The possibility of making a lot of money in one day, via day trading, is alluring to most.  However, if you're working a full-time job (or two) how can you spend time watching the market to know when to buy and sell?  I'm in a few other groups and people are often promoting ICOs as the way to go.  They definitely require less monitoring.  What do y'all think?

ICO investment is tricky as well, if the market is bearish more likely the coin you purchased in ico will be trading even below ico price when it gets listed, so not only choosing quality project with competent team is important while investing in an ico but overall market sentiment also has its impact.

I think ICO investment is the best but the challenge here is that it is becoming difficult to find good ICOs to invest into because the good projects are now selling out in private sale and pre-sale before the ICO. Day trading is a decent way to make some profit but IMO ICO investing is better than traders

For me ICO investment is less risky, than day trading. But better avoid both options now.  In the current conditions, when  market is bearish, the chance to lose money quite high. If you invest in ICO, make deep analyze before, the token doesn't make so easy x5-10 as before.

Quite good question. I think I prefer daytading to icos. Over all these days I have lost so much money on bad icos. Meanwhile good day trading can always give you endless profits. That's why I choose it. By the way long term is better.

ICOs are better for the people you spoke of who perhaps have less time to invest and want something a little more passive. For those of us with little commitments we are able to day trade as well as investing in ICOs which is better than doing just one of the two mentioned.

Day trading is very difficult especially if you do not know technical analysis. I think anybody who doesn't now ta , he or she will keep away
from day trade. I think research about ico's or long term investment is good.

If you do have a job or having even more then it would really be hard for you to sustain or handle out on doing trading specially on short day trading on where price monitoring would be crucial but come to think off that trading do have 2 different ways either you would go for short term or for long term.You can still do trading while you do have a job but most of the time you are just simply holding off your coins for longer periods.ICO investments can possibly give profits but it wont really be on short time.

ICO can raise the probability of increasing money with knowledge and can lower the risk.
Read the white paper, see the number of coins issued (If the number of coins issued is too large, the price tends to fall), or see the evaluation with ICOdrops.

On the other hand, day trade requires skillful technique, especially I think it is difficult to win in the cold market.

As you have said, it really depends on the individual itself. Both pose very big risk as we all know that you can lose if you have been scam by ICO, but day trading risk is that with so much volatility, you can also lose in a blink of an eye.

They said that you have to do your homework before investing in ICO, but that will also take a lot of time. But for me its better to do day trading, at least you have total control of your money. I mean you can have your entry and exit strategy chances are, you can mitigate your risk. Compare to your money in ICO which you don't control and just hoping that the ICO will not be a scam and it will give big dividends to its investors.

my opinion for this is I would prefer to invest in ICO because promising big profits on condition we have to really right to choose which ICO will be invested. although now people have begun to lose their faith in ICO but I will continue to try as long as there is potential.

a big risk but there is also great results, that you would feel if invest in ICO. not all ICO promises and not a little bit of a scam, it's a concern to always be alert and clever in selecting the ICO. trade is indeed a promising but if market conditions are falling like this time then it will also be a challenge can be overcome.

In trading you can earn 5-15% daily if you will be lucky and have good skills of trading, but when you HODL - you can expect even on 1000%+ (depend on project of course).

Ico investment like trading entails alot of risk and reward and we should not invest in them without adequate knowledge on how those things works.The trading is good if you have skills and understand on technical analysis indicators and how to interpret those indicators. Ico investment is very risky and you will need to invest in many of them for few to come out successfully.

day trades better, if the trader is already experienced in trading. but if you do not have the skills to trade, then better invest in ico and try to participate in whitelist or pre ico, because the average bonus is much more than at ico.

I think both are risky investment but experts only doing day trading so they know the possibilities of crypto market. ICO investment is always risk because any time the project is down in the market. All the platform is depends on the investors so I will supporting to day trading is the best profitable secure platform compared to ICO.

Those who buy and sell goods are always willing to hurt. It is important to set targets in the long term or mid-term.

if you compare the profits between daily trading with a bounty project that takes weeks, it would seem unfair. trading profits depend on the capital we use, the profits will be determined by how much capital while the bounty program already has a certain bonus allocation that they will give to the participants of course, both have their own shortcomings and advantages

Daytrading is not for newbies. Although potentially it can be more profitable, but I can not say what is better in a particular situation.

Of course it's possible to earn huge amount of money with trading in just a day but it's not easy cause you need to find out cryptocurrency will increase a lot in a day and it'll be the first coin on top gainers. Investing in ICO project is also really good but you can't earn money by investing in ICO project in just a day cause it take really long time to end an ICO project and listing token on exchange.

