This is a broad and interesting topic in which people's choices are divided.

But what really is the correct choice?

For me , the answer is YES . There are a lot of tokens out there that dumps hard after the first exchange because most people are scared that the price would go down after. A lot of tokens also disappear ICO which results from whale investors to quickly dump it after ICO and observe the trend of the token and the activities of its developers. If you are a plankton like me, the best thing you should do in my opinion is to dump after ICO and buy at the dip and sell later at a higher price, most tokens have this kind of trend after ICO.

Let us also hear about your thoughts. To dump or not to dump after ICO ends?

It really depends on the ICO that you have taken part into. There was a time when ICO's used to give 4x or even 40x(look at eth, zil, neo, icx) in a very few cases. But things have changed now. Even ICO's which have great partnerships(like unibright which is partnered with microsoft) have dumped after going to exchanges.

maybe you are right and we can make a profit from the way you say. but sometimes the market moves upside down and when we buy at low or cheap prices, after that the token does not move up and keep falling, we are stuck and what should we do?

@coingrow

Agreed. Times like today, in which many people like to scam us. People tend not go to new ICOs because of the times now that many ICOs are a fraud. It is so hard for tokens now to go to heights like x4, x10, x40 quickly. In the near past, people are finding ICOs instead of old tokens because of the high rates of return, but unfortunately, people now tend to choose the old tokens rather than the new ones. Companies that scammed us around this time of year ruined the reputation of ICOs which hinders whales and the sort to invest in new tokens.

@limtjoeha

yes and that is why you need to learn trading. a good trader should always have a stop-loss order in-order not to get burned

This depends on what your financial goals are and what the value of your portfolio is.

For those who have a portfolio with low value and not that much assets (like in the thousands of dollars spread out over a couple coins) I would definitely recommend doing a quick dump.
If you haven't managed to build your portfolio up to be worth more than at least 2 btc, than your #1 priority should not be profits, but to build up the value of your portfolio and increase the amount of trading power you have.
Quick flips with icos are a great way to do this. as you can reinvest that right back in to another one.

If you have substantial amounts of assets, than the long term game would be much more beneficial.
Of course, you would have to do your due dilligence to find a worth company.
But the idea is to get maximum long term value, so you would jump in during presale periods (where there are huge bonuses but also high requirements in how much to invest), sell of enough to make your money back, then buy back in and hold long term.

Sometime I don't think they sold because they scare of price dumping :). You should know that investor will only sell all token they got from ICO project cause they know about the project and they can predict the highest price these tokens can reach to so they just sell it and wait to buy them back at lower price but it's only happen when it's a good project, if it's not they'll sell and never buying back :)

If you have profit you can dump it. But if not so you should hold. Invest isn't buy high sell low, recently many ICO get below ICO price. If it have potential, invest when below ICO price is wisely.

I think it depends on the project, some ICO have increase in prize after listing to a good exchange.
But majority of the ico now is dump and the prize is even lower than the ico prize after listing I think the reason is the
bounty hunters so many of them is dumpers, But bounty allocation is just a small portion of the total supply.
After the dump I think it will recover if the project is legit.

The cause of the dump price is too much airdrop or bounty given to the buyer during the sale of the token. if there is a bounty gift regulation in lock for 30 days it is likely the price will be good and dev party should actively seek new market.

Literally, i believe its best to hodl for a little while depending on the project movement and roadmap.
After ico some project dumps immediately and never rise back up, meanwhile; some projects need to be held for few weeks/ months before final mooning takes place.

So in a summary sense, its best to HODL, and it is also best to DUMP.
Individually, it depends on the intelligence of the individual to determine the best moment to sell or hodl.

The sole reason for investing in an ico is because you think it will go sky high. If you sell it for a small profit you are wasting your time. You could rather work an extra hour a week at your regular job instead of spent that time on ico's if you would do it like this.

