Hello! Is it still worth to invest into ICOs? If so, how do I find the good ones? Any recommendations here ?

it's not worth anymore. I think that you can stick to the another kind of fundraising like IEO and IDO. People in here have been suggesting about that and joining in ICO is not worth anymore and you must also remember that if you are in the bearish market. That being said that when you must be careful with any investment opportunity as sometime this can be a boomerang for you. Why don't you wait until the market will be bullish again? I meant as you can see that if the bearish market will be also affecting the crypto fundraising platforms as well.

It's hard to find a good ICO like 2016-2017, at that time ICOs were very easy to reach a hard cap even with a value of $200 million

Yes. Nowadays, it is rather difficult to get good ICOs. Many of the ICO projects just want to earn money quickly. They pay some sites to improve the popularity of their projects, so investors are interested to buy their tokens. Sadly, after they got money, the project will grow slowly. Even, the team members of the project leave the project suddenly.

unfortunately it was used by scammers so investors didn't believe it again with ICOs.

It is true. Scammers know if many people want to try their luck in ICOs. So, ICOs were trending and quite popular. Scammers take advantage of this situation, they plan ways to trap people. Of course, scammers can take people's money because there are too many people buying new tokens without deep analysis.

I suggest going with IDO (Initial Dex Offering) there are already a lot of them right now, especially on different chains.

I can give you some examples, try the Solana network, Raydium is one of the best examples for Initial Dex Offering, there are some projects already made successful IDO there where you only need funds and sometimes whitelisting for their sale.

I find more IDO is much better or safe compare to ICO.

IDO's are great if you are looking for something in the defi or meta world, but the new coins and their releases are still in the ICO world right now. I would suggest IDO as well if you are looking for a quick return, but if you are looking for a return that would be 1000x in 4 years type of long term approach then finding coins instead of tokens to invest is still better.

I do both, I mean both quick returns and long term investments are great, you do not have to limit yourself just to one of them, and this means I end up with some good profits in the short and the long term. I do end up losing money on most tries but the ones that earn me profit usually cover the difference and then some.

We had good ICO's here, but we had many ICO scams as well! I am guessing that today it's the same ratio as before, on every good project there are at least 10 scams! Choosing that one promising is really hard, that can bring high profit with very low investments! What I saw some people are doing is dividing their capital and they chase that good project with more investments! They don't complain about the profit, going all-in in just one project can end in disaster, choosing more of them gives you more chances to hit some good project that can make some insane rise!

So, what they are doing is like gambling. That is how gambling works too, the more you bet the more the chances of winning. Why cant they invest instead on safer projects? To establish one's and not on the new ICOs. They are already sure on them that it can give them some profit especially if they learn to hold longer. ICO's are nearly dead now.

I think there is only 1 percent of them exist and the chance for it to fail is still high because many investors are now investing on the newer version of funding (i.e ipo, ido, ieo and others that i forget the term already). One thing that makes them secure is that they are held inside an exchange and you can chose a top exchange for a better quality project.

it's very difficult to choose a really decent ico at this time a few years ago ico projects were very good and very profitable for many people nowadays many ico projects are scams but not all of them there are still decent ico projects just that we need to be more careful in selecting it.

I don't think if there is a project that launch ICO, it was very trendy in the past but too bad many of them were scams, the ICO is ruined.. Most the new projects prefer IEO or IDO nowadays, but finding a good project is really difficult, you better do your own research, scam projects will never end.

Is there a fundamental difference between ICO with IEO and IDO at this time ? because from what I see now there are also projects that implement IEO and IDO into a scam in the end so that benchmark is not the only thing that has to be looked at now but great support from some good parties.

There's a huge difference on both method of crowdsourcing. IDO is highly dependent on the reputation of the exchange that will launch it since the exchange do the project screening and vouch for them when accepting IDO on there exchange simply there reputation is on the line when they are launching it so its a safer investment if you only participate in a trusted exchange.