Exactly.  It is like...should I buy a car (unknown kind) or should I race it, type of question.  LOL

Given your current knowledge, buy BTC or ETH and hold it.  Keep learning then hopefully in time you will realize what is right for you (HODL, trade, participate on ICO, etc.).  Good luck!

In my opinion I would like to invest in ICO the reason is it promising big profits on condition. They both risky investment. but ICO gives you option to choose and avoid risk. But do your own research before investing.

HOW?

Risk comes in many form...many you don't even expect.  There are many ICO's that looked good on paper and just fizzled out.  Some are very promising but got listed only on bad exchanges and died.

Most people don't realize the ICO risk...remember, the money you put in ICO is a "donation".  They can run away and there is nothing you can do about it.  There is no greater risk than that.

If you're an experienced day-trader who knows how to manage risks properly and "read" the markets definitely go for it. You will most probably grow your portfolio more then by investing in ICOs. Don't forget that ICOs are dangerous as well! Always DYOR and don't get manipulated by shiny things and promises. Make rational decisions and manage your funds accordingly!

if i have to choose then i prefer to follow ico than on daily trading. because I am busy with my job, maybe if I trade then my work will be disrupted, so I prefer ICO

Not any of the two. Why? I believe 95% ICOs are just pure shit and just a pump and dump scheme for some people. The whole concept behind an ICO these days are also far from reality, making it's hard to believe that they will actually deliver the promised product. I also don't have the time for day trading. It's very very time consuming and stressful. I'm a student, I definitely don't have the time nor I could handle the stress. So what do I do?

Why must you choose between the two? Don't you know you can choose other trade strategy like mid-term/long-term trading? That's what I do. Investing in some altcoin for a longer time. In my spare time, I make a research on some altcoins, deciding which one is worthy for investment. I make a regular investment everytime I earned some money. That's how I do it. Don't take too much time and far more effective.

both of them imposes different risks influenced by the current market condition or the possible potential of the ICO, they both possess some ups and downs, day trading requires a regular monitoring to the markets price flow while on the other hand ICO it takes more time to know the result of the sale.

This a pain in the head actually mostly if the crowdsale started from the bull market where all the price of the cryptocurrency which is accepted as a payment for an ICO is high then it finishes when the market corrections and crashes are starting sometimes it is better to wait for the actual release of the token the exchanges cause your going to see some tokens more way cheaper than the presale with the addition of bonuses.

Yes ICO's does not require that much time to monitor your promotions and you get to pick your time on when you check them but it does have some requirements too. Day trading on the other hand works great for those who really have time to spend on monitoring coins, especially if you want to go for short term trading. I tried that once and it just didn't work for me as days go by because I don't get enough sleep, and without sleep you really can't think straight.

You don't have to sit in front of the screen 24/7 to make money day trading. You can tell by the charts on what's going to happen. So if you find something that has indicated it's going somewhere, you just buy it up and list it for a higher price and then walk away. Also, there's a lot of scammy icos out there. So you really have to be careful going that route.

Daily trading requires a lot of time indeed while investing in ICO requires a good one-time research. But in my opinion day trading is skill-based, while investing in ICO is more related to your luck.

You can not really compare them, because the method, process and the time consumed is so different. If you have a lot of time, unemployed and has some money, doing both will be great. But if I must pick one of them I prefer trading since we could manage all the risk.

both of those is great but importantly you should evaluate and analyze what between those are gonna pump

Initial Coin Offerings will alaways be the easiest form of investing and getting fast money growth. When you invest in a good ico, its always sure that the value of your coins will go upside. So its good for beginners. When you want to day trade, its a little bit harder. Day trading is not for beginners. So many new people start end of last year with day trading while the bullrun of bitcoin, and they thought how easy it is. But believe thats not normal. For day trading you need a lot of skills and a lot of experience. Otherwise you will lose money very fast!

Nowadays ICOs are not quick profitable unless it is really a good ICO if you have a good time then day trading is not a bad option after learning it. But if there is time constraint then ICO investment is not a bad option, however proper research about investing ICO is mondatory before investing any money.

Day trading is not an easy thing for most people.  Buying and Holding promising ICOs and other top coins is a safer approach.

If you found a good ico and invest in the ico you could make 10-1000x but finding those kind of icos are so hard now days as everyday many ico's are pumping, daytrading is also a great if you compound your daily income in few months you rise you amount to double or triple but need too much concentrate and TA, also now there's few bot available if you don't have any time for day trade like profitrailer, crypto agent bot etc...