I agree, it's a common thing when a coin finishes ICO, and goes in for an exchange
investors are late buying tokens at ICO and have large capital. surely they will do dump

To dump or not to dump after ICO ends?
The answer to the question will be determined by the type of ICO it is,  some of the ICO recently don't really worth the stress because it dumps moment after ICO selling far below ICO price and some never recover but some ICO are fully developed and it'll be a big loss to dump such coins because after little time it soar high in price

My point of view is to continue to hold a period of time after the end of ICO, and some good projects can get a huge increase after a short time into the exchange.

I think this depends on the ICO project. I personally do not hurry with the decisions about it. There are projects that even after the dumps after the first exchange raise their price.  ???

I think everything depends on people and opportunities. Personally, if I see that the profit is good then I sell and I do not regret it. Since there are a lot of coins and much to invest in

An ICO project need time to grow, I will usually hold the coin instead of dumping after ICO. I don’t think the project has already reach its max potential straight after ICO.

If you want to dump, why the hell you participate at all? Why spedning yout time and taking others places to dump project? I dont understand people like you. I particiapate only in ICO on want to hodl ,at least 50% of tokens. I have rigth now for holdling NKN,Iotex,Fusion,Yggdrash,Egretia, will buy some Usechain , and i didnt dumped them ,sold some at good rates for taking my investments back and holding

I concur with you on that matter. That should be the best thing to do but if you do believe in the technology of the coin then hold it for a few months or even years and the profit will be overwhelming given that the coin is promising and that it can fully deliver its purpose why it is made in the first place. There's nothing wrong in playing safe by selling it after an ICO but this will hurt the coin that you invested in and the possibility of getting more profit in the future will be at stake as well.

If I really got my coins from ICOs then I would dump them all since prices dump slowly after the launch of that particular coin.

Welp some of you guys here misunderstood my answer as well. I said that dumping at the start to rebuy at a better position ;). I agree with you that completely dumping and leave the token after ICO is a complete waste of time.

2 reasons why you should dump at the start
1. The company may disappear after a few days.
2. The price would be bearish.

It is profitable to dump and observe then rebuy at a better position.

Now this trend also ends because most of the coins couldn’t able to list in good exchanges . They are struggling to list even in small exchanges . Market is flooded with coins . Even etherdelta gone horrible . The true fact is done the coins after ico it’s hatd to sell because lack of exchange.

I agree with you in part, but I think that if the project is really good then the exchange problem does not arise.

If you afraid then it is the right choice to dump the token after the ICO ends ensure that you gain a profit but you should also choose the right tokens/coins to dump to avoid a huge loss.

Some are deserved to be thrown and some are worth defending. we can see from developers. his policy and good communication with his members is the owner of a token that deserves to be retained.

Often there is a drawdown after the ICO. Therefore, it is often more profitable to buy tokens from the exchange after the ICO. Purchasing an ICO, and then selling and rebuilding - is also a good strategy

Quite a controversial issue. After all, the token can appear on the exchange and go straight up. In your example, you simply will not be able to buy token with in a similar situation. Personally, I hold them.

Depends on the ico, if it's a good ico then hold it

Personally, i agree with you. I also doing a dump when the ICO ends. Because most of ICO that i join are below from initial listing price. And i don't want to make the same mistake again. And to avoid that, there no other way except to dump that ICO. But if the ICO looks promising, i'll try to hold as i can. But that is very rarely.

If it is a good ICO, why dump? Most probably the price will rise at least in bull market. But if these are shitcoins were talking about, then you might as well dump, because those will be probably worthless within a few days after hitting an exchange. Their price will drop and probably never ever rise again.

Honestly things have really changed now, before there were ICO that you can hold with a promising future. Nowadays most of the ICO are not advisable to be held because once they get to the market, their price start falling.  However, if you're lucky to get out of the few good coins, why not hold them?

Generally speaking, there is a good price on the exchange of modern COINS.
So I'm going to sell the token immediately, so I'm going to keep it at a favorable price.

