5 Things to know about ICOs before you invest in them

[Rengga Jati]

No need 5 things to know about ICOs. For me, we need 1 thing only. What is that? The fact that ICOs just produce worthless altcoins + rarely investors are interested to put their money there. This fact is more than enough to avoid you invest in ICOs.

5. There are good ICOs out there[/b]

From my own personal experience in the industry, what I’ve realized is that there are also many good ICOs who are actually trying to do something genuine, finding a solution to a real problem and creating profits for the investors. However, finding them out of the jumble of bad ICOs is something that requires patience and a lot of research.

Pieta is one such ICO. Pieta is a cryptocurrency based on ERC20 standard of Ethereum. The Pieta coin is the native coin of the Pieta ecosystem, which is a mining platform being developed to be powered by solar energy. You can find out more about Pieta at https://pieta.network

You created a thread today to promote your project's ICO, but the sale was completed on November 14th
By the way, your token is already registered on the exchange, but why is the volume so small?

If you search carefully then you will find that ICOs do not just create worthless altcoins but their whole details show that they are created a beneficial platform for the crypto community which will bring convenience for all of us. There are a number of scam projects which we all know but many other legit and beneficial fails because the developers are not much expert either in creating what they promised or in doing perfect marketing which is must required for the success of all projects.

I dont think anyone wants to invest in ICO's these days, People have understood that ICO's doesnt make people rich right now, they only make the angel investors rich and usually the creators bail out if there is too much hype. Even IEO's not running because even exchanges are not that trustworthy.

ICO are almost forgotten this year and very few people choose to invest in this form because the risk is too great and always makes participants nervous. I think it's best to stay away from ICO projects because you certainly will not be able to make a good profit. Currently, IEO/IDO/STO is an investment trend that is more interested in people and will definitely help you to make a profit if you know how to research.

However, at this time the market is still not stable, so you need to be more careful because if you participate in a bad project, your risk will increase.

The sad reality of investing in new projects now. That's why if those potential project will be able to skip ICO and just do private partnership with different compabnies that may help them please do so ,so you'll have to join in the market as many investors now deny public ico and simply prefer those projects who wants to propose and develop with them.

Most people are focused in IEOs nowadays because of the automatic coin listing. People are tired of waiting for a long time for ICO tokens or coins to be listed. Most investors care about the value of a coin or token more than it's use case or final product.

Very good points. But there is one more that I have been implementing since 2018, namely stay away from ico even though there are good ones. One thing that I do not want to go back again to participate in ico because some of them are good in development but do not provide benefits and some are slow in development but instead provide benefits. From this, I no longer want to join ico, no matter how good the project. What I know now is that the market price is the original price, not when it is fitted.

Yeah but it is just so difficult to spot them.
It really differs about the will of the management behind it.
Some of them really have the fund but just needed help to push the project into a different level.
What I mean is, there is already a company that is ongoing. But it cannot go forward due to lack of funds.
Since they are not being backed by their government so they are forced to create another option. And that is ICO.

[acdc]

The heyday of the ICO is over and the ICO is almost dead now, at the moment I don't see any ICOs that are considered good. So investing in ICOs at this time is unwise, even gambling is better than investing in ICOs.
Because anyone can create a coin of their own, junk coins and junk ICOs are everywhere, which undermines investor confidence. I think there should be stricter rules for ICOs and development teams to stop spam and fraud projects.

Your assessment of ICO is very inaccurate, because valuable altcoin was also born through the ICO program, so before assessing ICO it would be better for you to do your research first, rather than assessing everything the same.

Inaccurate when his intention is 2015 ago or when the ICO just come. But it will be accurate when his intention is now, can you give an altcoin who has successfull to lounch the project through ICO?

The prospect of the current ICO project is likely to still be advanced and successful. The OP said the ICO could still be a profitable investment, but in reality out of 100 projects only 1-10 were legal or real. investment in ICO for now cannot be ascertained, in fact I say other than capital, analysis or research. You must pray and be lucky.
Even the IEO project as a revision of the ICO can also be said only delusional for crypto-world, there are many manipulations and not transparent. can be said as a professional con artist.

1. ICOs are not Exclusive

First thing you must know about ICOs is that they are not exclusive to any particular company, team, investor group or audience. Anyone and everyone can use the ICO method for raising funds for their new company, project or product. The only prerequisite to conducting an ICO sale is that you must have a team who knows how to create and launch a token.

Yes it is true, anyone can do that if they have people who know how to make and launch tokens. Therefore I am of the opinion that cryptocurrency is a free market where anyone can participate or make something according to what they can do. And in ICO we have to be more careful in choosing projects and at least we need to know some ways to differentiate which are projects that can be turned into scams and which have potential.

Thanks for pointing these out, but on a more serious note, I think the era of ICOs are gone and forgotten, they served their purpose wherein only few projects were legit and a greater number scams thus paving way for IEOs. The fact is, ICOs aren't worth it again as no one is willing to risk their funds in the hands of any team; even if there is an upcoming ICO which looks good, the chances of succeeding is slim because investors are now wise.

ICOs are prone to fraud and scam, but then you went ahead to tell us to invest in Pieta ICO.  That is very confusing to me and other fellow investors out there. Try something better than ICO or even IEO. Check out my signature for more information.

You should understand that the OP is providing solution to investors in other to build trust while he also send them to grave through the trust he might have gain from them. However, i think the community need to know ICOs are mostly used by crypto scammer and IEOs are now the best option.

[HabiebRiziq]

The truth is nobody is interested in ico's anymore, the bad ones killed it for the few good ones, any project hosting an ico will not have investors because too many of them have turn into scam,
i don't know why it is very hard to see a project do self funding without ieo/ico! if we have so many self funding project the rate of scam project will reduce because it will be hard to ruin a project you invested your personal money to develop, and this idea will give investor confidence to invest on such project.

The number of new projects turned into scams makes investors hesitant to invest in new projects and if the project does not do ico and they have their own funding to develop their projects I think it can reduce the existence of new projects that become a scam, but if the project new have their own funding so they do not need to do ico and I think this is not possible because the existence of ico is to get funding from investors in order to develop the project.

I have my list of 5 things to know before you invest in them

1) Don't invest at an early stage if you don't know to code or analysing the project's potential.
2) Make sure they have enough money to advertise.
3) They should have some bounties paid in bitcoins as well.
4) The team should be easily available on other social media networks accept telegram.
5) Don't invest in ICO's they're a scam.

[Gotumoot]

Scams created bad impressions about ICO'S, But i believe that once the ecosystem is regulated the ecosystem will boost its morale again. We really feel bad if most investors fall to different crypto scams because it can slow adoption and people will begin to distance from this industry.

In fact investors are starting to distance in ICO campaigns due to the widespread scam today. And it's because of the scammers who ruined the ico name today, And you're right regulation will restore trust but who will enforce it?

[Spider A4]

ICO's mainly popular only since 2017 and which time almost 95% projects was big success. But in 2018 ICO's was less popular because when came IEO's is a big trend for investors because it's a guaranteed exchanges. In the IEO's era i don't think ICO's will be strongly return.
