ICO or Altcoin?

[jsarce]

You "may" never go wrong with altcoins, but be wary of ICOs. Not all ICOs are good. Read their goals. What are the problems they are trying to solve? What are their solutions? What is their Mission and Vision? Is it too good to be true? Who is the team behind the project? Are they trustworthy?

ICO or Altcoin?  I'm sure both. If i knowing to choose, i choose an Ico many investors will join. I also like to support altcoin and i invest to them . I prefer to have a lot of diversity and competition in the Crypto. Thus the projects will focus on further developing themselves.

[parekoy]

I prefer Altcoin, I bought coins only in Etherdelta and not through ICO because in Etherdelta coins are more cheaper than ICO rate. And I notice also that the coin price is dropped low after the ICO and when it hit Cryptocurrency exchanges the prices are decreasing so that's why it's better to invest through Cryptocurrency exchange while ICO.

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 ?

For me anything that is not an ICO with a usable token is a scam. Bitcoin is a scam for me, is an empty token without any real product or direct connection to a real product.
I personally always invest to ICOs that have a real products to offer and their coin will have real use. I invest to the future, not to make just profits.
When crypto bubble burst only ICO will survive with real product and token hardwired to the product with use inside the ICO.

I strongly recommend to people to check trade.io and DIWtoken which is the top in btcurrencies and icotoinvest for this reason, is the only ICO with 10/10 rating! 

If I choose in the ICO or altcoin is will choose ICO because when I going to there project there's possible to my coin to grow more even there's a lot of ICO came out is scam. Also you can avoid to those scam ICO by read it first there propose project or by study first there white paper. Or its better if you invest in both of them, to know which is much profitable.

[vintages]

Your point is quite understanding and its really true. Most times one can get confused on which to choose out of the two because looking at it, both can be quite profitable if you choose the right ones. All I will say is, if your investing capital is much, you can go for altcoin but if you have little capital you can go for ICOs, provided you do a good research on the ICO you intend to choose.

[ilya_gr]

At this moment you should better invest in low cap altcoins, which give x10-x50 too, such as QSP, VeChain etc. Cuz of excess in ICO market, it`s dangerous to invest now in ICO

ALTCOIN and ICO were a bit the same, ICO is for altcoins.
well for me trading in exchange are for short term and day trading while ICO investment are onto hold and most of them rise in the market once place in any exchanger. this is why whales get bigger.

[vakeswork]

It seems to me that it is necessary to invest in ICO, it is more profitable and it is possible to earn extra money

[kryptqnick]

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.

I prefer to invest in altcoins as well, since at least you're sure you won't lose all of your money on that. ICOs are too risky for now. And they usually have quite high minimum investment requirements, whereas on the exchange you can buy a bit of coins to experiment rather than make a serious investment.

With all the fluctuations going around with Bitcoin it's really hard to judge an ico for investment. I would go for an altcoin as I can see the clear use of that coin and what may be the future of it.

Why do you mention bitcoin? Do all icos only accept investments in btc? If one goes for trading it is usually done via btc as well anyway, so I don't think it matters here. Or do you mean that ICOs are at risk when btc price is facing huge price changes?

[BitcoinTurk]

I prefer both of them to investing and take a good profit because these investings are profitable than Bitcoin trading or another type of exchange investings.

[sgenuine]

Both, i think. Some ICOs can make high profit after listing, but you need "soft pillow" like ETH, TRON. This will make you feel financially safe for a long time (in the long run these coins can make X2+). You can also try to analyze the market below the top 100, but it`s risky.

Altcoins are not as risky as ICO, but if you have enough experience and information, you can pick a really good project and invest into it. Some ICOs bring great profit:

I prefer to invest in ICO than in altcoin, because ICO gives me many advantages over altcoin.

Also you can avoid to those scam ICO by read it first there propose project or by study first there white paper.

The problem is that in most cases the description of their project looks very attractive  and their whitepaper looks perfect. It's almost impossible to decide whether it;s scam or not by reading those documents.

To boost your chances of making the right choice when choosing an ICO to invest in, you should look for one in which many people are investing.

Or its better if you invest in both of them, to know which is much profitable.

I've never understood this kind of advices.  Why both? Why to make losing a part of your money in the future a certain thing? Do some research and then make your investment. If you are still not sure then invest only a part of your money but don't invest in both. Make a decision. Of course you should do it after considering the options you have, but you have to make a decision.

My choice is reliable well-known altcoin. This is best and the most sure way to reach the profits. Many ICO projects are now just like a scam. They are only for collecting money not to making the profits.

[franss]

You can do both but you still have to research ICO and altcoin. This is done to avoid losses.

[Wildwest]

The difference between the two is not much different just ICO has more weakness than Altcoin. Because many ICO that we know have big potential to do a scam does not guarantee success when entering the exchange. But if Altcoin we can immediately trade without worrying about things that are not desirable.

[Dilireba]

ICO give you big change to x10 your funds. Altcoins can't do that. If you can find a good ICO, I recommend you join ArcBlock, you fund can be x10 after ICO

It is depending in a ICO if it has a good overall reputation and overview with their vision what they are trying to make. Investing on it can make big return after they add it on exchange in counter part there is also a chance of not gaining a profit it some problems or delays etc. around after the sale. Its almost the same in altcoins when it has been added but atleast in the ICO you have a much big chance to a maximum profit with respect to a bonus sale for the first investors for a limited days or time.

[richminded]

We can't be so sure because not all ICO's succeed even if they offer great services. It is better to be safe at least so I will go for altcoins which is more established compare to any ICO. Well, I also invest on ICO but its just a small amount of money and I didn't expect to get higher profit on that. There is no easy money nowadays we really need to work on our goal in order to achieve it.

Here you need to learn the team, good ICO - good altcoin
