Well i do agree at some point and i do think in wider look into a product the virtual one is indeed a product its just like a market stock even though its different and its more into trust but the blockchain just make it transparant and trustable. I do believe we are still in early stages and crypto are keep developing and its true im one of the person that dream to be rich from the money that i invest in cryptocurrency and im trying to invest in the right startup and support it for a long term.

It's a risk only for those who are new to investing in ICOs as they most likely to still doubt and be afraid, while some were just lack of researches about the project they're trying to invest hence ending up being scammed.

And it would never a risk if you would really do look and seek further researches with the project and team's legitimacy, before investing in it.

ICO is risky because they are discouraging bounty hunters from prolonged ICO, delayed exchanged listing, and delayed token ddistribution. That is why a lot of people are now quitting in ICO because of this kind of situation.

The proliferation of scam ICOs is the reason why skme governments did not their citizens to take part in such kind of investment. Other governments that been allowing ICOs are now planning to regulate any initial coin offering in their countries to screen them and reduce the risk in investing on them. Investing on ICO is more risky than on IPO of stock market so you need to make a full research first.
ipo has been regulated by government with legality and laws, in contrast to ico, many ico only collect money from investors and eventually they run away. and now there are many like that

There is no business that has no risk, neither does the ICO business. This needs to be considered before you enter the world of ICO, which is the financial risk that you invest. Besides being able to provide very high profits, ICO also gave big money. As an example of the most fatal loss, ICO coin developers do not run the project in accordance with the initial plan or funds that have been collected by the developer. There is also no loss too much at the ICO price. This is due to a lack of interest in coins, prices cannot increase. Therefore ICO is at risk, not all ICOs will succeed or fail.

Now a days we have seen tons of ICOs coming without any product support so if you invested in those than you would get nothing out it. so before taking consideration of any ico you will have to do research of particular ico otherwise you will be in trap of risk.

If you notice very well, many of the ICOs currently running have extended their sales period. This is because they are yet to meet their targeted amount. People are now exercising great caution in ICO investment so that they don't get scammed by some fake ICOs.

We should definitely stay away from ico investments. Almost 90 percent of the projects are entering the market under the price of ico. This is actually an indication of how bad the market is.
if there are fewer and fewer who invest in ico, of course there are also fewer and fewer who need bitcoin, this happens because to invest they have to exchange it to btc. and indeed the price after listing is mostly dropped, so investors lose money, so they have to wait for more time to hold it back

The ICO now is become too risky because I see all project is not giving a good result in this year and many of them delay the project. I think many investor worries about this situation because they cannot make a profit in this year and they still asked the team when they can refund or start to sell the token so they can take their money back.

ICO Investments and ICO themselves were good last year as this concept was new and many good projects started from the ICO stage. But then evil tapped in and many people tried to collect money with scam projects and ICO. This is the main reason these days investments in ICO are very risky.

The biggest factor in my opinion might be law. Because the absence of a law for cryptocurrency makes this very risky. Because if we get hit by an ico scam, our money will immediately disappear. So the law is very important in my opinion. It's only the strongest in my opinion, actually because virtual and so on also become a risk. So this depends on your perception of seeing this. So if you want to invest in ico. Then you need to think carefully. That is all.
High risk and high profit, that's what some ICO project investors always say. Seeing the ICO project in the past year which is always promising for investors who invest in it, even though in that year the ICO project is still like the current year, there is no legal protection specifically to handle ICO projects.

However, each investor's income exceeds the income of investors at other investment places at that time. Then I just doubt, why is the project different from last year even though there is still no legal protection? might condition the market cryptocurrency that causes this to occur.

ICO investment is not risky as some people have tagged it. It becomes risky when an investor join blindly without any adequate information about the project and its ICO. The principle applies to every investment. It is therefore very necessary to study about the project before join their ICO.

Well, that maybe true but keep in mind that all the crypto currency top tiers today started out as an ICO. I still believe in ICOs in my humble opinion. It is just a matter of managing your risk simply by reading about the ICO you are entering in to. Most of the ICOs turn out to be crap coins but once in a while, we see ICOs with huge potential

Thank you for your sharing, this is useful information for investors. I have participated in several ICO projects but not luck in those investments. On the other hand, ICO this year is very different from 2017.ICO does not have any legal framework, so when fraud occurs, investors will not be protected by law, but must be responsible for their work. This is also what many investors are most concerned about when investing in ICOs.

You're right, but this is only half of the reasons. The other half is due to the fact that the market is down for almost a year since January. How could investors try their luck on ICOs when major coins such as bitcoin and especially ethereum are not doing well in the market. Let's wait until the market goes green and see the effects on ICOs.
when an ICO goes according to the roadmap they make, of course it will be a very good advantage for those who invest, and this has been a big advantage since the ICO was there. however, some ICOs are indeed very risky, because sometimes they are not in accordance with their roadmap, and can be a scam.

It's actually not that risky if you do lots of research.  Its risky for the idiots that throw money at anything that is hyped up with lots of advertising.

I agree. But then it has still risk but with enough knowledge that can be gained through research and such, the risk will be lessened. Not really eliminate but only lessened. Proper research is the key for you to avoid scams. You are just in risk if you are not smart enough and wise in making decision.
our decision must based on our research and observation.do not decided it based our feeling.if we dont, we could decided wrong thing.
