Topic: 5 Things to know about ICOs before you invest in them (Read 464 times)
You can invest in IEOs on platforms like binance and ecxx, these exchanges vet IEOs before listing.
The last but not least, it should be noted that ICO has declined in popularity, and we must know that IEO is more effective in attracting investor interest at this time. So if the project is not strong enough, too general, and does not have a unique niche it will be very difficult to form market confidence. This is exacerbated by the state of the market is saturated so that investors are more careful in using their funds, and prefer to invest in a safe way, namely by joining IEO held in a trusted exchange.
Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) acquired high popularity during 2017 and 2018. While multiple ICOs collectively raised nearly $7 billion in 2017 alone, the total funds raised by ICOs in 2018 was double of that amount.
In short, what we are trying to say is that ICOs are now quite popular among investors as a promising and high-profit investment tool.
But there is still a big red flag of trust that makes potential investors worried about ICOs. Since ICOs and cryptocurrencies are still unregulated or unaccepted by many governments, relying on them as an investment option is not something every investor is comfortable with.
Are you also planning to invest in the ICOs this year? Here are the five things you should know before investing in an Initial Coin Offering.
1. ICOs are not Exclusive
First thing you must know about ICOs is that they are not exclusive to any particular company, team, investor group or audience. Anyone and everyone can use the ICO method for raising funds for their new company, project or product. The only prerequisite to conducting an ICO sale is that you must have a team who knows how to create and launch a token.
2. Tokens have different types
Token is the general term used for referring the cryptocurrencies launched and sold by companies during an ICO sale. If you are thinking of investing in an ICO, you must be aware of the different types of tokens and their significance. Utility tokens are the most common types of currencies used by ICOs, as they give access to a particular utility in the company/project. Other types of token include security tokens, asset-backed tokens, native tokens, etc.
3. ICOs are prone to fraud/spam
While ICOs are backed by blockchain project, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the particular ICO will be safe and free of any kind of spam. In fact, a large number of the total token sales being held today are a fraud. The good thing is that there exist red flags which you can consider to identify a bad ICO. These include lack of publicity, an unprofessional website, team not disclosed, poor quality whitepaper, etc.
4. ICOs are still struggling with regulation
Like I said before, not every country and government is positive when it comes to investing in the ICOs. So, you should consider that as well before you plan to invest in one.
5. There are good ICOs out there
From my own personal experience in the industry, what I’ve realized is that there are also many good ICOs who are actually trying to do something genuine, finding a solution to a real problem and creating profits for the investors. However, finding them out of the jumble of bad ICOs is something that requires patience and a lot of research.
Pieta is one such ICO. Pieta is a cryptocurrency based on ERC20 standard of Ethereum. The Pieta coin is the native coin of the Pieta ecosystem, which is a mining platform being developed to be powered by solar energy. You can find out more about Pieta at https://pieta.network
Not good time for investing with Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) right now because we have see many ICOs failed with lower price after listing on exchange market, many investor have left with ICOs investment project and give bad thing for investing, maybe looking other way for investing in IEO or new altcoin listed with big exchange market and keep get much profit. In short, what we are trying to say is that ICOs are now quite popular among investors as a promising and high-profit investment tool.
But there is still a big red flag of trust that makes potential investors worried about ICOs. Since ICOs and cryptocurrencies are still unregulated or unaccepted by many governments, relying on them as an investment option is not something every investor is comfortable with.

Indeed, at present, investor interest has significantly decreased due to the fraudulent activities of many projects, but I do not think that ICOs will cease to exist at all. You can already find worthy projects, but there are very few of them, and before taking part in investing, the project must be thoroughly researched and studied. These are good 5 tips that the author offers and they really need to be followed .
I am afraid about the regulations, many ICOs now work only because goverments are not interested in regulating them, but what will happen after they come with regulations? Many projects will be banned due to violations of regulations, like many people were afraid that Ethereum become security.
indeed investing in ico will provide a sizable profit for investors, but with a note if the ico project is developing quite rapidly and has a high token value in the market, and the important thing is that not ico fraud , but indeed now it is very difficult for us to get ico projects that are really worthy for us to follow , because now there are many project developers who make ico fraud as a way to get profits and take money from investors.
in every investment it would also be better if investing in projects that have potential and project growth well, because it will benefit investors. so if the investment goes well, then the investor will benefit, so the investor must be able to find the right project to invest -Snip-
Your intention to make this thread is this https://pieta.network right? So, just wondering what is the difference between the project that you are promoting with the ICO project in general?
You’re trying to convince everyone to trust ICOs by giving such explanation.
But what you say above are theory.
We know that we have to do a selection for an investment on ICO. But the question is, how to do it?
Even the well prepared ICO, led to fraudent.
So how to select good ICO’s among these ICOs.

