Topic: Buying in early or after a listing? - page 2. (Read 318 times)

Yes, you can consider all of that from the start, and it is a wise choice to first monitor the coins you want after the pre-market, without rushing, it is a process to assess in order to know for the future, I think it is the right step to buy after there is progress or movement, that is important.

Yes, investing in the token and being one of its early holders, which you bought at low prices, is the decision that will bring you great profits if the tokengets listed on T1 exchanges. However, this of course does not conflict with the risk that you will face if the token is not listed on CEX and ends up being a rug pull.

If you take a look at a large number of these newly created projects in the market, they often promise listings, but no one can really verify their credibility in the end. If you want to invest what you can afford to lose and try your research to ensure the integrity of the project and the token you investing in, you are free to proceed with this, I believe that once coins get listed on CEX, interest in them tends to decrease, and they are often dumped heavily, as investors turn their attention to other coins.

If it was known in the first place then we would be all rich person by now but thats now how reality works on which it will really be that definitely be basing up on different factors because not all project launches
do become that successful and come in mind that not all projects are the same on which there are those who do have that good utility or something beneficial to human kind and there are those projects which are really just that copy cats and dont actually give out relevant use in terms of its use case on which you could be able to make up some comparison in between projects but of course this isnt a solid indication for a project to succeed. Adding up with community support and some hype on which this is also that important because if its really that being backed with a good community then you do expect that whales would really be also be trying to get in and if it happens then we do know that this is something which is really that an advantage. In the question in regarding buying in early or after listing then it will really be that coming up into your own preference
since not all would really be risk takers when it comes on buying in presales specially into those investors who do have that bad experiences towards it because not all presales become successful. So it will really be that some sort of a gamble i should say when trying out to invest on presales but of course it will really be just that still depending since not all will really be having that kind of situation and there are still projects who do able to fly and gets listed. You wont be able to know unless you do try.

It all depends on the analysis and factors in mind.
If a person did all of this and had faith - he would buy the token or a coin.
If not - he would skip it and mourn what was lost due to the factors not playing in his favor.

Since you cannot predict the future and only in hindsight can you know if the decision you took was the correct one or not, i think you basically just have to do one of the two and see what happens. If you buy a token early, it might not list, it might even turn out to be a scam, if you buy a token after listing, you might buy just when the early investors are selling and you end up being a bagholder. These are the risks in investing in altcoins and you must bear them if you decide to buy altcoins.

Even on the older tokens, there are still risks too, though yeah that the quality of risk can also depend on some other factors like you said there. Exchange partners doesn't really matter I think, I mean there are crap coins that are still listed on a big exchange like for example Binance and then few days later they can still dump hard. After a pre-sale, there are investors on it that will dump their cryptos after it gets listed and that is why the price usually dumps but sometimes it can still recover eventually. Another risk of buying earlier is that the project may not get listed anymore. So I think for me, I'd rather buy late/later but more surer.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Doesn't mean that it doesn't have a risk to buy after the listing, but that doesn't mean that buying early would make sense. Do not invest into anything that binance hasn't listed is a good idea, buying the day they get listed is usually decent, because within a week it will peak, but you need to be quick, don't buy on the fourth day of listing, that won't be good, buy within the hour, and you will see it growing more and more.

If any ever reaches double, get out, get out quickly, but even with 50% profit just get out if you can. That way, you do this every time binance lists something, and you are going to probably make money, not all the time because some just straight go down if they distributed too much airdrop.

SLERF just got listed on Binance after spending more than 8 months on Bitget, which offers the community a donation of the SLERF trading fees every week. Other tokens the alt has had awesome foresight for earlier include ACT, PNUT, BAN, and GOAT. All these coins have had good growth potential, promising great profits for their users. So, in my opinion, it'll be good to position yourself on platforms like that with a reputation for early listings.

Both have its risk so you must accept it before you decides to choose one of them. But for me, it is more risky to buy before the listing because there is no guarantee the tokens can increase although we see some tokens can rise after listing at the market. But if you still want to try, you can do that and see how good your lucky with that token.

But if you buy after listing, you have more chances to investigate the token's project so you will know the image of the token and the project. You can check at the market how the token movement and how the community. Maybe you will see something strange after the token so that can be your consideration to buy the token.

There is always a risk in buying new tokens. I think it will depend on our ability to analyze and choose good tokens. We can probably also see it in terms of partnerships with exchanges discussed in the project group.
You must have also seen how there are new tokens that have just been listed on the exchange and are traded, the price immediately falls even below the pre-sale price. that is a loss.
Buying during the pre-sale or before the token is traded on the exchange has the advantage of bonuses that may be given by the project. So they will get a cheaper price. But there is still a risk that the price may not be by our expectations.

As for me, I would hardly advise someone to purchase a token before it is listed because of the serious risks it involves. Honestly, if someone is lucky enough to pick the right project to invest in before it is listed, it can result in huge profits. However, the truth is that it is not easy to find such projects.

I have a friend who likes purchasing tokens before they are listed. From the experience I have gained from his side, it can be bad when someone doesn't have enough money to continue buying different ones. For example, someone may purchase ten tokens before they are listed, but it is possible that only one or two will perform well when lucky.So, for me, purchasing tokens after they are listed carries less risk because you can do proper research before investing. Even then, some investments can still yield reasonable profits.

both the two options are risky but when you consider which is more risky, buying a token before it has been listed is more risky due to a lot of obvious reasons. chances that it might not end up being listed is on the one hand and some of these project dumps immediately they have been listed while some might even take ages before chances of seeing returns shows up.

if you have the means of mining or getting some fraction of a token before it get listed maybe in the form of an airdrop,  that's a good way of taking some risk that's not actually all that risky because you didn't buy the token with your money. anything that involves buying a coin with your money should be something you are sure has an high tendency of doin well in the long run and not something you are rushing into without an assurance that you are investing in a right thing.

