What was the first-ever ICO you’ve invested?

[cheezcarls]

2017 was the year that I have started my cryptocurrency journey. During that year alone, I invested in some few ICOs on top of participating in airdrops and bounty programs.

Blackmoon Crypto Token (BMC) was the first ever ICO that I’ve invested. I think I shelled out $10.00+ for that since I’m just a micro-investor. I remember the time that Blackmoon Crypto Token is almost sold out, so I had to catch up and good thing that I did.

Unfortunately, Blackmoon Token didn’t profit more than $1.00 when it was listed in exchanges. My $10.00 worth of BMC is now $0.42 only. The reason I hold it until now is because I want to keep this as a remembrance of the first-ever ICO that I’ve invested.

The other ICOs that I have invested next to Blackmoon last 2017 are Paragon Coin, Electroneum, Universa, Crypterium and LoyalCoin. Unfortunately all of these ICOs I’ve invested are at a loss, but I didn’t sell them until now.

On top of that, I also invested some TRXs as well during that year and until now I haven’t sold them. XRP is another coin I have invested when it was still around $0.77, but successfully sold them when it almost reached $4.00. I also bought DOGE when it was still $0.006 and sold it when that coin is on it’s way to an all-time high for a quick profit.

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

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

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.

My first investment was a paragon coin, at that time I still didn't know about ICO, I just followed the advice of my friend. but in reality I lost a lot of money there. after that I tried to learn to understand ICO and I managed to get profits in 2017

[CjMapope]

i think mine was ANS (now NEO)
it was a really good one, 50x+ i believe, tho i weakhanded out and sold around x20

i was THERE for ETHS, but i was a noob, didnt know anything about ICOs, so never invested a penny! lol

[Jating]

I have invested a lot but I already liquidated all of them during it's boom and I'm glad that I did it, otherwise I will be also trapped similar to what had happened to the OP and many more other investors.

Yes, those where the happiest time, a simple to mid investors will really turn out to be profitable. Perhaps the question is are we going to see that kind of boom in the altcoin market? It was really crazy, there are lot of irrational investors (including me), but it really paid good dividends. But there are also who didn't sell and think that this madness will go on parabolic rise.

You are lucky to have a good determination to stay in the crypto market. I started investing in bitcoin and ethereum after the market declined in 2018. Previously I only worked on campaigns and didn't invest. and now I have traded daily for some altcoin on the exchange.

During ICO era, I was very skeptical about altcoins since I majored in trading BTC/USDT pair on spot trading. With time i decided to take the risk and invested in WABI, which is now TAEL seeing some team members from Alibaba, the product for anticounterfeit and the hype around the ICO. I made massive gains after, sold my bag in four phases on Binance. Oh the good old days ☺.

Will it be repeated again: D where the ICO era was very profitable, but all that is over latcoin is now no longer reliable because I think it's time to move to the current trends, maybe spot or futures trading will be better and more challenging in my opinion .

I forgot the name because it was several months ago, I invested in yobit, and one of the new tokens launched there with an investment offer will have a few percent interest. but after a few weeks it didn't add up, I pulled it back because I didn't know whether I was the one who misunderstood the understanding of the investment or how. and after that no longer, except for big coins like etherum and xrp, I still invest there. in my opinion for ico or new tokens, it's better to just join the bounty.

My first ICO was cobinhood, at that time I invested 1 ETH and got 100% ROI from my investment. after that I invested in several ICOs because I saw the profits that I got from the project. the second project that I invested in was Pundix, Utrust, and INS ecosystem (now insolar). at that time I saw their project was quite convincing because it could raise a sizable amount of funds. after that I also invested heavily in new projects, but nothing worked. seeing the number of new projects that did not turn a profit, I decided to focus on trading.

As I remember, the first ICO I ever invested was something called TTF. They were a project that aimed to create an exchange with their own stable coin called TTF. They missed their roadmap by large and though they made a working exchange, it was primitive and had no volume. My investment too was low of just about $80 but I lost them all as I never cashed out from them. Don't even know if they still exist.

[Kupid002]

I also invested in ICO way back 2017 my first investment is humaniq I don't know if that project is still alive today but it give me large profit back then. The largest fund I invested is in primalbase if I remember I invested around 2btc and only 1/4 of it back to me from my investment.

I think the first ICO I ever invested was EOS. Their ICO ran for a complete year and I was not quite sure if to invest on it or not. But within the ICO, they were getting more and more attention due to their development and there was a great hype surrounding it. I bought some coins and sold them for some profit after about six months. And I don't regret it.

i was THERE for ETHS, but i was a noob, didnt know anything about ICOs, so never invested a penny! lol

The same experience for Ethereum.

I was also there when I've seen it very cheap and didn't expected that it's going to be one of the best altcoins. I wasn't a good researcher during that time and didn't see those good words about Ethereum until it became popular due to smart contracts.

[cabron]

It was WAVES that I first tried and then Stratis.  I have no idea what I was doing and then I started learning why most of the users are spreading lies about the projects which tend to drop below its ICO price. It looks like a strategy actually when I first tried it with WAVES. It was easier to earn BTC during that time though so I  didn't really care if I lose BTC its all for the experience. Right now I can already feel the scarce of the BTC that I resort to keeping ETH and even EOS.

The first ICO I invested in after missing so many profitable ICOs was Bitdegree (BDG). The project aim got me, education propagation on blockchain, but the outcome wasn't really cool for those who held BDG long term. The project was hyped by suppoman since he claimed to have invested in it. I sold some on fork delta upon unofficial listing but held a bulk too, since I was expecting 10x. Unfortunately, the BDG in my wallet has turned shit lol.

[gwaposakon]

I started my crypto journey around the same time too. I have experienced the previous bullrun and that was a great time for the crypto world. Like whatever ICO you join, there is great potential for good returns. I think the first ICO I have joined was Sapien. Got a good return at first but eventually got caught up with the crypto bubble and lost a bit.

[CuriousGeorge]

My first ico was iconomi and i have been buying it at the ico price and i have sold it for more than $1 for each iconomi and at that time the ico price of iconomi was around 20 cents.

I have made around 5x - 6x return from my first ico and that's the best thing happened in my life.

[arufox]

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