Some experienced that kind of situations wherein most of the coins were actually dumping, as in seriously dumping after the ICO launch. But then again, they were still coins that are continue flying even after the ICO. So, if I may just advice, you should sell half of it after the ICO and hodl another half to just not regret whether it may dump or pump.

hold back and not hold it.
hold it if we have a coin that is still below the price of ICO, and let go if it has exceeded the price of ICO,
and all return to our respective questions whether we survive if the price falls or we will hold it even
though its price has exceeded the price of ICO.

what you do after the ICO is entirely on you, most people chose to sell but come to think of it, you might just be missing out on a product that might have been a success in the future, i suggest you hold on to these coins and see how much value they can attract

The starting cycle for altcoin is too predictable, almost every coin faces sharp drop after listing. But there are few that gone 10X, 20X etc after the dump period. It still depends on the fundamental aspect, sad too say, 90% of there are just pure shitcoins.

I think immediately dumps the coin may not be a wise action. It is true that most ICO now might tends to drop in prices after release, but maybe we need to check on their trends and the market responses first. When an ICO  had a good product, the prices will be bounce back eventually, who knows we might have a bright future with their coins in our wallet

my opinion.
mostly yes.
more more ICO , after end ,then got the token , then got listed market.
and dump get ready to start.
but that's mostly because the base price at ico time is very fluctuating.
for example.
some investor buy some eth on rate 400usd then invest to some ico.
after ico ended,and he calculating he already got profit on usd based,
then he sell it,
but in eth based he not get ROI
because eth is already stronger to USD.
and the investement price weakened against eth after on market.
and many many reason more.
the point it's
hit-wait-sell-run-find another-back to hit. ;D
just my opinion ;D

Yes dumping the coins after the ICO is good to make profits from your investment but it is really not good for that project because when the price falls too much then that project might fails too.And some tokens will go to moon in few months after the ICO so it all depends and the quality of the project and little bit of luck too.

This is a hard question to be answered. It really depends on a coin's quality. For example, Quarkchain has been such a good coin so even now it should be in deep hodl.

To dump or not to dump? And your answer is yes.  ??? Anyways if you're going to ask me about my strategy we do have the same strategy but I based it on the project itself if i'm going to dump it or hold it, in my experience as an investor there are times that the ICO or tokens price is increasing.

I think the reason why most of the tokens are being dump after ICO is because of the bounty participants who sell their token at the time when they received it because they're afraid that their reward will dump if they hold it.

Not all the time. How many ICO did you invested? How many ICO you followed? Because I also know many ICO that actually went shooting up when it entered in exchanges. Many of them are even still more expensive than their ICO prices despite the current market trend.

It depends on many factors. If the price already dumped, it's hard for me to sell it. I usually wait for the next wave.
Patience is key, except you not really trust the future of the project.

Not really depends on the potential of the Coin/Token, as if it has real potential to get increased in future I would hold it or half of it for insurance.

it depends on you. before investing you already know if the coins have potential or now. there are coins price that go below ICO price amd there are coins that are above ICO price after it finish. if you know what is good for you go for it.

Depends, if your intention from the beginning just to get an instant profit why not.. You can dump ur coin after ICO end, but the reality now is very different, I am sure you will not sell your tokens because when entering the market, most coin prices will go down.

Not all ICO but mostly many ICO have the same issue like that. Many people are afraid that the price will falling so they sell their coin after ICO end and of course it will make the price falling drastically and finally became garbage token/coin.

For each coin you need a separate solution, you need to act on the circumstances. If the project has potential, and you can sell it more expensive than you bought on the ICO, and then buy again cheaper, then this is a very good option for you.

It depends on the coin, if the coins gets listed on exchanges and the prices drop down then you should not be dumping coins, you would have to hold for the prices to go up before you can sell the coins that you got for a profit. Although if the prices are up when they hit the exchanges then you should dump the coins because the prices will definitely drop

Recently, I see that more and more people who have invested in ICO projects are concerned about this issue and this is not just so. Now a lot of projects after entering the stock exchange fall in price, several times. But if the project really was good it doesn't happen. In any case, I think that it is worth storing tokens for a long time so that they really acquire a good value.

