Investing on Ethereum if it will try to start an ICO will be a risky move, I guess. But knowing Ethereum for a long time, I came to love this coin, and I will risk for this coin. There are lots of ICOs that are now scams, and I am sure that if Ethereum will be an ICO again, it will be successful.

I have another thought about the whitepaper as a parameter to determine the prospects of a project.

what if a good copywriter is employed to craft a whitepaper for a bad project. it may mislead investors. I believe there should other ways to determine the authenticity of a project by investors.
No single aspect of a coin should be the main focus of your due diligence, you should try to investigate every single aspect of the coin not only the whitepaper, because as we know scammers are very talented and they know very well how to fake several characteristics of a good coin and among those the whitepaper is probably the easiest one to fake, either because as you say they hire someone that is talented at writing whitepapers or just because they plagiarize the whitepaper of a more successful project.

if it's now i'm not really quite sure hypothetically this is what happens it all started with ethereum itself.
ethereum > tokens > projects > scam projects

so if the ethereum is non existing before then no scam happened and so i will invest to ethereum now even if its in ICO. it's a little bit complicated to explain and i got really confused on myself too.

In my studies, I've come to understand that ICO and IPO are very similar, as they are fundraising strategies for startups.

Here are the areas of differences.

1. ICO are mostly for crypto and Blockchain backed new startups, who need funds to build their businesses, while IPO are for companies that have track performance, that want to raise funds  to scale operations.

2. ICO is like crowd funding, which has less regulation, but IPO are heavily regulated.

Here is what I want us to discuss.

Since ICO investment is very risky as it depends the new startup whitepaper and the token, how did we know Ethereum would become successful through it ICO?

If Ethereum is to start afresh and do an ICO, why will you invest?
If Ethereum come up with an Initial Public Offering IPO after passing heavy rules and regulations from government institutions and regulators I think that can boost trust and build the project as a brand with real world mass adoption and global acceptance. So it can be big event but personally i think it is not really required at the moment as there are other important developments that should be the priority.

Their technology and their transparency, these two things will convince everyone to join them.
Maybe at first it will be difficult for us to believe because what they offer is completely new and we will doubt them, but because they are very transparent and intensively conduct AMA in various social media then there is no reason for us to reject their idea.

Let's say i'm already knowing Ethereum will become Major Cryptocurrency and i can Jump Back Time to 2014 Basically i will, but if didn't know anything on that year like today basically Depends on some condition, It's Simple logic with current ICO market but more likely on that year scammy ICO hasn't been that much like today. The answer is possible but maybe I'm just curious and won't invest too much ($1- $10)

And so do i, i would probably invest in ethereum if i already know it but suddenly i didn't know ethereum way back then. But as soon as the ethereum become a good altcoins i didn't hesitate to invest in it. Now, ethereum has a good market standing and no doubt that amongst all of the altcoins ethereum will become a dominating altcoin and second to the bitcoin. That's why ethereum will become known by its own project team behind it than knowing by its past.

[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope
Ethereum has several innovations that have not been found in previous projects. If you examine the year Ethereum started, there weren't many whales back then. Those who invest in ethereum are well-versed in ethereum's technicalities and future potential.
Today too many projects are without brilliant innovation but get a pretty high start-up price because they are supported by non-technical whales and only take a moment's profit, then they leave after making the dump.

Over the years that have passed since the launch of ethereum, it has already proven how trustworthy it is and how people treat it. An excellent team that continues to develop successfully will not let him fade away.

Ethereum has made many improvements, proven product development in the market and certainly is nothing but a reliable team in managing the ethereum project. Regarding the price, I think Ethereum still has a great opportunity to continue to grow and develop in the future. So, this is the main reason I trust the Ethereum project.

At the end of the day it is a risk that people are taking and they are free to take any risk they want. Nobody could guarantee a return from something like this, we all know that it is highly unlikely that when you join a new ICO and they are brand new and show nothing but few web pages and some whitepaper, that is it so you know that you are getting at the bare bottom.

