is investing in ICO's a good option?

[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.

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

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
