Why ICO | Engaging Cryptocurrency and ICO 2018

Are you one of those individuals who have a vast idea about ICO, cryptocurrency such a BitcoinEtherium, the blockchain, crypto market and other crypto world kinds of stuff? Or a professional investor who has a lot of experiences in crypto trading and investing? Then maybe it will give you less interest in reading this. However, I will also feature atleast 1 ICO which is very interesting for me since it is very capable of helping our society nowadays.  This blog is also intended for those individuals who don't have any idea or if they heard it, knows very little about what mentioned above. Or I shall say in Layman's term, this blog is intended for "newbies" in crypto world. 


Hello there readers! My name is Earl. Few months ago I was also a newbie who has a big desire for learning things like this. It all started when one of my friends kept on telling me to try to invest some of my money into an ICO. The first time I heard the word "ICO", I was thinking about an international food chain group, making their shares available in the stock market like McDonalds,  Max`s, Jollibee etc.


I became so interested in my friend's idea because the fast-food franchising business in my country is doing really good. So "Why not?!" I said. But then I was so surprised when he said that it's not about the stock exchange market, it's about cryptocurrency. Which I don't really have any idea on what it is and how it works. 


Due to curiosity, I've done lots of research and studies about how to get engaged in this field and how to earn - especially in ICO (initial coin offerings). Then I started to get engaged by participating in some events. I admit that it is not easy for me at first, based on the fact that I have ZERO knowledge about this. Since I don't know most of the words used, I kept on reading websites for updates, lots of blogs in (this site is very helpful ICOBAZAAR), and always asked the help of my friends whenever there are things that I need to understand.


I'm not saying that I've already become "pro" or very knowledgeable in this field, however, I just want to share, up to my level, and give everything I've learned about cryptocurrency(kinds of tokens), what is blockchain, what is ICO and how it works, how to earn easy coins, how to make your own crypto wallet, and lastly, I will give you some pros and cons of ICO. Perhaps I will give you a walk-through on how to earn points inside a project through affiliation or referral. I know that there are still more for me to learn. And if I learned it thoroughly, I definitely love to share it with you. I hope you will get some insights and in return, share it to some newbies you knew.



What Is ICO and How it works | 2017 ICO Status

Initial Coin Offering (ICO) have created a huge attention in the virtual world nowadays. Its a fund-raising initiative by a certain company to meet up the funds required to start a project. 


Built over the blockchain, a company will generate/create a Token (a virtual currency for making and receiving payments inside the Blockchain) and invite investors to purchase the token at a lower price or simply saying, "at a discount". The money received will be used in the development of a future product or services.


This Token is promised to increase its value after the ICO get started. It can be compared to the stock market. If the demand for the product will increase, its price will also increase. In ICO, this is determined by the funds that the company received. If the token will be appreciated in the cryptomarket and a lot of investors are investing, the value of the token also elevate. It's more like a race.

According to the data graph released by ICOdata, there are 873 ICOs in total(successful and unsuccessful). Raising funds dramatically breached to $6,137,710,958. And Piccolo Research said, there are 10 ICOs emerging per day. 


Later on my other page, I will give you a sample company which is currently doing an ICO event. This company is really interesting that if you invest, you feel like you are a HERO.

It generates virtual tokens and sell it to the early backers for a low price or with percentage and expect the token to raise its price during the project begin its operation.

Because of the excellent reputation of BITCOIN, the number of the companies doing ICO also increased, aiming to promote the developed token in the market. It might be risky to invest however in the crypto trade world, investing in an ICO is the most profitable thing to do. Why? Here are some benefits and its reason.

  •  NO HARD WORK




Do you believe in saying, Hardwork Pays Off? Well, this is an exception. you can also earn with just a little amount of work. By only reading online the Whitepaper(Project Plan/Content) of the ICO you will know if you are investing in a profitable company. Meaning, it will give you "to invest or not" option. And furthermore, it will save your time.



  •  EASY EARNING






Prior to the launching of an ICO, the token you invest has the lowest price value. When the ICO hit the mainstream, it has a very high possibility to have a high demand on the products or services offered in the market. The higher the demands are, the value of your invested token will also increase. Make sure to sell your token at this point to get decent earnings.




  • A WIN-WIN CATCH





It surely results in positive impact when investing in ICO. The Entrepreneur will be able to raise its fund needed for the project and you as an Investor will gain a decent profit margin in a short period of time.



  •  SECURED






When searching promising ICO that fits for your investment, you must also consider reading the Whitepaper of that particular ICO. The legit one includes the names and contact information of the individuals behind the project. However you have to remember this point, "if the Products and Service`s promises are too good to be true, It is mostly not a secured ICO or its a scam ICO". 



  •  A BIG HELP







This venture is not only centered on Entrepreneur-Investor`s gain. Most of the start-ups develop a P&S aiming to do something on the problem arises in the present situation of the community. Such as traffic problems, health, data sharing, etc. making the community aware that there are hopes or way for them to resolve their problems.


Remember, do thorough research on the possible ICO to invest on. If necessary, contact them and ask everything you want to know regarding the project. What mentioned above are just 5 reasons for you to invest in ICO. There are a lot more reasons which motivated many individuals who are constantly earning now. 




ICO Risks | Some Disadvantages


Investing in an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is like a gamble. It has a win-or-loss chance. From the title itself “INITIAL”, it means that the project is not stating yet. Or to make it simple, it’s only a “Concept”. The idea is to raise funds from the investors by selling its generated tokens at the low price and promise to make the token`s value increase on the given time. Well, to be honest, its possible provided that the ICO is successful.

