HOW TO MAKE ICO's PROFITABLE AGAIN

[popsywura]

Lately, we've seen that investing in crowdsales are no longer profitable due to ICO's favouring VCs and private investors. These set of investors receive heavy bonuses with almost no lock up periods at all. Consequently, they dump these tokens at listing on exchanges and crash the prices below the ICO price, resulting in big losses for smaller investors. As a result, it's difficult to make 5x - 10x from ICO price anymore.

As an investor, one of the best ways to curb this and make ICO's more profitable again is to focus on crowdsales. You have to make a conscious decision to invest in only projects with good lock up periods for VC's and private investors. These lock up periods is what guarantees that the guys with big bonuses don't dump on us. A project with good and experienced team, working product, good token metrics, use case, and considerable lock up periods for VCs and private investor should ordinarily do well in the market.

Your use of terminologies can be further breakdown for the purpose of new entrants into the cryptosystem for easy understanding. Not everyone will understand what you mean by "VC" and the rest.

A lot of ICOs fail due to investors that are afraid of getting scammed, majority of the ICOs this year failed because there had been a lot of ICOs who ran with investors money. Some investors are making quick profits with ICOs that's why some ICO investors are turning away from investing on it.

To my mind first of all it is better to back the trust and escrow to the ICOs, that may guarantee the refunds to the inestors in case the project may appear the scam, and of course it will make the ICOs more trustworthy. And it would be great if the escrow will give the collected money to the team step by step according to the Roadmap - it will give no chance to the people get all the collected money and disappear.

Sometimes I think these big farms and investors encourage teaming up as a big investment entity. If you are small you face lots of challenge to invest created by them. So to control the market the only way is to team up as big group

[Slipmanndark]

There has to be a demand on the market for ICO's and cryptocurrencies overall.

There are many different ways, but all of them are based only on integrating the possibilities of bringing to responsibility developers and verifying the identity of developers. This is probably one of the most important problems.

Long term investment can be a solution to make ICO profitable according to my point of view. The team has to be well organized and transparent so that the people can rely on them to invest on what they offer.

That’s pretty much about it. You see that an ICO startup isn’t an easy process. It requires tons of work from development, to management and marketing in all the possible platforms. Hire excellent individuals to construct a business that’s worth investing into.

No person should expect profit from ICOs in a short time after making investment. He / She should wait for the ICO to achieve their goal in a certain period. And the ICOs must be promising about what they trying to achieve.

It need to be more patience and do more research on how to be profitable in ICO . We can take good advice from those who are already more profitable in ICO project.

[Denreal]

Yes, private investors most especially gain more from ICOs than other investors. That is  why most of the sell at ridiculous prices whenever the tokens are listed on exchanges. For this reason, some ICO teams have now decided to lockup the bonuses meant for private investors.

[priscadavids]

Regulations should be done and investors should be by accreditation

Lock up period will be the most important part for this and have to focus on its actuality. If the project will good then investors need not worry,  leniency is the main key for success in Cryptocurrency.

Most people hesitate to invest in ICOs as there might be a chance of being scammed by the ICOs. If we want ICOs to be a profitable sector of investment then these scammers need to be taken care. Otherwise, investors will be discouraged.

[Agaventy]

Lock it up. glutton will try to feed on those small investors which believes in the project and If the project is good then investors need not worry.

[Zumulong]

you can increase icos profit by  focus on crowdsales. it is easy way to increase profit. it is secure and potential. it is more trusted in crypto people. if you want  to get more profit you should justify before investment.

[REYVAN]

the parameters you mentioned can indeed be considered, however, it's not that simple. many other factors such as market movements and others. and I personally don't understand it all.

[Woundur]

in short time investment you can not gain profit. you should make a plan for long time investment. i think then you can expect.

[enellf]

from my opinion i think you have to wait for gain more profit. on the very first time you can not gain. you have to wait and see the market condition . on basis of market condition then you have to deal.

ICO can still be profitable when we think of the long term return of that ICO but the ICO have to be good it has to have really life value and use for it to sustain the tide happening in crypto right now.
