Title: Is ICO investment still worth it?
Post by: BattleDog on September 22, 2018, 02:06:37 PM
For the past two months almost all the ICOs i have invested when they get listed on exchange, they are reduced by about 300% of the price i bought it. Those who buy after the ICO tend to gain more profit than we the early adopters. Now am confused whether i should continue with ICO investments or stop. Guys what do you think

ICO investment is of course still very profitable you only need to buy it when pre sale time or private sale to get bonus up to more than 40% in my opinion it is very profitable.Lets you miss an opportunity to invest in ICO.

Yes I think ICO investment is still worth.  It is more profitable.  Many investor prefer to invest in ICO than coin now.

I think that ICO market has to renew their image and methods... a possible solution to gain trust from investors is to use smart contracts to make automatic withdraw return of funds to investorst if for example roadmap is not developed as required, in this way many scams will simply disappear.

Considering the situation on the market, it is best to buy tokens that have just hit the exchanges than to invest in ICO.  If the project is real then it will be more efficient!

Well there are some ICOs that are still worth investing on although there are so many scam ICOs these days so you have to be careful investing on any ICO now.

Ico investments used to be very profitable but now many of them are not worth it anymore. Its better you buy when it gets listed on exchanges because when it gets listed on exchanges, the price is way lower than the price of ico. Very few ICo's with potentials are worth investing in.

Here is an article by Jeffrey Tucker is editorial director of the American Institute for Economic Research.

Collectively, ICOs of 2018 have already raised $11,690,981,663 of investments, which is 10 times bigger than the cumulative sum of investments from ICOs of Q1-2 2017. Excluding EOS, the cumulative amount of funding received from ICOs of Q1-2 2018 is 6.4 times bigger than the one of Q1-2 2017.

The total amount raised in the second quarter of 2018 is: $8.4 billion dollars. That doesn’t sound like a dead market to me. It’s true that half the new ICOs in the second quarter were unable to raise more than $100K in funding. But this suggests a downgrade in the quality of listings. That is no surprise to anyone who has watched this sector over several years. A market with virtually no barriers to entry for upstarts is going to attract...well, just about anyone.

It’s for this reason that only 7% of new tokens have managed to obtain listing on established crypto exchanges. But judging by that standard is an extremely high bar. The exchanges are listing thousands of tokens, and even people who obsessively follow this space have to admit that they can no longer keep up with the volume, variety, and frequency of listings.

It’s too much for anyone.

In that same vein, 55% of all ICOS in Q2 2018 failed to complete crowdfunding. But that is only 5% more than the first quarter, and this is in a period of notable pullback in the markets. And also note that there was an 11% increase in the quantity of projects choosing this funding route.

The report further says:

On average, the top projects for Q2 raised 50 million USD. Only 3 mentioned projects attracted all their funds in the course of 1 day. On average, these projects raised their money within 63 days (the average campaign duration time is the same as in Q1, but there is an evident tendency for an increase, at least by 10%). Compared with Q1, the number of projects offering tokens with service characteristics decreased by 24%. The share of projects that offer security tokens decreased by 8%. The number of projects with utility tokens increased by 32%.

What about geography? Despite all the talk of crypto-utopias being set up in far-away lands, North America is still king of the ICO, with 64.7% of all funding attracted. Second is line is the Singapore, then UK, and then Switzerland. Asia showed an increase in funding but a decrease in the number of new projects.

In terms of sheer numbers of business registrations of high-value tokens, the geography is very different: Malta, Gibraltar, and Singapore rank as the top three. “We attribute this to an openness to blockchain projects and the legal changes enacted by financial authorities in Malta and Gibraltar,” says the report.

Keep in mind that all this happened despite true setbacks in the markets as a whole. The median return on tokens in the second quarter was a dismal -55%. The average number of investors per token was 7,871, showing what a truly thin market we are really talking about. The great exceptions to the general pattern were Telegram (a communications platform) and EOS, which sports a new governance model for decentralized applications.

The least successful ICOs were cryptocurrencies. In that sense, Q2 was the quarter of burnout on this asset. We have more than enough monies, markets seem to be saying. The success leaders were service and utility tokens, which is to say protocol assets not designed for monetary exchange but rather assets backed by new services that exist apart from their fundraising potential.

What industries are we talking about? “Following Q1 trends, the most popular industries with the largest number of projects were finance, gaming, and infrastructure. The number of gaming projects doubled compared with Q1.”

