Why many people selling asap below ICO price when the token/coin listed on Exchange.
If they can sell below ico price why they buy it from ico ?!
when you buy coin/token from some ico, do you have trust in them ? i saw many ico listing below ico price.
Price = 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 ico price.
No one can take a profit except the ico owner. They have all ethereum and don't do anything ? not scam but don't do anything.
Where is the future of ico ?

most of the time, investors are not selling their token below ico price, they tend to wait for their investment to have a profit first before they sell, bounty hunters are probably the one who sell immediately even if the price of a certain altcoin is below ico price.

Usually bounty hunters do that, they want to cash out or investors who are disappointed in results or may be people just need money right now.

Sell below those investors who purchased project tokens on special offers or with large bonuses. Otherwise, why should investors sell at a loss? This is not logical.

People sell because they're cutting their losses and getting out whilst they can. 99% of ICOs are just pump and dumps to enrich either the creator or the very first investors and once everyone starts cashing out that obviously has a knock on effect and down goes the value. People really need to start understanding the norm of ICOs because 99% of them are the same and follow the same pattern. I wouldn't bother with the majority of them and just wait for the right one that actually offers something that you can get behind long term and those are the ones you should be trying to back, not just another pump and dump scheme.

People are selling below ICO price because at the end of the day, they will still make their money, most of them are given huge bonus and when they sell below the ico prices, their bonus will still cover for the lost, also bounty hunters are factors too, they can sell at any given price.

I think it may be because of not knowing all the details or just a lot of people do not want to take risks, or just stopped believing in this project. It's just a lot of people are starting to panic.

Do you mean bounty hunters? If you mean bounty hunters, they sell their tokens because they need money, but if you mean investors, I think they sell bonus tokens that they get from pre sale, I also think they sell tokens below ico prices to manipulate the market.

Maybe they sell their coins because they insist on needing money so selling coins is the last choice to do. If they don't sell coins because it is urgent maybe because they have analyzed that the coin will not provide a good future so it is better to sell to invest in other sectors. You can also invest in buying other coins that are more potential than experiencing greater losses. But if I personally will be patient with the price of coins that are still below the ICO and do not sell it in a hurry because the coin whose price is still below the ICO means that the process is still adjusting to market conditions.

It's not surprising, usually a bounty hunter to sell below the price of the ICO. And because of that currently a lot of ICO giving the reward for the bounty hunter with a long period of time. The reason is so that the price of a token does not fall.

I was forced to sell a token when the price was still below the ICO price because it was disappointed with the performance of the project development team.

I think one of the variables that is enough to determine the price of a token is where a token is released. But of course this will return to success at ico, because to register on a large exchanger requires a large fee. It's strange when the price of tokens is far below ico's price, but this is the crypto world, that we will never get any warranty, including from the developer.

I think there is not much that the developer can do for now, because the market continues to fall, and maybe the Ethereum they have is not in line with the range they expect. But of course a good project remains potential, because if the market hype returns, maybe the developer will start to get involved in pumping up prices. So if the project is really good, maybe a cheap price is an opportunity.

Yes, they are too quick to sell the coins and sold below the price of ICO. I think they need the money and was forced to sell the coins. And it has a lot going on, most people regret having sold the coin too quickly.

Yes, you are absolutely right up to some extent but not every ICO investors would sell below ICOs price. Moreover, no one would even love to sell below whatever he/she purchased during the ICO but condition may warrant at times. Some people would need their which they already projected it won’t last more than the moment and they have no any other options from any other angle of the world, so the best option for them could be selling whatever they have at that moment to get what they need. That’s why you see people selling below what they purchased, no one would be pleased with such act in any way. My opinion, though

Maybe the got in the ICO with a bonus and so it's not so much of a loss. But nontheless, I think doing that is too risky. I read the other day something about a study that found that something like 90% of ICOs are scams, so maybe it's just the devs smiling in your face while they dump. Don't trust ICOs people.

I think each one has a different situation, because many sources can cause dumps. But the smallest possibility is probably from investors, because of course that is a very strange thing. Maybe this is what makes communication with developers very much needed, because the price of a token should be escorted by the developer in any way according to ability.

That's a good questions, and I sometimes wonder that. Why would someone say invest $1,000 into something, and then go on to sell it for $500. I'm guessing it's the market. They feel that there are better opportunity elsewhere.

For example the alt market it hurting, so it might be wiser to take your money out and put it in Bitcoin.

They are impatient buyer. They just want to get fast profit, don't need to know what is the value ICO project will bring back. But have someone would sell if they see the market is going down, and buy back at lower price to increảs the number of token they are holding.

Maybe not all, but you also have to consider the initial investors who get very large bonuses, or bounty hunters who want to get fast money.
Actually the main problem is current market conditions, because when global coins don't grow, not many communities are interested in buying tokens, even in the best projects.

In my opinion some ICOs offer a 25-50% bonus when you buy their coins in a certain period and also you can get more tokens from referrals so basically they can get more tokens and will profit a lot when it hit the exchanges even without waiting for the ICO price to reach or higher than expected. This is just my opinion.
