New to the ICO world

[Cryptoigna]

Hello everyone!

I have some small amount of bitcoins and ETH, and I'd like to start buying some ICO.
Is there a good guide to start?
Or just reading this forum??

Thank you very much!

You better watch first and make sure you take part in crystal clear ICO, where softcap is reached at least. You will get less bonuses, but still be more safe.

First tip is to never invest in coins just because someone here or anywhere else says so. There are a few guides here and youtube but your personal experience will always be the best. If you have enough eth, try to diversify and buy a few different ICO's. One of the most questions you have to ask yourself is, do they have a working product? There are tons of ICO's that offer amazing things but they don't have a working product or prototype so you are essentially trusting them to do it, instead find ICO's with working products and you won't have to trust them as much.

We go into detail in our blog post on how to get involved with an ICO:

Before you join,be sure to research the project you're investing in because ICOs are more risky.

Hope this helps

To start things off, make sure you know what too look for on an ICO to have an idea if it's a scam or not. There are lots of information on the web about this topic. Though personally I'd highly suggest against investing in ICOs. If you want to invest, I'd personally rather invest in the top reputable coins instead.

When you are going to invest in ICO be careful. Because there are a lot of scams are in this space. Please consider the bellow facts before investing on any ICO,

* Project idea and technical reachability
* Team and their previous experience in the industry.
* advisory board.
* soft cap and handicap
* amount of allocation for the token sale.
* Based technology.

If you are looking for an ICO to invest, I Recommend Guarium(https://ico.guarium.com/) as one of the good investment options. It has the strong team with the clear mission. Don't forget to do your own research before investing in ICO.

A simple rule is:
1) read the whitepaper
2) try to understand every single aspect of the project
3) get as much information as possible from any source available and check if there is a already a working product available.

Are you still convinced that the ICO is worth buying?
If so, only invest after the soft cap is reached and dont trust any ratings at icobench etc.

I would recommend to pay attention to these factors: they must have a good Whitepaper, read it scrupulously, cause some ICO just steal somebody's else Whitepaper and just change the name of the project. They must have MVP on their website, cause lots of projects like to write how cool they are, but don't have anything except these pompous words. Their employees should have profiles on Linkedin, for example, cause scammers are afraid of revealing their personality and often they whether don't have any profiles of steal somebody's photos. Check their groups on the different social networks, they should be active and not filled with bots and fakes. Check their profile on GitHub. I would recommend you to pay your attention to Cryptics - forecasting platform which does use 100% AI. Their project does satisfy with all these requirements. They have already had a good MVP. Their AI does analyze the market of crypto currency and make daily, hourly and four-hourly forecasts for the different matches of cryptos, some exchanges and for the market. There will also be opportunity to trade and make investments. In September they are going to launch a trading bot on the platform.
