Why do investors want to buy ICO even they know there are a lot of scammers?

[gostop]

This is related to the history of cryptocurrencies, and you can observe the cryptocurrency market in 2017. Ethereum costs only $11. Yes, this is true, but at the end of 2017, the price of Ethereum shocked cryptocurrency investors around the world. I have to admit that Ethereum created the myth of ICO, but the myth is time-limited. Extreme conditions will make Ethereum quickly depreciate. Humans are often crazy about pursuing interests.

  I was always wondering about it. I know that no one wants to lose their money in investing . Everyone is investing in ICO  simply because they see the potential of the project.They expect the price of coin will increase after being listed on the floor. And so, they decide to invest with the expectation that the coin will bring them profits.
   In addition, ICO is a form of investment that gives individuals great opportunities. If only Angel Investors or Venture Capital Funds had invested in startup projects at an early stage, So far, the ICO has allowed all individual investors, with a small cap of just $ 100, to be able to participate.Investments in this embryonic stage will of course be risky. However, if you are lucky to find the next Facebook, Amazon, Google … next, the money you earn will not less.

Icos are very risky. You are right about that. But people can earn very fast and big amount money from icos if they decided to invest in right ico. Because of that too many people trying to their chance about icos and they are investing. We can not be sure about icos. We are only looking their whitepapers and websites and we dont know more than that. But people is taking these risks for earning big amount of money.

I think it is not just the project that they consider why investors are still investing. It is because of their passion and who they really are. Investors are almost the same as entrepreneurs who are willing to risk their money for the sake of profit.

Every ICO investor will know the characteristics of a project that is scam so they will research carefully so as to avoid fraud. Investment at ICO at the moment is not promising, many tokens have high prices during ICO, but when it has been listed in several exchanges the price has dropped dramatically. I think they choose to invest long-term for a new project, because they believe when market recover the price of tokens that he holds will rise dramatically.

People keep investing in icos even if they know or they should know that most of them are scams, but they do it because they're greedy, they just want to invest a few hundred dollars and multiply that money many times over, this can be extremely attractive for people that have a very low amount of capital because it will be impossible for them to obtain meaningful profits if they invested in any other market other than this one.

Its the same thinking why people still invest on those 2% per day investment schemes. As long as they are paying they go for it. They have separate funds for those kind of scams and they are ready for it. To those who invest in ICO's, once the token is listed in exchanger's, they sell right away to gain back what they invested. The problem is if the token got listed, what if its not listed, that's a big problem.

I believe that the investors has a big hope on the project they invest on, even though there are many scam project looking for their prey.
And perhaps the investors already making sure that the project they invest on is the real legit project.

ICO's last 2017 could easily return 10x on your initial contribution once the token hits an exchange. That's the reason for the ICO boom last year.
This is not the case now due to the bear market. Even ICO's with good teams are struggling to meet soft cap.

No one invest money without knowing the advantages and disadvantages in ICO's. Investors research on every ICO's and they check their previous projects and success. When it comes trading they will be very careful, their motto is to get profit until the token value increases they will hodl it patiently they are super power of trading. Mostly they plan for long-term investment and get a good return of investment.

Investors split their investment in 10 projects and they recover all there investment and profit from one project, In share market also investor recover all there investment from one projects and not from all projects.

Split make a better investment

The reason is the same as in IPOs and kickstarter, everyone wants to get in the ground floor of the next big thing as in regular investment, most of them fail. This not only the problem of ICOS, it is the same in other fund rising startups.

Because they're lazy ). They just need to spend few minutes to send their ETH or BTC to investment address then all they have to do is waiting till ICO ended. But you should know that investors always have their own way to find out good ICO projects and scammers so they know which one is good to invest in and it's the main reason why investors keep investing while there are so many scam project

[anisoptera]

Because it's still a good investment object. Despite the market is up or down there is still point in investing in it. Banks the least place to keep your money in as there it's only shrinking while  being still. So better to invest it in something then slowly loosing it.

[antoarwadi]

In my experience, because ICO is a shortcut to generating profits in crypto investments, the profits given by ICO can multiply if the project is successful and the price increases in the crypto market. ICO fraud can be avoided through research on the ICO and trusting experienced ICO managers.

Most of the projects Altcoins will be dead in 1-2 years. But of course there will be those who implement their ideas and succeed. It is important at this stage to identify these projects, to invest in them more
