I see that the majority voted for the first option. I also voted for it. ICO is a high-risk investment, so I can not risk very large sums. Even if I trust the project I will not put all the money into it.

I personally have never invested in ISO and I'm not going to. The first thing that holds me back is the lack of anonymity. The second is not the fact that the company will not steal your money, as it happened many times. It is better to buy interesting tokens immediately after entering the exchange.

I am not going to invest in any ICO anytime soon. It is because many ICOs are unfortunately a scam or projects which are very unlike to succeed. Also, it seems that due to growing cryptocurrencies popularity, it is a good idea to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum. It takes quite a long time before the coins you bought start to have some kind of value. Usually they are priced at $0.15 but after the ICO ends, nobody will buy them from you for that price.

Under 1 BTC because i'm student and i don't have a huge amount of money to take a risk and do a risky investing. I already earn good money with my pocket money but i didn't invest huge amount for altcoins or ICO's.

I do not invest much in ICO. At least the amount of investment in one project does not exceed the sum of 500-1000 dollars.

Hey guys

Just wondering what others normally invest in each ICO they invest in and see what the rough average is

Thanks
Usually i don't put much money into ico because i don't join ico that often, the most i've ever put into an ico is about 2k usd or about 2 eth and the average is about 1 eth. I prefer to buy the coin once it got listed on exchange or i'll wait for the potential dump on exchange.

There are a lot of ISO that are worth the money that I have invested in them, but really such projects as will not return my attachments, so you can say that by investing there, the money I lost

To participate in the ICO, I leave 10% of my investment portfolio.  Participation in the ICO is a big risk, and 10% is the amount that I'm not afraid to lose.  And after that I look at the projects.  If there are several good ICOs at the moment, then I divide the sum between them.  When I first started investing, I invested about 1 bitcoin in ICO (but then bitcoin cost much less).  Now I invest not more than 1 ETH

I usually invest around $5K max in ICO's but i invest more time too. Research, learning more, promoting, investing and finally trading if that happens too. It's all a chain reaction really because I want my investment to be successful and everything must be perfect before any commitment is made.

I invest between 2-3 ETH, but I research a lot into the projects and take calculated gambles.

I was a little shocked with the option for the vote. 10BTC... I mainly come from reddit and people there have less less holding than that. You guys have truly this much holdings ? Like you can freely throw even 1BTC in a ICO ?

In my journey with ICOs back in October, I am just a small-time investor. I even call myself as a "micro investor" where I can invest between $10 to $20 in average. It also depends how much is the minimum required investment for a specific ICO too.

If only I had huge funds to invest in ICO, I can invest between $100 to $300 per project. As of this time, I can't do much yet because I am still hanging on with a few freelance gigs plus long-term #HODLings of my altcoins.

I think it depends on how much money I have and how much do I think that the project would be in the future,
I am really careful in investing my money in some ICO's because some of the ICO's are just going to take your money and abandon their project after the ICO.
So I am really careful on trusting my money in some project sometimes I would just wait for the token to be in the market before buying it .

Invest only an amount that you can afford to lose.

Regardless if it's less than or greater than 1 BTC it's still an investment. We cannot neglect the fact that a huge amount of risk is always present when investing in something, especially in an ICO, so just spend something you can afford. If you can afford to lose less than a bitcoin then do so, if you can afford to lose more than a bitcoin then go. Just consider studying the project/ICO you want to invest in. Investing is not something that you'll just go for without studying how you can benefit from it.

This type of question should not be asked IMO. You yourself is the only one who can answer how much you want to invest. Knowing how much others usually invest in an ICO does not matter since you're the one who is investing. Invest an amount based from your research and not how much others invest usually.

Usually I only invest at the most 1 ETH just to spread out my portfolio if I think it is a good project.

Well i think every investors will have different amount of bitcoin to be invested into the ICOs projects, and we can see your the result of survey gives under one bitcoin. In my personal experience i have made investment in the ICOs just under one bitcoin the reason for it is management of money and risk, we can not make all in one ICOs projects due to it is high risk losing the money, will be wise to separate the money in other investment and don't be greed to taking profit.

I think no one will invest 1btc in ICO. Unless if the dev is trusted.  Cause sometimes there are some ICO that didn't succeed to achieve their goals.. which is after a months it will become scam and there's no return on it even cents after the ICO failed. So i suggest to invest what you can afford to lose to prevent causes and regrets.

It's not a matter of how much you invest, but how large potential returns are and which ICOs to trust.

Here are some ICO red flags that any investor should look out for:

1 "Solutionism" i.e. tokens created for tokens' sake, without solving an actual problem
2. There are no linkedin profiles of the team that you can check for their credentials
3. No valuable product underpinning the fundraising project
4. Timeline of roadmap not feasible
5. No cap on tokens and unrealistic funding target
6. Founders holding a disproportionate share of tokens

This list is by no means exhaustive. You need to seek out crypto experts who have the experience to tell the scam ICOs (e.g. Plexcoin, BitConnect) apart from the legitimate ICOS (e.g. ETH, BCG).
