Topic: Buying in early or after a listing? (Read 318 times)

Neither is better than the other, both have their own risks & profit opportunities, for example, tokens that are not yet listed on CEX, do have a higher profit level if the token is later listed on CEX. Likewise, if the token is already listed on CEX, it means that CEX considers the token to be a safe token, and we will definitely only have a smaller chance of making a big profit.

If the presale has a bonus stage, it's going to be a money grab / rug pull and fundamentals for it are going to be bad. And that i say from experience. There's really not a good reason for bonus stage to exist, and if it has referrals on top of it, it's resembling more and more a common ponzi.

Main reason people should buy it before it get listed is that marketcap is usually very low at that point, but depending on the issuance rate and marketcap at the time, it can already be overvalued, and if it has a bonus stage, then those involved are trying to flip it with profit soon after listing. At that point, if it's overvalued, there will not be enough liquidity to get profits.

It is possible to make huge profits through investments using effective and various new strategies. But not everyone can do it.  Early investment is really very profitable and many people use his strategy and because of his luck invest in some projects and make huge profits. If you want something good, you must take risks. Those who are willing to take those risks eventually get a lot better. But if you can't take risk then you can never gain anything good. so those who have the ability can make early investment in the upcoming projects.

Since they are both risky to do as investors, I would prefer to buy after listing because for sure the price will fall even more, and if I see a high market cap and large volume in daily trade,
I will wait for a retracement then I will wait for the right opportunity to buy before pulling back again.

But of course I will not buy if the liquidity of their coins is too low, we should always be in liquidity with large volume so that our investment capital is not wasted.

If the token has good potential, then accumulating before getting listed on exchange is better than buying the token after it gets listed.
There's a lot of perks buying on the presale. The presale has a bonus stage, like you can have 20 to 30% if you bought in the first round of token sale, its different when it gets listed on exchange; you have to rely on the sell price of those who bought it first, usually they are selling a portion of what they bought in the presale for profit.

Really confusing since there are instances that once you buy those tokens at early sale you can get some profits if you sell it when listing happens, there's also some instances that once the token been listed on the market the price of this tokens goes up.

That's why its hard to determine on which one of this option where going to choose since it somehow hard to commit on things especially if we are doubting.

So with these things bothering our mind if we really want to invest with these tokens I guess we should better put the amount we can afford to lose and grab the opportunity to possibly gain if they can afford to risk their money on some tokens out there.

Choosing the best time to buy a token can be confusing because you never know how profitable or how long it'll be profitable before it starts to dump. You can buy on presale and it'll be dead on arrival after it's launch, that is if it gets listed and if it's in a reputable exchange. You can choose to be on the safer side and buy after it gets listed and miss out on the benefits of buying during presale. If it's a coin/token that has potentials, then it's better to buy during presale, but the question mark is how to know a project that has potentials. If you as an investor knows how to diligently DYOR then presale will be a better option if you're satisfy about it's potentials.

Yeah, asking questions about what kind of return we would have based on whatever is a question that is hard to answer. I mean you could ask any type of it, like "should I buy X coin now?" and put any coin instead of X and we wouldn't know, if we did then we would have been rich. That is why we shouldn't really be considering anything similar to this, we should be considering how to get better results on the long run. Forget about asking what kind of move you should make, because anything could work, that's just how it is.

You could buy early and make a profit, you could buy in early and make a loss, you could buy after listing and make a profit, you could buy after listing and make a loss, all of them are all possible, so we don't know, it depends on the project.

by conducting analysis first, that is what needs to be considered, although the initial investment can be profitable, sometimes it is also detrimental by entering it, of course they have considered all of that from the start, because of the benefits and risks that will be faced, of course by thinking about an effective strategy, maybe that can be a way out to get profit.

The higher your risk, the higher your profit.

Investing on token before it gets listed in an exchange is better and gives more profit than buying as at listing because when the coin gets listed, its price movement will be monitored and it will surely follow Bitcoin price movement trend to pump, while if it is not listed, it means it is not well recognized and the team can pimp the project well to attract investors before it get listed.

