Is ICO the best way to invest in cryptocurrency?

[Luffygroove]

according to your question "Is the ICO is the best way to invest in cryptocurrency?" probably if you asking back in 2017 I would answer yes. But now, in 2021 we have a larger option than only ICO or whatever sale is called. I mean, the crypto sphere now has DeFi with various investment options. You can do staking, you can do farming, you can lend, and many more. ICO is a good choice too, but try to expand your vision and try another option too.

Be it ICO, IEO, IDO, ILO, or ITO - all fall under one category, which is ‘Fundraising.’ You can invest in any of the aforementioned offerings, and each is best in its own way. The only thing you have to consider is the credibility of the project you are investing in.

Currently, ICO is outdated and most new projects today do not use this method to attract capital. 
We lived in 2021 not 2017, and now there are many new and profitable forms like IEO, IDO.

It is if the project has good potential and the platform is something that will have an impact on the community, then it's good to buy in their ICO stage, ICO is not safe anymore because it's not regulated and the developer can run away with investor's fund, it's been proven so many times in the past and investors do not trust in this kind of crowdfunding they prefer IEO or ITO but never ICO, so do your diligence if you are going to invest in ICO.

So it depends on whether a good institution in when investing.

Yes, there are too many scam projects for ICO, we need to choose the right one.

When I first learned about ICO opportunities, and this was in 2017, I was pleasantly surprised how easy and simple it is to raise funds to launch your project or product. I remember how then many projects were able to raise unrealistically large amounts of money and then it seemed like a great opportunity. Now it is no longer so good and profitable, since the market has grown and there are many competitors on the market, while other systems have emerged as an alternative to ICO, for example IEO. Of course, ICO still enjoys little success, but unfortunately not the same as it was at the very beginning.

Should I sell BTC to invest it?

No.

You don't sell your bitcoin to invest into an ICO. If you want to invest into an ICO, use a part of your savings (not in btc) so that you keep both of them. Because if you really think that it's a good project.

You don't have to sacrifice your bitcoin for it. That's my opinion and that's what I'm going to do. I'll keep my bitcoin and will use cash to invest on any project/ICO. But isn't it that ICOs are almost forgotten these days?

When I sold BTC to participate in the ITO of Shirld DAO, I realized that it can only invest up to 1000USDT

ito ? is this the latest ?
 but this could be better than ico . the only disadvantage of them is that you cant invest higher amounts but isnt it great ?
 because they are controlling the risk and you can only loose small if ever the project didnt go well but profit would still be better if they became a success because you started at the begining and more people will invest eventually .

In any case, you should not make a mistake with the choice of a coin for investment. But as practice shows, any IEO and IDO, which is held at the stage of public sale of tokens on Binance, Polkastarter or Daomaker, gives a guaranteed profit to participants. But not everything is so simple, to get this profit, you need to win a lottery to get coins.

[RockCryptoWorld]

ICO? NO
IDO? YES
Deedy.Digital - DOUBLE YES

Because they are going to launch their an NFT platform very very soon
It is not ads and not financial advice, but still recommend you to google this project

[Ticketly.me]

I wouldn't agree with above.

Projects in both ICO / IDO phases can be scams, but also be very profitable and outstanding project.

I believie ICO is very good way to invest, but only after analysing the project, DYOR, and asking questions. I would advise never to ape into project without more than basic knowledge regarding project and team.

everything is just like playing luck too if you have to hope to win the lottery too.
but either way an IEO on binance or a publicly listed asset on binance is sure to create hype. although after we will see how the price will return and see how the interest from the developer community is.

[Cryptomiles1]

None of them is more preferable, i won't even think of investing on any upcoming project because that is another good way to deceive  you and have your cool BTC, ETH, USDT and the rest potential currencies under your custody.
what i does, i only invest on a project already listed on CMC with a high liquidity, just forget about any hype project and manage your funds very well instead i would advised you to investment on BTC and ETH as another great move is coming soon!

[RockCryptoWorld]

Can't agree with you. ICO makes no sense today. I suggest you to take a look at Deedy Digital, they will have an IDO and NFT platform soon where you can trade, sell, buy, rent NFTs, enter lotteries etc.

Deedy was unpopular. It doesn't have lots people on its community. I know this one and what you are saying was totally non sense thing. So many icos were getting launched on the launch pad and it creates very big ROI to the participant https://cryptorank.io/ieo-platforms-roi

You can check it by yourself. you can also try to check ROI through icodrop as well.

[Insomnia family]

I don't care if it's ICO, IEO or even DEFI. for me as long as the project has a great chance of surviving in the crypto market, especially having real use cases, then it is not a problem to invest in it. but don't forget to research again as a whole. I hope you're lucky.

no one forbids you to invest anywhere, it's your money...

but you don't carelessly put your money, it's a pity if you lose a lot of money because of the wrong investment. selling Bitcoins you have to invest in these coins I don't think is a wise thing, think again carefully.

[Hannahanto]

ICO, IEO, IDO I can't rate any as the best way to invest in cryptocurrency but I'll say if you get the right ICO and participate it will definitely double what you bought aside that some ICO are just fake and scams
After ICO you'll get a news like Admin ran with the money or a big holder in the company. Before you invest you just need to trust and make research on the project before investing

[BigRasputin]

It certainly is. If ICOs really provide a solution to an existing problem, they will definitely bring high returns in the future. In my opinion, it makes much more sense than daily trades because you don't have to follow a coin every day that you research and study and find reasonable.

Agreed, so many icos have been proven that if these can become reliable projects and more than 80% coins in the top 100 CMC were coming from the icos. people were abandoning this but they didn't know how potential the ico right now.
Binance, ethereum, DOT and almost all of the smartcontract tokens were coming from the icos. It seems like that people started to forget about that while icos were still creating more and more new legit project.
Legit icos can be used as a long term hodl like binance.
