Topic: Existing coins or ICOs? Where will you invest? (Read 537 times)

I never invested to ICO tokens though I see some people who invested there successful and some aren't.

I prefer to invest with high rates and tier one coins like bitcoin and ETH but if its about BCH, I don't have anything to say with that coin. Many hates that coin because of their deceptive strategy of calling their coin as the real bitcoin while the true and only one bitcoin, they call it bitcoin core.

recently I stopped investing in ICO because there are so many scam projects. I only invest in top projects

Well, this year has been a bearish year throughout, which affected even most of the tokens and coins listed on exchanges within this period. I believe for those who are smart enough though will be using this opportunity to pick them up as much as possible to get the best with respect to gains in the future. No one knows when market will recover, but whenever it is bound to recover, we had still been here reaping the benefit for those who could see the greatness in the future.

Existing coins or ICOs, they are all on the same path when the market recovers anyway and we cannot say specifically which would be giving the best gains until they start giving it. For what it's worth though, I would really be looking into some of the existing coins recently from ICOs trading below their ICO prices and has dropped hugely in percentage. With the ones with product, it makes it easy for them to really shoot up faster in percentage and in profit as well.

in last 8 month, i was invested in ICO projects, but i think after october market will recover and i trying to invest in ETH or BTC

Now imho lots of hyped tokens can be bought on exchanges even cheaper when they was on ICO) FSN for example) And eth is very cheap) So both ways are quite cheap)

That Totally depends on the current condition of the market, if it is in its recovery phase I would rather choose the icos over the existing coins for an increase in profit but if it is about the bleeding phase or the bear market state then citing coins is the safe bet to make

I do not find solid bases to think that in fact it is better to invest in unknown ICOs, which offer no guarantee since they are generally projects in development without a real product that satisfies a need.

On the other hand, the cryptos recognized as bitcoin or ethereum are a guarantee of profitability and still have a lot of space to grow in the medium and long term, so from the perspective of a conservative investor like me, without a doubt I will always prefer to put my capital in a safe haven as bitcoin, rather than risk it in an adventure without any guarantee as the ICOs are.

Now is the time for ICOs, as the market is being pressured by manipulators but they can't put pressure on ICOs, so people are more willing to invest in initial coin offering.

I personally invest more heavily in coins that are in great rank and have lasted a long time. Maybe just 30% of my investment into the coin under $ 1 and also to ico. But for now I just sit to monitor the market, because the market continues to move unexpectedly and it is difficult to guess.

Actually if you want to make profit now, don't invest in ICO. There so many fact about ICO before, they are potentially scam and lost your money in vain. I suggest you to invest on top coin like bitcoin, ethereum etc. Because they are the best choice according to me now, they will bring crypto back again.

i prefer icos but joining good icos are nearly impossible nowadays. because they request so many things from small investors. not only kyc but also poc etc. and even you give everything they limit you with less than 1 ethereum.

ico investment is very risky you better invest 50% to coins that have a high value and 50% on the coin that has a value of $ 0.07- $ 0.1 because it also has a chance to reach $ 1 in the future

I invest only in well-studied projects, one of them is Yumerium, YUM integrates marketing tools such as referral bonuses or bounty campaigns to attract and engage users.

50% - 50%
I think that both options are good, but investing in good and stablished coins is sometimes much more profitable than investing on ico

totally agree with the way you invest for 70% on ICO and 30% on existing altcoins, since the volitility of market the price still unpredictable i would prefer investing on ICO, but dont just put your money only in one ICO, since it need long term holding to get more benefit.
i did many research on which ICO i should invest, there are good ICO come with great product and supported by expereinced team, but sometimes we found inconsistent rules regarding tokensale that will make FUD

The stable coin means your coin doesn't have any potential to growth more in the future. You must know that the development progress of the stable coin will be more slowly compared with the coin with high volatility. Investing in the existing coin will give the more guarantee to not get scammed by scammer.

I suggest anyone in here to see remme as one of the promising platform in this time. Remme working to increase the potentially do developer a new fork of security measure to protect our data soon.

Coins with large mcap are safer to invest whereas a small mcap coin are riskier but give more profits. Latter has higher chances of multiplying. I would say invest in both type of coins for a safer investment.

