ICO if researched thoroughly can earn you huge profits on your initial investment. ICO has the potential of multiplying your investments in short period of time. But due to lack of regulations and high percentage of scam ICO. It becomes tough to find out the best out of the lot. What I look in an ICO before investment is that how much ratings it has got on various websites, who are the partners and advisors, team, project potential and roadmap and the social media presence.

well, there's so many things we need to examine before investing on an ICO, at least we have to do some research. For me myself, before investing on an ICO i will look up through their website and telegram, i want to see the hype of the project. i will also skimming their whitepaper, just to see some details to make me sure even more on that ICO. But for me, the most important things to see is the hype.

Hi all,
I was wondering what you look at when investing in ICOs and what you find the most important. Let me know I am curious to see.
Important things that I look for before investing in ICO’s are :I was wondering what you look at when investing in ICOs and what you find the most important. Let me know I am curious to see.
1. Innovativeness of the project.
2. Hard cap/soft cap.
3. Team background.
I also read their whitepaper in order to see their roadmap, purpose of their project and how they plan to carry it out. I usually am firm on these points; the rest I do is join their twitter and telegram group and check their transparency and support for customers.

Well as we know the team background means a little in modern world. Even a huge projects are tainted with such a nasty things like putting random IT specialists at their team list

For me, it has to be in a field I'm passionate about, have a minimum viable product, and be developed by a team with relevant experience who know what they're doing.
Surprisingly enough, this criteria is pretty hard to satisfy and find in a proper ICO.

For me the top 3 things to lookout are;
1) project viability and practicality.
2) Team competency and experience or previous work.
3) transparency and innovation.
Indeed. Those 3 points are the ones that everybody must look for. Project is useless if it’s just on paper and can be applied for practical purposes. Experience of development team and team of advisors of project determines how efficiently the ICO will grow and how successful it will be. 1) project viability and practicality.
2) Team competency and experience or previous work.
3) transparency and innovation.
And transparency from the team of developers is always appreciated, because it provides a reason for people to trust the process and ensure that it’s not a scam.
Recently there was fork of LTC called litecoin cash. One of the developers has a photo of donkey on his profile on website. This helped people to know that it was nothing more than a scam.

Hi all,
I was wondering what you look at when investing in ICOs and what you find the most important. Let me know I am curious to see.
The first thing is how much roi that invester can get. The second thing is the team. The third thing is the safety of investment. Never invest in any project which is not provide clear information and must be legit. Invest in cryptocurrency is very risky but it isn't mean that we should invest regardless of safety of investment.

Mostly I go based off hype, if they have a large following on social media etc. After that I consider if I actually believe in the project (this does not determine if I'll invest or not but it makes the decision much easier). If both of those are ticked off I'll likely invest, if there's just hype then there's still a good chance i'll consider investing as a flip, depending on the current market, if it's a bear market then I stay away from almost all ICOs.
Usually good projects and ICO’s show sign of hype because there is demand among people and due to it, more money is raised for the project platform to develop. Hype doesn’t really show whether a project is good and worth investing because hype can be created by an ICO’s by doing proper promotion, advertisements and by arranging bounty programs and signature campaigns. Therefore, hype can provide a signal towards some project in market, but investment must be done based on pure research. April 03, 2018, 02:27:30 PM
Personally, the major 3 things are
1. The coherence of Whitepaper
2. Project development (roadmap, team, community)
3. Hardcap/ Softcap
These are important things to note down the ICOs because a majority of people are looking for a potential platform to invest
After reviewing some Projects, I came to these ICO's which are worth investing and make reasonable profits. ( Coinnup - https://ico.coinnup.com/, Betrium - https://betrium.co/, and Vestarin - https://www.vestarin.io/)

I divide ICOs for 2 types - for flipping and for holding. Those projects that doesn't have fundamentally strong idea but have a huge hype are usually very good for flipping, So in this case number of followers in social media is the most important for me. And if I choose a good project for holding then I would check the team, whitepaper, hardcap, token metrics and all other important parameters.

Apart from the whitepaper, project and team for me its important to see evidence that the team is truly invested. So a continuous attempt to form new partnerships and gain more advisers and presence at conferences and summits

Me personally I look for the raise amount requested, team background check, and what this project can do for not only the blockchain community but the world itself as well. You obviously need to consider more than 3 factors, but these are my biggest 3 for sure.
Indeed. The amount of money raised by the project must be taken into consideration. Because usually more the money raised, more efficient the project is and it shows that it has got investors and people are willing to show them support. Utility is a factor that must always be considered before investing because unless a token has some utility in the real world and helps in solving some real world problems, it’s useless and is likely to degrade over time and it won’t have any support from community or investors.

Hi all,
I was wondering what you look at when investing in ICOs and what you find the most important. Let me know I am curious to see.
Innovation of project which could be found with white-paper and after that background of team are the prime factors for me to decide about an ICO for going with them it could be either just participating into their bounty or investing my hard earned money. In my opinion, both are completely same thing as participating bounty is nothing but spending our time and efforts. So, all the time, I do consider these three factors very carefully.

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.
The most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.
The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.
I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.
They are on Pre-ICO stage right now, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/future-of-privacy-ethereum-meta-foundation-of-anonymous-e-marketplace-2659058

A solid team with good reputation and strong professional experience; A great idea that really needs the blockchain technology to achieve and a well managed community and marketing strategy. All in all, you need to do your DD and background checking and be responsible for your decision!
Yes, I fully agree with your opinion.That is something that an investor needs to understand and check out meticulously. If one of these conditions is broken, we should not invest in that project anymore.
What we need most is the credibility of the project members and their marketing strategies.

My basis when i invest to ICO is Check always their team background read the roadmap All of about on their project when and where it will be listed exchange if theres an possibility that it will increase the price in a certain time, how many investors they have, theirt achievement how the people in social media react of their project, and most important is if theyre token has a potential that make a profit when investing to them.

For me is knowing first what project is about,
2nd is check the group plan and lastly is
check the project in social media if the project is have a lot of followers.
More followers much better.
Yes, that is a good ICO test strategy. But I think it lacks some detail.2nd is check the group plan and lastly is

I think you should check on the investor and how the management of telegrams. There are actually many large scale projects and the number of participants in their telegrams is over 50k. But that's just a virtual number, they've fooled a lot of investors. I have made such mistakes and I hope you will not make the same mistakes I made.
