A bad timing to invest in an ICO? What are your insights?

[Evangeline2]

The ico that invested in February is mostly lossmaking. Many ico's price is lower than the issue price. I have invested in many ico, and finally I am losing money.

When determining the time to invest in a ico. Developer for swap, swap and generate good profit. Studying time to sell or buy is a job in the ability of investors. Nothing will be difficult for them.

ICOs are good investments. You just really need to look for a good one. There are several ICOs to choose from and it is difficult to pinpoint which among those are authentic and which will succeed in the future. This is where the importance of research enters. Make sure you do a keen research about the ICO to lessen the risk. It is not actually the "timing" that is wrong with investing in ICOs, it is actually the "ICO" itself you wish to invest.

ICO only allows us to participate in a project at a lower cost. Of course, the risk is higher because you do not know whether the project will be successful or whether it is a scam.

Well the risk is truly bigger, but the op is about such investments also not being 'at lower cost', since after appearing on the exchanges the coins' prices are likely to go below those stated during the ico stage. That's why I would also say that now is really bad timing for icos. Buying good coins right now might be a great idea for one who still believes in market recovery, but even that is not as safe to suppose as it used to be. The situation is new to the market, we've never seen such long drops without significant recovery attempts. I guess now is just the time for holding and trying not to look at the prices.

I noticed that most of the coins/tokens that was launch now are almost behind their ICO value by almost 25-50%, Basically if you purchased in the ICO someone could even double their holdings with the same amount that you used during your ICO purchased. So for me it will be wise to purchase in the exchanger but the risk is few of them wants to delayed their market launch due to market situation.
I also noticed that if the bounties are released in the same date with the investors the possible scenario is the coin/token will going to dump once it hits the exchanger, so better sell and rebuy once it dips because no matter what they say the bounties are free money and someone which is not a hodler will going to sell her/his holding once the coin/token hits the market ( always check the realease date of the bounties). I'm not an expert but tried to share my insights according to my experience, I'm an small ICO investors and the same time bounty hunter. Thanks and Godbless!!!

That's why I somehow have double thoughts (and for sure many are) about the idea in joining an ICO. Instead of participating even in the presale stage, where the most bonuses are offered, it is now a wise choice to just wait for it to hit the exchanges and let the dumpers do their job. But of course, if this is how we all think, I'm afraid there will be no more successful ICOs in the future, lol.

YES your right. Me one month ago i'am a pure ICO investor especially when i really like the project not even joining bounties, but i started to noticed the trend that most of the bounties are being dump once released that's why i tried to do the bounty hunting to atleast increase my holdings. I think ICO which are doing bounties should stick to their one month rule before releasing the bounties to let the coin/token to breath some space against dumping, it will also give ICO investors healthy feeling.

Maybe the one-month rule will help at some point but I think it's better if we follow the idea suggested from another thread saying it would be better if bounty payments will be made with Eth instead of the token being offered in ICO itself. That way, bounty hunters can't dump anymore.

Friend, ICO is a long term investment, the coin price won't go up after ICO.
The bounty hunters may causing the price to go down, but not for long term.
Let the ICO team use their collected funds for developing their products.
If after ICO the team developed some products in the future, i am sure the coin price will be increased at that time,
because many peoples want to use their products.
So my advice is, ICO is a long term investment, don't expect the price will go up after ICO and hit the exchange.

[Euroda]

as of now it is not the best time to invest right now but i prefer to get tokens through exchanger because you have the product and just waiting for it to pump and then sell it again

[Nivelir]

Here the situation has a double meaning. Prices for bitcoin today are very small and accordingly participation in such ICOs will only increase the amount spent by BTC, but on the other hand your bitcoin in the future will cost much more and accordingly the project in which you invested.

It should be like that, rewards should be paid in ETH.
I totally agree with that concept a healthy idea for ICO's market..

[3DBrushes]

In the bear market 99% of the ICOs will be like this and in the bull market most of the ICOs get listed at multiple times more than it's initial price. Bonus in pre ICO also plays an important role here. Anything more than 30% bonus encourages to dump on the exchange when it gets listed. Most of the ICOs are trading 40% below ICO price.

Simply because it is a beat market right now that is why most of the coins are dumping,not a very good time of getting involved with these ICOs because it is too risk,the bear market might be longer than we expected that is why we need to stick with bitcoin,because im sure if the market has recovered all of the altcoins will surely grow again.

[junjunsalsalani]

Of course it isnt a good time to invest with these ICOs because the bear market has come and it might be the reason why these token's prices will dump too,that is why we should stick with bitcoin's or other solid altcoin you prefered,so that our investments wont be put at risk as the market is slowly crashing down losing some value from time to time,because these coins wont fail our expectations they are always ahead from the shitcoins in terms of recovery.

[bulbolitobayagyag]

Most of the ICO investors and hunters are surely wont invest to these projects until the market has stabilized or the market had gone bull run because in bear market like this you wont get a lot of profits especially with these projects which will require you to invest with big amounts to get their tokens in exchange,not a good idea because these tokens will lose their value in the bear markets.

[cryptomema]

Of course no one will ever try to nvest with these ICOs especially when the market has bearish trend,because the value of these tokens will surely decrease to ,but in the other hand if the market is so bullish you will find out that most of the investors are willing to risk their money to these projects,stick with the movements of these whales so that you will have a good idea why they are doing it.

[Zagitta]

Don't know about current timing but one should try to avoid buying ICOs during their token sale. One should get it once it is launched in the market after the dev team has a working product to show. That way you will prevent yourself from losing your hard earned money.

Crisis time is good because it can show a real prospect the company and project. If it is kept afloat, in a falling market, then it will be successful.

I'm afraid, if you try to always find the right time, you will never be able to earn good money. Any key investments occur in a crisis moment.

Right now, things are not going so well in the world of ICO and that if you are investing more money into it, then you really need to be very much careful as there are likely chances of losing your money but still doing the things in the right manner by giving enough of the time before making any kind of decision can help you in having some better results but still you need to invest in only trustworthy ICO’s.

[myrliska1313]

I think that for ICO now is not a bad time, more people are learning about this way of earning money. It's worth investing, but first you need to find a really good project with a reliable team and product.

[iconoclast]

If you invest selectively in only the best projects you can still make money with ICO's. A lot of the price decline is because Cryptocurrencies in general have been falling.