Especially if we will see the bearish market. if we are doing day trading and if the bearish trend was coming and then we will be automatically getting trapped when we are buying at the top and that's involved very high risk compared with longterm holding.

Day trading is possible but you need to do a lot of research and the key is to be PATIENT.

Hi! It depends on your knowledge and experience. If you are a swing trader then you will not have to sit all the time at the computer and analyze market situation because swing traders are concentrated on analyzing bigger time frames (on daily charts for example). But ICO is also a very good investment decision, the main thing here is to choose the right ICO with the well-designed concept and experienced managers in place. I hope my response helped you!

I think day trading is a very risky game  , same with ICOs, I wouldn't do it myself and would stick to holding.

It is not that only one you need to take care of. Instead of the patient, you need something important like don't be lazy and checking them regularly (it doesn't mean you have to do it every single minute, but keep the tempo when you check them) Although you could book the price and wait till the price reached your goal haha.

You are trying to compare absolutely different ways of earning. You can trade 2-3 hours after the main job. If you have experience, it will undoubtedly bring you success. Investments in ICO require much more time. Sometimes to find a good project you need to spend a few days to study it.

I suggest instead choosing one of them just choose them both because that's more profitable for me and it's not really hard as what you think. But it really need enough knowledge to do that do your own search very well in both of them and I am telling it will give you a big profit in the future.

I agree. We have to be patient if we want to make money with trading. Investing our money in ICO is not a great thing anymore. AS you can see, the amount of money which flow into ICOs decrease every month. People realize that ICO contains a huge risk and they can not determine which ICO is good and which is a scam

I prefer to invest in crypto projects, and I keep all the coins in my wallet, if you found a good ico and invest in the ico you could make 5-100x

I know someone who is good at day trading and was sure that he can be able to do ico's too but he said he is so hooked at day trading that is the only thing he does and nothing more. Not even bounties.

Right. At times when the market is falling, day trading is very risky so investing in a good ICO is a form of investment in this time. I am investing in EFFECT.AI, the remaining 15h for KYC registration and ICO purchase. This is a very good project to build a distributed artificial intelligence platform, you can quickly register here: https://www.effect.ai/

I think that not all people can trade, so they will choose to participate in ICO. Everyone should choose a way of earning that he likes. I like trading more.

only different target
if ico in target much profit and long term investment
if day trade few profit and short term investment

which is needed ie trading signal, trading signal is signal when we should buy and when we should sell it, and we do not need to monitor the market. of course this is not free you have to pay first.

If you do not have the nature of an investment trader is the solution because the investment does not need to be too deep with the thinking so I suggest you to invest just easier and practical.

In day trading you are responsible for your actions (buy and sell).
You have more control and if you have skills surely you will make some good money.
On other hands ICO are risky.
You need a lot of research to find that the ICO is legit or not.
So choose wisely.

Its all depend on how you want to make profit. If you want to make profit at range 3-6% you can do it by day trading. But if you like to make 10x or flipping at 2x you can choose good ico. Im not shilling i just want to give people who want to invest this month in ico i suggest : auctus and repux. For next month it will be essentia. I have tried essentia apps and its work well.

Exactly, Both are always risky because we don't know how the market is going to be when it comes to trading if we at buy at the higher value and the market went down we have to wait for it long period. The same thing with the ICO also, we don't whether it has huge potential in the market and whether the team is capable of developing what they mentioned.

Today there are some free ico for all of us if we help them advertise on social networking sites ... We just need to spend some time helping them advertise then we will get the same amount of coin. worthy of our merits. I will introduce you ico Marinecoin is playing free. We will get 20,000 coin per day or 140,000 coin MTC per week if we help them advertise on bitcointalk and you can get unlimited. You can get 20,000 MTC coins per day if you help them advertise. Until the amount of coin supply enough. The highest supply is 9 billion coin ... Marinecoin is also known as MTC. You can look up MTC’s information on google ...  Currently marinecoin is ico at the website http://marineco.in + Marinecoin friendly environment iot. ,,, ///  Marinecoin is a machine to machine ... Marinecoin is a coin with artificial intelligence + Marinecoin has arrtificial intelligence machine to machine payment network.//// Marinecoin has dev-less. And their team is amazing. + It is dev-less and eco friendly, maintained by an artificial intelligence / + Marinecoin zero fees. Marinecoin has an artificial intelligence The best thing that investors like us when we hear about it is that they absolutely love zero fees. They are building each day Marinecoin growing. Let’s join them and help them build the growing MTC community. - Marinecoin is completely free so it is a good opportunity for us to earn thousands of dollars later. I believe Marinecoin will soon surpass bitcoin to become top 1 on the coinmarketcap because Marinecoin has done it before! You can buy MTC with Doge, LTC or Btc on https://f1cx.com. Marinecoin is coin rather than Token. So you can buy them on f1cx.com. They are fun and successful! .

