Never trust an ICO ranking site!

[casperBGD]

I personally use ico ranking sites as reference materials and do not depend on them. as wise investors need to research more about the project, the product and how big the investor or partner in it. the ico website does not fully guarantee that the project will succeed.

agree, it could be a first reference, but marketing money is there to cover up all project fails, when rank on ICO, so i do not believe in rankings that much, just a first glance, if that score is bad, than chances that project is good are really small, although could be

yes it is true, that to not completely trust the ICO website or use it for reference materials only. I personally also do not trust any ico web sites, learning from previous experience that I have trusted ico web sites that display good projects like #Miracletele but in reality the project ends with fraud.

The ico website only cares about payments and doesn't care about the project data that is displayed, therefore you shouldn't rely too much on or trust any ico ranking sites. what they display is not what you expect it to be.

True, it's hard to find a reliable review provider nowadays, they operate for a profit, so we can't expect that they will not be bias as they could be bribe by a certain project just to get a good review on the website, even the most review provider, we can't totally rely on them.

To ensure we are confident of our decision, we need to make a research and investigate on our own.

Don't make the mistake of trusting rating sites.
Most of them are paid rating sites and will always yield to the bidder that's why there are disclaimers.

Do your researches without bias, use rating sites as a tool

I don't believe in ICO ranking sites. Most of them are paid and not real.
The more they get from the team (payment) the better the rank they will give!

What I am looking for in ICO is looking at MVP, live and working products. Something that really can make a difference. Not just empty words with fancy pictures.

I have been telling this people for a long time. It's not the ranking sites only, there are ico advisors and YouTube channels also who promotes projects. Now the question is how do you differentiate? Do they talk about Cons of the project? Do any of them ? Mostly they don't. If any one of them does then it is likely that he is not bought by the project to do the review about them.

I think people should know to research on their own no matter how much the project is on buzz and no matter how many advisors are advising to invest. It's your money and you should do your due diligence. They are not going to compensate the money if the project scams.

In my opinion if they have a website with real photos of the team I think that it will be safe for your investment . Be sure they have linkedin accounts connected with their websites

some cases many who scam and put up fake photos and make it look like it means they take pictures of someone who is on the internet and after that put it on the project website that was developed and as if he was part of the team so that if only linkedin I think it's still lacking safe, at least have a variety of media associated with it and make sure to search for images that have in common.

There are still many ICO rating sites now even though there are lesser and lesser ICO being launched, if the ICO is stopped or investors stopped investing in ICO totally I don't see the rating sites continuing their business, which they badly messed up by supporting scam ICO in the past and until now.

I'm just afraid when people see the ranking of a project on a rank site, then that person is interested. however, until now there have been quite a number of projects that have become scams, and still have good data on sites like that. to be honest, I also don't really believe in the rank given, but it's good enough for those who are new to crypto investments.

Agree with you, more and more ICO review websites are appearing. But since most of them are replicating each other and making unfair reviews, we shouldn't trust these review sites because they often receive money from new projects to make judgments positive review

The time ICO rating website use to be useful is long gone, since the 2017 most of them have turned greedy and can sell their soul for money. Anyone still relying on them for investment decision should just invest in Lottery. Good that ICO is dieing gradually but I have feeling something similar to ICO would return and people would forget about what happens in 2017 and 2018

Yes, that's right, but now many of the original team photos can be edited in such a way that it is very difficult to differentiate between real and fake, as well as fake websites that are almost identical to the real ones, so be careful before you go ahead make investments.

I guess you meant about icobench but it looks like the majority of ico sites are not doing it. There must be some exceptions for those sites who are actively giving good information regarding the legit icos.
Some sites like icodrop never did it. In my life the only site was doing paid to promote was icobench.

ICO websites are for reference purposes only, so don't ever rely on it completely, many projects are well rated but in fact they are scam projects. Do your own research and be very careful when it comes to investing in ICO projects at the moment

Yes, it's better to do risk without bias, and use ranking sites only as a tool not to trust them, because paid ranking sites will always provide attractive offers to each of their users, so doing your own research is much better than directly trusting ranking sites.

This is true & it didn't surprise me either. Everyone who already involved & has some knowledge about the crypto world knows that very well. Here any project can be presented as higher ratings for some money. So investing based on this rating is nothing but nonsense.

That's right, always be careful if you want to invest in new projects, always research their projects and read whitepapers too, and never be tempted by the offers they offer, such as big discounts and big profits in a short amount of time.

[Crypto_lion]

I think the promotors promoting the ico and these ranking sites and excels are all a farce. It was at its peak during the 2017 bull run and too many people fell for it.

Reading the whitepaper will not help you avoid scam projects. You need to do a lot of other research to be able to find good projects in this market

I have known that for a long time now especially during the time ICOs were still very much active. As of then most people shared their concerns on how ICO ranking sites will rate a project good or give high rate and the project will end up becoming the reverse of the rate given to it. This lead to the creation of many ICO ranking sites but yet all are in one way or the other, the same. It is good you have known the truth, with it, you can make more informed decisions on the type of project to invest in; take note, not only for ICOs as they are already dead but IEOs as well.
