Title: A bad timing to invest in an ICO? What are your insights?
Post by: davenjulio on March 17, 2018, 06:56:04 AM
I noticed that most of the coins/tokens that was launch now are almost behind their ICO value by almost 25-50%, Basically if you purchased in the ICO someone could even double their holdings with the same amount that you used during your ICO purchased. So for me it will be wise to purchase in the exchanger but the risk is few of them wants to delayed their market launch due to market situation.
I also noticed that if the bounties are released in the same date with the investors the possible scenario is the coin/token will going to dump once it hits the exchanger, so better sell and rebuy once it dips because no matter what they say the bounties are free money and someone which is not a hodler will going to sell her/his holding once the coin/token hits the market ( always check the realease date of the bounties). I'm not an expert but tried to share my insights according to my experience, I'm an small ICO investors and the same time bounty hunter. Thanks and Godbless!!!

That's why I somehow have double thoughts (and for sure many are) about the idea in joining an ICO. Instead of participating even in the presale stage, where the most bonuses are offered, it is now a wise choice to just wait for it to hit the exchanges and let the dumpers do their job. But of course, if this is how we all think, I'm afraid there will be no more successful ICOs in the future, lol.

ICO only allows us to participate in a project at a lower cost. Of course, the risk is higher because you do not know whether the project will be successful or whether it is a scam.

Hmm, that's a valuable advices but  wheb it comes about the ICO investing I am too lazy to track such price movements (maybe that's because I don't invest much in a single coin and won't get a good benefit from small movements). I prefer to buy some coins (not always during the ICO) and then wait untill they make at least x2-3. I'm sure that most of the minor ICO investors are doing like I do but your notifications are also interesting.

I think its just happening these days all thanks to the Great depression going on in the market. There is no guarantee as to it. I have seen a lot of tokens that have skyrocketed just after the ICO. Its doesn't matters that if their price came down back again after that skyrocketing because that's what all market is. I still feel investing in ICO is profitable if you find a good ICO like VLB token or so. VLB is a great ICO and I guarantee its price will skyrocket once it gets listed.

YES your right. Me one month ago i'am a pure ICO investor especially when i really like the project not even joining bounties, but i started to noticed the trend that most of the bounties are being dump once released that's why i tried to do the bounty hunting to atleast increase my holdings. I think ICO which are doing bounties should stick to their one month rule before releasing the bounties to let the coin/token to breath some space against dumping, it will also give ICO investors healthy feeling.

There is no doubt that participating in ICO is not a smart choice at the moment.
I think the best way is to buy these tokens directly on the exchange.

Currently the whole market is witnessing a slump. This due to factors as the congressional hearing, Google and the SEC crackdown.

I think it will all normalize in a few months when things settle down a bit. When people realize that US legislation is not the end of the world. Investments are so fluid now, and will just move elsewhere.

I wanted to invest a little in THE ABYSS, but as many of you had certainly hear, the sale is postponed to April 16.... they had problem with KYC,
But I wanted to have your opinion about this ICO, because it seems to be interesting and can be also a serious competitor to Steam..

nope, try BPS an ICO from bitpaction.com (http://bitpaction.com). You can visit the site for more details and whitepaper.

It's necessary to search for high-ranking ICO projects in which the price of tokens at the end of the ICO is usually 2-3 times higher.
For example, the ABT tokens of the ArcBlock project cost $ 0.50 during the ICO, immediately after they entered the crypto exchange
their price was $ 1.25. In connection with the general fall of the crypto market, their price is $ 0.72 now.

Ok, but how to know before what’s going to be their price on exchange when you are just going to buy in their ICO ? No one can predict... no ?

There is a bad and good timing in investing in ICO. As long as we are carefully selecting the best ICO there is always a chance for everyone to earn and then we can achieve the success that we all have been waiting for.

to be honest I like ico that does not offer bonuses, because the bonus will only be dumped by the investor to return part of his capital. there are also some investors who buy when bounty hunter dumped the reward of the campaign and I see sometimes its price is very low below the ico price.

Certainly a very good advice, I will take a look of this kind of ICO now

The best method with ICO's for me is as follows: find interesting ICO/s, wait until the sale is finished and token is listed on small exchange with poor liquidity, place your orders lower than ICO price because bounty hunters and pre-sale buyers are selling. Get it really cheap. Wait until token is listed on bigger exchange/exchanges. It will grow in value significantly. The last step is sell and get profit. Worked for me very well.

