Do you know that most of the ICO's are scam .
Well if you don't here are some reasons behind it :-
1.) Most of these ICO's have no business model
2.) Most of these ICO's would never be profitable
3.) High Market cap for a project / ICO with no development , code or any past experiences
4.) Most of them have a 1 year roadmap which means no vision
5.) 5 months of hard work and for that they get Millions in funding
6.) Dumb people running the shitshow
7.) Behind the scenes it is all about Money
What makes an ICO legit ?
1.) Working product
2.) Practical Use case
3.) Legit Team
4.) Limited Funding ( Based upon Fair Market valuation )
Why are these days ICO raising so much money ?
Answer :- People are dumb and greedy they want to invest in the next ETH , STRATIS , WINGS , EDG , IOTA , XEL but they do not understand that Stratis had less than 1000 contributors and most of these ICO's happened during bear season when most of the people were not active in the scene .
Should I invest in ICO's ?
Yes , some ICO's are legit and can be good investments such as MobileGo , Edgeless , Civic etc which can yield you good ROI in long term but then always due diligence is important .
Should I invest in ICO's with high marketcap ?
No , High marketcap means a lot of people have invested in an ICO seeking for quick buck or the ICO team has been dependent on marketing to get more investors which makes a lot of weak hands so when the marketcap is not able to sustain the demand and supply the price will likely go down . When the price goes down is the time to invest but not during the ICO .
I fomo like a noob during ICO as I don't want to miss it .
Well then you are a fuking sheep who want to buy in today and be a millionaire tomorrow well it does not work that way , you can always buy after it hits the exchange . Always have a good risk management system in place where you are able to manage your risk/reward ratio according to your portfolio .
Always :-
Ask tough questions to the team and you will know the reality Best Regards ,
VerthagOGEveryone is trying to take advantage of the momentum right now. My strategy is the same for all investments whether cryptocurrency, stocks, and startups.
First and foremost:
- Team
- Traction
- Idea / Concept
TeamFirst and foremost, I invest in people. The questions I ask are:
- Are these individuals I can trust and share the same values with?
- What experience does the team have in this space?
TractionTraction enables me to understand someone's passion, hustle, and results over a period of time. The question I ask here is:
- What traction has the team achieved over the past quarter, six months, etc?
Idea / Concept
It's never about the idea. It's always about the execution. Hence why this ranks lower than traction. The questions I ask are:
- What problem does this solve?
- Is this an idea that I'm passionate about and care offer value to?
- Is the idea / concept aligned with my values?
The answers to all of these questions give me a good sense on whether or not I should invest. While it is still possible to make money from momentum investing, I recommend everyone employing due diligence and ask the same questions above prior to making an investment.