I'll go with investing to ICO compare to day trade. Trading is very risky, and also ICO. But if you can find the best ICO project it is really worth to invest there compare to day trade which it is also risky. Overall, I'll go with investing in ICO, only legit ICO and have low hardcapped.

hi guys what is ico means im newbie and still studying :)

You are right I will also favor for the investment in ICO as the income from these ICos are confirmed if first you confirm its legitimacy. Try to invest in ICO for getting a confirmed profit. But you also try to stay alert from scam ICOs and there are a number of people who are saying that they invest in an ICO and they not found any profit. It is because they do not invest in any potential project. Try to invest in any project which is already running and they are starting their ICO i.e the ICO of movieschain or you can also invest in any ICO which will be the ICO of a payment system of potential demand i.e the ICO of cellblocks etc.

I prefer daily trading, because it is faster profitable, if our precise prediction is very profitable, rather than follow the ico that sometimes scam

At the moment, trading or investing in ICOs is risky, the market now is too bad, i see that most of coins is continuity down. While investing in ICOs is also not better. In 2017, we can easy get benefits from investing in ICOs which is listed on exchange sites will increase 2x even 10x in the short time but in 2018, everything are completely reversed, many ICOs have a good project but after it's listed on exchange site the its price go down 1/2 even 1/5 compared to ICO prices. I think the best should not join the market at the time.

Because everyone in demand to sell their coins to follow the trend in the crypto right now. But ico result can't be predicted. i remember there is a recent ico that listed on the exchange site and it has been traded more than 12x from the ico price. But that depends on the how the developers can make more and more people trusted to buy the coin itself to give an early hype to the coin.

Either way both categories have their qualities and defects. In relation to daily trading the great quality is the exponential increase of your money, the defect is that we can spend the day looking for investments and not finding nothing or even lose by the downward flow of the market. Now in relation to ICO its quality is the possibility of participating in a project of success and to obtain future profits, the defect is the possibility of participating in scam.

I'm trying to invest in long-term ICOs. It is enough for tokens such as June-July to be released. :) So I have not been addicted  ;D

Day trading is hard especially if you have a full time job and can't afford to spend a lot of time to monitor the price so icos is the better way to earn profit but only if you invest in great project. The market also is bearish so you can lose a lot if you are not familiar with trading and not experienced enough to handle the emotion. It's good if you are in icos group, especially if the members done a great research for the icos that they are promoting.

Now there is lots of scum in ICO, very few are real with the working product. Imho you can combine two this things. Or on the other side, buy tokens of good ICOs that now can be cheaper than on ICO)

https://www.coingecko.com/en/ico/one-ledger oneledger ico seem to be hyped

If you are good and have plenty of time each day. You should trade every day. Or if you do not have time then you should choose to invest in ICO. Remember to choose good ICO

Combine both is a best. As investor I have more patience because I spent my attention due to research before participation. As day trader I spend a huge time to view TA

Most people can not trade properly. They prefer to find a good project for investment and wait a few months to get a good profit. Everyone chooses his own way. But now there is opportunities to earn only for traders due to the bearish trend.

It really depends.
If you are too busy then ICOs. If you have time then Day Trading.
But keep in mind about the market. At the moment, the best thing is to stay away from ICOs.
Like 90% of them are going crazy down, talking about the new ones. But 6-7 months ago, ICOs were a goldmine.
It just depends on several factors man.

certainly if you have a permanent full-time job it would be better to invest in an ICO, but that is very high risk, since lately these projects are not having much success. and if you want to use day trading as a source of income you should educate yourself more about the subject and make a schedule to work it, because this one needs dedication and concentration

In active trading you will be less tied to a separate product/coin than when you enter the ICO. As for me, this is a very significant difference. :)

All of the choice are very risky. We have research more than more. If you are looking for icos you have to know team. And we saw many scam ico's.
Daily trade is very difficult. You have to know technical analysis good also you have to follow all the news about crypto and coins. But i think long term invvest is the best choice. And i am choosing ICO's.

