Buy new altcoins in ICO stage = profit?

[sweerty1]

I think only ICOs with great ideas mean profit, not all makes money to token holders. But I really love current stage, lots of devs bring whole new ideas into crypto.

Every ICO will not give your profit because it will take some time to get profit. After completion of ICO when they listed in the exchange many people start dumping at a higher price. So we have to check whether the coin is profitable or not because many ICO is failing to make money after completion of ICO.

I think that too. But it shouldn't be a random ERC20 token, there are too much right now. It should really be something totally new!

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

or just invest when research and news is done.

Thank you

Not necessarily, bro. Buy new altcoins in ICO stage = profit is not the thing here all the time. Although the are occasions that it will happen. You are right that investment should only come after research and news is done. If the project is really good then ICO investment=profit.

investing in any ico is just like gambling.. not every ico gives you profit you may end up getting some losses.. there are allot of scam coins be alert

I think most ICO in recently are have small profit in first time after listed to exchange, but this time very short and investor need update information this ICO everytime for sell token before it dump to lowest price, depending this ICOs good or bad, the time this token drop down will 1-2 days or 1-2 hours after listed.

Just watch the long list of ICO here https://www.coingecko.com/ico
There is now an ICO for everything anything, is it nuts that money is flowing to all these? ICO used to be special...

I bought Pillar and it ended up in the top 100 list on Crypto Market Cap within a month. So it's not a scam - BUT, they have yet to release their "wallet" so who knows. You just need to be smart and choose a project that has a lot of known people behind it. The team is highly important. I also invested in Presearch because someone on CNBC mentioned it who runs a large Hedge Fund. He also said Game Credits were a good investment. So you need to read the news constantly and use your gut.

I feel like lately with these icos, the coins end up being cheaper that the ico price once they hit the market. So why bother investing in an ico when you can just wait and get a better price on the exchanges?

basically it is stupid idea and kids doing it right now, the big investor is searching a good project to put money on it, so they will put it not in hurry, but if they offered a bonus for early investing and they trust the projevt, they will invest in early phase, it will give them more profit,

what i try to say here is : dont think you can get any gain if you only do an early buying in ico, at first you need to research where you will put your money

[cryptor47]

What do you all think about this one - https://equiplatform.io/ ?
I found it by coincidence and nobody is talking about it.
But the idea seems good to me, I can see an user case here.
Seems like a steemit/quora hybrid where you can earn $ when contributing useful info to those requesting it. Not to mention the other part, the business part that looks like a dashbord/all-the-tools-you-need when starting a firm or a startup.

This is the type of thinking that actually crashed the market, at least partially. Coins like STATUS, BAT, Bancor, etc. Prettty much screwed people over - I myself "lost" a lot of value When the coins I got went down in value a lot.
Its simply not a gaurantee

Correct many altcoins go down in price after the ICO, so for many investors it would have been better to buy after the ICO, but I think this is a consequence of the crazy bonuses ICOs are giving for early investment, someone can buy tokens for a price and receive and extra percentage then he immediately sells for the ICO price to someone else and he earns that percentage as profit.

Big mistakes but ICOs love them because they attract big whales in the beginning:
1. Bonuses. Maybe one small early bonus is ok. 5%? 10%? But 50% is too stupid.
2. Bounties. I have seen 10% of token for bounty. What? They should set aside BTC for bounty and that's it. Don't be cheap and give tokens. You KNOW these will be dumped.

But anyway, people won't be smart. They always make the same mistake.

Your point number 1 is my biggest issue, I have seen in the last weeks more and more ICOs that are giving bonuses that are too high as an example if you buy 1 BTC worth tokens and you received a bonus of 25% then in theory you have 1.25 BTC worth in tokens if you sell at ICO price as soon as you can then you get 1.25 BTC with a 25% profit and this is why the price of those coins dumps.

how to choose any coin from the ico and invest? I think its very tough to do so

It has been proven by some study that if you invest the same amount in all the big campaigns you end up with a profit. So yes, it means profit.

[ewonardo]

Buying new altcoin at ICO stage doesn't always giving profit, I've experienced a loss after buying an ICO altcoin. There are still many ways to make benefit from cryptocurrency, such as existing altcoin trading, by doing research scrupulous. We can make profit for longterm.

not all,
  I think it depends on our luck, sometimes a lot of ICO which has a low price after marketing. Do I think buy altcoin at ICO = ? ..

[xaxistech]

It depends on which ICO do you want to invest, in most of cases they all are scammy-projects that makeup their whitepaper and thread to make it look credible, i have not invested in any Ico yet, because it seems to riskie to me and i dont wanna take so much risk, i prefer holding coins or trading, it is a long process but you only will lose if the coin get dumped.
By the way, i recommend you to take a look at the ICO on my signature, they are working hard and i as you can see they have a signature campaing, so that means that those guys really wanna have success with this coin.

ICO are bullshit why do you even wanna buy those useless tokens ico simply raise funds for their own use and it clear that they are free from all types of taxes and free from any regulations. The ether platform simply allows them to create endless ecr20 tokens increasing more spam in the crypto community. About profit i have seen few ICO prices they sold for high prices on first few days but after a week it was all low

You can't generalize this saying all of the ICO are garbage. Some of them are very functional and that's why they raise millions of dollars in the fund raiser, besides hyped/overrated ones. Let's take a look at Civic and Storj ICO.

A majority of the time you wont profit it instantly when the ICO becomes transferable, you should be looking at the long term possibilities which can give a much more impressive rates of return.

That's starting to become more and more true, but ICOs in 2016 were pretty much all up 3X+ immediately following.
