Do your research before investing in ICOs

[Gabteb]

Is there anyone who invest without research? if yes he must be a noob and its first time for him, and must be fair when i first time invested i n ICO i was scammed but now i have much more info from crypto so understand how it works what type of info i must have and what must check before investing in ICO.

[SwiggHeart]

most of the ICOs are scam. Be sure to had more research before investing and spend so many hours to make you believe that the project is legit.

[asriloni]

it is very important for research anything when you invest your money to ICO. so many people got scamed invested ICO because invested dont know what it

When we do a proper research to the ico and we can get decent profit. I remember when those binance IEO has already created pre-ico and so many people have joined in it. Most of people are getting scammed by ico caused by they can't even do a good research to the ico.

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.

Een after you finished many times the research about the project you are going to invest you still can't say for sure that this project is legit or not because ICOs can run into scam at any stage or even after the sale over so as mentioned above it is highly risky investment and not for to everyone to be investor on ICOs.

Of course, you should do research before joining any ICO. I'm first investigating the team members of the project. Then I reading the whitepaper. Finally, I reading the comments of other investors on the social media about the project. If I am trust the project after these researches then I joining with that ICO.

What you are doing is the correct way of investing in ICO as if the team members are real then you can proceed to read their whitepaper where they give full details about their project and development strategy. If not it is better to avoid that ICO and better buy and sell the reputed regular coins and earn through trading.

I myself haven't joined the ICO for a long time, where there are not many ICOs from the beginning of 2018 that have made investors profitable. then, how can investors trust the ICO project now, if they don't make better products and sell on the market. products that the market can enjoy will be products that have value, projects like that we are looking for.

Ofcourse you have to research before investing
Investments without research is more like a risk that can result in losses

So be smart and always do your own research

[Peterdav]

Of course I did research before investin in the ICO, but currently I am no longer investing in ICO. Its more difficult to find good ICO project right now and now I choose to invest in the IEO.

Yes. We should make our own research before investing in a certain ICO, study its background and the team behind the ICO so that we can justify if its legit or not. We invested a big sum of money so we should be responsible of its security and assurance that it will also make profits in the end.

You have said it all and that is the truth. Every investor whether in this space or not needs a good reason to invest in any project. In the crypto space now, I think it's wise going for projects whose team already have something they are working on not just some imaginary products.

[Soberb]

I not only do research before investing, but i spend hours in researching about the coins I am  going to invest in. After all nobody wants their hard earned money to go to waste. As there are frauds going on in the crypto market, we should become extra aware to ensure we are not cheated under any pretexts. It is not that only newbie or newcomers should do research. All experienced or inexperienced should do research before investment. Only then go ahead. After all only good projects give you good returns. 

[carlisle1]

Do we really need to asked or answer this?does this sounds very stupid ?ofcourse we need to make research in each investment we are making because this includes our money that we hard earned so its a normal thing to find which one is reliable and profitable

You have said it all and that is the truth. Every investor whether in this space or not needs a good reason to invest in any project. In the crypto space now, I think it's wise going for projects whose team already have something they are working on not just some imaginary products.

Indeed the team must have product first before we invested,but not because they have already product means they will be successful because this will depend on how the team sell those and how to gather investors

[Ailmand]

I certainly agree with you. Based on my experience, it's risky to invest in new Ico's without doing a series of research. You should know how to value your funds so you should invest it in a trusted one. I have learned that it's important to know everything about a coin and its future plans just to know if it has a potential and if it's worth investing.

[DmitFomin]

You are right, you need to be extremely careful in investing in ICO. Now it has become popular to organize IEO and to participate in them is safer for investors due to the fact that before the IEO project is evaluated by the exchange team, which acts as a guarantor. But ICOs are still popular and collect the necessary amounts to launch a project. Here on the forum there is a guy who exposes scammers, you can contact him if you have doubts about the projects. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2204241

Most people don't want to believe their own research. This is our money we will search everything before invest any running initial coin offer. Because of don't trust any Initial coin offer people are now follow to initial exchange offer, people are tried of scammers and wrong research.

[Melo20]

The idea of investing in cryptocurrency has penetrated into many parts of our society. It is mind-blowing to think that people would be willing to invest their hard-earned money in something they can barely understand, but that’s exactly what seems to be happening in the crypto world.

[yobo2020]

Yes, that is the first you have to do before investing in ICO, after you have make proper research, make enquiry from your colleagues that you are in the business you are good to go. But it is advisable not to invest all you money in one project

[StreakW]

Of course, why people not research before investing?? For me i always do research or i dont but my friend do. And i think people will do research about team first, because that's most important. If all real then will reseach another information

[pelumi20]

You are very right about this and it doesn't not apply to ICOs alone, it applies to every form of investment. You should always do a proper research about any ico or investment you want to put your money into, because the lack of knowledge about it is very suicidal because you can easily be manipulated, played or scammed which means that all your money is gone. So always do a very good research and leave no Stone untouched when deciding to invest in any ICO.
