what makes an ICO investment risky?

[JaymondStark]

First of all, you don't know the project area most probably.
Token metrics are important to investigate so that you don't get f.cked on the road.
There are no any regulations, so that project owners can fly away with the money.

I think we can say that ico is too risky to invest because lots of ico project are gone quickly and it goes to scam, people investing ico because they really think that they can gain big profits when ico get listed into an exchage they take the risk to think they can earn more from their investment, indeed i must say it's too risky to invest in ico.

It is necessary to study the project completely, review the technical document, review the website, the roadmap, here you can find many things, some are even too lazy to spend money on the website and then everything becomes clear. And most importantly, study the project team, study everyone directly, follow the links to their names, see their type of activity, and so on. You will need to write to them all and get an answer. if the project writes that it does not want to show the command, then it is 99.9% SCAM!

I think, what makes ICO investment at risk right now is that there are many unknown coins and tokens, the origins are not clear, so if you still want to invest in ICO, I think you better find out what You invest to make a profit or loss. because ICO prices are reached when entering the market. so I'm better off looking for clear coins and tokens

what makes ico risky cause some ico's are scam so to avoid scam we need to research about the project. know their website, whitepaper, teams identity cause some project are using the picture of different person and put it in their website and label the team or devs pic. so be careful

 ICO  investment  is  risky,   in   the  sense  that  most   the  coin  and  token   are  new  and   unknown  to us,  base  on  this  people  are  stired,  because  of  the  scam  one. If  you  want  to  invest  in  ICO  make  sure  you  are  vigilante.

From there later when you have been able to research the ICO project well, I am sure in the future the risk will not occur and can be minimized. I am very sure of that.

investing in ico is really more risky this time due to the continuous rising of the scam ICO on the crypto feild. A lot of ico is scammed and if we are going to invest on it we can surely loss profits. Those scammed ICO is one of the factors that affect crypto feild today, the trust is really important it can really affect the crypto. If scam ICO will still exist in the future maybe the trust of the community in crypto will be lost.

nvestment in digital currencies aka cryptocurrency is increasingly prevalent throughout the world, including in Indonesia. This is because the potential for cryptocurrency profits is high, although at the same time the risks faced by investors are also high.

Right. Investing in ICO requires research to understand the project developers. Investment in ICO is not as binding as investing in other physical projects, but sometimes ICO investments can get quick profits like last 2017 and can get long profits like this year. I think an investor must know this condition.

[inewoods]

ICO investments like any other investment becomes risky when an investor invests blindly without any knowledge about the details of the portfolio or coin. Researching into the coin or ICO gives a clue on either to choose a short term or long term investment plan for the coin because not all coins are worth keeping for long term.

What you are saying is more to the knowledge of choosing a coin to hold and invest, to me what is more risky is the highly volatile market just like bitcoin rollercoaster up and down in 1-2 years and it is scary and if you look deeper many ICO coins suffer the same fate also once they are out into the market. So choose your coins wisely if not you will see your investment go down the drain the next day.

[Nisa12]

all investments or businesses must have risks including ICO and trade.
we have risks at ICO when the project fails if it works, we will also benefit. for long-term investments all coins can be relied upon but those that have high prices, not all coins

[Criptomen]

It seems to me that, in not a successful investment, greed affects more, everyone wants everything at once and a lot, without studying the project, invest where large profits, forgetting or not knowing about the big risks, because few people want to carry money to the Bank under some miserable few percent a year, when a large amount is on the horizon.

[Nestle]

yes I agree with you. not all ico projects are used as long-term investments. You have to choose according to the benefits obtained if you invest in the ico project. like a product that is widely used by people and easy to transact.

[Jaguar]

Wether we like it or not the answer why investment in ICO is risky due to unsecured profit at the end of prospect schedules. The 50/50 ratio challenge the investors critical thinking.
