what makes an ICO investment risky?

[Dinid]

Nowadays, there are so many fraudulent projects.
Be careful before investing, fully learn about the project carefully.
First, you can look at the authenticity of the team member. If the profile is fake, just avoid. Don't invest

Because ICO is an investment, we spend money, and the money may not be used according to the agreement when the ICO is taken away without clear information or better known as Scam. Some things become the problem of the ICO Scam, which is the unclear project, the purpose of collecting funds made by developers and teams that are unclear or not emblazoned. Usually this will be explained in the whitepaper. Therefore we must be more careful and observant if we want to invest in the ICO.

What makes ICO investment risky is ourselves in choosing projects at the ICO. So we must be clever in making a good selection of projects at ICO by researching them well and paying attention to them clearly. If you believe the project is good and not Scam or other, then you have the right to choose it and avoid big risks like the Scam project.

I think ICO is actually not too risky if we can distinguish which ICO is good and which ICO is bad by doing research starting from white paper, website, then team and so on. Then from there later when we have been able to research ICO projects well , then I am sure in the future, risks will not occur. and I am very sure of that.

The biggest risk when investing in an ICO startup is the risk that the project will not fulfill its obligations and in the future its product will not be in demand and useful to the community. I'm not talking about fraudsters, of which there are hundreds now, among the projects. This is a separate category of risk. In general, friends, you need to carefully choose a project for investment and understand that your money can disappear.

Actually the investment is all at risk. But all depends on the condition of the project we are investing in. If the project at ICO is good and many investors enter, I'm sure it will be profitable and the risk of loss will be small. Vice versa. If the ICO is not good or even a Scam, it will hurt you and the risk going forward is also great for you and everyone in it.

there are some ico that is scam that can we get if we are not careful in choosing an ico. a lot of good ico does not mean that there are no ico that is scam. we have to be smart in choosing it so we can avoiding a scam ico.

[Sentinel]

if we follow the ico that is scam the it will make us get a big loss. we must be able to avoid it and choose a good ico. choosing a good ico is not an easy thing because we should be able to understand the ico well. if we can choose ico well, then we will also get the good ico.

Can have some risks and profits as well .It is just matter of the time you spend about research and the quality of the team if you ask me .  Some projects  ; they fund raised and they are gone .. They steal peoples money and time .  Market use to be very attractive and ico's  were make amazing funds before . Still we need to be careful .

What makes ICO so risky is that there are many projects that are scams in it and many projects will die as well because there are no incoming investors. Therefore, if you want to avoid these risks and want to minimize the risks that exist, we must learn more about how to recognize a good and potential ICO project, so we can overcome the risk of scams and others at this ICO.

Some ICO are worth investing while some are not due to scam and fraudulent activities that is rampant in the system for now. While some ICO price depreciate below 100% which make it risky for investors to risk his funds

[Bruks]

My opinion, As is the case with any investments there is always a risk of capital being lost. However, the nature of ICOs and the space in which they operate also present a host of new dilemmas that investors must be aware of.
ICOs are unregulated securities that allow the founders to raise huge amounts of capital without having a tangible product, prototype or beta version. They are simply an ambitious idea. As a result, it is a safe assumption that the vast majority of ICOs will fail to deliver their product and lose investors the money they invested. This must always be taken into account by investors and is why extensive research of the concept and team is encouraged...

Tons of reasons you can have to mark an ICO project as very risky.

Developers
Project area
Token metrics
Advisors
Past experiences
Capability of the team members

The list can go on and on.

Blurred sight is a chance to step down the right investment.
The risk won't gone because it is always risky but by the help of searching and reading the risk turn into a better opportunity to grab something new and becoming more mature and strong than before.

[capt ronald]

Honestly investment in ICO today is too risky and I have two reason to consider
Firstly is the bearish market which makes which pull down the crypto investment too bad and second is the rampant scamming of ICO project which is very hard to identify.
