is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

These days everyone is trying to have their own ICO which is making entire industry shady. People are easily falling for scams. Keep an eye on the reputation section to see the fake ICOs.

I am not saying that all ICOs are fake but there are good ICOs as well. To determine a good ICO I look for
=Good team
=The product
=Token usability
=Marketing

If these are good enough then it's ok to take some risk. Don't go all but invest that you can afford to lose.

[Ridge Crypto]

depends on the ICO, what backing they have as well as their dev team and not to mention their business model.

[keseoma]

The only thing I consider is the

"The problem" and "The solution", and if the project is "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE"!
Then research if they joined some blockchain conference!

Never trust those team info anymore, most of them are fake, it's just waste your time to research all their info!

[Andruha1993]

To properly invest you need to know a lot of nuances in order not to get to the scammers. Therefore, investing in ICO is a very complicated process.

[casperBGD]

it depends on the ICO, somewhere it is good to be in within ICO process, but there are ICOs with price that go down right after ICO, and seems that get involvment in ICO process in useless
of course, it is important to analyse all details before take part in the process

[Forbiddenone]

the main point of investing in ico is to get the token or coin in cheap price rather than buying directly from exchange but from last year we have seen that as soon token/coin hit the market ,price of the respective coin goes down due to manipulation(not happen with every coin,it is just a trend),so you can directly buy from exchange but still if your are not good at trading and just a investor than ico is good choice .

[jademaxsuy]

No, ICO's are having 80-90 percent of it are scam. If you want to earn then do not invest on ICO instead you can use your money to gamble in a pool betting or any games that could let you play and earn at your advantage. Just take some good percentage when you because it will get you higher chance to win in a bet or playing in a game.

If I were you join in the gambling section so that you will get more ideas on how to earn and make some fun.

[shoupengyangguang]

I think investing in ICO projects is still profitable, but it is not the best option because ICO projects have a lot of scams, and if you don't invest carefully, you are likely to encounter fraud.

[clonely]

I think it not enough that which ICO you make an investment only. I think, you may add the option f.

F) ALL

All that thing affect value of project. Team, financial method, reality...

[Broged]

IT depends what kinda of ICOs depends on what the ICO have to offer.
I personally think it a better move to invest in pre ICOs , active ones.
try and look for some or ask for recommandations.

[Adrianaaa]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

In my opinion its depend on the team that behind ICO to maintain coin price stable after ICO's.

[MMysterious]

I could have easily said no. But generally speaking, ICO success depends on the people behind it. Currently, we cannot deny the fact that most ICOs are either scams or if not it is not doing well once traded in the market.

For investors, there are many good tokens in the market already. It is more safer to pick any of them as they are at least already traded.

[reynald70]

Yes, this year the ICO project offers a lot of features available in the project, but there are a lot of cheating or many who fail when entering the exchange market, this is a very bad achievement to invest in ICO at this time, I am more good buy Coin that is clear and good on the market.

Scam warning are not enough in this case because all investors don't look to forums,social platforms before deciding about investing. New projects should act carefully beacuse they are also potential victim of all this scam turnover.

[kiwoh123]

of course projects that provide different things from other projects, and also I prefer to invest in projects that often carry out roadshows.
I do not like the ICO project whose team is not clear.
if you interest with stablecoin try to review Alproczk project , you can check from website click my just click my signature.

[rearwheels]

I wouldn't invest money in ICO now. Only if it is very solid and with product for real use only.
Also you can participate in Bounty campaigns of the ICO to minimize risks of loss but time is also money )

[matjas]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Right now it doesnt seem to be a good time for investments in ICOs. We usually see big private investments when they get good deals with huge discounts which they dont offer during ICOs.

[spike420211]

I guess you ask a question that has already been discussed a thousand times. No matter how good the ICO is, statistics say that 90% of them have failed, decide for yourself.

[siena23]

if you are a beginner I suggest not to invest in any ICO, because now many ICOs are deceiving. Many factors for choosing the ICO Project, if I will choose a project that will be useful for the future, because then the project will continue to grow.

[cudora]

It was a great idea in 2017, but the following year was not so bright for the ICOs industry. Almost every ICO was not able to reach the soft cap and there were too much scam projects on the market. Let us hope that 2019 would be better.

[greenclub09]

we all know the quality of the ICO depends too much the vision and the founders of that project, if the project can be well orginized and have future promising with good founders to ensure a better future, and with some luck from the green market, then it is possible to become the best ICO in this year, however choosing to invest in a ICO can be dangerous because we may not know which one is a scam.

[Riki31]

I am leaning towards the variant of investing into the ICO depending on the kind of project and what the idea and the team of the project are, and how much realistic it is for fulfilling.

[shad_ow90]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

ICO is being switched gradually to STO and I think this is precisely the true form of capital mobilization and STO will be the next step of ICO and I think you should wait until STO is completed

[Freddie Aguiluz]

Sometimes it is but sometimes it's not. Nobody can really tell whether that certain ICO we're planning to invest in will be successful or not. I always believe that having a team with strong expertise in blockchain development and with relevant market experience, will greatly boost the success rate of a project.  
Eventually the success of an ICO will usually be determined by its potential to change something within the industry. Having said that, the best we can do as a potential investor is to do our own research and act more responsibly. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile, that's why we don't commit more money than we can afford to lose.

[Pepito Manaloto]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It depends on the ICO project that you want to invest as well as the market behavior. This is basically what we are seeing at this moment. No matter how good or popular an ICO project is, negative market behavior particularly with the downtrend, will influence the outcome and the profit from investing into such projects. Maybe, it would be a better thing to wait for now until the market itself, starts to recover. That would be surely the time where ICO investment would be again, profitable.

[martin1221]

As long as you can verify the authenticity of the ICO you want to invest in, I think it is still a good investment activity. Also, a good and healthy market situation would be a required if you plan to invest in ICOs. ICOs provide bigger discount and bonus to early adopters and buying in ICO would be beneficial.

[lonelygrimm]

I think the investment in ico depends on the team behind it, if the team doing good promotion, surely the ico will also be successful. but it's usually difficult to find ico with a good team. I don't understand good team is like what.

[larrylegend33]

No, it is never good anymore. 3 years ago the ICO business were great, 2 years ago that was quite good, last year was horrible with more than %70 scam.. So if you look at this stats how would the new ICO's be? Ofcourse worst than ever.. I mean there will be good, great ICO's too but howmany percent? %5 or at most %10. So you need a great luck.. So i would recommend to stay away..

[Xmm]

I believe that in the long run, this is definitely the best solution. The market is red, but successful ICOs will have a good chance of tanking with the next positive market correction. Buying into an ICO is an investment into a company more than into a currency.

[siupang2]

Well I think now no ICOs have do their job especially in term of price, for the development there are a work in it but not at all, if there are a project do the development too the project development movement is very slow... If you want to earn some money go buy some their token in  exchange a day after listing day, I believe you will got more with the same price

[tonibyuzen]

Of course, investing in ICO can bring you great profits, but for this project to be successful in the future, as it happened, for example, with Ethereum or XRP. After 4 years, the projects made the early investors millionaires. For me, the decisive factors in choosing an ICO are an innovative idea, an experienced team of developers, a detailed road map for a couple of years ahead and support for large companies from the blockchain sphere, or large investment funds.

[last7minutes]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Depends on ICO itself, and the team, and some other factors as well. There are too many scammers now, so if you're a newbie, I'd recommend you to do loads of researches and read through this forum for advice. And don't invest all the money you have into only one project.

