How to choose a good project for investment?

[Aponkye1]

Investment strategies are very necessary when it comes to crypto investments and in the case when you are looking to invest in any ICO or STO. Well first of all you have to confirm the identities of the team with regards to the project whether it is not some ponzy scam that they are trying to launch to steal innocent  people's money. After this then you can go right ahead and consider the project's vision and mission and consider whether they actually have an identified situation which they plan to solve. I am sure if you are able to do your deligence with respect to these two that should get you in the start in the right direction.

Even if there is no desire to invest in new projects, you can always invest in Bitcoin, just do it wisely and at the right time, the price of Bitconi will increase in February and you can earn a little money

If you take it seriously you need to do some research: website, whitepaper, license, social media and forums, reputation and feedbacks, even customer support matters. Certainly if a project is worthy and already popular it requires bigger invensments.
On the other hand if you feel lucky you may pick any new project that looks interesting to you. By investing and believing in some unique project you may get a lot more than you expected!    It is risky but fun

It’s not that simple though really. I mean 80% of ICOs seem to have been scams, and only 8% made it to the exchanges (see 80% of ICOs are Scams, Only 8% Reach an Exchange).

The referenced link is a bit oldish now, but out of all the people that backed that 80%, I’m pretty sure that, dreamers and gullible aside, plenty of people followed the due diligence mantra. That may lower the odds of getting scammed a couple of percentage points, but there is no clear set of infallible steps to take that guarantee having hit head on with the right project. It seemed more like a funfair raffle than anything, where people should not have invested (here comes the other mantra) more than they can afford to lose.

I would call it a lottery.

I would call it a lottery.

I wouldn't call it one especially when one has a huge amount of money on the line,it could really have negative effects on such individuals and leaving them hating this network
The more reason why a lot would advice you to simply invest in the bitcoin,not to say alts aren't profitable once or twice but because it's difficult to determine which one actually will

Right now there are barely any good project that is worth it. Invest carefully.

Nowadays maximum ICO projects is a scam. In my opinion, If you want to invest in a crypto project, Deposit your Bitcoin/Ethereum in the best exchanger like Binance, OKEx,
Bitfinex etc.
scroll https://coinmarketcap.com and chose your favorite coin after choosing,
view a day or weekly chart if you see the market going uptrend from the bottom like this picture buy and hold it. I think its better then ICO investment.

Very valid point.  Most ICO projects I have seen all come through the gate with high expectations and price only to jump of the cliff and drop like a rock.  Keeping that in mind, it is a choice of fundraising by the developers behind it. 

I agree with you Sarah, watch the project, see what it is doing, do your research and take your time.  Look at your personal goals.  Are you only looking for a short term (3-5day) investment? or something longer term?  If your going for long term, what is another weeks wait? Take the time to fully look at the project, it's goals, roadmap, whitepaper, team, community. 

I know many will say this, it's repeated often but yet so many actually take the advice or fully look at what they are about to do with their money.  Be safe, invest responsibly.

They're not all scam. You just have to choose which one that you have thoroughly investigated. Although there are some that later on announce they are canceling the project but I don't think they'd be doing it without refunding. There are good projects out there, you just have to check whether the concept can be applied to the blockchain real well.

[vagrom]

Now ICO reputation has stinked, I personally have no ability to distinguish, I choose to rely entirely on feelings.

[meetreopen]

It's simple. No investing in ICO's and only investing in projects that already have a working product.

[Cardilb]

I would prefer to choose good project by their transparency in coin, response of the team to the investors ,activities of project and mainly in how many exchanges it has.

I agree with this, the ICO is now having a bad image is because of the people who enter this type of investing without making a proper research.
They are the one who cause their own loses, if they failed, they complain and they are taken advantage by the scammers.

[Adriano2010]

Yes, not all projects are scams, but these days is hard to choose a project that will bring a fast profit in short term in my opinion, and i think because the price of bitcoin not grow will be very hard to make a profit until the bull run will start.

[cizatext]

If one is not careful you will always fall in for scam ICO due to the fact that in the past we always look at the project white paper to give us the clue to what the project entails but in recent time most ICO have fine out about this and have chosen to always lie in the white paper by promising what is not real and by that misleading investors to believe that they project is real and have a working product but all this are lies. We all need to be Careful before going into any investment in any project.

[cabalism13]

Instead of looking for a project that will still just gonna run I think its better to make an investments to those coins that is already on the market. We may soon have a good value that benefits our wallets.

Finding projects like what you like isn't really a good thing to do, it will only lead you to scammers. Making their projects looks big but after ICO they will perished with their Millions of Dollars that they have collected. There are much more scams right now than the legit ones.

[Areding]

There are no projects that can guarantee your profit, but there are projects that at least work honestly, which means everything depends on you, but there are not many such projects.