I think everything depends on the price, if the price of the coin is high enough and I like it, then I can sell this coin. But if the price after the end of the ICO is low, then I will keep that coin until it grows in price.

The cause of the dump price is too much airdrop or bounty given to the buyer during the sale of the token. if there is a bounty gift regulation in lock for 30 days it is likely the price will be good and dev party should actively seek new market.

it in of course depends on the ICO does have a good cooperation and team as well as strong or not. If it has a good structure so as to be able to be great and it's a shame when disposed of. Indeed it is sometimes worth will go down after the ICO is completed. but the wait can usually produce more.

Actually it is really hard to know what would be the best choice in here, specially if you know that the ICO will have a potential in the near future. But for me, what I did, I'll hold for it not too long and see if the price would be worthy or not. Patience is really a virtue when it comes to hodlng.

You should dump if you do not believe that the project will last a long time because if a project ends up failing and you still have the coins, then you are just holding a bunch of useless coins in your hands. But if you believe that the project will do well in the long run then you should hold the coins for the meantime

Yes, I know it, but sometimes its very difficult to predict the future of new tokens.
Most of the new token only survive for 6-8 months (Based on my experience). So, if you are not and big investors, play smartly with your ICO rewards.

Its a common strategy adapted by many traders and investors all over the crypto space., for me YES, if i am an investor., my purpose of investing is to earn profits not earning losses.,but if the project is like CREDITS token, then i would HOLD for some time, nevermind about the market prices, because i believe in the certain project.

Its hard to accept that fact, but reality shows the market status. I mean, lets be realistic, people nowadays are thinking about money and the businesses or coins they hold. Cryptocurrency is a volatile investment., whatever we think on it. It is what it is.

Have a great day..

It does not happen to every ICO, yes some ICO tokens are worthless they should be dumped but some ICO tokens are even great, look at Docademic (MTC) token, the price surged up to approx. 0.4$ in less than 2 months after their ICO concluded but the current price is ~0.25$, whereas the pre-ICO price was 0.04$. You may analyze the chart on coinmarketcap.
So as a conclusion it depends on ICO tokens you are holding if you think that team will work on the project not just claiming to enhance like a dumb so you should hold them else dump the tokens to avoid losses but it needs thorough research to take a decision.

This is why almost every successful out there pays its participants in the form of BTC in order to avoid that dump. Every campaign that we see in Bitcoin - Services section tends to follow that approach and that is why their success rate is comparatively more than the campaign which pay us in tokens.
A lot also boils down on the team. If they have put no cap on the number of participants, then obviously the token distribution will result in huge dump since most of the people prefer to dump their coins than to hold it.

If you're dumping at a price which leaves you in profit still then that's great, although you normally tend to see the price of ICO coins fall below their ICO price not long after completion and first listing so Id say it's probably best to hold them until there's announcements and progression as the price will be higher, then you can dump. Dumping right after the ICO has ended more often than not will not see you make much profit, in my opinion.

It depends, but if I participate in a good ICO then I'll hold it until it gets listed on a bigger exchange. Like Cindicator, request network tokens, ripio etc.

as that is what to do, but in fact it is not as easy as you say, there are processes and phases of the phase that must be passed. moreover the problem of experience and knowledge. so, always try to find new information especially on altcoin information you have.

The actual trend of ICO.
Every bonus investors will gladly sell their token after getting listed on an exchange after ICO at ICO price. Bounty holders would go even below that. So the first month mostly would have a decrease in price. And after that would have a gradual increase depending how the company performs. So, it depends on how and when did you got the token.