[Nivia1st]

I think investing in ico is currently less profitable, but that doesn't mean this is a bad choice. I just don't recommend investing in ICO, because there are many things you can do besides investing in Iico. mining and trading crypto can be a good investment choice. and I think the risk is smaller than investing in ICO.

[salad daging]

I know that everything is risky, but if we put aside the risk then I would say that investing in ICO is the best choice because the price of coins at ICO is very cheap, not to mention we will get a bonus for our investment, so isn't that very profitable? there are even some investors who can return their capital only from the bonus coins they get, so if you want to invest in ICO, try investing at the start of the ICO because the bonus is bigger

[novusordo]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Right now I don't know which ICO is good, all the ICOs I follow are bullshit projects and no future. So you should not invest in ICO in 2019, ICO is no longer an investment option if you want to burn your money.

[kidbounty]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Right now I don't know which ICO is good, all the ICOs I follow are bullshit projects and no future. So you should not invest in ICO in 2019, ICO is no longer an investment option if you want to burn your money.

yes you're right, one of them is a project that you are promoting Ethereum classic Vision. even though the project didn't do ico, but seeing the way they promote shit coin was very disgusting.

and I think ico is like a place to make money after getting their money gone. there is no blockchain project that is really implemented for the crypto community, all that is just bullshit. the ideas they talked about were only to attract fools to give them money.

[kaspabha]

Under these conditions, ICO investment is not a good choice. Even under good market conditions, ICO investments are very risky. It is needed to select a good project by the help of own hard research. If you have chosen a great project, it will make you profitable.

[sockpuppet1911]

I'd rather buy from the market after the ico has done -99%. I guess there are private investors who still profit with the teams.

[Ukaraki]

If you find a good ICO, have multiple partners and have a strong dev team to develop the project, you should invest in it without thinking. Don't invest indiscriminately on current ICO projects, the risk of losing your money will be huge

[5thFear]

There is another factor that is very important. And that is the timing of launch of the ICO. An ICO launched at a good time can be very successful, i mean, an ICO if launched around Nov, 2017 would had a lot of chance to be a big success whereas if launched in Nov 2018 will have very difficult time to gain some investment.

[GunsLair]

I chose the option in which a good team is important. And I think that it is the team that makes up 99% of the success of the project, since they are the creators and should invest all their strength and knowledge in the product in order for it to be a success.

[JuliaJi]

it depends from project you plan to invest, you know that 90% - is scam, so if you will learn the project - you can try

[JeromeL]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

The main decisive factor in choosing ICO for investment is primarily the development team and their experience in creating blockchain projects.
If you see people there who already have experience in creating successful projects, feel free to invest in their ICO.

[paulk11087]

I don't see it as a very logical move for the period. But it can be logical to take short-term risks and enter the market and have proven ICO investments. You can try to cover them for damage.

[kaito.]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

if the ICO project is good and real than it's a good option to invest in.
and some of the factor to invest in ICO project mostly people has the same answer.
1. working product and the use of it
2. Price (if the ICO give to many bonuses during presale or private sale then just wait for the token to get dumped)
3. HardCap and softcap
4. Team (having a good team in a different area is a good sign for ICO to join in, not all of them have to be a developer there have to be a merketer and so on)
5. Fund allocation on their project
6. Marketing (here's bounty hunter comes into play, a good ICO project would choose to hire a reputable bounty manager that choose bounty participant wisely not just some spammer that will ruin their project images)

[aprilnot]

this depends on the perception of each. some say good and some even say the opposite. and I think ICO isn't bad, it's just not so profitable to invest in ICO. I prefer to trade because it is more promising than having to gamble by investing in a new project.

[Kelvinikke]

Yes investing into an ICO is still a good investment platform but care must be taken in the type of project that you invest into. It is better to invest into projects that are very solid and also have a working product. Always do your due diligence to avoid being scammed by some thieves on the internet.

[Invigorated]

First of all, it depends on the project as well as the product and also the team behind the project. Sometime in 2017, investing in good ICOs made people very rich. But 2018 brought a whole lot of sad tales with the downward movement of the market. ICOs became a death trap and people lost massive amounts. Now, you have to very careful about investing in any ico, you must make your due deligence and hope that it turns out well. Always think about the risks associated with any investment and learn to invest within your limit.

[mutrang23]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

ICOs are like securities but it goes from the first step. We invest in any project and receive a token as a kind of dividend with a certain value. You can sell it after it is listed on the exchanges, but this is quite a problem when many investors sell all they hold, making the project's liquidity low and this killing die that project.

[Hans Groober]

I used to invest at the time of ICO and I want to say that only 1 out of three profits gives profit. No matter how well you choose.
Now I took a pause in investing during the ICO.

[robelneo]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It's a good option provided you know what kind of project you are going to invest in and knows all the risk involve investing in ICO, with the current bear market, there is a big risk involved here, but the cryptocurrency is evolving and we have a lot of new platform coming in for the community and they do it via ICO.

[qomariah95]

Investment can be anywhere, you can invest directly in altcoins and can also invest in ICO. Indeed, people are free to choose where to invest. As long as investment somewhere will make a profit. And investing in ICO is certainly a good choice, of course. And at ICO there must also be a bonus. This is one of the advantages of investing in ICO.

[amrulshare]

all factors can influence, most importantly in my opinion they are consistent and have responsibility for what they plan on the project. Besides that, there are now many projects that only prioritize the initial concept

[Ribbitforum]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Investing in ICO is a good idea if the real team and background show in there website and if the team is also reputable, you should research first before investing or you will be fall to a scam ICO

[Adunni6758]

There are now different forms of projects that are now being lunched, such as STO, IPO IEO and so on, alongside ICO, but i have always been used to ICO, expect that if i want to invest in ICO, i will have to do a lot of research, to be sure that i am in for the right project.

[blackhawkeye1912]

the main point of investing in ico is to get the token or coin in cheap price rather than buying directly from exchange but from last year we have seen that as soon token/coin hit the market ,price of the respective coin goes down due to manipulation(not happen with every coin,it is just a trend),so you can directly buy from exchange but still if your are not good at trading and just a investor than ico is good choice .

The point of the creator of the thread is that compared to other investment ventures would ICO investment better. Let's all admit that 2018 was not a good year to invest in most ventures here in cryptocurrency including ICOs. But for 2019, other ventures will still be better than ICO investment, however it is expected to be better this year.

[FastSlots]

Investing in ICOs is a good option if you have enough knowledge to track which gonna hit and which is not, then yes, ICO projects are not harmful to you! Rather this will be a very good option to be successful in crypto platform! Otherwise try to avoid investing in ICOs, do invest in stable coins and do a trade or hodl them!

[jajorforce]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It is a good choice for 2016 2017, when the new coin market is formed. But in the last 2018, it was tragic with ICO, only nearly 4% of successful ICO. The remaining is almost investors losing money on dead or deceptive projects. ICO investment is very good, but it must be investigated carefully.

[gerjiss]

It all depends on what kind of ICO you want to invest in, but still I think that now is not the best time to invest in ICO.

[kucing garong]

These days everyone is trying to have their own ICO which is making entire industry shady. People are easily falling for scams. Keep an eye on the reputation section to see the fake ICOs.

I am not saying that all ICOs are fake but there are good ICOs as well. To determine a good ICO I look for

=Marketing

If these are good enough then it's ok to take some risk. Don't go all but invest that you can afford to lose.

