What is the risk?
These ICOs are very risky because of these following problems:
- Transparency of the team. Many scam project nowadays uses a fake profile to scam people. They are pretending to be the person who they put on their website.
- Fluctuation of the token/coin - Also a problem for investors is the rapid dumping of the price of their cryptocurrency. This is the result of the rapid selling of hunters. Investors bought the coin/token in a certain price which is much expensive than the current price in the market. In this situation, investors losses their investment.
- Failed Product - This is also considered as a risk in investing in these ICOs. If a project failed to reach their soft cap, it means they did not meet the amount of capital they need to start the product. Most of the situations like these will tend to the extension of the token sale of the project. Which not a good sign of a good investment. Consider your self-lucky if they will return your investment because some projects will quit and bring your money with them.
