Hello all,

There's one thing I have ever noticed, after ico the token price dropped drastically could anyone explain why such is happening...
Eg, there are some tokens are I have in my wallet which I want to trade since then till now I have been waiting for the price to come up but instead decreasing. What do I do in this scenario?

it's one of the many losses lately, seeing a market that is getting worse, you should think about and know about the listing date and time of the coins you bought, and sell them on the first list so as not to lose a promising price, because if you wait a while, prices will drop dramatically, or you need to wait for long enough and survive not to sell it so the price does not become a loss

There was a lot of reasons for that
1 the pre-sale investors are thinking they are in the profit and they are dumping it instantly.
2 It caused by the bounty and the market doesn't have a lot of support to keep the price of token
3 The trend of crypto and more reason can explain about that but the number 1 will always become the main reason why the price of icos dropping a lot.
Ubex can become the best example for that

This is something that has always happened, when a coin hits exchanges the first thing that happens is that the price goes down because buyers wait a while before they start buying. It's a dynamic that is almost always repeated. In fact, many of the first sellers, once they have sold their coins and the price has dropped, put buy orders to buy more coins at a much lower price. Normally you have to wait some time until the price goes up. What happens now, besides this, is that we are in a bearish market in which there is a lot of pessimism and nobody wants to buy anything, that's why prices go down and stay low. This is why there are projects that are delaying their arrival at exchanges until the market changes.

Well after an initial coin offering a lot of activities happens which affect the price of the altcoin some of this activities are dumping mostly done by bounty hunters this causes the commodity to drop in price. Well and also after am ico it's best to hold

Many people ask this question, and understand what to do only later. There are many different strategies. According to statistics, most of the coins that come to the wallet most often after a while are worth nothing. You can immediately sell coins, especially if they came a little, if they are present on the exchange and fix the income in the crypto currency with a large capitalization, for example BTC or ETH. You will wait, in the end there can be kopeks, and together with the commissions even it will be unprofitable to deduce. If a lot of coins, it all depends on the project. I act individually, in some cases it is worth waiting for a good price (at least the level of ICO), and then sell.

When an exchange of coins happen for the first time, a lot of activities take place, which in turn affects the price of that particular Altcoin. Besides, the market is down now. The price will go up but it will take some time. Being patient is the only safe option now.

ICO's or any kind of investment you should first know how the market works around it. There are several things to consider before investing as the most important thing you have to do is know what it is you're investing in, how it'll work out long term as this isn't a business that is short term. Patience is key in these kinds of situation if you're hoping for a positive outcome.

Well, all these are just the consequence of the drastic fall off bitcoin. Whenever the value grows a bit higher now, the investors try to sell the coins conceding the minimum loss. And the tokens fall kinda in the middle. All you can do is to wait for the value to get higher or just to convert it into some suitable currency.

I think this is a frequently asked question, I often saw such kind of the question. Yes, it is a bad fact that always happens after an ICO coin has listed on exchanges. This is a complicated problem since many parties that cause the significant price reduction. I am thinking about the limit of the lowest token price on exchanges. If it can be applied in all exchanges, we won't see a token with no price. But it seems impossible to apply because most of cryptocurrencies are decentralized and no one can control the prices, only the demand on market that influences the prices.   

I waited for 6 months for great project to recover after releasing tokens on exchanges after ICO. Price fell down 6x from ICO price in ETH mostly because of bear market, but also I think all who got their coins for bounty, managment, promotions of all kind, just dumped coin right away. Now after 6 months we are still in bear market but my coin is going above ICO price. It's just proof that if project is good, you just have to believe in it and hold, no matter how much price falls. You are not in loos until you sell. PS: my coin is chx!

I think that your concern with regards to ICO token price after the campaign tends to drop drastically from the previous price when it was bought is the most common situation happening in the crypto market. However, I greatly believe that there is still a big chance for ICO tokens to recover back it's price in the coming months once btc may spike again after the expected bullish market. Furthermore, investors should refrain from trading their cryptos at a very low price since there is no meaning into such action.

