I think in the next couple of years the situation will change and only projects that really want to work and improve the entire infrastructure will appear on the market, for today most of the projects are just scammers

ICO is been called Initial Coin Offering.

Ico is meant for the fund raising of a particular project or vision. Ico is used as a medium to actualize the project by individual funding and assistance. Most of the ico's goes through this process while some don't. Some might go through the medium of selfdrop and all are just good.

ICOs; also known as initial coin offerings; are when companies provide pre saling of tokens on discounted prices before a launch of a new coin. Most of the ICOs are pretty quality based and reliable; although you should always look at the team behind its developement. Are they reliable?

Some ICOs are set out from the onset to scam people, some good ICO can also turn to scam due to the team's inability to meet their roadmap. Some ICO also run foul of regulation thereby forcing government shutdown.
So yes ICO can be scammy but there are still good ones that are relevant and successful.

it all depends on how we see a project. if we have negative thoughts about a project then we will be afraid to join in it. we must know that there are some risks that will be gained in the world of cryptocurrency, and we must be able to avoid it. one of them is by choosing a good ico. it will make us avoid unwanted things.

Not all scammers are in new projects. But about half exactly do not represent anything from themselves but only create a work visibility by copying the code from another successful project.

When some coins launch they offer their coin through private sale and public sale where the coin price is low. As per analysts say 80% of ICO is a scam. before investing in ico's research is mandatory.

Now there are a lot of ICO projects which are available now. They don’t have to follow any law or rules. So; they may cheat on you. It’s wise to understand about the ICO projects at first and then invest.

ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering. When a new coin is launched the organization decides to arrange crowdfunding and pre sale of their tokens through some discounted price which can later be used. Not all of the ICOs are scammy to be precise but in recent times a lot of them are. You need to be careful and do your own research before investing in one.

What Are ICOs And Are They Scammy?

First of all, ICOs are Initial Coin Offering that helps a company or a project to come up with the necessary fund they need to sail away with their offering!

No, as much as many ICOs proved to be scammy, in general, i'd say they are not so scammy in actual potential.

The ICOs could never be scammed as they have permanents record with them!

ICO is Initial Coin Offering. The coins or tokens are offered for exchanging the new project. In the case of ICO; most of the time scamming. But you have to verify. You'll benefit if you invest your skills.
