ICO Reviews, trust them or NOT?

[sergeykravchenko1959]

To eliminate the risk of fraudulent projects and losing their investment you should carefully select projects for investment. To use reviews on rating sites to examine the white paper of the project and to draw attention to the team . Still it is desirable that the project had its basis in a real product .

I certainly won't trust those comments and telegraph groups, although I will check out some information about ICO before investing, but I am only using it as a reference material!

Nowadays, the information on the internet has a way to splinter through them, and they beautifully paint their numbers. So we should not trust them much, just for reference and analysis of our own factors would be better, safer for us.

Ico projects that allocate a specific budget for advertising. If you give money to the ico rating sites or reviewers, they will show you as a good project and give you a high rating. so I can say that the ico rating sites are not safe, dont trust anybody

[Genemind]

You can listen to them but do not rely on them. ICO reviewers such as comments from known people and vlogers are not fully reliable, it is either they are paid to give positive feed backs to an ICO or they are one of the big investors of it. They will not do something that will not benefit them, remember.

Very nicely expressed thread about how this service prey ICO TGE business as well as investors, all this services effects cryptocurrency community members too who rely on influencers and this paid reviews. But as a responsible investors once should do their own research too as it's their money they will be going to invest and they will have to bear the losses.

These ICO rating websites do not think they are very objective. They may give you a better rating when you spend some money. So I think the key to investing in ICO is not to refer to the ICO rating website, but to rely on your own experience and judgment.

I agree with this post. I could say that not all ico rating website are reliable and most of them I really do not know the basis of their rating since I have this 1 crypto project previously where few of them had rated this one particular project but it turned out to be a scam. It is always much better to rely with our own research and be ready with the consequences of our decisions when it comes to investing with cryptocurrencies.

[Ociwiw]

I absolutely agree sometimes the projects do not correspond at all to what is written about them or shown in the review.  I have been haunted by the idea that everything on ICO-rating websites has been paid for a long time!

[dentolas]

I see your points and mostly agree with them... the main problem is that reviews are paid per order, so imagine an ICO review site or a guru blogger saying that an ICO project that paid the fee is shit or not thrustworthy...
There are surely some which reviews are more valid than others... this is why we should always look at this with a critical view and not give away our trust easily...~cheers

[timmmers]

It is hard to find independent reviews, almost impossible because crypto market is pretty new and everyone wants to earn as much as possible before it will be too late.

[Temmy007]

Most of ico reviews of new ico popping up everyday are paid reviews;
I don't know why this ico's are not tired yet;

Video Reviews, ICO mailers, Listing websites, Telegram Groups, Can you trust them?

Before expressing my opinion about this I would like to mention that the statement made by me is not regarding any particular blogger, vlogger or a listing website. These are all my individual opinions.

Coming back to our topic. I strongly believe that

Most of the ICO reviews made by vloggers on youtube, bloggers on websites, ICO review websites and Telegram channels and groups created by so called “Gurus” have absolutely no value associated with them, are “useless”.

Here is why I think these reviews mislead people more than they help:

They are all paid reviews

The fact that most of the reviewers take money from the company to write about them makes the first point. Why would you write bad about somebody who is paying you to write. That would be best idea to close your shop, isn’t it? :-) lol!. They get money to attract people to make an investment. It’s their job or business model and if they have to be successful they have to deliver well on that.

A good article or a video is the one which brings more people to buy the product

Think about this, A good review article or a youtube video has nothing to do with the success of the product. Usually, Success of the product will come long after you had watched the video and most of the time when you will see the result of your investment you would have forgotten the research you did to figure out if the ICO was good or bad. But, If the video or that content is not entertaining or engaging enough you would not like it which would mean less business to the paying party. To summarise, Reviews are 100% focused towards engagement rather than success of the product.

Have you ever seem a player who represent his country for football as well as Rugby?
Most of the reviewers will speak and write about every industry, product originating from every country, product using every technology and with the token economics as difficult to understand that a qualified economist will struggle. I mean, They say and write those things for which even Warren Buffet would have said “I don’t know” :-) but these guys know everything ( I don’t know why I am thinking about my wife while writing this content :-)).

They should be themselves made billions by now

Can you imagine a person knowing so much about the whole business field that he has a following of 10,000 or 100,000 people and not making billions. I mean, He is like the person who touches anything and that turns out to be gold, Isn’t it?. Don’t get me wrong, They make very good money from the companies who want them to attract traffic for their websites. The point is, A person who is super expert of a segment like “blockchain ICO” (It’s true that many ICOs have given more than 100,000X returns) must have invested his $500 into those 100s of successful ICOs, right? :-). Somehow, That’s not the case and they keep on freelancing or working for very big marketing companies.

So, To whom should you listen? Who can give you the correct information? How can you trust that information?

I will share my thoughts about it shortly. If I am thinking on correct lines or saying something completely incorrect, I would let you to decide.

Most reviews are paid. The only difference is that promotional reviews are marked and others are not. You may see a lot of videos about it.

[cryptolord2077]

For me, everything depends on the reputation of the resource on which the project analyst is located. There are a number of reputable sites and groups that can be trusted, but even their analytics should be criticized and rechecked.

[ricatop]

No, of course, I don’t trust them because all these reviews are fully paid and people say good words to the projects only because of their potential profit.

[petrcoin]

Don't trust them or don't think they are fraud.

Listen or read it with spectical mode on later make your own research. Even they are the most trustworthy people doing the review, it is your money and you should only trust yourselves.

[yingfeng]

No, I do not trust such reviews. Many videos and articles are made only because of advertising. If I am going to invest in some project, I myself study this project.

[Prettymie]

I still read those reviews from them but not to the point that I will decide base on them. Ratings is just a numbers it's not a guarantee that people will invest since they get a higher ratings. I seen many high ratings ICOs but they failed to collect good amount of money to start the project.

Since the start of socials and influencer era, you can no longer rely on most of them as they can be as well bias. The main thing that you should always rely on is yourself. Your own research. You will also prevent yourself from blaming others as well.

[jony35490]

In my opinion, it is better not to fully depend on the ico review site. Because many sites like to take money for promotion So they make good review on the bad projects for money. So it is better to do your own research before any investment.

[basici]

There are really adequate and honest reviews, but unfortunately there are very few of them on the market, so I do not believe them

[CEOKEY]

ICO assessments only give me valuable reference before deciding. I believe in more research, reasoning and decisions of myself.