ICO is an initial cryptocurrency offering, which is the launch or sale of a new coin or token. sales are not yet on the exchange, but only done on the official website of the token or coin ICO project.
Maybe its like pre-order.

I like investing in ICO's since I suck at day trading and my nerves can't handle it. But with a market like we have now make sure only invest in qulity ICO's since the chance that you can buy cheaper at exchange is kinda big at the moment.

2 things that have advantages and disadvantages between day trading and ico

Similarity of both are buy in the cheap for sell after the price is expensive

And from both have different strategies
for day trading must understand  technical analysis and fundamental analysis, and for ICO must learn more about developer, manager, whitepaper, roadmap, and possible success of planned coin project.

So both need different approaches and different ways of learn
notes that neither of them guarantees that someone will succeed in either or will go bankrupt

Those two things are also make few people who benefit and improve the quality of life

Conclusion I want to convey is how we can time management and learn both strategies to determine what best we join in, not judge which is better and worse
because both have anventage we can take.

Thanks

Well that would be instincts if you'd run trading because being trader must have focus on market and fond ways to have profit. It's too bad to sell if your losing your investment. Also if your a trader just think that always catch for those alt that is active daily so it pumps and dump week or month so you can check for profit.
Therfore joining ICO's is the best to choose as no investment would start just join and follow the rules.

But for me I'd rather go for ICO's then while waiting for the campaign you can have trade also. So that it wont be bored by waiting for the end of ico.

These are completely different approaches, and there is no sense to compare them. In trading you need to keep your hand on the pulse, in the ICO - to own information.

This is a good time to invest in ICOs because the market is in a downward trend so trading days are extremely risky for your assets if you are not a professional trader. ICO investment is less risky because during this time if the ICO project mobilizes enough capital then it is really a very good project.

thank you

I choose day trading because with day trading can maximize the risk of loss and we can determine how much profit we get. so I think we can use day trading rather than ico more definitely get profit.

the two are risky but I prefer to invest in ICO you can gain big profit than day trading but ICO's are more risky your money can be pop up like a bubble because some of ICOs are scam so research first before you invest.

You said many people earn a lot of money from trading in one day ha ha ha this is very interesting.The easier you say is not that easy i think because regularly daily profit from trade is very difficult.Trade is more risky i think.On the other thing ICO investing is not bad but firstly needed a lot of research regarding this ICO who interested to invest.But be careful from scam ICO.

Both is profitable, but as others mentions it is harder to make money on ICO'S in a bearish market like this, unless the ICO has a lot of hype. I would say that investing in ICO's would be the best option for "regular people", it does not take a lot of time and if you choose the right ones you earn a profit without a lot of work.

Daytrading on the other hand requires a lot of work and research, but you can make money no matter if the market is bearish or bullish.

You need to have financial background and more then 5 years experience to day trade and get profit from it.

It is better to start investing to ICOs but be careful and diversify risks.

The next upcoming ICO is lccx.io (http://lccx.io) - looks like promising exchange based in London.  Well developed white paper, experienced team, located in politically stable jurisdiction.

If you have a lot of money like 1m or more, so in my opinion it's much better to invest in ICO with good conditions(like 30%-40% bonus). But not a lot of people have so much money.

I totally agree with you. I also have a fulltime job so i cant trade. Instead, I invest in good altcoin and ICO projects. Holding them in a long term. After few months, i can get their profit

Daytrading consumes a lot of your time, that is why i prefer to invest and have some rest for a while.

I am not saying that ICOS are bad enough, or that daytrading is not profitable.. only that they do not suit to me, i don't feel confortable enough by trading.

You can still day trade if you want by setting up your auto sell if your coin price reach the price that you want it to reach to get a profit, I do not know if there is also auto sell set up on other trading site but for now I am using bittrex for day trade, I do have account on hitbtc and qryptos but I have tried it there or there is also auto sell set up.ICOs also is a good way if you invested in a good and potential project but be careful for scam ICOs because it is much painful than lose in trading.

Two ways will give you a small profit. But if during day trading you risk to stay with nothing, then ICO has a greater percentage of winnings. There are also tokens at the presale level and there is a risk that with the bear market their price will drop and no one will give guarantees from scammers. But as for me it is better Ico.

in the current falling market, I think it's better to take a break in investing in ICO. Daytrading, taking into account the movement of bitcoin, is more determined for obtaining a profit

ICO away promising than in trade monthly. but of course, the big results require great risks as well as many of the many scam ICO trap about it. therefore be careful in ICO in order to keep a big profit.

