What defines a successful ICO?

[marksayson]

When in the sale of the token it reaches its hardcap, it is a good sign that the token is good for the demand of the investor. The next thing you must see to it, that is the ICO good for a short term? or its more good in a longer term. You must also refer to read its whitepaper. All the important key information and its roadmap are on the whitelist.

In my opinion, a good ICO project can bring me the return of X5.
Then the ICO project that allows me to make money is a good project.

So if you have two projects, which would you consider more successful??

Project  A).
ICO price, = $1.00
Total raised = $1million
Exchange listed and tokens trade at ~$5 for 6 months
Then the project fails and dies, tokens become worthless

Project B)
ICO price = $1.00
Total raised = $1million
Exchange listed and tokens trade at ~$1 forever,
The project launches and becomes extremely well adopted.

The success of the project is determined by the team and the idea. Now a lot of similar projects that duplicate each other. As a result, after the ICO, the price of their tokens falls twice on the exchange.

actually although the concept offered is the same, as long as the team can mix with something new of course it can still make the token of the project has a competitive edge

Ya I agree with you, tokens can be successful with similar concepts. Its like saying just because Mcdonalds already exists, burger king won't be successful.

in any case, the real prospects of the project depend primarily on the team and the relevance of such an idea in society. If investors deem it necessary, then the funds will be enough to realize the idea.

The Token is ultimately listed on the stock exchange, I think so. Also successful ICOs usually have a good audience.

Ico successful or not it depends on so many factor . Like the project concept idea, Dev team , Market hype and demand ,etc. Most of the successful ico listed in good exchanges that is also the fact of ico coin price up down .

The answer to the OP is dependent on what side to consider, the side of the company who launched the ICO or the side of the investors who invested in the company's ICO.

If it will be on the side of the company then a successful ICO is an ICO where the company raised their minimum amount goal and nothing more. Goals are set for a reason, if it is met then it's a success.

On the side of the investors, the success is when a good profit was made. Investors invest because they want to gain and if they gained based from their expectation then their investment is a win.

I agree most successful ICOs have a large number investors, the exception of course is the super successful ones like BAT which sold out in 30 seconds from huge investors.

Do you have any idea of an easy way to tell how many people invested in an ICO? The only way I know of is counting the initial transfers of the tokens on the blockchain :/

If the token has features, that we really need, then it will become successful. Of course, only when they are also marketing the ICO correctly to the wide audience.

The ICO is successful if every stakeholder is happy. The team get their money, the investors make some profit and the community gets the product and services that were promised.