Post by: ilnick on March 17, 2018, 10:40:47 AM
It's amazing that you did not know about such investment tactics. The research was not make by me, but, as I see, more than 90% of all tokens when listed on exchange the currency fall in price. I never bought ICO. I'm waiting for a listing on the exchange, set orders for buy 30-50% below the price ICO and always buy. This was as rule in 2017 too.

Well if you'll think about it, now's actually a good time for fiat investors because the BTC and ETH are almost on few months-low level.

On the other hand, it's all about thinking forward I guess. Successful ICOs have their tokens increase in value after some time. Just take a look at ETH.


Title: Re: A bad timing to invest in an ICO? What are your insights?
Post by: Ctn on March 17, 2018, 10:45:38 AM
Exactly, it is what happening now a days. As the values are dropping for the ICO the values are dropping in the exchangers too. This is what happened with one of the project that I invested into and thats SCL. The value of this token at the time of ICO was more than 55 cents and now look at the exchanger value of the same, it is around 20 cents. I mean come on for me I will need to take more efforts than normal investors to get my ROI back and earn profits on top of that. Do you think that is fair thing to know?  I think most of the people will hate this and they will hate the projects also as they loose their investment.

Yeah I agree with you that this is very bad timing to invest in ICO, its better get those coins which you always wished to and they are now on the exchanger. Thats better than enough.

When determining the time to invest in a ico. Developer for swap, swap and generate good profit. Studying time to sell or buy is a job in the ability of investors. Nothing will be difficult for them.

ICOs are good investments. You just really need to look for a good one. There are several ICOs to choose from and it is difficult to pinpoint which among those are authentic and which will succeed in the future. This is where the importance of research enters. Make sure you do a keen research about the ICO to lessen the risk. It is not actually the "timing" that is wrong with investing in ICOs, it is actually the "ICO" itself you wish to invest.


Title: Re: A bad timing to invest in an ICO? What are your insights?

ICO only allows us to participate in a project at a lower cost. Of course, the risk is higher because you do not know whether the project will be successful or whether it is a scam.
Well the risk is truly bigger, but the op is about such investments also not being 'at lower cost', since after appearing on the exchanges the coins' prices are likely to go below those stated during the ico stage. That's why I would also say that now is really bad timing for icos. Buying good coins right now might be a great idea for one who still believes in market recovery, but even that is not as safe to suppose as it used to be. The situation is new to the market, we've never seen such long drops without significant recovery attempts. I guess now is just the time for holding and trying not to look at the prices.

Maybe the one-month rule will help at some point but I think it's better if we follow the idea suggested from another thread saying it would be better if bounty payments will be made with Eth instead of the token being offered in ICO itself. That way, bounty hunters can't dump anymore.

Friend, ICO is a long term investment, the coin price won't go up after ICO.
The bounty hunters may causing the price to go down, but not for long term.
Let the ICO team use their collected funds for developing their products.
If after ICO the team developed some products in the future, i am sure the coin price will be increased at that time,
because many peoples want to use their products.
So my advice is, ICO is a long term investment, don't expect the price will go up after ICO and hit the exchange.

Here the situation has a double meaning. Prices for bitcoin today are very small and accordingly participation in such ICOs will only increase the amount spent by BTC, but on the other hand your bitcoin in the future will cost much more and accordingly the project in which you invested.

In the bear market 99% of the ICOs will be like this and in the bull market most of the ICOs get listed at multiple times more than it's initial price. Bonus in pre ICO also plays an important role here. Anything more than 30% bonus encourages to dump on the exchange when it gets listed. Most of the ICOs are trading 40% below ICO price.

Simply because it is a beat market right now that is why most of the coins are dumping,not a very good time of getting involved with these ICOs because it is too risk,the bear market might be longer than we expected that is why we need to stick with bitcoin,because im sure if the market has recovered all of the altcoins will surely grow again.

Of course it isnt a good time to invest with these ICOs because the bear market has come and it might be the reason why these token's prices will dump too,that is why we should stick with bitcoin's or other solid altcoin you prefered,so that our investments wont be put at risk as the market is slowly crashing down losing some value from time to time,because these coins wont fail our expectations they are always ahead from the shitcoins in terms of recovery.

Most of the ICO investors and hunters are surely wont invest to these projects until the market has stabilized or the market had gone bull run because in bear market like this you wont get a lot of profits especially with these projects which will require you to invest with big amounts to get their tokens in exchange,not a good idea because these tokens will lose their value in the bear markets.

Of course no one will ever try to nvest with these ICOs especially when the market has bearish trend,because the value of these tokens will surely decrease to ,but in the other hand if the market is so bullish you will find out that most of the investors are willing to risk their money to these projects,stick with the movements of these whales so that you will have a good idea why they are doing it.