Both have no guarantee that you could make money with your option given, but you will get more chance to gain when the token is not listed yet on exchange and bought it on their presale since there's a chance for you to acquire their token at cheapest price or get bonus as early adopter compare if you bought their token when they are been listed already and the price of their token already experience a bad dump.

Although there's a chance that a pump will came when they are listed since we already see several of these tokens made that but to many risky to do this especially that we know there are lots of it are just a pure scam.

As someone inexperienced in pre market trading, I had mixed results with it since I participate in free distribution of those coins before listing. I got lucky with a few projects, but I also missed plenty of chances when I hesitated and ended up buying after the listing when the prices were already pumped, and I must say it’s the most bad feeling you can have when you see the price is continusily pumping while you already sold after listing. Pre market definitely has the potential for big profits since you essentially getting in at a much lower price. But as your friend pointed out, there is also the risk of the token never getting listed or its price crashing right after listing beside the scammy ones.

Buying after the listing feels safer to me, especially when the token is on a top exchange like Binance or Bybit, but the entry point is often much higher. I seen how tokens like PNUT pumped 17x after listing too, and while it sounds great we can’t ignore timing it is tricky, you can get stuck buying at the top during the hype, not knowing when it gonna stop or when it will go higher.

From my perspective, pre market trading works best if you can research the project thoroughly and have confidence in its listing plans. Otherwise, waiting for the listing might be a better option especially if you more risk. It all comes down to observing the potential profits against the risks. For me Im still figuring it out but I will love to hear more strategies if anyone has tips on handling premarket opportunities better.

Your friend made some great points and honestly, both strategies of buying before or after a listing have their pros and cons.

Buying before a listing can definitely offer bigger profit potential, especially if the token gets picked up by a top exchange like Binance, Bitget, or Bybit. For example, tokens like PNUT saw massive gains (17x in this case) after listing. But, as your friend pointed out, it’s a gamble. There’s always the risk that the token doesn’t get listed or doesn’t perform as expected.

On the flip side, buying after a listing is less risky. A top exchange listing often boosts a token’s visibility and trading volume, which can lead to solid gains. However, the upside might be smaller since early buyers have already positioned themselves. That’s my take

Risk involved in investing in new coins are just so high, either you invest in a coin before it’s listed or you invest after it’s listed, the both is risky, but I will say investing in coin before it’s listed has the high risk. There is chances of making huge amount of money, but also their is chances of losing a lots, so even if anyone will be investing in a new project, then they should allow it to be listed first, they should allow it to be stabilized before investing. I won’t really recommend anyone to invest before it’s being listed on exchange.

I think you only see what is happening around the surface of coin listing and came with this conclusions but there is much to it. If you buy a coin before listing, it has its own advantage and also buying after listing has its own advantage as well.

You can buy a coin before listing and enjoy the initial pump to enjoy the profit but just like you say the coin might not end up getting listed, that can happen if the project isn't back by serious team or teams that has connection to list on good exchange and if the team has a good relationship with the exchanges and has what it takes to list on those exchanges, you might not have the chance to get all the coins because the team might not give you everything to sell at once so you don't have to dump it.

Buying before listing has its own advantage but make sure you are buying without vesting that is, your coins does not come with a condition that will lock some of your coins. If you are buying a coin that has been listed, make sure you are buying when the price is low, that's your perfect short to buy and hold. The only difference between this and initial listing is that this one you have to wait and hold until you make a good profit.

I think your friend was right. Buying the token after listing is much safer. It's better than gambling on your profit before token listing. I bring you a chart. I took it from Memefi. It's listed on many big exchanges, but it fell sharply after listing.

The token's profitability depends on various metrics. These metrics are : fairness of the distribution, market cap, circulating supply, total holders, token vesting, and many more.

Any token have different metrics that would affect is profitability.



Meme token like Pnut was growing from the small mcap to the big mcap. It's also having fair distribution, which is not being diluted by entities who hold lots of tokens. that potentially disturb the market.

Anyone who wants to invest must buy it from the market. There's no pre-sale or early investment that could prevent the price to go up.

It depends on the coin/token and the project behind it. Before anyone makes up their mind to invest in a cryptocurrency, they need to do their homework, analyze the project and the team behind it, make sure it has enough followers and people interested in the project, and make sure that the ones showing interest are actual people and aren't fake followers and hype creators. Once you do this, you will come to know whether a project is good or not.

When you do that and conclude that the project is good and has great potential, there is no harm in buying their coin or token before it gets listed because you would know that it is going to get listed for sure. However, if you realize that a project doesn't have that spark in it, never invest before it gets listed, wait for it to get listed, and then if you see it drop significantly, then you can take the risk of investing a small amount only to try your luck.

Investing in a project before it gets listed without being completely sure whether it is a good project or not is like gambling.

Which is better than the way that is your option, of course, buying a coin before the listing on the stock exchange is much better, especially if you get A1 information from the developer who runs the project is much better because you will get important information to be conveyed as advice in and go out.
