Many lost thousands of dollar, this is the darkest side of ICO, Never invest just because one of your friend suggest you to invest into.

For me I do support an ICO if I trusted them and my instinct is my best reference in every decision making but when I do I'll only invest a portion of my money that doesn't hurt me when an ICO failed.

The risk of you losing your investment on ICO`s is 90%, i think you should rather think hard enough before joining ICO.
Its not safe to join them since they dont have a money back guarantee or even return of investment.

Indeed, investing new ICOs today is very risky unless you know the people behind the project personally. You can actually invest but with a minimum of money that doesn't give you risk on losing.

ICO is always about risk because there is no guarantees. However in order to somehow secure your funds it is necessary to deepen in the available information. Read WP (about the sponsors, forecasts and market data), comments of other people, surf its social networks, explore pre-ICO history. Do not forget about questions that you can ask Community Mangers of the campaign.

The safest thing in participating ICOs are joining their bounty campaigns as we all did but when it comes to investing then that's another story. As of now all I can do is joining their campaigns and help them to be known as a good project as my support.

It's investment.
You invest for their project by buying their tokens and the value of tokens would be proportional to profit of the project.
Most of the ICO's are profitable as their price would increase on reaching the market.
But some of them are total scams which would lead your investment to nothing.
So, study about the project before investing.

The right answer .. it's like fishing you never know what fish you will catch until you do.. But you have to spend some worms

Absolutely. But, it's important to know where to invest by reading ICO Reviews. You can read all their reviews here:

I do not say that ICO are safe or not. It all depends upon where you invest. If you invest in the good project, then surely it is safe and lot of profitable, but if you invest in scam ICO (obliviously you will know know at the time of investment that it is scam), then surely you will lose all your hard earned money. So like these which give reviews on ICO are helping people to decide which is good and which is not good for investment.

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.

It's basically depends up on their project and you have to think like its gonna success or not. You are just investing for their project
Make yourself on studying the whitepaper and decide about investing on ICO.
I would say there are many real ICO that will make you profits from your investment. At the same time there are many SCAMS that will wipe your investment to lose

that's right, so many new ico's was born and mostly also scam or not successful projects that the result will losing your money. so should really analyze before you are sure to put money in ico's.

Actually it is depending on the ico if it is reliable or not because some of them are scammers. One of the example is cartaxi, They did not pay the correct amount to the users who participate in their campaign before and i am one of them.

It’s safe to participate but just like investment opportunities it also has the same risk as investment. We should how to do our own research if were planning to participate. Some ICO have the good concept and content which is the best option for you to participate. I think you should participate for some ICO that being managed by some bounty manager with the good reputation. You should considered also if that project have the potential to become successful at the end. Yes, that's right I also participated in their bounty and other rewards just transferred to other wallet which is not supposed to be transfer.

Not only reviews because some reviews are bad because companies will pay some money for reviews. So it always good to follows their ANN and all the channels where the team is communicating mostly. In order to get more and most news about the company in terms of development and their credibility.

Do some more research before you invest. Many lost profits because of haste. Many ICO's are safe and legit and you've become profitable if the ICO will succeed and get it doubled how much you invest but there's no guaranties if the ICO fails. All of investments has its own risk and you should know that. And of course you should be careful about scams. The More you research, the more its safe.

I am not an experienced investor, but in my opinion i don't think it is great to invest at the moment. Most of the tokens are decreasing in value, even the great and promising ICOs, yet some are not. Majority of the tokens are decreasing in value for which BTC value is continuously increasing. BTC have most of the investors right now that is why i think most ICOs only gets minimum target. Maybe just wait for some tokens to rise value then i think it is safe to invest by that time. But be careful in investing some ICOs look very trustworthy and have a promising project but in the end they are a scammers looking for victims.

some ICO's are pretty cool to participate in while some are just a mere scam, all you need to do before going for any ICO is to check the project critically if it worth investing in it inorder to be on safer side

thats is right mate,most of the ICO now are just scam.im wondering why still no regulation body that created to regulate ico before being in business..but for now best thing to do is be carefull on what your entering.study and research first the project for legitimacy and reliability thats the best thing to do for now.