It is usually the case, when the campaign was usually installed with a high selling price, but after IOO finished and coins the dimarket listing, the price of the drop price was normal, if I myself would normally wait for the coin to be worthy of sale

Like all the other people you are not alone. people are crying about the sad state of ICO and sometimes they prefer to buy when the coin hit the market, but it's always a good thing to be an early bird because you can command a price if the project is good.

IT the bear market. The low prices mean that all the projects are going to see their financing reduced, and also they are not reaching the hard caps, so everything points to lower than ico prices.

The main reason is because market is bleeding now and it's a very difficult moment for ALL ICO even the "good" ones with a very solid project are suffering so in this scenario you have only 2 ways:
1) sell tokens at a very low price
2) hold them, hoping that price will rise when market will become bullish again (everyone hope this will happen soon....)

Many reasons why after ico the price of one token dropped maybe because of the investors they are satisfied with the profit they want so thats why they sell it and maybe the distribution of bounty campaign rewards, so thats why its better to sell yours when the price is double or triple up in the ico price.

For investors if they do the first option, pretty sure they lose money which is the capital they invested for purchasing the token at ICO price but for bounty hunters there's nothing to worry because they did not buy tokens at ICO.

If I am the investor it is important for me to get updates every now and then about the project and if I see a potential of the project the best thing to do is to HOLD until the token bullish..

in my opinion it's a natural thing. try to pay attention before buying a token when ico
1. how much is the total bounty allocation
2. Is the bounty allocation distributed simultaneously with the investor?
3. Is there a bad issue about the project.
usually a coin will be normal in the market after more than 3 weeks

It's because of the trading when the coin or token launch on exchanges after the ico finish.everyone will run to sell so the price will up or down.better wait for some more month's once the you think its my profitable amount sell and get profits.

What to do is a hard question. In a bear market i really don't know what is the answer.

Every token dropping after ico even they got the hard cap in seconds. So really don't know what to do.

well in this situation, the projects purposely drops the price and allow the token ride the wave. they dont pump in money to increase the pricemaybe they are waiting for some people to drop the token in the low price, sometimes they just do it and dont care how you feel about it

I guess it depends - honestly, the market has been bearish since the beginning of this year. Thinking back late last year around December when Bitcoin reached the new all-time high of $20k, all the other altcoins were following and reaching new highs. Then- a bear market began and all coins declined including ICO tokens which went below the ICO price. However, we all know that it's how the market goes, prices will always rise and fall. Just wait until the next bull so that you can proceed with your day trades. Personal advice is to hold during times like these ones or accumulate more.

Something tells me that you are not so alone, there are still a lot of people who have encountered the same difficulty, but it seems to me that there are not many options, namely, he is one Hodl

Some ICOs these days are more concerned about enriching themselves, then by the time they list, they seem not to be concerned about how the tokens behave after listing. Except for some few ones that follow up their listing tokens and ensure that they grow and trade above ICO price.
What you should so most times when you receive your tokens,, study them first and deduce from your study if there is any likelihood for it to dump.
If it appears it could dump, sell and buy back if it dips.

ico coin prices dropped dramatically after ico ended. it is natural, there are lots of ico and bounties that I follow and the average all goes down. the price does not match like before before ico ended, i think mending you just save your coin until your coin price is profitable for you

these drops have a very simple and realistic  reason.
unlike you the majority of the market knows that the token they have bought and the hype of it has an expiration date so they know that they should act fast before that date comes and before others sell. it is like a race to dump faster to get the biggest amount out. and as the dump begins the prices start to go down.
and the reason for that "expiration date" is that the token has no future, no usage or anything that can give it some sort of viability in longer term.

It is a great tactic to buy new coin that you like. Find a good ICO and wait until the token will be listed on the first exchange. 90 percent of all ICOs are losing their price and you will be able to get their tokens for 0,3x price from the token sale price.

I think this is always happened in many ICO when the ICO was finish and then the tokens/coin listing in any exchange because maybe their ICO doing airdrop or bounty. And when tokens for airdrop and bounty doesn't locked and they (bounty hunter and who join airdrop) will sell to gain profit. So if you just in case like this I think you can always trade your token or just hodl n waiting for their project completed but maybe it will took a long time maybe.

