2018年对于加密货币市场来说是艰难的一年，首当其冲的就是ICO。今年一季度的ICO难以盈利，大部分交易所的代币交易，不管是USD还是以太坊，都出现了亏损，。因此，预售环节是实现盈利的唯一时机，即便这样不太会成功但至少也是种尝试。
The 2018 was a tough year for the crypto-money market, and the first was ICO. It was hard to make a profit in the first quarter of this year, and most of the exchange's trading of tokens, whether in USD or Ethernet, was lost. Therefore, the pre-sale link is the only time to achieve profitability, even if this is not very successful but at least it is an attempt.
在本周六MIT的比特币展上，Christian Catalini称40%-50%的ICO项目都以低于首次发行的价格进行交易。News.Bitcoin.com 经过对Tokendata和 ICO Stats上2018年的数据进行了研究，因此能确保上述结论是根据合理的依据得出的。
事实上，今年74个ICO项目的78%已经出现了赤字。交易所的这56个ICO项目的交易都出现了亏损，每个美元的投资回报率仅为0.45倍。ICO Stats计是基于代币公开发售前的价格计算投资回报率，而不是面向公众发行的价格，因此这74个ICO项目的回报率实际上要比描述的低）。
以太坊的价格自今年年初就开始下跌，因此，基于它的网络发行的每个ICO的回报率都降低了。然而，即便2018年的ICO亏损是按ETH计算的，亏损率仍为10%。无论这些数字是如何处理的，投资ICO项目目前看来是风险很高的操作，从统计上来说，不太可能产生短期利润。
一旦这些项目的架构得到了发展，同时，市场也复苏了，这些项目可能会产生相应的利润。但如果投资者能够在过渡时期以低廉的价格在交易所购买这些代币，那就完全不符合公开售卖的目的。
根据Coinist.io的数据显示，2017年ICO项目的平均投资回报率为573%。而今年，仅仅只有Zilliqa的ICO超过了这个数字。从去年来看，Spectrecoin的回报率为46000%, Storj的回报率为7600%, Populous的回报率为5400%，Qtum的回报率为4500%。对于2018年的ICO项目来说，还有时间可以改善。现在投资者只要看见他们的代币变绿了就感到很高兴。从一段时间来看，从预售上获利是唯一的途径。
在这一阶段，深度贴现意味着在公开出售时，通常只剩下很少的代币，而这些价值再加上市场状况，几乎是不可能获利的。
今年，22个ICO项目的价格都上涨了，但这其中只有两种是APP代币。其他的从某种程度上来说都是基于区块链架构发展的项目，都是在dApp类目下的，比如DEXes，新链或者是其他的扩展解决方案。
如果你打算投资一个ICO项目，那么，你要清楚的是：要有选择性，选择区块链项目而不是区块链平台上的某个项目，并确保你能够进入预售阶段。否则，你只会浪费时间和你的以太坊。
At the Saturday mit bitcoin show, Christian Catalini said 40%-50% 's ICO projects were traded at prices lower than the first issue. News.Bitcoin.com has studied data for 2018 years on Tokendata and ICO stats, thus ensuring that the conclusions are based on reasonable grounds.
In fact, 78% of the 74 ICO projects this year already have a deficit. Trading in the 56 ICO projects on the exchange has suffered losses, with the return on investment of only 0.45 times times per dollar. The ICO stats is based on the price before the public offering of tokens, rather than on the public offering, so the rate of return for these 74 ICO projects is actually lower than the description.
The price of the ether has fallen since the start of the year, so the rate of return for each ICO based on its network is lower. However, even if the 2018-year ICO loss was calculated by ETH, the loss rate remained at 10%. Regardless of how these figures are handled, the investment ICO project now appears to be a risky operation and, statistically speaking, is unlikely to generate short-term profits.
Once the structure of these projects has been developed and the market has recovered, these projects may generate corresponding profits. But if investors can buy these tokens on the exchange at a low price during the transition period, it is totally out of line with the purpose of public selling.
According to Coinist.io data, the 2017 ICO project's average ROI was 573%. This year, only Zilliqa's ICO exceeded that number. From last year's view, Spectrecoin's return was 46000%, Storj's return was 7600%, and Populous's return was 4,500%. For the 2018-year ICO project, there is still time to improve. Now investors are happy to see their tokens turn green. From a time of view, the only way to profit from pre-sale.
At this stage, deep discounting means that in the open sale, there is usually only a small number of tokens, which, combined with market conditions, are almost impossible to profit from.
Prices for 22 ICO projects have risen this year, but only two of them are app tokens. Other projects that are based on block chain architecture in some way are in the Dapp category, such as dexes, new chains, or other extended solutions.
If you plan to invest in an ICO project, it is clear that you have to be selective, select a block chain project instead of a project on the block chain platform, and make sure you are able to enter the pre-sale phase. Otherwise, you will only waste time and your etheric square.
