Topic: A bad timing to invest in an ICO? What are your insights? - page 3. (Read 883 times)

This is not a good time to invest in an ICO because so many ICO listed below their initial offer price. If you Invests in already proved coins of this market, it will gives you huge returns.

The most stable indicator of the success the ICO have a whitepapers. You can always evaluate his mind the real picture of the project and make the right decision.

This is the cheapest price you will get most tokens of good projects for the rest of this year. So grab as much as you can because form here it will be a bull run

In my opinion, now is just a very good time for investing if you have dollars, but selling digital assets to buy other digital assets is a silly occupation, since the whole market is in the lower position and it's easier to buy assets precisely for dollars and euros. But this is my personal opinion which may be incorrect in the framework of other arguments.

I think that everything is not so bad and it's worth to be perhaps a little more attentive to ICO in which you take part, but as always a lot depends on both luck and intuition...

Thanks for your kind warning and I can make more money with this.

You are right.
No one knows what will happen after few days)

Bear market was never a good timing when it comes to investing because you wont have any assurance and gains with the bear market,the investors are too scared to put their money to these new projects that is why most of the ICOs are postponing or moving their ICO sales to the next month,so prevent the bear market madness.

A month ago, you could double/triple your investment right after end of the ICO. Now, with the market crush, this is very risky. But if you are going to hold tokens, why not?! And I'm talking about solid ICOs, of course. Most of the other, which are generally worthless crap, doesn't even deserve attention.

It is an interesting thought, and one that has had varying consequences for investments I have made. Some problems I envisage (or have experienced) with using this tactic are:

1. If it is an ICO that you are passionate about and really believe in the project, how disappointed would you be if it hit the markets at way above the ICO price. Figures generally don't take into account the bonuses and incentives that were included if investing in the ICO, even most of the review sites put the ICO price at an average price of all ICO rates when calculating the return.

2. Some coins I have been interested in end up on exchanges that I have no intention of using, making accessibility for purchasing more difficult.

3. If you really have confidence in the project, then a drop when it releases on the exchanges should not be too worrying. As someone mentioned above, there will always be investors, and especially those that got coins/tokens for free (with no real interest in the project), that are just looking to offload it as soon as it hits the exchanges.

On the flip side, one thing worth watching on ICOs you are investing in is the ratio of demand and supply. High demand ICOs 'should' continue that demand beyond the token sale phase, and theoretically see a rise in value once they list on exchanges. If a project that you personally see as a game changer is struggling to hit their targets, then it could be worth waiting till it lists, as the market has obviously not recognised it's potential yet (or you are wrong  ).

 

I think its better to just trade during the introduction of coin in the exchange, the coin suddenly dumps its price lower than the price they offer during the ICO. ive noticed that there will always come a time for a coin when it will lose its value. In just few months after the introduction, the value already dump its price. All coins value is dependent on bitcoins value.

this! i think too, it's more important and will pay off to spend time&resources on finding the RIGHT ico to invest in, than spending the same energy on the right timing..

I don't know, but investors will invest less money in ICO projects that have fixed price in USD. It is quite different things when you buy tokens with price $ 0,5 per unit when ETH price is $ 500 and $ 1200.

You will never find the best time to invest. It is either too late already to buy (when the prices are really high) or the market just seems dead as now. Don't wait until the right time. It will never happen. And then you will suffer from FOMO.

ICOs are very challenging to invest in because its almost impossible to tell which one will succeed and which one will not, i don't think the timing of investment matters a lot, but the choice of an ICO you are investing in is very crucial, if you chose wisely based on the project plan, then there are chances that you will get returns

Why so? Now ETH price and other coins price is down, so to invest in ICO is now very profitably. Why? Because soon all coins will grow back in price. same was last summer.

Anyway all the ICO who have finished product can have x10-100 so i think no difference when invest.

I'm really worried that the overall capitalization of the market is practically not growing and this is a bad sign, especially when compared with last year's huge increase

I think so too especially if the ico coins are pegged against is dollars and not at the price of ether .It would be better to let of pre sales and wait for the markets to correct and invest in the public sale

The main reason behind it is the biggest crash of this year in this market and already established coins are available at very low price from its peak this year and people are buying them instead of new ICO's because they have to prove their quality.