It is safer to invest a coin that is listed in centralized exchanges, but the profit will be smaller unless you hold for long.

Knowledge is very important before throwing your money not unless that you are just okay in sending or putting your money and just hoping for luck to come up and back you up and bring decent profits, with those so many assets that showing from time to time it's very important to take time researching what potential the asset will have to offer there's should be something that may gain interest from other investors that may spark the value of the project, it's your own will that will manifest after doing your research and comes up with conclusions that you are willing to take the risk.

There's only two possible outcome on whether you will really be able to make huge profits or will really be able to lose that investment amount on which we know that not all projects do ends up on getting listed
and if it does then it goes lower into its initial or ICO value and leaving its presale investors on huge negatives. If it turned out that it did make out some good community support and some whales is starting to
deal on with on the time that it gets listed then it will really be something that brings up that huge profit on your part and thats really the beauty on investing early on which you do able to get the cheapest price as possible. There are even those people who do really wait up for some price decrease or correction before they will really be able to make up some purchase.

This is why investing on crypto is never been that easy yet in every decision you would be making will really be that needing up that kind of risks taking and its not something that will really be giving out guarantees
when it comes to success or profitability. It all matters with your research and knowledge on investing on a particular project which does have potential or not. Also, having a mix of bit of luck
will really be something relevant when dealing up with crypto investment because even with those projects that doesnt have utility do make out some pumps on which leaving out some questions
in mind on how the heck this project flew?

Investment in early is very profitable but also huge risky. There are thousands of token listings in the market, from there which token will do well in the market and no one knows that the price will increase many times from their price or other cell prices, so you have to invest with risk early if both the forehead and the prediction do a good job. It is possible to make a big profit from the investment and there are many chances of losing all the investments. So those who are able to accept such losses can invest early

If you know in advance a token or coin that will be listed on a large cex, it is better to buy early because the potential price increase will be much more significant, but information like this is very rare and only a small number of people only know about it before the announcement is made by the media from the exchange or from the project developer, if they say it would be very good, it's just not easy to happen, and the information is tightly closed so that only a small number of people know before the announcement is made, but even so, it will be very difficult and we will not know whether it is according to our predictions or not, speculating and just guessing it will be listed on large markets.

What you're saying still revolves around the issue of faith the early person talked about. The uncertainty in most of these altcoins is significantly enough to not be able to analyze the coin that will pump or dump. As a matter of fact, most altcoins projects end up as dust.

My advice is one should not put in all their money into a pre-listed coin especially when they've not done any thorough research on the reputation of such project and do not have an informed knowledge about the listing price and it's Potential ATH.

Faith? That would not help you make the right pick, like i said, you just have to go with one of the options and hope that you are lucky with your decision, that is altcoins for you. Analysis might help sometimes, but more often that not they are wrong when you want to use it to select an altcoin. A lot of them are pump and dump coins, a lot of them start well, but along the way turn out to be a scam, etc; you just have to gamble and that's that.

The difficulty in determining the right token to buy is what has led many to losses in most cases and after that, also, luck is an important factor because as I mentioned in my earlier comment, no matter how good you are in your analysis of the token market, you may not be able to accurately predict what will happen to most tokens because cryptocurrency market is filled with so many unexpected changes and crisis a d some of this challenges may likely come unexpectedly and at that point, the token holder will not have choice but to play and accept the reality.

If it's token on any EVM chain/Solana/Stellar/Tron/etc — you can buy on chain's respective dexes with token's contract address (provided token is transferable and there is sufficient liquidity).

Sometimes, CEXes announce some old tokens to get them one last push before delisting them; I also consider this a lost opportunity due to knowing fully well that the exchange wants to get a buck and the volume on the X coin or token.
But do many projects allow to buy before listing itself?

Before listing on exchange(s) is right time to buy. If token has reached cex, I consider it a lost opportunity, and would refrain to invest in it.


Tokens that will make to an exchange will give you amount of profits that will cover for the tokens that didn't make it to an exchange.

To be successful in in this hunt — you will require research, experience and luck.
