Look at the development team, because with the development team, I make sure I know the project is SCAM or not.
Suppose that the development team has a Vitalik Buterin Adviser, so I am 100% sure that the ICO will not be a SCAM, like Omisgo.
Topic: how to understand ico? (Read 153 times)
For me,I will say that ICO is initial coin offering which is a way for either an existing company or upcoming project to raise money globally from investors to fund the project and give profits back to those investors as time passes by and the company operations become more profitable.

You can wait until token listing or product development - this is more safe, but profits are much lower.The greater means the higher profit.

There is a lot of old threads were discussing that and you can find them all and then try to read every page about that. The only thing you should to do a lot of research about that. If you have seen about how zilliqa, ONT, Iotex and many more are not scam projects and they are all giving a very very huge return to the users and they are even better than EOS. 
Try to understand how a proper whitepaper is, the team's experience and history, the code, the community and many more.
There are many ways to know the ICO is really good or just a scam. You can see from the ICO rating. You can see it on ICObench and many more. After that you can see from the product on sale a project and mission vision of course very important to see ICO is good or scam. And the Team of the ICO is also very influential.
I would suggest you to go to ico rating sites like icodrops and to analyze rated projects that are there. Most of the predictions on icodrops are right. That helped me a lot, and I hope it would help you too
That is ezactly why you lose as newcomers. Dude, be careful who you're trusting, after all, these websites get paid to get you listed higher. As long as you don't do your own research and make up your mind.

It is really difficult to understand ICO. I know how you feel. But only you, yourself can know if it is a trusted ICO. First is you have to investigate. You have to search every details about that coin. In that way you cannot be fooled. You can also ask the opinion of other who are in this organization for so many years. With their experience they can help you a lot.
