Established Altcoin any day. As long as there is no FUD, these coins keep increasing on a stable pace. ICO on the other hand end up losing most of their value after launch and are not as good an investment as an established Altcoin. On the contrary, almost everything is as good as gold in this green market and no matter where you invest, value is going to increase.

ICO means high risk -> high returns. But there is also other side of the coin = you may lose everything at once. Established coin means low risk, more liquidity, safer standing. I generally prefer established altcoins...

I am quite hesitant when it comes to investing in ICOs, I usually go for alts that are in the top 100 of market cap at least.

Don't you think its a less risky option?

What is your take on this?
We he the same opinion because many ICO now a day is a scam or after they are listed on trading, it suddenly dump and many investors are also in panic that is why the value of ICO is hard to sustain on its presale  price.

There is no right answer to this question. Everything depends on the project and on time. If the market is on the rise, ICO may be the only chance to buy tokens cheaply. If the market falls, then it is better to wait for the exchange and most likely the price will be more attractive.

I believe your fears are well founded however,  it's because you have a good pocket that is why you target those top 100. ICOs are risky yet they offer better returns to investors. Compare PARETO. If you invested $10,000 about four weeks ago, today you would be having over $350,000. How many top 100 could give you such returns?

Everyone do have their own unique strategies
That's depends on project, not all can give you huge return. established coin also worth for look. If you buy dether some weeks ago you'll get 10x return now

I think so too. If you invest in an ICO, there's a chance that it's a scam and they will run and hide after the successful ICO. It is better to wait for the project to be established and get listed in a decent site. That way, there's a chance that you can buy their token cheaper because most investors or bounty hunters dump their tokens.

Of course this is an option that has much less risk, but you need to understand that the potential of new coins is much larger and if the coin grows then the risk pays off. . Personally, I also now invest in the top coins but I previously invested in ICO it and there were very good results there.

invest in the top 100 market cap is good idea my friend,
and it is will minimize the risk on your investments
but, not all ICO project bad too
sometimes you need to learn deeper on ICO project before investing

CoinMetro - the future of exchanges

It's less risky but also it'd often be less rewarding!
getting in early in an ICO (that hopefully doesn't sell to 'private investors' for 10% of everyone else), could end great, however,
it could also end in disaster if they fail, while established altcoins generally has a bit more reliability.

I divided the entire capital into several parts, one buy altcoins on exchanges and the other about 20% invest in ICO! On WAX earned 1,000% with investment. It is hard to guess which project will give great growth, so I invest in a few different, some will give growth!

It all depends upon the project and the team behind it, if they are having a spectacular project there is no doubt i will be investing in it, but finding good projects are rare now a days and the best thing is to invest in the top coins in the market, even with top coins you have to be careful because bitconnect was also having good valuation and in the top list until it is busted, so whenever you invest you do your homework.

ICOs are risky but some return huge profits to its investors. Although it is more logical to invest on coins that are already on the exchanges, there are still people who want to risk their money for a good return investment.

 All of stable altcoins and ICO's are risky we dont know when it will rise or even totally drop. The project is one important of the success and what will be the rule of the project in the near future. price of altcoins and bitcoin is high risk but of course the potential to double or even 100times  is possible. Just remeber before entering investment do your own research.

Overall I would agree with you that it is a less risky approach. So the majority of my strategy would be investing in those coins/tokens (80%). However, when there is an ICO that you really believe in with the tech, team and major problem they solve then I would put personally put a little (20%) into a project like that. Here's one that I believe is solid in all those criteria areas I mentioned before, what do you think? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.msg31823480#msg31823480

Yes I agree with this. A lot of rising ICOs are becoming mire and mire ambitious yet not enough to be able to compete or sometimes couldn't even stand a chance to a lot of established cryptocurrency in the market. If only they are able to make more promising products and better projects, I think thay will be able to see the surface of the cryptocurrency market just like how the 10% do.

For me, Altcoin are better than ICO because they are already in the market and well known. While ICO are just starting to develop their project to the world and not sure if it will succeed or not.