[antsam]

ICO is still a good investment choice, as long as studying the ICO in depth through their whitepaper and seeing the track record of the people behind the project and qualified advisors who already have experience managing ICO projects.

[r_uyab]

I think it depends on ICO. if the project held by the team is very good for me, also a good way to buy tokens at ICO is still running, so the price I get from ICO is still cheap.

[bezzler]

Everything would be depend on the future chance and the quality of the ICO itself, also based on everyone behind the ICO and many other parameters that sometimes un imaginable. For Investors should be able to filter all those possibilities to choose any good ICO to invest on.

[Ukaraki]

Investing in ICOs is a good option if you have enough knowledge to track which gonna hit and which is not, then yes, ICO projects are not harmful to you! Rather this will be a very good option to be successful in crypto platform! Otherwise try to avoid investing in ICOs, do invest in stable coins and do a trade or hodl them!

Not many people have experience in investing in ICO, In 2018 people invest in ICO not selectively and the result is hundreds of ICO scam. Now not many people really invest in ICO, only big companies are possible

[Lilianaser]

If the ico is good and clear, I think investment in ico can be made a good choice, the team involved in an ico is also important because one of the determinants in the success of an ico is a professional and solid team, if you are going to invest in ico you can analyze whether or not the ico is good

[nekorakoeora]

investments in ICO will depend on a lot of things that are considered. the concept of the team behind ICO and ICO being the deciding thing of which should be considered in determining the worth to ICO investment. is it worth it and not in this investment will return again to me about how the analysis in the selection of ICO.

[Finafex Exchange]

ICOs, typical ICOs without any regulations have been significantly resulting in its own fall if not death.

When there is literally no compliance towards regulations, then it is bound to scams-- resulting not only in the investor loss and confidence but also adversely affecting the market for even better and credible ICOs as well.

[BitcoinHodler]

no, never and it doesn't depend on anything.

in my view, there is absolutely no reason for a developer of an open source project to ask for money to develop something that thousands of others are doing and many of them are doing it for free. and an ICO is exactly that, a developer with minimal programming skills, no financial knowledge and zero product is asking you to pay him money to copy paste some code.

if you want comparison, you can always compare things with bitcoin. you can't find anything bigger, innovative, or useful as bitcoin in this field to this day. the creator (Satoshi) didn't ask you to pay him to invent bitcoin! he did it for free, without an ICO, without any premine,.... he created it and released it to the world free of charge and open source with MIT license so that anybody who wishes could copy it freely.

[Grechkatx]

Not at such a time as now or what it was in 2018, we need a stable price increase and a General rise of the entire cryptocurrency, then of course you can invest in almost all projects

[HyughA]

yes, in my opinion it is good but depends on the project as well as the project objectives and most importantly the overall contents of the project are clear and transparent. I don't think all ico are bad, there are still some good ones

[maligu]

This is a high-risk idea, you can go to find the experience of historical investors, they will tell you that investing in ICO projects is stupid. In fact, investing in ICO projects must be the eve of the arrival of the bull market. Otherwise the risk of investing in ICO is very large.

[Red-Apple]

it is actually pretty easy to answer your question, and the answer is NO by the way.

you just have to take a good look at the result of all these ICOs that have been created in the past couple of years. there are hundreds of them so you have a pretty good sea of examples to choose from.
none of them performed well. there has been some cases of pump in some of them that lasted but that is not a good performance it is a pump. and the rest have lost their market position and are still going lower and lower.

[jubilarian]

I don't advice. For me, it's still a opportune. The key is that must find a right project. There is many terms to judge an ICO. You can search it to decide, no one can do it for you.

[Ngewex Yuk]

In 2018 there were hundreds of failed ICOs, even I was also hit by a scam from several ICOs, I hope this year will be a moment of revival of ICO to be able to improve and be able to avoid scam projects.

[jaywizzy]

Yes, it is good to invest in ICO project,  the problem is most of the ICO nowadays are scam, I mean scam that is  proper investigation should be done before investing in any of the ICO, like checking the product they are offering , team member, how long will the ICO last, soft cap, hand cap,  how much is for  each token and the minimum and maximum token that can be purchase.

[micairvas]

  No, now investments in projects are a complete donate. Since the coins just lose their price and are not restored. I see many forum users think so.

[jzarifis]

Track some interesting to you ICO project, wait to be listed on exchanges and then buy from the exchanges looks better option for me

[bitcoinst]

If you look at the ICO trackers, we will see that even now a lot of ICOs are being conducted, there are fewer of them than before, but they exist. Consequently, 5% of them may well be successful, which means the market is still breathing.

[Kardon]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

I think investing in ICO is a very interesting, promising and profitable solution. But there is only one small nuance, now there are too many startup projects that do not need the development of these projects, they have only one thought, it is to raise money from investors and dump far away. But if you still find a really worthwhile project, I think investing in it can bring significant profits.

[mirawantirinjana]

the ICO project is increasingly unpredictable, extended and very difficult to enter exchangers. some of which are holding back token distribution. very risky investing in an ICO project.

[baigreen]

A good project is worth the investment. It must be global. Have a MVP. Yes, and the team must communicate with the community. An interesting decision can make investors very rich. But unfortunately there are such projects. Who cheat us. And it is difficult to determine where to invest.

[johnine]

Yes of course, but you must be careful of what project are you into it because you will loss some profit and you will be indisposed to invest in the future I guess, so you must read and research of the project before you invest.

[Vilagra]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Investing in ICO was a good idea but now 99% of all ICOs bring losses to their investors. The main decision factor to pick ICO for me is small hardcap comparing to similar projects on the market.

[Darker45]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

The ICO market is not for everyone. It does not mean that because you are into crypto, you are also good to participate in ICOs. That is not correct. ICO may be within the world of cryptocurrency but you have to acknowledge the fact there is a different set of factors when deciding to participate in an ICO, as compared to deciding which coin to buy or sell in a trading platform. ICO participation is very risky. Riskier than buying any coin from the top 100 randomly. If you want to participate in an ICO, you need to understand the project thoroughly. You need to understand their economics, their plans and goals and how they would get there. You need to get to know well the developers and their advisers and their partners.

[starplaks]

If ICO is good and there is a strong team behind it, then of course it’s a good idea to invest in it!

[laredo7mm]

If ICO is good and there is a strong team behind it, then of course it’s a good idea to invest in it!

Now, if indeed we are interested in investing, Iico must be careful and indeed we must be able to be smart to be able to invest because of the many dead projects.

[spike420211]

In order for your investments in the crypto market to be successful, you simply must have a good understanding of the projects and how the business works. You need to understand what are the chances of listing the project and how functional the project token will be.

[sonicwave]

If you have learned to choose projects and if you have extra money, you can probably try, the rest of the people even try not worth it, too risky business

[harapan]

so far I still trust ICO, but I will not arbitrarily invest my money.
First of all, I studied the project that I would invest first.

[oppo070]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Well, at the moment I guess investing on an ICO is still profitable and a good idea to do. Let me say something. As long as there is new interesting technology and at the same time, promising, it is always good to invest but take the risk into consideration in order to avoid scam projects. Make a research to confirm it.

[coinplus]

It depends on the team. I have checked icobench constantly since they started and if you look at the scores of the "people" that are behind some ICO's you can see that there are couple of people who did great ICO's and not just one but couple of ICO's that got funded and doing well currently.

It means there are couple of people in this world that knows how to do ICO and did it multiple times, if those people get together somehow and build a team together I am sure any ICO they do will be amazing and I will put all my money there. People who did great ICO separately would mean a lot more when they are all together so it will be double the chance of success. Hence, when I invest I just check the team behind it and which ICO's they worked before and if it is their first I try to stay away from it.