Don't know about current timing but one should try to avoid buying ICOs during their token sale. One should get it once it is launched in the market after the dev team has a working product to show. That way you will prevent yourself from losing your hard earned money.

Right now, things are not going so well in the world of ICO and that if you are investing more money into it, then you really need to be very much careful as there are likely chances of losing your money but still doing the things in the right manner by giving enough of the time before making any kind of decision can help you in having some better results but still you need to invest in only trustworthy ICO’s.

If you invest selectively in only the best projects you can still make money with ICO's. A lot of the price decline is because Cryptocurrencies in general have been falling.

I think you are wrong.
In any investment in ico, always have more than on purchase when buying in exchange. and certainly for the number of campaign participants. the result will not be the same.
investors are more special in terms of bonuses and such. yes but i admit investing in ico is more risky than buying after entering the market. but they always need knowledge. that is why we have to learn at all times to build broad insights

So for me it will be wise to purchase in the exchanger but the risk is few of them wants to delayed their market launch due to market situation.
I also noticed that if the bounties are released in the same date with the investors the possible scenario is the coin/token will going to dump once it hits the exchanger, so better sell and rebuy once it dips because no matter what they say the bounties are free money and someone which is not a hodler will going to sell her/his holding once the coin/token hits the market ( always check the realease date of the bounties). I'm not an expert but tried to share my insights according to my experience, I'm an small ICO investors and the same time bounty hunter. Thanks and Godbless!!!

Yes the whole market is down so not the best time to invest in ICO. But for quality project and it should not matter since price will rise eventually anyway. But if you just looking for a quick flip then I would not invest right now.

I believe we are in a good or bad situation to invest in any ICO.
The best way to go around it is to carefully select potentially successful ICOs to gain a chance to earn and be successful.
And there are an awful lot of indicators in choosing the best ICO. Check these links:

Yes, this month was terrible for crypto-currencies, and many users did not hurry to make any transactions or invest in ICO projects, but I observe on the icodrops website that not everything is bad, most projects achieve their goals. This means that most investors buy tokens not on the stock exchange but directly at the proposal of the project.

well many bounty hunters sell their coins after they get it and it will affect the price. especially project are not unique/useful or not running yet will have less demand resulting in low price. with many ICOs emerging with the same ideas but different approach price will really dump.

ICO only allows us to participate in a project at a lower cost. Of course, the risk is higher because you do not know whether the project will be successful or whether it is a scam.
Yes your right . We all dont now what will hapoen to the project because this is to hard to choice because many scam are also there.

If you invest in a good idea with capable team, the timing of market price will be irrelevant. Good idea always sell in and out of any season. It doesn't matter what the market sentiments are. Quality ICO with good planing and value will sell.

Its not  the timing would have to determine success in investing ICO's is the working product that the ICO support ed will determine success of the project the typical example is s products that support environment like  renewable energy as a source for mining many would invest because the product is very feasible that would earn profit because solar energy is free. That's why it was a successful project.

Yeah working products would matter  most its not  the timing but there  is also another components that you not neglect, the development team that work behind the project is also important because they are the one who did all the necessary things to make  the project successful if you were an investor you also consider them as a factor to select better  ICO's.

ICOs are very challenging to invest in because its almost impossible to tell which one will succeed and which one will not, i don't think the timing of investment matters a lot, but the choice of an ICO you are investing in is very crucial, if you chose wisely based on the project plan, then there are chances that you will get returns

I think its better to just trade during the introduction of coin in the exchange, the coin suddenly dumps its price lower than the price they offer during the ICO. ive noticed that there will always come a time for a coin when it will lose its value. In just few months after the introduction, the value already dump its price. All coins value is dependent on bitcoins value.

Post by: cryptothief on March 19, 2018, 10:18:17 PM
It is an interesting thought, and one that has had varying consequences for investments I have made. Some problems I envisage (or have experienced) with using this tactic are:

1. If it is an ICO that you are passionate about and really believe in the project, how disappointed would you be if it hit the markets at way above the ICO price. Figures generally don't take into account the bonuses and incentives that were included if investing in the ICO, even most of the review sites put the ICO price at an average price of all ICO rates when calculating the return.

2. Some coins I have been interested in end up on exchanges that I have no intention of using, making accessibility for purchasing more difficult.

3. If you really have confidence in the project, then a drop when it releases on the exchanges should not be too worrying. As someone mentioned above, there will always be investors, and especially those that got coins/tokens for free (with no real interest in the project), that are just looking to offload it as soon as it hits the exchanges.