In general, the report has vastly more information and detail than any normal person would ever need to evaluate this new sector of financial life. What it all points to is precisely what many of us came to believe in 2017. Something truly spectacular is taking place that could change finance, investment, and entrepreneurial innovation forever.

So why the long faces? It has something to do with the short-term temperament of the investor community as it developed in 2017. This community became addicted to extremely high returns, fast progress, and the belief that everything was changing much sooner rather than later.

History shows a different reality. Railroads in the 19th century had a long and rough start, and the markets were replete with frauds, mishaps, booms and busts, and hence skepticism. The internal combustion engine for tractors took a whole generation to be widely adopted. Internet commerce experienced a spectacular bust in 1999 that traumatized a generation of investors, and we are only now seeing that anti-digital bias fade from people of a certain age.

In the end, crypto markets can’t be about this quarter’s prices, this year’s high-flying coins, or this or that company’s fate. The confidence that one has in crypto traces to a conviction concerning the technology itself and what it can and is doing for the well-being of the human experience.

I head editorial at the American Institute for Economic Research founded in 1933. I've written 8 books and speak regularly worldwide on topics of money, trade, and innovation. Disclosure: yes, I have personal investments in the cryptoasset sector.

The problem may be on your way to find out the potential ICO for your investment. Since there are many scam and failed ICOs, you need to be smarter in analyzing new ICOs. The ICOs are still worth, you just need to be more careful and selective.

Post by: gotbounty on December 19, 2018, 11:14:37 PM
It will depend on how we make the investment. So far, the coins from ICO always drop drastically after it has been listed ion an exchange. It can drops more than minus 500%. Of course, if you want to get faster profits, ICO is no longer profits, but if you want the long investment method, it is still worth it.
Title: Re: Is ICO investment still worth it?
Post by: Alter on December 19, 2018, 11:27:01 PM
ICO investments will be always worth as long as you know how to choose a good and trust-able projects. I advise to never invest in a new project with unclear information of its team members. You also should analyze that the project will be reasonable on their goals.

As the name is investment, you should know that investing will take a time to gain profits. ICO tokens or coins need a time to improve their prices on exchanges. The reduction on their prices once listed, is caused by dumping and bear market effects. But don't worry, it should rise someday.

By joining and buying coins while still in ico, the advantage is that you can get profit from every ico coin we buy. Especially when the price of coins sold is still very cheap and we can also get a bonus in an amount that can be said to be large, especially when buying in the pre-sale period, almost all of the ico give a bonus of about 50% when still sold. Then when ico is sold and the listing on the market the price can be much higher than the price we bought while still in ico.

One of the advantages of ICO can be 2x. As a basis, we must be able to observe and understand the ICO project. So that we don't get caught up in ICO fraud that can harm us ICO project users. In conclusion, we must be very clever in analyzing each project and prospects before joining ICO

Am afraid that any ICO is worth investing in now as many project is much under way , and many has failed to raise expected funds due to bear market and so much fear from investors too to invest in scam coin as the rate in which ICO are pumping out of recent.

Indeed, in the community they should criticize and support one another, both materially and only with the knowledge we have.
What is clear is that there must be a contribution and create a good ecosystem in it.

Maybe there really are some who are successful until now, but I personally also never knew which one really became a big company that departed from ico like today
Title: Re: Is ICO investment still worth it?
Post by: b-day38 on December 20, 2018, 04:45:42 AM
I think not for now because most of the ICO launched did not reach its target soft so much better to hold all our investment capital and wait for the market to rise prior planning another move in choosing a better project to invest.
Title: Re: Is ICO investment still worth it?
Post by: Luckyperson21 on December 20, 2018, 04:51:01 AM
yes, investment in ico is still profitable. You can get bonuses like 40%, 10%, and others. and on some minimum purchases, you can get merchandise in the form of credit cards, shirts and more.

Recently most of the ico are not good, base in my experience the ico project which I saw most of them ended up into cancellation or paused of their project. Where it leads me into frustration feelings, although they've refund their investors capital. But right now I saw that most of the ico project at rise up so far was good actually, if I am going to compare it before. Meaning at this point of time it is a good time to invest in the ico now and worth it to buy.

ICO tokens or coins need time to increase their prices on the exchange. Their price reduction is once registered, caused by dumping and bearing market effects. But don't worry, it will appear someday. Because it's called investment, you have to know that investing will take time to make a profit.

joining in ICO is not recommended as of now because of market sentiment. Just buy them on exchange. For sure you will have a discount.

