Topic: IS there any ICO rating websites we can trust. - page 9. (Read 7555 times)

How an idiot person, investing because of third parties platform/shilling influencer. You should know the reason why you put your money on the project, ICO Website review not gonna help you for your investment, use your own due diligence and speculate by yourself after that decide if you think the project has a potentially successful project invest on it if not then avoid it.

An investor like this, just like a fish waiting to bait with their promise from the project or other things, I don't know why everyone cant makes their own due diligence if you can't do it that better avoid invest to an ICO project.

Most of ICO Review Score are getting paid to give a good score, some of them participate at the bounty program too.

Never trust any ICO rating website, they only guide you to research more.  Well the likes of ICODROPS and ICOBENCH have been cool over time, but it doesn't mean they don't do paid ratings, you should do proper personal research before making decision on buying in any ICO, IEO, STO or any form of token sale to avoid regrets.

yes, it never existed, if it existed and was trusted, I am not sure that ICO will attract investors. especially after many successful IEOs.
most ICO rating sites have collaborated with projects that will be launched on the site, and it is very easy to get high retention. so we can't believe that.

Of course there are good cryptocurrency review sites. I mostly use icodrops.com and icobench.com although the first is more sophisticated and they are good places to start. But if you want a more elaborate review, then you can join some quality Telegram groups I know. @Cryptodiffer and wolfcrypto (@WolfCryptoAnnounce) .Even some Top project CEOs do host AMAs there

I usually don't consider ICO rating websites analysis when making my decision whether or not to get into a project and that is because most of these ICOs rating websites opinion are biased and driven by money, so they rate any project that can pay well high and rate those that didn't pay low or average. But the only ico website that I think still has integrity is Icodrops. 

Almost all so called "ICO advisors" get paid in tokens or some other kind of lucrative deal (you promote me in return I'll promote your coin, etc.)

so you have to do your own independent due diligence instead of relying on any rating agency...

Its hard to believe those ico ratings site as the site owners can be bias or those who's participating from the reviews are also part of the projects or a paid
reviews that can easily be done, it's best to do your research instead of finding site where you can read writeups, you can only use it as a tool to assess
the potentials of the projects but not to completely relied on it.

But icobench is reported as a worst ICO rating websites ( i read this in one post here), they listed a scam projects, that projects passed KYC and with high rating. do you agree with this?

Initially when I was a newbie in the crypto space, I relied so much on their so called expert advice whenever I wanted to invest, but I have been dealt with severely and I experienced my greatest lost when I invested in doctailor by following their ridiculous ratings. It was after my sad episode that I came to the realization that most, if not all ratings are paid for by these project organizers.

For now I, I will say go up on icobench, look around but do your own indepth analysis and due diligence.

I know there is crypto rating which is where you could find some reviews about ICO and tokens, but i really don't recommend you to take anyone's review and just decide yourself whether the project is worth investing in or not, because these all could be manipulated and  they could be just a scam,  so read the white paper and look up the development team and read about the project in forums and see if people think of it before investing.

No, not really (you have to consider it from the operators perspective).

Scenario 1, they get paid to list the ICOs and rate them.

Scenario 2, they get paid for ads on the page and do not care to do proper due diligence on the ICOs they list, just to get user hits and the more the merrier.

Scenario 3, they charge for investment advice (if they were so good at investing, they would not need to sell advice).

Scenario 4, they are a straight shill operation just praying you are dumb enough to buy into any of their ICOs so they can steal your bitcoin or other liquid crypto like Litecoin or Ethereum.

Scenario 5, close to scenario 4, they are buying into low liquidity ICOs early hoping to sell you their shitokens at a higher price.


I would say you have to think like a venture capitalist when considering ICOs and even then it's a long shot, invest in the people not in the vision but also make sure the vision makes practical sense.  Likely the only ICOs to hold any weight for long are going to be product centric from here out (think of products like BNB Binance Coin).

As far as pure value pyramid goes, it hardly makes sense to invest in any other Bitcoin and give it 10 years for 'huge' returns.  I say 'huge' because even 100% over 10 years is huge by traditional standards, it is not likely to beat 6% over a decade per year in the Stock Market or Real Estate, certainly not in precious metals, certainly not in bonds.

Happy Hunting.

In my opinion, ico rating is not sufficient for investing on ico. There are many ico rating website where many people are giving positive ratings for some money. You should choose and analysis best one.

I don't believe in the ico rating on the website because not all of them are correct and provide a lot of inaccurate data, even some people give feedback.

This sentence is very important and i hope every one understand that  even if the team is not intending to scam anyone there's no guarantee the project will be successful.

Ico rating websites are managed by people who often take money from projects in exchange for good ratings on their website. This means that the ratings are biased and cannot be fully trusted.
The same thing can be said about influencers
The best thing is to do your own research

Don't look for the other website who have ratings on ICO because mayne it is not right or accurate. You can rate all the ICO you want because you have own decision and thinking about what ICO will going to success. But now don't think about ICO think about IEO who is more better than the ICO right now. But if you have website you trust just do check it.

I used to think that some of the top ICO rating websites were trustworthy. After all, many have an automatic evaluation, and that cannot be faked, right?
Well after working for an ICO project for 3 months, I think otherwise. Most of the websites are rubbish. They are happy for new projects to be added and happy to give good rates in exchange for potential traffic/their logo on ICO's website. Another problem is that automatic reviews don't mean much. It's pretty easy to fulfill the requirements by adding lots of info about the project and get a good rate with a simple and potentially dangerous for investors project. And expert rates, just like views, comments, articles and many other things can be bought. ICOs are very risky, even if the team is not intending to scam anyone, there's no guarantee the project will be successful. And there's no website that can help with that.

In fact, until recently, I trusted some ICO rating websites. But I don't believe it anymore. I think they can all be manipulated for a good amount of money.

The ico site that is trusted does exist, just isn't fully trusted, because a trust can change by itself, and I've seen an exchange site that has started to be trusted but by suddenly becoming a scam, this is what makes each site not fully trusted in crypto space.

in fact, it is public secret that ICOBENCH's rating cannot be fully trusted. As far as I know you can pay ICOBENCH to raise the rating of your Project (or a certain project), besides that you can contact ICOBENCH "Members" who have been verified to at least give a good assessment of your project.

People (including me) prefer ICODROP because as far as I know they don't charge any rates in giving ratings. (At least that is stated on their page).


Even so, I personally DO NOT BELIEVE 100% rating from anywhere .. it's just one benchmark (not standard) for me in assessing the project