I am trying to be fast enough and sell my bounty tokens right away for a good price, not waiting for them to be dumped hard

Why would you do that? This is more than dumb after all.
It would be like investing, and then selling for a 10% profit? Came on, this is ridiculous

Well it depends always in the ICO that you joined. If the ICO gets the hard cap, I think you hold your token in the ICO that you joined because it has potential to pump more in the future. I think always check to the ICO that you joined, read about the articles. In this way, you will have more knowledged in the ICO.

Let's take a look on the QKC whish has alreayd traded more than 10x form the ico price right and it's more tha enough to sell all of our token. It's almost 1k% profit. The result of this question will depend on the result of token price after it has already listed on the exchange site.

In my opinion, it really depends on a coin's quality. I think the reason why most of the tokens are being dump after ICO is because of the bounty participants who sell their token at the time when they received it because they're afraid that their reward will dump if they hold it.

It depends on the projects on how you will see the potential of it. Dumping of the tokens after ICO also put a greater benefits to whales to buy low and sell high and huge profits. Dumping is a bad mindset and it will also give a bad industry to crypto and this not suppose to be happen that way.

priced for sale ICO

Hold them is the best option and could gives you a great return. Because selling after ICO ends means the price will dropped so badly and I guess you won't get any profit at all.

I think it's worth keeping the tokens in the long run. It is not a good strategy to sell your tokens immediately obtained for a bounty or purchased during the ICO.

At first i didn't like the idea of dumping after ICO. But it seems almost all the ICOs i have invested recently dropped when they got listed. Am wondering if this is the new trend in crypto business

My decision is based actually on the project.If I know that the project is very positive and the developer and people behind the project is working really hard to make the project successful plus a successful ICO. I don't dump my tokens and  I will for a little more time to see the progress but if I know from the very start that the project is weak I will.probably sell my tokens right away.

I personally believe in long term holding, usually the price of ICO token right after their listing in an exchange is dumping mostly because of the bounty hunters sold their token but if the project is really good I'd better on holding for more months or even years.

This is because of profit taking with the bounty hunters, or yeah maybe this is the original plan of the team.

Well it depends to the project I invested.If it has great and promising project ahead then I’m holding it.Actually Im into total supply type of picker also.If the project Im investing has billion supply, I usually do the dumping if I gain at least 3x to 5x profit already but If It has a million supply only then I left a portion of it for long term but usually depending on the project.

The bounties holders are the one dumping they holding after ico the investors holding they tokens or coins and always sell them when there are fully developed and are listed on big exchange like poloniex, c-cex and binance.  The bounty hunters always sell they holding at a decentralized exchange after ico.

With most tokens, I think it's better to sell them right away. Risks are too high unless you personally know the team or you're assured it can rise in price.

If what you have said is all correct, then your strategy should be dumping as soon as possible, then buy it back at a lower price.
Of course the prerequisite is it is a legit project.

Dump or not dump? Maybe, this depends on the potential of the token. We can read some informations about the token whether it will be better to hold or better to sell it after their ICO ends. There are lots of determinants or let say basis of the token's future. You can study and do research about their background. But actually, the decision is yours. If you want to sell then sell it. Whatever happens just be thankful of having it especially those who got their token from airdrops.

I can't give definite answer.
For example, the credits project (recent) has made x2 after listing to IDEX.
Everything depends on the project, and his success.
At present, I sell 70% of all tokens. Ofc if it brings me profit. But there are projects in which I trust. And I am hold their tokens.

Usually I hold just and dont sell, because I understand that principe of after-ICO dumping, and I am not affraid of it

i personally want to not dump because i don't want my tokens will be worthless but it's very difficult to do so because most people will only thinking how to return their initial investment after ICO ended and that's why some of tokens can't recover the price after dump because people selling those tokens immediately and leave the tokens

Based on the market situation today, mostly high percentage of people are dumping immediately after ICO ends, because of the market situations that even only in a few days the price market will drop immediately, so in order to have a sure profit, dumping immediately is a best choice today. And based also on my experienced of holding a coins because of too much expectations that it will rise soon and earn multiple profits, but sad to say that until now the price is going down to the bottom line, and I will show a one example of my token or coin that I've been invested before the kyc token, and the price value now is worth only .00001 dollar, and I was invested before at price of .00005 dollar. But I'm still hoping that time will come the prices on my four types of coins will grow into a beautiful price especially kcy. And I'm telling to everybody that I'm fan of holding now a four types of crypto coin, first bitcoin, second ethereum, and the third one is ripple and the last one is kcy. Hopefully the market price of all crypto coin will rapidly rise soon up to the higher level in order to have more returns of income.

