What do you want from an ICO?

[erikoy]

This is a very good thread asking questions which answer is very obvious. Of course the bounty rewards for those who are joining bounty campaigns and for those who are investing in an ICO they are also wanting to get more discounts and bonuses after buying some tokens on it. I do not know with other members here on what they really want in an ICO but for sure majority of the bounty hunters do want to get bounty rewards on that ICO project.

ICO's are taking privileges and opportunities to those people who wants income on cryptocurrency business, so difinitely the total purpose of people why they really want ICO are benifits from it on which the total purpose of extra income or additional income that contributes also to the economic development of the world.

Well, I think everyone wants a high-quality product which in the future will develop and the attractiveness of good money to investors is definitely the main thing that everyone needs

Having taken some time to look at a number of ICO's in depth, it looks to me that a large number of them may be marketers first and developers second. They all seem to be great at selling a vision or product but when you actually start to scratch beneath the surface, you start to notice that they promise the impossible, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. That's not to say that all ICOs are like that, there's a number of very well thought out and genuine ones.

So my question is, what do you want from an ICO with regards to its presentation and what they offer? Is having a working demo or MVP the most important? Is it all about the team or does that not matter if they've already demonstrated their competence? Do you want the ICO team to generate hype and "oversell" or would you rather a more honest and direct approach?

MVP and team information are important to me because things that I need to do when I want to invest in ICO is to consider the quality of the product and the team's experience in the business industry, I think hype when ICO is not too important because, the fact that many projects are reaching Hard cap but token price drops when listed on exchanges, maybe the hype when ICO ends will be better for investors

[Emilyearl]

To me personally, I run away from ICOs that are good marketers without a product. This is because, once their marketing dies off the project is dead price wise. It's product that sustains a project and ICOs without a product and years after their ICO they're still unable to come up with any, all lose out. But the best aspect of it all is a product and good marketing skills. The product should come first and good marketing added to it.

Everyone wants to find a token that will repeat the success of the top coins.
I think the nice desire of any investor to see how 0.1 dollar turns into 1 or 10 dollars. That's why people who invest in ICOs spend a lot of time looking for diamonds.
Zilliqa & Elastos are as a recent example.

Have MVP can be considered as an additional value to the team and that means if the team is serious to developing the platform. But the majority of ico traders are aiming to get early hype of the ico itself.
Remember ONT gives every ico holders more than 70x from the ico price. Zill which around 65x from the ico price and that's they are looking for.

I Agree. MVP is important. beta launch within a shortish time frame also and a solid use for the token/coin in the real world. I guess you have to decide how you are going to operate with each ico. if it's hyped like crazy with no solid use / MVP then you can do what the 90% do and dump early at exchange. I've been holding my MVP tokens hoping for some big gains but I'm thinking the time of 50x is over or you have to be very lucky. 2018 has been a pretty poor show for most ico's

I am investing in an ICO just to make profit. Therefore I want a big hype for any ICO I want to invest because its that hype that will pump the price when it get listed on exchange. In term of the team behind a project I don't really see it as a factor that can pump coin in market.

I am not investing in a ICO to earn. I am actually joining to the signature bounty campaign to support their ICO and to earn their token ofcourse by doing posting here in some thread with an required post count every week i can get particular stakes based o my rank and it is equivalent to any amount of token so the higher the stakes the higher the tokens to get too 

[marn6767]

The most preferred project by investors is the most profitable project. They prefer the projects with the most investment. They are trying to keep the profit margin high

[AUruHM]

I wait for profit only from today's ICO. Most of this doesn't have any interesting idea or it's a copy/paste from other ICO. I spent much time to define like or not like. That's why now I see only from my finance side and nothing more

[supergorg27]

I want an honest and direct approached with regards to its presentation, make it direct to the point  and don't let people just to believe and then they will cheated them at the end.

[littlemonny]

In need of harmonious interaction with investors is a small value but shows their sincerity in bringing the vision and mission, Telegram channels can be a container in every renewal of a project activity. Looks simple but has more value in the eyes of investors.

[Achilesban]

there are several factors that make many investors interested to join the project is the concept that provided. besides, a project will be judged by a good performance of the team in developing the project in order that the project grows up and become a big project. it would be great if the project already has a real product so that investors will be more confident to join it. because they have seen the real performance.

[kenborbs]

I am attracted to ICO which has very positive feedback on its users and investors. But of course they have must have a good vision to achieve their goals to be the most stable ICO in the market. A good and dedicated team is need in order to survive, because a there are tons of ICO's in the market today which are some started to fail because of its poor support on their investors.

[Abigail Asi]

Honestly, I want a very ICO that can generate huge profits so I don't go for just any ICO but good ICO.

[Haytim]

of course I want money at the same time I see the future of the crypto world bright. I think investing with good research will provide an advantage in the future. I have a lot of expectations.

[pekcoin01]

Initial token prices on the ICO are low. If you buy early, it gives you a bonus.
If ICO catches SoftCap, it enters the market and everyone who buys it makes money.
I entered the Quarkchain ICO. I invested 1 ETH, earned 15 ETH. It's super, is not it?

I want ICO can bring their concept and roadmap into crypto market ( reality ). Project will have value if they can list and survive in market, with out that they will die. If ICO can survive, trader and investor can replace their money and get income to change their life. Simple explanation and never lost faith my friends.

I think that ICO should have some ready-made products available for us to use first, secondly it should have a detailed white paper introduction, and it can have someone responsible for real-time communication with investors on social software such as TWITTER telegram! I think this kind of ICO credibility is higher!
