If you buy potential ICOs when they are traded the price will be much lower than the ICO time. That is what worries everyone the most for today's ICO projects. Currently ICO scam is a lot, requires us to have an in-depth knowledge to analyze the project.

Now that ICOs are so tainted with suspicion and scams what alternatives are out there for investors?

Do you think ICOs are still as innovative and as profitable as they were a couple of years ago?

Keeping the current market in mind is it worth taking risks investing via ICOs?
The only alternative ICO this - IPO, there is no fraud, but there are also risks and many legal nuances.
I think I need to invest in ICO, but  this have to do it very carefully and necessarily studying projects.

Definetly,at this moment i have  acertain doubts mostly come out ICO now,and thats your statement is true that mostly come out ICO project  now is tainted with suspicion and scam,because i'm one  experience and victimize of some hoax ICO,they said that its rocketting but in the end  its turn to lossing,but anyway i believe that more ICO is still innovative and profitable,so until now i still finding and joining some development project thats for me is suitable.

How do you filter the bad ICOs from the good? What do you look for when investing? Is it something specific or gut feeling?

Purchasing during the ICO is not mandatory.  You can just wait until it is listed on an exchange and buy then.  If you're lucky, you might even end up paying less than if you bought during the ICO.  Many times, the bounty hunters will dump the tokens at almost any value and you can buy them at a bargain.

The alternative is IPO, but in this case you will have to comply with all laws, obtain the necessary licenses, pay taxes, etc.

Correct, IPOs are out of the question because of the various legal obligations involved making everything too difficult to attain.

I have recentely read an article about new ERA of ICOs. I think this idea came from vitalik, he said that investors should have control over the funds via smart contract. Those funds will be realeased through voting as soon as the team deliver their milestones, if they don't the money is returned back to investors! I think this is a great idea!

Saw this while browsing through forums, so I guess thats a good reason to stay away from every ICO if you are looking to invest a good amount. I was myself searching for various kinds of projects to invest since I have some BTC savings held from my current mining project - I thought I would just invest it somewhere so I can exchange it back to BTC once it reaches a good price. I have noticed that there is very little information about the coin/token (technically) on the description or even on their "whitepaper". Most of these ICO's just add up buzzwords in their description so that people will get the idea that it is something big.

Popular words include AI, BIG DATA etc..

Judging by this suspicious nature of most 'ICO's i refrained from investing my BTC, and decided just to HODL.

Great screenshot. In the current market case HODL is probably the best option

I think that soon everything will change and there will not be so many fraudulent ISO, the regulators paid attention to it and I am sure that they will try to do without a risky way of investment. At least, that the project team after collecting money the next day did not buy themselves lambo and the island, and work on the project. Simply, no one can look into the future and understand whether the project will be in demand in the market or not, even if its team is working on 24/7.

Any future regulation would make investing in ICOs more secure for investors but for now what alternatives would make you feel more confident if investing?

The alternative is to run a non ICO coin preferably one that does airdrops like how DeepOnion and Bitcore have done in the past 6 months.

No, not even close. They may still be innovating ideas but the execution is abysmal and hardly any project that ICOs deserves the funding.

Perhaps right now there is because we are on the cusp of a bull run, but realistically no they are an overall drain on what is happening in the cryptoworld.

If you don't want to invest on ICOs then invest on the altcoins then the chance for scam is zero but still it is risky because we can't say all the altcoins will rise like bitcoin so invest on your own risk.Or just buy bitcoin and wait for the profits to come in the long term or start altcoin mining the investment needed for that is less than the bitcoin mining.

I think ICOs still have innovation and have very high interest. Just imagine if the ICO they built has a very good project and very useful for the future and can develop a project based on cryptocurrency then it is certain that many will want to buy and become some investment.
if you have trouble finding ICO you can go to https://icobench.com/icos from there you can get some good information about ICO.

One of the alternative you can do is to stick with known altcoins that is solid and have a good track record. Coinmarketcap is also a good guide to help you choose the right altcoin that is good for you.

ICo in gernal are a beautiful innovation in world the world of bussines.
Ico enables star ups to rise money in different way other than private placement .
And on the other side ICo allows regular people to invest.

Yes it has its drawbacks but that just means that it needs to evolve.

What I am observing is that it is happening rarely nowadays for an ICO to reach the hard cap. There are no fresh money coming in the ecosystem the last months and whales are keeping their positions I guess. The flipping en masse days are over I think.