I will sell the tokens after the ICO is completed and while still benefiting from its ICO price. Because now the price will very easily fall after the token listed in the market after the ICO. So do not risk taking hold of profits when the profit is in front of us. And do the buyback after the price drops.

Depends on the situation if the tokens or coins i got from the icos if a have value in the coinmarketcap and when i need  to it for the personal needs i sell it, but most pf coins i hold it because i really belive the cheaper coins or token are become expensive.

 I agree some project are scamms but take note not all project and if the dev's have an reputable name in the world of cryptos investemnt i think he/she need to take care of their reputation.

Pump and dump is very rampant these days especially on bounty tokens. They just want easy profits and dump the tokens immediately. But if you really believe on the project, holding the tokens is a good choice. It really depends on you.

For me, yes, if you aim to have a good profit when you participate in the ico, I suggest you dump your coin after it hit on the exchange. The current peak price of the ico comes from its first launch at the exchange, and it is slowly going down of its price. So if you want to make a good return of your investment, I suggest to flip it immediately.

Yeah, this is unfortunately the trend that each ICO projects goes through. If I would invest in an ICO, I would probably sell some and recover the cost of my investment the soonest time possible.

I think it depends on the ICO project. Now most ICO may reduce the price after the release, but maybe we need to check their trend and market reaction first. I usually hold COINS instead of dumping them after ICO.

Pump and dump can happen anytime and it is not necessary that a pump may occur immediately after the ICO ends. So even if you hold on to the tokens for 2-3 months after the ICO ends, there is a chance that you will get good returns from it. But the most important thing is that you need to frequently track the token exchange rate.

Dump at the right price. I usually wait 1-2 weeks after that coin listed on exchanges. I should get my payment, no merchant accept cryptocurrency in my city so I should sell my token and coin. I only hold some good coin which has good future.

In my mind, it depends on us. if I participate in a good ICO then I will hold it until it is listed on a bigger exchange.
if other investors will probably hold it too. gradual improvement depending on how the company performs.
So, it depends on how and when you get a token.

For me personally, that depends on the market, if the price is low, then I choose to hold the coins i have.
If the price is good after the ICO ended, I prefer to sell some of the coins depends on what I need, and keep the rest of the coins until further price level.

I prefer to hold that token, because several times my experience prices suddenly rose, and I'm very sorry to sell in a hurry

depending on the roadmap it'd very for me i cant really say unless i give specifics on ico, but for the most part if the token/coin is in exchanges by the time they distribute them. we got fire. lol jk i will hold for a bit it seems to work the best for me atm.

If I participate in a really very promising ICO, then I certainly should not dump, because it is not profitable in the long run

It is not the best thing to dump after ICO, the best thing is hodl your coins, you can only buy more coin in the dump to enlarge your portfolio

If you manage to get huge bonuses at pre-ICO, then better dump some part. Usually at the first days of exchange price's going high, then slowly declines. But I'd stick with projects like Atonomi, where everyone only managed to spent max 1 ETH. There would be a huge demand driving price even higher.

 Because I also know many ICO that actually went shooting up when it entered in exchanges. Many of them are even still more expensive than their ICO prices despite the current market trend.

Sometime I don't think they sold because they scare of price dumping. You should know that investor will only sell all token they got from ICO project cause they know about the project and they can predict the highest price

It's still depend on your ico and your profit if they gave you fair enough share of token and if you see that it can be done without dumping so be it but if it needed to be and if you're really aiming for good catch them you should dump it.

