not only token from ico project
you buy ETH or bitcoin still get potential lost or profit same

I do not think bitcoin and ETH are risky. They are only risky when prices fall, but these coins are always safe in the crypto world. So the value of bitcoin and ETH is very large

[bamb]

The risk in keeping your token from your investment  is that the value of your token might halved and that is the normal business risk! Business terrain is tough and this reality apply to cryptocurrency as well. If you hold your token to maturity however, you will definitely make profit at the end!

Sometimes the projects after being listed on the exchanges also imply a lot of risks. Like bitconnect and regalcoin. That's two coins listed on coinexchange. And currently, these two projects are scam

[arthurgrand]

 There are different projects and different situations. But participating in ICO is a high risk and you need to participate only in proven projects with mvps or mainnet ready.
