Although there are many good ideas out there, aren't you safer to invest in an ICO which already has a functioning and proven product? ROI is much more likely in this scenario

If you find an ICO which can offer its product then send here the link, I think that you will find many investors.
ICOs with product is not for small investors, good example is Telegram ICO.

It is definitely much safer! Not so easy to find ICO's like that. There is so much hype around ideas and in the first half of 2018, many of these ideas that raised a huge amount of capital flopped and investors lost everything - Gems and Rentberry to name 2

Check ICOs at www.icoguide.com they have realistic rates and not paid ones, so it might help.

The Binance ICO was only rated 3.6 on ICObench... Crazy to think about that now!

Most icos do not have a working product already. Most of them are just proposals and they are hoping to launch their product in the future. It's best if one me can see any ico that has a working product. This would be a good one one with good potentials in the future

Are you serious? All ICO must have whitepaper, it's the full information present of the ICO and company. Eventhough when an ICO already have their product, they must also have whitepaper. ICO without whitepaper will be listed to scam project by the community.

Yes of course, it is a good confidence to see that the ico that I want to invest have already a working product. This means that their project is a legit one. And it is a good target to those investors that aims to have a good place to their investment.

Yes, I understand this. It means not ONLY a White Paper. A product plus a White Paper is the best option Smiley

Having an actual product is definitely an improvement on being asked to invest solely on the back of a whitepaper but I would caution that many of those that are raising money with a product are projects that raised their first money from another source and are just using the ICO as a cashgrab for a project that has exhausted its initial funding without achieving enough success to be funded further from traditional sources of venture capital. It is less risk but don't be fooled into thinking that means no risk.

Great point. Shouldn't be too difficult to work out if that is the case but as with everything, do research

Yes, of course, an ICO that has a working product and interesting ideas will always be collecting more money than an ICO that has only white paper. I think that a work product is already a big argument for investing in ICO.

Certainly safer, but there are none. Projects can show an MVP, which in fact has no value. Investors need to simply stop and do not buy tokens of strange projects, and then the situation in the market will force to change the attitude towards ICO.

As you say to invest in project which has a only whitepaper not a product is risky. But the projects with products are a few and they are only for private investors not for public sale.

It's true that I agree with you, but my money sees a lot of ico who do not have a product and they only give promises and benefits in the future, this is a problem for investors to invest because of doubts about teamwork with the project, maybe you can advise a project that good for investing

If a good project has a product before crowdsale or raising funds then I personally think it's worth investing into.

So investing in an ICO that already has a functioning product is a very good idea that can bring big profits in the future. The risks of losing money are minimized, and the opportunity to profit increases.