[eaglewhite80]

if you are a beginner I suggest not to invest in any ICO, because now many ICOs are deceiving. Many factors for choosing the ICO Project, if I will choose a project that will be useful for the future, because then the project will continue to grow.

Being a beginner does not necessarily mean you have to stay away from ICOs, what is just important is for you to know basis of investment, know all you need to know about ICOs and try as much as possible not to see it as quick ways of making money. Basically, that is what a lot of beginners tend to think, and with no knowledge of how to manage risks and invest wisely, they just do as they please until they get hit while learning the hard way.

[furball64]

Earlier it was possible to earn on ICO very well. However, I very thoroughly studied each project where I was going to invest. I checked the team members. I checked the registration of their legal entity. And also all the other data that I found about the project. If something was suspicious, I refused to invest.

[Aryleeto]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

At the moment , I think if you invest in ico only in a good team that is going to do it, because right now there are few projects that even collect software for this with ico you need to be extremely careful!

[cryptocreap]

I think the safest option is to buy after the coin has started to trade on exchanges. This way you make sure that you will have the liquidity and won't get stuck with bags full of tokens which you can't sell. You will also make sure that the team won't run away with funds. Besides, usually tokens dump after ICO because bounty hunters sell their tokens, so you can buy even cheaper. But if you are sure that ICO is good and don't mind waiting then you can participate. I did participate in some ICOs but usually prefer to buy after ICOs.

[AndRE177]

If you are confident in the project and its team, then you can invest. However, remember that the risks of losing all your money when investing at the ICO stage are very high.

[sergeykravchenko1959]

By investing in ICO projects you can make a good profit. But the farther away the harder it is to find a quality and profitable ICO project. There are a lot of fraudulent projects. Therefore, my advice is to carefully select projects for investment. You can use the sites that assign a rating to projects.

[Alohadance]

I think that now isn't a good time to invest in ICOs. There is a small amout of successful ICOs, mostly all of them are scam. I think if you want to buy their tokens, it's better to wait until listing.

[mirgo1791]

goods of service with the offers from developer as have with business intelligence as investors to manage evaluation with future chance on gaining with the price on token with the listing on exchange.

[zoe111]

I still believe in ICO, this is an effective way to raise funds for the implementation of a product. And if the offer from the developer is worthwhile, I am ready to invest a small amount.

[pixie85]

It's not a good idea if you have very little money and can't risk making a mistake. Most ICOs are and will be scams. You can calculate your chances in many different ways it can be 30 to 70 or 20 to 80 but in the end you will be at a disadvantage. If you have a lot of money already invested in Bitcoin you can always put 10% of it into ICOs.

[levvv]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It was a good option. But because there are many peoples using ICO for their own sake to get quick money, it became bad.
But if you success to find a real project with a real product usage in the future, it is a good idea to put your money into it.
The deciding factors to participate in ICO are whether the ICO is real or scam, the products, the team.

[DominickA86]

If you can find a legit ICO with a promising token then yes. But if you are just investing blindly in every project and want to become a millionaire over night, then no. Find great projects and get your profit.

[DainSLane]

Of course investing in ICOs a good option for many investors we can get more benifits when we investing in good ICOs they will offer the early investors a huge of bonuses that is the good option as investors to gain more profit.

[kandybinay]

i think it's not so easy to find the ICO which will meet all the requirements to be a promising one. as for me, the most important thing is token usability. nobody will invest in a project with no product or service, because token should be in demand, like in marketplaces or smth like this.

[millensharon8]

It's not a good idea if you have very little money and can't risk making a mistake. Most ICOs are and will be scams.

If you have a lot of money already invested in Bitcoin you can always put 10% of it into ICOs.

Well, it is a normal thing to back away from something as a person, most especially when the condition is not favorable for investment and that is how I basically feel most investors are thinking right now when it comes to investing in ICOs. Certainly 2018 was like the worst year for most ICOs, but it is what it is. However, it is interesting to note that a lot of investors are becoming wiser these days while making sure they consider what they are investing in first before investing in it, unlike before.

[Ycekezuv]

It all depends on the team and on the product itself, I believe that these are the main nuances that you need to pay attention to!

[Adhichan]

Of course investing in ICOs a good option for many investors we can get more benifits when we investing in good ICOs they will offer the early investors a huge of bonuses that is the good option as investors to gain more profit.

did investors still take profits from investing in ico ? i see this investment didnt profitable anymore in current market.all price dumped although ico reached hardcap.better to invest in existing coins.

[BitcoinForAll]

i think it's not so easy to find the ICO which will meet all the requirements to be a promising one. as for me, the most important thing is token usability. nobody will invest in a project with no product or service, because token should be in demand, like in marketplaces or smth like this.

Marketplace is a good example. I personally own MTRC tokens to use via their platform. That kind of tokens will always be in demand as long as the market functions.

[wayaneka]

Make invest in ICO still profitable but with high risk, for the better use money not more than 1% to put in to it. Chooce ICO that has live product, consist of solid team and they has good roadmap. Live product that give benefits to the community will be become the most important thing because we will know the project will keep run.

[odukoyaewatomi27]

I think investing in ICOs is not as profitable as it used to be because before you see very good projects making x20 after exchange listing but now the best you can get is a return of the amount invested. This is largely due to the market conditions and not because the project are bad.
I think the best thing to do is to wait for the projects to list on an exchange before you buy.

[ElenaN]

I think yes.  After all, the focus of the ICO, we pay on the product that they are going to provide and it is very important what kind of team will work on it!

[paxaway21]

Investing in Ico is a good way to earn money and make profit in crypto but invest in good ico and Good situation of the market so that your money is in a good hands.

[EL-NIDO]

It depends on the ICO. It is really important to analyze first the whole project before investing. Beginning with the team, their goal, whitepaper, roadmap, marketing, social media, community etc. But often it is better to get the tokens much cheaper after exchange listing and without any KYC.

[ynclksnr321]

Which varies depending on what you invest in. Many proven coins are currently on the market. Their returns will be very high. But it would be very risky to invest in icos that did not even enter the market.

[sempak]

Which varies depending on what you invest in. Many proven coins are currently on the market. Their returns will be very high. But it would be very risky to invest in icos that did not even enter the market.

Actually it's good but we know that nowadays people's trust has decreased towards cryptocurrency so in my opinion now it's better to be careful if we want to invest in ico or any investment.

[Nggedebus]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

If you really are find that good ICO, then there will be a big chance that you will get a guaranty about the future of the coins that you invest on.
It will surely give something back in the future.

[dicaprio]

I think that today the majority of participants in our market will all the same seriously and carefully handle projects, because today there are already many scam projects on the market that is our tragedy.

[mullzerwar]

Investing in an ICO can be really profitable, especially when we invest at early time on a very trusted and a good quality project.
Since investing in early moment will give us some bonus coins upon purchase.

[ongkok87]

Of course investing in ICOs a good option for many investors we can get more benifits when we investing in good ICOs they will offer the early investors a huge of bonuses that is the good option as investors to gain more profit.

if in my opinion not. because now there are many problematic and useless ICOs that can make investors lose money, because there are already a lot of investors who don't want to invest anymore and choose investment in altcoin and bitcoin

[glasbren]

My answer would be, fully depends on the ICO itself and also the chance for future development about the project itself.
Since we can't really sure about ICO, will it really be a good one or not.

