Why people invested in ICO that no guaranteed the coin will be listed?

[mmm.alexyong]

I have seen a lot new upcoming ICOs launching but I do believed most of it are not able to be listed in crypto exchanges. However, there are many believer are still blindly invest all kinds of ICOs. Why that?

Because that is what you call investing and risk taking. Sometimes those people are the rich ones who took those risk. Some of their investment will fail but some will be a success.

Why did you ask something like that while your profile promoting MMM, which is the largest ponzi scheme company with millions of people as victim all over the world?

Why do you think that most of them will not be listed on the exchange? listing on DEX and Centralized exchanges that have low trading volume is not a difficult thing for them, I'm not sure I agree with you, the question of when listed on the exchange always appeared even before the ICO is open, and I think it arises because investors don't want to invest in an ICO project that doesn't guarantee its coins will be listed on the exchange in the near future

[Lakai01]

Thats what you call "investing". People believe in those projects, therefore they are willing to invest some money early on and hope, that the investment pays out. Simple as that.

Above wrote that this is a high-risk investment, but if the project is really good, it will give x5-X10. Read whitepapper carefully and learn more about the project before investing.

I think people are buying because they heard that they can make a lot ROI without really checking the product...

Investing in ICOs is a high risk-high reward kind of investment. Some people invest knowing the risks, and some people invest simply because they're easily convinced by big crypto-buzzwords and because of greed. Investing in ICOs definitely can work and rack you in good money, that's if you know what you're doing.

[hasemase]

Greed is a big factor. They think about the 10x 100x 1000x that are possible with ico but it is the same as playing lotto. You have a chance of winning big money but the possibility is just low

[justin86]

Actually if it gets the value from the exchange it will be listed I would not invest in that ico, but exchange is important and the reason they are not listed is mostly about the project.

[nunibanuni]

The ico's which was not listed in an exchange probable don't reached their softcap. As we know ICO are doing crowdfunding here and if there aren't a lot of investors or believers with their project it may likely not succeed. In the other way around, ICO's whose been hyped gets better attention and of course more money, that is why they can afford to be listed in exchanges either by paying or community votes

[aminurrahaman]

Yes all are rushing for ICO now a days just because of in the end of 2017 few icos were gave a massive return and since then all people are rushing to make some profit from ICO. I think ICO is a good way to make money but problem is that 90% ICO's are scam, so you need to be careful and have to do lots of research before investing in an ICO.

[mu_enrico]

I think the word "investing" is wrong for most people, it should be "gambling." They just like the adrenaline rush or the hope that they will win something big.
Meanwhile, sophisticated investors really calculate risk vs return. In this case, they have their own calculation about how big the probability of a coin will be listed on exchanges.

[Itzaman]

They will contribute something they bear to lose. Since that is the thing that you call contributing and taking chance. This is a high-risk investment, but if the project is really good, it will give x5-X10. Read whitepapper carefully

[Ciscopro2000]

It’s all about high risk, and to a big extent... greed.  People feel if they get in early, they can make a lot money.  Careful, most icos don’t do anything or just outright scams. 

[njklhwioa]

The characteristics of these ICO projects are the ability to increase profits faster and higher than conventional forms, but also potentially much riskier. Before investing in any field, investors should thoroughly research and make a decision.
It is not easy to invest in an ICO. You have to choose a good ICO that has the potential to grow in the future and bring benefits to the community. Feasibility

[Posteruma]

I think not everyone invest to 'all' ICO. BEfore investing people analyse the ICO project and details. After that if they believe then invest.

[wvizmanos]

To the OP I'm sure those who invest in ICO still do some research and not just invest blindly as you think. It is their belief in the ICO that made them invest and losing is part of the ballgame.

[mithrim]

As soon as BTC rises again, people get bullish and throw their money at everything crypto-related that might yield some form of interest; sometimesout of sheer greed. This will continue to happen until a) there is no more money, b) it's regulated in the form that there are no ICOs anymore or c) until they learn. Whatever comes first

All investment carry some risk.

What I do is read the whitepaper to understand if the team is innovating a solution for a problem.
