ICO or buy later on exchange ?

[TreXzar]

Nowadays, with the bear market, its definitely better to buy on exchange.
So many coins get dumped straight away  as soon as it gets on exchanges, and often goes below ICO price. Thats the perfect time to pick up cheap coins, and as the project develops and things pick up, the coins does the multiplier thing that all the weak hands missed out on.
Theres always an exception though, with some projects that are hyped so much that it trades on IDEX or forkdelta for multipliers straight after unlock.

It is hard to say which is better since you do not know whether the price will be lower than ICO price or not, I prefer to buy ICO tokens if I think it is promising.

I think that it's better to buy of ICO than buy later at exchange.
Join in the ICO is possible to get a lot of bonus and if it is already listing at exchange and when the price is the same of ICO
you can get a profit from your bonus.

The advantage for investors who follow ICO before the coin is launched to the free market is the price given will be cheaper. And usually when the coin is launched the price will jump, so in my opinion better join ico

There is no real fixed rule but it depends on many factors; if the ICO has a lot of hype, social follower, users that follow and support, solid and well-known team, etc. then it is very likely that it will have a good success on the market

On the contrary, if the team is new, with a very ambitious but unclear project, imbalance in the sale of tokens, no agreement with real companies, etc. then it is better to wait for the quote on exchange, because it is very likely that its price will be much below the ICO selling price.

 There is also a third way, however, that is increasingly widespread in today's ICO: this is the whitelist or pre-ico, or even better as a private investor in the project (perhaps making a rope or group with more friends). In this way you get much better conditions on the token price in ICO and then you can sell immediately on the market, with a much higher return to investors who participated in the ICO.

Have found out that what you pointed out are mostly true from my experience.

Normally, hyped projects perform well in the markets after the ICO and peaks faster.

Being in the pre-sale is the sure way to guarantee you get solid rock bottom price on ICO if you have the proper amount though as they usually sell it in bulk.

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 ?



 

In 80 percent of cases, the price of a coin falls on the same day after ISO. Statistics are very sad, investors are suffering.

[bluecoinX]

I think it's good to buy on the exchange. ICO now makes you lose money most of the time, and it's very risky.

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.

The most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on ICO stage right now and already on the exchanges, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2659058.0

If you are financially capable of buying your target coin from he market, then go on as this is the right time to invest. You can hold them until the next few more months.

[coskunc]

The bear market dumped most of the ICO's released in the last 2 months. I don't know what will happen with the market on April. But if bullish or neutral market comes back it would be better to buy at ICO's
Right now you can check dumped long-term projects that will award you only if you are patient enough.
For the future ICO's I would rather buy ICO

[EHT7500]

When the coin's price drops after ICO, its usully not worth getting into at all. Look for practical projects that have palce in real-life industries, not just something relevant in crypto-sphere or even just Internet.

When you buy tokens on a pre-sale with a large discount, it's more profitable than buying them on a crypto exchange.

Yes discounts when buying on new and running ICO token while buying on the market already leads to the first high concern ,if there is a massive dump of whales to force sell our valuable assets and gain a profit buying in low value or trying to elevate quickly ,so we buy at the highest value then the whale drops the value ,Opportunities exist only at the time of the birth a project

[tenakha]

Buying tokens in ICO is not always profitable specially if you dont have experience to choose good projects. Even sometimes good projects can not perform well.  Exchange prices are depend on circulation and volume of coin/token. Best possible scenario is to keep doing both: Participate in ICO and buy from exchanges later

I agree with you completely. ICO participants receive coins much cheaper than the market price of a coin. When a coin enters the market, its value most likely grows. This gives a very large profit to those people who already have these coins.

Most of the time the coin from ICO drops down when it is finally listed in the exchange sites.  It dumps and some investors grab it to invest more to gain more.

Sometimes, i wait for the coin to be listed in the exchange site and when the price drops i usually buy some coin because it will surely rise.  But of course,  i usually choose a good coin before i finally invest.

[markovi4mark]

I prefer to buy them at the time of ICO only because we are going to get a bonus from the company at the time of ICO. After listing in the ICO we have to buy them at a higher price.

[Jianx]

in a position like this I am a little confused, if we buy at the time of ICO there we participate in the success of the project, but in fact when the openmarket prices in the market is not as sweet as we think.even more profit in the market

Is that your gut feeling or are you a statistitian?

[cupic]

Should buy ico after exchange because then the risk will be greatly reduced. After the exchange price will be more stable because the sale activities are no longer occur as before. We have a stable exchange community. I think about 3-4 months after the exchange, decide whether to buy or not.
If the ICO has very good ideas and the team is transparent enough, the community is large enough, harcaps for ICO level should buy ICO or after exchange if the price is not too high compared to