[Maknae09]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

At the moment, the benefits of investing on an ICO is quite decreasing. There is not much profitable ICO's out there, as the number of it increases, there's allot to choose from and it is not quite good to choose just any of it.

[Animunie]

Investing in ICO's still a good one depends on the depends on the ICO itself, depends on the team behind, depends on what kind of financial backing the ICO has. So make sure before investing on an ICO you have to be very careful in learning it so you won't regret in the end.

[Debonaire217]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

These days everyone is trying to have their own ICO which is making entire industry shady. People are easily falling for scams. Keep an eye on the reputation section to see the fake ICOs.

I am not saying that all ICOs are fake but there are good ICOs as well. To determine a good ICO I look for
=Good team
=The product
=Token usability
=Marketing

If these are good enough then it's ok to take some risk. Don't go all but invest that you can afford to lose.

Well, basically I look in the design and structure of their website and advertising platforms if it looks well. Good to say, this makes sense as scam project just copy the design of trusted well known projects out there.

[Dellosoft]

This is a broad question. Investing in ICOs will only be good after thorough due diligence research before investing. Investing blindly because of hype might be detrimental. For instance, scammers might enact a project, pay an influencer hugely to promote their project and zoom off after token sale. Ensure you do thorough background check on the team, also check out for product or MVP and also project backings if possible.

[pisston]

If today we analyze the market of the ico company, then there are not too many good companies, as well as a sufficient number of scammers who are trying to rob everyone who is looking for companies to invest.

[dfktynby1004]

I do not know how good, but in the bull market it is a very profitable initiative, which brings more than 500% in a few months.

[DZU1410]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Now investing in ICO is risky. Of course, this used to be a risky action, but in this state of the market, which we see now, I think it is better to invest in bitcoin. I feel so much better because you don't know if the project will survive in such conditions as now.

[cryptocyprus]

At the moment, investing in ICO is also very dangerous. It is common to say that if the price of the token after the ICO fell by only 30 percent, then this is a very good indicator. Then draw your own conclusions.

[kawetsriyanto]

Now, investing in ICOs is very risky but I don't say all ICOs are bad and not worth at all. There are ICOs still worth for investment as long as they have quality team members and products. And also the ICO's coin or token will be useful and important to support the project development.     

[Luthfiyaaa]

depends on the ico. if possible ico looks good and clear, the team is also pretty good, maybe ico will be successful. moreover with an attractive market strategy, surely ico will be better. if confused determine ico is good for investment, choose ico whose sales have reached softcap.

[CryptoKush]

I think that now is a difficult time for the entire cryptocurrency market. And for this, investing in iso is very risky. You should be prepared to wait for a long time to profit from your investments.

[kevinzxz]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

in my opinion yes, ICO is the best choice to make an investment and give us a big profit in the future.

and in my opinion a good determining factor for choosing the ICO to be invested is :
1. ICO must have project that are useful in the future.
2. whitepaper and roadmap from the ICO must be clear.
3. sales at ICO must be transparent.

[Sarisang]

many of the ICO are springing up almost every day there is always. If invest then will depend on the ICO itself and not all of them can produce. the selection of the ICO and the execution of the team inside the ICO will give a huge impact if it can deliver results and whether or not.

[juchin]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Investing in ICO just like you are investing in start-up companies. If this is a good start-up company and develop well in the future, the profit that you will receive that may be very huge but in contrast, it may die anytime. And this time is not good to invest in ICO because it is being in regression situation to change new form

[vanjava]

In my opinion, investing in ICO is very risky, but if I determine the ICO, I think that it is good from the team's performance, roadmap, and whitepaper. In addition, ICO has been registered in one market such as CMC.

[LickKing]

No, the risk of investing in ICO is very high. This is already a topic, you are late. If this question is in 2017, I will answer you yes. But the current ICO project is basically a scam. So I suggest you give up ICO investment.

[crzybilly]

It was a great option in 2017, but at the moment the ICOs market is facing a lot of difficulties and problems. The market should recover its value and alts should double their prices for the ICOs market to turn better.

[Ailmand]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It all depends on the ICO. Most ICO failed, and most are stuck in developing their project due to the bear market. There are few who were able to make a good progress on their project with their limited fund. It all depends on the team's marketing strategy and development. Also investors plays a big role on driving the price of an altcoin after it's ICO. So, it's more on team work, not just on the part of the team.

[MrPiggles]

No, the risk of investing in ICO is very high. This is already a topic, you are late. If this question is in 2017, I will answer you yes. But the current ICO project is basically a scam. So I suggest you give up ICO investment.

I agree with you because investing in existing ICO projects will cost you a lot of money and you may lose your entire assets at a certain time. I often do not invest in new projects and focus only on coins that have good growth potential because it will help me earn better profits.

[Herdirfauzi]

In my opinion, investing in ICO is very risky, but if I determine the ICO, I think that it is good from the team's performance, roadmap, and whitepaper. In addition, ICO has been registered in one market such as CMC.

I agree with your opinion, I would like to add also if in a project there is a good partner and has a level of popularity that would make the project attractive to many people.

[ryap12]

Looking at the poll, looks like most of us thinks the same. "Depends on the ICO". Not all projects out there presented are going to be successful. The product should be good, the token/coin should have a good liquidity and people should want to keep it rather than selling it. But it's very hard to find such nowadays.

[veekky]

Actually not on a bearish market. This isn't what you're expected to do because market is depressive and you simply lose your money.
So listen to my opinion, skip all of ICOs you meet and find already trading coins with potential!

[nik9990]

Before choosing a project you need to analyze it well, look at the team and prospects

[Naida_BR]

It is not a good option since the market conditions right now are very bad. Even if the ICO has a great plan with a great team and a well-written whitepaper it is possible not to reach its funding goals. Investors are now very cautious and they wait for the Bitcoin price to go up and eventually take the whole cryptocurrency market upwards.

[Dilladupak]

yes, investment in ICO projects is also good, because now the price is still cheap, and you can buy it, because you will also get a cheap price, and you can hold it back with an increase in the price of tokens.

[voron83-05]

The idea is good, but everything depends solely on the project itself and on its product, in other cases it is a waste of money!

[Golftech]

It is not a good option since the market conditions right now are very bad. Even if the ICO has a great plan with a great team and a well-written whitepaper it is possible not to reach its funding goals. Investors are now very cautious and they wait for the Bitcoin price to go up and eventually take the whole cryptocurrency market upwards.

Indeed, the market condition is no longer favorable for any ico projects, as investors really value their money and they are afraid being scammed or nothing will happen after the ico was ended, as most project right are not gaining any success it's either lack of support or even ico got funded listing
took longer than expected time frame, needs to be more careful deciding about this matter.

[Mandevil]

I agree that now is the time to invest in good projects, thereby increasing your portfolio while everyone is at the stage of correction.

[ttg43]

Investing in ico is very risky now. A very high probability of losing some of the money and a very small probability of profit.

[labuan]

Yes, but many of ICO project are scam. But if you are is selective before you invest your money, you can make profit in ICO. And if you want to invest your money right now, i suggest you to invest your money on AssetSplit.

[rachman mahesa]

One good investment is indeed at the ICO. Because investment in ICO in my opinion gives a big advantage if you invest in the right and good projects going forward. And also in ICO there are usually many bonuses available. Therefore I also often invest in ICO, for the following reasons.

