Yes, at first it's really scary to invest in ICOs knowing that they are risky. But after doing research, eventually you will find the best ICO that suits you. For me, personally I really find VLUX interesting and that's why I'm not afraid to invest to them. You can check our their website to find out more https://vlux.io/

I'm not scared of investing in ICOs but it isn't allowed in my country.  There are some I wouldn't invest in, but it's usually because the company appears to be involved in shady behavior.  Good projects are usually legit, and legit past the surface level as well.  For instance, if there's a project that has a working product already, they're far more likely to be worth investing in because they're already working on it and producing results.  A lot of ICOs are just tricks and you can see that by seeing they haven't actually produced anything.

I don't think so. When you say "90% of ICOs are scam", it means almost all ICOs are not trusted. But, in fact, I think there are still many trusted ICOs. But it is true to say "participating in ICO is gambling".

Fear because thinking about the risk that is going to happen because we could lose money. But if we are careful in selecting the ICO it all we can prevent. Invest in ICO could provide advantages that many so investment is the goal of all those who were in the crypto.

I wouldn't say I'm afraid of investments but there are some that make me kinda uncomfortable.  I invested in one recently that has gone down substantially, I still believe in the project though so I'm gonna just leave it be for a year or so and see where it goes.  I still don't really like the fact that I could've had almost double the tokens I got if I just waited until now to invest.  I got emotional and didn't want to miss out on it and I ignored the TA which looked almost unanimously that it would continue to drop.  Don't get emotional!

Yeah I agree on you mate. There's a risk in every investment but if you will not take the risk then you will gain nothing. To minimize the risk you need to do own research about that particular ICO the team behind and the impact of the product to the community or the users. This way you can have a good sleep and not have panic in every market downfall situation as you know that it can bounce back to normal again.

ICO is currently very much with many advantages offered, but almost 80% of them are still cursing Smart Contracts / ERC20 which they are still "riding" the platform of others. Only ICO has its own platform that will survive.

If it is said to be afraid it is afraid, but we should filter all existing ICOs for smart investments.

Trading in crypto is very risky but has the highest form of return on investment compared with other forms of investment. It is important you study the market and the trend for the last 2 cycle and ladder into the project over a long period from now into only the top coins for now with lower risk of investments loss. You will know when to get into other altcoin with time

Talking about profit or loss, I think all investments must have risks.  Including investing in this Cryptocurrency.

investing in ICO actually has a good chance if the ico is successful, because we can make profits in a relatively short time. but also vice versa if the ico fails we will receive a loss.
so before investing we have to be careful and study the project that we will follow

Yes i am agree with you, i also think ICO are gamble. But it also true that gambling has two side profit and loss. I saw many ICO project has been established. Ethereum also was a ICO project and now Ethereum is well established.

So i think for take something good we need to take risk. Without any risk anyone could not get big profit. So i am not afraid to invest and take risk. I suggest you you can research for good project and invest there, don’t afraid.

The thread would had been more interesting to be discussed if the OP had asked " If you are or not afraid to invest in the Bitcoin industry"
It is not everyone that has a biased or doubtful thoughts about Bitcoin so pointing at who being afraid of Investing in Bitcoin is then expected that only those who are afraid of Bitcoin are expected to answer the question.
However, I have got no fear or threats about Bitcoin because its reputabilities are reliable to me.

Hmmm, it is something to be afraid of even despite no one want to fail but still you just have to try because success and failure works together, when you fail you stand up again, because it’s not the end of it but rather it is a one step Ahead for success, because for every successful person in this world most one way the other have definitely encountered by failure and the more you fail the more it teaches you how to stand on your fit to prepare for the next challenges Ahead. So let’s not relent because we have one’s fail in our life when trying to achieve a specific goal, we should always put this in our mind “ we can do it “ and nothing else can stop us except what God has destined to us to get.

why are you scared of investing any ico’s? share your experience.

I have only invested a few times in an ICO, and the investment was not really very profitable after the coin got listed on the exchange. I usually like to invest in a coin when it has been listed on the exchange. For many projects that I know, they usually sell their coins at a high price during ICO, but when they finally list the coin on an exchange, it will be listed with a price that is 5x or 10x less than the price you paid during the ICO, and at such a point, you will just be regretful for buying during the ICO.

With the experience I even had with altcoins, I don't advise crypto newbies to start investing in altcoins; it is better to invest in altcoins when you have taken your time to familiarize yourself with the risks attached. The first choice to consider is Bitcoin, but if the investor wants to accumulate other old altcoins, Ethereum or BNB are recommended.

You are right, most of the ICOs are scam. Some of the coins are shit coin. Why should I indulge in such an investment where as it will soon be in the market? So many years ago, I bought some ICOs and some of the coins were just listed and dumped. If am to say, buying ICOs is not a good idea.

Truth of the fact is, you don't just rush into investing all your money when you don't have experienc or lessons from experts. Before investing your money, you should at least get lessons from experts so as to avoid loss which may cause damage to you in some ways.

I steer clear of investing in them due to the increasing number of scams associated with them.

Putting money into an initial coin offering (ICO) project is similar to having a risky kinda investment but keeping your hands tied to the chest because the majority of them end up being scams, and the ones that look legitimate don't have enough investors to fund them. That will make them not have stunted growth in a crypto sphere that will make them become an abandoned project.

2017-2018 i should say that golden years of ICO on which even just joining up with those bounty campaigns did really generate or give out that $50k as far as i remember..
Those are the years on which ETH is really just that starting up and with those known L1's that we do have in the market now. When it comes to investments then it would
really be needing up that kind of courage and risks taking if you are really that planning to have that kind of possibility on making some income or profit
but of course the risks of losing money is there too. Its matter of acceptance on such situation i should say.

I believe this kind of question can not be asked now because the era of ICO's investment days is far gone. And nobody can think of investing or talking about ICO's investment of late.

I understand the fact you asked this question long ago when ICO's projects were hotcakes kind of investment. Many investors invested in it as of then, towards 2017 and 2018. But here we are in 2024, not to talk about ICOs because of how many were scammed by it.

Not really afraid, more like being cautious.
It's better to be cautious than jump on just any ICO and end up losing your money simply because you want to make more money.
Most of the ICOs that comes into the market are majorly a scam so there's need to apply extreme caution and first carefully scrutinize the project before investing in it before you end up landing yourself in a pothole that'll swallow up your money.

Trading and holding some coins then it would really be two things at a time on which this would really be that requiring that sufficient knowledge and of course that kind of patience on which you would really be needing to have because if you do have these things then you wont really be seeing that kind of progress towards on the path that you are taking. You wont really be getting any
benefit if you would really be finding yourself that being scared on taking upo the risks. You cant really just that make yourself that having that kind of progression if you wont really be taking any risks on which this is something that you would really be needing up to consider.
