According to recent recearch, 56% of 2017 ICOs fail. And you know what? That's OK. 90% of startups fail but the rest grow so high that they compensate venture investors 90% loss and provide very high profits.

So the basic rules with ICOs are very simple:
1. Do the research before you invest
2. Diversify, diversify, diversify
3. Ignore news and HODL

i agree with your opinoin, when a half ICOs fail, and very difficult to find good ico we must know about team, idea project, whitepapers, road map, and popularity, and im not agree when we must ignore news, that is critical, information we must update information to know every opportunities

56% is kinda high though, at the end ICOs are the same as startups and they will share same risks

I can say 90% of ICO also will fail it's just a matter of time frame

It is not okay because the money that they use are came from investors compared to the start up in a business where they spent their own money. ICO start up that became scam left the investor and run with their money while the start up that you talking about was failed because of bankruptcy or due to not enough budget or money.

I agree. For most parts, that's also how I see the ICO market. As an ICO joiner myself, through joining different campaigns, I feel how hard it is to choose those projects that has more fighting chance compared to other ones that are somewhat destined to fail. Since so many projects are coming out seemingly everyday, you really need to study where you would join because that would mean that you have to give your commitment to it for months at a time before you can see the light at the end of the title, which is usually dim at best. So, you really need to study where you put your money and time so that it won't be a waste.

Because basically all the business and everyday activities that we do each there is the risk. I strongly agree with the 3rd point, If you have participated in the ICO do not listen to FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) that are in circulation.

Just look at the icostats.com website and you'll see how ICO's are doing:

https://icostats.com/vs-btc

A lot of coins have very weak volume, so these stats can be misleading. Needless to say, some people got very rich from some of the ICO's, which is what keeps the ICO game alive... people dream with these ROI's coming back with the next ICO that will make their BTC x1000... the scams will continue to happen since it only takes 1 successful ICO to get a bunch of delusional people on board buying anything under the mill.

Yeah, that's really true. I agree with you. I think it is best to invest in 7-9 ico, because thus risks become even less.

Yeah, you have to do it.
Even when people buy the share in oil companies - they always buy from the several companies.
Because no one knows what will happen after few month.

Yeah I believe that is okay, we got too much ICO that come out every day and some ICO without good marketing team and good features will failed, and yes before you invest in ICO, reading whitepaper is the most essential part, and if you want to make profit with ICO then you need to be patience because almost all of ICO coin got a rough start and the coin will slowly increasing

I agree but not entirely. As long the project is not alive, the price will fluctuate or the project fail. So make sure when you are investing to not take too much risk.

In the future i think the Fake ICO will still growing up, and thats mean that we need to take carefully when choose an ICO. Because we want to make profit in there, not just get losing our money.

More research, more filtering is very important tp avoid of scammer

truly your right, i think failing of ico's is connecting to the bitcoin price fall down because the tokens or coins are affected during bitcoin price is dump in the market, reseach before to invest is normal to the investor's to learn the legalities of the project, i think just for now the problem or the trouble are gonna fix it later. still hold and your investment do not panic.

And every day the number of scam projects is growing. Investors must analyze all, starting from team profiles and white paper, ending with real company registrations according to the laws.

Scammers understand that they have little time left to do this with impunity.

yes, this is quite true, a lot of ICOs are failure or scam, that's why before we join an ICO we should do a research first, check the website,whitepaper,the developer,and the project itself.

I agree with you, but I would like to point out some things.

The reason of the last year ICO hype and amazing gains it's called Ethereum.

From January to April 2017 Ethereum floated from 10$ to 40$. Now imagine an investor depositing 100 eth in some ICO worth 1000$. You have already understood the point, right? Let's suppose the token invested in went live in exchanges in November when eth was 450$, just for the change in the contribution value you made a x45 gain.

Not to mention the ICOs that have cashed a lot of eth when it was worth 10$-20$ Wink

As you said most of the startups fail. That's how the investors get good return form the successful projects with takind risks.
And that's how we're learning project by project.

You definitely shouldn't ignore the news. But it must be trusted sources. It's even better to make good acquaintances with competent traders and investors who will give you some great advices.

In my experience, if in addition to a detailed analysis, there is an existing startup product , or at least a demo version, this significantly increases the chances of ICO success.

If you are an experienced person, please give us more detailed instructions. How do we choose a good ICO project, which will help people have a better overview and experience to choose a good ICO project for themselves. Portfolio diversification helps us minimize risk, do not put eggs in the same basket. Your comments are great.

I am not an expert but I will help OP to answer your question, based on my experience.
1. Most of successful ICOs that I know are project which provide passive income for their investors.
2. Project team that open about their identity like ICO of Docademic.and the team members should be more than 5 people.
3. Atleast there should be an already made product.

At least 44% ICO are successful (based on OP's data) it will bring positive impact to bitcoin as well.

The cryptocurrency market is having too many ICO projects formed daily so most of them are ineffective or scam. It is not easy to search and research for a good ICO project. You can study more about the project EFFECT.AI, this is a very good project in the field of artificial intelligence, with very professional management team and community support, open sale program ICO will start this Saturday. Learn more about it and make your own decision, that's my advice.
