How to find ICOs worth investing?

[DonFacundo]

I don't think if there is a project that launch ICO, it was very trendy in the past but too bad many of them were scams, the ICO is ruined.. Most the new projects prefer IEO or IDO nowadays, but finding a good project is really difficult, you better do your own research, scam projects will never end.

Hello! Is it still worth to invest into ICOs? If so, how do I find the good ones? Any recommendations here ?

there are no more ICO for now but there are IDO and IEO, where they directly sell tokens in the market and I think they are more effective than ICO that have a lot of fraud,

Do not believe, there is an ICO that has turned out to be very good, I worked in social networks for that project and it is very well supported, in fact one of the most famous managers was in charge of the project, his name is Beyond Protocol, which is a really serious project and I see a great future for it, in fact the people in charge have great professionalism.

So not all is lost for ICOs, in fact the conditions for ICOs are very big and they have to be met, this has prevented it from leading to scams, so all is not lost.

Is there a fundamental difference between ICO with IEO and IDO at this time ? because from what I see now there are also projects that implement IEO and IDO into a scam in the end so that benchmark is not the only thing that has to be looked at now but great support from some good parties.

I suggest going with IDO (Initial Dex Offering) there are already a lot of them right now, especially on different chains.

I can give you some examples, try the Solana network, Raydium is one of the best examples for Initial Dex Offering, there are some projects already made successful IDO there where you only need funds and sometimes whitelisting for their sale.

I find more IDO is much better or safe compare to ICO.

I think ICO is now outdated, we use IDO whitelist for public sale. Usually IDO is carried out on a trusted platform such as an exchange or incubator, and immediately explodes when the IDO is finished.

[Ngewex Yuk]

According to the advice and the fact that more than 90% of ICOs are scams so projects that rely on ICOs will fail to achieve softcap, investors are tired of ICOs which often end up losing money because when they are present in the market the value drops, IDO and IEO are certainly safer because investors can know the performance of the project.

They are and the common today aside from IDO is IEO. There's still vast projects that are choosing to launch themselves through exchanges where they've been supported and going to be listed after their sale. There's still an enormous support from the investors that they're investing with those projects that seems to being liked by their users. Finding a worthy ICO will take you time although they're outdated and there's still some, you should just spend your time better with the commons today.

Worth to invest? There's no assurance.

the site provided can be a good start in doing research. Then it's just how you respond to it. other than that, don't be fooled by the scores such sites give. better find out for yourself about the progress of the project. usually I just use the site as my information base for an ICO. You can know social media, the people who are in it, telegram, discord, and other information you can find there. however, for the development of the project itself, you need to look deeper than telegram, social media, discord, and also their AMA program.

it's very difficult to choose a really decent ico at this time a few years ago ico projects were very good and very profitable for many people nowadays many ico projects are scams but not all of them there are still decent ico projects just that we need to be more careful in selecting it.

We had good ICO's here, but we had many ICO scams as well! I am guessing that today it's the same ratio as before, on every good project there are at least 10 scams! Choosing that one promising is really hard, that can bring high profit with very low investments! What I saw some people are doing is dividing their capital and they chase that good project with more investments! They don't complain about the profit, going all-in in just one project can end in disaster, choosing more of them gives you more chances to hit some good project that can make some insane rise!

So, what they are doing is like gambling. That is how gambling works too, the more you bet the more the chances of winning. Why cant they invest instead on safer projects? To establish one's and not on the new ICOs. They are already sure on them that it can give them some profit especially if they learn to hold longer. ICO's are nearly dead now.

I think there is only 1 percent of them exist and the chance for it to fail is still high because many investors are now investing on the newer version of funding (i.e ipo, ido, ieo and others that i forget the term already). One thing that makes them secure is that they are held inside an exchange and you can chose a top exchange for a better quality project.

IDO's are great if you are looking for something in the defi or meta world, but the new coins and their releases are still in the ICO world right now. I would suggest IDO as well if you are looking for a quick return, but if you are looking for a return that would be 1000x in 4 years type of long term approach then finding coins instead of tokens to invest is still better.

I do both, I mean both quick returns and long term investments are great, you do not have to limit yourself just to one of them, and this means I end up with some good profits in the short and the long term. I do end up losing money on most tries but the ones that earn me profit usually cover the difference and then some.

