There are no projects that can guarantee your profit, but there are projects that at least work honestly, which means everything depends on you, but there are not many such projects.

Instead of looking for a project that will still just gonna run I think its better to make an investments to those coins that is already on the market. We may soon have a good value that benefits our wallets.

Finding projects like what you like isn't really a good thing to do, it will only lead you to scammers. Making their projects looks big but after ICO they will perished with their Millions of Dollars that they have collected. There are much more scams right now than the legit ones.

If one is not careful you will always fall in for scam ICO due to the fact that in the past we always look at the project white paper to give us the clue to what the project entails but in recent time most ICO have fine out about this and have chosen to always lie in the white paper by promising what is not real and by that misleading investors to believe that they project is real and have a working product but all this are lies. We all need to be Careful before going into any investment in any project.

Yes, not all projects are scams, but these days is hard to choose a project that will bring a fast profit in short term in my opinion, and i think because the price of bitcoin not grow will be very hard to make a profit until the bull run will start.

They're not all scam. You just have to choose which one that you have thoroughly investigated. Although there are some that later on announce they are canceling the project but I don't think they'd be doing it without refunding. There are good projects out there, you just have to check whether the concept can be applied to the blockchain real well.
I agree with this, the ICO is now having a bad image is because of the people who enter this type of investing without making a proper research.
They are the one who cause their own loses, if they failed, they complain and they are taken advantage by the scammers.

I would prefer to choose good project by their transparency in coin, response of the team to the investors ,activities of project and mainly in how many exchanges it has.

It's simple. No investing in ICO's and only investing in projects that already have a working product.

Nowadays maximum ICO projects is a scam. In my opinion, If you want to invest in a crypto project, Deposit your Bitcoin/Ethereum in the best exchanger like Binance, OKEx,
Bitfinex etc.
scroll https://coinmarketcap.com and chose your favorite coin after choosing,
view a day or weekly chart if you see the market going uptrend from the bottom like this picture buy and hold it. I think its better then ICO investment.

Very valid point.  Most ICO projects I have seen all come through the gate with high expectations and price only to jump of the cliff and drop like a rock.  Keeping that in mind, it is a choice of fundraising by the developers behind it. 

I agree with you Sarah, watch the project, see what it is doing, do your research and take your time.  Look at your personal goals.  Are you only looking for a short term (3-5day) investment? or something longer term?  If your going for long term, what is another weeks wait? Take the time to fully look at the project, it's goals, roadmap, whitepaper, team, community. 

I know many will say this, it's repeated often but yet so many actually take the advice or fully look at what they are about to do with their money.  Be safe, invest responsibly.

I would call it a lottery.
I wouldn't call it one especially when one has a huge amount of money on the line,it could really have negative effects on such individuals and leaving them hating this network
The more reason why a lot would advice you to simply invest in the bitcoin,not to say alts aren't profitable once or twice but because it's difficult to determine which one actually will

It’s not that simple though really. I mean 80% of ICOs seem to have been scams, and only 8% made it to the exchanges (see 80% of ICOs are Scams, Only 8% Reach an Exchange).

The referenced link is a bit oldish now, but out of all the people that backed that 80%, I’m pretty sure that, dreamers and gullible aside, plenty of people followed the due diligence mantra. That may lower the odds of getting scammed a couple of percentage points, but there is no clear set of infallible steps to take that guarantee having hit head on with the right project. It seemed more like a funfair raffle than anything, where people should not have invested (here comes the other mantra) more than they can afford to lose.

If you take it seriously you need to do some research: website, whitepaper, license, social media and forums, reputation and feedbacks, even customer support matters. Certainly if a project is worthy and already popular it requires bigger invensments.
On the other hand if you feel lucky you may pick any new project that looks interesting to you. By investing and believing in some unique project you may get a lot more than you expected!  Roll Eyes  It is risky but fun  Smiley

Investment strategies are very necessary when it comes to crypto investments and in the case when you are looking to invest in any ICO or STO. Well first of all you have to confirm the identities of the team with regards to the project whether it is not some ponzy scam that they are trying to launch to steal innocent  people's money. After this then you can go right ahead and consider the project's vision and mission and consider whether they actually have an identified situation which they plan to solve. I am sure if you are able to do your deligence with respect to these two that should get you in the start in the right direction.

Before investing in any project you have to choose the good project by making research about the project's background.
And you have to make a good decision while investing in any project. Checkout the projects white paper and roadmap and then make the investment.
Of course, a good research is a key of every good investor. The time everyone invests in a research will always pay out in the long-term. I prefer to make at first a closer look to the team, it's in my opinion the most important part. If a team is not experienced, the whole project will end in a desater. So, have a look at the qualification of the team, maybe previous projects and their story. A whitepaper can be very much fluff sometimes, which can be verified if you have a look at team members. If about team members is not told much, better stay away.  Smiley

Its hard to find what project will get real and make investors profit. But i have any tips to find what project to good for invest and maybe real. Check their Softcap and Hardcap and good project is have website with more than 4 months old. Check their Team, Official Fanspage and Whitepaper. Don't find project that give you too bigger bonus at token sale.

