IPOs?
Do you think that IPOs are for everyone? I do not think so, while ICOs, in the year 2017 were for everyone, also retail investors earned a lot here. Why it is not profitable these days? Because bear market, but as soon as market sentiment changes, you can expect another ICO boom.  Cool

IPOs must be fully regulated and they are by far not for everyone. That's the huge difference when it coms to ICOs. At the latest on the secondary markets everybody can participate.

in my opinion the IPO cannot be used carelessly by people. because the IPO is still closed, and of course we all know that the ICO can be used by many people, and until now many have chosen ICO, so I think the IPO with ICO is very different.

Lyft, Pinterest, Zoom, Uber… these are the big names went to IPOs recently.
It seems IPOs are roaring back, especially compared with the freezing winter for ICOs. Shall I invest in these initial offerings? If so, how?

Where do you see the edge? If you will only look for trust, I can say that it is good to invest in STO and IEO. These coin offerings are really good because you don't have to seek for their exchange listing since they are regulated by government and exchange. But if you want to risk for a good profits, stick for ICO projects.

Look at the market now - it is very unstable! Even large popular stock exchanges do not guarantee you that the prices of tokens will not start falling at the start of sales. I would not advise to invest in new projects now, among the old ones you can find promising projects that have fallen greatly in price!

I think IPO is quite better because ICO was just recently replaced by IEOs an its performing better now. IEOs are doing great and has a bright future.
IPO dead and can you even say it's better than ico? it looks so werid to see you are saying that and how much developers are interested in created ico rather than ipo right now? none of them even interested to created it and do your deep research for that dude.

said who is the IPO dead? The IPO is still there, and I think IPO is better than ICO that is filled with scammers. Although the IPO is not intended for everyone, I think it's quite good because only good investors can buy it.

Do not compare the IPO and ICO, the two fundraisers are different, the ICO is fundraising which previously did not have trust, while the IPO was fundraising from companies that already had trust.

Either IPO or ICOs, my advice for you is to do a very good research before you invest your hard earned money because people are getting rekted in IPO too, so doing your research will help you know whether it is worth investing in or not.

For me I rather wait for the coins or tokens to be safely out for trade in exchanges before I buy them
But remember will you try to buy a coin that already traded more than 4x from the ico price? i thought that if you will not try to buy it. This time people are putting all of their attention to the ICO/IEO. Remember IEO gave the same guarantee like what will you get when you are trying to buy from exchange site.

Remember a good investment portfolio is always diversified. Investing in just one sector could lead to high profit sometimes while high loss in others. If you invest in a multiple of sector, lose from one could be covered from profit from other. So, select the best of them and invest in everything be it stock, bonds, debentures, mutual funds, hedge funds or crypto.

I think IEO is a better option ICO and IPO have a lot of scam, nowadays you can easily fish out an IEO for potential scam unlike ICo where you don't know if it's real or not.

It is not about one over the other, it is about honesty. If here is an honest team behind an IEO or ICO, both options can go well.

Maybe if I were you I would choose an IPO instead of ICO, yes now ICO is better known as a scam and not a few of the ICO projects failed. IPO has a small percentage as a scam, because the company that launched the IPO means that it has had a real project before.
But if you like startup companies, it's better to add the IEO to your list and not participate in the ICO.

Haven't you considered IEO to your lists? IPO is still better from ICO but if i were you, just to be wise to your investment, I would rather choose IEO. Do not be influenced by some companies who chose IPO, the importance is the assurance of a particular investment. IEO will be on my first choice. But if you want to have an old and established projects, go for IPO.

Why ask us? It's completely up to you. I'm pretty sure it's not as easy to invest in an IPO though, as you'd have to register with a brokerage firm as far as I know. The process probably depends on what country you're in.

ICOs though? I don't think ICOs should even be considered nowadays.

I don't consider investing in ICO either, ICO is hurting because of too many scams and developers are abusing bounty hunters and investors, gone are the days when real developers are doing crowdfunding using ICO, now so many anonymous scammers launching dubious projects and employing fake people.

IPOs are a great to go, although I have quited the stock exchange market for a while because of the bad situation and manipulation by the big players, I was actively participating in most of the IPO. I think it's better to invest in IPO, specially when there's IPO like Uber.

I don't think this is the right place for the discussion.

Either you chose investing in IPO's or ICO's at the end of the day one thing is needed for sure, and that is if you have done your research on the projects that you are interested in. You should have known that anything that involved investment should be researched because there are many factors to be considered your investment will be profitable, specially in the crypto market where as of now there are a lot things that can end the project.

To invest or not to invest is always up to you. The question that you should be asking here is are these projects good enough to become worth investing or is there any project you can suggest you should be worth more than these. But if you think these projects are good enough for you then why not?

