It's better if they avoid low volume and less reputed exchanges in the beginning because it reflects a project's standard and future.
I think HitBTC would be ok for a new coin, They have a good population and people dont just dump there like they usually do on Etherdelta.
they dump everywhere, but hitbtc really is a lot better than etherdelta.
after ICO all project dumping because some of small investors and bounty holder selling token, i think they don't know future opportunities. i think everyone should hold soma token because soma platform will be very profitable when people use platform for selling products so token holder can buy with tokens also token holder can take commissions. i just observing my point of view. that's all.
yeah and you are right especially the last month was a hard time for ico projects but its a sign of strenght as well - ill hodl soma cuz i belive its a long runner