I've stopped working for the last 6 months. I've tried to find out some good projects.

The new era  of cryptocurrency world has triggers many entrepreneurs  to build their own companies.
armed with simple science and without the support of a professional team they dare to build a company. of course this will be disastrous for them, because basically they just want money without thinking how and what their company goals in the future.

Some of existing projects  is just a scam project.
Then how do we choose the right project?
Of course we can judge and learn from the mission and vision of the company. And we must check are the project is real. If it's good for the future then we join the ICO or pre-ICO they offer. Many companies that fail ICO have an impact  unable to pay the participants' of their bounties program. Of course this has a negative impact on the company and it will be difficult to attract investors' attention to their products in the future.

There have a good article for find a scam ICO. Visit here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45150042

I understand that you are looking for a good ICO for yourself rather than a good project that has been listed?

1.If you want to choose a good project then there are many. The top 20 projects of CoinmarketCap are very potential in the future. And you should choose the Coin is very potential under $ 1: ADA, NEM, TRX

2.If you want to learn how to look for a good ICO for long term investment then you have to learn how to evaluate the ICO. If you just listen to the advice from others you will be very difficult to succeed, you have to self-assess the ICO project which is good.

For example: The ICO market depends on a number of factors, including the price of Ethereum affecting the overall ICO. There are a lot of good ICO projects but have been shut down and bankrupt because Ethereum prices are so low. They do not have the funds to continue the project.

There are so many projects in the crypto world you have to make an survey or search of the good project.
Later should check out all the features of the project which you want to to make the investment by reading their whitepaper and roadmap.

The crypto community is still young and there are more areas to find safety in terms of projects and so you have to ensure that the measures that should confers security are all in place before you give in.
I will prefer a project that i fully developed to those that are not known by many and are not listed on exchanges.

Based on my experience, in the world of cryptocurrencies...the road to success is very bumpy and according to what I have found/witnessed is that scammers who have lots of experience in this field know how to sugar coat their words on their websites and WP  to make a project look very genuine and convincing which was a criteria that worked to find good projects, now we have to do more like, we have to dig up profiles to prove if the team members are real, is the project coming with a working prototype and have they secured a physical office for easier reference, and most importantly for me I need to see unique projects not recycled ideas!

Choosing an ICO project is a really hard thing on these days. Because there are too many scam projects and most top rated ICOs not giving good profit. The ICO return on investment really depends on market condition. I have seen top-rated ICOs has not given good profit recently. There is a number of type scams with ICOs. Then be careful to choose a good ICO project.

It would depend on the market condition because some investors are taking a break not investing in projects because the market is not doing good in this bear market so they would rather wait for the time when the bulls come back so that they can easily get their profit in a short amount of time. You cannot entirely depend on the reputable ICO sited because some of them are just paid to promote the ICO so you should do your due diligence in choosing a good investment.

I usually follow the steps below:
1. Is there any license?  (Such as cryptocurrency exchange license, financial institution license, crypto wallet license, etc.)
2. Is there any actual product?  (Usually a variety of Apps.)
3. Is there any recognized research result? (Usually need a patent code.)
4. Is there any strong partner?
5. Join their telegram group and learn about their reputation and popularity.

Choosing a good project to investing it can be quite tasking and no matter how hard you try to maneuver it you there is a possibility you end up in disappointment that's why some investors tends to stick with established coin like bitcoin and some other top coin and it's really working from them. Am not undermining any project. In fact some project has done great but there are more scam project than legit project

That is how the entire structure works.
Facebook was not built by professional. teams but by an intelligent and motivated individual. That's how ideas are turned to projects.

The identity of Satoshi is unknown, but he could have as well not have been a professional, but a very intelligent and motivated individual.

Some (majority actually) of project developers are in it for the profit with little effort and resources out into the sustainance and future goals of the project.

I would choose projects that list on exchange rather than ICOs because most ICOs are high risk. Choosing tokens that have list on exchange is safer.
Most ICO's get listed on exchanges,and never survive,at least not after the bounty hunters have dumped the shit owta most of them
It becomes so hard for the tokens to have any value whatsoever..
So you could still purchase tokens when they hit their various exchanges,but never be in line to make any profit..
As about 90% would definitely sell below their ICO price after few weeks and never recover..

It's always safer and better to invest in recognized coins like the bitcoin,ethereum etc
