[zorriman]

Hello all,

I've been investing in crypto since 2017 and now I would like to try to invest some money in a ICO.

I've been reading post from this forum and internet and now I now a few thing about this, though, I want to know if you have some hints on how to know if an ICO is promising.

Usually I check icodrop webpage but Im not totally secure on where to put my money in. I would like to know peoples criteria in order to choose a good ICO.

Please, any advice would be highly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

You need to know ICO on 2017 and right now has a lot differentiate.

On 2017
- The developer keep their promise about the roadmap and their goals.
- No scam and unrealistic money machine
- The coin is very worthy, just like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Right now
- The developer can't reach the goals and the project become dead.
- Many exist scam and offering 100x gains in few month(s).
- The coin is worthless and become shitcoin.

So I think ICO is dead right now and wasting your time, better go to ECO if you still want to invest in new coin.

But I suggest to invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum since it's has been proven and safe.

I have some criteria and these are my criteria

- Try to analyze its backers. The projects that backed by big companies will always be successful like injective, poolz, polkadot
- Try to identify team
- Try to take a look at MVP
- Try to engage with the community. A legit project will always have active community.


i have been actively joining in various ICOs, IEOs and IDOs on polkastarter, balancer and many more.

Still you looking for with ICO investment right now? I think the era of ICO have ended but now you can check with many stake coin giving big reward or you can joining with lauchpad on Binance, maybe ICO still worth by checking with team developer, good road map and looking with how experience developer of ICO project.

Too late for you to invest in ICO. What's on the trend are the defi's. But still do research on what makes a defi good to invest. And in my choice and opinion, I don't invest in any of those. Although I know that there really are investors who are making money from the features that it offers like farming, interest/apy.
Still, my personal choice would invest to altcoins that I know established and at the top like ETH.

the hype on ICO was decreasing since 2017 until now, maybe you should think about IEO or IDO
because both methode become a good options mate, moreover if the IEO run on TOP exchange like binance

I have a simple advice for you, stop investing in ICO as though I cannot say that it's a scam, but believe me, most of the projects are scam, you will just likely loss money. Why not invest in De-Fi, most popular now, or invest in coins with good liquidity listed in reputable exchanges.

simple criteria, you can learn closely if the project bring something new, such as features and tech buddy
also the project has a great and smart team inside, that always keep their promises

It's already 2021, I'm sure ICO is almost dead by now, what I mean is that we haven't heard any successful ICO who raises millions upon millions and became a good project. What we here from bounty hunters is almost complains, like the projects not paying on time, or decreasing their stakes on the campaign, projects not listing their token on exchanges and if they did, it's all on three-tier exchanges.

My point is that maybe you should look for other ways to invest your money, or just get bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) and then hold, less risk as compare to investing on ICO.

The features and tech didn't give a guarantee about the success of the project. The fact that if the project already supporter by so many VCs and Famous company and it can be used as verification to make sure if that's a legit platform.
I personally will not take the tech as the main consideration to invest in an ico project. It must be from the strategic partnership that already created.
The majority of legit projects were coming from this criteria. We know that injective protocol has so many strategic partnerships.

did you mean its better to invest on the project that already tradeable on excahange ?
and if yes, i agree with you because we have a lot of options now, rather than we bet our money by investing in ICO

Even the professional ICO developer finds it hard to identify which ICO is promising. Right now the market trend has changed and things are happening in a slow and steady manner without much of manipulation.

In the past ICO's were unorganised, and there'll be pump and dump teams that support the token for a pay. Few exchanges provide with good fake volumes, and this attracts the Beginners. Now this is very low, and that seems to be the reason why it is hard to find the potential ico.

[VanDeinsberg12]

Do you watch the result from the so many icos that ended recently, these icos have been making 10x from the ico price.
Investing in the tradable coin is good enough but it will not give us a lot of profit instantly. The people that wanna be another millionaire must do this through ICO.
They have no chance to be the whale from investing in the tradable coin on exchange site.

[Zemomtum]

At this moment, investing in ICO is too risky. Most project owners are overpromising to entice investors with an unrealistic roadmap. If you are indeed interested to invest in a new project, it will be good to do such through IEO that is conducted a reputable exchange like Binance, Kucoin, BitFinex, Houbi etc. Most often, these exchanges do not conduct IEO for projects that lack good use cases.

[BayAngelo]

This avenue remains the only way to capitalized and make good returns in this crypto space. Apart from the fact that people can participate in bounties and Airdrops. these are nolonger viable means to get better payments on crypto. else you can try trading if you think you are a good trader. it take time to trade and build a good portfolio. it is all about time.

yes you're right, community is an important one. a good and promising project must have an active community. and we also have to see their experience, background and how ready they are in launching the project.

ICODrops is a great site, I also usually see their recommendations. But that's not enough, nowadays there are many sites and telegram groups that can help you to choose projects such as:

https://cryptodiffer.com/ - https://t.me/cryptodiffer
https://t.me/Generation_Crypto
https://t.me/cryptodakuofficial
https://t.me/GainsANN

And many others, I usually see from their recommendations

[Farma]

little advice I can give for ICO

- see the concept of the project
- clarity of the team and its background
- partnership
- development to be carried out
- Make sure you cover the whitepaper
- do in-depth research on all the social media they have
- do research on their development.

after all, those are the suggestions I can give for now. It would be better if you are interested in ICO, because we can also see what market they will work with for their sales. the more popular the market they use, the more likely it is that the project will be successful.

[Shallow]

If you watched closely you will see that a lot is not heard of ICO nowadays, that is, you either see a project having IEO or the most recent now which is IDO (Initial Dex Offering), nothing is heard of ICO again that is to say, ICO has phased out. The question is why is the ICO phased out? The answer is that, during the ICO phase, many projects exited scam and many were abandoned, owing to the rising number of scam projects, IEO was proposed and because of how the concept is, many embraced it and abandoned ICO.
So my suggestion or opinion is for you to stop looking for information about ICO, because you will hardly find since it's obvious many projects has abandoned that method of fundraising, however try and read more about IDO and IEO. Lastly, irrespective of the IEO or IDO, try as much as possible to understand the idea the team offers, know more about the team and so on, this will help you go for the better projects.

i thought you are a pro investor already based on the time you got involved in investing which was in the year 2017 , if you fast forward that , that was now 4 years or unless you have stoped somehwere but then you are back again in this biz .

 if your lookin for an ico i think they are already extinct but they extinct for good so dont worry atleast you havent scammed by them but the brightside is there are better replacements . try ieo or some few defi .
