Can you invest in ICO in bear market?

[dat.ho12492]

it is very risky to invest in ICO at such a market, because few projects after ICO show at least their own price for ICO on the stock exchange, therefore I consider it is not the time for investments in ICO now.

Exactly, everything is very risky when this stage appears, most ico projects do not have enough capital to run and complete the project, investors have fled and stopped investing, the conditions are quite bad for a successful project. And one thing is for sure not have enough capital, they have to extend the time for the ico project, and we will waste time and money for that, I do not think people have free time for this delay, we have other ways to make more money

Its a good idea to invest in ICO in bear market when ETH is cheap.  It will give more multiplication than in bull market when everything is high price.  But always, you need to figure out the good project from bad.

if you consider that market will rise from here then ideally it is the right time to buy it because being market down means you can get at very low rate and once the rise happens your value of coins will rise thus you can make money from it.

The exact opposite is true, ICOs are not flying in a besr market as several people already pointed out. The only people celebrating and drinking champagne are the ICO teams, everyone else got wrecked this year so far.

ETH is currently very cheap. It's about 310$, so if there's a good ICO any time I'll join it right away. Opportunity to earn huge profits when the future market will increase. I will earn more ETH from investing in it at this time

Buying ETH now at a cheap price is definitely the right call. You will be able to invest in other ICOs in a little while, this makes the bear worth it. However, when things settle down a bit, things will get difficult again.

Agreed, buying ethereum is good pick. Along with this users who has got the understanding about respective ico's and tokens listed in recent days can make an investment over it. This will help the user profit big when the bullish trend begins. Sometimes a long term holding too requires.

The hardest time to invest is in a bear market. You end up purchasing little amount of tokens for more ETH or BTC. But it's also a good time for projects to collect good sums of money during their crowdfunding, as ETH or BTC goes up, so does the value of the funds raised.

The question now is, will you invest in ICOs, or stick with investing in market dips (buy low, hodl and wait to go up and sell), or simply trade in bear markets?

Ofcourse dropping of bitcoin and ethereum is an opportunity buy for long term hold cheapest value become to expensive value again after the bear market.

There was a time those people losing their hope and faith because of long time worse low value of both coin but the reason to quit and sell the investment, just stay calm and relax and also investing in icos as great opportunity to earn profits but need to learn the legality of the project.

In ICO it is worth to investing in any market, the main condition is that the project would be really good. Because for an excellent project it does not matter what the situation is now. We all understand that a bearish trend can become a bull ran at any moment, so don't miss the good ICO just because the market is now bearish. After the beginning of the reduction in the price of bitcoin (or rather, from February 2018), I have already participated in more than 10 ICO. Almost all of them brought me a very good profit.

[Eugenar]

Everyone has a choice to whether invest or not dueing the hard times in the market. But as we observe at this moment, most of the ICOs are not becoming to be profitable due to  the continuous dumps which have started in the beginning of this year unlike the scenario last year. As such, patience is really needed right now.

I think that it is possible, but only in high-quality projects related to the service of the blockchain infrastructure. Virtually everything, that is associated with applications using blockchain, in the current market will not give the X-s.

In the bear season, I don't think on investing in ICOs a lot. Because I think there are many altcoins which have big possibilities to bring better profits than any other ICOs.

[tondenga2122]

Yes, why not? You can invest any time in ICO whether on bear situation or bull.
But keep in mind that you have a low chance to get a profit on this situation, so better choose a good project to invest.

[cryptowse]

i prefer to stay away from ICOs since there are more scams than ever but as far as trading it depends on the stage of the bear market we are in, if there's opportunity of very high reward to low risk trades, then of course you'll want to make some profits but if not then i'd prefer to stay on the sidelines and wait for the market to make a shift in the sentiment and when most are screaming that BTC is dead.

[Sephire]

In a bear market, price appreciation on listing happens only for very good ICOs. Many ICOs are trading below ICO prices so need to watch for that. Once bull resumes, big price jumps after listing will be more common.

[cunguks]

It's very hard to tell for investing an ICO. Mostly ICO comes up with nothing, they are just scammer who wants to collect money from investors for their own greed. Not all ICOs are actually like that, some of ICO end up being successful. They're even manage to list on the top of coinmarketcap. Not the first one, but they manage to survive in the market storm and maintain their position in top 50. It's not safe to invest in ICO, so I prefer waiting until it releases in the market.

[yonnymen]

I personally wouldnt invest in any ICO in these market conditions unless I saw some crazy concept that was disruptive as heck.

[shanem]

In a bear market, the price of altcoins will keep dropping. Investing in ICOs in a bear market is foolish because many people will sell them (even at a loss) when the coin reaches an exchange. It is a no brainer the price will drop below its ICO price. I prefer buying existing coins that have dropped a lot from its ICO price.

We must remain optimistic and avoid extraordinary panic. Panic will only make things worse.
We should be optimistic and increasingly believe in cryptocurrency. This will help cryptocurrency improve.
We must be able to play a role in increasing the volume of altcoin transactions now, continue to use altcoins and more levels of altcoin usage so that a bear market like this can stop quickly.

[natumanya]

Its good time since most of the people would be afraid investing, hence you have the chance to getting the most of the supply and be able to control the market when its get listed on exchanges.

As practice has shown, ICO is very popular due to the speed and simplicity of the organizer and participation from investors.
