Also the amount you receive at the end of the ICO ALWAYS equals exactly the same amount of money (in $) you have put into the ICO at the beginning.
I'm getting a bit fed up of this constantly repeated trope.
Of course your BTC share inside the ICO remains the same, because there is no opportunity to sell it. The number of coins you get for your BTC, however, will continue to fall as long as others join in the ICO.
As soon as the coin hits the exchanges, the number of coins that you own becomes crucial, so stop trying to imply that it has no relevance.The first part is very clear to you and me. But not to the new members joining this thread. Therefore I always have to repeat some things. In the last days I told hundred of people the same thing over and over again. This is very normal. Regarding the part I
underlined in the quote:
It can be that my thought is wrong here! But I see it as this:The number of coins you hold is not crucial, it doesn't matter.
Let's make an example(!) comparison:Case 1:We collect 100 BTC in the ICO, that means our initial market cap is 100 BTC:
- User A who exchanged 1 BTC receives 1,000,000 coins.
Case 2:We collect 1,000 BTC in the ICO, that means our initial market cap is 1,000 BTC.
- User A who exchanged 1 BTC receives 100,000 coins.
Now our market cap rises, let's say times 2. In both cases User A will have coins, which are worth 2 BTC. Exactly the same.
NOW! If you say that a coin with a small market cap can rise more and faster. Then this may be the case for a pump and dump within the first few weeks. But long term this is absolutely nonsense! Here all what matters are the management skils of the C-level executives.
Take a look at Nxt, which started with a small market cap. It's now bleeding out because there is no capital and no management. Take a look at Factom or Ethereum, which started with a big market cap. They are doing great!