Did buy some Block array some time ago,dropped as everything,now planning to buy some more while cheap.Do really believe that could be a game changer in few years

I prefer to invest more in existing and stable coin that have good potentials to yield profit because they can be monitored. Then I will invest little amount in promising icos that I have made thorough research about and I'm convinced that it will be successful. I will invest and hold my potential coin on long term for maximum profit .

I prefer to invest in ICOs or in cheap coins that has potential to grow. All you need to do a thorough research about the projects and the team behind and their roadmaps if they are following on that plan. It's a high risk compared to investing in BTC and ETH but the profits you will gain is much higher than putting your money in BTC and ETH.

both investment is good, IF you invest to existing one you can see the movement of the coin and you have a chance to bought that coin in low price. If you bought a coin during ICO you can have a chance to get a bonus percentage on how much you will buy so both is good timing to invest.

70/30 in favor of ICOs is a little too risky. We would recommend 50/50 or at least 60/40. ICOs might need time to develop their projects and get listed on exchanges so you should have some sort of stable coins while waiting for that to happen. In the long term you can increase the % of your portfolio in favor of ICOs but for the start you should try a more balanced approach.  Most of the people start with around 40-50% in Bitcoin,Ethereum,Litecoin etc, 20-30% in altcoins and 10-20% in ICOs, which we believe is the smartest thing to do when you are a beginner investor. Hope this helps and best of luck !

I prefer coins that have a high enough value but remain stable like Ethereum, Neo, monero and litecoin, but I also see the situation and conditions, if I find a good coin and have a cheap price under $ 1, I would not hesitate to invest in the coin, you must be careful and intelligent to keep an eye on market movements.

Invest in anything you trust and have belief in its potential. For me it is REMME because of the backing project. They are working upon security vulnerability and provides security solution to online businesses mainly exchanges. This can prevent breaches and help in securing data.

If you have the right budget for investment then you should invest in both and diversify but if you have a certain budget for investment, then I’d suggest for you to invest the existing ones rather than the ICO ones because there is no assurance yet that those ICO coins will be successful.

Diversifying is really good and I think if its a good ICO, your money will be worth it.
Choosing to invest on great coins can be more less risk since its technology is already running in the market but of course it better to grab more opportunity in this market than focusing on one technology which is more risky.

In the current market situation, I choose ICO to invest.
I would like to recommend you a good ICO.
Here are some details about the project:

Why Mammoth Platform?
"To date, cryptocurrency has yet to gain mainstream adoption. The last barriers to mass market adoption will be removed when cryptocurrencies become embedded into everyday commerce.

Mammoth PAY vision is to create a globally accessible alternative to traditional banking, allowing you to store your money safely, access it instantly and transact with it anywhere, in any currency including crypto by using the MMT token, right from your smartphone.

In order for users of the MMT wallet to transact in real-time, the Mammoth solution will be integrated into the digital multi-currency wallet. This functionality can only be accessed with a MMT token. The MMT token will be used to pay for the operating cost of setting up the Data channel. Because MMT tokens can change in value, the price per transaction is calculated similarly to how gas prices are on Ethereum.

Data channels are a technique for making off-chain transactions with the same security  guarantees as  an onchain operation. Data channels allow us to conduct blockchain interactions as if they were being conductedon-chain, but require only that two or more users exchange information with each other."

Hope I can give you a look into this project.
Good luck!

ICO phase is done. I'll put money into already released low cap projects.

The idea is so clear if you are very familiar with certain ico project, splitting your investment between quality coins and ICO coins will bring decent earnings only if you are good in assessing the project or also if you are lucky enough to ride with the train coming from that particular ico project, the other side of your investment would be for the long term while with ico you can play it if the value fluctuate really high then you can sell it out and take the benefits.

When you already have enough in Bitcoin or Ethereum, it starts to make sense to invest in low value high risk coins. I've listed my high risk portfolio below but be warned, don't invest anything that you're not willing to lose.

Low value high risk bets:
1. OPC and OPCX - high yield POS staking and masternode coins
2. COLX - undervalued masternode coin
3. IOST - solid project with enormous potential to compete with IOTA

no one can tell exactly which is better, the problem here is if you want for quick money, definitely it will be ICOs. But better watch out for the scams.

