Is ICO the best way to invest in cryptocurrency?

[ningrum]

ICOs are no longer popular this year mate, currently the popular ones are IDO and IEO,
many new projects on Binance Smart Chain have an ROI of more than 100%, and purchases through pancaswap or DODO also make it easier for users to buy,
yup ICO will be old thing that won't be used anymore, it's too simple

[kidbounty]

ico is not the best way right now, because when you are unlucky you can lose. You can lose all your money if you invest in the wrong project. better invest in big coins like bitcoin, ethereum and other major coins. or you can join in defi projects and generate passive income.

[slashz9]

not really because not everyone will win at it, most will probably lose, but the good news will always be broadcast to add hype to it and the bad news will be hidden.and also not all ico,ieo,ido end well and you will always win, because someone might lose for 5 times and win 1 time in this case. but judging by the number of losses and profits, you can total your profit or loss, and vice versa.

I don't have any luck on coinlist platform, that has been a place for a new good project to raise funds, lucky are those who are able to participate. ICO is one way to raise funds, we have improved now and there's a lot of good options now. Many successful projects today are came from different platform when it comes to raising their funds so I think the success to raise funds depends on the services that you'll offer in the public, if its a good project expect many investors to come in.

I you wanna take the risk by selling your BTC to participate in the trusted ico and then you can take the risk but you must know you have been dealing with a high risk decision.
There's no way to make a lot of money from bitcoin if you are only a small holders. I just say this based on the fact if you can make only 1x - 2x ROI from bitcoin. This is also expecting bitcoin to break another ATH.
ICO is a bit different because it was a new project and you can multiply your money instantly. The decision is yours

That's right, some token sale lately I see can even be more than x50 from the initial price, but not all token sale can be successful as such, usually they follow in platofrm IDO, such as coinlist or polkastarter. Both platforms are highly recommended that there have been many successful projects there, only quite difficult to get a whitelist there.

as long as you are ready to accept the risk of investing in an ico such as an altcoin that ends up being a scam and has no value at all, then just do what you believe that the ico is worth investing in.
The greater the risk, the greater the profit that can be obtained.

I think IDO now is the next ICO just like in the beginning of 2017. The trend of IDO just started so could be good idea to participate in to it. We should be have better risk management for this high risk high return investment. I think, good idea to use only 5% of investment balance for IDO and then try to compounding it. I see IDO is much better than ICO because of the different total amount of target token sale. IDO has lower hardcap than ICO that make easy for the price of token raising.

Pancake and DODO are getting filled by a bunch of shitcoins. IEO is far better than IDO on that dex. ICO is still popular and some big projects with high popularity can get private funding from the various investors.
Some icos were able to do private sales easily and these icos can reach their hardcap in a few minutes of the sale.
The reality is so many people are still seeing ico as a dead crowfunding while the fact said the opposite thing. There are lots of companies that are still using icos to raise the funds from the investors.
ICO was dead is not 100% true statement.

[azhariejaya]

Maybe it's just a matter of the name. In essence, it's the same. cmiiw
In my opinion, it can't be said to be the best way to invest in cryptocurrency because not all ICO or presale or whatever they are called give many profits for investors. Still, if you want to try to participate, you should look for coins/tokens that the hype then tried your luck to participate in the whitelist because now it is not easy to join the ICO/Presale of a hype coin.

[dezoel]

This wasn't a topic to talk about ICO or anything else, this was once again another Shill topic and that is it. The real answer is there is no "right method" to invest into anything, it could be presale, it could be ICO it could be IEO it could be first seconds, it could be first day, it could be when it is a week old, it could be when the chart tells you to buy. Long story short it is obvious that we are living in a period where one news and it could skyrocket or it could drop significantly.

So long story short this topic isn't here to ask you a question, it doesn't care what you think about it at all, the only thing they wanted to do was to promote the coin/token they want to and nothing more, which many people unfortunately take too seriously and go take a look and some of the buy it as well, which in return causes these shills to keep going as well.

[semobo]

ICO,IEO,STO and etc are not the best way to invest in crypto currency and the reason is because the chances of a crypto project at present to succeed from scratch is almost zero, maybe very few project got hype with media influence and give profits in the short term but I don't see any project created with a long term vision.

[leatutz]

You must be a good researcher because I have all kinds of results. CASPER prices haven't fallen yet. It does not mean that ICO must be the best way to invest. Even SOME Binance IEO wasn't as successful as we thought. CASPER prices will crash below ICO price in two years. Some cases are really exceptional but most of the ICO aren't legit yet.

[mr.robot8]

even if the ico, ieo are often excellent earning opportunities, they are not all valid automatically, sometimes it also takes a bit of luck, intuition in investments, coinlist is a good platform to look for new investments but you have to be careful because also if the value of a token is relatively small during the ico it can happen that at the end all investors and bounty hunters sell then the price instead of going up goes down

[jajorforce]

Actually ICO is no longer like 2017-2018. Right now IDO is trending and i have seen a lot of IDO project launched in last few months and most of them raised bigger amount. Recently i just seen Student Coin raised over 50 million USD from Private Sale though i haven’t enough proof it’s true or not.

Those CEOs treated bounty hunters as beggers. Student coins distributed 1/3 ETH of bounty allocation. We should avoid this type of ICO or leave after the success projects. I don't understand why "Bounty detective" doesn't agree with the escrow service. At least cheaper projects (ICO) won't success. Can you provide some IDO lists to do my research?

[CryptoWarriorsssss]

Don't sacrifice your BTC just for this, it was not a good idea.
If you really wanted to take some risk on this project, please have a separate capital for this just to find out if you were able to gain on not. But for the current situation and since the prices of the altcoins are high, you can really make a good return.

I'm not going to say that ICO, IEO, or even Defi are the best way to invest in cryptocurrency but it also depends on the potentiality of the project and we know that many of these projects are worthless, you might get lucky if you'll find one legit and profiting.

You can't say so

as the ITO is the innovation on MASK

Investing in a coin with a high capitalization of risk is less. However, investing in ICOs sometimes brings more profit if the project is in demand. At the same time, most of these projects even turn out to be unprofitable for investors. Therefore, there can be no general advice here. We can take a risk and get a good profit, or we can lose our money. Therefore, here everyone should study and analyze before making an investment.

Yes, now there are many better options than ICOs so everyone doesn't need to consider ICOs anymore because there are IDOs, IEOs and ILOs, they are all substitutes for ICOs at this point and definitely better.

[TWW]

on some new projects that have cooperation with large companies, it will definitely not hurt to join their ICO. but learn from what happened in 2017-2018. we see a lot of scam projects with the ICOs they launched. it made the confidence of investors in new projects doubt and trust the top market assets which at that time were in very good condition for us to buy.

[paxmao]

There was a time in which ICOs were completely crazy and you could make huge profits with them, this included going ICO and selling the next day a twice the price and more. However there was a time in which many people got caught. Nowadays, ICOs are much weaker and is more difficult to grad the interest of the people, also bitcoin has produced decent results lately so it makes sense to keep a lot on it. ICO can be good if you really know the team and take your time to understand the real possibilities and wait for a couple of years. Believe it or not some of the 2018 ICOs are paying off now.