[Triwiyono]

good choice if investing in ico, but depends on the ico, does it include good ico, which will have good potential, does ico also have a clear roadmap and token sold out. investment in ico is good but depends on the ico, if you choose the wrong ico for investment, you can get stuck on the ico scam.

[Broiler78]

I think ICO investing is good enough if you choose good ICO and of course don't choose ICO that is scam. I have tips to avoid ICO fraud, see websites, learn whitepapers, real teams and social media that are always updated.

[a4illusionist]

At this point of time, no its not. But yes when the times were good, it was one of the most profitable thing to do and i believe when the market will get back on its foot again then it would again become a lucrative option.

[Mr.Spreadthehamster]

Indeed, now investing in ICO has become several times less efficient than last year. In order not to suffer a fiasco, you need to carefully study the companies and monitor their work, as well as to correspond with the admins in order not to fall into the scam.

[cudora]

A working product is the most important aspect of every ICO. I am tired of projects that cannot provide any working solution, they just write a whitepaper, making a website and starting collecting funds for their "revolutionary" project.

[Geenstijl]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

I think it's totally insane idea to invest in ICO during a bear market. Take a look around and you will notice that almost every single ICO is below the ICO price now. Sometimes doing nothing is the best option

[bitcoinst]

My answer is no, since for newbies a similar strategy (not investing in ICO) will be much more profitable, since they will not lose their investments in bad and fraudulent ICO. By the way, even good ICOs now bring almost no income.

[Malam90]

Yes, Investment in ICO is good and it is the soul of coming new coins in the crypto markets but it totally depends on which ICO you want to invest. The team of that ICO is a vital factor of your success in investment. If team is active, trusted, experienced and promising with roadmap implementation, this project surely hits your investment success otherwise it is not.

[Levyathan]

Not really a good idea if they are accepting cryptocurrency as the payment because it would dump the market after their ICO ends.

[Tervelatuk]

Yes, Investment in ICO is good and it is the soul of coming new coins in the crypto markets but it totally depends on which ICO you want to invest. The team of that ICO is a vital factor of your success in investment. If team is active, trusted, experienced and promising with roadmap implementation, this project surely hits your investment success otherwise it is not.

you have to very selective when choosing projects that will invested.for now on there is no project that could give investors when listed in market.mostly investors want take profit when it could sold in market.but the fact totally different .

[CAPT.DEADPOOL]

for me it depends on the ico strangled crib to invest in ico to earn x3 profit in my investment but at the time there are fewer ico and also many legit ico but right now I will not first invest in the ico appears now because there are ico too many appearing but most ico appear now is a scam and not legit so I just wait for the ico that is certain if legit and I will invest in it so now It's just a bounty that I'm just joining because it's hard to scam if your investment is bigger than other people so I just have to invest when I see that legit ico.

[melomanskiy]

2019 will be very difficult for ICO. Chances to guess a good project in which you are going to invest your money are extremely small. I would certainly like a global change for the better this year,

[Ociwiw]

It all depends on the ICO and on the team that will work on the product, because I am sure that we will still see good projects!

[Bagani]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It depends on the ICO project you would like to invest if you really believe on the team and the concept of the project then invest in it. However, if you see some red flags on start-up projects don't think twice to leave and look for another project.

[ujinice]

Over the past six months, I have not seen more than one token that would have risen in price after the completion of the ICO, so I assume that there is no point in investing in the ICO in a bear market.

[mirgo1791]

the use with investors to put of spares on funds as appealing new release on offers from the market of ico scheme of modulation gives of more on reference with the initiation tasks of business intelligence evaluation to collects with shifts on difference and manage to improve future terms of entrance of same or similar strategy to run on exchange market with the crypto finance business of archipelago.

[mcTether]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Surely, the team behind the project matters most than any other factor. If you have a low profile or weak team managing an ICO project, you don't expect much success from such ICO.

[Metall303]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Surely, the team behind the project matters most than any other factor. If you have a low profile or weak team managing an ICO project, you don't expect much success from such ICO.

if the project has a weak team, then just the project will not be successful. Investors now become very smart and they are making a good research of the project before they carrying their money. so I think that projects with a weak team simply cannot raise enough money

[gendang_cinta]

Over the past six months, I have not seen more than one token that would have risen in price after the completion of the ICO, so I assume that there is no point in investing in the ICO in a bear market.

Moreover, the price after listing on the exchange is very far from the ICO price and that is very detrimental. in this bear market there is something that is definitely very good to do, namely buying cheap coins so why buy ICO which is very risky because there are coins that will definitely rise.

[Galantin]

Judging by the poll, many continue to believe. On the other hand, it is very good. I hope our faith in technology will bring us prof it. In future.

[ellehcar]

Before, yes, but not nowadays. This present time, everyone's trying to make money out of running an ICO, 'coz that's the fastest and easiest way to collect money from this industry, so it's really hard to tell which one is genuine and which one is scammy. I suggest, if you have some funds to tap, invest it in established coins/tokens in the market. It's much safety-wise.

[Sebas.tian]

Well coming from someone who has a signature banner from an ICO, this might sound dumb but I don't think investing in an ICO is a good option. Many turn out to be a scam or just simply fail because of lack of raised funds. Better yet, buy cheap coins which are already trading and has a strong foundation in this space like those coins in the top 10 of cmc.

[pelumi20]

I think due to the present market conditions, investing in ICOs is not as profitable as it used to be. Except the project is extremely good then you can consider investing in the ico, because most projects usually dump once they list on the exchange, so why not wait to buy it on the exchange.

[herdiansyahdanang]

We have to really choose the promising ico in the future, because most of them have finished staying just like that, there is no progress for the future, it's up to you who judge not all ico are good and not all ico are bad.

[Findingnemo]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

I don;t want to invest my money on the useless ICOs and shit coins which are already reached the market.They might have the good team but with these trust level of crypto market people are not going to risk their money in investing at any projects with the hope of they might go to moon.

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

Although ICO investment has not been lucrative as it used to be in 2017, but there are still some few ones which can generate profit for you through the bonuses you will get. Once the project has a working product, you will surely make a good money out of it.

[Anyobsss]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

It is a good idea if you know how to understand whether the project has future or it will become a success, otherwise you will only lose a ton of money for investing to some fail ICO. The first deciding factor, of course, is the team behind the project. A project with a hardworking team has a greater chance of success than a project with a great plan but doesn't have a great team. Trend is also a good deciding factor when picking a ICO to invest with.

[bitcoinmar]

Although ICO investment has not been lucrative as it used to be in 2017, but there are still some few ones which can generate profit for you through the bonuses you will get. Once the project has a working product, you will surely make a good money out of it.

Can you give me some ICO projects that bring profit after completing the ICO process in the last few months? Most of the time, I found the ICO's tokens decreased when listed on exchange

[Strotman]

At the moment there are no existing ICO, in which I would risk to invest my money. Yes, the practice of the last 6 months shows that it is more profitable to buy coins after the ICO on a decentralized exchange.

[Pumared]

Every investment is welcome as long as you know how much to spend and whether the results of these investments will be good enough. Basically a cost-benefit ratio

[trofim21]

I think that today It is one of the most profitable ways to make money on the Internet, but buying coins for pre-sale today is not profitable. I think it is better to buy after entering the stock exchange.

[fumblingperch]

Now investing in ICO can be dangerous. You have to study the project very well in order not to lose your money. But if you are sure that the project is promising, then you can invest. When the market will grows, such a token can be very expensive. The most important thing is to read the white paper very carefully and study the idea.