I prefer trading because i can work at any time and depend entirely on myself rather than on other people. That's cool!      

I personally suggest that never do day trading instead ICO is better than in day trading. But, If you are interested in the day trading then take very minimal of profit by excluding your fees for the trade.

It highly depends on the market. If you would ask about that in 2015 most people would tell you that trading is more profitable. In 2017 the answer would be ICOs. But in 2018 we will see. We wait for a lot more regulation in the cryptomarket and a lot of good stong project will cancel thier ICOs and it will be much harder to earn from that regularly. I'd say that trading is more stable if you professional but as partial income ICOs is good thing. But be carefull 95%+ ICO will fail. Do your homework carefully before invest.

I think if you very good at trading it's more profitable, but why not do both

in my opinion day trading is better than ICOs because ico can be fake and you will lose all your money. in day trading you can lose but not all your money. in this reason i do not join ICOs.

definetly agree with u bro, i'm also a trader and don't like to invest in ico because it's risky
i just join bounty to follow a news from coins. then i'll buy after a coin's entered the market.

For me it’s easier to watch the fluctuation of coins instead of studying the white paper..because of shortage of relevant knowledge. To judge whether the project is exaggerated or unexecutable is kinda difficult for me. I prefer reading the tape and news and trading frequently.

I'll tell you my opinion as a day trading and investing in the ICO will bring you losses rather than profit.

both have their own deficiencies and advantages. with the trading you can get profit every time you do trading but not a few people who suffer losses,
not much different from ICO you may get big advantage of new coins without having to have strategy but many ICO that lead to fraud

Day trading is most preferable today cause you are the one making it to grow and play it in the market.  Participating ICOs today seems to be in high risk and not really sure if you've got profit in the end cause mostly coins prices may dump when it launch in the market which is having a huge difference from ICO price.

It's much safer to do trading if we don't want to do the hassle of researching and putting effort to analyze the ICO concerns, its legibility, and ideas, but if the ICO have more benefits to the investor, I think being an investor is a good sign too. It depends on what was comfortable at. There is much assurance tho if we see it already in exchanges.

I think it really depends on your confortability, because if you do daytrading of course you really need some time in a day to focus on day trading. While in ICO’s there is less monitoring but the risky part is much higher compared to doing trading.

Day trading is very high stressfull and you can earn good money but you can lose big money easily, so I'm long term investor and sometimes if there is good ico, I participate to ico also.

Just dont daytrade bc commisions are too high. Also stress as mentioned. And when to DYOR? meh

I think there both good but the one who give you a high profit in just a small peroid of time is the new ICO and you can earn more than 10x in your investments in just a few months. In trading as will but compare to new ico tokens trading is more secure and the tokens already in exchanger so you have a guarantee already that you can sell your tokens anytime.

My personal preference is hunting for the best ICOs than day trading. While trading you need to be constantly glued to the monitor watching the price fluctuation, developing your strategy, setting aims and putting stop losses. That exhausts you a lot and if you don't keep your head clean - you are prone to mistakes. ICO are tough too, but at least you have some variety of projects and you can evaluate your risks somehow based on your personal research.

I dont like day trading because it is more risky than long term trading in day trading you may lose your money or it will stock at a low price if you choose a wrong coin to do day trading i prefer in long term only. We all know that ICO also a bet risky and there is a big chance that you may lose all your money in one coin the only thing you have to do is check the back ground of there team and take that risk.

Day trading and ICO are two different business in crypto market but basics is profit earning which will be more in ICO than day trading. ICO's gove maximum returns for your investment provided you choose a potential and legit project, not all the ICO's are successful. In day trading you earn profit based on the existing crypto and you may have bunch of charts and analysis to verify before investing which is more safe for an investor compared to ICO.

It is a popular investment in the market today. iCOs is a long-term investment plan, to achieve a substantial profit with ico, you need token holdings for at least 6 months. Because then, they have built marketing campaigns and found partners to promote the image and brand as well as token gadgets >>> increased popularity. day trading really takes a lot of time. Data and fluctuations can always make a profit or a loss at any time. Assertiveness and good speculation are essential for day trading.

yup, that is correct, day trading is a very profitable job just for short term profit but it takes more times and more stressful than investing ICOs, if you still want to have profit from Trading, you will have to work full time with cryptos, in contrast, anyone still want to have profit from long time will be very suitable for holding long term.

Now there is a very large number of ICO and it is difficult to make the right choice. As for me, the most reliable way is to invest in the right cryptocurrency and hold it.

