Investments in ICO projects have always been more risky than in coins , before investing in projects you need to contact the developers.

You can do a few simple steps to check if an ICO is legit or not. You must read the whitepaper of a project, because it is the most important document of a project. Moreover, look at the product. A great ICO must have at least an MVP.

I think we don't have to take the same step in understanding a project. We have our own way, right? Everyone has a different way on it because everyone has a different mindset, everyone has different ability in analyzing something. But it's good for you because you have shared your steps in analyzing the project.

All in principle correctly. I agree with many things. But based on practice, I see that investing in ICO makes no sense. In this year. All coins could be bought on the stock exchange at a lower cost.
People are not interested in new ICO projects because a lot of altcoin are cheap so the ICO is no longer important in this market. I think if you want to invest then everyone should choose quality projects to invest because the risk will be less and can make you earn a stable profit in the long run.

It's better to take part in the ICO held in your country.
Because with all that you can better monitor the ICO until it is successful and even if it fails you can refund it to its head office.

You should carefully examine every details on the ico that they give if its correct or true or not. Most of the scam ico are impersonating some whitepapers and tend to copy some, so be careful on it. Make a proper research first before making and investment option.

Definitely I agree with you. Be careful in all aspects.even if they have visible platforms stated in the whitepaper but sometimes it is convincing because they copy it in an existing project. Sometimes also we are aiming on how much tokens they are going to give us that's why we can't research thorough every details of the ICO projects. Don't rush into investment. Study every single details on it to avoid being scam.

Thank you friend, your writing is very good and really helped me a lot.
yes of course we need a way to analyze it so that we are trapped in a fake or fraudulent ICO and your writing can be my reference for choosing a good and good iCO for the future and from here I become a very important knowledge because before I did not understand how to choose a good and bad iCO.

People are writing longreads on the factors to analyze while investing in ICOs. Huge lists are not very helpful, because it will take too much time to do the research and there are too many projects one has to look at to make sure one knows what ICOs are generally like. I wrote an article on medium with 5 easy steps to evaluate an ICO before investing: https://medium.com/@nd.invest.ico/is-evaluation-of-icos-really-that-hard-eb063e1eb73f. Do you agree or disagree with the points I made there? What are the main factors you look at when you evaluate an ICO?
All your points raised in medium are very valid particularly Step 1. We can actually know more about a particular ICO by reviewing what others have said about it on a relevant thread in the Announcements section.

Always make research mate before choosing an investment site  such on their white paper and sites where you can obtain specific information about the project.  And i highly recommend to join as well on their telegram group chat to determine easily how good the project is through feedback.

There are quite a number of criteria for evaluating and selecting ICOs:
  + Evaluation team development
  + Potential expansion of the project
  + The foundation that ICOs use (Etherium, Stellar, Waves, ...)
  + A little bit of your own experience
  + Other factors

You said that "HUGE LIST" are not very helpful because it cause too much time but that is important to make sure that your investment is in the good hands, most of the people get scammed by ICO's are those who are lazy investors, they are too lazy to do important things before investing like reading whitepaper search about the team etc.

That is one of the important factors in the analysis of ICO projects. I think that if traders read this article, their analysis skills will be greatly increased. I often evaluate ICO projects by looking at their ideas, their team and their activities.

This is a very difficult question to be answered. There are many factors that should research before investing in any ICO. But the numbers are too long and there is not much time for any investors to check those. So checking white papers, time duration in market, user opinion can be reliable sources.


Indeed true. Thousands of ICO are very hard you find which is the best and good ICO. It is really best you research in all forms of social media. Always follow and look for the visible platform of the ICO. It really take a lot of efforts and time to look for a good ICO for investment.

before joining an ico, it would be better if we understand the ico that will be followed well. we can see the whitepaper because in it there is a lot of important information about the project. we also must see the team that handles because it's important. we can know whether the team that handles can be trusted or not.

now it's the greater number of ICO. in fact almost every day always appear new ICO. It is of course very difficult for us to choose a proper ICO. I myself often drop choice ICO on softcap projects.

I disagree with all your opinions in your article except the first one that is good ICO need a big and strong community. 2. Good introductory video about the project is a must. We don't need this, some good project even don't have introduction video. Before join a good ICO to invest, you must know how to avoid scam ICO first, i found a good tutorials about this, you can read HERE

you should add that there needs to be a reason for an actual token. otherwise it's really just a moneygrab. lots of projects out there really don't need the token at all

I do not really agree, because many things that make ico failed even though it has a good team, brilliant concepts and profitable projects, because many factors can influence such as a fortune, market conditions, a supportive community, investors interested in the project and how much the team is willing to work for the project.

I disagree with pretty much everything in this article.  The flawed thinking behind this article is what has caused so many to be scammed.  You left out the only thing that really matters and that is does this project have an actual product and is there a practical use case for this coin/token?  Check out our ICO and you will see what I am talking about.  Our app is already live in Google Play and iTunes.

Your writing is very helpful, Buddy...
However, opportunities can still be made. The more proficient a person is, the more perfect he covers his fraud.
For example, everything is complete, both website, whitepaper, roadmap, and others.
Don't close the pot door too.
However, overall your suggestions are enough to minimize victims of ICO publications.

Always remember choosing an ICO is one of the most difficult thing you would have in crypto because most of them are scam and wont reach their softcap , background and partnerships will ensure the overall success of their Project ! Like Foresting a solid team, advisors and partnerships that will change the social media industry to have fairness with content creators to earn tokens as long they contribute to the platform by doing quality contents ! By using blockchain technology the platform will have decentralize control , privacy and accident prevent and also a fair distribution based on voting system rather than traffic count which is spammable !

Does the company gives you a clear vision about their projects and profits? You should know about this. Take decision wisely just because you’re investing. Always have the knowledge of current market situation. It’ll help you.

There are different ways on how to choose an ICO for investment, that's why different people or investors uses different approaches in doing it. Some will rather choose the ICO after reading the white paper, roadmap and making thorough research about the ICO and the team behind the ICO check their portfolio and projects that they have handle before maybe it was successful or the other way round.

If you’re a regular investor then you know the offers that a regular company offer. Don’t trust any unknown party. Look at the market graph and take decisions. You’re the one who is responsible for your fate!

A lot has been said about how to spot the best ICO and bla bla bla, but the fact remains that lately, it takes sheer luck to get good ICOs. This is because an ICOs can tick all the boxes yet tank at the exchange and you'll wondering what happened to all your research and due diligence

What you have stated here is indeed true. We do need to look and do a thorough research on the ICO project as well as the team's management and the number of experts in it to determine if it is a good ICO or not.
