Topic: Is it safe to participate in ICO's? - page 35. (Read 15597 times)
If it not safe, then why are you here? Just looking around? Getting some information? Do you think, many people come here and join the ICOs if they're not safe? It is not safe if the project ask you to give them money in exchange of your registration to their project. That might be a scam
Even having full confidence in the project, you may not know what behavior will be in the future. Many people argue and this leads to the collapse of the ICO, and entire companies. Therefore, the risk is always there.
I think that it the same, as the majority of types of investments, some of them can be successful and lawful while others, as a rule, fail unexpectedly or worse, it can be swindle. I think that ICO has more risks, than investments into bitcoins as far as I observed here at forums therefore invest at own risk and be convinced that at first study its background.
It is safe if you pick the right project which you could learn by reading their white paper and road map and make sure they have working product and strong team behind the project.
Yes, it is safe as long as you'll take note of the red flags.
Beware of of over-usage of buzzwords for the ICO. — Scam ICOs like to confuse the backers
by including lots of buzzwords, like blockchain, AI, marketplace or even invent their own terms when not needed.
They also tend to promise investors outrageous returns that are too good to be true.
Token sale & Subscribers are faked. — Successful ICOs like to show their token sale progress
by displaying their token sale address prominently, since it’s free marketing for them. Scam ICOs, on the other hand,
tend to hide their token sale progress by giving individual contribution addresses so that no one knows how much is actually raised.
Fake LinkedIn Profile, Fake Advisors. — Many scam projects now make an effort to do up a proper LinkedIn profile,
so you have to scan their profiles carefully. Look at their experiences and see if they have relevant qualifications
and check out the companies which they work at previously.

yes it is safe as long as you do your research and study that certain ICO because you never know if it is a scam ICO or not so by doing you research you can avoid being a milking cow
ICO should be one of the most risky forms of financing in the world. It contains a lot of uncertainty and there is no clear law blank in any country.
However, ICO is the world's largest investment method with the largest short-term profit-making probability.

Yes it is safe but bear in mind that ICO investing is not like it was last year ending and early this year, we are in ICO winter, SO only go for solid projects for me I only go for infrastructure projects
this topic os very timely, altough it is created as 2017. participating on ICOs is risky and safe at the sme time. It always depends on the project developer and the team. choosing it wisely is veru important as well as reading as many facts about the project. you cannot just join in an ICO right away without knowing important details ablut it.
Too many people jump into ICOs and get burnt. People need to do a ton of research on them, the team, the goal, if they are unique, etc. Otherwise they will be wasting away their hard earned money.
here will always be risks in any business venture. Participating in ICO’s is not exempted from these risks. The risk factor is actually high in ICO investment. 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 the team behind the project, it will further help you determine whether its safe to invest in that project or not.
Depends on what ico are you participating and what team are behind it , like everyone should do is research the team , company and probably read the whole white paper aswell
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.
Do you mean by participating is investing?Well it is not really safe because you can't guarantee that the Ico will become successful also some ico are scam so better to have more knowledge about the ico you want to join. So be careful in investing it's too risky.

I believe that there is almost no such thing as safe in the world of investment. There will always be risks in any business venture. Participating in ICO’s is not exempted from these risks. The risk factor is actually high in ICO investment. But as many would say, we wouldn’t know if we won’t try. And so we have to be bold enough to face these risks in order for us to have a chance of gaining.

It is not safe, totally not. If you just follow ICO blindly, not reading anything like whitepaper, then you are in close proximity with scam.
On anther note, to evade such unfortunate event, read their whitepaper. But do be careful still, many scam projects have laid out quite the impressive and convincing whitepaper. Having said that, not all scam are prepared with crappy proposals.
On another note, it is best to follow same dev team that you have worked and trusted before. In this manner you can really say that it is safe to participate.

I feel safe, because as long as I follow ICO everything is safe and I get the profit from the ICO.
You have to examine ICOs before you invest in it. Take your time, study such ICO closely, join their telegram group and other social media channels available so that you can get update concerning the ICO.
Participating in ICO is something between and investment and a gamble. In the past you'd partecipate in ICOs hoping for a rapid increase in price once the tokens hit the market. Lately the token's price tanks after hitting the exchanges, so that it becomes more convenient to buy them there instead of at the ICO.
A lot of ICO's can disappear after they get certain amount of money, so you should think before investing
Only invest what you are willing to lose. Dont put your money all in one basket. Proper financial planning is important in every investment we make. Try looking in in SafeCrypt.io. A high security exchange that has high standards of quality and every piece of software is being tested multiple times before they make it publicly available.
I spent some time to study SafeCrypt ICO. I think this ICO could become one of the best this spring, because of several reason:
1. This is cryptoexchange. And this cryproexchange has some advantages compare to existing ones: instant transactions, lowest fees, absolute anonimity, large select of crypto assts and others.
2. They lead very good ICO policy.
3. THey have Adequate and reasnable bonus rates.
