Hello, crypto enthusiasts! 🌟 Ametisto here, welcoming you to ICO Week—a deep dive into one of the most revolutionary fundraising methods in the blockchain world! 🚀

Let’s start with the basics: What is an ICO?

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a method used by blockchain-based projects to raise funds. Think of it as the crypto equivalent of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the stock market—but instead of buying shares, investors buy tokens. These tokens can later be used within the project’s ecosystem or even traded on exchanges, depending on the project’s success.

But does every ICO token see a massive surge in price right after launch? Not necessarily. While some tokens experience early price spikes due to hype and speculation, others may remain undervalued or even lose value. This often happens because initial token prices are based more on speculation than intrinsic value.

How are token prices decided?

The initial price of a token is typically determined during the ICO based on:

1️⃣ Tokenomics: The supply of tokens and how they’ll be distributed.

2️⃣ Market Perception: How much demand the project can generate through marketing and hype.

3️⃣ Utility: The real-world use cases for the token.

Many tokens are mispriced because the market overestimates or underestimates the project’s potential, leading to volatility.

Stay with me throughout the week as we explore who can launch an ICO, examples of successful (and failed) ICOs, and a step-by-step guide to how the process works.
