Buy on ICO or buy after being exchanged?

[Collider]

Be sure, that every ICO with bounty campaign will be listed unofficialy on some decentralized exchange like IDEX or EtherDelta and here bounty hunters will dump the price.

Yes, I bought bob's token (BOB) at hotbit exchanges 2 months ago. The price very under ICO price. And then I see the price of bob token up to 3 x now.

[BTCHadzija]

depends on the market situation, right now a lot of them trade lower after they're listed on exchanges so it's better to wait in my opinion

[krassy]

On ICO you can buy with a very big discount, but when the coin comes out on the exchange it is traded below the ICO at times. However, there are projects in which there is a redemption of coins after ICO and product development, usually this is written in the roadmaps of projects,and here you can get income only from coins purchased on ICO. The price of such coins on the exchanges is growing and it is difficult to play on the decline.

[Ivanmikronov]

50/50 never guess where will the new coin, I always buy at ICO, and the exchange, buying when the month, this time is enough to understand where at the moment the price is moving.

I prefer to just buy during the ICO if I really like the coin. They do sometimes dip on the DEX's but not worth missing out if you like the coin a lot.

[Impaler]

It's depends on you and the project. Many big investors nowadays stop buying coins in ico and they wait for a listing cause in this down treanding market many coin drop it's price below it's ico price. But this only happens to average icos or below average icos. Cause we see in this bearish market some token like holo quark wan. They give good return before listing. And that's it. If you think that the project is good but some reason not many people know about that then wait and buy it after listening but if you this that project is too much good and also the popularity then it will be better.

more profitable when first listed on the market. because usually many sell below the ICO even up to 20% of the ICO price. and the risk that we have to bear is smaller than when the ICO. because we might have to wait a long time for the token to be listed on the market or the worst possibility the project is a scam. so not buying when the ICO is the right choice.

[sanacaks]

Because of the bearish market condition I prefer the buy coins afrer bounty tokens has been released, I cause dramatic drop of the prize that you can collect tokens forum under ICO prize.

Buying ICO tokens during the public sale is really sometimes more profitable. But you should invest more money and earlier than others to receive the maximum discount. Without getting the maximum discount it is not profitable.

[accounting 181293]

agree with you, I also think it's more profitable to buy in the market than when the ICO. currently the ICO is no longer profitable plus a very long duration, it's natural that investors are more interested in investing when these tokens have a market. there is no guarantee when ico is finished they immediately listing the token to the exchange as soon as possible.

[tumis]

Yes, I bought bob's token (BOB) at hotbit exchanges 2 months ago. The price very under ICO price. And then I see the price of bob token up to 3 x now.

You should do the same with the SAIFU token.
Also not officially on stock exchanges at a 95 % lower price.

Btw, Is  there a brief summary of how the prices of ico change depending on the number of variables ?

[pinoyrichkids]

I see and observe recently that many ICOs are below the ICO price when they touch the exchange. Do you think it's a smart step to wait for an exchange and buy the tokens you want?

Maybe the smartest idea could be buy after its been listed on the exchanges, when the price was dump, in that way, you were able to buy at the very low price, compared to buying at the ICO price, but when listed at the exchanges, the price was below ICO, which is not profitable sometimes to investors, so better apply right strategy.

All ico are trading below ico price because of whats happening on the market right now so buying after listing om exchange is a good idea

It all depends on how long you want to invest your money, at this point in 6 months you will only be able to see your profit.

[hiyla]

I highly do not recommend buying now at the stage of ICO. I have not seen a single project that in the past 2-3 months entered the market and showed a price higher than ICO or the same. Basically, prices are 10 times smaller.

Currently, it would be better for someone to buy when the coin is already in the market because it would be easier for them to cash out and to trade. When you invest in ICO then you would have to wait for sometime before you would be able to exchange your coins and you don't even know when would that be. Some ICOs would take a year and for those who are impatient would not like it.

When you wait for the time that it will be listed in the exchange then you can still decide what price you would buy and you can do some technical analysis as well so that you can have an edge if its right time to buy or to sell. Currently, prices when listed in exchanges would be below ICO price so it would not really be good for those ICO investors even if they have bonuses.

[nytrolic]

that is really related with market conditions. if ico have really big hype it is really hard to buy that from exchanges. because people will pump that . but for example now it is very risky to invest projects during ico.
you can buy from excchanges beucase even best projects hardly collecting ethereums. and all of these projects getting rekt after coin distrubiton and unlock .

Due to continues downtrend of the market, I think buying coins in the ICO's stage it's not a good idea from now since the majority of coins now are below ICO's price after listed on the first exchange, but these all depend on a project if how they handle it!

[siena23]

I think that is the wrong step, because not all ICO token prices drop when listing in exchange. For me, I will buy tokens on Pre ICO or ICO, because the bonuses are very large, and when listing in the market I only sell the bonus, the rest I hold and I will sell when the price goes up.
