if the case is like that, it would be more profitable to buy it when the coin has entered the stock because the price is much cheaper than the ICO even if compared to the bonus obtained by investors, it would still be more profitable for the person who bought the coin after entering the market and unfortunately if this continues, the invader will not be interested in ICO anymore so I hope that the developer also prioritizes investors because investors make their projects grow
Topic: Is ICO investment still worth it? (Read 112648 times)
In our modern world today of course theres no hiding the fact that there are many new way or style of hackers just to steal funds especially in terms of digital funds. All spouting new token projects conducting ICO after launch are not all legit, some are just scam so better research first before investing to them.
ICOs are not as easy money as they were used to be in 2017.
The token economy took a Ponzi ride at that time where issuer and early investor got profit on any coins leading to a pyramid scheme affecting the late buyers.
At current time the market has matured so the investors are selective in choosing the right investment option. If you are able to identify the project you need, you'll still be in profit buying an ICO.

Fundraising through ICO is almost dead, only top projects are able to collect enough money for the further development. At the moment, it worth participation in IEOs.
ohh, June 2018 (your discussion was created) last year everything was not so bad compared to the beginning of 2019, but the prices were already falling and it was not the best time for investing .. what can be said about now? I would highly not recommend investing in ico (however, there are no decent ones now - they hid) ... save your money, take a look at the market and forget about ico for a while - this sector is undergoing some changes now and is, to put it mildly, in decline.
Depend how kinds of ICO project did you participated for investing, many kinds of ICO but not all could give you profit and you can start investing your money and trusted ICO with manage by trusted team and owner.
No, instead wait for the token to be listed on an exchange then buy it except you are willing to risk your money. Also, exchanges are heading towards IEO to replace ICO, I think it's more transparent but the chances of investing is small because of the large number.
Every investment is worth it especially icos investment, but we really need to know 100% about that project (Team, product) everything about roadmap and dont lazy to read whitepaper because in whitepaper we can get all important information about that ico's project.
Nowadys i think no, but if you want to invest in ICO's project and HOLD it for at least 2-3 years i think your investment guaranty make a profit. Because if you invest now, i'm sure when the token listing in exchange, the price dump because of bounty hunters. But the best you need to know, before you invest make sure you research the project.
As long as we can choose good ICO, everything will be profitable, poor market conditions have made over 95% of ICOs unable to reach softcaps, so be selective in choosing ICO that is profitable.
That is the difficult part. Even projects that are supposed to be good because they have excellent use cases and managed excellently are tanking. You cannot find a good ICO to invest right now. Even if you have, you are still not assured it will have a good market price after. You can risk for a good ICO but you should be willing to tank it long term. 
Don't stop investing in the ICO because not all ICOs fall when they enter the market.
True, but only few succeeded so far. And this is our challenge to look for projects that have great potential. We certainly have a lot of investment experience. So we must be smart to invest. Keep fighting because ICO investment still has big profits.
Not only a challenge for us, but also a challenge for the team behind the project, they need to prove to the people their worth as the ICO reputation really looks bad lately, and we cannot deny that since most ICO did not reach their required amount to raise and some are also scamming investors. 
For the past two months almost all the ICOs i have invested when they get listed on exchange, they are reduced by about 300% of the price i bought it. Those who buy after the ICO tend to gain more profit than we the early adopters. Now am confused whether i should continue with ICO investments or stop. Guys what do you think
Investing in ICOS projects now I think is still valid but we must choose quality ICOSs. Therefore, we should carefully analyze the ICOS project when participating in because ICOS projects are a scam so much makes us mistakes when investing. I believe that When the crypto market recovers ICOS projects are very profitable.

in my opinion yes, but not all, because now there are many ICO that fail rather than success, so before you invest in ICO, you must look at the ICO project, if the project is good for the future, so I'm sure investing in the ICO will definitely provide profit (although it takes a long time to get a profit).
Yeah there are many fail ICO rather than the success one, if you check it 1 by 1, it's like 90% of all ICOs are failed and not reached the softcap.It's really sad to see that because in 2016-2017, there are many success ICOs on that era, not like right now.

Yes it is still worth it but in a condition that people should be patient and very well oriented on how to choose and consider a good ICO, but in my case, what I am doing is to let people join it, then I will see their community if active and very well oriented. In that case, I can say the project is legit and have a high chance of succeeding.

In today's market situation, I would not invest in new ICO. A lot of developers have realized that this is a good way to get a lot of money. Many do not even want to develop their product and bring their cryptocurrency to the exchange. And since the cryptocurrency does not receive good financial support from the developers, it quickly loses its value.
My dear, don't be discouraged. You should only learn from your past mistakes. Not all ICO coins will turn out to be good, you can make profit from others while you run at a loss too. Its a two way affair and you should be ready to take these risks.
still worth it but really hard to find which one that worth to invest or not
many ico just come and get the fund then after listing on market the project not even start

Once, I made a mistake and invested much in the project that later turned to be a total scam. Yes, my hope was to get much money, and I was too greedy. The result was a loss of money. You have to be very cautious to choose and ICO.
It is difficult to find a profitable ICO, we should even be aware that more than 90% of ICOs are scams, always knowing the information of the team and the project is important so that we are not exposed to a scam.
Yes, everyone is ready to work only on good projects. We have to spend too much time every day to promote fraud projects. We hope to make a profit. However, we just waste time.
