The cryptocurrency market is now being flooded by many ICOs aside from mostly, prices were down. So I encourage everyone to do their own research and due diligence and buy the worth investing cryptocurrency. The last ICO rating I made was Traxia (TMT), which I wrote via Medium last March 8, 2018 however Medium no longer support this kind of promotion so I repost it here: https://steemit.com/blockchain/@elegant-joylin/traxia-tmt-my-ico-rating

At the moment, I'm using these 8 criteria in rating a good ICO.

1. Legalities — most ICOs actually have this, " United States, China and Canada are not allowed to join". But for Blockchain.io, they have complied with SEC Filing for US Accredited Investors. You can see it at: sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1742318/000174231818000001/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml. Which is honestly a plus for me.

2. Business / tech uniqueness & competitiveness — There is a few players in the cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance is the most valuable cryptocurrency exchange with $1.62B marketcap (as of this writing). For a business to stand out and to be choosen by investors/traders/customers, they must really have unique edge over the existing competitors. What I like for BCIO, is their move towards compliance, which for me is less risk and more investors protection.

3. Product availability / Timeline / Progress — The earlier it gets, the better. If it's minimal viable product (MVP) is available, a plus. BCIO will first launch it's cryptocurrency exchange on Q4 2018 ( just a few months from now). And continuos launching of other features until Q2 2020. For detailed product launch, it can be seen below.

4. Real life use cases /profitability—Last year, the whole cryptocurrency marketcap have reached to over $800billion. I believe that cryptocurrency will grow to over $5Trillion over the next 5 years because more and more investors are shifting to cryptocurrency. A significantly profitable business, but compliance and investors protection should always be their priority. And I'm glad, BCIO is also ready for cryto-trading regulations, as I said awhile ago.

5. Team/Advisor — Good management team and its advisors means good future for the business. Also means more value in the future, which also boils to more profit for investors like us.

6. Community involvement / transparency — Active community / transparency to community means more trust and support from the community. Of course, it's not above continous uptrend of the BCIO price, it is also normal for correction of the price, but long-term prospects is a stable return for all stakeholders as long as heir is also delivery of the product or expectation / exceed expectation.

7. Partnership — BCIO is backed by experienced, trsuted and profitable business including Paymium, Europe's first Bitcoin Exchange, serving since 2011 and other stable names you can see below.

8. External market/target demand —the cryptocurrency market is big as I said earlier, I'm expecting a big global shift of investors to cryptocurrency especially once regulated. If they get approval of the regulatory requirements, trading in BCIO will be high—high earnings, better BCIO price and good future returns.

Set aside some cash from your fund and add some Blockchain.io (BCIO) to your portfolio.

In summary, BCIO have a 89% rating.