It's hard to find a good ICO like 2016-2017, at that time ICOs were very easy to reach a hard cap even with a value of $200 million

Yes. Nowadays, it is rather difficult to get good ICOs. Many of the ICO projects just want to earn money quickly. They pay some sites to improve the popularity of their projects, so investors are interested to buy their tokens. Sadly, after they got money, the project will grow slowly. Even, the team members of the project leave the project suddenly.

unfortunately it was used by scammers so investors didn't believe it again with ICOs.

It is true. Scammers know if many people want to try their luck in ICOs. So, ICOs were trending and quite popular. Scammers take advantage of this situation, they plan ways to trap people. Of course, scammers can take people's money because there are too many people buying new tokens without deep analysis.

it's not worth anymore. I think that you can stick to the another kind of fundraising like IEO and IDO. People in here have been suggesting about that and joining in ICO is not worth anymore and you must also remember that if you are in the bearish market. That being said that when you must be careful with any investment opportunity as sometime this can be a boomerang for you. Why don't you wait until the market will be bullish again? I meant as you can see that if the bearish market will be also affecting the crypto fundraising platforms as well.

[MCVXYZ]

I don't think if it is still worth investing in ICO projects because 99% of them are scam and many investors are not investing anymore in ICOs, they prefer IEO and IDO but still you have to be careful when choosing a new project to invest because there are still scam projects even in IEO and IDO.

Right but if you are attending some meetings and conferences in crypto sphere you may know how to find good ICOs, despite the fact that 99% of ICOs are scam. First of all you must look at the team behind the project and then their backed money, roadmap, aims, financial abilities and etc.

Right, even though IDO & IEO also both aren’t 100% guaranteed  way to profit by investment, In that case i would like to recommend to invest on top tier Exchanges launchpad projects those can be around 10x-20x profitable most of the time. There're so many lower exchanges run shit/scam projects IEO just because of they got paid by team.

The big name launchpads usually do increase a lot for the short period but you should not always stick long term in case they drop very sharply as well. At the end of the day, the hype from the launchpad wears off and you end up with just a simple token. If the project doesn't do anything to entice people then we will just be holding a bag.

So, if your only aim is to profit, you are not investing because you like the project, then you have to just simply sell it and get out as soon as you see enough profit. I am not saying that you should find other methods, if you like this then do it but if your only aim is to profit then you should be a lot more careful about it then long term investors.

Though late reply, but just do not fund. If you do not want to gamble with your fund then don't look for ICO investment projects. All are just useless and scammers. Everyone here just eats our money. No real concept nor real development. They just raised funds and skip or rug pull. Don't believe in any brand new project. Better just choose a few reputable and top coins from the market and invest in the dip. So you wouldn't lose your 100% portfolio.

When deciding to invest in a particular project, it is necessary to see which investors invested in it at the seed round stage. And if we do not see well-known companies among them, it is better to refrain from investing. It is possible that you will not receive a profit in this case, but the main thing is that you will not lose your money.

Forget about icos, scammers abused the the ico model so thoroughly that no one in his right mind is going to invest in a coin that follows that model anymore, the community was noble and they were willing to invest money in those projects in order to speed up the development of this market.

However scammers took advantage of their good will and stole a great deal of all the money ever invested in icos, the community learned their lesson and as such the skepticism surrounding icos is incredibly high.

Most of the ICOs today are dead, knowing most of them turned out scams in the end. Although there are some pretty good left, but you can't rely from it anymore for decent amount of income. So never take the risk if you know you can't get rewarded in the end. However, invest more on those old and established coins, because most of them are still giving good profits. And definitely stay away from memes and shitcoins as they bring unreliable profits at all.

 Honestly finding the launchpads is more important than finding the projects, I agree with that. I mean places like BSCPads, Gamefi, seedify and so forth are all getting super high returns. Even places like kommunitas which is not as big as the other ones, is still getting a lot of people investing and selling out on the projects IDO, which is proof enough that there are people who couldn't get it and wants to get it. This results with the project going x10 on the first day most of the time, then either stay there for a while and then drop, or directly start dropping without waiting too much. This is why I usually end up buying from IDO if I can, then selling on the first day as soon as it makes x2 and get out. Its basically a secure way and I rarely end up losing and even if I do, the previous/next one makes me enough money to recover that.