If you are investors of these icos, they are only good once the project has just launch. The dumping of token of the investors in the exchange market are going to be massive which make its price to go lower, so you join the bandwagon and panic sell too to get your rewarded profit and not knowing in the future this ICO you have joined in will have its price skyrocketed. That's why ICOs are good for short time only until it has launch its token in the exchange market.

On the other hand, existing coins are already established and have made their positions already in the market. So you have to still weigh things which way are you going to do, the ICOs or the established coins.

The best option is invest in different coins. For sure in perfect wallet should be some high rates coins like ethereum bitcoin, and some with lower price stuff but still in the top 100. In my opinion good % is 50% in bitcoin / ethereum and second 50% in cheaper coins.

It should be good wallet for everybody

Kambria is the first blockchain project to decentralize, democratize, and
radically empower the entire robotics ecosystem.

you can have look on this ico looks very good project, remember to do your won research.

I don’t know how to tell good project from worse, so i seldom invest in ico. And there are cheaper coins which can be traded in exchange, for example, iota BNB xrp. Xrp has not reached $1 yet. So I don’t buy tokens from ico.

I agree with your strategy and i think coins with low market ap and cheap price can grow multiple fold and yield big profits, yes they are risky too but profit can be huge.

if you watch closely to your coins price movements during the bear/bull runs. its like you know what its capable of. and using martingale system you can earn much more than risking your money on icos. but also i always love the possibility of my old coins showing up on binance:))
sys has done it now waiting for radium, game and ubq. come on binance, dont make us sad

Nice one from you,  I split my cash for crypto into 50%, 40% & 10%


50% for solid projects Ico's, 40% for coin with great potential that is  less than $2 remaining  25% for

Choose only high rated ICOs listed on https://icodrops.com and make maximum profits of ICO investments, it's so easy

I always keep a bit of ETH and Bitcoin and about 30% in alts which are low market caps. Usually I see good results over time.

Its the opposite thing is quite good to do with your current investments capital and methods, the thing is they are totally proven to be profitable given by your timing and trading skills, it should fall for the 70% of your investments then the other 30% for the ICO's, majority are still on development and promotion cycle of the roadmap, full analyzation and researching is a must to hit a solid long-term projects, if your going to buy some tokens then consider to wait for the exchange as some of them may drop beyond ICO price.

if i am in your position then i think i would rather divide my funds i on the second that is 50:50. Although investing in ICO gives a big advantage over investing in big coins but now it will be a big risk because too many ICOs are popping up and some of them are cheats.

it's important to diversify your investment. If I had to choose one I would go with high rates coin like btc as they control the market. However, I think that's a bad way to invest your money as you have no back up if market crashes.

For me, I will invest in both. I will invest part of my money in ICO projects that I find convincing and think I can earn reasonable profit from after going through the project, their aims and objectives and the management team. I will invest the remaining part in stable coins on a long term and watch it yield reasonable profits.

I prefer to invest 50 percent of my capital into Bitcoin and ETH. The rest will be divided into ICO and low market cap altcoins from top 100 to 300.

I think an existing coin is better for me cause I don't have much knowledge and experience in investing in ICO project so it's too risky for me when I invested in an ICO project cause I can easily invest in a scam one ). But with an existing coin, I can easily choose good coin by check the list on CMC and just choose coin on top 10 or top 5 on CMC to invest in

I prefer to invest in existing coins. I think it's safer and has a smaller risk of loss than investing in an unclear ICO for the future

I am only investing in existing coin for the moment for a short period. As we don't know if there is going to be a new big correction or not. Also new ICO prices tend to go lower than the ICO price. There may be some exceptions, but it is generally like this.

i do agree...you are doing great with your decision, to not put your money in a single investment. my advise also will bring you to make more than 60% of your money for ICO just do your own research carefully and give deep attention to 3 or 4 ICO for comparison and pick 2 or 1 of them to invest. now is the right time to invest on good ICO, it will return you more than existing coins. and for investment in existing coin i would prefer to buy waves, its just my opinion and advise based on my intuition and i have made some research on it.

