Topic: Who actually invests in ICO's? - page 6. (Read 1591 times)
The ICO projects so far, despite some difficulties in ICO, have the opportunity to find quite a few large investors. About half of the coins sold came from groups of people or individuals who believed in the full implementation of the project. Many investors run the risk of earning huge amounts of money. Many investors have learned from the mistakes of their experience and do not invest in questionable ICOs.
Last year investing at ICOs is my main job because back at the time ICOs is actually profitable and also mining. but now both had gone low profits this year but hopefully we get more next year.
I guess 2018 year is a year of big invest funds and venture capitalists. Investors with a little sum of funds don't want to invest during these bad market conditions.
Normally, the investors that are making their money with it. Maybe bounty hunters as well, after they have earned enough funds to invest. But right now, we are facing the problem of no investment at all.
I know that most of todays traders are here just to make a quick buck, they dont care about the project, or the idea behind the project, they just want "PUUUPM" and "MOOOON". And with all the scam ICO's that we had in the past( my personal favorite BitConneeeeect) people have lost faith in ICO's. But still new ICO's and new ideas are being published every day, I've seen on some projects that i'm following that they reached their soft or hardcap, but what triggers my mind is: Who is investing in those ICO's, what is the one thing that lures the todays investors into investing in a certain project?
I think that at the moment projects receive a very small part of investments from private players. It seems to me that only projects funded by institutional investors will be success now. The players are scared. Fear of losing investment is much higher than the desire to earn. But this is my opinion ...
well some invest due to they only need to hit 1 ICO big time and that will turn everything for them, but that days are over for now. back then the ico craze was huge and all those hype " Whitepaper project " always reach Hard cap even tho they only have is paper. now you need to stick on those who can really thrive even in this situations
Last year we saw a lot of small invesors fromm all over the world. Now ICO soft and even hard cap filled by funds or big investors....
I have also mentioned that the majority of the new ICOs welcome big investors only. Yes, you can also join the project, but you need for it a large sum of money. I do not think that many guys can cope with it.

Investing in ICO projects, we must also distinguish the situation, some suitable for long-term investment, some are only suitable for short-term speculation, and will receive it when it is good. 
Investors are always here looking for a better opportunity and a good project to invest with their money, some are losing their investment in a scam ICOs but they never stop because they trust crypto.
People will always invest. The goal-to preserve and multiply-has not gone away. Those who entered earlier and lost a lot, just invest now less and more carefully. And new investors are already finding new projects, life goes on, growth will be required.
It all depends on the project. In some projects are investing purely private individuals, as for large investors it is not interesting and only an enthusiast is willing to give them their money.
Not all has already lost faith in ICOs. Some still believe that there are still promising ICOs out there despite of scam ICOs emerging. If they can see it having great potential and has good foundation, then they can be assured that their investment is in good hands.
It's more about future value propositions now which involves presenting a high quality protocol / platform / app that has a unique use case that can actually achieve some adoption rather than expecting to raise funds from little more than a whitepaper
More venture capital is entering the ICO market with greater expectations yet there has been a steady decline in retail commitment due to the reasons you mention

The answer to who is investing in ICO projects at now can only be investors in cryptocurrency. ICO traders will carefully analyze each ICO project they will invest in, and after they find a potential project, they will begin the investment process from the pre-ICO phase until the project stops the Token Sale.
As I see, many ICOs ask for too much money to be invested in them. For usual people, it is impossible. Take, for instance, Telegram - they were waiting for really great investors. Now, I do not deal with such projects.
In ICO, I invest money from all segments of the population, people of different professions and having different incomes. You can be a simple housewife or a venerable investor, but all of them are connected by the fact that they believe in blockchain and cryptocurrency.
ICO is invested by people who want to get a good profit. People who can afford to lose some money in the short term, but get more in a couple of years.
Actually we are already the real investors in this project that is we have keep working for the benefit of the ICO. The more positive feedback we shared on the ICO into the community the more will people will believe into the company as well so make a good promotional advertisement.
At the moment, the market for ICO projects is going through hard times, as investors are in anticipation of market recovery and price increases. But some projects carry out ICO even in such conditions, if they have guarantees from any funds, large companies that are interested in the product (technology) that the project offers.

Some ICOs have agreements with investment funds, putting a name of known fund on your website as early investor will bring some hype. However the number of successfull ICOs is way different from the last year number. Jump to:
