It's a form of investment if you invest or participate in the ICO. Now its up to you if you believe to their project, I know there are lot of community here in this field of industry got their profit from the different ico they've join before or even til now they're still doing investing it including myself I just did it as an investment food.
Uhm, I think we should not let the op invest to uncompetent ICO, so instead of letting him do what he believes to invest lets just help him choose the legit and potential ICOs. I'm not into these kind of investments (ICO investment to be exact) I advised that the op should reconsider his decision on investing at ICOs because it can't guarantee your returns or profit.
yeah i agree with this one , choose and research about the ICO , their concept , their team and read the whitepaper and search for their ICO review on youtube or major magazines like forbes or cointelegraph.
great man , i agree , investment at ICO is not guarantee you can get profit from investment at ICO , ICO not promising you will got profit but if you choose a good project ICO , and their token was have a good potential for long term hold , you will get huge profit but not all ICO have a good potential for the token , after their ICO complete , a lot ICO not running their roadmap and make their token was under ICO price and hard for pumping.