On the flip side, one thing worth watching on ICOs you are investing in is the ratio of demand and supply. High demand ICOs 'should' continue that demand beyond the token sale phase, and theoretically see a rise in value once they list on exchanges. If a project that you personally see as a game changer is struggling to hit their targets, then it could be worth waiting till it lists, as the market has obviously not recognised it's potential yet (or you are wrong  ;)).

A month ago, you could double/triple your investment right after end of the ICO. Now, with the market crush, this is very risky. But if you are going to hold tokens, why not?! And I'm talking about solid ICOs, of course. Most of the other, which are generally worthless crap, doesn't even deserve attention.

Bear market was never a good timing when it comes to investing because you wont have any assurance and gains with the bear market,the investors are too scared to put their money to these new projects that is why most of the ICOs are postponing or moving their ICO sales to the next month,so prevent the bear market madness.

almost all bounty hunters here know that to obtain bitcoin they must partake in any form of ico project.

In my opinion, this period is better to wait out, and not yet invest in ICO.  Now, many projects can not collect the right amount, because the Eth rate has fallen dramatically.  If the project team tied the value to the dollar, then they collect the necessary amount.  The rest are forced to extend and defer ICO.

That's why I somehow have double thoughts (and for sure many are) about the idea in joining an ICO. Instead of participating even in the presale stage, where the most bonuses are offered, it is now a wise choice to just wait for it to hit the exchanges and let the dumpers do their job. But of course, if this is how we all think, I'm afraid there will be no more successful ICOs in the future, lol.
Prices of tokens usually drop when the ICO’s are over and are listed on the exchanges. People usually dump their tokens in order to secure their profit, which surely causes crash in the price of tokens.

In such situation, if the project you have invested in has good potential and good roadmap, you can wait for it to recover again and rise above the price for which you bought it at initial coin offering in order to check your loss and gain profit.

But I would recommend you to stay awake in the market and dump the tokens as soon as you receive it if you are earning profit by doing so.

Yes, it’s a bad time to invest in ICO’s for sure because many ICO’s nowadays are scams and frauds to rip people off their money. Finding a good and legit ICO project is like finding a needle in a bunch of hay stacks. Also there are news of social platforms such as Google, Facebook and Twitter banning advertisements of crypto’s and new ICO’s projects and tokens. Moreover many countries across the world are now making strict regulations for launching of ICO’s which has made difficult for people to invest.

Of course, this is less risky, but you will not get any more bonuses. I believe that the least risk is to buy tokens after entering the exchange, the price will still be the same as for participants in early sales, and maybe even less

In my own opinion there is no really bad timing in investing ICO because you can do research if that certain ICO has good reputation in the society and how its development keeps in progress. Some investors were mostly knows it and they were always in the right track.

It is always a good time to invest for those who know which ICOs are good and which ones are not. For example Credits is doing great even with this adverse situation.
They have as I know the events in the near future are scheduled, so the price is so stable in relation to the market! Although if there is no positive news, then the coin will drop sharply in price!

It really depends on your risk appetite but with what is happening to the market  I think it is better  to buy ICOs after it was listed on the exchange but we definitely dont know when will the market be up. But as for my experience in ICO investing starting last feb most of the ICOs that I bought are listed lower than their ICO price.

Unfortunately, the period we are in is not a logical period for ICO investment. As the market situation gets worse day by day and many investors are withdrawn from this market, ICO investments do not provide as much profit as it used to, and also cause investors to suffer. It is an inevitable fact that projects that have organized a bounty campaign will seriously lose value. I would like to reiterate that it is not reasonable to invest in these projects during this period because investments are kept for a long time and these investments usually end with a negative return. For that reason, it is not a gimmick to join ICO projects first, but when the transactions begin, it is only possible to buy at a low price.

The timing can indeed be a problem for people who really want some profit from ICOs. The general downtrend we have right now around the crypto market just makes people unsure about their ICO tokens /coins they have got/bought. And 'cause of that they often times sell them when the coins hit exchanges causing sell-offs and massive price drops with it.

I noticed that most of the coins/tokens that was launch now are almost behind their ICO value by almost 25-50%, Basically if you purchased in the ICO someone could even double their holdings with the same amount that you used during your ICO purchased. So for me it will be wise to purchase in the exchanger but the risk is few of them wants to delayed their market launch due to market situation.
I also noticed that if the bounties are released in the same date with the investors the possible scenario is the coin/token will going to dump once it hits the exchanger, so better sell and rebuy once it dips because no matter what they say the bounties are free money and someone which is not a hodler will going to sell her/his holding once the coin/token hits the market ( always check the realease date of the bounties). I'm not an expert but tried to share my insights according to my experience, I'm an small ICO investors and the same time bounty hunter. Thanks and Godbless!!!

