Topic: HOW TO MAKE ICO's PROFITABLE AGAIN - page 2. (Read 423 times)
It is very difficult to get profit from ICO at the moment, compounded by many of the ICO scams that make beginners become deceived and lose their assets. research and selection of an ICO is the most important thing, whether we will get profit or loss later.
Lately, we've seen that investing in crowdsales are no longer profitable due to ICO's favouring VCs and private investors. These set of investors receive heavy bonuses with almost no lock up periods at all. Consequently, they dump these tokens at listing on exchanges and crash the prices below the ICO price, resulting in big losses for smaller investors. As a result, it's difficult to make 5x - 10x from ICO price anymore.
As an investor, one of the best ways to curb this and make ICO's more profitable again is to focus on crowdsales. You have to make a conscious decision to invest in only projects with good lock up periods for VC's and private investors. These lock up periods is what guarantees that the guys with big bonuses don't dump on us. A project with good and experienced team, working product, good token metrics, use case, and considerable lock up periods for VCs and private investor should ordinarily do well in the market.

How about bounty hunters ? Do you suggest the team to lock up token for hunters too ? Most hunters need their reward can be sold as soon as possible.
They should focus about their product development after crowdsale, so the token price will be back at least at ICO price quickly.
ICO market should be regulated like IPO, so many public investor will feel more safe. Now there are some ICO turn in to fraud because no any regulation, and from this case many investor will avoid ICO and chooce other kind of investment like IPO that has regulation.
As a small investor like me, we cant compete to big whales investors. They can have the full benefit on it when it hits on the exchange. My only option is to buy the ico tokens I love on the exchange. It is expected that the price of the tokens when it hits on the exchange will surely have a big dump. That is the right time to buy.
i think these things had its time when they were extremely profitable but i think there good ico's out there they are few but they are there you just need to be selective about that.
Projects must fulfill all their promises, especially those that collect a lot of money and then do nothing. Projects should return investor confidence.
The lock-up period is fundamental yet will put off numerous financial specialists from purchasing in mass and undertaking supervisors will need to pick up the greatest number of bitcoins/ethereum as they can get their hands on. Great to see that pre-deal financial specialists are being perceived as in charge of dumping, for the most part, abundance seekers get erroneously faulted.
I always knew the high influx of hedge funds, capital groups and those greedy big pockets guys would be harm the ICO space space in the long run and it has started already. After the crypto and ico boom in 2017, VCs became a big part of the game and ICO projects started getting greedy. They sell majority of the token allocations to VCs and then do a shitty proof of love campaign or airdrop the little percentage left to the crowd. VCs even offer OTC deals for ico tokens at 2x - 5x the price they bought it. This has to stop. I've stopped investing in ICOs for a while now.
Currently, it is difficult for new projects. Since the price of ether and bitcoin is constantly decreasing. The cost of tokens is also reduced. That depends on the success of the project. Because of this course you need more time to study the project. And its social significance for the world.
The solution is very simple, stop investing in ICOs who have separate lock up period for VCs and private investors and there are quite a few ICO available on the market that doesn't treat their investors in such unfair manner. Moreover, you need to acknowledge the fact that even if the lock up period is not there, a lot of investors can buy huge amount of tokens and manipulate the market later on.
Make sure you know what project or ICO you are investing in. read the white paper thoroughly and know about the team and their experiences. You cannot expect a quick return from your ICO tokens since a project needs time to develop. Hold on to your coins and have patience. If the project is solid then you'll surely get a good profit from your ICO tokens.
The question that you need to ask is, would your suggestions, recommendations, and advises will be heard and will be implemented by the companies themselves? It is important to consider their side of the deal too. Is it profitable for them to give out so much to so little marketers and bounty participants?
I don't have any ideas except completely changing ICO structure. It seems to me that there should be some reports in front of community for each wasted $. Community,investors should take part in polls regarding each decision.
There are projects which don't have lock up period for VCs and private investors rather they allow everyone to get an equal opportunity to make investments. We can definitely opt for those. The blame is here on us because we are still investing on these ICOs whereas they are treating us unfairly. Keep boycotting them and they will eventually get rid of such phases.
Good projects always make vesting periods for VC and funds. It is a requirement.
At the same time even hype ICOs lose value after listing and it is real issue. just wait market reverse and all will change

If this is about retail investors, then go for MenloOne. Normally we see the ICO as something that will stick around for the long term investment, hence it takes a bit of time.
I think if ICO is good i mean its working project then in long term they will be profitable but most of investors want quick profit ,smart investors who \understand how market works keep their tokens.
There are a lot of profitable ICOs, but you have to understand that this should be really good projects. There are not many such projects. You must be careful with any investment and choose only good projects. The ICO has many advantages and you just need to invest in a good ICO to make a profit
This will take time to come to fruition. Because everything is tied up , i.e the tokens. And the prices gets determined on the basis of the development.
If ICO restricted from scams and have some thing new which are attract investors to invest then more investors will be invest on ICO projects. And we know what will be result then
