Is it better to buy during ICO or Market?

[AbiusGMIU]

some times ago answer is definitely buy during the ico. but now a days every ico when they goes markets drop so much. because of crazy flippers. hate them.

If to buy coins during ICO, the best option is to invest during the Private sale, when the price is the cheapiest. Or you can buy it after ICO, when the price is dumping.

Buying during ICO is the best. Alot of discounts are being given and some add ons as well..Once it goes on exchange, prices tend to rise and discounts are hardly given then.

[micknessjocular]

buying during ico is much cheaper, so if you are sure that the project will succeed, then go ahead, but always do your own research

I adhere to the rule of buying only after entering the exchange and when the normal volume appears in altcoin, ICO is considered a game in the blind. You never know at what price it will go to the stock exchange and where later the price will go.

It is better to buy during ICO due to its benefits. Most or even all ICO tend to attach a bonus in respect to a particular amount of their tokens you want to buy, so when you buy during ICO it's not only cheap compared to market but also comes a bonus benefit.

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.

For me it is better to buy in ICO meaning during in ICO because buying in ICO will give you bonus tokens like 25% to 30% etc. Buying during ICO is a good decision and wise decision. So buy during ICO now.

I think that you need to divide your funds into 2 parts. The first part of the funds must be invested in the project at the ICO stage. The second part of the funds to invest in the project after listing the coins on exchange.

There are no clear concepts, there are examples of both in the direction and the same in reverse, if you take in the long term I suggest taking a coin at ICO. But if you are an active trader and want to trade this coin, you can wait until it to the exchange and trace the movement of course.

It is profitable to buy in the bull market on top ICO, in 2017 they could immediately give x3-x5 coins that were solely listed on the stock exchange. Now on the contrary - 5-10x see.

I understand about investing in ico and I also have never invested in ico, because now this is a lot of ico that looks good but it turns out to be a scam, and ico that looks bad it turns out to be a success.

The ICO is surely a risk. No one knows whether a certain ICO token will have a higher market price after being released in the market so profit will not always be assured. While on the other hand, investing after the ico would be a better option because there's a chance that the price would go down and will again increase after some time.

[Bren Briones]

The question is a very valid question whether to buy a token during ICO or to buy in the market after the ICO. I think the answer may very depending on what type of a trader you are. If you are a long time holder, I think you may do both because the investment willbe holded as an asset and will take time and mature before selling. For a day to day trader, maybe he/she can also do the same but I think it is more advisable and mostly practiced by investors buying during ICOs.

I think there is nothing wrong in investing in ICO actually. However, due to recent issues of many scams and bearish factor taking a toil in the prices of coins once they land in market, hence, it has made so many to take off as regards ICO. Leave to me, I will always prefer it getting go market before I make any move. It will even safe the stress of going through process like Kyc.

[dubynin1990]

I recommend buying during ICO it's the safest investment. On the stock exchange, it may happen that the coin will go up dramatically and you will not be able to buy it at a lower price. Although it all comes down to the choice of the project in which you are investing, a good project in any case will grow, but bad in any case will disappear over time.

[baby222]

Buying during ICO could bring you more benefits but these days not every ICO is a safe one so I suggest you buy in market

[hheight]

It really depends on the project. As practice shows the price of the most ICO tokens is lower on the market after its release. But there are some cases when it is more profitable to buy during the ICO period.

[tetyulfania]

Buy coin during ico its have more lower price than when listing coin on the market, but we have to know buy during at ico is hard for waiting the coin will listing on the market. many ico have failed listing their coin on the market because scam of ico project.

[Spiderman3]

It seems to me everything depends on the situation on the market.  If the market is unstable and the price of coins is very low, it is better to buy coins on the market and not risk investing in ICO.

In this subject, I can recommend to read the report of the website icorating, called ICO Market Research Q2 2018.
There are very interesting details in it. For example, 57% of the tokens listed in exchanges were traded below the ICO price, 3 days after the listing. Also, an interesting fact is, that the median return was -21,59%. And only 7% of the ICOs were actualy listed on exchanges! That means, that most of the time, it was realy not a good idea to invest in the ICO, it is better to wait until it is listed on the exchanges.
However, there were exceptions even in this bearish market, like Quarkchain, which had a very nice return. At least for those who succeeded to participate in the ICO, which was actualy not easy. But it shows, that the best ICOs could still bring a nice ROI.
I also noticed, that after listing on an exchange, the price is usually dropping very quickly, so often it is even better to purchase a couple days after listing.
And before we make any rush consequence, we all know how fast this market can change, so I can imagine, ICO investing to become profitable again in the near future.