You should wait for a year or two before your token will increase because investments in the most ICOs is a long-term project. A startup could not become profitable and well-known in a short-term period.

Because in these current market condition.
No investors wants to invest on ICO except a really good ICO.
So, listing ICO tokens is this current market is a suicide for the project

it's caused because bitcoin dropped so as to make prices follow the price of bitcoin, all the same as altcoins that already existed dimarket also dropped following the movement of bitcoin, so be careful if you invest ico at the present time

Bear markets are like this. The price of many ICO projects has gone down a lot. This reflects the weak expectations of the market. Especially in bear markets. No profit has been made.

i think in this case, most investors that had sells all their tokens from ico sale has a enough profit gaining its because of a extra bonus tokens. they dump the coin because the main currency or a bitcoin is not yet stable.. so, they planning a hit and run strategy. or maybe they buy back if the price totally dumped. this is only my thought!

after the sale of ICO is completed and the token is entered in the market list, the usual price of token dump is sometimes the price of the dump is very far from when buying a strange ICO indeed and there is an analysis of investors needed to hold that requires a long time. and I have my own way to use it to make a profit.

I will advice you to hold if the coin is worth and if it has a great product to keep it alive but if the team and the project has no potential in surviving this bear market we are right now then there is no time than selling it .
On the drastic drop of coin after ico , I think it depend on the market time just as we are in bear market mode which has to work in line with btc value or eth and the fear of the market also made investors to dump early in other to have some profit so as to rebuy at the bottom , cos if you look at most ico that was lunched last year when we had bull were all perform after hitting market so the bear is one of the reason most are dip now.

I think it's normal here, the price goes up and down. If you are asking for what to do, the my answer is "decision is in your hand". The tokens are yours, so it's up to you what will you do to them. But, remember one thing, don't forget to research about it before you decide to sell or hold the token.

Because we are in a bear market. And also there are always bounty hunters who are selling their tokens very cheap because they do not want to wait if the token will be successful.

It is indeed patient that we maintain to hold all the altcoins that we have, with the influence of low prices after the ICO, and usually all because of fear that prices will continue to fall, so people who get without buying at the ICO will immediately sell it not before the price is up or down,

this always happen when the first day list in the market, in that day all people sell all token they have and then the price drop down instanly though the price of ico and pre-ico hight. this work affect a great way to price of token, i think we just hold them a period time and wait the price rise and buy later.

it's a big problem. If the token price was $ 1 (ico price), then bounty hunters will sell them for even a few cents. This is a reality, but that is not the only reason. Much depends on the project itself and the team.

I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. It's actually the current trend and it's been on like this for over 8 months now. I have coins in one of my wallets which have almost become dust in terms of price. Sometimes, they go a whole week without volume of trade in those coins.

A lot of factors cause the drop in price of those coins. They range from dumping from private sales investors alongside their huge bonuses to lack of updates from the team and devs on the project. These project may as well be scams too. You might have to check their community to see what's going on in there and they're talking about.

I advise you check for updates on those projects whose coins you're hodling. If it's gotten to a situation where the team have simply gone quiet for a long time, then that's a red flag, and you need to make huge decisions of cutting your losses and moving on.

Nowadays this is actually normal  for me after ICO projects almost all tokens from it are dropped or below in ICO price. The best thing to do is patiently wait for the bullrun or increase the price, I believe market will recover soon.

In such situations I will take simple actions. If I am in your position I will hold until the token or coin increases. But I also examined whether the token or coin is worthy of my hold.

The main reason is that the ICO tokens price is tied to the price of the main coins (ETH, BTC or other ones)

It depends on your strategy, read about the strategies here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4772679.msg43103509#msg43103509

The market right now is flat and will likely stay range bound until the next big bitcoin halving and the year after that... so usually the market surges about a year after  the bitcoin halving.  Maybe there could be some other event with Ethereum or some other big coin to change that but so far things are locked into what happens with bitcoin.

You just have to wait.  As long as the ICO you invested in is good then there is nothing to worry about.  A lot of ICO and various coin projects are undervalued right now and that's just the market.  Then again, a lot of ICO and coin projects also have ZERO value with no product, service, use case, etc and have more value than they ever should have to begin with.

