ICO Question

[TheBartender]

I'm monitoring and ICO that's been going on for a month and I have a couple of basic questions:

1. You have to use ETH to but this particular token. As the ICO goes on, the token price changes. I.E. for some people, they paid 0.30 cents a token but now ETH has dropped and they are paying 0.20 cents. Is that better or worse?

2. When you make the purchase in the ICO, doesn't it lock-in the price? Or will it fluctuate until the end of the ICO and THEN execute the purchase. I.E. it doesn't matter what you paid at the time, it matters what you paid at the conclusion of the ICO?

1.  Its the same.. throw out USD value when trading and only focus on BTC/ETH... sometimes you'll lose but more often you'll win.. if you're in the cryptocurrency game you should bet eth or btc will beat out USD and often if not all times they will.  Use the same philosophy when selling the token.. if you lose ETH comparitive value it was a bad trade.. gain ETH and it was a great trade.

2. Locks in the price.. again the USD fluctuation doesn't matter.. if its  3000/ETH it'ts 3000/ETH, regardless if eth goes up and down.. a lot of times early adopters will get bonuses for early participation but thats the only variance you will get.

this is normal

So essentially, I would get a certain amount of tokens. That's locked in at time I make the purchase. So if I bought 2 ETH worth to get 2000 tokens, it's still 2 ETH and 2000 tokens no matter what.

What I'm confusing myself with is the exchange, which in general is relevant but not necessarily right here. I guess I'm speaking out loud and answering my own question now. That makes sense as the number of tokens is the same it's just the price of ETH vs USD that is fluctuating.

A lot of it depends on the market influence of coin value

[Ahmad Raditya]

Of the few companies that hold ICO mostly use smart contract from Ethereum, this underlies the use of ETH as a means of payment but does not rule out the company also receives the other currency crypto. For changes in ETH exchange rates against fiat  is common in the cryptocurrency market. It is also a purchasing strategy to watch out for.

don't be so mysterious and tell us what ICO are you monitoring in order to help you and answer you question.

Generally ICO are a world a part and you never know  how market will react and accept the token/coin
ICO are for this reason more risky and  a lot of times the token goes down the inicial price.
If you are a long therm holder you don't give a s**t but if you hae bought the token for speculation sometimes you have to wait a  lot of time to get money back

DYOR always before buying a ICO and as I said before it depends from your purpose....

Don’t put any money into bitcoin that you can’t afford to lose. Ask veterans!

As I know - some ICO has smart contract with calculation of tokens amount at the end of ICO.
But it any case - this is risk, same as IPO - you never know - how much will be cost share after few month.
But usually if you buy tokens at the start of ICO - you get some bonus. And this can compensate some part of currency fluctuate.