Should or should not invest - it's up to you to decide. Think with your head.
And how to make an investment, you can, as a rule, read on the website of the project you are interested in (or find a tutorial in their social networks, or ask them in the chat).

Everybody should know him or herself but still you can think that giving your opinion can have value. This is a project that is interesting, but investing more time is always worth the time.

It depends, do you know anything about investing? Have you researched those projects and did your due diligence? Do you have the right mentality and are willing to wait for a few years for your investments to give you profits? Are you willing to lose money in those investments if things do not turn out as expected? If you can answer to all of those questions positively then you could invest in those projects otherwise I will recommend that you do not do it.

When it comes to investment it isnt really bad to ask from others but basing on the question its clear that which one is really worthy to be tried
for IPO's it isnt really that easy to invest and we all know that for now ICO's are going instinct due to IEO existence. lol

ICOs are recently taken oven by IEOs. IEOs are performing too good these days also. IPOs are more regulated then ICOs and there are lesser chances of scam involve.

Well, yes, and this aligns the entire market quite well. Look at the market going to the top. So you can say about this. I am in charge of conducting such projects.

I think better joined and invest your money in ICO than IPOs because many ICOs have higher price after listing at great exchange market and you will know which one the best investment kinds for your assets.
The IPO is really not something too hot and ICO is the same. now I am only interested in IEO projects supported by large exchanges like Binance, Huobi or Okex. all will make rich investors buy a token. But the amount that we have to hold is huge. That is a big cons.
but if we want to be safe, we can invest in quite good exchange such as IDAX, Coineal, Gate.io, Bibox, ... there, IEO projects are really quite good.

You shall invest in initial offering and you can try to visit cryptorank to get the latest data about how much return that already brought by the latest ico in this year. There was a lot of information about the upcoming IEO or ICO too.
IPO is dead but anytime this will be the year for ICO. Don't invest in IPO but ico or ieo should be your choice.

Your money is your responsibility, you should take your own choice without outsider influences.
IEO is better than ICO i think, why don't you search for good IEO in some exchanges ? Always do your own research before investing.

ICO is not considered good investment these days, most of it are just copycat of another. also it's mostly short term, after u profit in one u need to find another and so on and so on. Better to invest in IPO or STO backed by good company which is IPO with less regulation

The answer is simple.  If you want to avoid possible scam, then choose IPO, at least this is regulated and have legalities in its part.  If you do not care and just wanted convenience then ICO is easier to invest in.  But no matter what your choice is, just make sure to dyor on each option.  Btw, why not look at IEO.  It is much better than ICO in some ways since developers are verified by the exchange  where they will hold their IEO.

Haven't seen an IPO for a long time now because the last time that I saw one is with bitmain and the other ones was during 2016. The time when ICO is starting to boom but IPOs didn't.
Invest if you think if its suitable to you but don't invest if you think its not. IMO, you shouldn't invest with them anymore.

ICOs are not regulated like IPOs. Doing an IPO requires a lot from those businesses. Everything has to undergo due diligence. Literally anyone can do an ICO with utility tokens. Be careful with those.

You need to consider your risk profile before you start considering whether you should invest in some public offering or not. As others said, if you have a low tolerance to risk, and can't risk a lot of money, then probably investing in bonds or mutual funds is a better option. The return might not be that many but it should suit you. You can't get high return without having a big risk, but being greedy won't help you get rich either.

Lyft, Uber and other social media/apps giant definitely has some potential to grow and could give a great return, but there might be up and downs on the road. And who knows if one of them suffer the same fate as Path did.

I think if you are not a risk taker since you are asking it here then probably the best thing to do is to invest not in a project like this that are still on the process of listing it to an exchange. I think it is better to invest in a growing project or even projects that are working already.

don't even begin to compare ICO and IPO. just because they are both "initial blank offering" it doesn't mean they have anything in common. in IPOs there is still some level of legitimacy involved and it is not all scam but an ICO is purely scam and the people creating them don't do any work, they just copy some code and spend a minimum amount of time to create a useless token which they sell for millions! and then they go away for good doing nothing else.

How to buy IPO Stock

As for ICOs, all you really need to do is visit their respective website and follow their instruction.

You risk a lot less with IPOs, considering ICOs are basically IPOs without all the regulatory mess. There might be a handful (and I wouldn't be surprised if there's literally only a handful) of ICOs worth looking into out there, but you're going to have to wade through a lot of shit, making it extremely high risk with low rewards.

Most of the ICOs are like a trade with extreme caution thing now a days, most of them are just used as an scamming setup by con artists.

I think any person investing his/her hard earned money in ICOs would just be called as fool in current days.

IPOs looks like a better option around ICOs, and there are some opportunities for investors to earn good profits with smart investments.

If I need to choose between ICO and IPO investments, I would ofcourse go with IPOs as per the current market.
