My experience after 1 year of buying ICO !

[neli234]

In the current crypto market situation, not having to buy a token is such a big profit as early in 2018 and my personal experience for nearly a year. I have some share for you especially new members coming to the crypto world some of my personal experience:
- Check the development team:
Analyze the team behind the ICO and see if they are successful. If the ICO Founding Teams have not had any successful business activity - do not choose to trust them. Make sure that the founders have a clear orientation. They all have to prove their ability from previous projects to be able to "qualify" to receive your investment. All must be transparent with information such as Twitter profile, linkedln .. authentication.
- Make sure the market capitalization is fixed, the excess ICO token is destroyed and there will be no further offers in the future:
With the ICO surplus at the moment, one of the most common of these is that the projects do not reach the initial funding they set. Therefore, it is crucial that the token issuers immediately destroy the excess amount immediately after the offer is over. It will ensure that the current token supply corresponds to the market demand, keeping the balance of the economy.
- The project needs to be based on a groundbreaking Blockchain platform in its field:
You should read the whitepaper thoroughly and ensure that Blockchain is an integral aspect of the project and that it adds a unique value and competitive edge to the idea behind the ICO. It is important that the ICO Services / Products must have core values ​​and breakthroughs that are enough to create a fever in the user community.
- Make sure the founders want to get rich from their own tokens, not the Ether numbers they earn through the ICO:
It is important to know the developer's ideas for the project directly. It will be very transparent if it is easy to contact the founders at any time, Telegram or other social networks and make sure they do not use the money for other purposes, but instead try to increase the token value.


**) The current advice is only for projects that are good (achieving most of the above conditions) you should buy:
 The token from this current ICO is very rare. The best time to buy this token is in fact when the currency is accepted to be listed on a trading platform after the ICO ends.
Conversely: If you have missed out on buying a token from a project that is not good  (no hardcap, no airdrop, bounty), you should sell your token right away when listing on a trading platform.

Maybe my English is not easy to understand, thank you

thank you, sharing very helpful. There is currently no good time for ICO selling projects, with most developers moving their plans to the end of the year or early next year. You can put this article in the beginer & help section more reasonable

That is a good move, ensuring that you could meet with the investment to make a serious profit. But as of now, investing in ICO is in a rare case due to the current market situation. Most of the investors are waiting for the exchange listing because they know that the coin they love will surely go below its ico price.

This would be a nice guide especially for those new investor to an ICO . Knowledge about these guidelines is a must so they  will be able to identify the proper ICO where to invest.

Yes, the current market is not favorable for new ICO projects, people should switch to usdt or buy coin in the top. Prices are really cheap now

You have copied the whole idea from here- http://adprofuturenet.com/references-6-principles-of-ico-investment-you-should-know-in-the-bubble-era/
It's really weird that people plagiarise for having a single merit. Lol. Some people are also encouraging here. I think people should check first before throwing a comment.

Yes since this forum had change the rule now demoted members try to get merit by all means. maybe by buying merit or even copying topics from a web that is not well known, hope no one will be know about this. But people will be suspicious when they see the history post, which is you always just post on bounty, then you making a good topic so they will search it. Why are they not trying to make their own topics or buy copper membersip.

[anobtc]

This is useful for both Bounty participants, so really now we need to choose ICO very carefully so as not to waste time and money. But it is important to pay attention to what time of the market, if as the second half of this year I think will be very difficult to succeed.

[engrawaz]

These are all good points but I think this will not necessarily work in the future. The community has matured much more and given the fact that almost 99% of ICOs are just vapourware, people are just speculating in ICOs.
I don't say that ICO market is dead but it will simply transition into the next phase, which are use cases, products and solving an existing problem.

[BQ]

I think your final point about founders wanting to get rich from the token + easy to contact, I think the first point is arguable.
it's not about getting rich short term for any serious inventors, I think so at least. getting rich from the token = might aswell pump news like tons of shitcoins do, and then sell and let it die.
and easy to contact, really? they should have far more important things to do than to sit in telegram!

but it was a good post

[halpi]

Id like to say that this is useful but I can`t. Such general advises.

We would rather want to read about you real results, your ROI, most successful ICO, your mistakes, etc. And not such general things.

Have you really invested?

[Devastatorxx]

with current suspicious market for ICO if i find a project that meet all the top thread requirement and the Devs are going to implement there tokens in the project is it good chance to invest or i should back off till things become clearer.

Quite good English, what kind of translator did you use?

Experience for one year buying ICO can not be use as a yard stick to generalize ICO investment in the cryptocurrency space, Let me state that year 2018 is an exceptional year, where the market has been bearish for a long while, And this is base on year 2017 astronomic growth  of the market trend, the market is still evolving, lots of ICO will tend to extinction

2018 so far has being a quite year and waiting for the rise to pick up now. 2017 also was same other than the last 2 months. But overall ICO coins will depend how much influence and potential the coin has what will be its demand in coming times based on it the price will the factor.

[Marcel555]

Selecting an ICO to invest in has become increasingly difficult, and this has been heightened by the bearish market which chokes out poorly organized projects.
During the bull run of last year, developers could simply gamble with the booming market to boost their coin once it hits the market without putting any effort into sustaining the project and it would buy them lots of time to make an exit.

2018 has been different and only highly quality projects backed by an experienced and commited team can succeed.
Exhaust every available resource at your disposal when picking an ICO to invest in.
If possible seek the advise of more knowledgeable cryptocurrency enthusiasts and follow expert opinion and not hype or promises.

[Harlod Benjamin]

such a nice guide you have here. Thank you for your useful sharing. I think I already learnt something from you. Good luck to both of us.

However much time you invest doing a pre-check on the whitepaper, team, and so on, chances are that the ICO won’t turn out well. According to a New Study: 80% of ICOs are Scams, Only 8% Reach an Exchange:

80% of the ICOs were scams from the get-go.
6% failed. 
5% died in the process.
8% manages to reach the exchanges, but only half were successful.

Chances are that unless we are outstanding at doing our due-diligence, our investment portfolio will have a similar distribution to the above.

One of the core factors to consider is whether a given ICO really requires blockchain/tokens to exits, or if this is artificially pumped-in into the deal to make it crypto attractive (even though the product/service could be created just as well outside of the crypto sphere). The former is a better bet than the latter.

Thanks! What's you profit (in %)?