You should continue to invest in ICOs. There are still many projects with good concepts and potential products. But you should think to be more selective and careful to choose the trusted one. Some projects may be scam or may fail in fundraising.

This might be due to the ICO not having the hype and cause your investment to fail or can also be because of the bear market that is happening at the moment. Maybe at this moment you should cut down investing in ICO till the market become better.

With investment during ICO, we should get a profit from a discount or from the initial price, but now because of the decline in crypto prices all prices go down, and we are late in predicting this decline, if I hold hold, wait for prices to rise again, and after prices ride we can sell.

I don't think it's easy to be enthusiastic about investing, all this is just a temporary decline, and I'm sure cryptocurrency will rise again, we just need to be patient, and wait for the right time to sell our assets, and do activities such as buying and selling, if we buy coin at ICO, we will get the initial price, and we also get a discount.

Of course you have to invest again in an ICO, because if you buy tokens in an ICO there are many benefits that can be obtained, for example we can get a discount if we buy a certain amount of tokens, and that means our tokens are more compared to the number of purchases.

the name is speculation, you should realize that contributing will set aside an opportunity to pick up benefits. ICO tokens or coins require an opportunity to enhance their costs on trades. The decrease on their costs once recorded, is caused by dumping and bear showcase impacts. In any case, don't stress, it should rise sometime in the not so distant future.

The bear market now don't encourage any ICO buying as the market itself is in bad situation and will be very bad for any ICO now but some still try to list above the ICO price and the rate in which they were dump also makes the price dip beyond the level of imagination as every one is very cautious of the state of the market.

ICO tokens or coins need an opportunity to increase their costs on trading. Decrease their costs after being recorded, due to the impact of dumping and showcase bears. In any case, don't stress, it will appear in the not so distant future. You must realize that contributing will set aside opportunities to take advantage.

For the past two months almost all the ICOs i have invested when they get listed on exchange, they are reduced by about 300% of the price i bought it. Those who buy after the ICO tend to gain more profit than we the early adopters. Now am confused whether i should continue with ICO investments or stop. Guys what do you think
Of course, bad times happen, but be more positive and keep your strategy. In the future, you will meet a lot of such situations, so react with patience.

Thats the key!
There are more then 5000 ICOs listed on some websites, 99% can only be worthless without ideas worth putting millions of $ into.
The fact that most ICOs decrease heavily in price when they are being listed should show that the market is still driven by hype at the moment.

If Bitcoin and Ethereum prices can be in high rates again, I think ICO investment will be worth. You should monitor the progress of their prices in the early of this year. ICOs depend on Ethereum, and Ethereum depend on Bitcoin. That's why I talk about these coins.

According to me, it is still feasible when the ICO does not become a SCAM, before also having to check the #DevelopmentTeam  before investing in the ICO.
Suppose when the ICO is launched when the price of Ethereum is around 85 USD and now the price is around 160 USD, we have already estimated profit.

At the moment, investing in ICO doesn't exist. Most coin projects are easier to buy when they go public than at the ICO stage. But this is not the main problem. The most important problem is that most of the projects are scammers. While the market is at the stage of formation and this will continue.

There was a lot of deception in the ICO, and strong projects constantly postponed the start date or exit to the stock exchange. You can invest now, but you need a very detailed approach to the project. The team should be more open, that would be credible.

Of course it is but you can say not every ICO is going to be a big boom or worth project nowadays there hundreds of projects striving to achieve their goal that they aim to but it can be a fake as well so you gotta learn the project from the beginning and find it's information to be available everywhere and not hidden means they are real and open to the people. As an example DexAge p2p Escrow Trading platform, from my searches it's clear and transparent project with all information that you need you are able to find. Nothing to hide. Such projects wort a shot also they've been listed on Latoken already where you can see the statistics of raised funds which shows you the popularity for investment.

Most companies that start up ICO simply fail to fulfill their promises: they cannot create the need for tokens, there is no cash flow, there is no ICO experience so when choosing ICO, it is important not only to be able to recognize the fraudsters, but also to assess the company's chances of success.

Now it does not make sense to participate in ICO - only in Private Sale.  Reason: after listing on the exchange, you can buy tokens or coins much cheaper than on the main ICO (discounts on Private Sale now play a decisive role).
