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

[Deeshawn]

Is not funny have not for once participate in any ICO program before, I prefer waiting for my favorite project to get listed on exchange and buy for a long time hold than buying ICO. There are alot of risk attached to buying ICO's, one of the reason I keep avoiding it.

In 2017, I managed to get involved in an ICO, which later went bust. It's good that this was a trial experience for me, and I did not risk a large amount. Now I would never do this, but then I still believed in something.

The first project I invested into was a renewable energy company which control WPP token. This project was my very first and I ran into a big lose, though on a long run the project brought me some good gains. This project made me not to get into other cryptocurrency projects because I lost but summoned courage and proceeds to others that earned me huge profit. AEN was the second cryptocurrency projects I took part in their investment and made good profits smoothly. Advise: if your first cryptocurrency projects investment don't workout then try another.

I wanted to invest in an ICO in 2018, but I stopped. Although, I cannot vividly pinpoint what made me not to invest in it, despite having the fund at that time. TIll date the project has not listed on any exchange. The simple truth about it is that, it's a scam project, because they disappeared all of a sudden. Although there were very good ICOs, as at when it was still very much relevant. Things have now changed, so it's better not to invest in any ICO project.

It was Kickico project, one of the most successful project in 2017. Still i am holding the coin. There are many big development updates are incoming of this project. Recently they launched one of their products kickexchange.

The first and only ICO that I invested in was Sparkster. And I still regret it till today. Because I didn't take my take to research it well, I only invested because of a top crypto analyst that hyped it. It turned out the project was a scam.

I remember it and AFAIK kick ico has a good result on its ico but that's very sad to see the team can't even follow the market trend and the product that has already created by kick ico gets became a dead platform when IEO was replacing the crowdfunding platform. The old vision of kickico to the created a crowdfunding platform.

I invested in Smart Investment Fund Token. I was lured by the thought of passive income from dividends but they've had a horrible ROI and dumped them a long time ago.

Just like me, I first learned of crypto in mid 2017. As far as I remember, I first invested ICO, Crowd Wiz in December 2017, and I made a decent profit. I forget again how much profit is certain, because at that time there were so many benefits that I got from trading crypto, bounties etc. You could say the end of 2017 was my best year at crypto with high income.

I have known about this project in the past, but luckily I was warned and avoided losing money. That time Sparkster was talked about a lot and there were thousands of investors willing to invest at any time but all were fake and I quickly left the project.

Now, there are still many ICO projects like this and you need to spend time researching carefully before investing because there is always a risk when you invest in ICO.

[inanilujimi]

in 2017 almost every ICO held will be sold out before the end of time is determined, I remember once the ICO that I followed at that time was the oyster protocol from which I took x 200 of crew capital.
really a very rare momentum for people to flock to get it, but at this time ICO no longer has good interest and is merely enriching the owner.

I was unlucky in ICO world. When I first invested is in the Exscudo project, the development Exscudo project was not very good so they delayed the distribution tokens, then they distributed tokens after the price dropped. Until now I still hold several EON tokens but I don't know if they have been scammed or not today.

I invested on many ICO from 2016 until 2020 and get many worth ICO and bad ICO, but I think usually when getting bad ICO with lower price after listing and I know is risk I have faced when start investing on ICO project, just one reason I don't like with ICO because never give exactly date with their coin listing on the market.

[Vitalicus]

Well my first ICO that I invested was Bob's repair and lucky that I profited it was 2018. When the market was crashing down I never invested ICO anymore because many projects were failed and some turned to scam.

I am very fortunate to have invested in a lot of big ICO projects like Bancor, Adex, AppCoin and these are all projects that helped me to earn very high profits during that time. However, these coins are no longer the same as before and no one cares so these coins are currently at a very bad price. Now it seems that IEO is getting more interesting because any IEO project is guaranteed liquidity if it is a potential project.

Those were ICOs in 2017, and in 2017 there were many successful ICOs. I have also been successful with many ICOs and it gives me a lot of profits. But until now those projects have died or become scams in this market, it's too risky for us to invest in new projects.

In 2017, it was very risky to invest in cryptocurrency. Everyone was perplexed by the jump to Bitcoin, and this alerted me.

[Gaaara]

I've remember it was the year that the cryptocurrencies bloomed (2017), I earn some good fortune in campaign and after earning some I saw TaaS and risk investing even though I don't know much of the trading. I guess it was worth it since everything went well after that and been able to take some reasonable profit and excluding the coins I get from bounty I probably got 150% return investment.

First ICO I ever invested was ICON (ICX). Invested in 2017 of September & it was listed on Binance in December of the same year. It did like 100x from the ICO price after few weeks of getting listed. I was very glad because my first investment gave me a huge profit. Ever since I am investing in good ICOs & IEOs till now.

[Diamond_Darrell]

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!

Great branch. Thanks to cheezcarls for creating it. The first project I invested in was MGO https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mobilego/

Like everyone else, he succumbed to the hype and the frantic feverish pursuit of X's.
