ICO or buy later on exchange ?

[felista32]

now invest in ico a very dangerous occupation, all projects come out with big minuses, which reach 2-3 and even 5-10 times.
If you see a real perspective in the project, it's better to buy tokens on the exchange

[Oleg88]

now many ICO projects can not collect the necessary budget and their tokens go to the exchange cheaper than previously stated. I think it's better to buy on the stock exchange

ICO investment is hugely profitable. before choosing any ICO we need to research a lot. The team and project roadmap, Escrow if alls are fine then good to made investment. if not then no need to waste of money.
I like to do both investments.  But buying form exchange is good for me.because bounty hunter dump coin a lot and its good chance to buy some coin with cheap rate.
Before doing anything in a crypto industry first do your own research. without it, you may lose all of your assets at a time.so be careful.

If you evaluate ICO as profit only it's sad. And that's why I wait when end today's ICO period.

And about a bounty. Do you really believe that 0.5-1% can dump price on the markets? Such a reward usually give for bountyhunters. Do you see how much get funds and private sales investors? Which bonus on these rounds? Try to watch. DYOUR

[/quote]It looks like that guy didn't even understand about how the private and pre sale investors will be taking their profit from the market and I guess he must learn more about the mechanism of it.
The price is unpredictable basically these early investors are giving a huge impact to the price of ico.

I think better buy on ICO, dump on listing w/ profit , and then rebuy after it bleeds out if ever it goes to that route.

If the project is good and promising, then the best option is to buy tokens at the ICO stage. In this case, you will get excellent tokens at a bargain price, plus bonuses. This is an excellent way to get an excellent profit.
It's another matter if it's about a project that is rather dubious. The price of these tokens is likely to fall after the listing. But here the question is whether such tokens in general are necessary?

to date, almost the majority of ico companies are very modest and prices after the listing are still falling.

Therefore, the conclusion suggests itself. Now is not the best time to participate in the ICO. That is why good projects postpone the date of  ICO or don't rush to announce the date.
But your statement doesn't help the author to solve the posed question. So give your recommendation.

I have always recommended investment in Ico, but with caution and subdividing the capital reserved for it (only a part of the capital reserved for crypto) in more than one, and only after having carefully studied them; Well today I think, after a few months of evaluations and analysis, that it is better to buy in Exchange.

Too many variables, too many discounts reserved only for large VCs or Pools, so for normal users who buy in RC or simple ICO will always be swept away by big investors with much higher discounts.

Until the recovery and complete confidence of the market in general, it is better to leave the ICOs, even the most promising ones.

Both choices have the same advantages and disadvantages of each.
If you want to buy a cheap price, then you can buy it at the ICO, but that does not guarantee that after the ICO the price will be more expensive.
If you want to avoid a SCAM project, then you can buy coins that have been released on the market, but it's not impossible that the price will drop or end a scam too.
All choices depend on the basis of your analysis.

Although in the last week the market showed good growth, one should not be mistaken and consider that it was bovine days, at the moment the market is still in a bearish trend and it is not so worth forgetting.

Well, if you like the project and you want to support it, then buy coins on the ICO. Because then your money goes to the team to develop the project. Moreover, not all coins lose their value after the exchange.

[Barbatsutsa]

Such strategy is good only for difficult times in market like now, because decent tokens always grow in price after the ICO...waiting may be a risk.

[KDjr]

i suggest you prefer buy in ICO than when it goes to exchange market.. so few that what you have said getting high value after ICO, i guess it happens when some investor ride with the token after the project so the price went up instantly..but more profitable when you buy in pre sale, not on crowdsale. and you get benefit the bonus of ICO.

It seems to me that for today the market of ico is practically destroyed by scammers. due to the fact that a lot of fraudulent projects, investors do not want to invest in ico companies, and buy coins on the exchange.

[senaslopre]

Here, from which side to watch, ICO is interesting, but know in which projects to participate in order to buy a token at ICO for a penny. And after going to the stock exchange the price rose, because there is no sense then.

In the past, it was very difficult to buy tokens from ICO projects due to difficult KYC requirements, so when the ICO succeeded, the growth was very strong. Now ICO investment is easier and not as strong as before so I advise investors in this stage to buy coins after the ICO will be less risky.

Yes. that makes more sense. I would also like to suggest investing right after token listing in exchange because it may make you happier later on. Who knows, your gonna making a huge profit by this way. In this stage, The ICO you would buy may turn into a disaster so be careful.

[Papsie]

Investing in Ico is very risky. But some devs give advantages to some investors who will first believe and invest to their ico. For example they give a discount.  So I really believe early investing is still worthy thing to do.

[Taner]

Last summer showed that it was often better to pick up coins after listing than to buy on ICO, for example Quarckchain, Metronom.

[Tellek Garing]

for now, when the price of bitcoin and ethereum becomes down, it is better to buy in exchange because there will be a period where ico tokens will be cheaper there than when ICO, so the benefits will be obtained when everything becomes cheaper.

[wesk1212]

before projects were few .. when we invest at ICO we got 200-300% profit
but now there is many ICOs .. all people sell his token immediately  so the price go under the ground
so buy from exchange is the best

[Ludmila72]

its so hard to predict, becouse some coins is upper then ICO price, after lunching, and some is down then ICO price.
