Is ICO the best way to invest in cryptocurrency?

[laohe628]

ICO used to be the best way to invest in cryptocurrency, but time change, thing change, the days of ICOs are long gone.
I believe buy cheap jetton in the bearish season is the best way now. For example, buy BTC under $20,000 or ETH under $500.

Now there are a lot of ways through which you can invest in cryptocurrencies, it is possible through ICO, but do not forget how many scam projects are conducting ICOs, IDO has also recently become less popular and recently a lot of scam projects are conducting IDOs, so it is better to just invest in top projects and you will not fall for scammers, well, of course, everyone decides by himself how best to invest in cryptocurrencies, but always do not forget about the risks.

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.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with ICO projects that have large partners from several companies, but of most ICOs launched only one or two have good partners, while the rest are just scams, so everyone thinks that ICOs are no longer good for business followed now.

Yes, it is correct. ICO is just for a short term investment and the trend will change so we need to be careful to choose the right projects. But if we see what is happening in the crypto market, sometimes the ICO can scam us anytime. So maybe we can select bitcoin as the best investment for the short term and long term. If you really want to invest in ICO, I suggest not using too big money because we do not know if that ICO can give us profit or scam us. It is better to have bitcoin than to invest in ICO.

Its always a big gamble when joining an ICO, Always remember you are investing in promises and 99% of these promises don't come into fruition. only the 1% few are making it to top crypto projects in CMC.

Yes, and when a lot of changes are happening at the moment, it makes ICOs sink in the crypto space and what you said is the right thing to do, which is to buy at low prices and sell when prices are high.

[brooksby]

That completely depends on the terms and conditions of the ICO. If there are private secret investors who got special prices, I would never touch the ICO. The first thing you will see when that ICO goes to market/exchanges is a big fat red candle right into your face.

People who have been cheated on ICO and IDO projects will definitely not forget that painful thing because it was a very bad experience for him, so don't worry about it, but worry so that we don't get caught up in scam projects.

not really, I think whether an ICO is good or not depends on the project. however, think again before selling the assets you own. If a project you really feel will grow, then take that decision. however, the coin you're referring to, went up so fast because the project development really attracted investors. that's what made the price go up so high.

There are still some ICO that worth to invest especially if you found them very unique and have good foundation. Some projects do ICO in order for them to get funds to continue or make their product. Developing their websites, social media ads and many more. It’s more in developing stage. I think it’s not the best way to invest in crypto, there are still huge percentage that they project might down easily due to many people get early exit after they released in the market. Investing in present tokens that have great foundation in the market is the best thing to do rather than investing thru ICO.

[adzino]

No, it is not the best way to invest in crypto currencies. The only best way to invest is through investing your hard earned money on coins that have been in the market for very long, trusted by the people, active development and community. Coins that are very well established. Investing in ICO is very risky. Look at the past years. Most of the ICOs didn't end well. You either get scammed or lose everything. You may make some fast profit, but you have to be very lucky. So its up to you. Are you willing to take high risks?

[Alohadanc3]

For me yeah ieos/idos are a good investment but it's also depends on where you put your money. Not all new projects give very big profit. Some of them give good return but how most of the projects show their roi is not true. And now a days investing in good idos are very very hard to get in. But if you get the chance grap itm but first do some research about the project. And one more thing invest all your money in idos or ieos are not a good idea. Now it's upto You.

[pedrillo0]

ICO is the beginning of many ways of investing, now it is better IEO or IDO in case you do not want to do many procedures.
If the project has good use in real life then it will be successful, no matter if it was ICOs, IEOs, IDOs.
Investors and developments will arrive, the currency will rise in price and will be successful. If it is the opposite then it will be one more junk coin...

[Darktongue]

OP mentioned the ICO, but here I saw IEO was finished. OP thinks ICO is the best when IEO is successfully finished. We have enough experience to invest in ICO but we can't help others when others don't have time to research. A good exchange makes these things easy by providing IEO. A bad exchange IEO is better than a bad ICO. Maybe in the last quarter ICO could be a good investment.

[TomArayaSlaya]

Early stage tokensale these days can easily make you 10 or 20X so yeah coinlist is really hot trend now only problem is the queue that you will have to follow So get ready for that if you decide to use coinlist Also most allocations these days are like 100 bucks

[Rengga Jati]

Although they are likely the same as one of the fundraising methods, I don't think that ICO is a good method for right now.
IEOmaybe better, as long as the token or coin is listed or doing IEO in the reputable exchanges. It may be quite difficult to do IEO in the top exchanges at first. However at least, the exchange has a good reputation, high volume and cap, and also it is trusted.

However, before deciding to buy the token or coin in IEOor another fundraising, we must also analyze the project itself, including all elements that ensure that the project is legit, not a scam or even shitcoin tobe

That is very right. Aside from checking which exchange is the project holding their IEO, one should scrutinize the project regarding their capability to deliver their objectives. But if they are holding IEO in top exchanges, at least you know, they have passed some strict requirements. But don't get too complacent with the exchange itself, as has been suggested, you still need to do your own assessment towards the project.

[Bitcoinjheta]

ICO is the best way to invest in cryptocurrency during the time when crowdfunding are still using to start a new cryptocurrency asset. But time passed and have to upgrade in other method many Initial procedures were existing and that Initial Exchange offering and Initial DEX offiring which are working effective method.

I think investing in ico isn't good anymore and it's too risky. There's a lot of good coins and already has working product (Top coins on CMC), so i personally dont want to put my money in ICO especially many of it just base on hype and there have been many examples of scam ico.

[distr@yopmail.com]

I think investing in ico isn't good anymore and it's too risky.

people who wanna get a lot of profit must take the risk. Im sure about that. Remember when they have bought the tokens that already traded in the market they can earn profit from there but it will be very less compared with when they can try to join in the legit ico. that will give them all another chance to buy the legit coin at the bottom price.
There are lots of projects are still launching their ico and so many people are still in demand to take the risk by investing on it. The investors known so well about what they have done.

some ICOs have given us experience in the past. many with the risk of scams as well as many who have succeeded and developed in the crypto market to date.
investors must make their own choices to choose the ICO project that is really qualified for them. and of course, they already know the risks.

[calandra78]

for 2017 maybe the ICO is still very good for investment or entering at the beginning of the presale price which is very cheap, but you must know that this year the ICO is not very attractive and cannot guarantee profit because now is the era of IEO or IDO.

even IEO is not very popular for now. IDO may be more eyed for investors as something newer.
but for me, IEO being a solution that is actually still very good to run. unfortunately, not many of the good new projects can use a good exchange for their projects.

I believe that trading is preferable to investing in an ICO. ICOs are no longer a smart idea; there are many businesses out there nowadays that aren't worth investing in. Many of the schemes are bogus, and the others will fail. This type of investment will only harm you.Being a trader is, in my opinion, preferable to investing in an initial coin offering (ICO). ICOs are no longer a good thing; there are many enterprises being launched today that aren't worth investing in. Many ventures are fraudulent, and the remainder will fail. This type of investment is only going to harm you.
