Why I invest in ICO?

1. Buy high, sell higher

2. This supports a cause or makes a product which I use, much better than it does right now.

What do investors think to get in return?
certainly i want to get more profits

Quote
But what if those coins do not get back the initial worth?
Or do you invest because of other reasons?
each investment has risks, i think what we should do is to make clear investigate as possible, i will not put off easily by a slight risk

The real answer is to expect a great return on the initial investment. I know many are a scam, but some have great potential to become awesome companies in the future!

Because ICO is very profitable for me. I choose ICO with high potential and can develop in the future, investing in ICO is very risky but if you invest long term it will surely be profitable.

I rarely invest in ICO, but I often invest in pre-ICO, the chances of getting a lot of advantages in pre-ICO is bigger, pre-ICO is amazing, they give very big bonus

Although they gave some extra tokens in pre-ico but the main risk is always there. You never know that this particular  ico will be a profitable venture and you are actually risking your money. Which in my opinion is not wise. That's way i don't invest in ico. And if you are really a fan of ICO then you should do some research before investing.

The ability to participate in the first market sale is one of the best opportunity for any investor/trader. In an ICO you have the chance of buying the altcoin at its presumed lowest price (Note: Not all altcoins have good ICOs). Also when you look at it in a stock perspective you will know that if a company is firstly offered in the market only limited people will have a chance to have a share of that company making others wait at the opportunity to buy in the second market. With that people anticipating surely the price will go up at its official launch.

I only invest in those ICO in which I do the research and then come to a conclusion that the ICO is worth investing and is a good project with good developers behind it.
And most people think to sell right after the token get listed on an exchange and cry that the price is too low, but they should wait for the development of the project and then they should sell the coins.

I think those who are investing are the ones who do hold a big bag of ETH, so I think that might have happened when many investors pushed ICO really successful

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. Ultimate goal of both is profit.

Because we believe that we will earn a huge profit from the project. Most of the ICO always get a good price after it is listed on an exchange

I often see in ico with a discount coin for pre-ico and does not rule out investors interested in investing in it, not only discount investors to see from the success of the project and also from the crowd about the project.

Perhaps they are investing by looking ahead to their project, and maybe there are also teams who participate invest by using a pseudonym .. if seen they use instinct about the courage to be invested in his poject.

I like your question, this is an interesting question, Before an investor invests ,he first learns about the vision and mission of the coin if he sees progress on the coin then he invests in an ico .. that's my opinion guys

The answer is simple, they (investor) invest in ICO for expecting a profit. Investors or traders know that behind the profits there will always be losses that haunt them all the time. This is a risk, and I'm sure all fund investors have understood it.

I don't because ICOs are bullshit and are going against the basics of crypto.


I know that recently a lot of people are angry or annoyed by scams and really weak projects raising a lot of money, but imagine this wasn't the case. Without recent frauds and other problems, don't you think that the idea of a democratic crowdsale to fund a promising project that could increase the blockchain technology popularity and maybe help to improve the quality of a specific market segment or product has everything to do with what you call "the basics of crypto"?

I am interested in why do you think ICOs go against the basics of crypto and what are the basics of crypto to you.

I am not saying I support any kind of ICO and I am expecting some kind of change in the current scenario to help prevent people from falling for scams and solve other ICO issues, but "the basics of crypto" for me is about decentralization and allowing anyone in the world to get access to investment and participation in different projects and technologies they support, no longer relying on big corporations, regulators and government to do so.

I think that, problems apart, the ICO model was a big disruption in traditional investment model but now some malicious people are trying to take advantage of it. Besides, I don't think that this problem (of scams and people trying to take shortcuts to big profits) is unique to ICOs.

ICOs are by definition premined coins which are therefore centralized. There's no decentralization with premines/ICOs/airdrops/bounties/etc at all and while it might not be the government issuing them, a couple of anon devs doing it still makes it centralized.

Premining all or just a significant partion of the supply is a form of control regardless of what the coins are used for.

And when you have someone being in control of these funds or you're hoping they'll develop what they promised, you introduce trust while crypto should be trustless.



If a group needs funding they should use their own money if they're confident (if not then why bother) or get it from the outside, not tied into the project via coins or tokens.


And if they want ongoing funding, they should use the model which automatically transfers a set percentage of each blocks' reward to a dev address.

Most of the people invest in ICO because they want to earn money, or they believe that the ICO can become huge in the future, most of the ICO are not that profitable and most of them even turn out as scam, but if you choose the right ICO it can be very profitable, but I don't like to invest in ICO, I don't like to buy something that is uncertain