[Catmurs]

Although ICO investment has not been lucrative as it used to be in 2017, but there are still some few ones which can generate profit for you through the bonuses you will get. Once the project has a working product, you will surely make a good money out of it.

Can you give me some ICO projects that bring profit after completing the ICO process in the last few months? Most of the time, I found the ICO's tokens decreased when listed on exchange

Yes, even in the last six months there is not a single project that was in the black , I think it is extremely dangerous to invest in ico!

[Adunni6758]

Every project must have a unique problem it is solving. Most times, I go for projects that are bringing in new idea, that is, innovative idea and not what is already existing. Projects like this tend to attract investors and at the end, lead to mass adoption.
Not only that it should have a good product, but also hat the team must be ready to take the project to any length.

[Akpuv]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

ICOs investment is still a very good option although it all depends on what that particular ICO has to offer. For exchange ICOs, most of them are usually successful.

[Rostock]

I think that so far it is not worth investing in ICO, as there are too many scams and there are chances to stumble upon them. What worries me even more is that even if you invest in a good project, you will still lose some of the funds because after listing on the exchanges the coin price drops.

[CryptoCoinArbitrage]

Investing in ICOs  is risky as the market condition are very tough and it is much more difficult for an ICO
to succeed than it was before and the whole process takes longer to set up an ICO. The risk is higher and
the benefit is lower than before.

[Felipeo]

I think that it's depends fully on the which project you are investing in. If the project is good they still give you profit in the bear market. I know we saw many scam or failed project in last few months in this market. And many project which pretend to be a legit one after some crowdsale or project release they looked like scam. But there is lots of project which is give good roi in this bear market and continued it's devlopment. So it's the project where you investing if it has great team, good idea a good vision it will give you profit one day if you stick to it.

[batang_bitcoin]

From the current situation of the market, most of the ICOs are postponing their pre-sale. Why? It's due to the condition that each bitcoin and ethereum is still cheap.

Never invested to an ICO and will never consider that as a good option as investment.

[arkawa040]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

At the moment, I do not see any prospects to invest in ICO, because now there are a lot of Altos that can be bought at very competitive prices, and a huge plus that you can be sure that they are not scammers.

[ankhmary]

i think its not good option to invest on ICO's . Because in ICO's price are too high and after they listed on exchanges price will drop.

[pemantaubtt]

the answer for your question is no. based on current market conditions buying ICO is a quite difficult to choice because most ICO will make us lose and not profit. but if you want to invest it will be better if you see their team and also their ceo a good project will have a great team.

investing in ICO is not a good choice anymore and many are leaving because there are so many things that make it worse.
many projects fail and many factors make it fail.
to make sure if they aren't scammers, maybe they can find out more and it's not easy to trust anyone before proving it.

Seeing the development of the ICO project at this time is indeed very worrying. The success rate is very small, there are only a few successful ICO projects. ICO project selection in investing is vital, this is because the choice of investment will determine how the future we will achieve. We can fail and we lose all the assets we have. Choose the right ICO project because when it is successful we will become successful people and can become wealthy.

This is a choice, the choice of a good ICO project and we will get the dream we want !!!

[bitcoin31]

If you have other option you can avoid investing to ICO. Still good to invest to the ICO but if that is legit but if not it is not good.
But if you don't have other option maybe better if you do something unique to determine what ICO is legit or not to earn more money and yoy did not lost anything.

[DonFacundo]

it is risky to invest in ICO's these days because of bearish market and many scams, better to invest in cryptos for now.

[terahash]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

it would be better if you buy ICO coins when the price drops it will be better, if you want to buy an ico it is better to research the project, their team, their product, their partner and also the utility of the token itself.

[ropyu1978]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

for the time being, there are many ico that are truly useless and don't even have different technologies and ideas than others. this is why it is difficult to benefit from ico's investment, I think a good choice is to buy after entering the exchange, because the average for the current dump is definitely happening

[umar22pk]

Its good way of investment in ICO’S to make profit quick, but you have to check project carefully before investment. if you get a good project then your investment is a better investment in ICO otherwise you can lose your money.

[TusharMali99]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

If the ICO has a good team and a good concept behind their project, it is ofcourse good decision to invest in such ICOs. Investing in ICOs can give 2x-3x profit if the ICO has strong project and gets listed on top exchanges.

[TheWalkingCoin]

Always good ideas for investing your money at ICO, almost ICO project always give you profit last years and you have keep invest and always support for ICO, maybe this year have new ICO project give us profit with our investment.

[akuser]

although many ico fail and even extended or worse disappear, but ico is the best and most trusted way to raise funds quickly.
there are still good projects and produce real products.
forget and be more careful to analyze an ICO.

[VPScreator]

I think that it is not necessary to invest in ICO, because in the bear market, any investment in ICO will be a loss of some money for you.

[Kardon]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

I am very interested in studying and working with new start-UPS, and I am ready to support start-up projects, but unfortunately today there are very few projects in which you can really invest and benefit from it. But since I am looking forward to a bright future from the world of cryptography with great enthusiasm, I still hope that in the near future will appear on the market exactly those projects that are aimed at the result of work, and not only to raise funds from investors.

[stefany101]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

I can say for myself that investing in an ICO project is a good option to do if you want to make profits out of your investments, for the reason that the tokens in an ICO sale is much cheaper than those already listed in crypto exchange/s and usually have discounts during their tokensale stages but it is better to consider some factors before investing for the ICOs nowadays is not trusted because of scammers.

[darefreads]

It is a good option for me because they have a promising projects that can really grow in the future and and most of them are truly a profitable. And the only thing that a investor should problem is to select a legit projects because most of the projects this past year is getting scammed by the scammers that's why we should have a great time of choosing the right currency to invest with our money.

[Ngewex Yuk]

Seeing the fact that happened with the market until now it seems difficult to make ICO the main and best investment, this is because more and more negative news and ICO scams have made the ICO reputation disappear.

[thaliaand]

ICO is one of many ways to make an investment. Good or not is depend on the project itself, and a deep analysis and research is a must before making the decision. For example, aproximately 80% ICOs resulting in failure in 2018, which means the other 20% ICOs are still worth to invest. Investment is about timing, so, do research and analyze then DWYOR.

[likit123]

At the ico stage it is profitable to invest only when you have a serious, transparent and high-quality project. If not, then it is at this stage that the investor risks investing money in a scam and, as a result, is left with nothing. The risk is reduced by 50% when an investor invests money in a valid coin.

[daly896]

Not now when all crypto market is down.
You know, ICO's is a good solution when market is pumped and BTC holders are looking opportunity to invest in fresh altcoins, but now there is another case!

[futuristishe]

In General, investing in cryptocurrencies is now dangerous..it is unknown what happens to her next! However... If you still decide to invest it is better to do it in existing currencies. which are the most promising. Because the chances of making a profit will be much greater than investing in ICO.

[ynatopak14]

Investing in an ICO is one of the best option in cryptocurrency community.
We should first to have the knowledge and do self study on the project before putting any amount on it.
We should be careful and wise in doing this so be mature enough and make your own investigation and research.

[mirgo1791]

however, the investment in ico is still very risky to lose our money. I think the investment risk of ICO is very large, compared to investing in coins that have been registered in the market. I will not return to Ico myself, because I have eliminated a lot of my money.

[Wend]

Yes it is a good option because we can earn enough profit of it on when we invested on that ICO.
But we must be careful also because many ICO's are now are they are good to talk and nice concept in the end it was a scam until you invest on that ICO.