That is true, most of the bounty hunters do sell their token when they get it that is why most projects don't give their token to bounty hunter not unless their real investors profit first. So you should take this opportunity to profit before the bounty hunters start to sell off their tokens.

There are two basic things to do depending on individual.. If you need to sell your coins immediately after ICO, take note of the time for first exchange and sell immediately trading start for promising price or hold if you don't need money urgently for a later period to sell as the best approach to get mouth watering gain is long term

I hate to admit it, but the main reason why a coin value drops after it got listed is that the bounty hunters are already dumping their coin. Give it 2-3 months for the coin value to recover but if there are no changes after that, maybe the coin is weak or there is not that much demand for the coin. Sometimes, the coin popularity is important because the demand is much higher for popular coins.

No offense, but it seems that you had no plan about what to do if the price of the coins in which you invested went down, it seems that you have the hopes that the price will always go up and that is not the way any market works, no one can take the decision for you, you need to decide if you keep holding your coins or you sell them and which option you take will depend on the quality of the coin.

There might be a reason for this. Some investors known as bounty hunters invest in ICO for a very short term. They drop their token after ICO for a small profit.

In this scenario, you have to wait. Now most of the coins have fallen in price and quite strongly. I have patience and wait until they grow in value.

Sell it when the price seems to be good for you.
Don't wait for it until it dumps, there is only two scenario with that coin.
Its either it will recover or it won't.

There is no demand for project tokens, which is why users themselves lower the price to get rid of the tokens. Another price when entering the stock exchanges is very different from the one that was in the sale of tokens with ICO.

If you are not going to keep the coin in the long term, then short-value trading will be best, immediately after the end of the ICO. In this case, you can get some profit.

That's the main reason i've stopped to purchase coins during ICO. IN 85-90% after listing tokens drops hardly, so what for buy in ICO and wait if you can buy cheaoer on exchange??

It's one of the many losses lately, seeing a market that is getting worse, you should know about the listing date and time of the coins you bought. Normally you have to wait some time until the price goes up.

It is happening to 99 percent of all ICOs at the moment. Due to such bad market conditions the price is falling and we cannot do anything about it. The only thing we can do now is to buy deep and to wait for the bullish market that is coming soon.

If it's a project you value as good and has the potential to invest the same length of time. And you know that it can reduce the price in the future, you can sell it and buy it when it's cheaper, it will help you have more tokens of that project.

There are a lot of reasons why prices drop after ICO, some investors and bounty hunters dump their token once it gets listed in a decent exchange or once it has a market volume. Another thing is that, some investors are scared of holding ICO tokens for a long-term due to the current market situation where only few ICOs stay alive.

Hello everyone, I am currently receiving bounty tokens, I buy at a price below the ICO price. and I do not sell tokens ..

I now have about 80% of coins in my wallet, which after ISO have dropped in price by at least 60-70%. I see no point in selling. The thing is, when I invested, I morally reconciled with the loss of my investments. In other words, I’m just waiting for profits, so I’ll just hold

Which means that you do believe those tokens that you don't sell?
How can you take profit if you won't sell any of those?
Do you believe that long term hold for those tokens you have is the best?

Many ICO this days are now just pump and dump, because that's they are plan at the first place but this kind of project is not worth because they just wasting the time and effort of the people. After there ICO end all the investors are gonna sell their holdings or they will wait for the pump and gonna dump soon.

i also have a number of tokens in my wallet and the price now has decreased by more than 80%, if i sell it now i will not get the benefits i should get. that's why i held it back until the price really returned.

i think holding it for just a few months won't do me any harm, as you say "i'm just waiting for profit, so i'll just hang on"

I think why the ICO price dropping in after the token release is that there are many campaign participants that they are selling their rewards.

After the ICO most of the bounty hunters are selling right away their token to the exchanger site that mostly the price was going down, i suggest we must hold it first atleast 3 to 6 months in that time the price will go up and we have get big income.

its because leading coins are in the dip, mostly bitcoin. so that investors from different kind of ICO projects decided to dump their coins/tokens at the very start of the listing after the ICO, some other decided to hold, and let dumpers sell all their rewards, in believing that after the dump theres a pump, but not this time, reds/dips are everywhere so if you want to get profits from the rewards you get from the ICO, expect it to hold for more than a year.

