Aside from discounted rates when purchasing tokens before public launching, what else can a potential investor benefit from investing in an initial coin offering?
What do they do when the coin comes to a crash when it goes public? How do these companies protect the interests of their investors?

Let's put it this way.. An investor will invest on something.. Therefore it will expect a profit later on.. Business and investments as usual. And pointing on putting money on ICO's, it can also applied.

But compare to the usual "investments", putting money on ICO is way more risky. Even how hype and good the project is, they are not safe from the happenings on the market. But even how risky it is, there are really people who really wants to invest on here because of the main reason, which is obviously to gained big profits later on once it established a good market price.

How companies protect their investors? Literally not part on the agreement at most of the cases. Companies must continue to work day by day to show that they are seriously pushing the project on the top. They must maintained the trust of their investors at any cost. In case of a crash, yes a buyback is a must but that will not solved the issue depends on the market trend. So for this, they just have to remained focus on their goals and people must see that.

When the investors decided to invest in ICO they become the early adopter, they will got discounts and usually extra coin, the crash is usually happened when it hit the exchanges where the investors and bounty hunters going to dump the coin, if the coin got potential then the investors will hold it for long term or even buy more when the price become cheaper, there are several way from the developer to prevent sudden crash, like giving more interest if the investors want to hold it for long term, or limited the coin that can used by the investors in some period time

Getting a discount is the only benefit from investing in an ICO.
In more than 90% of all cases, tokens will be sold on exchanges with lower prices.
Many investors wait for the token to be listed on exchanges to buy it, it is also a way to avoid investing in scam ICOs.

Some ICOs are offering a buy back if something goes wrong, so you already have your security that your lose wouldn't be so much, and yes, what you said that you gave your self the chance to buy a lot of tokens or coins in a much cheaper price, so when it lunches and the price went sky rocketing you will definitely gain a big amount of profit. I think that is good enough to know for me to consider it as advantage.

Right.I agree with you.Once the ICO had successfully end up reaching the highest market cap,you as an investor will also benefit the most.You can earn a very huge profit in an instant.So once you choose to be an investor,make sure you know the ICO well and the potentials of the the team behind it.

This is just the reason I saw that I must invest in ICO. If I discount 100% or 50% of the price then I will be profitable once it listed in exchange. However, because of the red market a lot of ICO right today that are dumping when they hit on exchange. Sometimes, they 90% down in their ICO price which the investors disappointed with.

Getting in early of course is an advantage. This also is the riskiest time to invest. Risk/Reward.

Of recent icos have not been in their best performance.  But never the less there are still.some ico that are performing well on exchange and the advantage of participating in them is that you get to buy more at a cheaper rate and sell high when its being listed

[bce]

the advantage of investing in ICO is that the losses are not too big, we only get time losses, now it is very difficult to get ico, which really can benefit investors.

[lihongjing]

The only advantage of ICO investment is equal investment. This means that everyone can participate in investment in good projects. It is different from traditional financial investment. Traditional financial investment projects are usually monopolized. Other than that, the ICO project has no advantages, all of which are shortcomings.

if the team and developers are serious they should provide special funds to monitor market prices and are willing to buy back if prices fall very deep, because this will give investors and users confidence.

You think the team really wants to be wasting their time on that when they have other better things to do? It is the market, basically, if you want to be buying into the market at a lower price and you believe in the long term, you will definitely do so.

Considering the market on its own is not really favorable at the moment when it comes to growth, I guess whoever is investing should probably know that already anyway before deciding to invest and should be ready to know how to manage their funds while doing so.

Most serious investors are not always about the short term, and as long as the team tends to make the product go into usage, in the long run, the value will increase, which in this case, real investors are always in it for the long term.

There are numerous advantages of investing in icos such as, you get to enjoy high return of profit on your investment.
You need not to posses any skillto be able to invest.
Your investment is determinent on your financial position per time.
You become a shareholder.

[harapan]

token provider companies must have a reserve fund to maintain the stability of the price of tokens on the market. it is also to maintain investor confidence

It's crazy to believe that every ico will bring profit, many icos are just schemes for taking bitcoins and ethereums from people. I have some investments in icos, but for me those investments are not for fast money making, I hold them for the future, I belive that idea behind of some them can have real purpose in future, when that comes and if that comes I will have them in my wallet.
My advice for new investors in icos is to look in future before they invest money now, it can be a long run before they become successful but that can be very worthy.

[LieTOme]

The advantage is the possibility to earn huge profit if the project would be successful because ico has small value of coin and if it is got listed in multiple exchange the possibility of increasing of value is there but there are many scam ico right now that is why be careful on that.

very true what you convey in your opinion about the benefits of ico but for now and conditions like now many investors are afraid to follow the ico because a lot of which ends with a scam and we experience a loss of time and costs even though not so big

[Dudeperfect]

Definitely, investing early gives the benefit of the discounted price but on the other hand, one can get early access to the projects which is still not open to the public. I have seen some projects where early investors have exclusive access to try the product or service of the ICO issuing company. This reduces the ordinary risk of investing in similar rolled out projects due to the cost associated with it. However, it also has a different kind of risk associated with the investment.

The ICO I haves invested in when I started cryptocurrency never actually did me well, so it has actually made me stay clear off it but nonetheless there is always that huge discount involved and also better opportunity to earn huge profit  so am working towards overcoming the fear of what I have lost and key back into ICO as I hva know better now

Mostly they are trying to return all of the funds to investors if the project received some problems at some stage, but mostly if we get to token sale and value of token go down x10-100 times nobody cares about that because token released and all of investors lose their funds and never experienced that some campaigns after they fails at coming to exchange with not good price started to return investments

[Reid]

It always goes to a crash after listing. It just keeps on happening.
Strong hands are needed to keep them on a stable price and I dont think there is much investors who does that.
It is all about the money by now. After even a .01 Usd profit they run away and take that profit to Vegas to gamble it.

It will always be a risk. There is no assurance to what might happen since you dont know who the buyers are or what strategy are they doing.

Investing in an ICO when the market is in bearish mood not profitable.