My first question is, are people still investing in ICO projects? Because I as a person say, believe they are dead and nothing will resurrect them again. By the way, your points are correct and appropriate wished it was during the ICO boom might have saved a lot of people. Nevertheless, I don't think any ICO project is worth it, ever again, as the risks involved is a huge one and of a truth not worth taking. I have counted my losses and moved on, have no business with them again.
Why are you so adamant?ICO may have reduced the attractiveness,but still there are promising projects.The main thing is to search and explore.Yes, I understand that a large number of ICO have upset investors, but in the long run there are really really needed projects that solve real problems of people. And such projects still attract investors despite the way to raise funds!

Scams created bad impressions about ICO'S, But i believe that once the ecosystem is regulated the ecosystem will boost its morale again. We really feel bad if most investors fall to different crypto scams because it can slow adoption and people will begin to distance from this industry.
In fact investors are starting to distance in ICO campaigns due to the widespread scam today. And it's because of the scammers who ruined the ico name today, And you're right regulation will restore trust but who will enforce it?but in IEO we can choose and know who is a really serious and good project, the Harmony example that was held in Binance was a huge success,
now ONE already in Binance to be traded
ICO's mainly popular only since 2017 and which time almost 95% projects was big success. But in 2018 ICO's was less popular because when came IEO's is a big trend for investors because it's a guaranteed exchanges. In the IEO's era i don't think ICO's will be strongly return.

I have my list of 5 things to know before you invest in them
1) Don't invest at an early stage if you don't know to code or analysing the project's potential.
2) Make sure they have enough money to advertise.
3) They should have some bounties paid in bitcoins as well.
4) The team should be easily available on other social media networks accept telegram.
5) Don't invest in ICO's they're a scam.

The truth is nobody is interested in ico's anymore, the bad ones killed it for the few good ones, any project hosting an ico will not have investors because too many of them have turn into scam,
i don't know why it is very hard to see a project do self funding without ieo/ico! if we have so many self funding project the rate of scam project will reduce because it will be hard to ruin a project you invested your personal money to develop, and this idea will give investor confidence to invest on such project.
The number of new projects turned into scams makes investors hesitant to invest in new projects and if the project does not do ico and they have their own funding to develop their projects I think it can reduce the existence of new projects that become a scam, but if the project new have their own funding so they do not need to do ico and I think this is not possible because the existence of ico is to get funding from investors in order to develop the project.i don't know why it is very hard to see a project do self funding without ieo/ico! if we have so many self funding project the rate of scam project will reduce because it will be hard to ruin a project you invested your personal money to develop, and this idea will give investor confidence to invest on such project.
ICOs are prone to fraud and scam, but then you went ahead to tell us to invest in Pieta ICO. 
That is very confusing to me and other fellow investors out there. Try something better than ICO or even IEO. Check out my signature for more information.
You should understand that the OP is providing solution to investors in other to build trust while he also send them to grave through the trust he might have gain from them. However, i think the community need to know ICOs are mostly used by crypto scammer and IEOs are now the best option. That is very confusing to me and other fellow investors out there. Try something better than ICO or even IEO. Check out my signature for more information.

Thanks for pointing these out, but on a more serious note, I think the era of ICOs are gone and forgotten, they served their purpose wherein only few projects were legit and a greater number scams thus paving way for IEOs. The fact is, ICOs aren't worth it again as no one is willing to risk their funds in the hands of any team; even if there is an upcoming ICO which looks good, the chances of succeeding is slim because investors are now wise.

Anyone and everyone can use the ICO method for raising funds for their new company, project or product. The only prerequisite to conducting an ICO sale is that you must have a team who knows how to create and launch a token.
The prospect of the current ICO project is likely to still be advanced and successful. The OP said the ICO could still be a profitable investment, but in reality out of 100 projects only 1-10 were legal or real. investment in ICO for now cannot be ascertained, in fact I say other than capital, analysis or research. You must pray and be lucky.
Even the IEO project as a revision of the ICO can also be said only delusional for crypto-world, there are many manipulations and not transparent. can be said as a professional con artist.