Indeed, most bounty hunters after tokens are distributed, finished with the ICO have a market,  they will dispose of tokens that are obtained, this is indeed natural but the results are not optimal. If you are more patient and waiting, you will certainly have good value, if the developer can do well.

The depreciation of tokens after the ICO, in my opinion, is associated with a general fall in the crypto market. Because, in 2017, the rise of the Bitcoin price dragged along all the altcoins. Even a minor altcoin could grow several times at that time. However, even the successful altcoins of the past year have  become ten times cheaper now.

a team of developers is key from the existing price will be going up and not. a pretty good team, of course, will continue to try and turn the brain so that what they run will be able to continue to have value for money. Indeed lots of ICO always just fall to the price that is pretty far from the original and it's quite a lot of people giving disappointment.

Actually it's always doing that the price of the coins was to low if the ICO was finished.
So that is the time we hold our coins and it will going to a long time to wait on when gonna be increase the price back.

Your observation is not true for every case or maybe it is better to say for every time period. During the bearish period most ICO open with a big red candle I know more than 90% drop ICO which was hardcapped. And also during the bullish period most ICO open with a big green candle.
Of course, the quality of ICO is very important to and also HYPE.

What to do? Wait and watch the asset. Also continue to follow the project. If the team continues to develop, performs activities roadmap, then there is the likelihood of increasing the price of the asset. If, on the contrary, there is no news on the project, the team is inactive, then such an asset should be sold (even at a lower price).

Thats right. i dont know why projects make such mistakes.  Bounty hunters sold tokens on etherdelta - forkdelta before token is listed on any  exchanges. investors should get tokens first and then with a weekly interval for bounty hunters.

I think recently people tend to wait for project success before more investors, without new investors after ICO market price will drop as a lot of persons will sell to take whatever profit while the whole panic sellers, plus developers and other team coins are sold that cause further drop. If a project is actually very good, It will eventually pump afterwards

Do not sell them right now. It will not give you any benefit of selling your coins right now. Due to the current market, everything is dropping pretty hard, so just stay calm and hodl them. You can also buy some more coins while deep, to get higher profits.

not all bounty hunters make direct sales, some hold them if they get a prize, all back to each
of them sometimes bounty hunters make a sale because they already get the reward from the gift.

But of course you can't set aside the possibility that the coins you're trying to hold will be stay in the lower price. We all know that not all cryptos are worth it because some of them is shitcoins.

In order not to lose a lot of money you have to buy tokens to either a closed sale or on pre sale with a big discount. And besides, are you sure you participated in the ICO promising projects? Such projects are usually the price after the IPO is not falling sharply.

Hello there, 90% of tokens fall down after ICO now, it's a usual situation, you just need to choose ICO more wisely now, ICO still can be profitalbe just do more researches about it. However if you are bountyhunter just do the same things.

It clearly tell us that after ICO and after a specific coin is listed on exchanges bounty hunters or ny other holders were dumping the tokens they have that is why there is a price drop. When market is red and the release of coins on exchanges has launched it will be a total disaster to most token holders. So if you have tokens from an ICO and if you think the coins you have has less potential then I highly recommend you to sell it right away.

No strategy works all the time, when we were in the middle of the bull market almost all the coins went up after the ico and that is why people were investing a lot of money in icos but now those people have realized that strategy does not work anymore, so they have adjusted and now they are waiting for the ico to be over and the crash of the coin to happen to buy the coins for a cheap price.

The price drops mainly resides with dumpings. People investes and switches to something else and this leads to the lower prices.

One of the main reason for the price fall is massive dumping. After investments the investors when they see a little profit they dump which results in lower price.

