ICO or buy later on exchange ?

[ROB18]

There are pros and cons if you buy during ICO and if you buy during exchange already. ICO is great because you can received bonuses and discount. The only problem is when the ICO did not reach the target investment and your investment is in trouble. Now, exchange resolve the issue about the project since it already able to reach the exchange, the only thing is, most token increase during the exchange period higher than the ICO price. No discount or bonuses whatsoever. But there are a lot of times that exchange price is lower than ICO then that is a good buy. If you believe in the project then go ahead. Pick any option, you're in track.

If you don't feel like joining in ICOs, much better to buy your target investments. Its not a big problem if you're financially capable specially if you want those coins that are really promising.

ico offer very cheap price with huge bonus, but not all ico will get benefit when listing in market .. so if want to join in ico better you learn first how the project performance .. but if there is a coin price below ico when listing in the market and you think has a huge potential then do not hesitate to buy it on the market ..

ICO is a risk, but if you feel that you investing in a cool project, why not?!

I agree with you, ICO is a big risk. But big money is always associated with greater risks. I think that participation in ICO is more profitable.

ICO is like a bet .... sometime you win sometime you lose ...

It's wrong to think about ICO as about a bet - if you do so, you are much likely to lose it all. Try analysing the tokens you buy and do some research about the project first.

What about the topic, now I see that a lot of tokens go red right after the end of their ICO (no surprise, bearish market + bountists who sell first) but then the price rises. So you can try to buy the tokens in the first day when they reach exchanges after the ICO, though I don't think the price will be lower then during the early ICO stages with all their bonuses, etc.

I think, there is not any easy way to make a wise choice for that. Any influence of the crypto market such as ETH or btc also affects the choice to buy tokens in the form of ico or later. Usually I try to capture to buy private token or pre-sale token. That would be beneficial and highly effective.

If somebody is good in identifying the future of coin then better to buy at the ICO stage as you will get bonus as well. And once it gets listed due to better utility of the coin in future demand will increase and so will price. So you will have an added advantage and a better return can be expected from it..

That's right buy coins when ICO we will get double profit or bonus, they give us bonus if buy ICO when they need investors, and more profitable if we also participate in their ICO project, but we must be good at choosing ICO project due to now have a lot of scam ICO's there, see their team behind, roadmap, their experience and etc.

Original Crypto Coin didn't do an ICO and they only Airdropped.  Great team and can only be traded on ForkDelta

How often does the price get lower than the ICO price when a new coin is listed on its first exchange house ?

How come there are coins that are worth like 0.0004 $, usually during an ICO one coin is sold in the range of 1$ or not ?

Do some "coins" skip the ICO stage ?



 

I prefer to buy at ico or pre ico if i can because i can get cheaper coin and lots of bonus instead of buying from exchange where the price already increase several times. Of the project is good and there's a lot of demand, the price will be higher on exchange, the one that has lower price are the icos who collect too much money or not enough demand for the token.

#1 ICO
If you can research and read whitepaper, technology paper, so on...
#2 Buy later on Exchange
This way is safer, for newbie I think you should make a great ICOs list then waiting for it on exchange, then we can buy when price down.

[eelectrick]

It's really cheaper investing and buying on ICOs, preferably that's just the way to go. Even with it's reasonably
low prices, it's still a risk and no guarantee of that coins success. That is why there is always a need to study
and read whitepapers, to ensure and have a better judgment on which ICOs stand a better chance to succeed.
I also believe that once that coin gets listed after ICOs and ITOs, there's a high probability that it doesn't fully
lift up immediately sometimes it takes about 3 to 5 months after, they are good for holding. Invest on the ones
that are solidly well teamed and sufficiently organized projects with smart services offered.

Joining in ICO is much risky with higher reward, many ICO coins will be lower than the ICO price and many may not be able to get listed on big exchanges, so I think it is better to buy some new coins on big exchanges.

It varies from ICO to ICO. ICO is also very important how much fomo and hype it is.

[bitcoinking11]

Many people have suffered losses by investing in ICO and I am one of them. I wouldn't make the same mistake again. I would like to buy on exchanges. Most of the time when the coins listed on exchanges their prices are a lot cheaper than the ICO price.

[lolchina]

Sometimes it is better to wait for an exchange... Because the most coins are getting hammered below ICO price as soon as they are tradable on an exchange... I try to buy the overhyped ICOs on an exchange. I only participate in ICOs which are under the radar.

[JHED1221]

I think buying with ICO's are more profitable they some bonus, But sometimes if the coin of ICO's got an exchange the price was below ICO price.

[Xxxurrrad]

I always participate in the ico. In the current situation it is more profitable to buy after listing on the exchanges. I am sure that when the market recovers, everything will change again.

I had several times to buy ico coins but after entering the market the price fell even below the ico price.
I try to hold until 2-3 months but still no increase. since then I decided to no longer buy ico coins.

[apache12]

I prefer to buy at exchange at the beginning of listing and price below ico, and I will save 2-3 months ahead,
At that time I hope the price will go up and im get profit.
