Topic: Why do you participate in crowdfunding? (Read 457 times)
I will participate in crowdfunding just for the great tech, not another fork of the fork) For me very strange when I see real projects for real life but nobody wants to see them) All prefer hype projects that just promising another copy of existing coins with many new words that nobody understands)
That's right, for ICOs who really succeed in raising funds but the price of coins or their tokens are destroyed a lot due to traders who enter ICO as short-term investors open to long-term investors. They take advantage of discounts or bonuses from pre-ICO and ICO purchases that can get tens of percent bonus. But it's always blamed for bounty hunters, even though their share is only around 2% - 3% of the total tokens sold
It's not always the bounty hunter, the real thing to blame is the admin of those ICO project. The down fall of the project start on internal and not those bounty hunters who only want a real money than it's alternative coins. 
Unfortunately people join ICOs as traders not investors so the moment the coin is being listed, they quickly dump them without even waiting for the project to launch any of their products, destroying the price of the coin. Now these same people will come and create a thread here that ICOs are dead. In fact crypto is not dead, we are actually killing it.
Crowdfunding is differently working in this community from real life but people are doing it for their own reasons like they want to make money but they are not realizing like in long term it will be more beneficial than rushing for selling once it get listed in exchanges. This might be probably due to lack of awareness about how crowdfunding is working because people are just looking for short term benefits whereas crowdfunding will make a project more stronger in long-term only.Is your main idea to support the project or just to make profit from the bonuses and go your way?
I am just enforced to stay within this community because if I will be holding alone then I will not get any reward for hard work, I am putting for promoting them through campaigns. So, I am also rushing to encash as earlier possible once it get listed in the exchanges.
It is obvious that the matter is solely in the benefit, which today has already exhausted itself. Of course, most people do not use today's situations in full force, because today it makes sense to talk only about HOLD

My goal (like any normal investor) is to support the project and make a profit. The problem is not that someone quickly gets rid of assets. The problem is that many projects are not ready to offer something innovative, necessary. And not able to release the final product.
Investing in ICO gained popularity in 2017, when it was possible to get + 200 percent in a couple of months. So far, many people are looking for this way of earning, but I do not understand why?
The main idea of crowdfunding is for investors to pull their monies together to support the launching of a project. Unfortunately people join ICOs as traders not investors so the moment the coin is being listed, they quickly dump them without even waiting for the project to launch any of their products, destroying the price of the coin. Now these same people will come and create a thread here that ICOs are dead. In fact crypto is not dead, we are actually killing it.

I have joined several icos and I also trade with different exchanges and I thinks it is just human nature and instinct to always hope, assume and expect that you will get some profit from your investment with any ventures. The primary purpose of having an investment is of course to get a good harvest out of your capital so the developer and the entire team must have thought about this already and they should be ready with this kind of happening from all of their investors.
It all depends on the project and how the sale is organized. For example, the recent sale of btt is very interesting because those who bought in pre-sale paid more than those who bought later: it's a new way to approach the ICOs. I'm curious to see who will follow this model.
I think that everything depends on the project, because only the product can affect the following actions of investors!
I think most of the investors invest in ICOs without believing in the project because I don't understand why as an investor you should dump your coins right after listing.
I'm not going to cheat. I think that today cryptocurrency is still a bonanza. I hope that people will understand and believe in it, because now it’s a really great way to make money, see what happens next.

Very strange question about participation. All life people invest in order to make a profit. Why should an investor invest in an idea without making a profit? Otherwise, it would be charity.
Although we live in the physical world with disabilities, I believe that everyone has the right to implement their ideas, unfortunately for this most often the funds are needed which the project often does not have, so collecting crowdfandig is an excellent combination to give those who deserve it.
Is this the best you could come up with? Such a generic comment that doesn't add any value to the discussion.
No, everybody does not have the right to implement their ideas and receive funding for it.
Some ideas are just way too bad to ever amount to anything.
How many people have spent hundreds of dollars on Kickstarter campaigns, without ever receiving a product.
They all invested because 'the idea just sounded so good'.
There's no obligation or accountability to deliver a product, that's what's wrong with crowdfunding.
That said, there are some good use-cases too. Some amazing projects have become successful thanks to crowdfunding.

I don't know who did it first but those devs and the investors are most likely to dump their tokens first and i think the ones who complain about it was the bounty hunters. Which the devs tend to delay their tokens for a couple of weeks or months because they want to launch their projects or whatsoever their other reason. And of course, if you were the bounty hunters when you see the market is almost out you will feel that FOMO and you have to dump it too.Is your main idea to support the project or just to make profit from the bonuses and go your way?
So, i don't know who's the one killing it but i think IMO both of them are killing it because they were too greedy to make money.

People think the next big technological breakthrough could happen with crypto currencies and blockchain. I mean who wouldn't wanna be a part of the "next apple" or "next windows". I know its highly unlikely that the next apple will be from crypto or blockchain based technology but it doesn't mean that a huge company can't come out from this space.Is your main idea to support the project or just to make profit from the bonuses and go your way?
It may not be as big as the others but look at the startups all over palo alto, there are companies that worth billions of dollars that didn't made a single dollar of profit yet investors want to buy them out, that is why people invest into stuff like this early so they could get out at the max and hope that at least one of them could become billion dollar company and that would make them very rich. Just purely speculative but also kind of like lottery.

No one, investors and traders alike, is a Saint in this aspect. We are all here for the profit and gain from what ICO we venture into. And also in my experience, I have learn not to fall in love too much with any project. It's cool to support projects and at the same time be ready to dump at the sight of dip. Frankly speaking investments are always about money and getting reward for risks you have. So I participate in crowdfunding mostly (95%) because of reward. This is my main incentive just like for every professional investor around.

Actually I myself am still interested in following, but now there are so many projects that die and make people lazy to participate. I am waiting for changes so it is not like now where many investors are harmed
