I only did a few ICOS, and sadly all of them failed, in terms of price, if you do not count the bull run. I still hold all of them,,, and they are always moving ahead with development but I have been disappointed in general because none of them are things I can really use. So I learned my lesson about these things and this year only took in tokens that I can earn from instead of just using, like so-called security tokens, for dividends.
What makes me sad is those scam ICOs or projects that do nothing, made people money. Like EOS. Come on.

My main problem that I don't have any patience at all. I sold TNT before the pump, I sold MTC right before the pump( So choose wisely and have patience.
From the few times I invested in ICOs, no one gave me a big profit, maybe only around 10-30%. But behind that I actually experienced a high failure until I lost almost 50% because the ICO I had invested became helpless after entering the market and making everyone do a dumper.
Tierium and WeTrust. I thought they would be big. They are project that does not compete with BTC or ETH , but could make crypto more useful. SO I thought they would be on top 100 for a long time and decided to not sell when BTC hit 16k. Each of them has passed 100 MM marketcap in that time. And I would have won 1000x times what I have invested. Unfortunately today they worth less them the ICO price and could hit Zero as they are traded in almost none exchange.
Just read this article about ICOs and their history - http://cryptofinance24.com/the-first-icos-a-history-of-crypto-fundraising-p410-171.htm
Made me wonder, what are your ICO success stories and your failures? What has been your most successful investment, where have you lost the most etc?
Want to hear some tales.
Let's go..!
my experience of ico success that I followed was populous from last year, it was the most ico that made me get a big profit. but my ico failure is spherical ico. where the ico did not reach the target and the funds from all investors were returned. this can be a learning for us in how it can be used as an experience.

I also have joined some ICOs projects but I still have not gotten profit because most of them are dumped. I am still waiting for the recover of the market. Anyway, I still feel lucky because there is no scam because before investing, I must check the team carefully. Even your projects are good or not, if their team has experience and knowledge well, they can help the project ICO successfully
I only invested on 2 ICO's so far.
1. a casino site which open ia crowdfund last year, I would say so-so performance, I was expecting it to be big however, I was a bit disappointed.
2. A trading platform this year, too many hypes surrounding this exchange, but failed or missed schedule and the price didn't bounce back as expected.
So I guess the bear season has really something to do why my second ICO investment didn't turn out to be huge, but its a lessons learnt for me.

I ever invested in several ICOs like flixxo, and this project is difficult answered like trading, I am wrong in strategy, I do not update information and charts, so I sell it at a very cheap price.
in the end, I was disappointed, because at the end of 2017, flixxo reached the highest value of $ 1.

Any more stories here?
my successfull ICO thats get huge profit is pundix and auto, my biggest fail is bankera..ICO in this end off year not have much interesting point anymore
I'm very conservative when it comes to giving money to someone. I'm doing deep research of every project I'm interested investing in. So far it has worked out for me. I have taken part of 4 ICO-s and all of them have pocketed me some good returns.
my stories aren't that great.. failures, failures everywhere.. lol, but seriously.. have participated in i think 6-7 icos, lost couple of grand and only one of them has delivered what they promised. that might be my own mistake and not doing the homework.. but still there are lots of icos that fail to meet the expectations.. do your homework boys and girls!
My story began with an investment experiment in one of the ICO that I won't forget,the initial entry of the exchange was balanced and right at the target token value of the project then after 3-4 months it changed and even exceeded the 10x profit I didn't expect to be successful there but that happened.
I have only taken part in one ICO, it was Thought (THT). This one remains to be seen, where it gets me. Although, everything seems ok right now and the team looks solid as well. Hopefully, they will deliver 
Interesting read here, thanks for the thread.

My first success story for ICO is pundi x, good price than ICO price and mangement dev is working so good in marketing and publishing, my biggest fail is bankera..go hell with bankera its suck
But for the current market situation, ICOs would have performed better this year. Anyway i still see this as a way to clear out the mess and ensure only te good ones remain. Credits and LYMPO have been an awesome project for me this year.
On the other hand people are afraid of ICOs because of numerous scams and fails. Even worthy projects remain without investments

I have not invested in many icos and as you may guess my experiences are not very positive, I have lost money with every single one of them so I came to the point in which even if I think that there is a lot of profits to be made in the market of icos, right now I am not ready to keep investing in this market because it's very likely that I'm going to keep losing money.
