Story time - your ICO success stories and biggest fails

[WillyZ]

My first failure following the ico project was in a dimcoin project, but behind the failure there must be success, I was very fortunate to be able to invest in utrust and electroneum projects, their project gave me a lot of profit when the coin entered the market and the project was great satisfy me with interesting features to date

Glad to hear some success stories 
Why did you decide to invest in utrust and electroneum?

Only one ICO I have taken a part of - Latoken. Didn't really think much of it at first but when December arrived my original purchase was x5. Was happy to see that growth and sold my bags, final growth before the Big January Crypto Crash was I think around x7-x8.

That was a pretty good decision. I invested in some ICOs last year and within this period as well they really increased in price hugely, and being that I was not interested to sell anyway as I was more keep about the long term prospects of what I am holding, that drew me back to some extent.

I wish I actually did sell them and I would have bought most of them back right now, have a better position more and then even have a lot of money to play around with in the long run for further investment, but we always learn from our mistakes, right? I guess I have learned from mine and I believe there would always be another chance.

yes, there will be another chance.. no doubt.
i think we shouldn't think back and wonder if i did that then i would be rich.. we would wonder this our whole life with everything. embrace the situation and learn from it

Perhaps these projects will show themselves in the distant future, but their coin prices were at the level of the company's ico price, even after listing. And today, prices have fallen lower than expected.

Well thats life and anything is done on purpose.If we missed profits or making ourself to be rich on our investments then it isnt really time for us but somehow we do really learn on our past mistakes and its not too late to cope up on what we have lost in the past.Due to experience we will really able to picture out on what would be the good projects that are worth to hold on.

A quick rewind to 2017 when the ICO frenzy was in full swing happened to have gotten into an ICO, hardcap was reached and everything was successful, few weeks after getting to exchange, a ×10 increase was seen. I can only but reminisce on those good old days.

Just read this article about ICOs and their history - http://cryptofinance24.com/the-first-icos-a-history-of-crypto-fundraising-p410-171.htm

Made me wonder, what are your ICO success stories and your failures? What has been your most successful investment, where have you lost the most etc?
Want to hear some tales.

Let's go..!

my best ICO is Lisk and waves
both bring me good profit,, but now its too hard to find a good ICO that will bring to us a good profit

In my experience, I only have few ICO investments and I had one failure which is with hashcard which turned out to be a scam, they have a great project which is a debit card I believe one of tge reason that they scammed people because they announced binance upfront wherein it is against binance rules.

Regarding my successes, I have two that would be with ETN wherein I easily got 10x my investment during the bull and currently with INS, I didnt sell at ATH but still I didn't regret my decision as they are now on the process of getting a working product.

I am now afraid to invest my money in an ICO project, because my last experience investing in an ICO ended in losing money

[ecnalubma]

I'm not an ICO investor but I'm a holding bunch of tokens I got from different campaigns and sold at good price during price surge last December to February sold most of Eidoo, Bitdegree, Electroneum, Ethlend etc. As of the moment most my holdings plunge to 70% - 90% but still not considering it a fail because it is due to bear month and I believe that project development is more important, it will create value of token or coin in the long run. Real projects will survive and scam project will always fail and pay.

well, I also rarely invest in ICO, but I often hold coins for a long time. That's good enough for me, because I got a pretty high profit in 2017. Well, but for my regret, maybe I have invested 0.1 btc in an ICO which led to a scam.

One of the first many ICO success I experienced was WABI, DRAGONCHAIN , SIMPLE TOKEN & BLUEZELLE. Also I didn't jumped out of the wagon and the winnings I've earned in these ICOs, I also lost during the very long bear market.

[Sengoko]

Success stories is when ETH is just starting up and sees the potential with smart-contracts it do really sparks my interest and i bought ETH when it was still on $1 per token and now look at on its price where im still on big profits inspite on this bearish market how much more if i do sold up on $1k price then that would be 1000x on my investment.Im still hodling though and talking about big loss then
it was the time i did make investment with Adex exchange ICO, i thought it would be a good one but i do lost up some big amounts of BTC on that project.

That is always one thing when it comes to taking advantage of the market when it is still underpriced and now if Ethereum or any market even finds a bottom, the chances of seeing it increase further is still there, so at the end, it is all about how smart you are and how you are able to quickly detect a project with potentials and key into it immediately.

Right now, ETH is still trying to find a bottom at around $150 - $200 and that is still some pretty big profit as far as I am concerned while some are considering it low at the moment.

No one really knows when investing whether it will turn out greate, and let no one tell you otherwise. What we all do is speculate and guess to see which coin is most likely not to come back and bite us.
I would say that if you buy shilled coins, then you can run into such conclusions. It's also lazy and careless. Do your own research. You just need to basically check two things for a solid coin. One is a good team. Two is a coin with a future/purpose. With those two, you can definitely be positive that what you have there is a good coin to invest in. Check out #Mevu.

[hoddddler]

I'm more of a hodler type (as you might expect from my name)    and while holding I don't think I can yet calculate my losses or wins. It is possible once I sell. No need to look at short term loss or gain while the bigger picture is to hold long time.

I have invested in Aeron ICO a year ago..Since then price has dropped significantly BUT team is going strictly in accordance with the roadmap. So..Price is at the low, but project itself is at the top. So..will figure out if my participation in that ICO was successful.

I have found out they have started very massive airdrop campaign. Im aware it may drop the ARN price in short term perspective

Yes, here is details https://medium.com/@aeronaero/cryptobonusmiles-gleam-io-157d4c1c2641
No, it wont affect the price as team will distribute the Miles ( new token in the ARN ecosystem) so it will be new tradable token and it wont affect the ARn price in any case. it is just the way to make free money

Hm..sounds good enough. Will take part in the contest for sure and deeper investigate what is Aeron and how it works/future plans of project
