Topic: Why do you invest in ICOs? - page 10. (Read 8179 times)

I think not all ICO projects are like you mean, as long as we can be careful and look into how they make it, if with your thoroughness to see the details I'm sure you will not get ICO projects scam, hack, or their other reasons to invest Inside.

Surely for quick money , buy if you are a patient person, I suppose you don't involved with ICOs, too much risks here.Like scam, hack, dev ran away...

Well in my own opinion, every investment always take a risk so an investor when he/she invest. First, he/she should know every informations or vission and mission about the coin in ico's. Second, if it can be trusted and lastly, if the coin has a good fortune.

This is an interesting question, due to us having test marketed 2 years in Asian countries on people's awareness and interest in blockchain/crypto industry.

Certainly, most of the people are here for the money (investment opportunity) . There are small number of people who simply believes in the future and are in love with these technology. Even smaller group of people are cherishing them for the faster, cheaper and safer transactions.

As there are countless cryptos now, most of people who are here for the investing purposes are just seeking for the potential market hoping to get larger return from their original investment. Talking of ICOs, if there are 10 projects that you think is legit, you might invest small amount for all of them, instead of investing all in one project being afraid of losing your funds for project failing.

Technology isn't so much important now, how secure it is, how fast it is, which blockchain it uses, etc, for that being replaced by new tech everyday. We believe before all countries start passing serious regulations on ICO industry, the only projects that will really succeed are those who are trying to provide and impact a new concept or entertainment related to our everyday life.
But for now, all the new users to this industry will simply be fascinated by whichever projects and website that they see, so this is indeed unfortunate that many scam project collects funds and just vanish : (

Some of ICO's really look like a way to get easy money. But there're many companies that try to make something worthwhile.  And people just want to help to develop such projects by participating in ICO

An unregulated means by which funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, but usually for Bitcoin.

Yes invest in the ICOs has potential to grow up numbers of investment, but it has potential to lost the money in the ICOs too, 
I am sure there are perfect ICO because in all of the ICOs projects always there are a little weakness must be fixed by developers and comunity in the future even bitcoins its self still has block size problem, we must choose the ICOs just has a little weakness on the projects.

Social.nexus is promising ICOs. The project is live, so the coin will have more value than ICOs with undefined project. There are many ICOs don't have real project. Or the project next in 2019 or 2020. It take to much time to hold the coin. The coin will slowly forgoten and the price will be down.

cause It is Potential, but need to choose perfect ICO.

I personally invest in ICOs because they give the best chances of doubling my money.

Its riskier, but should payout better, if you find the right ICO, and that is the big IF.

Agreed, there's lots of potential, but of course there is plenty of negative figures in the community who abuse ICO's and tarnish the view of these.

Hopefully instead of requiring any regulation or auditory bodies stopping these scams, the community does with their wallets. The SEC however has made it very clear that they will be stamping down on these though.

Of course for some benefit. they offer some buying there coin for cheap price. people want some profit for what they invest. that's why investor buy coin between pre-ico and ico run time. Yes there is lot of ricks. but there is many trustful project out there also. before you invest your money some ICO you better re-check there hole activities.

Because of the early pump and profit. Personally, I dont like to invest in ICO's as most of them are scams or one hit wonders. They just wanna popularize the ICO and take all the money. But there are people who take advantage of it. One of my friends invested on KICKICO in the presale and it got a cool platform for other ventures to do crowd funding. Will see how that goes.

I think everyone who will invest has been thinking and investigating every ongoing project, whether every coin invested in the future will be bright, the hail has been thought out and investigated, and if you have never considered and just invested it is Stupid act.

Im investing on ICO which I think have potential off course to make profit. I think almost all investors are doing thia for same reason as mine. Investing on ICO is quite profitable. Acquire tokens during ICO and hold them until the value pump and sell them.

Always I want to invest ICO. But know I can't invest in ICO. I don't have enough knowledge for ICO invest.

This is the define normally in history about ICOs crowdsale, but in recently the price of ICOs usually drop down after listed to exchange in short time.
Unless some project spend more time for development before listing to exchange as QTUM.

I always think twice before i invest on an ico. If the development is good, the teams are good and the roadmap and the future is good i will invest on it. You must know that if you invest an ico, you can't get profit instant after the ico finish. You must wait until the project doing good and it might takes several months and when it happen the price for each coin will increase.

ICO is good for people or prospective investors to start. Most people invest in ICOs to sell tokens for higher prices after the ico or to be able to get tokens at the lowest price

I think it depends on our beliefs about ICO, but i think not all ICO projects are hoax,few months ago i had some doubts about ICO but i tried to learn it and i decided to invest in ICO even though it is only small scale, and i got Profit from the investment.