According to the article released by Bitcoin, almost half or 46% of the ICOs last 2017 failed.  Leaving all its investor empty-handed. Yet, there are still ICO start-ups who are eager to be in the limelight. And the numbers are kept on increasing.

These are Some Disadvantages of Investing in an ICO. 


  • NO GUARANTEE



Since the project has not started yet, you cannot conclude that it will be successful with respect to the timeframe given by it whitepaper. There are no guarantees for the Token you invested to increase its value at the time when the ICO begins.

  • NO RULES



Almost all counties around the world, still don’t come up with the rules governing ICO`s. Meaning, if the ICO failed its operation or come to a downfall, it's merely impossible for you to run after them and ask for your money back.

  • PRONE TO HACKERS



We all know that ICO`s are built over the Blockchain which is decentralized or a public open ledger, given that all informations are impossible to manipulate, we cannot disregard the fact that in this world, there are talented hackers who are interested on this. They even hacked American Central bank before, which is said to be the most secured banking system in the world.

  • MOST OF THE INVESTORS ARE NOT EXPERTS



Let`s just make this short. ICO somehow doesn’t care about who’s investing. As long as investors are capable to provide for their funds, they are good to go. It means that most of the ICO investors are only enthusiasts aiming to be the next millionaire.

  • GENERATED TOKEN VALUE IS NOT STATIC



You might think that if you invest token during the ICO, when it comes to the operational stage, your token always increases its value and will not return to its original value which is very low. Wrong! It will depend always on the demands. Such as, if the demand for the product or service offered by ICO decreases, meaning a little number of customers are interested, the value the token will also decrease.

All of this is summed up to one word. “RISKS”. This article is not suggesting that you must turn your back from ICO investing. In fact, it aims to make investors aware that there are things like this to consider and challenge themselves to conduct more studies before engaging with ICOs. Besides, sometimes we tend to take risks in order to be successful.




Tokens | Security Tokens vs Utility Tokens

SECURITY TOKENS

    Security tokens are crypto tokens issued to investors in exchanged with there money during the ICO event. This token is designed for pure investment. In can pay a dividend, share profits and expect returns. Allowing its investor to take part in the decision making of the ICO. It is governed by the security and regulation of the federal government and failure to meet and comply with this regulation will subject to a costly penalty or closure of the project. This kind of token is prohibited in some countries.  


    UTILITY TOKENS

      It is more called as an App Coin or App Token it has a utility purpose inside the blockchain that a certain ICO team created. the token is properly instructed to gain only a portion access to a company`s future products or services. This token is exempted from the federal laws governing securities.

      Cryptocurrency Wallet | Tutorial on How to create your own Cryptowallet

      In the crytpo trading, you must have your own wallet for your cryptocurrencies. A cryotocurrency wallet stores your private keys so as your public keys. This wallet can interact with the blockchain in order to see the status of the cryptocurrencies. This is very essential since this is where you make and receive your transactions. There are numbers of downloadable wallet available in the net. However, I will just discuss what I am using.

      From here, since I am a myetherwallet user, we will create a sample MEW ( MyEtherWallet) account for learning purposes.



      • First, on your computer, go to the address bar and type myetherwallet.com website.  




      • The very first thing you should do is to create your own wallet address and private key.




      • By typing your strong password and clicking the "Create New Wallet", it will prompt you to the next panel in which you have to download your keystore/utc/json file and open it with a readable environment such as notepad or msWord. Since it is a very long alphanumerical key, some of the individuals I knew, print it and kept it in a safe and place where no can touch it. This is how it looks like.
      Take a look at the quotation. That is how important the file is




      • Sample  keystore/utc/json file 



      Warning: This is only a sample file.


      • After downloading and keeping your keystore/utc/json file  (if you save it on your computer, consider it a risk), click on "I understand. Continue.". This will be the next thing that you can see.






      • You will be given your own private key. And if you click print(don't worry, it won't directly print. it will show you the page content for printing), you will have your complete account information.


      woooooolaaaah! You have your own MEW address and Private Key!



      • You will use this information for purchasing, sending, selling etc.. that's why you have to remember always the Quote above. Of course, you still have the option if you want to save it. But take my recommendation just like I did before - warned by the knowledgeable individuals. 


      OK! Let's check if we did it correctly. Let`s check what's inside your account.


      • Click the "View Wallet Info" and click Keystore/Json file or Private key to check your info. I suggest that you will use the Private key. It is more convenient. Type your Private Key on the box provided at the side.





      • After you type you Private Key correctly(or else it won't go through), it will give you an option that says "unlock". - Click and it will automatically prompt you to your account.





      • Inside your account, you will see 8 main parts. Let me elaborate. 
           A: This is Mew Address. If you're going to make a transaction and you have to receive tokens, make sure that you will give this. Not the Private Key. 
         B: This is the Private Key. notice that it is encrypted even though you are the owner? It is for the reason that if you check your account elsewhere, it won't give someone a chance to glimpse it. But don't worry, just click the "eye" icon and you can see it. 
          C: this is your account balance. Since Mew is on Etherium platform, it uses ETH. 
           D: This will list all the transactions that you have made. 
          E: You can see here the value of your ETH vs other tokens. 
          F. QR code for your Mew Address. 
          G: Option to print your information. And lastly 
          H: QR code for you Private Key which is also encrypted for the same reason stated above.

      On the Home page of MEW there are still more tabs to click which on this picture I put a red circle on it. Of course, each has different functions. Such as sending, accepting, buying, selling tokens, checking the status of you MEW etc, be updated with new value of some tokens, etc.. However I'm not going to explain it all, for the reason that it will take time for me to explain all its functions. Besides, you can also find some explanation of functions in some sites or links such as CryptoCompare and CoinSutra