You are right the ICO value dips upto 50 to 60% when they pitch into exchanges now. The reason again would be the current market situation. But i suggest you to go for long term investment and that's how I planned to do with this red market. Instead of blaming a successful ICO with best project, lets just change the plan to go for a long term investment. Obviously the best projects are going to yield a huge turn over if you hold the tokens for minimum 6 months to 2 years and this is how investors with large capital do so. when you go for cheapest tokens or coins, plan for a long term investment on it and this will return you a decent profit.

You wrote the author correctly and thanks for the advice. Now it’s really not the best time for investments from start-ups, but it seems to me that everything will change in a short time and it will again be possible to earn very well on this

Yes most of the users as well as investors expect a good amount of profit if they invest in the ico but the problem is the market situation and bounty hunters and airdrop users dumping the tokens once it hit the market.

You are right in your observation, this is the reason that ICO developers locked their rewards for a month or even more for bounty hunters so they will not dump their coin and bring down it's value and there are so many times that ICO price is much lower when it hit the market, but ICO cannot get into the exchange if they cannot reach their capitalization.

It is actually a bad investment  buying through ICO  these days because by the time your token will be sent to you already you will be 30% down because the bounty hunters had already killed off the market  by dumping their token. I think the bounty rewards should be paid with Ether or BTC to protect the token sold through ICO. If this trend continue it will be so difficult  for ICO to be patronized by investors. If they will pay with Ether the ICO investment will be saved.

When investing in ICO we are planning long term. When the coin enter the exchanges it can happen that some hunters dump their tokens, but who cares if we are planning long term. The dump can have only short term effect as the bounty allocations are minor.
Investors can buy more, even cheaper and the price should increase if there is demand for the project  and it`s tokens.

At the moment it is very difficult to define a successful ico. Now there are a lot of fraudulent projects , so you need to very carefully choose the ico to invest . The second problem is a bear market , which does not allow coins to rise in price . I believe that now is not the right time to invest in the ico and have to wait for the bull market.

Actually if you are ready with anything or the ICO is good or not, why not? Indeed, many ICOs are only concerned with their own team, therefore you have to choose what really makes you have profitable in future that ICO.

Price decrease of tokens when it do hits exchange is just like already a traditional stuff or a common thing that do happen to a certain coin which would lead into investors loss of investment if they do tend to sell out on early phase but same as you said if we do see the project can go up for long term then it is on our choice if we do tend to hold it up for longer durations that is why when you do make investment be sure you do have sufficient capital so that you wont rely or don't mind too much on the tokens you had invested recently.

Now most of the projects are very much reduced in price after the end of ICO. Why invest and take risks during ICO, if you can then buy these tokens much cheaper.

It is because of the fact that coins often become cheaper after entering the stock exchange, I do not invest in ICOs now. I prefer to buy coins that are already traded on exchanges. I do not want to risk because of the market, which is constantly falling.

I think that depends on your views for the future...If you think that the market will rise again, then this is the time to invest your fiat money in crypto and then some promising ICOs.  If you are hesitant, you can at least join their bounty and once you feel more certain then you can make your contribution.
Majority of the ICO is risky. We cannot really say whether the project will be successful or nah. Therefore it is not just enough to know what are the plans or framework or such but it is indeed important to monitor how the project is doing. But them we can start at knowing everything about the ICO and their projects.

At the moment, it is not worth investing in ICO. First, good projects are waiting for the beginning of a growing market, and secondly, they want to earn their own money.

November 2018, forecasts for price increases for this period did not come true.  Moreover, the market showed such a fall in prices that many people in cryptocurrency, just started to panic.  It seems that all the predictions are just words and believe in them at your own peril and risk.  This cryptocurrency is interesting because it is unpredictable.

with the fall in the price of bitcoin, the market falls and the value of coins becomes lower, including ICO coins, it does look bad but if you are a visionary investor then you will consider this moment as your advantage because you can invest in many ICOs with smaller capital

It is a tough time for ICOs this year, as the  market conditions are not favoring them. They lost much value from raised funds as
the majority of them collected their funds in ETH. The interest for investing in ICOs has fallen dramatically from September as the investors
are much more cautious . The ROI from investing in ICOs has declined as they are not profitable as they were earlier.

it's never a good time to invest in ICOs.
they are too risky. but bring back big profit.
it's worth to consider but never use too much money to buy ICO.
