Do your research before investing in ICOs

[Parabellun1917]

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.

Hello! I fully agree with these words: “You should invest in the ICO project only if you are an experienced investor and are confident in the quality of the ICO project itself,” the representative says. As an alternative, consider investing or trading with a regulated supplier. It is necessary to carefully study the project before investing in it!

if you are an experienced investor...

This makes me laugh so hard. Everybody started as a newbie investor and there's no practice investing or investing for newbies. The thing is, if you're just starting out in investing (even non-crypto assets), you should always educate yourself about markets and market cycles and business cycles before commiting large sums of money.

Every good investor is doing a deep investigation of each project. People that are only investing in every ICO that is life is likely to cry that the whole industry is a bubble and scam, nothing is profitable and so on. Don't be like that guys.

[jolle123]

Ofcourse you need to do research before joining an investment on ICO it necessary for assurance that the project is legit and to be profitable.we dont want to losse instead we want ko earn and to make it real we must apply wisely minded in terms of investing.Invest only on good and legit project so to determine we must review them before investing.

I have previously invested in an ico that has not sent the tokens for 2 years. He ran into my inexperience. After that, I didn't buy.

[RasenShuriken]

I just thinking if some people would only research if they really wanted to invest in a long term, but people nowadays people just rush about profit and profit in short term. Bitcoin is the best place to find profit, they said.

[mersal]

Yes I do research definitely because without any type of knowledge about the investment we cannot invest properly so research something will giving the extra idea about what we are going to do and it will be the most important and necessary things for everyone to do research before an investment.

It looks like you are getting trapped by such ico dude. In fact that when we can do a deep research and we can get a high chance to avoid scam ico, I never get scammed by scam ico because the public's opinion was giving me a lot of help to determine that.

[Nuxxorcoin]

The answer to the question is yes. Blockchain technology is not just a stock market. The stock market is only part of this technology. Before investing in a project, especially whitepaper, then the team and other features should be examined in detail.

we must see how the market responds first, where many people will comment if the ICO will be good. I am very careful if I want to invest in ICO. even though it's not a scam, we also have to consider its development until the price can improve on the market.

[Romeotom]

Doing everything research needed for everyone ico, then it will make you feel right ico. Actually If you not invested in the right ico then your funds may be nested in the future.

[Jackrodwell]

That must be learned before investing. Of course if you have analyzed and the results in your opinion are good. Of course the next decision is in your hands. Do you want to invest or not. Because investing in crypto is certainly no accountability from any party if something happens.

Proper research on any ico is key before thinking of investing, learn to take time to know about the project and the team as well, lot of scam ico out there,don't be a victim to scammers.

[LimLims]

As per your title, a user can give a direct answer that, YES.
Cmmon, who doesnt love their money? So literally, they gonna do some sort of research obviously.
And yes now a days, many ICOs are turning into scam, so people i would rather say to do some research.
One more thing always choose reputable ICOs to invest.
Hope this helps you.

[miklesm]

Actually, there are not so many ICOs today - the most projects are holding IEOs, so there is no need to analyze the project. The only problem is to buy the tokens faster than thousands of bots as the profit is almost guaranteed on top exchanges.

Blind investors are the reason why scam projects are still launched everyday,they attrafted by the offers and prices but they are nit doing any research about the team or about the whitepaper or even in the scam accusation section but at the end they will blame cryptos for getting scammed.

[Paul Pogba]

Research before investing is the most important thing, if it is not research then we can get a scam, always do research and find as much information as possible so that we get profit according to the target.

[raven7886]

What more research can investors do other than the ones they are doing already and yet still getting scammed, Most of the activities surrounding investing in ICO are being done over the internet, and even if you have to verify anything, it cannot be done physically.

The use of whitepaper is no longer effective and even if you talk directly with them, the scammers no longer even care if we get to know them or not, that is why you see some of these projects blacklisting IP of countries that they feel will easily find out about their whereabouts. The best to do now is to probably have a link to the country where the project reside and get a friend or someone to help verify them.

there are so many icons that appear every month but many also don't have projects in the real world and this becomes a problem if after ico finishes eating it will be very difficult for them to distribute their coins to the market because there is no real project.

I agree that you not only should but you must, this is the riskiest time to invest, I have seen so many failed project, so many ICO that looks promising, only to end up scamming or ICO that failed to deliver their promise, check other people's opinion and equip yourselves with tools that can trace them if they are faking their project.

Of course. investing without seeking information about the ICO is like investing in uncertain things. I think, some ICOs are of poor quality, therefore reseacrh is really needed. sometimes an ICO has good success, but has a bad team. well, many things need to be avoided.
