Topic: How much do you invest in an ICO? - page 8. (Read 2472 times)
The amount i invest into ICO is not always fixed. What i do most times is that, if i have any money to invest into ICOs of invest, i always divide the investments among the ICOs. I do not put my egg in one basket. For instance, if i have $200 with me, i would divide into 4 different parts and invest into 4 ICOs.
I consider myself an average investor, and I invest in almost always within 700-1000 $. It seems to me that this is exactly the amount from which you can make good money, and losing it is not so terrible as correspondingly larger amounts.
I participated in 4 ICOs since January until now. The total amount I have invested is 5 ETH and 0.6 BTC.
Only one ICO is giving me a profit x3. The remaining three projects have not yet been transacted, but are still well-developed.
ICO investment is like a flag you, the win must rely heavily on personal experience and your own judgment. And, in theory, you can invest all your free time in many different ICOs.
ICO for good profit!

I think an average investor will put 1000$. In my case, I have not experienced investing in an ICO. But if I were to invest considering that I really trust the project and the team. Then I will put 1000-5000$ worth of investment. 
I only invest money i can afford to lose. Always have extra money for yourself and never invest all that you have. Crypto is not as stable as dollar so you must better keep some money to be safe in the end of the day you cant control the price.
Now I prefer to buy coins after entering the exchange. Usually it goes cheaper than buying on the ICO. But if there are good projects, then I invest 1-2 ETH. I keep the part for later if the price falls
I'm risking not more than $1000 because i know most of upcoming ico will be traded below ico price until the market will recover.
Yes I am just lying that also, I have saved much more than $1,000 to invest, but I am still holding them in order to wait a better time for that. Right now the time is not the best for going into ICO.
30% of my capital is invested in ico. In 2017, I made a lot of money by investing in ico. Investing in ico means buying new shares of stocks.
I know that the answer depends on the project, how much you believe in it, and how much you have to spend.
But I am looking for data about an average ICO investor... are people investing tiny amount in as many projects? or more sizeable amounts?
For example, lets take a $40m ICO, what do you think the average investor puts? $10? $100? $1000? 5,000? more?
Edit: many of the answers were, whether one should invest in an ICO at all. My question was intended to understand more specifically what's the average person place nowadays in an ICO, IF they participate. I am interested in data, about a typical average ICO investment, not whether anyone should or shouldn't invest in an ICO.
i have tried once to invest 1ethereum and the project become successful so my investment tripled but the next that i tried turns scamming that the dev return only half of my money thats why from that moment i stopped joining ICO.But I am looking for data about an average ICO investor... are people investing tiny amount in as many projects? or more sizeable amounts?

But if you are really interested and wanted to try then out only atleast half ethereum per project so even if the project becomes scam then theres only small amount that you have lost
When choosing a good project, I usually invest about 0.5-1ETH. If the investment is correct then I will continue to increase capital.
It all depends on what kind of capital the investor has. If the proposal is very interesting, the maximum that can be allocated to the project is 1% of the capital. This method of investment will help to diversify your portfolio as much as possible, and in the case of the collapse of the project, this loss will not affect your capital. Personally, I invest small amounts in ICO, because I do not have large funds. Typically no more than 1 ETH.

Yes most projects end up cheaper on exchanges nowadays which defeats the purpose investing in an ICO in the first place, I made a few bets on supposedly good projects but they tanked. Therefore I am staying away from doing more ICOs at this time, I really wonder why so many people are still interested in ICOs in this current market conditions.
Market recovery will take time and you made a wise decision here op. This is a great time to purchase Bitcoin and many altcoins at low prices, but the problem is that we don't know how long we need to wait until the market recovers so that we can gain profit on our investments. I recommend investing only for the long term at the moment and forget about the short term for now. If you can HODL your coins and tokens for a long period of time, do your research and select coins with long term potential like Ethereum, NEO, Ripple etc. 1000$ seems to be the optimal amount to risk at this moment.
2-3 ETH is what I invest usually
Now it is generally risky to invest in projects. All the projects in which I participated in the bounty show mostly back Iks. at an ISO price of 0.1 $, the price is very likely 0.02 $. It is better to wait on decentralized exchanges where bounty hunters can sell everything cheaper than it was on sale.
Usually i invest in ico 5 or 10% of my bankroll. If i am 100% confident in this project, i can invest 20-25%. Anyway i never put all my money in one project, even if it looks very cool.
I never invested over $ 1000 for ICO,
because I think ICO is very risky and it is often experienced by my friends

I don't invest anything at all 
i can't afford to lose money and investing in ICO is too risky, you have to be prepared for the project to fail and to loose your money. there should be legislation for ICO in order to get back your money in case of a scam or a project which fail, currently it is way too dangerous.

It depends on the project, If I invest then i do that for +- 500 dollars.
But some of people invest 10 or 100000 dollars in one project - it depends.

ico investment is very profitable, especially if you are lucky to choose a very successful ico project and the token will rise in price when it is in the market, but for now the crypto market condition is very bad, even the price of tokens or coin from ico also the average price below ico
