Looking to invest 1 btc in some good running ICO which is legitimate and has good potential.
Do not suggest any ico just because you are a part of their signature campaign.Give a good reason please that why you think it is a good investment opportunity.
Then why are you part of a signature campaign? Are you phishing for views?
You can make your search far easier if you filter out the majority of coins. It's easy to do this with 2 simple filters:
1) Does the project have anything built? No? Move on. Forget about their big teams and fancy titles. Most projects have these and they cannot prove that they can build anything. Writing software is much more difficult than creating a one-page website or video. Several projects raised multiple millions and still haven't delivered any software.
EOS raised $200 million and said that they were going to release something by end of summer. Nothing yet.
Gnosis raised $12.5 million and their website says that they are releasing their game by first half of 2017. Nothing yet.
Qtum raised $15.6 million. I don't see anything produced on Qtum's website.
After raising $50 million, Cosmos's website is still pitching its white paper. Come on. What have they produced with that $50 million?
MobileGo raised $53 million. Here's the roadmap from their white paper:
May - June: Gamecredits Mobile Store Public Launch
May - June: Gamecredits accepted for mobile store games and in- game content purchases
July - August: first centralized tournaments on platform
However, I don't see any of that on their website. They're mainly bragging about how their token is on exchanges. What are they doing? Day-trading their own token?
2) Is the team from a corrupt country? Yes? Move on. In corrupt countries, ethics and honesty are more lax, which means that they will have a higher tendency to exaggerate or lie.
https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_perceptions_index_2016The third filter is harder to implement. You need to be able to do critical thinking. Does the application make sense? Jesus coin is an extreme example of something that doesn't make sense, but most are leaning towards this. Crypto currency is good for some applications (transfer or store of value, save fees, save time, gambling) but not all applications.
Most projects are trying to squeeze square pegs into round holes. There's a project that wants to connect locals with travelers to enhance the travel experience. You have to do mental gymnastics to figure out why an altcoin is needed here.
