Yes of course it is risky to invest with our money but still there are still a legit ICo's that will make your investments grow. I think you just need to be more careful because of some people that making a scam ICO's and I think it is responsibility of the investor to know the the background of the ICO that he/she wanted to invest to prevent from losing any amount in their investments.

Basically, the crypto space is becoming way bit saturated and alot of money is coming in and going. So many people want to leverage in that by running ICO and taking up people money without any viable product. To be safe, it's advisable to invest in a project that have a product or at least a prototype.
Actually the crypto market is not so much saturated and there is still option for people to invest in any of the coins that are available in the market. However those who have limited information about such thing often fall prey to the ICO thing and majority of the ICO are not much instrumental in imparting the growth to investment which is the reason the why investment in ICO is risky.

It is not easy to find a great ICO with an advanced project unless you have the very core information about what to invest in and why keeping the market graphs in the mind.
This is because many ICO are coming with fake projects and people are slowly giving up from ICOs and there tokens. I've been work with some ICO projects but they all closed their projects and ran away.

Because many irresponsible people want to take benefits from crypto growth and they dont have real project. Some ICOs very slow when want to land on exchanger and it make investor waiting too long.
actually in terms of investing all have their advantages and disadvantages, both in property, gold, or digital currency, and another in terms of ICO investment, what can be said is gambling where we gamble so that the ICO price can be very good. but at ICO there are many risks from starting fraud and the legality of a country depending on where we are silent. However, behind these risks, there are several advantages of ICO investment, the price is very cheap and if the project of a company is very successful, the ICO price will be greatly increased and we will get several times the profit.

Anything related to ICO somehow carries certain risks, so you need to be careful, but nevertheless no one is insured!

It is very risky to invest in an ICO because you do not know if it is a prestigious project or not. I believe that there are very few good projects now that are open to selling tokens and most are phishing projects or bad ideas. This is a harsh market and you should be careful in investing in projects.

It risky because not all ICO has successfully reach their target, some do not continue on their  project, that is why you have to really know which ICO you would like to invest to and make sure it is legit. for those who invest in ICO will make all their effort to make it successful.

All have their own risks, many people are successful after investing in ICO and vice versa, many have suffered losses after dealing with ICO, I think there must be one lawful management to overshadow ICO so that it doesn't lead to a scam.

All of the risks you listed do exist but there is no escape from them.I’m not afraid to take risks when investing. The only embarrassing moment when investing is fraudulent projects. Recently, fraudsters have learned to disguise themselves well. I’m sure that as soon as algorithms are created that exclude completely fraudsters the investment climate will improve.
Every ICO contain risk there's nothing in world that provide you money without taking any risk. Its just a part of our life we have to step in in order to make money.

ICO projects have entered our lives with an incredible pace last year. People who follow the market very closely through these projects have very serious boilers and users who do not follow the market too could only hear information about projects. This investment sector, which saw a significant increase in the last year, managed to earn significant investments in the first quarter of this year, but unfortunately such investments cannot offer as much guarantee as before and cannot provide as much profit as before. Everyone can clearly see the end of the era of being rich by investing in ICO. And what risks does this investment vehicle have? Why is it not so favorable or favored by many investors today? Have you ever wondered the answer to these questions? In this article, I will tell you the answers and the reasons for all these questions.


Virtual Product

Virtual products are the first to be trusted or unreliable in ICO projects. The point to be mentioned with the virtual product word here is the expectation of profit margin return with the sale of a real and non-existent product. A token (product), which is not yet in the market, is sold to investors with a certain value. The investor thinks that when he buys these tokens, he will sell them with certain values and in some projects, he cannot go beyond imagination from some projects. In short, we are paid for a product that does not have any value yet and we think that we will sell it more profitably in the future. In this case, successful projects do not take place in some projects or completely explode in the hands of the investor.

