Topic: ICO with proven business or ICO that start from zero? You pick! - page 3. (Read 844 times)

You should probably diversify your portfolio to emcompass some ICOs which have a proven business model and a working product, and others that are promising but do not yet have anything tangible on offer that can be used.

The risk of investing in vaporware is extremely high, but can be rewarding.

E.g. EOS i believe is something that has a clear roadmap, but its software probably isn't ready just yet and main net launch is still some time away. But I would still invest in them. But Enjin coin etc. even though they've got an established business, the upside is small and i would not personally invest in them.

Many people will choose ICO with a proven business because it seems more reliable.

I think that in most cases it is. But there are good ideas for new projects that can bring a very good income without any business at all.

It really depends on your preferences, there are many people that prefer to invest in icos that have not done any work whatsoever, while there are other people that prefer to play it safe and prefer to invest in icos that have a project developed already, both approaches have their pros and cons and you must decide what type of investor you are and in which type of projects you will like to invest.

considering over 90% of icos will perish due to never completing their dreams and talk white paper I will avoid any that do not have a product in at least beta form that has a proven use case that can not easily be achieved with btc or eth.

"Going big" on an ico that starts from zero is a terrible choice.
I'm not going to say the cliche, "Because it's risky!"
I will give you a more practical reason:

In order to get substantial profit from an ico with no development, you will have to hold onto it for an extended period of time.
And ICO that has a working product or a product that will go live within a month after ICO has tremendous liquidity and demand.
You will be able to sell for a profit really easily in short amount of time.

And here is the important part: in order to gain huge profits through investing, it's not about just investing and waiting for 1000% gains, it is all about increasing the volume and value of your assets.
There is no buy one, hit the moon, and lambo that many people hope for.
You can not put a couple thousand into a coin and expect to be a millionare in a couple years.
Instead you should be focusing on increasing the amount of btc or eth you have (the 2 most readily convertible cryptos into cash)

So, you will find that you will get more profit by investing in an ico with a working product, selling quickly for profit, then reinvesting into another project.
Your capital will skyrocket faster than just "going big"

I prefer projects starting from zero.
Scams are more often there but also the chances for quick rise and getting x5-x10 are much bigger than investing in already developed business.

Yeah ICO's are on trend nowadays and they have got also problems regarding regulations in some other countries that is why they find it hard to make a move freely. Some other websites and social media are now restricting people to post something like an ICO promotion so marketing is really that hard for the team. So for me I have to obviously choose an ICO with a proven business since they were already known or maybe they have something to prove, show to the investors and advertisers who wants a safer and sure way of investments than those ICO's that started from zero but that really depends on every individual to choose or on how they might evaluate and see a potential towards the said ICO.

Gamble is betting on something that you don't know.
Invest is betting on something in something you know due to your dilligence

On security, real projects are better, less chance for a scam. But there are very interesting projects from zero with great perspective.

ICO is not only about looting your money, there are thousand of developers out there who are working hard day and night to make their project live.

i think ICO is the boon for such developers.

ICO is a speculative game. Is it not a gamble to invest in ICO?
People don't like these ICO projects, they just want to win.

From my experience it is better to invest in ICOs with a working business model or product already rather than start-up.Start ups take your money,start working and realize it isn't easy,then they start giving investors excuses and if you are unlucky you never hear from them again.In any case always do the appropriate due diligence before investing with anyone.

For me, it is good to invest in the ICO on which have a proven business because we know that there is a active team behind it that makes there project become successful in the future and there is a lesser chance that it will be turning into scam unlike the ICO on which is going to start because we doesn't now if they are serious in their project that makes every investors doubt if they are investing on it.

I'm sure you have a great experience in investing in several ICO. Would you mind to share some of the ICO that you have invested in?

I also think that a proven business is much safer than an ITO from scratch. But there are times when an entirely new project, which has a good idea, but has no money for its implementation, is very interested in me. In this case, I will chat with the team and I will invest in such an ICO

It is always great to invest in an ICO with a ready-to-use product. Although sometimes there are ideas which are worth supporting. I think that sometimes people start an ico without a product because they are afraid that smb will be more bold and start an analogical project.

I'm ok with a fresh product as long as it fulfills my simple criteria. 1)Does it have a real world product? 2)Does it solve a legitimate problem that affects a good percentage of the population?