I think your way would be good if you invest 50% in more expensive coins like eth, btc and 50% in other coin which price is below e.g. 10 dollars. Of course this coins should be from top 100, then your wallet will be very good

It's not a good thing. I thought that you should try to invest around 20% to the new coin and then the rest to the existing coin at the market. This to minimize your own risk in ico. If that will be traded more than 10x from the ico price and that's generous profit for you. I guess you should avoid to put a lot of percentage in the ico.

I'm holding half BTC, half ETH going to invest 10-20% to ICO. Holding a little MTC and UTT for x100  because of their small capitalization.

I like more to invest in existing coins because they are liquid, i can liquidate or enter positions at will. The thing i found with ICOs is that it is best to purchase after exchange listing as there is usually a dump at the start of trading

I think there is no difference. If you can do an accurate analysis, you can make money from all the cryptocurrencies. The reason is that the main essence of this is to read the news without losing time and to analyze it correctly. The price will change when you are late.
But, non-scam ICOs can earned you a lot of profit than Bitcoin or Ethereum.

I invest 60-70% in coins with low cost, which have a great growth potential, and the rest in top coins.

I prefer reliable investments so invest in coins from the top 10. Investing in ICO is still early, as the market is very unstable and recently almost all tokens after ICO have a lower price than on ICO.

of course I would choose to invest in bitcoin, because when you make a transaction there is no intermediary party or a centralized governing system. Because the nature of Bitcoin transactions is not centralized but is more widely distributed and open in general.

If possible, I advice you to invest in both for better diversity but if the budget you got will not let you do so, and if you will hold long term, I suggest you to invest it on existing coins with potential. Coins that are already out of the market got the potential to grow more in the future, and the risk involved when buying them is less when compared to the new influx of ICO's(considering it has been stable lately in a low price, and isn't moving at all).

I invest in both. Bitcoin and Ether will continue rising in the future and are a safe bet for good return. However if you want much bigger returns (I'm talking never have to work again rich) well then you need to start looking for alternative coins, for example ICO's. If it's better to buy the coins after they reach exchange or invest in the ICO stage I can't tell you since every coin/ICO is different, sometimes cheaper after ICO, sometimes much higher.

I think investing in ICO is risky but the returns are much higher. You should be smart enough to recognise which ICOs will give you good returns like recently I got to know about this ongoing ICO called AGRI by blockgrain.io and they are only 7.5 cents! I'm confident because that is backed by Grain…the only asset that has inherent value throughout history.

I have already picked up big bags in their ICO. You can check out AGRI here: blockgrain.io

I'm not an expert when it comes to predicting prices in the future. We can't really tell when will a particular coin will increase or decrease its value but as what I've noticed right now IOST is really performing well during the past few weeks that I'm in the campaign. I highly suggest that you should hold some of this token for future profit. If you try to look at the chart few days or weeks back you will see a very strong performance of the IOST and still increasing its value.

I think that this token will skyrocket by the end of the year, more likely to go around $2-$3 or more. It's just my own opinion though since I've been monitoring the trend of this token's value. It's not just the value of this token but also the project that it can deliver to the people is so awesome.

I would better advice you to invest 50 percent in coins with high rates, 30 percent in coins with low rates and the rest 20 percent in ICOs. This would certainly yield you a good profit. Just imagine, the coins with high rates are already in a good position in the market and they can grow up strong yielding you a big turn over. Even coins with low rates can bring you decent profits on a long term. But ICOs are 50 50 here. Better to invest more on existing coins as you say then in ICOs. Good luck.

Same step. Always diversify out your money so that if these options are on your mind then you can just simply choose both since you do have the money to spend on and besides you can allocate percentage between two things. Just do the stuffs basing on what you believe and what you learn. Potential big profits on shorterm periods would happen on ICO but when it comes to assurance since its already listed on exchangers then would go into traditional top coins.

I'm with those high rate coins, I hold bitcoin so my answer isn't biased and obvious.
If one decided to invest with cheap coins make sure that you have chosen the proper one. Not all of it has the chance to make good charts in the long run.
Why not invest with 70% to high rated coins as you will not have an headache if it has a future or none?

Which one will you prefer or best to invest? Coins with high rates like bitcoin, BCH, ETH and etc or coins with cheap rated below $1 or in ICO token?

I find its worth investing 70 percent of my capital into ICOs which do have good projects and good teams as well. And invest the rest 30 percentage in top listed coins which are high in rates.

What will you advice?
