Someone should enlighten me, what launch are we talking about here? And everybody is talking about the price of lisk aftrr launch?
I thought lisk is on the market now? I checked on yobit and lisk is listed there, with a price now with 0.005 btc if i remember.
Lisk mainnet launches on May 24th. The Yobit Lisks, as well as Lisks on other exchanges, are IOUs that will be redeemed once real Lisk is distributed with the launch of the mainnet.
I see. Thank you very much! Sounds like good to me. Would you recommend to buy this lisk on the exchange sites like yobit? or just wait for the launch date on May 24th? . Feel so sad that i missed to join in the ICO.
I sympathize; I saw the Ethereum ICO & didn't send in a satoshi. In retrospect, my reason was laughable: it got some much BTC, I thought it would tank like Ripple.

As for buying some now, it depends upon how much risk you want to shoulder. If you're cautious, best to wait until it launches & wait for the new-listing chaos to die down. But of course, the risk is that you'll pay a significantly higher price than today's.
Yobit's the bigger market, and has the higher price, but the vibe 'round here is that they'll likely redeem their ICOs with real Lisk. Bloombit's repute is iffier, which is why its ICO-Lisk is selling for much lower. Also, the Bloombit folks bought a lot more Lisk than the Yobit folks, so the supply of Bloombit IOU-LIsk is larger than Yobit's.
You could try asking if any Lisker here will sell some OTC at a better price than Bloombit's market, but of course that carries a counterparty risk too. But if you can shoulder that risk, an OTC buy would be your best bet.
