Is it better to invest into an ICO or Altcoin which is already on the exchanges ? Sometimes ICO can give huge profit margin if it is successful and everything goes well but there are some of the ICO which do not get enough funds and gets paused so we waste our money and time there . I need your opinion whether to invest in ICO or altcoins ?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I generally prefer altcoins because of reliability. But I think I will enter telegram Ico if it is possible.

Me my self chose existing alt over ICOs, cause i think it more safe. But sometimes i joining ICO if that ICO make me interested, such as what project they devlop. I love taking risk though, so as long at the begining you choose wisely wich ICO you invest youll make a decent good profit from it.

For me, why not both. However, if I'm not that sure then I will choose altcoins unless I researched it and found out its legitimacy and great potential of the project then I will go for the ICO as it mostly gives high returns once it's on the exchange.

I will also go for Altcoins that are already in the market but there are still so ICOs with great projects that ones their coins enter the market it will be better of existing Altcoins.

I combine the two to generate a little better income. For example, a large ico finishes and they launch the first tokens in the exchanges from there the bounty hunters dump a great amount of tokens causing the price to fall the below this and the best time to be able to buy.

From my experience in ico investment and promotion I will really advice you to invest your money into altcoins as this is far better than investing in an ico projects. I have bought some ico and I am currently regretting in investing my hard earned  money into such projects. If you invest into a project that is not exist any were except on the internet and on the mind of a developers you will be on your own as most of them has never get listed on exchangers sites before go on the dring. But if you buy a coins you can easily convert them to bitcoin or ethereum at will.

Ico's with good project and team are very profitable, in short time u can earn too much money. Ico's are more profitable for u when u make enough research about Ico's

I will suggest to invest in ico only if you have researched it well and you are confident that it will do great and you will not want to miss out and also can hold that until product development completes for good profit otherwise you can trade altcoins from exchanges.

The safer route for sure is to invest into altcoins already on the exchanges with proven communities because they have been around longer. Those however will generally yield you less ROI and as a result that is why people chase the ICOs. They give better yield but you never know if they are coming to market or take the money and develop extremely slowly. For me I do majority of my investing into altcoins because they are more proven but then again if I see an ICO that I think is fabulous I will punt some $ at it too.

Personally, i am into both. But lately, i am considering doing more of ICOs. There are a lot of ICOs with good ideas that worth investing these days. Do your research very well before jumping into ICOs.

If the ICO is a formidable venture then investing in the ICO at the bonus stage to acquire more is far better than altcoins because you can much gains when it get enlisted and new entrants tries to acquire the coins. But the crons is that your money is gone if the project fail to materialize.

Both have their qualities and both have their disadvantages, in relation to ICO you have the opportunity to follow the token step by step, participate in growth and can profit and with minimal investments, the disadvantage is that it has the possibility that the team does not meet the goal and stay for it and fail is a risk.  In the case of altcoins you have to perform a thorough research of the staff, opinions, speculation and the level of investment that is being made in trade and its disadvantage will depend on yourself, of their mistake in putting money in an under-researched currency.

I give preference to investment in ICO rather than altcoins in market because those coins at ICO stage can give you triple of your investment.

ICO is the first sale of an altcoin. If you read whitepaper, check team members, trust the project then you should buy from ICO phase. Early investors always have the best profit in good products.

For me, I think investing in both of them is pretty good but must take some precautions :
The choice of the ICO must be done carefully ( cuz as u said , some ICOs and up with great losses )
Secondly ( in fact it's the strategy I am following ) I try de divide the amount to invest in different proportions ie, 60-70℅ for the project the more confident ( in this case I assume it's alts) and 30-40 ℅ invested in ICOs

I choose both. But some people like to invest in ICO. I think that people do not like trading or do not know how to do it. Many people think that investing in ICO is a completely passive income and it attracts them.

I would go to Altcoin because as you said it is already listed in the exchanges. If you want to have a sure profit or income, go to the proven altcoin that has value already in the crypto market. ICO is good but we cannot guarantee that this will be listed on exchanges.

if you invest in ICO, you cant sell when you need money. You need to wait for exchanges. also you cant even be sure which ICO is scam. Trading on altcoin is more reliable for me. there is stop loss option and you can take your money when you need
