Will holiday season affect ICOs??

[ev3nout]

Founders - would love to hear your thought on your launch strategy.

Experts - would love to hear what you think about investing during the holiday seasons.

There seems to be less and less ICO come holiday season - also seems like there's going to be an explosion after the new year.

Seems like a steal to invest during that time if nobody else is - depending on how good the ICO concept is of course.

I don't think the holiday season will affect the ICO's, work is work and money is money. There are no in betweens if you want to make your project successful and investors would think the developers are really working hard for the project to be a success.

Thanks @mmysterious. That's great to hear from a founder.

What about potential investors? Do you save up the cash to give to love ones or invest in ICOs that can go...boom! I guess this is more of an ethical question.

The holiday season should have little impact on the quantity and quality of the planned and conducted ICO. It's a certain job, bringing a significant profit for her team. In addition, ICO are planned and conducted for a long time, which covers the years. Therefore, it is unlikely that such planning provides for the departure of her team's leave to the detriment of the ICO.

The trend my friend is that there is a happy growth in altcoin and bitcoin during December and in the transition period in general. Crypto will probably fly late part of the previous year and then early part of the following year. I think the aura during holiday season is essentially good. And then money is flowing so I think investment will also rise. That's the season of cheers and congratulations for me.

During holiday season, there are many bonuses and if you can track the price of bitcoin and altcoin in the previous year, it is during holiday season that prices rise so maybe it has an impact on the ICOs. People would have extra money giving them the opportunity to spend money on investment and ICOs have been booming this year so maybe on the coming holidays, many ICOs would be successful.

I've never thought about this too much but it seems the holidays are a slightly more risky time to launch. The holidays are a time suck and without doing proper research investing is a bad idea. But it is the time of giving so who knows...

[thepo1m]

Yes, it is going to have effect on them and even the prices of tokens in the market, most people will need money for this period and we all know this time you only spend and make little back on holidays

The holiday season is the most opportunity for the people to have money to purchase and to invest so i say this will be favorable to all ICO's to launch on this date with promos and discount to attract investors and businessmen. Lets just wait and see as the holiday season is coming in which we will have the opportunity to see for ourselves but i strongly believed ICO will be more prosper during these days.

Go look at historic chart of btc/crypto prices and volumes. You will see what is coming
Some things might change but human behavior during holidays does not.

Holiday season is a big effect to the ICO's, why?

Because most of the people on that season are quite elegant and they've got more money coming from their day job bonuses, 13th month to be specific.

And for generous companies they are rewarding their hardworking employees and if that employee is in bitcoin or alt coin trading, he'll invest that bonus.

Honestly...I don't know what to make of it because this year is quite historically unconventional. Ethereum itself is nearly 300x from where it was last year in addition to the many ICOs in play.

I agree with the other responses though, we'll just have to wait and see...we are in a completely new world now.

Did you ever take a look at daily trading volumes for Bitcoin? Notice how there has been no break? Unlike forex or any other market there simply is no holiday for Bitcoin. In fact, some of the biggest price moves takes place on Sunday. Even last Christmas we saw good price movement (within small range) even if the volume saw also a small drop off.

ICO wise, a lot of holiday offers and bonuses. But watch out, also scams!

Just did some digging as suggested.

Definitely see a trend.

Trading dips at the beginning of November (1-7), then it climbs up again - by a lot!

Thanks again for all the feedback ladies/gents

People ask for bitcoins as a christmas present or people spend christmas gift on cryptocurrency. Both are a good scenario

Hmm looks like an interesting trend. Might be worth putting some money on

No fix answer on this kind of question since people do have different minds.Some are risk takers some are safe players on which decisions would really depend on a certain person. Holiday season doesnt exist on this ICO world and for sure those dev or owners wont really have the vacation day regarding on their crowfunding since we are talking about money on here.

[aceptamosbitcoin]

Yes, holiday season will affect ICOs.

The whole crypto-currencies volume is down during the holidays, not only ICOs.
Time to avoid having crowdsale - Mid November till the End of January. Because people will save their money for Black Friday and Christmas and January is worst month of the year from financing point. Wait for the Feb salaries.

Well that's right that there's no significant reasons for the ICO to be affected with any holiday seasons to come. This was due to people nowadays were more pursuant to their specific work at online jobs like this. They take more time as precious and don't care whatever day is that, but the most important thing is money to provide a lot of finances for them.

[nightwishx]

it depends on the plan they have set up in a treaty or something. because they work as a team, I think they will also decide whether they will take a vacation or not. if they decide on holiday, of course it will be influential because they leave their ICO busy to go on holiday.