In this situation, it all depends on your skills and experience, if you know how to distinguish good projects from bad ones, then why not invest in ICO?

I choose day trading over ico crowdfundings because day trading gives me option to cash out  my initial investment directly. But icos don't give you that option, they need to enter in market. You are gonna have hard time holding.

For me I am much preferable also of day trading rather than ICO investment, because in day trading what we really need is to carefully watch the market which potential coins to buy in a dip price and sell it when the price going high by 10%-20% higher than the price that we bought it. We can get easily our profit in a short time of investment, while in ICO maybe we can buy dump price of coins during public selling but still have the risk because we really not sure if it's price will rise during market launching. But it depends the market situation as well.

Strategy of investing in ICOs is much more profitable during Bullish Trend. Now, most of coins/tokens right after ICO cost x1.5-x2 lower than ICO price.

Problem with ICO's is getting on an exchange. It can be a lengthy, highly expensive process and that's if they even reply to you. If your ICO's project doesn't shake hands with the right people they might have a very hard time getting listed anywhere.

Everyone is welcome to apply for listing on the Nebula but for every coin we accept 4 fail our evaluation process. Markets getting a wee bit saturated...

day trading and ico's are both hard and risky but if i were to choose one id say id go with ico's because ico's are sometimes free in the form of joining a bounty or an airdrop

 while day trading or trading for short is a bit hard and requires skills , knowledge , dedication , patience , etc. You need to posses almost all the good traits in order to achieve success when doing trades.

Trading isnt also free because itll need a starting capital in order to get started.

for me it is better to invest in ICOs, but you need to study and learn more about the ICO you will investing if it is worth it to invest in, this is more less hassle and stressful rather than doing day trading.

I think ICO and day trading are the same, you can earn a lot or lose everything. Both of them need different skills thought so if you are good at doing research online then ICO is better for you while day trading requires TA skill.

ICO market isn't a thing that can generate profit on daily basis so..

Right now, daytrading can be more profitable than ico. But the situation at any time can dramatically change.

When you get a nice ICO. You can earn 5 to 10 times. But it is more risky in daily trading.

I think that when the ICO market is down, you can not help thinking about day trading. As far as I know, even Balina was looking for someone who would help him master trading. Maybe it was just an emotion.

Day trading and ICO is two different things,

Day Trading - You trade with an existing coin, you buy a coin and wait for the profit or price rise and sell it. There is risk involved if coin price not raised and if it goes beyound your purchase amount.

ICO - You buy a coin which is not yet launched in the market and exchange. If the coin project is successful then you can get profit if the price goes up. Risk is in two ways, one is investing in a coin which is not yet launched. Two, coin price goes down than your your investment or bought price.

Possibilities with day trading are endless but you have to take into the account that most day traders go broke. Ask yourself if you have enough experience in this space.

They are probably right when they tell you that ICO is less monitored than Day trading. I noticed that you are highly favored by day trade and not ICO, but if you have a full time job or even a two like what you have said then day trade is not suitable to you. You just dont leave your job for that, you need it the most.

Do you guys prefer to buy ICO's during a bull or bear market?

Day trading in my own view is very risky especially if you are newbie. I will instead go to ICO, some waiting yes, but if you are studying the potential of each ICO you joined there maybe you can get a bag of gold in return when the campaign is ended. Many people are venturing into ICO and what I have heard most of them who invested have their money returned double or some even at 1000x when they HODL it and the potential to gain more is bigger.
 

Former investors do not want to invest in ICOs. Günlük are trading. But good and reliable ICOs earn more.

Day trading is preferable to icos to me especially if you did not know how to detect between good projects and bad one. If you study the charts of some coins that are currently in the market you will understand with me that many of them were performing some months ago and some of them are now down,  this is what day traders take advantage of to make profit. Those that bought iost some weeks ago should be able to make good profits if the sell today and rebuying  when prices make corrections.

ICOs now will give no good profit in such markets . risk vs return factor in ICOs is not equal now .
better to do day trading only bcoz if market goes down you will be still in profit .
if you dont have much time then do swing trading .

while i agree with you chosing trading over icos .
but you said people dont know how to detect good or bad ico .
then in day trading too , you will not earn profit with just some buy n sell clicks .
you need some experience and a lot of knowledge to read chart .
otherwise rather than earning few bucks you may end with big loss .