Fancy Dreams

It is another risk factor related to the topic mentioned in a higher title. Once the project team has set a price for its product, it also tells its investors the price to sell. It is wrong to make such a clear value estimate for a product that is not yet completed or a product that has not yet been completed. As a result, each project will be successful and reach the target price and it can pass the price is not a rule. For example, let's say we get 10,000 X-Tokens for 1 ETH. The project team is going to sell this imaginary by stating that the value of these 10,000 X-Tokens will be 3 ETH. Then, we start to dream with this money. The big day is coming, and without any mishap the project is achieving success. In this case, the dreams sold to us become reality and we are doubling our money (who knows, maybe more?). But in case the project is not successful, our money is either decreasing or completely disappearing. In this case, the dreams sold to us are frustrated and have no value. This is why ICO projects sell us a dream when they actually offer investment opportunities.


Discenterless Management

The fact that many ICO projects have decentralized management is another risk factor. Since there is no center, the product to be produced or the imagination sold to us is open to many speculations. For this reason, our investments can be seriously valued with severe changes and serious losses may be experienced. It is important to note that this risk factor is present in many types of cryptocurrencies.

Law

Undoubtedly, I think many people know or predict this risk factor. In the crypto money market, unfortunately, there is no formal rule-of-law or formal legal framework (although not a few states try to take measures). Because this is not a legal framework or a rule framework, the investments in such imaginary products can be very risky for this reason. Of course, high risk means high earnings, but you are not able to do any legal action when you are defrauded in your investments. It is for this reason that many litter projects have recently made ICO and have made serious gains by making big picks.

Risk

Another risk factor that can be linked with an upper substance is trust. Since there is no legal regulation in this market, we can face many trust shortages when investing. Therefore, doing a detailed research on the members of the project team before making an investment will help us achieve a very useful result. With this research, the problem of trust will be solved and at least one risk factor will be reduced.

What is the biggest risk factor that makes you feel uneasy when investing in ICO? I am waiting for your answers with your explanations short or long.


ICO investment is really risky because no black and white agreement between both parties but all people those who are a member of this team or involvement of ICO projects are aware because they know already since  the beginning that this is a virtual business no black and white evidence loyalty is the fundamental alliance before both parties are engage in business in crypto currency.

The scamming activities is very high and most of the successful one always get dumped after listed in exchange and thus make you to loss money heavily.  Majority of this year ico are already down over 80%.

very risky because we cannot confirm directly whether the project really exists or not, we can only see the information through the website provided

What kind of black and white document would you like to see? The one that guarantee your profit in the future? When will people learn that there is no
guarantees in this world, especially when it come to investing money. Icos are risky simply cause they are in the beginning of something, where they will be in few years. When ever we talk about the future we need to know that is just trying to predict it, nobody can be 100% sure about anything. When you cant be sure in something you are guessing, when you are guessing with your money you are risking it.

If this happen continuously people will not only leave ICO projects but bitcoins and cryptocurrency too. Should be stopped I must say.

Yes of course ICO still risky to invest with our money because lot's of ICO's that are being launched this year is so many scam project that you will really regret of investing to them. But still there are some ICO that will make your investments grow, I think you just need to be more researcher in looking in those ICO's to prevent from losing any of your investments.

Ico investment risky because not good price as the ico team and owner promised after getting and listing at exchange market, many ico after success at ico sale list with drop and lower price at exchange market.
There are types of investors that are the risk lovers, the risk averse and the risk neutrals. Among the three, the risk lovers would go to invest in ICO if there is more return n future at the cost of less risk. The risk averse and risk neutrals will not invest because they prefer returns and not risk.

So these are the guys that think investment in ICO is risky and this is very logical as well because generally investment is determined by the history of returns and since many people have lost to ICO lately, they now prefer to refrain investing again.

The ICO now is become too risky because I see all project is not giving a good result in this year and many of them delay the project. I think many investor worries about this situation because they cannot make a profit in this year and they still asked the team when they can refund or start to sell the token so they can take their money back.

If only it went smoothly for the market last year maybe we have a better one today. Only the hype of BTC dragged most of the alts, it was a good opportunity to engage in ICOS until then. The day comes and boom most ICOS are being said as scam or ponzi projects and there it goes-tainted the name and some other few coins that is worth the trust. The market today is at where it supposed to be, if another big fall donw of prices then I can't imagine anymore what could happen to crypto currencies.
in conditions like now it is very difficult to find ico who can bring benefits we must be good at analyzing and of course for now the luck factor is greatly affected by the many scams and frauds that often occur in the future it will be better