A lot of people attract to these ICO because of bounty. Once this is over, they just simply dump it. Also, after ICO sale, there comes the challenge of innovation and good business model. If the team behind fails, it will necessarily go down which happens most of the cases.

in the current scenario that must be done after the token is listed on the exchange is to immediately sell it while you get a profit.
I think we must know about the development of the projects that we follow so as not to be left behind.

there are many factors, one of which is the factor of red trends that dominate the market, however bitcoin is very binding on the market. well this is our risk if you invest in ico when a situation like this.

As practice shows, the token should be immediately sold in the first hours after listing on the exchange. Then the bounty hunters will come down to drain the price several times lower. Then you can buy at very cheap prices if the project is promising. It’s up to everyone to wait until the price drops or it’s too late to act now.

To be honest I can't name any ICO tokens/coins that provided crowdsale last half a year and now they trade higher than they were on ICO. Instead of this they all delay exchange listing or even token distribution.
Also all investors know that tokens will be cheaper on exchanges in 99% of cases and this is the opportunity for them too see if project is developing according to roadmap. So the ICO market now seems to be at sunset

Without positive news from the project team and active market making, any token falls to the bottom with time. These are today's realities.

After the ICO you must wait for the getting a result like the money or other benefits. In the majority of cases it could be going on in the short time but there coud be exceptions.

that is what usually happens, after the ico sale ends, then rewarding the hunter bounties after the price is distributed will usually experience a significant decline, to increase the coin price depends on the developer whether to pump the price or not,

ICOs are often ends with the getting income like rewards and it is a logic end of it. But a lot of people are also oriented on the result like the contribution for the future.

It seems that is the best strategy at the moment, but you need to be very fast, you only have a small window of opportunity to sell your coins for a high price before the supply of the coin in the exchange becomes massive and you need to sell your coins for a loss, but to me an even better strategy is to just hold your bitcoin and avoid buying icos, that way you do not have to go through all that trouble.

This is not something that has to do with bounty hunters, and mind if I tell you that most bounty campaigns usually only hold few percentage of the total coin or token. In this case I would say this has more to do with the whole market itself not being favorable since it is a bear market and even the bigger investors have more part to play when it comes to driving the market down as only their bonuses alone is enough to do that and most bounty hunters even only get to sell lower than ICO price at times which is always the target of the whales.

It is even just something with the market currently and in a bear phase for most cryptocurrencies; it is a normal thing to get to see the whole ICO market as well taking the hit. ICOs are still very much profitable but we have to understand that this is an altcoin market and the volatility is always going to be huge which is the reason you should never be investing what you cannot afford to see go down in the short term and at least be more focused on the long term which is actually the main thing anyway.

Nothing, there is nothing you can do anymore but to wait that the price will go up again someday. After listing, you should go and sell your tokens immediately if you think that other people will dump it immediately. Yet, if the project and ico looks promising, you could wait for long-term so that the value of it may be doubled, tripled, and more.

It will always be the demand and supply that dictates the price and also the development of the product concerning the project that lure investors to buy the tokens. If there is a dump after the ICO, of course the price would go down but eventually it will pump after some time. Usually it is the dump by bounty hunters could cause the dip of value.

When you receive a token from your work, you immediately open the telegram to see or ask where the token is registered. After that, you go directly to the market. I think, all tokens or coins are the same fate, where after the ICO ends, prices go down immediately.

I believe we share the same perspective on this issue, In the case of Online.IO recently concluded ICO, the project did meet a hard cap of USD50,000,000 and after listing on an exchange each token cost $0.5, meanwhile bounty hunters tokens are still locked for 3 months, but currently the token is trading for ~$0.05 while no tokens has been issued to bounty hunters and some investors too are yet to get their tokens.

In my opinion the tokens are usually greatly reduced after ICOS. Because of the bad crypto market and the bitcoin prices are down a lot, so the Altcoins tend to go down and the tokens are down.

Here you yourself need to make a decision. If the project has prospects, then it is worth holding their tokens and selling only when it grows in price. If the project has no prospects, then maybe it makes sense to sell tokens until the price has fallen even lower.

There is not a guarantee that the price of a token is going to go up after a dump, that seems to me like the expectations of the investors of that coin and nothing more, this is why bounty hunters get so desperate to try to get rid of their coins immediately because they cannot be sure that what you are describing will happen and they sell because of it.