It seems to me that each of us should be able to invest and trade. This will bring us the maximum profit. But we must constantly improve and study crypto. This is very hard work.

we studied crypto science in order to work and earn enough profit
it must be with investment and also smart trading, can say that this work is very difficult if we are not serious in studying more crypto science
if we are serious in this work will be easy to learn and can quickly get a big profit

about option 1 , yes of course , u must know about all of what you want to trade.
need more time , group too for important info,
lucky me still college more free time.

about icos , most of ico promising about x 2 or more .
so for me , if u working , better try joining icos.
not soo far to knew good ico for now.

Day trading with the ICO is very difficult to make a profit. Since the market is currently down, no growth. I think you will not be able to make a profit in your day-to-day investment. The Crypto market is suitable for long-term investors, and holding them long will be beneficial later on.

Daily trading can be profitable but requires a lot of time..It's also very boring and annoying to me..Icos is more attractive for me.

100% ICO investing wins here, daily trading is just a casino for the most of people.

It is not different may be. I think ICO and day trading are the same, you can earn a lot or lose everything. Both of them need different skills thought so if you are good at doing research online then ICO is better for you while day trading requires TA skill.

Day trading is a way to quickly earn and leave. The concept of Ico is somewhat different and based on the patient's expectation of an increase in the price of tokens. In terms of time, Ico is better, and the risk is almost the same everywhere.

Did you miss out on the beginnings of Bitcoin?  Marinecoín is creating a similar ico model for maximizing the future profit potential of their new coin, .MTC..  They are using artificial intelligence to set up a self sustaining cryptocurrency.  The blockchain design incorporates a fair distribution system which is DEV-less and without miners.  They have chosen to distribute their coins in 20,000 .MTC. chunks for posting a message like this one.  Talk about easy.  Time is the great equalizer in their model.  There is a 24 hour time limit for each 20,000 .MTC. collected.  This ensures everyone has a fair shot at accumulating many of these.  Artificial intelligence providing -value-

It depends, because day trading is more risky than ico projects but can faster give you profit.

ICO's projects could be better but it is very hard to find good project

ICOs need to be investigated a lot. The winner is very big, but it keeps waiting. It's easier to trade every day and get instant earnings.

I don't agree with the OP that ICOs require less monitoring.
The information in the charts (day trading) is in front of everyones eyes.
ICO research requires much more deeper research and various skill sets.
While in day trading, you just load a few indicators and you are ready to go.

For experience people, day trade is not that difficult mate because with experience we can learn our mistake.
Day trade is also can be good income source but never calculate everything by daily. Though we do day trade but we can calculate it by monthly.

if you have enough time to predict the markets by watching a charts everyday, its okay to become a day trading in cryptocurrency
but, if you don't have enoough time, just buy a crypto for long term
about ICO, you need to know everything about the project before investing, because invest in ICO is risky, except, you can choose the right one

Same as previous commentators, i think its good to do both. And investitions in prospective projects and daily trading. What about risks, i think they always will exist, even if you will keep money under your bed.

Invest and day trading is good choice to do that. invest and trading is the opportunity to get a lot of profit
in the crypto world.

Here most of people are either favoring for Day trading or ICOs but I believe before analyzing anything you should analyze your knowledge and think in which sector you can perform better. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and its totally everyone's personal experience. Some might make more money in Day trading and some in ICO. If you have the ability to find a gem out of trash then you can go with ICO but if you can't I can suggest day trading but that is also very difficult and hard to manage instead you can go for long term hold which have more possibility of providing you better returns. 

Both are very risky because Investing in ICO we don't know how the team will take the project and with day trading there is risk involved because you need to react to the market on right time otherwise, you will end up in loos. In my experience we have to manage them correctly in order to be safe otherwise, both of them are very risky for investment.

While ICOs can supposedly net you more profit with less effort, the risk is also exponentially higher. The thing is, trading itself is already risky, add ICO investing to that and you've got the perfect strategy for making your money 0.00.

Be ready to accept that you have lost everything you invested if you ask me.

good daily trading or investing in the ICO has the same risk. lucky if trade but long term can minimize the risk. but the ICO is very prone to be a scam and this is now much vigilance and more investors.

I would prefer by investing in ICO with less effort unlike daily trading that you need to monitor it by time to time. Investing makes you a good profit but giving you a heart attack when dumping on their first exchange listing. Day trading also gives you a good profit but you have to be patient same as investing.

In my opinion, why will you go at the risk when day trading is surely? I believe that investing in ICO is much profitable specially, if you find a good ICO with promising project and team. But, why will you lend your capital if day trading if profitable also. In picking a wise investment, I will always put my money in a thing that I know I can gain and I know there is a little amount of risk that I will put on.
