Why Will you Invest in Ethereum ICO if it is just Starting ?

[pedrillo0]

In my studies, I've come to understand that ICO and IPO are very similar, as they are fundraising strategies for startups.

Here are the areas of differences.

1. ICO are mostly for crypto and Blockchain backed new startups, who need funds to build their businesses, while IPO are for companies that have track performance, that want to raise funds  to scale operations.

2. ICO is like crowd funding, which has less regulation, but IPO are heavily regulated.

Here is what I want us to discuss.

Since ICO investment is very risky as it depends the new startup whitepaper and the token, how did we know Ethereum would become successful through it ICO?

If Ethereum is to start afresh and do an ICO, why will you invest?

The game is over when ETH became one of the most important platforms for smart contracts.

The downside is that scammers now take advantage of this great platform to commit scams.

You need to know that there will always be risks in these new technologies ...

If indeed ETHEREUM does an ICO again, which is clear, I will certainly develop in it because,
ETH has clearly survived from year to year that I have participated in, and ETH prices continue
to increase from year to year even though there has been a gradual decline after 2018.

If the question is why we are investing, then the answer is obvious, everyone wants to make money. As for Ethereum, I see no reason to doubt this cryptocurrency, at least at the moment. Should I go to ICO on Ethereum? I think it's worth it if this ICO looks good and attractive. Why should we abandon this? I see that thanks to crypto projects on Ethereum, the crypto industry is developing and showing new results. Isn't that what we all want?

Ethereum has a good platform so it would definitely catch the interest of many investors. But in my case, who doesn't invest that much to ICOs, I'd probably not. ICO projects left an imression to us that it will just be good for short term only. I am into long term project investments. But to think it has lived s far as it is today, impressions are not certain. There are projects still worth investing for long term. Ethereum therefore is a good example of not generalising ICO projects.

As far as I know, Eth is the biggest platform that provides general use of smart contracts, and as we see they are dominating the entire altcoin market with their market cap. Scammers are just scammers, Even you have a very good system scammer will find a loophole to your system to commit their motives. It's not a downside if you are well knowledge

they might be similar but not the same IPO are not being run by faceless people. Most of the ICO are being run by people you do not know their identity which make it hard for investors to make contributions. In 2017, people invest more on ICO without even know some of the team behind the project because the thought of getting scammed is not so rampant but long after, ICO are being hijacked by criminals. Also, in the past, we have seen project with not properly developed whitepaper raising alot of money and end up delivering well but today ICO Scammers will go as far as getting a well planned and neatly written whitepaper. If Ethereum is to launch an ICO again today, I am very confidence that alot of people will invest because they know who is behind the project irrespective of novelty of the project. At least if the project is not successful, they can get back their money

If we have projects that truely stands out, they will achieve huge success in their ICO. I believe Defi are such outstanding projects.

The DeFi market has already cooled down and people are now not willing to invest in DeFi projects because most of them are again turning out to be a bi-product of the ICO and just made to scam as much money as possible with no real product.

Because ethereum offers the technology needed to complement blockchain technology. besides that ethereum also has a large marketcap. there is always a risk in investing, in-depth research is highly recommended. but where you have the opportunity to invest in a project with good technology and an existing ecosystem, I'm sure you won't miss the opportunity to make that investment.

The large market cap is because they have a product that is actually usable and smart contracts was first introduced by ethereum which are now being used by every other token and coin. I agree one would not miss such an ICO now days but it is even harder to find such coins now because when ETH came, I am sure a lot of guys must have skipped investing considering the project too good to be true.
