You have your own mind to use it and examine if an ICO is safe or not. There are a lot of scammy ICOs out there so your own knowledge will be your tool to determine if it is safe to participate.

I don't see any problem in participating in ICO's as long as you won't do anything to harm or ruined their project or company you are safe. You just have to follow on their rules and regulation to avoid problems. I believe that ICO's have same mission and visiin and they are just helping us too so in return we must be good to them too.

It is better to be more selective in choosing the projects you want to invest.
Safe or not no one knows.
You simply depend on luck to be profitable or not at all.

Right now there are many ICOs coming out, is it really safe to participate in any of it and spend that much? In participating ICOs I have high hopes that these coins could be the next Bitcoin or other currencies that are really going up in the market.
Its safe only if you are not in a rush to invest, if you rush investing into an ICO you might probably fall into a scam. Since you will be having all the time, I would recommend that you read up every reading material provided by the project before you can actually make an investment, this will help you understand the project better and familiarize yourself with team behind the project, it will further help you determine whether its safe to invest in that project or not.

All information on internet is biased.
Especially this forum is one of the worst place to ask this question, because this forum has the biggest number of people who want to make their currency's price up.
So, they only say a good part of the currency.

You should make a chance to take contact with the dev team through Slack or Telegram and so on.
And then ask a lot of question and find out that whether you want to invest in the project or not.

Do not believe what people say, but you have to believe in yourself.

Anyway, I think a project called PundiX has good future.
They are already running a business in QR code payment in Jakarta with more than 100 shops, so at least it is not hard for them to find their first customer.
And I met the CEO and he was very active and honest man, I thought I can trust him and put some money for his project.

I think it's safe if you study the ico project. do not directly invest your money. better study team, whitepaper, and project roadmap so you are right in choosing ico. wise in investing.

I think whenever we want to invest in a ico project, we always do research information about that project first through website and whitepaper, and see what reviewers said about that project, however we can not predict precisely is that project is safe, there will always a risk that we must accept.

It is not safe at all. First of all the owner of an ICO can just collect all money of participants and just disappear. The second thing is in the case if the project will not succeed you also will loose all of your investment.So, if you plan to invest in the ICO read carefully and chose only those one that is going be in demand by your opinion.

That's the risk that you will face when you are entering ICO, I know not every ICO becomes successful and you have to consider this thing first because the risk in ICO are very high. But some of the ICO that I support now are making good things in this industries, so you are lucky if you get into great ICO before.

Investing is an art and if executed correctly can turn into a masterpiece. Everybody wants their investment to be save but even more want it to be profitable. normally you cant have one without the other but if you do your research and understand the game properly then you can ultimately gain pure profit.

It depends on the ICO that you choose because there are alwalys some scammers and we dont know who are they so i suggest to be careful and research first before taking up a risk especially when it comes to investment.

Before participating in ICO, you should understand 2 things. The first, It is risky. The second, you have to wait at least 1 year to get profit, because the price of ICO project usually falls down after ICO. It will recover if this project is executed well.

Will be safe and profitable if you jump in to right and legit ICO. So to find potential ICO should be look for  some review first because make investing in it. Firstly we have to read their white paper to find detail information about personality of the team founder, study and understant the purpose of the project and what problem will be solved. And learn that idea is really can to solved that problem.

when we participate in new ICOs synonymous we are performing the risk of investment which can bring to a lot of profit and also can be lost all our money so it's not safe to participate in ICO if you want to safe the best should not participate in ICO

Latest ICO statistic is pretty bad. Is there any ICO in October (except Red Pulse) which made a positive result?
I participated in AirToken and AirSwap ICOs and they are in a huge minus. Of course, maybe they are not the best projects but quite solid.

These days, ico's aren't performing as well as they did in the past.  Many projects have dropped below their ico prices.  It would be better to just wait until they are listed on exchanges and purchase the tokens then.  Some projects however, do end up being very profitable in a short period of time.  Just do your research and you should be fine.

Nothing is really 100% safe when investing in an ICO.  What you need to do is access the risk and know what type of coin are you investing in.  You need to follow the whitepaper, roadmap, and if they have a plan, they would state it in the whitepaper.  Also, is the ICO unique and will it solve a problem in the cryptoworld.

Of course not, since it is an investment which is not tangible in any manner. But I guarantee to you that if you invest to the right ICO it would be worth it. I suggest that before investing in any ICO, read their materials and analyze them as much as possible. Make sure that their tokens would be useful in the near future like bitcoin which revolutionize remittance and ethereum which develop smart contract. Atleast the token you invest are like them, with useful characteristics.
