People invest in ICO, hoping to make a profit. To invest 100 dollars and get 200 or even 300, it's very tempting. Unfortunately, many are literally blinded by the thirst for profit and do not see that investing in ICO, no longer brings such results that could be observed a year or two ago. It's more like the 21st century gold rush.

We are two university researchers from Trier University (GER) and the Erasmus University Rotterdam (NL). We try to investigate why people invest in ICOs (decision criteria, motives, behavior) in an empirical fashion. Any help in filling out or promoting this survey would be greatly appreciated: https://www.unipark.de/uc/ICOs/
As a reward for your participation, you will receive a detailed report of the results. This report will give you actionable insights on how to optimize your investment strategy and will most importantly allow you to benchmark your decision making to a large sample of ICO investors. Also, the report will reveal interesting information about specific aspects of ICOs, such as investor motivations, the opinion on white papers, regulation, and many more. The results of the study and all related publications will be published Open Access and freely available.
Finally, if we reach 500 participants or more, we will hold an Ethereum raffle in which we will distribute 0.5 ETH to a randomly chosen person.

I think what matters most to ICO investors is the probability of making huge profits when it got listed. Some ICOs give up to x10 of the ICO price . But thus time many ICO investors are losing big because of the current market situation .

People invest to earn and I see no other reason to participate in these projects . I'm sure there are no people who do it just like that

For me, investing in ICO is a chance to earn as much money as possible and I do not pursue other goals at the moment

People mainly invest in ICO to increase their capital. It seems to be the most profitable at first glance and often really get a good profit

I like ICO and I invest a lot. Of course I expect a great profit, but if I help to implement the right idea, it will also be great for me.

People invest in ICOs because they hope they can get some easy money out of it. Not all projects may survive in the future and many turns out to be scams. So, doing thorough research is important. The details in the whitepaper, the team, advisory board etc. should be checked before investing in the ICOs and whether the project actually needs the help of blockchain should be considered too.

The thing that matter the most should be whether is the ICO legit a not. Even if the ICO does not moon after their ICO the value still can be there. If you invest in a scam ICO you might lose everything that you invest into it.

There are a few key factors that you should always look into while investing in an ICO. The team behind it is crucial for verifying transparency. White paper is very crucial to see how the interior and system actually works. The token distribution and Media Attention and community coverage is also significant to portray a well defined road map of the ICO, and provides a balanced view.

First of all people invest in ICOs in order to get the great income instead, that may give them the monthly income - sometimes holders of platform tokens may get the monthly income in the form of interest. Everyone has the own motivation - just having additional income, or collect for some other ideas, or become the part of supporters of the platform, but mostly it deals with the own profit. But sometimes people believe in idea and just try to support the leaders and the teamFirst of all people invest in ICOs in order to get the great income instead may mayo give them the monthly income - sometimes holders of platform tokens may get the monthly income in the form of interest.

ICOs have token sales where early investors can benefit from buying coins early at a discounted price. The returns can be very high after the project is in full swing and the concept providing real life assistance towards issues. It is up to the investor to do his/her due diligence before investing in a cryptocurrency or an ICO. The nature of this digital market is very volatile which plays a part on the risky investment topic.

I think when a person studies thoroughly an ICO project and believe in it, then they decide to invest on it. Through ICO, funds can be raised which will add to your income. A good ICO project can make money 10-20 times faster than any other cryptocurrency.

People invest in ICOs for the same reasons that they are investing in coins that are already in the market and that is to make profit. ICOs actually give you an avenue to make a lot of money in a short time. People want to make money, that is the reason that they are investing in the coins in the first place. When people see a good project offering a good product that they are sure that people will be using for years to come then they definitely want to invest in the ico.

I think peoples are earning profit from ICO that’s why they invest on ICOs. In recent time ICOs is a great site for invest.

people always get interested over those thingd which has better facilities and good freture, so it is clear that ICO is definitely offering something more developed and smoother then others that is why people feel more comfortable to invest on it, and hopefully it will be better in the future

I think most factor is that main idea. When the first time you are reading idea or etc. you need te believe something. Somethings should be attractive for you.

We need to do more research on ICO. I will participate in this survey and wait for the final report. ICOs have been disappointed lately, so I wonder what people think 
July 29, 2018, 06:09:17 AM
I think the motivation of most investors is only because ICO may have a huge return, which is the motivation of most people to participate. However, in my opinion, the risk of participating in ICO is actually very high.
