ICOs are too expensive

[oriontab]

Here is something I have observed as regard ICOs raising funds and why many are trading at below ICO price soon after listing on exchanges. The reason could well be the fact that project teams are making ICO tokens too expensive, almost at same level with what we had at the bullish market.Meanwhile,the market is now 25% of its usually market.
Project teams implement better funds management strategies, avoid wastages and unnecessary  expense and thus have a cheaper ICO, I personally believe that they can reduce their expense by at least 50 percent and thus ask for less, cheaper tokens as such, that way, investors will be better make returns on their investments.

I am quite concerned with the current situation when the token after the ICO sale is complete. Price Tojken /2,/3../10 against the price of ICO. This will make investors not psychologically buy when ICO but wait list exchange and buy cheap. This will cause the ICO project to die.

Some of those who are trading below ICO price are bounty hunters. They just wait for the token to get listed on any exchange and then dump it right away at any price. I don't think serious investors who bought the tokens at ICO price would do the same. Unless they have lost faith in the project all together and want to cut losses.

Icos are not really expensive to my knowledge
I think the most important aspect is the fact that they dump ridiculous once listed on exchange
Imagine buying 1 eth for 30000 tokens

Then after listing on exchange, the 30,000 tokens is worth just 20$
That’s the most ridiculous thing regarding icos

I have seen such before, that is over 95 percent drop in price, I wonder how the investor of such projects will feel, that is not something that will recover easily

The irony is that if there are no ICOs ,there will not be tokens to be listed, in recent times, those who buy at ICOs seem to be those who will lose cash

Well, most of the concern for many projects is how they're going to grow their user, client or investor base. The blockchain industry is definitely an advertising heavy industry, I think that it's quite necessary to have a reasonable marketing budget otherwise client onboarding with be quite difficult. That being said, a lot of these projects are requesting unbelievable soft caps, typically requiring up to $10m to build often relatively simple products.... Very poor money management going on, as VERY few softwares cost $10m to build.

I have to agree; ICOs are too expensive. Projects became too expensive easyly and with the current downswing in the markets it minds loses for investors. My sugerence? Ask to the dev team about their funds management; many times, they include their profit in the ICO prize.

Most of the time good ICO team do the huge funds as a investment and make the payment together in the market well. So I suggest you to have the work goes well with the best ICO if you want to invest.
Henceforth you will not worry about the ICO listed with the big value since it has the growth and price bump soon.

[akirasendo17]

it depends on what ico, you may look on some ico which has good projects and find it cheap
but sometimes expensive one has good profits , i remember an ico before that give us high returns
and change me and my buddy's lives we almost can't afford it but we try to buy few pieces
and turn out to be a good pick, sometimes you need to check first if they have solid projects and
people around them that will be a game changer

Mostly, if the project is good they set an expensive price for their project but after seeing those coin on the exchange the price suddenly drops below the ICO price. So if the ICO are too expensive, better wait for that token on the exchange because the price will surely dump, even if its a good project.

I have been waiting to buy into ICO's in 2018 as well.  It's not like the gold days of 2016.  If you like a project wait for it to ICO, then crash.  Buy in a few weeks after the launch.  I have had great success with this strategy.   

[Crypto_circuit]

I don't think ICO's are expensive.

I don't think investor who bought an ICOs at a specific price would want to sell at that same price or lower.

The bonuses for private sale, pre-sale, airdrop if any and bounty play a part to the price of the token.

The private/pre sale investors who received bonus during the sale are selling off the bonuses to get their capital back at least.

Also, ICO with good fundamentals would go high and there would be a lot of people waiting to get some on the exchange.

I'd say the timing of the ICO release is the main problem. Releasing an ICO in this Bear market has and will make it almost certain for a lower trading price than the ICO cost. Its easier to hype a non existent coin as an "idea" than selling a coin after the release.

[Webberson]

On the contrary, i don't think ICOs are too expensive but rather i see it as the best level to make an investment. Though some tokens might be too expensive to acquire during ICO, but it still present its value low as compared to what it would be after ICO. Most ICOs are scams, no doubt, but you have to invest in the ones that has potentials.

[Bromote]

They are expensive, after all, the team behind the project doesn't want you to spend just a few pennies when there is a lot of tokens to give.

[Brawnsugar]

I have a problem with ICOs requesting ridiculous amounts in both their softcap and hardcap. Personally believe a project should not be asking for more than between $15,000 - $20,000. They end up making so much for themselves while their tokens stand a huge chance of tanking upon listing on exchange

I've only investing in one ICO in 2018, and they too didn't do well in the exchange. The coins are almost becoming dust in my wallet. Just like you, buying when they tank at the exchange has been renewed strategy and it's working for me

I don't think so.
Have you noticed now more ICOs have token price under 1 cent, and also have huge supply as 1 billion total supply for token now is a common thing.
my assume is those presale and private sale investor dump their token coz they get token under ICO price

[dupee419]

ICOs are not expensive in my own experience, some ICOs may be offering you a lot of expenses, however I don't think that all ICOs do this kind of thing, some ICOs are scams and some are definitely reliable, based on my experience last 2017, I invested on 2 ICOs and they didn't let me down, I earned a decent profit and was glad I did not get scammed.
