Is it better to buy during ICO or Market?

[efey399]

In the crypto money world, this is actually the strategy that investors apply. ico I think the market is the most sensible form of investment. During the ico period you get bonus benefits when you buy coins. so ico is better

according to this, It depends on the ICO whether it will work or not specifically if it has great potential in the future. But for me, it's better to buy during ICO because it has a lot of privileges and bonuses at that time than in the market. And Volatility is high and there is a possibility the market is just trying to get rid of tokens in reaction to external forces. Wait until there is stability in the market.

I noticed that many investors were afraid to buy during ICO because their reason they are cheaper can be bought on market. Especially when they found out  that a large percentage is allotted in the bounty program. Many Bounty Hunters  immediately selling token/coin even lower than the ICO price.

buy in the first week of launch market. Many people sell at low price. YOu will get  a lot of profit because sometimes the price is cheaper than ICO price. The first lauch of FYP token is very cheap after a month is only about 5 % increase but then after two or three months , fyp jump to 100 %.

[Crypto Chips]

mostly ico price from the token is dropping when listed on exchange because of bounty hunters, they will sell out their token and thats the good time for buying the dip

[lawalganiyu]

In my own point of view I think it is better to buy  during  the ico  because  it is more  of benefit  because  the token might  be of low and later when get to market.it will surely  be of profit  for the buyer at the time of been exchange

So true and if you don't wanna undergo in kyc this will be advisable for you.

Personally, even there's always a big discount in pre sale or in main sale I didn't participate it as first I don't want to be get scam and second I don't want headaches that joining ico can give you. Like in the end of the day, you'll demand a refund.

I think it's better to buy when the project hits the exchange market. You will see real demand of the token/coin (project), I have noticed a lot of projects claim specific price in whitepaper, but when it hits the markets, it is totally different, most of them much lower and no where near the price, that was claimed in a whitepaper! If you are a trader you shouldn't risk investing in ICO, as it is called a cat in the bag, low probability that you will invest right and get your profit straight away, once the coin/token hits exchange market! It might take ages for the project/coin/token to work and reach the price, that had been claimed, as written in a whitepaper 

Yes its true what you said above but the risk and reward of both two strategy is different.
Joining in ico can give us good and more income if the price up because we get the low ico price and also bonus from ico.
But the risk is also higher.
Buy in market also good but its not always down and also no bonus to buy it when market.

There is no one universal answer to this questions. The variables are way too much. Sometimes ICOs hit hard cap and open below ICO price (+discounts). It depends on whether you are buying with fresh fiat money or BTC/ETH. It depends whether it is a bull market or bear market.

[GrannyC]

Well, on a bear market the price normally drops bellow ICO in the launch, and that has happened many times. But also don´t find any good reason to buy a coin that has gone down instead of up.

[ckcharlie]

There are a ton of flippers out there who buy at ico to flip for 2x or 3x at exchange launch. this has become much more common through 2018 with the red market as many ico's drop below ico price. Even if you are careful and buy a top project you can still get burnt (like i did on Fota - but i'm still holding because the project is good) so really i think it's market based. If the market is healthy then ico's will do well and give profit. If the market is bad for months like it has been ico's struggle at exchange.
I think things might be turning around though. many are delaying exchange launch for this reason and some recently launched are doing ok. ( i hope eventually we will see the 20-40x and higher returns 2017 ico's brought in.

[ongahawak]

Well, it depends on the project and also on the type of investment your plan. If it's a short term investment and your looking for making quick money, research whether  the project is a good funded one. That will surely make a profit by the time of it becomes available in the market.

[4ernuy]

Well, if the project had a big bounty company, then there is a chance that its participants will lower the price when they enter the exchange.

at this time many ico which after listing in market below ico price, maybe also because of market condition less good. but if i am prefer investment after entering the market, because it does not wait too long time, besides that i am still learning to analyze

Its better to buy after ICO, I witnessed a lot of situation where the price of an ICO token goes down because a lot of bounty hunters sell their token. but its up to you, because you can earn bonuses if you are early investors in an ICO.

[IlfarIldarovich]

Depends on what goals you are following. If you are interested in involvement in the project, it is better to enter the pre-ICO stage. If you are interested in buy/sell, then exchange.               

[cryptoenterprise]

If you have done you research and you know the project will succeed then investing during ICO or even before that as an early adopter is best because then you can get lower prices and possibly some extra bonus.

[Masik2018]

In fact if you are not very informed about the project, the ICO is a very risky venture. It makes sense to buy coins when it has entered the market and avoid risks in this way.

Investing is like gambing.. But if you see a lot of potential in the project,, better buy during the time of ICO specially on its phase1 token sale/pre sale where the token price is much cheaper and you can even get some bonuses.. Right now,, Im planning to buy token on Bitxoxo Exchange, I've heard their giving 25% discount on their Presale.. Im putting my trust on them.. Hope to have big profit..

Investing in ICO is the ability to wait for a good moment. The main thing is the patience and faith in the coins you invest in.
Good coin you must buy on ICO. But it's not true for last time:)
