Do your research before investing in ICOs

[conected]

Before investing in ICO, I will definitely conduct my small investigation. Highlights: a whitepaper, the availability of information about the team, the experience of the project participants, chatting and social networking. A big plus is the availability of a prototype of the finished product.

- The points you share and need to analyze before investing in ico, it does not seem to be effective at this time because I see a lot of people analyze and choose projects, appreciate it very much but they still fail with that choice, the project still cannot succeed even if the project owns all the good elements such as team, experience, social network and whitepaper. ICO is becoming too bad and dangerous, I stopped investing in the ICO stage, I like to invest when it is listed on exchange, the profit may be less but safer

Researching in this way is really difficult to predict the potential of the project. If you want to be able to choose better projects, you should look for the first project community because it is the most important factor to decide for the success of the project. In the selection process, you should ask the project more and especially the IEO related news because the IEO is being considered a trend for all ICO projects and if there is acceptance at an exchange big then surely it is the project that you need to care about

Yes i do its very important and paramount so i dont get involved in what can not be handled its safer that way cause if you dont you might end investing and having your money wasted with no profits or gain either making research helps a whole lot in projects so we can tell which is worth our investments

[btcdevil]

I just do simple research i first see the team members involved are real life or not, as if the team members are real then we can think next part for the ICO, then comes whitepaper reading and project developments as they are the key features which give the view of project where will it goes. The last one i see is the campaign managers involved in their bounty program as reputed managers dont get involved in scam projects which give more credit to the project to be genuine and more chances to invest in them.

I believe everyone who knows their onions here do some form of research or the other before investing in ICos.
It's just the basics.
Yes. I do some basic findings about the project, the team , if they have a working product and if the usecase if the product will imorove upon the blockchain technology while accelerating adoption.
I tried to find out if there are lope holes about the project ,this is to avoid being scammed of my funds.

I often check through projects I have decided to invest! But not so much sure information! Everything is relative!

So how you will invest on project if there is not much information about the project you are going to invest.If you can't find enough information then it is better to avoid such kind of projects because there were lot of scam projects were popping up so it might could be one if it.

We need to make enough research before investing on any project and only invest if you are convinced.

[andrearz]

I always do research, the simplest is to see their activities on Facebook and telegram, read the whitepaper and of course their ANN.

[Strongkored]

Make own research to have more information about the ICO's project this is important, don't invest because the bonuses or cheap price, see the team, roadmap and anything else like market situation.

[thaliaand]

Team profiles background is one of the very important points we should research. Without the information of the team, it is really difficult to believe the project is legit now. Keep watching the project progress by following its social medias, telegram chat to see the devs are actively communicate with the community.

[clarkgeneral86]

Of course, you have to study by ICOS projects very much and very complicated. You can not recognize them well or potential. Therefore we need to analyze them through Whitepaper or teams of projects and the development path. Currently, the fake team situation is very much and you can be cheated.

[akela04]

Most of the ICO are the projects where the basis of scam of pure water it is therefore important to analyze the project. I always do research before I invest my money there. You need to look at the appearance of the site, the idea of the project, White Paper, the team, view the ratings, read the information in groups, on bitcointalk.

[xclusiveguy]

Definitely I do my proper research before investing in any ico project because there are lots of scam project out there,  if you don't do your research you might end up buying a project that the developers are just out to scam investors

ICOs, or Initial Coin Offerings, have become a popular way for cryptocurrencies to raise funds from the public. However, they have also become an easy way to prey on the vulnerable, and the financial regulator recently warned customers about what it calls “these very high risk, speculative investments”. It warns that there’s little consumer protection and high potential for fraud, as well as high volatility. Some ICOs are regulated by the FCA, but this is on a case-by-case basis, depending on how they are structured.

As the FCA says, you should fully research any ICO before handing over your money. “You should only invest in an ICO project if you are an experienced investor, confident in the quality of the ICO project itself,” a spokesman says. Alternatively, consider investing or trading with a regulated provider.

I wouldn't recommend invest in ICOs, as it hasn't been profitable at all over the last one years, so there is no need to waste money by investing in it. If you are eager to invest then you have to wait for the right time, when the market goes in bull trend then you can definitely invest.

High volatility is exactly what attracts investment in altcoins, everyone wants to get rich quickly, lotteries have high volatility too

[burky155]

We need to make our researches good and hard in every investment specially on ICO investments. But firts of all if i were you i would think twice if i invest to an ICO projects. I remember that more than %80 projects turned scam in someways and the investors lost their Money. This was horrible and it made me afraid of them. There is a big risk in ICO investment and we need to be very very careful. I wouldn't invest andy more ICO Project because i have already lost too much..

[AltcoinsBattle]

I already did my research more than a year ago. This led me to refuse to participate in ICO. It may come that the form of crowdfunding as an ICO will die. In this case, I will never take part in any ICO. No regrets.

[BlueStackz]

i do make researches into my ICOs before investing into it because that is one the possible ways to avoid throwing your money into some useless ICO. Researching into the ICO also gives you a fair idea about the development plans of the project and makes you to make an important decision as to how much to invest, how long to hold the tokens before selling it off.

I myself have lost some funds to ICO project, but that was when I did gamble with my projects too, I just look at the project using what the whitepaper says without doing further research, but ever since I have been doing a thorough research before investing in ICO, I have not really had any issue.

Most time, if I need to make any further investment, I don’t invest in pre ICO ales, I don’t invest immediately when they even get listed on exchange, except I am in for the pump,  if I believe in the project for a long term investment, I wait for it to be listed, get reviews and see their performance, mostly the one in TOP 30 in what I look into for now.

Moreover, I am sure that before investing it is necessary to check projects. I think that there are good projects, but most of all bad projects that today are trying to deceive investors and take their money from them. It's terrible, but it's true.

[akram143]

Yes I do research before investment and it will be like and confidence giving analyses because if he invested once we don't do anything changes in that but once we get confused today you will need to search about that then only the result will be possibly better than invest in an unknown currency.
