I had a pretty good experience from my friends in 2016, at that time I didn't really understand the Bitcointalk forum, but I was familiar with several cryptocurrency exchanges like Bitcoin.

So my initial experience I know ICO is Zcoin (XZC), at that time I was a little doubtful, understand because I just knew ICO, friends convinced me, about investing, so I tried with a capital of $ 500, with the price of crypto (XZC) when it was around $ 0.2 if I'm not mistaken, one year I saw the price of Zcoin has reached the level of $ 169.
This is an experience that I will never forget about crypto especially ICO Zcoin, even though prices are plummeting right now.

When I first started my journey to the crypto world,ICO was a hot cake back then.But I don't have money to invest.So I was not interested in investing.But DIGITEX(Dgtx) project got me hooked and somehow I managed money and invest in digitex around 500$.Digitex ico price was approximately 0.015$ more or less.I have been benefited a lot from digitex.I had sold my half of coin.And I still hold around 5000 dgtx coin.Now digitex price is 0.056$.It has now 3X more than the ICO price.

Then I invested in few others ICO and but made a big loss.

As far I remember Waves was the first ICO where I invested. And I can successfully say that I have got the profitable project in my starting of the adventure. I sold those waves when it was 3.5$+ and got a good profit. I also bough a token called ETHBits(ETBS) I think or something like that. But it failled me badly. In 2017 I invested in Playkey ICO and other one I think Riviz(RVZ) something like that. Playkey was a success for me and RVZ was not that profitable.

Mine was raiblocks, what is called nano right now. I know it was a long time ago but it was very very famous at the time, and I have to agree that it peaked over 30 dollars for a while as well. Right now, it is sitting at 1 dollar which is not bad considering it dropped under .70 for a while.

However I do not believe it will go back to good old days, I believe it will never be over 30 dollars ever again, which is why I think it is quite important that we get out at the right time when we get into ICO once again. It is not easy to know when it is the peak but when you do 10x something there is a way to get out and you should, because if you wait for that 100x, that may never come and you may end up in a loss. That is at least what I learned from this mistake myself, to each to their own I suppose.

I'm really not interested in ICO investment since I joined the world of crypto currencies, I prefer to be an airdrop hunter and bounty hunter, because the risk is not too great

In 2017 I first started investing in ico. I participated in many ico. The main reason for this was just the hype of ico all around. Lots of new people were coming to the crypto market and investing. I tried to verify them well before I invested in icos, but I wasn't always right. I was scammed in some projects.

There are many like me who have been victims of scams. That was the best time for scammers. Due to ico hype, people lost their funds by investing in projects without doing good research. Now that the days of ico are over, investors have become smart enough.

[hulla]

I think electroneum was the first ICO that I’ve invested, and i already have little knowledge about ICO, so when the price increase, i think i sold about 80% from my investment and i got so much profits. This is make me happy, but slowly ICO era is over. All coin i hold dump, also many become scam. That's why i stop to join in ICO

Thats a smart decision but out of curiosity, why would you think the project is the first ICO project you invested in?
With that been said, the first ever ICO I invested in was Komodo back in the year 2016 which was also among the successful ICO then and every investors make profit.

[Slingshot]

The first ever ICO I invested in was in 2017 of which things were moving very well. I invested and made good profits then but lost almost all in 2018 and 2019. 2020 despite pandemic is kinda going well and I anticipate more profits

for ICO in 2017, we can see some success in getting development funds. but many also eventually died in development after 1 year of the project. now I don't see many new projects that really can survive in the long run especially for ICO.

[pilosopotasyo]

What about you guys? Could you share the very first ICO that you’ve invested? Thanks!

I am very unlucky on my first investment because I invested in a scam project the name of the project is Adab only a small amount, but I lose 80% of my investment the project looks good from the start until there a lot of bad reports on it, I learn that looks can be deceiving here in Crypto world.

[angrybirdy]

My first ever ico investment was Encryptotel (ETT), it was a success but because I believe so much in the project, I keep on holding until its value decreases lower than the ico price. Instead of making a profit, I end up having less. This is a very unfortunate experience for me and because of that, I didn't invest again anymore.

2017 was considered the most successful year of the crypto market because most of the ICO projects at that time were very good, and it was easy for you to make a profit if you knew how to analyze. During that time, there was a lot of getting rich from this type of investment, and I was also fortunate to participate in some large ICO projects like Tezos. However, things are different now, and since the bear market came about it has become much more difficult to make profits.

hopefully, that becomes a valuable lesson for you. more careful in choosing new projects for your investment. I only invest in projects that are already on the exchange. rarely buy ICO ever popular in 2017.

My first ico was ADA and that's also my biggest regret caused by I have sold my ADA when it was not reaching the peak price. If I can go back at that time and it will never try to sold my ADA but it's only in my dream and this time ada has already entered top 10

I had made my first investment in WPP energy ICO, which seems so grateful for that time, and still, it has great potential in its growth but the team has to work consistently throughout its complete development. Right now the price of the token has been consistently falling. But I hope sooner or later it will going to be succeeded.

Recently I have seen its price rise more than 100 times, so many people have profitably when hold it. I used to hold some WPP but I didn't have the patience to hold it until now, sell everything too early and at the bottom

I started with the "lending coins" in 2017. The ilks of Westerncoin, Glasscoin, Regalcoin, Hextra just to name but four. It was an era of ICO that got a lot of newbies like myself wrecked. Apart from being a stressful engagement trying to buy in because there was always a timeline to buy in and most of those ICOs were easily sound out within minutes, it ended in tears. We always tried to get in at the same time and traffic to those sites would instantly get packed. All those coins later turned scam. It's a regrettable experience for me.

Cybermiles was the first ICO that I participated in, I still remember it clearly because it gave me some huge profits. Its price has increased by more than 10 times the ICO price and since then it has made me passionate about investing in ICOs.

It's not always all that rosy. My advice to you is to sell a part of that hodling to get back your capital (that's even if you don't have any pressing financial issue to solve yet). We have seen projects crash after attaining an ATH.

I'm glad that the first coin I invested still alive and kicking and that coin is Dogecoin, but right now I don't have Dogecoin anymore, but I'm glad that my first investment, still in the market, I sold a big number of my Dogecoin because it is not moving at all, but just recently it made a big pump because of the TikTok application.

I was the same, in 2016 and 2017 I had a lot of Dogecoin. And I also sold all at that time to make a profit, it's good that DOGE is still alive to this day and still receives a lot of attention from investors.

[casperBGD]

since i was in with investment after 2018 peak, i did not have the chance to invest in ICO, and see that as good thing, since there was a lot of projects that tanked down after ICO, if i had a chance to invest in ETH ICO, that would be different, but was not part of crypto at that time, unfortunatelly

[Zazzu]

The first ICO I invested in was IQT, but unfortunately it was a scam project and I lost $ 400 when I invested in it. I then invested in a few other ICOs and got a profit from it
