WILL YOU STILL INVEST IN CRYPTO ?

[Darooghe]

Crypto is not investing. It's speculation and the word investing is not accurate here. However about ICO, it depends upon how much risk you are willing to take on, and how well you know the ICO space. While there are a few good ones out there with incredible potential, even the potential to make overnight millionaires, one has to know which ones to invest in, from having read the white papers and done the necessary research.

I would advise caution with ICO’s, because there are a lot of pump and dump schemes out there in the space as well, that cause people to lose their entire investment. So It is often best to invest in a mixture of ICOs and large-cap cryptos like Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Monero, Cardano, EOS and Neo. this mixture provides stability to your portfolio but still allows for drastic gains from solid ICOs.

I would still invest in IEOs on Huobi and Gate.io, because those two exchanges are still giving profit to their IEO investors. On the contrary, the last Binance IEO gave nothing back and the price is now below the IEO.

After 2018 where more than 80% of all ICO proved to be a fraud, so that gradually many investors began leaving ICO because of the fraud factor, and its effects that until now many ICO projects have not gotten the maximum results in sales.
Of course, it is very reasonable if now investors are starting to switch to investing in IEO because it is clear that IEO is very beneficial for project developers and exchanges, and for most investors who buy tokens from reputable crypto exchanges is very important, especially given the high prevalence of fraud in the ICO world.

The only luck that ICO still has left are bounty hunters, and they are still joking with them, because if not for hunters who are still promoting these projects believe me that no one would have still paid any interest at all to ICO which will make even the genuine projects to suffer also, but we still have some hunters that have not given up on ICO, and they are still advertising them which In the process of making the advertisement, lots of people that have not known about ICO challenges yet will rush into buying the tokens, which is why many people ask that amidst all these cryptocurrency tension, there are still many people that are investing in cryptocurrency every day and getting dupe.

Luck may run out on ICO if hunters too refuse to advertise them again.

I would like to add Bitcoin forks and new-wave coins like GRIN into your list, because on the wave of upcoming hype of halving we may see interesting market picture.
Halving period can`t be held without big XXX from some project. This time I think GRIN or ChainLink may get the top because their marketing and technology, community are really good.

I totally understand what you have written here, but still don't forget that we have many people that are not aware of cryptocurrency yet and until, they have made some investment before they start knowing or hearing about some of these scam projects. The percentage of cryptocurrency adopters is still very low compared to what it should be, and projects like Facebook and the rest are beginning to create awareness for cryptocurrency because of their intention to join the cryptocurrency sphere.

My old folks whom I have never for once told about cryptocurrency recently once approached mw that they are hearing that Facebook want to launch a coin that they would like to invest in, it was then I started explaining things to them about the whole cryptocurrency and even at that, they were still willing to take some risks.

yes, I also still invest in some IEOs that run on large exchanges and do not invest in ICOs or IEOs that run on untrusted exchanges.
sorry it seems your statement is wrong, so far there are no coins / tokens from IEO Binance whose price is below the IEO price.

The boom of ICO's is over. This year we saw some IEO's but basically it was the same, just with changed name, to avoid some restrictions that were implemented in order to block scammy ICO's. A lot of investors lost astronomical amount of money during that ICO's boom. Now days everyone became skeptical about ICO's IEO's and crypto investments in general. So here are some questions.

1. Will you still invest in ICO or IEO if there is an interesting project ?

2. Will you invest in a new ready coin (Not a fork) ? If yes which one do you prefer.

A. Coin with POW algorithm (Mining equipment or pool needed)

B. Coin with POS algorithm (Mining equipment not required. Computer with running wallet is enough.)

C. Coin with POS algorithm based on fixed block reward

D. Coin with POS algorithm based on a percentage reward.

P.S. I excluded masternode coins, because most of them are scams.

Answers:

1. For now, I will just focus on investing to altcoins which are already in the market. These coins have more potential to grow.
2. Based on my answer to the first question, it's a yes. Most likely I will prefer the option D, Coin with POS algorithm based on a percentage reward.

I prefer Proof of Stake with algorithm based on a percentage reward because it allows its stake holders to get the maximum amount of reward they deserve regardless if the market is bullish or bearish. Unlike in fixed block reward, you wouldn't get the advantage of a bullish market.

for a bounty hunter like me might still participate instead of investing in ICO or IEO projects because if happened is fraud then only time is wasted not money. well, even though the ICO boom is over but that maybe will also happen to IEO because as you said, that's it is true if ICO and IEO are is same just with changed name. the scammer will continue to exist on ICO or IEO.

Ye true why we invest if there's a alternative like bounty we can get and accumulate coins in our reward than to invest in scam. Wasting money in investing in ICO and also in IEO because its the same maybe only the change but if there  a scammer in ICO there an scammer also in IEO. We might careful where we invest our money so that we can not go with a wrong move.

be careful when investing is important because what determines your investment is yourself. when there is fraud there is definitely a project that really wants to build, so increase research knowledge first because it is the basic before investing wisely

It's not advisable to invest into ICO or IEOs as of now because of the reputation which they have created for themselves with too many scam projects and yes I would day we could rather invest into existing altcoins with great potential instead of losing our hard earned money behind ICOs or IEOs, same goes with hunters as well because they waste their valuable time in bounties which either turns out to be SC or refrain from paying rewards when it has value.

Seeing the fact the market now makes me not invest crypto, but I still hold bitcoin and 7 altcoins with a value of around $ 1700, hopefully the market will improve soon so that the price of crypto can skyrocket again.

[pamsugas]

for now I am still focused on investing into bitcoin and some of the top marketcap altcoins.
no more ICO investment because some ICOs are not as good as the new ICOs appeared.
Investing in a large IEO market is not bad but it is difficult to get tickets so I think I focus on investing in BTC and top altcoin only.

[LargoCoin Foundation]

1. No, unless there is some strong business model and confirmed open-source code on GitHub that is original.
2. DPoS is preferable, something like COSMOS looks good

now I also do that, investing in bitcoin and some of the top altcoins compared to having to invest in ICO, and for IEO I have never invested in it. maybe a lot of threads that are talking about IEO and I just want to try to find out more deeply

I don't think its fair to compare apple with oranges, like we are comparing ICOs and IEOs. IEOs are much more scam free if they are launched from a legitimate exchange. I am still investing in IEOs that I find attractive.

people have different views, of course, if you think that IEO is interesting to invest in then you choose the term. all kinds of technology must be tried to find out the impact, the most important thing is to be careful when investing
