Which do you think is better, buy at tokensale or buy at public exchange?

Its fully depends on you. In most of the cases the new coin is unable to reach its public sale price when its hit to the market. But after this whole ieo revolution we saw many project which is 2x-5x or even more when its come to the market. So it depends on the project. If you think a project is highly appreciated and give a good return then go for in ICO stage. But if its not that much hyped then buying in exchange is the safest option.

It depends on the experience of the investors when the new project hits the market. It will be expensive to buy on the ICO, the alternative and safe options are waiting for the exchange listing. After the getting listed, coin price will fluctuate up and down aggressively due to the dumps by the pre-ICO investors and the demand form the new investors who want to buy cheap than ICO price. Same story in the IEOs too.

Buying cheap from the exchange is the first choice of the experienced traders and there are a lot of opportunities in the newly listed coins on the different exchanges. The public sale can fail if the collected funds don't reach the minimum required softcap amount but not all projects will stop the project due to the insufficient funds for the developers they hired in the project.

There are 2 possibilities either you do able to buy those cheap coins from ICO or you would able to miss it up because there are coins who do increase up instead of dumping after listing but I agree that we should see on buying up after all those investors dump their tokens after such listing because dumps will definitely happen to these times.
The only question is, do these coins are worthy to buy on? It doesn't mean that you would need to buy a token after a dump yet you would still need to nitpick on which one is good
that has a potential on recovery because most of them do directly head to the graveyard.

These days it’s always better to buy at exchange because from the record , the price usually drop even below token sale price when they list on exchange ! This usually brings loss to investors and developers most times don’t care. Now the return on token sales investment is very negligible even after listing on exchange.

It is better to wait for the exchange news and later buy from the cheap price. Buying on the IEO is riskier than buying from the market rate form investing perspective. The talented guys know the difference and they go for the best option. I also consider buying from the pre-ICO stage prices if there is such an advantage for the big amounts. It is risky to make a correct decision but it will worth to make trading risks if I believe in the team and project. Tokensale prices are the real value for the traders who like to compare the recent market price vs the ICO price.

I do not think so. Joining IEO is also risky, is there a guarantee that IEO will always increase in price? it's just that IEO gives investors more confidence that tokens or coins are ready to be traded. So, what is more, appropriate is that we analyze the project to the maximum, if it's good and market interest is high, then you are right we have to buy it at the lowest price, it can be at token sale or at the beginning of the listing.

Joining the early stages of most token sales is advantageous because most of the token sales offer the "Early Bird Catch" bonuses to early investors. Here, the investors get to buy the tokens at huge discounts. Anyway, buy a token after it gets listed is also another way to earn the tokens yet not all the tokens experience a dip in price after listing.

Because the cryptocurrency situation is currently not the same as before. So I want to ask all of you in here, so that I don't lose money in investing. Which do you think is better, buy when ico / ieo / tokensale and get a bonus or buy when it is listed in the public exchange/market at a low price? I personally prefer to participate in the tokensale but see the current situation, when a token / coin list in the market is cheap, this makes me very confused to invest. How about you? Can you share your mind and help me out my confused

I think both have their pros and cons if youre gonna buy from token sale or public exchange. First, if youre gonna buy in a public exchange there's a chance youre at a very high risk, meaning anything could happened like the price of token you bought could be go high or low, or also cannot be listed unless you've invest on an IEO. On the other hand, if you buy on an exchange and started to trade there, youre safe cause the token youve bought has liquidity but dont expect too much anything can goes wrong on a project. So better pick a good exchange to buy tokens.

[light22man]

For me better to buy from exchange because from that what I see recently almost 80% of the project after listing on exchange trading at the  price below ICO price

It is best at the moment to buy tokens through IEO and through IEO which are conducted on the most popular exchanges and then you will be constantly in profit and you will not lose anything, just as if you want to invest in any company that conduct ICO, then it is better of course wait for the moment when this company will list its token on some exchanges and then you can buy tokens at least in several times cheaper, I always doing in this way and always making profit.

Buying from an exchange after listing is smart but waiting all the time for a coin to get listed before purchasing does not work out all the time because not all the coins experienced a fall in price after listed although majority do. If a project is found to be promising with all the capabilities of becoming huge in the future, joining the early bird sales which normally offer incredible discounts could be a smart way to purchase the tokens.

At the current ICO situation, it's better to buy it in an exchange where it is lower 50 to 90%, and on the token sale, you still don't know if the dev will run away or they will not going to list it in their exchange, but be sure that if they are going to buy it it should be on good exchange.

True, there are currently too many projects so many fail to reach the target, many ICOs look promising by giving bonuses up to 90% then becoming a scam, buying on an exchange is certainly safer.

[suhadi88]

Any questions I think are interesting? I personally depend on the results of the examination or research. I see that the situation is different and many projects have failed. Failure of the token sale and those already on the exchange may also suffer failures.

I personally focus more on the purchase of tokens already listed on the exchange. However, I will buy tokens listed on larger exchanges like Binance.

[mendra_2009]

Depends on its hype, I will see the hype first before buying their tokens. Most people right now prefer buying at the public exchange, so I prefer but at the public exchange too. But I only choose the reputable exchange before buying the tokens. You can decrease the risk if you buy from reputable exchange...

[Dr.Osh]

I bought tokens several times after they appeared on the exchanges and the participants of the bounty company began to sell them at a low price, and then the price increased several times and I found myself in a big profit. That was the least risk I had of losing my money. It is not known what the ICO will end and whether I will be able to return my money, and losses on the exchanges are minimized.

Well, it all depends on the type of project. You can profit if you are patient. in the current ICO problem, it might be quite profitable when you buy at the pre-sale, because there are quite a lot of bonuses. it's just that, the main problem, in this case, is when listing in a particular market, the price of coins always decreases.

In terms of IEO, I have seen the benefits that come when buying during pre-sale. this is specifically for sales in popular markets such as binance, and several other popular markets. this will be profitable when you buy in the pre-sale because some projects that do IEO on binance have very high prices when listing.

[yazher]

It depends on the project and who is the manager if they have a bounty,
in my opinion, if it is someone like Hhampuz or yahoo then that token or coins have some potential
to grow. base on the past project that they promote.

depends with the project buddy
if the project is good, i think its better to buy at token sale stage, because the price is cheaper 
but, if the project seems fishy, its better to wait, until a good sign coming to the project, when the project already tradeable on exchange
regards

[forexandcryptoauditor]

From my point of view and looking at the current situation, I prefer to buy at exchanges. During token sale the price is high and also if we buy at exchanges, we get time to know about the project. Until listing or even after 2-3 months of listing, we can surely identify if any project is genuine or not.
There are two advantages. Price is low and risk is also low investing in project once its get listed on exchanges.

both of these methods have advantages and disadvantages of each. I agree with your advice, the main thing is the analysis of a project, if you want to achieve greater profits, then you must dare to take greater risks if we buy it at tokensale

  I think the best way to invest is to buy when they are listed in the public exchange / market at a low price. Because the coins listed are all potential coins. They are of great interest to many people. And the exchanges they see the value of those coins. So such an investment is much safer
