what makes an ICO investment risky?

[princessgirl]

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.

Actually ICO is not so risky if we can distinguish which ICO is good and which is bad by doing research starting from white paper, the website, then the team and so on. 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.

[Ghozrd]

All forms of investment are risky, I am sad to see so many ico scams, investing in ico is risky because there is no legal entity that regulates ico and if you read the whitepaper from the ico project, you will see the same message, like all forms of investment in ico,requires you to do research first before investing

we do not guarantee if you experience a loss that results in part of your money being lost when the coin is listed on the stock and into your wallet.

ICO investment is at risk because of our carelessness and our lack of knowledge about ICO. So that we are sometimes wrong in making decisions by investing in a less good ICO Project or Scam. That makes the risk at ICO even greater. Therefore we must learn a lot about ICO so that we can minimize the risks.

We are talking about ICO investment here so I do not know where the

not all coins are worth keeping for long term

came from. If you have no plans to keep it long term, then do not invest in an ICO. Short term ICO investment is where the dumping comes from.

I object on the part that some coin not worth for long term hold. Some coins have relatively potential idea and you're saying some aren't worth holding? Maybe those shitty pum and dump coins who has listed exchange but no product to show or demonstrate.

[Elevteros]

All right  Investing in the blind is not worth it, because it greatly increases the risk of misuse of the resulting tokens!

I think if we want to invest in the ICO we should first examine a project that we are going to follow, so don't be provoked by iming an abundance of bonuses from an ICO project, because there are a lot of frauds on behalf of the ICO.

[pelana vreo]

Actually investing in ico is not risky if you have good knowledge about the projects they have developed, have friends and discuss projects on their telegram channel, so you can conclude this project really has a good team. Many ico are successful now, but because of some fraud, someone is waiting for the listed coins to be exchanged when ico takes place and investors start believing so they participate in ico's investment

It's also easily to find some risky ICO when they are offering a huge profit even from your small investments on their project.

[densuj]

Well an ICO makes risky if we don't know anything about the projects of ICOs, if we don't know about their products, the developer of team and any other aspects fundamental of ICO projects. Should before we make investment in ICOs projects makes sure we have knew more about the ICOs projects, including the management of money when investment in the ICO, how much the money will be used for investment in the ICO projects.
And this way can be used on all of instrument of investment including in stocks markets. Unfortunatelly there are no many people who know about it and they never learn more about the investment in their life.

[horseheadnebula]

Lots of factors can make it risky.

The project can never reach real life adoption and it may fail. It may be a scam. There are so many risks involved. However if you DYOR right then you can't go wrong. You need some experience to invest in ICOs.

which makes ICO investment at risk for now there are many rampant coins / tokens whose origins are unclear, if you still want to invest in ICO it is better to find out exactly what you are investing to look for profits or losses. ICO price is achieved when entering the market. I am better off looking for coins / tokens that are clear

These "investors" on short term plan are the same people who dumps once the coin or token is listed on an exchange. These are probably the same people who intends to sell immediately and buy more once the price dips.

[trauchot]

You are absolutely right in thinking, you should always approach the study of any project with full care and caution, because there are a lot more scam projects now than there was before and you should not forget that you should always make profit in time and not stay too long to wait for the incredible price of a token.
