Topic: What ICO's / Presale should i break my crypto virginity with? - page 3. (Read 1674 times)

Since you are a beginner in the altcoin and in the entire cryptocurrency world, it is best that you first study it in general, meaning go first with the existing altcoins that are already traded. I think jumping directly into ICOs might be risky for you. But if you have received good advice then it is your choice. Try studying some ongoing ICOs such as Atlant and Easymine.

You said you wanted to buy an Altcoin.. then you said you wanted to buy an ICO / Presale.

Which is it then ?

Hi Virgin,

Check this topic:


The second ICO our of Korea is coming soon (BOScoin was the first). DAYLI Financial Group (formerly Yello Finance Group) is preparing to launch a coin called ICON. The site was opened on the 2nd. Of all things, the Korea version of the Whitepaper attracted me the most, and after reading through, I felt the company was well prepared.

ICON is an interconnecting blockchain network. ICON can connect independent blockchains without the use of additional third-party intermediaries. Various blockchains can communicate with each other through the ICON platform. By connecting siloed blockchains, ICON aims to become the largest blockchain in existence.

ICON tokens are named ICX. ICX is used as an intermediary currency when transacting amongst the various blockchain networks. As an inter-chain blockchain, the ICON platform will be able to host other ICOs on the ICON platform.

The ICON ICO will be the largest ICO in Korea. Overall, ICON aims to raise $44M over the span of 2 weeks. The ICO starts on October 20th, 2017 and ends on November 3rd, 2017. ICON will distribute 400,230,000 ICX which can only be exchanged with Ethereum (ETH). 1 ETH has a conversion rate of 2,500 ICX (1 ETH = 2,500 ICX).

Totally agree!

Do your homework. And keep it small and simple as you learn.

ICOs are high risk, make sure you do solid research and start low. Don't go throwing all your funds into a single one.

Diversify a bit, why not invest say 50% in one or some of the top 10 established crypto coins, 25% in newer coins that are listed on a popular exchange like bittrex then maybe 12.5% in two ICOs you choose.

Buy a real altcoin.. not a scammy ICO scheme "token".

ICO=SCAM

AIR PLATFORM KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Air features all required functions to secure a given individual’s digital identity, and greatly simplifies the usage of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for the user. Air removes the given user’s identity data from the identity transaction itself, thereby providing increased individual security, identity fraud protection and privacy.
Air also features a cell/mobile phone digital wallet, that will enable the individual to receive an XID token micropayment for all actions undertaken using the system, thereby allowing the user to build XID token spending power with relevant service providers over time.
The benefits of the Air system are clear, however at a high level the following key system attributes are:

USER CONTROL
Air enables the individual to be 100% in control of their digital identity via full user controllability of the individual's registered identity and associated attributes for data sharing needs.

They are a company that has already a genuine customers

This is very useful, i will use this when i look into pre-sales and ICO's

In regards to Crowdholding, I have heard about them and they seem interesting. Interested to see how their ICO goes as according to their website they have 170% of their target in pre-sale

Investing in ICO's is just like any other investment. You need to do your research.

These are the qualities i look for before investing into an ICO:-

- Strong team - Both in development team and also the CEO's / marketing (People focus too much on the developers which is important but not everything. no point having a great team to create something, if nobody can advertise it and push the startup in the right direction.)
- Realistic vision - not aiming too high or if they do not reach their target everyone who invested will be disappointed
- Solid whitepaper - Well thought out, shows realistic goals, a strong good vision and a plan of action
- Strong social media presence - A social media that shows they are connected with everyone
- Good customer support - Shows they care, and they have invested time and money into making sure the average investor can ask questions
- Good website - A business who is willing to throw time and effort into a good website are less likely to be a scam
- finite supply - ICO's with no cap can be dangerous and can simply just damage their own coin by releasing more for more investment.
-Market they are getting involved with - Is this a new market? or a dying one? who controls the market?

Finally
- Good concept and catchy name - A good ethos and a name that makes them stand out. Personally i would avoid anything that is something "coin".

If you are looking to spread your cash over a few coins, i would look into pre-sales as you can get more bonuses for your money.

many good projects here, if you want to invest in ico, then you should analyze and study the project.
from whitepapers, teams, market opportunities and more.
if you choose ico wrong, you can get a failed project may also be a scam project.
so before you invest, then you should understand its risks.

The best thing to do is to check the ANN thread for projects. Analyze projects and invest in one which you think will be successful!

Welcome to the crypto world.

I suggest you read the announcements (Altcoins)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

You will find many projects' information. Find the one you like and think it has potential to grow your money.
For me, I invest in Change bank and KickICO.

Good luck
