ICO returns is not a sure get rich quick strategy

[Ambatman]

Many coins like shibainu, pepe among others has made many see the returns one can gain from ICO's
Neglecting the fact that with great returns comes great risk.
Not all ICO are profitable
Most either performs way poorly than expected(LHINU) or are scam (Aitraider).
Many fall victim of the post of most blogs that this is the next big coin or *30 potential.
There's a reason DYOR exist in the crypto community.
Before entering into any ICO or already listed coin
Investigate the developers, the marketers (this is very important since its tied to how big the community would grow)
Their sponsor's, the community especially through social media platform like X
Not excluding the coin usage, and reason it was created.


Crypto is profitable but associated with its own risk
Do try to research on your own
Rather than following the words of bloggers.

Yang Shiba Inu and Pepe Coin have big investors who support them, or whale investors. But the majority of meme coin projects can't deny that the risk volatility is very high; that's true. So if you have enough knowledge about the selection of new coins that will appear in this business field, you will know for sure if they have potential or just hype.

But if there is nothing and you just rely on it because there are many people who tell you that it is okay, there is also a high chance that the capital that you will use in an investment will be in jeopardy. As some say, always do your own research.

You're right crypto-currencies mostly the newly launched ones are very risky and someone who invests in those newly launched coins or tokens without proper researching may face huge losses. I'm a crypto-currency investor myself and I highly suggest investors to be careful when investing in any new projects because the risks with such projects are way higher as compare to the existing ones.

Those social media influencers, YouTubers and bloggers promote the coins because they get paid for that and someone who blindly follows their advice can face huge losses. Do your own research and when you're sure that a project is good and has a solid background only then you should go for it, otherwise ignore it at any cost.

Actually many coins from Icos are no longer profitable the ways was back in 2016/2017. Many of the newly launched coin/tokens are mostly listed on project ICO prices making it uninteresting to many investors especially the smaller investors. Some of these new project have various sales options, like presale, with different price, and public sales with different prices and even IDO with different sale prices. The listing price of many of these project are very annoying, imagine buying a coin on certain presale at $0.02 and it was listed at $0.02 and when price rise a little many people dumped the coin. Infact, ICOs are no profitable investments these days.

ICO is a story of the past, currently new projects have many ways to reach investors: IDO on Launchpads or IEO on CEXs. These two ways are both better for investors because their team and project have been verified and evaluated by a reputable third party such as Launchpad or CEX.
Investors in the crypto market have also become more alert, they often only invest a small portion of their capital in new projects, most will invest in tokens with transparent products and teams.

ICO success depends on the project innovation and investors' trust. The team is also a main component to look at before investment. Nowadays, most of the ICOs are just shit projects looking to scam investors and participants. It is advisable to invest in ICOs now. Although there are ICO projects which give you good profit, they are very limited in number, and you have to be an expert to find such projects. After 2018, there were only a few profitable ICOs, and the majority were not even listed on any exchange.

since the time where SEC is hunting down projects selling their token to US citizens during its ICO, the ICOs are slowing down. but now that they see SEC is losing this game, they are now trying to come back though.

there are now teams doing ICO again. i guess we are slowly going back to 2017 and starting all over again.

Yes, now a days most of the ICOs are scams and the ones who invest in them often lose the money that they have invested. If an ICO isn't getting any investment then it won't grow and if the team behind the ICO is unknown then again they won't gain any investors and no body would waste their time to promote those ICOs.

I would recommend everyone to be careful from new ICO's because out of 10 we may have 1 or 2 good projects, the rest of them are created to scam the investors.

Yeah especially Binance's
Their listed coin overall returns beats their dumps.
I believe the success stems from peoples confidence in the CEX.

Then I can just add that even if the ICO comes back in these times, I don't think it will happen again in the times of 2016–2017, when many people got really big profits in cryptocurrency because of the ICO.

Maybe only a select ICO can really give a good profit to those who will participate in their projects in the field of crypto. Of course, as you said, there are still many scam projects, so we should be cautious, especially newbies.

Yes, there can be a few ICO projects that could give some good profits but finding those good projects is a really difficult task. We don't really know that which ICO is going to be a trusted project or which one is being run by a scammer.

The scammers have launched thousands of tokens and they have loot a lot of money from the investors. They know the psychology of the investors and that's why they get success in looting money out of those investors pockets. So, I would also tell everyone to be cautious when investing in a ICO or a token that's launched on presale sites.

The ICO era has ended. And it is true that there may still be many new projects that use this method, but actually this method is no longer effective. ICO is just a way for developers and their teams to collect money from investors, after which they only care about that money. There are very few ICOs that actually sustain their project for its development and succeed. Yes, there are, but only a small part. That's why at the moment, ICOs are not an easy way to get more money because the era is over and many people are getting smarter about not getting involved in ICOs.

[Thyplaymaker]

ICO are not the way they where before. Like this days we all see the performance of shiba inu, even pepe and others. During the time of shiba inu most people that invest in the range of $2 eventually end up becoming a million dollars  richer due to its great percentage. So there are still good and legit ICO at there. And they are also scam ICO project. That is always advisable to invest what you're willing to risk.So that even though is legit or not you know that if you want to experience any losses is something that won't affect you that much while if it's legit you know you gonna earn massively.

Signature campaigns are unlikely to ever regain their former appeal that they had in 2017-2018. Back then, even an ordinary member could quite often earn several thousand dollars for participating in one ICO. Teams often allocated 200-300 thousand dollars for a signature campaign, which was then the only one without social networks. Now, signature campaigns cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Therefore, there is no longer talk of quickly enriching bounty hunters through participation in ICOs.

As a general rule in crypto, I dont subscribe or buy into projects that offer or promise a certain ROI.   That is a certified ponzi and such purported pyramid schemes always collapse at a certain point. So no, I wont buy into those ICOs, and most times my gut feelings are correct
