Buy new altcoins in ICO stage = profit?

[ubercool]

There are some good ICO's going on right now and if the venture has got already its usage then it will be a success as there will be practical real users who will use that currency when the coin will be released. You need to see how the community is responding to the new coin and check its usages in the real world.

I think buying coins at the time of ICO is very difficult to predict, whether this ICO will work or not. But if you are a businessman / trader, of course the loss is absolute and not to be feared. If ICO succeeds and when entering the market it exceeds the price of ICO, that is your advantage. But if after entering the market the price drops, save and wait until it rises back or sell with losses. If ICO fails to meet the target but your funds are returned, it's still safe. But if ICO is unsuccessful but funds are not refunded on the grounds of being hacked or other reasons. That's the risk of a trader

there is no guarantee for us when we buy new altcoin in ICO stage, we can make big profit. because a good ICO will be supports by the dev and the team and after ICO is end, they will still work for the coins. they will work hard to make sure that their coins is always grow from time to time and they need to give the best work they can. if everything is good, then we can see the coins will be survive in the market and the coins will have huge fans. but its hard to find what is the coins that will be survive after ICO is end so we need to be careful to choose the ICO.

Buy only an ICO if the coin's business model is good and the people behind the coin project are good.
Based from my experience the price of ICO is higher than the price of coin compare to its price when they entered in exchanges.
So sometimes its better to buy on exchanges where you can buy the coin on much cheaper price than ICO.

I remember that some that some "study" was conducted here by some members. The result were if you invested the same amount in all the major ICOs since the beginning of the year, you would be at a profit. And that would be even bigger if you selected only the good ones.

Yeah, I recall something similar: random 10 picks, even if  8 dies, 2 that make >5x profit more than covers everything. Of course, who has enough to make 10 picks. I don't even have 1 BTC and with majority ICOs in ETH, I hesitate to change BTC to ETH.

I don't think there is any kind of restriction on the minimum investment, as long as it is realistic (so not 5000 satoshis). For this reason, instead of 1BTC you could put 0,1BTC, or even 0,05BTC per ICO. Or even less if you do not have this.

ICO as a business is booming at the moment and it got very hard to decide what is real as they all sound so fantastic but hardy a select few will ever evolve to anything more than a ICO and a speculative currency that fades quicker than it started.
Me personally have made profit out of many a  scam ICO as they tend to spin the best stories and get people on exchange. The new ICO's that happens off exchange well thats not for me. Coinpot faucets ive seen a few awesome sounding ICO's that wont get my investments lol

[SvenBomvolen]

No, not necessarily you get a profit, even that you get is a loss, because all the coins at the time of entering the market the price is very destroyed, you better invest when the coin already in the market

That's right. Only 2-3% of ICO project's have a future, so, chances to loose is very high. Better to chose altcoin's that already known, like ETH and LTC to feel more safe.
I think all this ICO projects just destroy the market and crypto-currencies, too many fake and unsuccessful projects.

[Nahl]

normally all of ICO project offering successfully project too but indeed if they're listed on the market sometimes the particulars altcoins could be experience lack of interest and eventually those altcoins became an dust coin and delisted from the major exchange but not all ICO program has bad future because if you able to choose the exact altcoin i think long term profit would be yours and the research should be required before investing an ICO

This answers all my question

It's like playing the lottery with better odds at winning.

[Insanerman]

Yes, quite risky but when the ICO's are successful, it s a sure way that you have profit. Also, especially when you bought with discount, you will really gain from ICO's. There are legit ICO's and promising, be vigilant to spot the good one. Do some research before you invest.

[margrettco62]

i think this is ture if you invest to a good altcoin and if it is a bad coin then fail

[FrankNoland]

I think investing in ICOs is quite profitable though there is always risk involved. Although its risky, but its better than buying coin from exchange since they are expensive and  the value might fall in a month or two. SO the best thing to do, and that is what i usually do, is investing in ICOs, Buying it less and selling when the price is up. If you do this you will def. make more profit.

It is not always necessary that you will get profit by investing in an ICO. The reason is that when the coin listed on exchange may be it will not hold its position and destabilization in price occur so it is wise to invest in the coins which are already listed on exchange. And if you are still interested in an ICO then do some brief research about the project and its scope of success. Beware of Scam ICOs.

[hubballi]

99% of the ICO investment is not profitable as when they hit the exchange the bounty coin holders just dump it and you can get the coin below then the ICO price without waiting and when the price increase you can sell and get profit immediately. But in ICO you have to invest and then wait for ICO to finish and then when they deliver the coin till then you have to wait and after that also some coin take time to get listed in exchange. So it is very clear that investing in ICO is not profitable.

[fancy2973]

quite the opposite, just look how many ICOs are started by newbies/jr members, that you know almost all of them are scams. you are more likely to lose money there.

You need to see how the community is responding to the new coin and check its usages in the real world.

That is right, without strong community and continuous development, the new altcoins in the ICO stage will turn out to be lower price, which decided by the market. So, do some deep research and choose to hold a long time to see what will happen.

Right, investing in ICOs is a good idea, it easily gives us huge profit margins, we just wait for a very short time. However, do not confuse when you choose ICO, it can kill you.

Talk about investing, we often think of big projects, where we can make a profit. When a project is appreciated, people will pay more attention to investing in it, so the demand of the market will increase, which will increase the value of the currency, creating About the profit margin when the ICO end.
