What is an ICO?
An ICO is a shortage for Initial Coin Investment (offering). Similar to a stocks IPO, These initial offerings of tokens serve the purpose of funding a company’s idea and turn it into a product or a service for the needs of the future.
A company, during its ICO, offers you a part of their tokens for a low price, before they hit the exchanges and increase in valuer. This method does not only allow you to make a quick profit by trusting a company’s idea, but also rewards you for being one of the few that offer their capital for the company’s further development.
Companies give you their tokens in exchange for (mostly) BTC or ETH. They proceed to use these currencies to pay for the growth of their team, their investors, their advisors, their marketing campaigns and, of course, themselves.
Participating in an ICO ensures that the tokens you receive are cheap, often have a bonus included, and allow you to be part of the birth and growth of a new company.
