they are freely psychologically and culturally related determined,

there is no one single rule,

if you need to determine a starting or issuance price for a cryptocurrency you should relate it towards what is your target group happy with

but it doesnt really even matter weather you give them something they are customed with,

you better just chose in a way, how it fits the coin in the starting phase for marketing purposes, this is most significant,

but in the end it doesnt matter, cause they are just numbers, relative changes are important and utility

regards

I thought the starting price point was determined for a coin at least by how much cost it takes for the miners and they sell it on the open market around that price. Not sure how the price is figured for a token, perhaps the market purely determines this?

Ok I see. Thanks for your replies. So finally there is not difference if the price started high or low ?
I thought there are few parameters to define the price as investment, ICO or (IPO), who is behind the projects, etc ...

Thanks

The laws of supply and demand apply to ICOs as much as they apply to IPOs in traditional equities markets.

In an IPO, if you price your IPO too high, it will be undersubscribed and will find little traction in the market. OTOH, pricing it too low will lead to it being oversubscribed and also lead to the issuers earning less than they should as they could have earned more by pricing it higher.

For ICOs, the ICO team will peg a value to the coin and give their reasons behind it. Once it goes to the market, Mr Market will decide if the price is right.  Smiley

Most of the time, the price of the ICO is the starting price of the token, but at some good exchanges, the price will double. That's what we call the initial price.

Starting price supposed to be the minimum of BTC value invested.
So if you invested 1 btc with the rates...lets say 1 btc = 1000 tokens,then 1 token supposed to cost 0.001 btc.

But lately that doesnt happen and ppl end up in conclusion that just holding BTC is more profitable + you can buy
these coin when their price (while waiting for devs to show some results) will go down.

The following features are the main driver of cryptocurrency price, but not limited to these.

  • Limited Supply and supply/demand.
  • Energy put in in the form of electricity to secure the blockchain.
  • Blockchain difficulty level.
  • The utility of the currency, and how easy it is to use and store.
  • Perceptions on its value by the public.
  • Price of Bitcoin.
  • Media.
  • Investors.
  • Scams.
  • Market dilution.
  • Innovation.
  • Confidence in traditional systems.
  • Legal/Governmental issues.

You could determine the starting price by the amount of money you put into your cryptocurrency. first you need to control the supply like I did with my activity tokens, I distributed 400K to the community and for the community and kept 20.6M out of 21M total supply for myself, if I had $1M dollars, I could've pumped it and be a rich virgin no more, because I could've bought my dream house and jumped dozens of colorful girls.

Very interesting and thanks for your replies.

And finally what's the difference if the starting price is high or low ?
For example : Ethereum : 2.37€ and Golem (0,012643 €).
Between his cryptocurrencies there is a big difference.

Can there be an impact ? For the future ?
