By issuing their own "money" and exchanging them for one of the common crypto-currencies (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) or even for real currencies (dollars, euros), the project can secure the financing necessary for launching or development. In addition, issuing currency for the project, you can accelerate its development (as the introduction of money in ancient times increased trade turnover) and automatically solve the problem of future monetization.

ICO, or Initial Coin Offering (the primary location of the tokens) is the issuance of any project coupons or tokens designed to pay for site services in the future - in the form of a crypto currency.

ICO means "Initial Coin Offering", which is a type of strategy to scam people, so we need to be careful.

ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering this is one if the strategies of several companies to collect funds and investors for the project that they want to launch. ICO's are consist of project developers They are making tokens as an offering to all investors that wants to be part of a particular projects. A token of a Ico has no value at all until the token didn't listed on the exchange but in the ICo token has have its own value.

An ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is the most effective & efficient way of attracting investments for startups today. To solve your dilemma
Digital currencies have had a spectacular year, reaching a combined market capitalization of over $115 Billion. Along with this, a new trend of fundraising has emerged – the initial coin offering. Like digital currencies in 2013-2014, initial coin offerings (ICOs) are becoming popular lately as more crypto start-ups are using it as an alternative to the traditional fundraising methods. According to Forbes, ICOs have raised over $380M funding as of May 2017, compared to $225M in 2016, $10M in 2015, and $25M in 2014 (historical figures are from the research firm Smith + Crown).
One of the advantages is that ICOs create liquidity and growth equity without giving up equity in most cases. This means that the venture founders do not give up or dilute existing ownership in their start-up by raising funding. However, as an investor, this can turn into a risk because investors have no voting rights, as opposed to traditional equity ownership in a company.

By issuing their own tokens and exchanging them for popular crypto-currencies (for example, bitcoin or Ethereum) or for fiat currencies (dollars or euros), the project attracts the funding needed to launch or develop.

Well i think there is two kind of ico
1. ico for scammer or
2. for legit ico.
So the best way to do before joining in any ico campaign is to research about the icos and its platforms.
Because some icos promises are really aromatic that's why there are many people who are scammed and we need to prevent or stop it. Be wisely.

In my opinion, ICO" is a ripoff term inspired by "IPO" from the stock market.   And just like the stock market,  most suckers don't make money investing in them.  It's even worse on crypto because of the lack of regulation and the general scamminess of those involved in them. thats I know.

Even how hard you make a research this days,its really hard to distinguish whos legit and scams,those f*cking scammers are good,they can even pretend to be realistic and truthful,maybe lets trust our instincts and faith to God helping us find the right ico to invest with.and lets accept the reality that part of investing is failure,and being a victim means you're wea,things happens for a reason

ICO represents the initial coin products, a group or organization is to raise money or provide a new encryption currency, however some ICO is a scam, if you want to join the ICO, be careful when you invest your money.

Yes, it is an Initial Coin Offering like a fund raising in a public for their new crypto currency venture and usually during sale their tokens can be bought in a low price and after the ICO they will  enlist their new coins in a selected exchanges at where you can sale your token in exchange of bitcoin or any other crypto currency.

Yup the investors should be careful and they should have done a lot of research first about the project before they invest or put their money into the ICOs because the ICOs are mostly scam since the scammers are using it to take advantage the desire of the other people to invest in ICOs since a lot of ICOs last year are really pumped up very high.

I think ICO is the initial coin offering, the coin offered to the investors is used for development by the developer of profit to fund the project or a product that will be created so that it can be useful and very useful for the world and the future. but you should not just participate in ICO you should see the ICO who has a team that can be trusted and platform that really really useful.