I am going to hold because it will give you great results. After the ICO price does indeed go down much of the price of ICO and it often happens. But if cared for several months after it all will be an increase in the price can go up is even above ICO. so don't be too scared and rush if the results are unfavorable, patient and wait is the best decision.

for myself I will hold it first after ico last because it is definitely after the tokens in for all will throw it at any price.

If the ICO project has potential in the market and can produce results then HODLing the tokens is a good option as the project progresses as its price will also increase regardless if the is a dump to it. However if the ICO that you participated has the potential to only has a pump and dump tehn selling all the coins that you have is the best course to take. You can also buy the tokens again if you see a moon in the market after its dump.

I am also think like you. But we can test our luck sometimes. Few ICO have grate prospect and future if we can understand and analyse. So It may good not dump sometime.

If you are only investing for the short term big profits then you re doing the wrong thing cause more to the ICOs are made to scam you if you invest in a pico for the concept Antech technology then you might want to hold on for greater profits

My personal view is that if you should be fast and quick decision taker, because very soon after a coin listed in an exchange we see some selling because people want to get their investment back with some profit.

discard and not necessarily too see the circumstances that exist. If it can give great results so of course as long as the results are great. But if it's not too well don't lose too fast and hold on until the first point of the maximum that can be achieved. not all the result of ICO gives good developments therefore just wait and analyze the situation.

My advice, invest your money to buy a few coins. You can choose several altcoins like Neo, Dash, Stealler or EOS. I'm sure these 4 coins are worth buying. Wait 1-2 years later, Bitcoin will rise in price and altcoin prices will also follow.

I think many ICOs are really shooting when entering in exchange. Many of them are even more expensive than ICO prices. It depends on you. before investing you already know whether the coin has potential.

it relies upon you. before contributing you definitely know whether the coins have potential or now. there are coins value that go underneath ICO value amd there are coins that are above ICO cost after it wrap up. on the off chance that you recognize what is beneficial for you put it all on the line.

For me, it depends if you believe in the project and the price is way below the ICO , instead of dumping, why not accumulate more and sell it when you reach 10x from the ICO or 5x the ICO price. But if the listing/selling price is above the ICO price then it is its really up to holder it he wants to sell or not.

I think it is pretty bad move to dump the coin, that you have. It is not a good idea for the investors to lose their money after listing on the first exchange. The bounty hunters are dumping because they did not invested their funds. So I think it is a bad idea.

That differs in every project i think, i had one project, token value down to nearly 0 after ico and exchange listing but on the other hand, i have on that started with 100 usd and now is around 700 usd.

That has become the scenario now to many ICO and the price goes down when it hit the market, maybe because the market is in bear period, and this is one of the reasons why we have so many failed ICO investors prefer to buy in their ICO stage and even ignoring the big bonus from the pre-sale.

No definite answer. if you bought tokens on ICO, then you need to look at what price the tokens will be when they appear on the exchange. If the price is higher than the price you bought, sell most of the coins.

If I am an investor then no should be the answer, because I think I will use the product and then I will accumulating the token not sell it, but if you are a bounty hunter yes is a correct answer, sometimes if you hold long enough then probably you miss the best time to sell the token

That depends on the condition, if i saw the price is good enough to sell them, then I'll sell it, if it's not then i'll just keep them and wait until the price is match with what i wanted. That way i could get double reward :D

I personally never participate in the ICO that I don't like. That's why I never sell my tokens by price below ICO. It can happen in the one case - I want to buy more on the dump. And nothing other options. And I can say that I never support dumping people

I prefer to keep it and wait until it rise, cause usually the price of a coin will be dropping when it fist time getting listed in a market.
Waiting for a few month until the price rise again isn't a pain.

I try not to sell tokens or coins looking in my opinion ICO but try their HOLD.

I think depending on market demand, if the price is good I will sell it and if the price on the exchange is far from the price of ico, I will hold it for a while and wait for the latest news from the project team.
