Topic: Why do you invest in ICOs? - page 5. (Read 8179 times)
For me investing in ICO is a gamble, a risk you are willing to handle. I personally joined some ICO because I believe the project will be worth it and believing that the coins I received from the team as an exchange from the money I invest in will have high gains. People who are not willing to gamble should stay away from this because some projects may not turn out the way as expected but if the project boom then you can have more profits of multiple folds. Cryptocurrencies are not for faint of hearts.
Because ICOs are most profitable investment ever 
they are if you get in on the pre-sale. you can buy the tokens at a guaranteed low value. then wait for it to rise on etherdelta, then start dumpin'. every over-hyped ICO follows a predictable pattern, where you know the price will rise right at the beginning, then usually decline slowly. sometimes to sub-ICO prices. the people who can get in on the presale take advantage of the certainty of it, and make a quick flip.
Well, I won't comment on specific ICOs as saying they are good, bad, promising, scams or anything like that, but I will share my vision.
To start, I think the answer to that question is pretty straight forward. I believe that even people that want to support the blockchain projects and community wouldn't invest just to help the people behind the ICO, everyone is expecting finantial returns. What do I think investors think to get in return? Money.
This happens because before this ICO madness began it was something less accessible and more risky to common investors (as it still is, but now more people are interested). One year ago a promising ICO would have raised around 5 million dollars and be considered succesful, and then as the company starts to show progress in their project development more people want to invest in them (through exchanges, after ICO period) and them its market value increases a lot, and people that participated on the ICO get higher profits.
You should invest in an ICO if you think the project's value proposition is good, if it makes sense to be in the blockchain and if you trust the team can deliver what they are promising. If this is the case, price volatility is a common thing in crypto currencies and you should keep yourself updated about the project you invested in and see if their business is growing. Finantial returns should come naturally if you believe in the technology potential and in the specific application the ICO is proposing.
ICOs, also known as crowd sales, are a new way of financing for startups in the block chain space that involves issuing a new digital currency or token to early backers of the project in exchange for bitcoin, fiat currency or other established digital currencies.What do investors think to get in return?

The tech is freaking awesome and the financial return. Why would you "invest" in something to not make a return?
I like to invest in coins when I notice something that is pretty cool in the software that a project releases. Bitcoin is one of the things that allowed me to participate in the project.
Because ICOs are most profitable investment ever
I can't say for others. I look at ICO like any other fund raising exercise. And, my objective is always to support ICOs / ideas if they seem interesting to me. I also go through review of ICOs before investing on them. And I don't invest in a lot of them
I think most of the people are investing in ICO so that they can gain more rather than base solely on the growth of bitcoin. Since bitcoin has grew to such a huge price now, the percentage growth of bitcoin will become more limited whereas potential ICO still have a lot of room for growth. Just like eth, it has x1000 to 300usd.

Why do you, if you do, invest in ICOs?
All investors always want to get big profit and ICOs is a chance. Of course have many altcoin price is down after ICOs end but if a good project then it will soon get back the initial worth even increase fast to generate a big profit for investor ( ex: NEO) 
To make some Profit right? what else than
People invest in an ICO to have more money , to earn more money , because when you invest in an ICO early you will be given a bonus,. Investing in different ICO is too risky , if you don't know what will happen to your money in return , some are scams and some have failed. And investing in an ICO needs a lot of money to earn more profit in it.
Hi,
this thread I want to ask you: Why do you, if you do, invest in ICOs?
I see horrible huge amounts of money going to those. What do investors think to get in return?
Mostly it's the same case: ICO starts, much money comes in, you get the coins.
But what if those coins do not get back the initial worth?
Or do you invest because of other reasons?
For example (disclaimer: this is NOT hate!):
Why did trueflip.io get over $4,7 Million?
Thank you for answers!

i dont usually invest in ico but i guess the reason why they invest is because they want to buy the tokens cheap , because being an early investors gives you a lot of privillages and bonus but after that they would just dump the coin and earn profit. yet investing in ico's are pretty risky because i see these days there are many ico"s popping like a mushroom and like to scam people, id rather invest in bitcoin or altcoin than taking a risk.
I have only been able to get in on 3 or 4 ICOs. Many of them I am priced out of the market as they want a minimum of 1 Ether etc to join. The ones I did particapte in allowed minimum of 0.1 Ether. needless to say all the ones I bought into tanked as soon as they got to an exchange. I have only lost money. I find they are actually cheaper if you just wait - and buy once they are on an exchange - as I only have small amounts to invest.
Same reason that VCs invest... offer great liquidity vs a traditional angel/startup investment: https://hbr.org/2017/03/what-initial-coin-offerings-are-and-why-vc-firms-care
This doesn't mean you can skip your research though!

I have changed my strategy. I am joining and flipping after hit 2x ICO price. If i don't sell those token it is downing under of ICO prices.
^ to make a profit, that's the reason I invested in ICO, but before I invested in an ICO I would pay attention to the concept first, how it works and team because I do not want to invest my money into an ICO scam.

With good research and knowledge good project gives a good return on investment compare to other means of generating altcoin. With ICO you become a share holder in different project, which might become a major turning point now or in the near future
ICO are also a good way to gain some profit, because you always get some bonuses and also you can sell coins after they hit exchangeres almost in double price.
