Do you guys use ICO listing to find an ICO to invest in or is there some other place to look for one? I just don't think I can trust ICO calendars so much.

I already know what areas I should look at when choosing an ICO but I don't know exactly where to start. Is there any reliable platform for whatever kind where I can find a good ICO to invest in? Which channel do you trust?

I actually sold mine when it was still around 400. Good thing I did! But I'm planning to buy more when the price drops even lower. Buy low, Sell high!

With the number of scam and/or unsuccessful ICOs, do you still recommend investing in one or two? Why should or shouldn't I?

I did and it was the best decision I made. I sold when bitcoin was around 7k+ dollars because I panicked. Good thing I did!

They seem biased to me. A friend of mine who's doing an ICO told me that they paid 10ETH for 5 quality ratings and that's that! I noticed that some ICOs with good project, team, and good social media presence are struggling with getting good reviews.

With all that said, should it still be a factor to look at when investing in ICO?

What are the perks of investing in ICO? To my understanding, the returns on ICOs are quite higher than on altcoins but can also be risky. What else do I need to put in mind?

What are the factors to consider when participating in an ICO? I know this is subjective and depends on what kind of risk taker you are but if you are to list down the 5 most important factors, what will they be?

I think this can also help other people who are new to ICO to be more selective in where they invest and protect themselves from being scammed.

Definitely hold. Cutting losses now wouldn't do any good. Hold it a little longer, besides, the market is looking good. Buy low, sell high.

What coins do you suggest for long-term holding? Bitcoin and Ethereum excluded.

Diversify! Do both Buy-and-Hold and Buy-and-Sell strategy so you get the best of both worlds. Hold major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc. while trade other less known coins from time to time.

It feels like it's this time of the year again for the bullish market. Not sure if it's gonna the same as last year though. But many will recover. Whaddya think?

I doubt that people who bought Bitcoin in the last quarter of 2017 can recover there loses by the end of this year. But I would agree with some statements here saying that Bitcoin is beginning to become more stable.

Market is looking good right now. Let's see what happens in the next few months.

As much as it's nice to invest in ICOs, lots of them are scams and only after for the $$$. I highly suggest you study the following before considering to invest:

1. Team - See the credibility of the team by visiting their website and checking out the team section and their linkedin/twitter accounts.
2. Whitepaper - Take time to read their whitepaper and understand what makes their project feasible, not just unique (many unique and untried projects are difficult to implement).
3. Community - Do visit the ICO's telegram and other social media account to see how the community responds to the project. 
4. Online activities - Having a lot of online activities like blogs and articles, social media posts, videos, etc. is sign of an active and healthy ICO.

There are other factors for sure but these are the 4 major things to consider for me. Good luck in your journey!

Hi SamanthaLayla!

We're glad to be of service. We sure hope the same thing as you. Thanks!

Hi Cryptoreal6!

You can buy up to 500k USD equivalent of QEY tokens. The minimum, on the other hand, is 1ETH.

Thanks for your interest in AQWIRE!

Hi Jolly_Trader!

I completely understand your skepticism. I'll try to answer your sentiments in the best way I can.

1. This is true. There are countries out there that have very strict regulations on the usage of cryptocurrencies. But it is also a fact that there are countries who are lenient when it comes to this. The first rule of marketing is you cannot target everybody. You can only create a strategy that targets a specific segment. That is the reason why crypto payment is just ONE of the options buyers can choose from when paying for their properties using AQWIRE. This option is for buyers with the ability to use cryptos for payments.

Qwikwire, AQWIRE parent company, has already been processing cross-border payments for real estate. We process Debit card, Credit card, and even ACH payments. This gave us a leeway to incorporate the AQWIRE platform with Qwikwire so we can accept payments as such through the platform. Our partnership with SCI was a way for us to include crypto payments in our payment options.

With this, buyers will have the freedom to choose from Debit/Credit card, ACH, or Crypto to settle their payment from their property developer, be it for reservation fee, monthly amortization, or association dues.

2. This is a very nice question. Using blockchain to empower AQWIRE is not just for the sake of having a buzzword in our tagline. The reasons why we are betting on the technology are the following:

- Processing documents like translations and legal will be much more efficient through blockchain
- Smart Contracts automates the verification of transactions, thus reducing unnecessary intermediaries
- Efficient and more reliable property search process through blockchain-enabled international listing platform
- It helps with escrow transactions, title registry, and transfers
- Key terms of the sale agreement will be recorded on the blockchain and this becomes the smart contract
- Help with booking and reservations, payment validation, and blockchain KYC.

With so many scam ICOs, it is very normal to doubt one's project success. But we believe our rigorous efforts to develop the AQWIRE platform will soon pay off. Thank you so much for engaging in a conversation with us. I truly hope I answered your questions. Have a nice day!

Hi batang_bitcoin!

There must have been a miscommunication here. While it is true that a handful real estate transactions have already been done using Bitcoin, majority of property developers are still averse to partner with crypto payment gateways and accept reservation and monthly payments in form of cryptocurrencies. Those real estate transactions with cryptocurrency involved are mostly, if not all, pre-owned units sold to another buyer. What AQWIRE is building is a marketplace where buyers from anywhere in the world can buy brand new units from any country they wish, with the option of paying using debit/credit card, ACH, or major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.

Qwikwire, AQWIRE's parent company, has already been processing cross-border payments for property developers. Our partnership with SCI is just a stepping stone for us to begin processing real payments through a crypto payment gateway. We will be launching our MVP this Q3 2018 with property developers from the Philippines on-boarded. In Q4, we will be expanding in Thailand and Vietnam to start on-boarding developers from there as well.

I hope I have cleared whatever misunderstanding we have caused. If you have any more questions, please drop us a message on our telegram channel: t.me/aqwire

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the kind words Qiman! We know that our rigorous efforts in building this platform will pay off soon and help bridge the gap between property developers and buyers from all around the world, regardless of the distance barrier. We believe that extending our payment options and including crypto payments will benefit those who wish to turn their portfolio into more tangible assets like properties and real estate.

Thank you so much for your support! Have a nice ahead!