On the other hand ICO is pure a gamble because it requires a full trust to the team since there's no one vouching for them except for there project proposal quality.

Worth to invest? There's no assurance.

the site provided can be a good start in doing research. Then it's just how you respond to it. other than that, don't be fooled by the scores such sites give. better find out for yourself about the progress of the project. usually I just use the site as my information base for an ICO. You can know social media, the people who are in it, telegram, discord, and other information you can find there. however, for the development of the project itself, you need to look deeper than telegram, social media, discord, and also their AMA program.

I think ICO is now outdated, we use IDO whitelist for public sale. Usually IDO is carried out on a trusted platform such as an exchange or incubator, and immediately explodes when the IDO is finished.

They are and the common today aside from IDO is IEO. There's still vast projects that are choosing to launch themselves through exchanges where they've been supported and going to be listed after their sale. There's still an enormous support from the investors that they're investing with those projects that seems to being liked by their users. Finding a worthy ICO will take you time although they're outdated and there's still some, you should just spend your time better with the commons today.

According to the advice and the fact that more than 90% of ICOs are scams so projects that rely on ICOs will fail to achieve softcap, investors are tired of ICOs which often end up losing money because when they are present in the market the value drops, IDO and IEO are certainly safer because investors can know the performance of the project.

there are no more ICO for now but there are IDO and IEO, where they directly sell tokens in the market and I think they are more effective than ICO that have a lot of fraud,

Do not believe, there is an ICO that has turned out to be very good, I worked in social networks for that project and it is very well supported, in fact one of the most famous managers was in charge of the project, his name is Beyond Protocol, which is a really serious project and I see a great future for it, in fact the people in charge have great professionalism.

So not all is lost for ICOs, in fact the conditions for ICOs are very big and they have to be met, this has prevented it from leading to scams, so all is not lost.

Im from 2017 and i saw a lot of ICO, and 90% of them are Scam, its to hard to find good ICO, etc IDO and so on, in today day its like casino, find like ppl saying now "GEM". For me i learned some rules, its first look for team and their linkedIn, then White paper, Tokenomics, social activity, Ceretic audit and so on, but u need to understand that its not 100% guarantee, so just work work work Roll Eyes

ICOs have been like a gambling which may not be evident to newcomers but to veterans like me this is a very clear. Either get in early when the price is low and sell at high to exit. But don't expect a good listing when buying on token sales. It is a rat race and getting a big return in it is much less likely than what you could in the stock or crypto trading markets.

Some people enter ICOs because they are not willing to buy Bitcoin in a fraction. This is a wrong mentality because every fraction of Bitcoin is costly and collecting those fractions adds up to a bigger number.

If you want to join an ICO, the first thing you should do is analyze the project first because so far many projects are selling through ICOs, almost all of them are just scammers, so when you invest with an ICO you should choose a project that has been audited by an audit firm like Certik and Hacken and apart from that you should also check that the contract of the project you want to invest in has been verified to ensure that the project is not a duplicate of another project.

The ICO trend seems to have ended

It has developed into NFT, Metaverse and play to earn games. Previously projects have created a webpage, filled it with info, created whitepaper and presentation of their product, and ran ICO to raise money. Now they do the same with NFT, Metaverse and games. Make some arts, shiny pictures, promise that their game will be "most interesting in the world" and promise "wow features", and that is it - they start to raise money with that. Without even planning to finish what they promise to release. There is no difference between "we will integrate blockchain into warehouse good distribution process" and "we will create a metaverse, where you can be anyone you want". Both are just fancy word to get investors money

The ICO trend seems to have ended, look at projects that rely on ICOs, many fail to reach the softcap even though it's only $100k, people certainly don't want to take risks in ICOs, moreover there are already more than 17k choices of coins on the market, so many ICOs fail, investors prefer to IEO or IDO, and on GATE, Mexc, FTX, Pancake or other exchanges many successful projects.
