it could be posible mate that some ICO intend not to finish there projects and will turn into a scam. this really happened especially those you received from airdrops, because if there projects didn't reach there soft cap and they already giving airdrops to the community they will not going to continue the said project. but if you have coins that has no market value just hold it. maybe someday that coin will have a market value or they can find any big investor to invest with the said project.

depending on the ico. listing a coin in exchanges comes in different way. there are some exchange that demand for huge amount of money before listing your coin and there are some that does collect small money while some may be free. I think most ico this days do not want to list their coin on time especially when the coin is not an utility token. some of them will continue with their roadmap and list the coin if they discover they have reach certain level of rigidity.

Is there a possibility of a scam if my tokens have no value for 2 months? I already have the tokens for 2.5 months and they keep telling us that listing is a laborious thing to do. Is that a normal thing to happen when your coin doesn't have any value for 2.5 months now?
Too long you have to wait 2.5 months, forget that token, my friend. Because you lose time and material waiting for things that are not sure. try looking for information in a community like their telegram, ask for certainty about your token

I think it’s not normal, probably the developer is not focusing on the vision of their coin to be in exchanger maybe they have different plans so better you check with the team and ask about it. The very long period of time is too suspicious for the legit ICO and so it’s a 90% scam, how good the whitepapers or roadmaps they have but they didn’t do in action it’s no use just a piece of trash.  Embarrassed

2.5 months is still early to say that your tokens fall to be a scam.
I remember holding also for a long time (I'm bit sure if its longer than 2.5 months) but now that token is alive and kicking.
I still hold some tokens with no values for more than half a year but I still have my hope on some of it.
2.5 months is not too long and still much time to wait to make sure everything. Scam or not is not depending of the time. Every asset has its own roadmap which will explain when the asset hit the exchanger. Maybe till more than 1 year but its not many coin list till 1 year but just think the worst case which happen.

Well, 3 months is early. At least half a year (depending on the roadmap ofc) a product with mvp or -even better- a beta version application would tend to rise more quickly. A project with more research and development on the way would need more time to gain value.

Use different email like if you going to create an account in trading site or gambling

In ICO I think better to rely in their past movement then do invest after that like aion and lunch

We can also use 2FA for the safety of our money then try also a little investment only

Getting listed on a decentralised exchange with great repute takes a lot of preparation and time. It might be possible this particular project didn't plan ahead or haven't satisfied some required criterias. Be patient and see how it unfolds. It is too early to call them scam. Let their roadmap also guide you.

2.5 months is not a quite long time for tokens to not get listed. There were cases that some tokens had made their customers to wait for more than 6 months and at the end they delivered a good ROI.

That doesn't obviously mean that it's scam, but there is big chance that it's. More obviously that it's weak project and you need to get rid of their tokens so fast as you can. Analyse deeper, if this project realy have a future.

For sure it means the management did not have a clear listing plan and definitely wrongly timed their moves. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a scam...

When reading your post, I am sure you have joined the airdrop and received a Token from them, right? Most of the time, I can assert that all airdrop campaigns have the general purpose of collecting personal information, the crypto most of which have no value and are not indexed on trading floors unless it's an airdrop campaign for bounty members!

well. there are such cases that teams prefer to focus and spend their money on product and developments instead of getting listed their token. so it may not be a scam. you should check the team and search them more to be sure that they are scam or not.

Exactly, most specially when getting listed in an exchange cost huge amount of Bitcoin. That's where most of the ICO team get tempted to scam their investors or fake failure their project.
Usually 2 months would be considered a long wait for a certain coin to be listed on exchange, if the team is passionate with their project.

It happens that there are very non-responsible managers and team, and sometimes the project owners themselves are paying off, so you can understand why such delays or no payment!

be patient, many ICO's are have trouble to get listed in big exchange especially, they have to pay a lot of money to listing in exchanger..
in holding tokens it must be patient for exchange, 2.5 months is still very reasonable for a token waiting for the market, as long as the team is still moving it is marked hope still exist
They say that patience is a virtue, then I believed on that. I also have a token recently I am holding now, they keep saying that they are on alpha release so we need to wait more time for it. For 2.5 months is too early to declare that is a scam, you need to wait more months for what have done now, we don't have anything to do is just wait. Speaking of airdrop I don't expect on it.

actually about token,it's seems undefinied. even that free token from airdrop.
remember TME ? Timerium ?. and after token swap to elixir , some dust changed to gem.
for now, i also have many many token with zero value,but, if they/team say keep calm.
so what we can do ?

You didn't say what kind of project you are talking about. I know a couple of projects that collected money for ICO, then for a long time, they developed their own platform, and only after six months they listed the tokens to investors. Sometimes the way from investing money to getting tokens is quite long.
But maybe you fell into the hands of scammers and you have been fooled. Specify which project, then you will get a more accurate answer to your question.
