This is a good idea. If there is an existing business with a track record and they need funding it probably much better to invest that way than from an upstart ICO. More safer investment.

ICOs regulation must be strictly implemented in such a way that we can filter out which of them are legitimate,dedicated and really focus on their project not just on always getting the peoples money for their own interest. ICOs are almost identical to some start-up companies who offer IPOs . To ICOs is to cryptocurrency as to IPO is to public fiat. ICO is the counterpart of IPO. In terms of ICO alternatives in crypto world, mining and trading is the absolute solution where it exist long before the ICOs came.
The high failure rate in fresh and rapidly growing spheres is a normal thing. Look at the dotcom bubble, it was waaaaay bigger that the bubble of ICO right now.
Well the days of huge ICOs are over. It seems there might be the odd exception to the rule but for many ICO investors the bubble has already burst.

If you feel investing on ICO will not work better idea means you need to go with joining on bounty campaigns mate. There you need to share promotion works for them and finally you can get the tokens for working with them.
I hope you can make atleast half of the value when comparing with the token sale time value.
Check the white paper and then go with investing on any ICO projects mate.
Yes, I still continue to invest in ICO . I participated in about 20-25 projects, only one of them turned out to be unprofitable . And not one of them wasn't fraudulent . I'm lucky
Lack of confidence in ico because too many Ico scam and the most important role for investors should be more selective if they want to invest in ico..
If the concept really brings change and certainly worth making a place to invest maybe ico is still a trend..
In this case the market can not be predicted as accurately as possible if the bitcoin price is stable, then the altcoin price will always be green..

So if there is a lack of confidence in ICOs what would you suggest is the bet to invest in crypto projects rather than buying coins?
You have to choose good projects with high prestige such as a project associated with Arsenal team ----> CashBet. You can find out more about my signature
Initial coin offerings are one of the most profitable investments at this moment, people should invest in there if they want to make huge returns in a long term.
But, only those who have a big project and a good product are the only ones who are going to succeed in a long term.

Keeping the current market in mind is it worth taking risks investing via ICOs?
I think I need to invest in ICO, but this have to do it very carefully and necessarily studying projects.
I believe that ico is still profitable depending on the project that you are investing. Yes, there's high risk in doing so but in my case I only invest small amount as we always say "invest what you can afford to lose".
You may check this thread to at least lessen the risk in investing to ICO : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-identify-a-good-ico-to-invest-2248251 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-spot-a-good-crypto-ico-2745317
Regarding with the alternatives and current state of market which we can see slow movement in GREEN(good thing), quick trade to some altcoins check at least the top 50 coins in cmc or invest and hold to a cheap altcoin for at least a year (of course, do a research to ensure that you are picking a good one).

It is still worth to invest in ICO
It seems right now, the answer is "no"
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.

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?
It is still worth to invest in ICO

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. 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?
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.

the task becomes more dificultly
you need to choose from a thousand scam projects really promising and good progect.
I think the topic will be relevant for another 1-2f years.

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.
There are still a plenty of projects profitable in the long term. It just that it has become harder to find them.

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.
We do not know what happens in the future. We can only speculate when investing in ICO. Do not take the high risk of relying on luck. Take decisions with risks that are quite acceptable when the ICO is a scam.

I do not know what is on the minds of people who make negative news so many investors who do not want to invest in ico, it is very harmful to many people. for now it seems ico is still quite innovative, and when we jump into the world of crypto I think we should be ready to accept any market risks we always face.

There're some new alternative investments you can value. Some new projects are offering Smartphone Apps that generates token and have no ico or try to create a second offer. There are several altcoins that can be valued better than others if they offer Pow&Pos. So you've some alternatives on the table.
So far, there are no other alternatives to ICO. If you want to invest your money in something, and not to fear for them as if you invested in ICO projects, then buy coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, NEO, Litcoin and others.
Everyone hopes to correct the situation with the ICO. As soon as the market starts to level out, then investments in ICO will become profitable again.
Although I would not count on the same profit as in 2017.
Also interested in alternatives to the existing ICO. But nothing comes to mind.
It remains only to participate in the ICO. But it is necessary to choose projects with even greater care and caution.

I agree the ICOs of 2016 and early 2017 cannot be looked at in the same way as 2018 ICOs. So for those what want to invest in crypto related businesses what investment methods are out there or would you suggest?
The market started to recover, and maybe ICOs will be profitable again.
However if you invest, you should pick your ICOs correctly, with lots of research on the project!