However if you trust them, you could make a big profit, if you do not trust them, you may end up losing a lot of money. For example, there is this token that I am looking at these days, they are giving a decent amount of return right now and if I end up joining, with both investment and also airdrops and bounties and everything included, I could actually 6x my money according to what they assume price will be. But they are saying what it will be, they can't guarantee it, so I haven't joined yet.
It's not about how you trust the project but in the project development . Even how you trust it if they will failed to make it or develop the project it will crash and   then you will lose your money because many other investors that also trust the project will sell their tokens at loss.

And that's what most of the sales happening right now they are only good at the start but they don't really know what they are going to build and how they can do it that's why more of them is a failure.

^ I am very detailed with emerging projects, first of course I will read in detail what their concepts are in the Whitepaper. and at that time Ethereum was the first project to introduce smart contracts so this is definitely my reason to invest in Eth if it just started.

There is gold in volatility..


For ethereum yes they are offering something to crypto world that other coins can't solve so if they start again their ICO I will surely invest in them.

That line in your comment look vague and ambiguous. What exactly is etheruem offering that gives it a preferential advantage over other coins?
The more specific we are, the less confuse we become.



Once a time ICOs were most popular, and a few good projects succeed in their goals. But lately, ICOs are just coming with worst and repeat ideas and scamming peoples. Doesn't matter they writing a good whitepaper, if their intention isn't good then we can't do anything. ICO/IPO time is over almost, seems there is a trend of DeFi and I believe it will end up very soon. So it's very risky to invest in crypto lately and better to avoid investing in that. At least I am not gonna invest there.

I believe investment in the crypto space should now be determine by how innovative is a project. Here is one thing that is sure, we cant avoid investment, especially if that is your career path.

But, investment with caution always pays.

I always underestimate against something new, definitely no I guess. I mean, I will not spend my money to investing in ethereum when it was just started. Yeah, at that time it was just several altcoins like XRP and litecoin, I may focus to store my money in bitcoin and I would collect as much as possible.

Indeed, ICO investment is really risky, you never know who take/collect your money, it is really different from IPO that was managed by someone/some parties so as your money at least will save because you can meet the people who manage your nmoney.

But, investing always a risk, as you may know, the term of high risk, high gain and low risk, low gain, you can pick one of them. Can you imagine, how profit that will get by ethereum investors because they only need one year to gain a lot of profit because at 2017 ethereum price was touched $1400.

For every Etherium success there are 1000 Etherium failure here on crypto land.
What failures has the Ethereum token experienced? try to mention some of the 1000 failures, maybe it can be a good discussion for everyone here, including I also want to know more about it.
maybe he meant the failure of most of the tokens generated from the ethereum platform. although not all of them but the fact that there are thousands of erc20 tokens in the cryptourrency space is useless and new coins sometimes have a hard time staying in the market for long.

Difficulty staying for a long time in the exchange because there is no demand,
that's the risk of new projects, not necessarily all new projects are good, many don't survive and die,
especially in the crypto currency world it's very hard, the project must really have strong fundamentals and good development.

As long as there is no security for your investment it's always risky for the side of investors even its ICO or IPO the results can be the same.

Can you imagine it that Eth start ico it will never happen once again .We need to focus on upcoming top project which has a strong base and idea of business that will help the project rise rapidly .I always research myself the latest project and invest on it wisely .

Obviously yes, if ethereum launches a new funding round in form of ipo or ico and the prices are set below market price then everyone will rush to buy eth and im sure the hard cap will hit within minutes.

how did we know Ethereum would become successful through it IPO?
It's simple they create their whitepaper and posted it many people see how good the Ethereum's whitepaper is and look their ANN thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-ethereum-welcome-to-the-beginning-428589 well some of the ICO's we can see have a very poor whitepaper and most of their ideas are useless.
I have another thought about the whitepaper as a parameter to determine the prospects of a project.
what if a good copywriter is employed to craft a whitepaper for a bad project. it may mislead investors. I believe there should other ways to determine the authenticity of a project by investors.
Off-course mate, there are good perfect copywriters in the industry, more reasons why some good looking projects from their whitepapers look beautiful but in real world just another garbage. There's no way we can actually figure out these good copywriters from the system but investors should be more careful about the projects they choose to invest. Thousands of misleading projects around from inception, the only way out is to research properly about a project before put funds into it.
