Topic: Investing in ICO, still promising? - page 59. (Read 20594 times)

Investing into ICOs then was very promising, but now the ICOs are 90% scam, which makes the promising ICO not to be known or visible and brings a big loss to the investors at the end of ICO.

I think yes, there are still promising ICO's. Though it is so hard for us to tell if it was really a scam so let us just be aware of something like a too good to be true project that has nothing to show but sweet promises. Actually I am new to participating in ICO's but the thing is if the said project turns out to be a scam I only wasted my time not my money. The only complicated thing is when we are using our own money to invest in a scam token but I think we can still dispatch it early like a week after it was listed on exchanges for us to make profit before it will become a scam.

Some are Scam some just don't get what they wanted to happen to their Token after the ICO. Must conduct heavy research when investing your money on an ICO to lessen your second thoughts. try trading instead mate!

I've been participating in some ICO's since I am also just new to this things but as of now I n have not yet gained from it. Anyway I have high hopes that instead of ICO's it will be better to participate in airdrops which will not require any investment but will only require campaigns or luckily no requirement at all just free.

I haven't had an experience investing in ICO, but I want to try it in the near future if I already have enough earnings. This thread can truly help me in continuing my hopes to invest in ICO's and upon reading, a lot of opinions that really has points to considerate, it's really up to my decision whether I should still push my intention to invest in ICO. 

It really is all about being careful. Investing in an ICO is no different to investing into the stock market. There will be losers and winners.....always.

RISK versus RETURN is what its all about. People invest into ICO's to make a bigger return than they would in safer investments.

The higher the RISK the possibility of a higher return is greater. That works both ways however.

Simple rule - don't invest in anything that involves RISK is you cannot afford to loose it all!

I would like to point out the climate has been changing.
Countries have started to reject them.
This can lead to price drops etc.
It is a growing danger to continue "investing" in ICO's.

I think ALL of them are scammy but i posted this to be honest.
Even if i accepted them i would still have to say the same thing.. dangerous !

Yes there are some ico's are still promising but some ico really sucks it will get listed on exchanges below ico price but patience is the key if you want to join ico and research will help you out

I am very new to crypto world i just started trading altcoins in different exchanges and i found there is lots of ICO happening where i can get coins even cheaper before hitting into market . So in early investment is profitable for good projects.

Yes there are scams, but the majority are crap. There are 3 kinds of ICOs. Read:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/3-kinds-of-icos-protect-yourself-2243157

Yes you can earn from ICOs specially if you are one of those bounty hunters but if you are going to invest your hard earned BTC, better think twice or more. ICOs became an easy way to earn money nowadays, they come with good white paper, good team but what about the plan? Is really feasible? Is it really workable? How long will it take to materialize? ICOs are popular because its like easy money both for investor and project owner but its hurting the name of crypto currency in the long run.

It's promising but you really have to do your homework. A lot of scams out there, you can't rely on anything that you see advertised on Google Adwords or Redit for example. In the future much more research will need to be taken, with an increase number of ICOs the market will not be able to make every scam succeed like is currently happening.

There are many icos that have nothing like that and yet they get huge financing from the community thanks to the fact that many do not care where they put their money as long as it gives profits and if a project is generating noise around the community then they invest.

Yup.. the final word yet again by guess who ?
I tend to do that here LOL

Guys you are ignoring far too much and it relates to you so called "investments"
Little do you realize i am trying to help you and make you money.
You reject what i say to perpetuate a scammy scene ..because it's the easy way out.
But the consequences are dire.
AND ...you are missing out on what could be.

You are all little kids and noobs eating cake for dinner every day.
Good luck with that.

In case you don't get it i am driving at the obvious fact that *ALL* ICO's are scammy pointless garbage.
And yeah even 99% of the so called "mined" coins as well.
Problem is you will if i badger you enough for a reply will say to me..
"Well, Spoetnik.. how do we make Bitcoin profits then ?
Maybe the answer should be you don't.. or.... or you do at a later date (not impatient greedy bullshit on scammy crap)

The writing is on the wall and the outcome is obvious.
ICO's are scammy and it's blatant.
But you all mostly go silent and ignore this simple fact or make futile silly attempts at defending bad.
For short term Bitcoin (cash/FIAT) profits ASAP !
You want Bitcoin and you want it now.. and ideaology is sure as hell not going to stand in your way.
Neither is coding..

You were suppose to come to the Altcoin scene to 1 up Bitcoin by making something better.
Not.. fabricating a block-chain cloning template system scam + token tacked on (such as scammy garbage like ETH)

You were suppose to make something better than a block-chain.
You did the opposite.. you often simply made ledgers.

Why was mining implemented by Satoshi again ?
You were suppose to figure out a better system.. AKA: INNOVATION.
You didn't.
You dropped and abandoned mining in favor of ICO coins  

Full speed ahead in reverse huh guys ?

Me ? I give up.
I can't stand you people and i tried.. BTC is roughly 8 years old.
It's all a failure.
All we learned from this is people are greedy pieces of shit.
And that something like Bitcoin makes a wonderful new age variant of an old pyramid / ponzi scheme system.

You will in fact reap what you sow people.
Enjoy.

That is like saying if a pyramid scheme has a "good team" then it's legit.
You are ignoring what it is and how it works.

There is no such thing as a legit ICO.
They violate the core ideology of crypto for one thing.
No dev's need any money.. they can post their coin idea if they can't afford to code it themselves.
If its good someone will make it.. with out having their hand out for a quarter billion dollars in Bitcoin *up front*

Further more no ICO has had any degree of success.
The most they have accomplished is a price increase (via manipulation and pumps)
Which has nothing to do with the goal now does it ?

Keep crying and chanting the *some* mantra 

Very good campaigns and projects also do not guarantee a good price in the market, I see all ico look the same and it makes no difference, for this year ico much impressed instantly because the distance between promotion and ico is very short and even one month, some investors surely interested but finally get the fact, price is very down after entering the market. I have not found the right formula to choose the right ico.

It can only be promising if you are investing into the right project. It is not just about investing into ICO, it is about finding a promising project with the right team that you can be sure will make your investment worth it.

I know it is hard as not everyone have the time to make research and most people always feel at least, if I can nail 10 ICOs, 8 of them should be profitable without proper analysis. For sure, there are really great projects out there but you just have to be sure you are dipping your hands into the right soup.

I think most of the ICOs currently are SCAMS but if you can find a legitimate project then ICOs still are the most promising and most profitable way to invest in any project. Just look for projects which have a working product as chances for the ICOs to be legit are high.
Look for projects which have a unique concept and a very strong development team.if you can find a good ICO, then high returns can be expected within small time interval.

Yes, you can say right, investing in large ICO projects can be profitable but not all projects are good and you can make a lot of money. Many ICO projects are not well-developed, making investors unprofitable, even fraudulent. Today, ICO projects appear so much but its quality is not guaranteed, many inexperienced investors will be very easy to lose. You need to find out and consult people thoroughly before deciding to invest in some ICO to safer and get more profit.

So if it gets listed basically its legit ?
Not sure how to explain how fucking god damn stupid your comment is.
Want a million examples ?
Paycoin or LEO Coin sound familiar ?

You NOOBS really are fucking scammy little idiots.. that know better.
