Yes, I too hold this opinion. Today, there are many fraudulent and failed projects, there are really few new promising projects.

Yes, always do your own research because it could really save your time and your money through avoiding getting scammed. It's better to spend more time studying so you'll really know what's behind the project and their working product.

When we want to participate in a project, should not be done in a hurry, need some information that makes us believe that the project is really legit. I do not have the characteristics of an ICO it's not a scam, DYOR, maybe it's a way to keep us safe.

Yes, now it is very risky to invest in ICO.  I advise before investing to check all information about the company.

As for me, in 2018, too many people have learned that it is possible to earn money by deceiving people at ICO. Perhaps even many have arranged advertisements on YouTube, to attract people to this forum to participate in the bounty. Many people - a lot of SCAM. The advertisement is engine of the trade

in recent years, more and more Scam, because everything remains unpunished. And ICO began to spend a very long time from 3 months to one or more years. Thus, people who have invested money should wait a year, and how much can happen this year, bitcoin can cost 1K dollars and less. Now it is not very profitable to invest.

I think about 90-95% of scams and there are more and more of them. But there are also good projects that can grow into really large companies.

Most of the ICO appear to be scam, and a mechanism should be issued to check ICO for quality and non-fraud ICO. ICO that do not get enough target need to continue announce time to raise funds and pay for bounty campaign.
Again. Any control system is a corrupt cell. Therefore, this system should either be automatic and built on the blockchain system. Either should be established a system of voting.

How many legal ICOs, this is basically a fraud for me, I am a hype, they are very troubled by the cryptocurrency market, disrupting the cryptocurrency market, maybe only 10% of ICO is safe, so if You don't have a lot of trading experience market experience, I suggest you not take this risk

Saw this study on twitter... https://twitter.com/Zeex_me/status/978981735101878272

I've seen a lot of people asking about how many legit ICOs there are, so I thought I'd share

Quote from the article: "The study begins by breaking down ICOs into 6 groups: Scam, Failed, Gone Dead, Dwindling, Promising, Successful. “On the basis of the above classification,” they wrote, “we found that approximately 81% of ICO’s were Scams, ~6% Failed, ~5% had Gone Dead, and ~8% went on to trade on a exchange.”

"Scams were defined by researchers as “Any project that expressed availability of [an] ICO investment (through a website publishing, ANN thread, or social media posting with a contribution address), did not have/had no intention of fulfilling project development duties with the funds, and/or was deemed by the community (message boards, website or other online information) to be a scam.”


DYOR people ...
crypto world is full of that kind of stuff, i'd say it' soo easy to cheat for them as they are quite convincing with their information and sites and promises

There are fewer and fewer real Iso projects now. Everything is more fraud. It is a pity, but many suffered.
not at all icos is scam, ico scam and fail is different, when ico fail you still get the tokens just the price is very less/ shit tokens, but scam you never get the tokens, so you have to be careful when choosing ico project before invest

I think for those people who follow the projects this figure should not cause much surprise, you can often hear 99% and here is a very truthful figure. Only those who lead the data forget that this is the primary attraction of money, and the analysis should not be for the first half of the year but for the first 2 years.
a lot of projects where I participated was a bench, now even better select projects

I think most ICOs are dangerous. Only somewhat more hazard. All undertakings don't generally serve life, are thoughts for the future so can't evade disappointment. Numerous ventures with the aim of trick from the earliest starting point are unavoidable to less proficient financial specialists. In this way, it is important to develop learning before contributing.

it is not fair if ICO is generalized as a dangerous thing and it's all SCAM, I do not agree. there are still many successful and able ICOs registered in various exchanges.
there are several ways to choose a good ico, and all the information is here.
so, stop saying bad, be wiser and always provide solutions for others this is another way to develop crypto to grow trust.
