Shall I invest in IPOs and/or ICOs?

[Nightz]

It is also a question of preference and if you are willing to get involved with cryptocurrencies on a deeper level.

Should or should not invest - it's up to you to decide. Think with your head.
And how to make an investment, you can, as a rule, read on the website of the project you are interested in (or find a tutorial in their social networks, or ask them in the chat).

Everybody should know him or herself but still you can think that giving your opinion can have value. This is a project that is interesting, but investing more time is always worth the time.

Its a personal decision to invest in ICO or IPO but I think ICOs are now replaced by IEOs due to scam activities and these IEOs are performing very well.

[Eraldo Coil]

To invest or not to invest is always up to you. The question that you should be asking here is are these projects good enough to become worth investing or is there any project you can suggest you should be worth more than these. But if you think these projects are good enough for you then why not?

For me I rather wait for the coins or tokens to be safely out for trade in exchanges before I buy them

Either you chose investing in IPO's or ICO's at the end of the day one thing is needed for sure, and that is if you have done your research on the projects that you are interested in. You should have known that anything that involved investment should be researched because there are many factors to be considered your investment will be profitable, specially in the crypto market where as of now there are a lot things that can end the project.

IPOs are a great to go, although I have quited the stock exchange market for a while because of the bad situation and manipulation by the big players, I was actively participating in most of the IPO. I think it's better to invest in IPO, specially when there's IPO like Uber.

I don't think this is the right place for the discussion.

Why ask us? It's completely up to you. I'm pretty sure it's not as easy to invest in an IPO though, as you'd have to register with a brokerage firm as far as I know. The process probably depends on what country you're in.

ICOs though? I don't think ICOs should even be considered nowadays.

I don't consider investing in ICO either, ICO is hurting because of too many scams and developers are abusing bounty hunters and investors, gone are the days when real developers are doing crowdfunding using ICO, now so many anonymous scammers launching dubious projects and employing fake people.

[maxreish]

Haven't you considered IEO to your lists? IPO is still better from ICO but if i were you, just to be wise to your investment, I would rather choose IEO. Do not be influenced by some companies who chose IPO, the importance is the assurance of a particular investment. IEO will be on my first choice. But if you want to have an old and established projects, go for IPO.

[maldini]

Maybe if I were you I would choose an IPO instead of ICO, yes now ICO is better known as a scam and not a few of the ICO projects failed. IPO has a small percentage as a scam, because the company that launched the IPO means that it has had a real project before.
But if you like startup companies, it's better to add the IEO to your list and not participate in the ICO.

[Folajuwon56]

I think IEO is a better option ICO and IPO have a lot of scam, nowadays you can easily fish out an IEO for potential scam unlike ICo where you don't know if it's real or not.

It is not about one over the other, it is about honesty. If here is an honest team behind an IEO or ICO, both options can go well.

[Tipstar]

Lyft, Pinterest, Zoom, Uber… these are the big names went to IPOs recently.
It seems IPOs are roaring back, especially compared with the freezing winter for ICOs. Shall I invest in these initial offerings? If so, how?

Remember a good investment portfolio is always diversified. Investing in just one sector could lead to high profit sometimes while high loss in others. If you invest in a multiple of sector, lose from one could be covered from profit from other. So, select the best of them and invest in everything be it stock, bonds, debentures, mutual funds, hedge funds or crypto.

But remember will you try to buy a coin that already traded more than 4x from the ico price? i thought that if you will not try to buy it. This time people are putting all of their attention to the ICO/IEO. Remember IEO gave the same guarantee like what will you get when you are trying to buy from exchange site.

I think IPO is quite better because ICO was just recently replaced by IEOs an its performing better now. IEOs are doing great and has a bright future.

IPO dead and can you even say it's better than ico? it looks so werid to see you are saying that and how much developers are interested in created ico rather than ipo right now? none of them even interested to created it and do your deep research for that dude.

[odukoyaewatomi27]

Either IPO or ICOs, my advice for you is to do a very good research before you invest your hard earned money because people are getting rekted in IPO too, so doing your research will help you know whether it is worth investing in or not.

[lolgato1]

IPOs?
Do you think that IPOs are for everyone? I do not think so, while ICOs, in the year 2017 were for everyone, also retail investors earned a lot here. Why it is not profitable these days? Because bear market, but as soon as market sentiment changes, you can expect another ICO boom.

said who is the IPO dead? The IPO is still there, and I think IPO is better than ICO that is filled with scammers. Although the IPO is not intended for everyone, I think it's quite good because only good investors can buy it.

Do not compare the IPO and ICO, the two fundraisers are different, the ICO is fundraising which previously did not have trust, while the IPO was fundraising from companies that already had trust.
