Buy new altcoins in ICO stage = profit?

[PhucS]

There are profits when buying new altcoins in the ICO period, I think this is not entirely true. This depends on the ICO project you invest in, the value of the altcoin when on the market. If the ICO succeeds well, the altcoin price is high then you will be profitable but if the value of altcoin is not as expected it will drop in price then you will lose. There are also a few ICO that are scams, if you do not find out about it you will run into quite big risks.

Not only that but even when they are getting listed the Bonus ICO investors and bounty hunters will start to sell immediately when the coin get listed and so the price goes below ICO and if you really wanted to buy then you can get that time in low rate. So it is not profitable to invest in ICO.

my theory is don't buy altcoins in ico stage.becouse There are also a few ICO that are scams.if you are still interested in an ICO then do some serious
 research about the project.
but when altcoin come in market  then you will freely buy coins.I think its better.

you will need to find a project that looks promising and that has a low hardcap or is underhyped then you will be able to take good profits.

You have to do your own research because not all ICOs will give you profit, there are many ICOs have dumped after listing on exchanges, like SONM, and Pillar, they might recover their prices and might not.

Everyone would be rich if they could multiply there money by investing in ICO's and selling when the tokens hit exchanges. I am afraid this is not how it works. Be very careful about the ICO's. Most are scams, if not all. Look ath the ICO price of SONM and look at what price it is trading at. Do your research before buying into any ICO.

Something important that i don't think anyone mentioned yet: Don't invest into ICOs who don't show a working product during the token sale! If they're really serious about their project and have a competent team striving for success, they're gonna have something to show to their possible investors. If they don't, back away and put your money somewhere safer and better. You gotta be smart in this extremely volatile system we're operating in.

Basically is this how its done to receive a profit on Cryptocurrency?

or just invest when research and news is done.

Thank you

It is not always like that. In my opinion, it is riskier entering ICO's than when it is already in the market though the profit could be much larger if the ICO pans out. There is always the risk that the ICO is a scam,  the project will not push through or the devs dumping on you when it hits the market leaving you the bag holder.

There are some ico that do not have the clarity of projects such as cooperation, team and advisor, and even without a clear road map, but if it is prohibited must have been blocked by the moderators of this forum, but the fact is not.

It is difficult to predict which is more advantageous in buying tokens in every ico as it can only be seen after appearing in the trading market, in which case I predict in advance of supply total coin and allocation for bounty and investor first.

recently, yes pretty much OP lol.
before you would get 1 pnd or maybe 2 pnd on a shit coin then it died.
at least with somewhat legit projects (again, many have way long to go re. releases)...at least MOST seem to have been going up nicely since ICO.
i don't see any reason most ppl haven't at least sold off bits to make their original investment back....then hold the rest for moon (i did that with ICN)

That is one thing you could do, if you believe a project is worth your time and effort then you could invest in the ICO of the project and then wait until the project is completed, if you do that then the coins is going to raise in price naturally and at some point investors are going to go crazy over the coin and the price will rise very high, then you sell your coins and enjoy your profits, but it is easier said than done.

I have followed ICO of creamcoin. I have not had money to buy 0.100 btc token coins so i went through the twitter campaign and earned 13 mbtc .... i was surprised, they paid me in creamcoins and i sold it for btc .... they are trying today to enter exchanges, but nova is dirty and bittrex is reluctant .... my advice is, if you have good team avoid exchanges .... make own-styled exchange or ledger or something similar .... i will do soon an IGO for our universal game join me any time: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1849667.0

It depends on the ICO you invest in. Sometimes you can buy a coin at a lower price in markets. Note that it's not general an sometimes you can buy coins in ICOs and a make a good profit due to get some bonuses as reward. Anyway you should check out projects before investing and decide.

Yeah man.. . It is depends on what ICO you are investing it.. . In markets,  you can buy a coin if it is at a lower price or value.  Always know first what kind of project you are going in then decide.

Investing in ico is not necessarily profitable. If you want to invest in ico, you must understand clearly the project.
Starting from idea, concept, team (track record and work experience) and all details of the project.
If you are not careful it may be you will get the wrong project or scam.

in ICO, we need to read the whole thing related with project so we know what exactly they want to do and we can decided their project is good or not for us to join. every ICO actually have a great chance to be success but its depend with the dev and the team, if they are give full support for the coin then the coin will be reach the goals and will have a good position in the list of market. but for me, i think i will choose to trading in market because there is big chance for us to make a big profit but we need to analyze to choose the coin.

You have to do research to find out if the coins worth invest in many people has lose a lot of fortune by investing in fake ICO and scamming digital currencies. You can easily profit from altcoins in an exchangers platform it is more reliable there than buying ICO as those altcoins can easily be converted to bitcoin or fiat currencies.

It is important that if you are going to invest in an ICO you do it because of the merits of the ICO, if you are speculating then you could get the coin for a lower price if it is dumped after it enter the exchanges but if the opposite happen and the coin skyrockets then you will never get the chance of getting cheap tokens, so it s better to think your strategy carefully when it comes to investing in ICOs.

True , NOt all ICO will give a good return of your Capital and Profit after listing in a exchange . Only few ICO's are having a good demand after being listed and if the team supports it in exchange. Pillar and SONM, i think they will recover and i wait it maybe we can see its good price after a week this August.

[Pejoh Asu]

I think this can not be all true, because according to previous experience there are some unprofitable ICO even when there is an exchaner in the price drop. We must be good at choosing a good ICO to be profitable.

[tiggytomb]

Not every ICO will generate profit or at least not in the short term, you might be lucky with an ICO but you can also buy existing altcoins and make similar if not more profit.
