Topic: What is the most important rule when buying ICO? - page 2. (Read 222 times)

Hype marketing, alert to all kinds of hype marketing, promotional types that use fantastic words and terms and also try to exaggerate the potential of a project without clear evidence

Yes, you are right about the rules. The most important of them are project, team and whitepaper.

For project:
- Content of project, given promises, differences from other projects
For team:
- Their reliability, their former works and projects, their nationality
For whitepaper:
- A strong expression, all statements and datas for project,

Those are 3 top important issues to buy ICO according to me.

Point 9 is not a simple trick, in fact it is one of the most important and should be higher up on the list. I always join the telegram group and ask question about the project and the answer from the team shows the capability and their understanding regarding the project. If they can answer such question or dodge the question then i simply won't invest at the project.

I would agree to the first two points that have been mentioned by you. I mean the project and  the team. Sure, that the rest of points also play their role but as for me the the project as well as the team are the most important

Another factors to considered is when the ICO make an effort to be in the listing sites and must have a good rating.

You forgot Advisors, those can have big effect as well....I dont think Total Supply is that much important. I always check this - https://cryptodiffer.com/ and chose only ICOs from this list...the higher, the better.

You need to do research. That is the most important thing, don't just go by what other people tell you or by the reviews that you see on the sites. Get on your computer and do research and see what kind of project you are putting your money into. With that you have eliminated a lot of risks. Also you might want to keep in my  that there is always a possibility for the ico not to do well.

The most important thing to do before buying an Ico is a real Ico. As a project, you have to invest in an important project that will be really useful in the future.

Better include one important point as well that never invest more than you can afford to lose because ICO investments are always risky evem if we have enough research about that project we still don't know that it will get success or not.

i will see and watch their team first, then the tech behind also the features inside
team is the most important for me, because a project will have a good development or will be scam is depends on their team 

Lately, I am looking specifically for ICOs that have attracted investments from VCs and funds. If a project has passed their verification and approval, then it should be a good one.
After all, experienced professionals stand behind these VCs and they know what they are doing better than most of us.

A useful list, perhaps it can be supplemented with the following items:

Multilanguage support – how broad is audience which they want to cover, how much long-term and large-scale the project is.


Advisors – one of the most important criteria. The team is not always so experienced in the ICO and well known, but it can still be quite qualified. Advisors often have experience in many crypto projects and can become a good guarantee of quality. Not all of them. Look at the success of previous ICOs of their advisors.

Scope of application of their cryptocurrency. Does the team have the necessary experience in this particular area, or maybe their advisor have any?

And finally, about your last trick. Write not only to managers. Write to team members to see what kind of people they are. You could use not exactly your own account for this.

I personally look at straight and transparent details, if there is something that does not sound real or too good to be true in the website or whitepaper i simply skip it, also mining icos that claim high roi are usually scams as mining is no more profitable and talking about 200-300% Roi just sounds scam, so we should stay away from such projects.

I don't think that citizens of who country really defines the perfect team member. What if team from the third world really wants to make the difference. 

Anyway rest of the points are also good as well. I do consider roadmap as priority but I dont stop there only as team must follow the same otherwise roadmap would be just junk of paper and nothing else. So I always stick to the team over telegram group, try to ask many questions and see how they are engaging the conversation. Thats gives clear idea whether they are going upto the mark or not.

In my opinion, the total supply is not very influential, but the vision behind the total supply will be more influential, as if not all sold then there will be burn, or total supply depends on the number of tokens sold. And I really like the last point. A very decisive point.

1- Project
(what are they targets, different from the target and others. you should know deficiencies in the market)

2- Team
(Which country they are citizens of, what they are related to Blockchain, whether they have succeeded in this job before, the companies they have worked with before and Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook profiles.
Actually, I can say that is the most important thing. A team that works and puts out something that constantly improves the project always does business.)

3- Completed Road.
(When you give the money, stay away from those who say we'll start a project!. you can trust started projects before you)

4- Total Supply.
how much will be presented to the market how much will be used to burn. what will happen. and what does it take into account when making a supply. it can be simple trickler. for example, everybody does not supply them. becomes selective.

5 - Distribution Schedules
(Consider the amounts to b provided to the Bounty, which will be stored on the shore).

6- Road Map.

7- Whitepaper
(Please read and pay attention to the language used.)

8- Advertisement
(The importance of advertising and the quality of advertisements should be considered.)

9 - Simple Tricks.
For example, join the telegraph and write something to the manager. the moderator will write to you when and what a satisfactory answer. it will score how good it is for you. If you really want quality money, this can be an important and simple trick.