[goldexp83]

it depends, you should ask yourself, good option compared to what?

to do a startup? maybe yes or not, compared to invest in stocks? maybe, compared to so nothing? absolutely!

its really a matter to learn and understand the ICO world but one thing has been pretty sure so far

ICO have been among the most successful assets in the history of mankind!

[invincible49]

ICO investment is finished for me. Most of those projects are either scam, failed or shit projects with over-hyped tokens. Only a handful of those see the light of success. In my view, ICO investment is just wasting time, money and not worth at all. I'd say you better get involved with a successful project only after the ICO is finished and then buy their cheap tokens from decentralized exchanges where many come to dump

in any case, no one will merge the tokens of a truly promising project. In addition, the developers themselves must be interested in the development of their company, and thus provide further action, blocked the tokens after the company ico.

[maiiyeuvo]

Investing in an ICO is a good idea, but you have to apply it at the right time.
For example: trend of 2019 is STO, what I see is that many projects are converting models from ICO to STO to raise capital better.

About the deciding factor when choosing projects to invest:
1. Good team.
2. Activity (On telegram, social media, meetup ...)
3. Token usability
4. Review from reputable websites.

[Erik Goff]

Many people here are wearing signatures and promoting ICOs, so they should know that without ICOs their job will not be avaiable, so please, try to be helpful for ICOs  and pray for long life for ICOs !!! .

[MOProgress]

I believe this will have to do with the type of ICO you want to invest into, there are some ICO that still good despite this bear market, and  there are also some scam ICOs too.

[invincible49]

Many people here are wearing signatures and promoting ICOs, so they should know that without ICOs their job will not be avaiable, so please, try to be helpful for ICOs  and pray for long life for ICOs !!! .

First of all, if you think many of us signature participants would shit themselves if ICO did not exist then you are wrong. Getting involvement in an ICO project shouldn't be seen as a job, more like a outside chance to earn a few bucks through expressing my views while wearing certain campaign's signature. Most of the ICOs are failed these days is because they do not have any substance apart from fake promises, loads of crap about how everything should be based on blockchain. Projects which have working products available or MVP is being developed in a way that as soon the ICO ends- beta version will be available for testing then I'd advertise those projects. I'd also want to hold their tokens too because with more time those projects with working products, services will attract a lot more users thus giving their tokens a good value in the market and it will make my effort to promote or investing in those project worthwhile.

[Perfect35]

There is nothing wrong when you decide to invest in an ICO, but you should be ready to select good ones through a god research method.
I have seen people invest in ICOs and make their profits, which is contrary to the experiences of some people, who sometimes invest in scam ICOs.
We have had a taste of so many forms in the crypto space, so those with good experience should be able to make the right choice in all ramifications. Considerng the team, use cases, tech and so many other factors.

[Bomber007]

I would say "Yes" because there are many projects out there that still lists in exchanges way above the ICO price, you just have to know how to seperate the wheat from the tar.

[Felipeo]

I think it's still a good option but it's fully depends on you and the ICO you are investing in. Cause now a days most of the successful icons also not that much profitable. For that you have to be choose the best of all successful icos. For last few quarter months we don't see much profit on icos that's don't mean that icos are dead. Maybe there are less successful icos but there is still some project which is very good at their work. So it's you who have to choose the right one to invest. So just do some research on your own before investing your single penny.

[InGODweTrast3]

Now it is difficult to talk about any specific criteria, market confidence is undermined...

[sergei1703]

I think yes, because still there are good projects, which can bring you a good profit. But of course, it is a time of big investment funds, not solo investors with a 100$ from salary.

[BCTS]

No, investing in ICO is very dangerous, especially now. If you want to invest in ICO, then come back here by the end of this year, as soon as the market can begin to recover.

[cryptonight9631]

Yes, but it still depends on the ICO and the team. I am very strict on implementing a "make your own research before investing first". Because my last experience took me a more that 2 figures of usd of losses. But also still depending on the ico's functions and the famous people behind the project which was the team.

[Ronaldcoin2017]

Investing in ico is a good option but we need to be more careful this time due to the continuous growth of the scam ico on the crypto currency feild. Because we can loss a huge amount of profit on it if we don't take good care of choosing the best and legit ico. Investing in ico is really profitable bit it always depend on your strategy.

[UnDerDoG81]

No, investing in ICO is very dangerous, especially now. If you want to invest in ICO, then come back here by the end of this year, as soon as the market can begin to recover.

Whether it is dangerous or not depends on your ability to search and identify ICO projects. Recently the Korean ICO was Contents Protocol, which has multiplied 3 times the ICO price after being listed on exchange upbit

[Matcuda]

No, investing in ICO is very dangerous, especially now. If you want to invest in ICO, then come back here by the end of this year, as soon as the market can begin to recover.

I agree with you, if you invest, it is only on the General rise of the market, when any purchased slag can give a considerable profit, and now there is no sense to risk

[Little Mouse]

Investing in ICO is always a good idea but one fact remain to consider is you have to choose a good project. Otherwise, you will not be able to get profit. Most of the projects come up with some bad idea or old idea. Do not get into this. Find out some innovative idea and go for further analysis with their team. If all those are positive, I think ICO is best to get some profit.

[letecia012]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

Now a days, planning to invest in an ico is not a good choice in my personal opinion. But factor to be considered if you are planning to invest are people behind the project, services it may offer to public and s capacity to compete to other coins which offer same services.

[Spaffin]

Investing in ICO projects is generally a good idea, but not at the current bad time for this. Now investing in ICO is associated with very high risks, and almost no profitability. Now it is really better to buy tokens of good projects after they appear on the stock exchange and it happens tens and hundreds of thousands of times fall in price compared to the price of ICO. If there is a good product in the ICO project, then its tokens should increase well in price over time after the general rise in the cryptocurrency market.

[reynald70]

In my opinion, buying at the ICO now seems unpromising, because most of the prices are always bad when registered in exchange, so I better invest in projects that are officially registered in the exchange market. Because I will get security.

[Script]

Attracting startups ICO is not regulated by law. Some projects simply raise funds, and then disappear. Therefore, the main risk is the loss of money. But given the globalization of the Internet and its related business processes, you need to invest in an ICO now. How to do it? How to distinguish fraudulent from bona fide ICO? Where to begin? These are separate topics.But this must be done now! Otherwise, why are we all HERE

[surgexvb]

Now is not the best time to invest in new coins, as campaigns are constantly putting off listing on the exchange and will have to wait a very long time until the price will be several times higher than ICO.

[pelumi20]

Investing in ICOs is not as profitable as it used to be, and this is because of the current market situations (bear market).  Most projects regardly of how good they are tend to dump the moment they launch on the exchange, so I think for now it is better to wait and buy on the exchange than to invest in ICOs.

[xiboothrezi]

Ico is indeed one of the best ways to invest, but not for now. In 2018 there are a lot of scam projects, ico fails, due to unfavourable market conditions, so the market is difficult to develop. Another influencing factor is that more fraudsters are using ICo to get profits and then run away with the funds. However, there is also a successful Ico but the percentage tends to be smaller when compared to Ico scam.

[HichemFetoui]

yes there is some awesome ico and worth your money the most important thing is searching for good long term projects that worth your money in the long term

[chip1994]

is it a good idea to invest in ICO's and what do you think is a good deciding factor to pick what ICO's to invest in?

I think the most crucial factor is the potential of this ICO project that you want to invest in. Now there is a lot of ICO project but most of it is not potential and scam due to the bad circumstances of the market. Please choose and research carefully about ICO project before making purchase tokens.
