ICO is a shortcut of this word " Inital Coin Offering". Like a share in a real company, they're offering you to buy a share of their company and you will have profits back after you own somes. But ICO is the way much more anonymous than buying real shares because every transactions were made in Bitcoin or Etherum.

The acronym simply means initial coin offering hence the letters ICO, it however is a way of of funding but it has as its centre  cryptocurrency , this is an easy way of getting some working capital if you want to start a business , the tokens that are offered becomes functional units only when the initial coin offering goal is met and the business starts .

ICO means Initial Coin Offering(ICO). This is where many people are buying the coin what a certain project is offering. Initial, this is where the project is introducing or this would be the first time you got the chance to buy this kind of coin. So many people are not wasting time for them to buy in this kind of event. Because in this kind of event, people got a lot of bonuses especially at the presale.

The funny thing is that I have  invested in so many ICO's already and did not know the real name of it  Smiley Thx for explaining.

ICO is a crypto-currency-based form of financing through the sale of a Token Key and the purchase of tokens on a regular basis by Bitcoin or Ethereum (usually purchased by ETH).

Unlike normal capital mobilization, the buyer will hold the passwords issued by that company, collectively known as Token.

Holding a token is simple, if you buy with ETH you can store the token on your ETH wallet. Bitcoin is similar.

You have all the core concepts down. ICO stands for an Initial Coin Offering. And the main things that you want to pay attention to when looking at ICOs are these:
 - Team: vet the team. look at their social profiles. ensure that they are actually who they say they are
 - Project: determine if the scope of the project is realistic or not. What is their roadmap for completion or demo?
 - Market Cap & Coin Cap
 - Is it a utility?

ICO means Introduce Coin Offering where some startups offers their tokens with discount when they are introducing their company... Wink Wink Cheesy
No.ICO is initial coin offering in which new coins are issued by a company which has launched the program to raise the required funds for their project.Here even pre ICO is conducted in which certain number of coins are issued prior to main ICO.During pre ICO, coins rate are much cheaper than the rates of ICO.Nowadays even big institutional companies too launch ICOs as they find it much easier than entering stock markets to raise the required funds.

We talk about the ICO so let me share about what is a currency ICO. A currency ICO is when developers bring in a new currency system. The developers give out tokens which become new cryptocurrencies in exchange of the older more established coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The reason why people are drawn to these ICOs are that of investment opportunities. One of the best examples of these kinds of ICOs is the Ethereum ICO.

... I want to ask, what are the advantages of ICO ?

Well a quick google search could bring you to some answers, but for me, ICOs are good because:
  • No regulated exchange -> low fees, little delays
  • You can get large discounts when buying in bulk and/or early.
For the founder of the ICO:
  • Almost no restrictions to the kind of venture he is trying to fund. (depends on jurisdiction)
  • Can get huge sum of money. (in fiat currency !)

But never forget the risks, since everything is based on trust and reputation. No required asset securities -> you could loose everything.

So for now, everyone is testing the waters, and only time will tell if ICOs will persist into the next decade.
