My first ICO was with metahash... about 2 years ago. My first hodl was BTC, of course. First structured deposit - gekkoin. First exchange - kucoin
I know that coin and it seems like that is a dead coin right now. I have seen when meta hash has got a big hype in the past but so many new coins have already replaced the old coin. My first ico was zilliqa and it has already performed very well too. 
Topic: What was the first-ever ICO you’ve invested? (Read 548 times)
Maybe it's CMT, I was 4 times more profitable when investing in this project in 2017. After that I also participated in a few other ICOs, but not having too much profit, and in 2019 I was Lots of losses with ICOs because most projects have failed and become scammer
My first ICO was Polybius (PLBT) had little knowledge about ICO that moment, it was not a good investment at all but I got even. There were so many project that time but I was hyped by my friend to invest into that project.
If we talk about participation in the ICO, my first experience was bitconnect, it was fun, there was some craziness.
Lol many made massive gains from this Bitconnect and many who got in late got burnt too. I remember when suppoman (a crypto influencer) mentioned it as a ponzi scheme on his channel, while another popular influencer was busy promoting it. I didn't like the idea of lending coins wayback since many scams sprouted up under that niche. Bitconnect MCAP and price was growing massively such that it didn't look organic. I wasn't really an ICO freak but WABI was an ICO which caught my attention and I made huge profit from it.

I can't even remember the name of the first project, I only remember that it was the summer of 2017, the project lived for about a month, and then the main developer left it, and price went to the bottom, I invested 500$, after there were several more unsuccessful projects, the first success was BNB.
I invested on many ICO from 2016 until 2020 and get many worth ICO and bad ICO, but I think usually when getting bad ICO with lower price after listing and I know is risk I have faced when start investing on ICO project, just one reason I don't like with ICO because never give exactly date with their coin listing on the market.
Do you still wish to invest in ICO like 2016-2017? I think that will not happen again and now that ICO's popularity is fading, don't expect investment there to be much better, IEO, which has a good reputation.

2017 was the year that I have started my cryptocurrency journey. During that year alone, I invested in some few ICOs on top of participating in airdrops and bounty programs.
Blackmoon Crypto Token (BMC) was the first ever ICO that I’ve invested. I think I shelled out $10.00+ for that since I’m just a micro-investor. I remember the time that Blackmoon Crypto Token is almost sold out, so I had to catch up and good thing that I did.
Unfortunately, Blackmoon Token didn’t profit more than $1.00 when it was listed in exchanges. My $10.00 worth of BMC is now $0.42 only. The reason I hold it until now is because I want to keep this as a remembrance of the first-ever ICO that I’ve invested.
The other ICOs that I have invested next to Blackmoon last 2017 are Paragon Coin, Electroneum, Universa, Crypterium and LoyalCoin. Unfortunately all of these ICOs I’ve invested are at a loss, but I didn’t sell them until now.
On top of that, I also invested some TRXs as well during that year and until now I haven’t sold them. XRP is another coin I have invested when it was still around $0.77, but successfully sold them when it almost reached $4.00. I also bought DOGE when it was still $0.006 and sold it when that coin is on it’s way to an all-time high for a quick profit.
What about you guys? Could you share the very first ICO that you’ve invested? Thanks!
Great branch. Thanks to cheezcarls for creating it.

Like everyone else, he succumbed to the hype and the frantic feverish pursuit of X's.
First ICO I ever invested was ICON (ICX). Invested in 2017 of September & it was listed on Binance in December of the same year. It did like 100x from the ICO price after few weeks of getting listed. I was very glad because my first investment gave me a huge profit. Ever since I am investing in good ICOs & IEOs till now.
I've remember it was the year that the cryptocurrencies bloomed (2017), I earn some good fortune in campaign and after earning some I saw TaaS and risk investing even though I don't know much of the trading. I guess it was worth it since everything went well after that and been able to take some reasonable profit and excluding the coins I get from bounty I probably got 150% return investment.
In 2017, it was very risky to invest in cryptocurrency. Everyone was perplexed by the jump to Bitcoin, and this alerted me.
Well my first ICO that I invested was Bob's repair and lucky that I profited it was 2018. When the market was crashing down I never invested ICO anymore because many projects were failed and some turned to scam.
I am very fortunate to have invested in a lot of big ICO projects like Bancor, Adex, AppCoin and these are all projects that helped me to earn very high profits during that time. However, these coins are no longer the same as before and no one cares so these coins are currently at a very bad price. Now it seems that IEO is getting more interesting because any IEO project is guaranteed liquidity if it is a potential project.

I was unlucky in ICO world. When I first invested is in the Exscudo project, the development Exscudo project was not very good so they delayed the distribution tokens, then they distributed tokens after the price dropped. Until now I still hold several EON tokens but I don't know if they have been scammed or not today.
in 2017 almost every ICO held will be sold out before the end of time is determined, I remember once the ICO that I followed at that time was the oyster protocol from which I took x 200 of crew capital.
really a very rare momentum for people to flock to get it, but at this time ICO no longer has good interest and is merely enriching the owner.

The first and only ICO that I invested in was Sparkster. And I still regret it till today. Because I didn't take my take to research it well, I only invested because of a top crypto analyst that hyped it. It turned out the project was a scam.
I have known about this project in the past, but luckily I was warned and avoided losing money. That time Sparkster was talked about a lot and there were thousands of investors willing to invest at any time but all were fake and I quickly left the project. Now, there are still many ICO projects like this and you need to spend time researching carefully before investing because there is always a risk when you invest in ICO.
Just like me, I first learned of crypto in mid 2017. As far as I remember, I first invested ICO, Crowd Wiz in December 2017, and I made a decent profit. I forget again how much profit is certain, because at that time there were so many benefits that I got from trading crypto, bounties etc. You could say the end of 2017 was my best year at crypto with high income.
