I know this would be part of a price speculation thread, but I believe its a logical assumption that the launch on an exchange price will be at least that which is listed on Coinmarketcap.com at the time of launch. We all know that the Yobit price is not official, but psychologically, this has to have an effect on what expectation people will be valuing it at.

I'd be surprised to see the price launch cheaper than that listed on Coinmarketcap.com

Just about every other major ICO (including ETH which had an IOU as well) sees a decline in price at the time but most don't ever decline below ICO prices. Then after those who collect immediately, the price levels off and begins to rise over time. Some try to sell some or all immediately for a short term gain but over time we all know that the coin is going up. How far nobody knows. You can probably sell out for $1 or just over on launch day or chill and drink some wine for a few weeks and sell out at $4 or $5 or ride it for several months and get more. So many decisions Wink

But the one thing that is most likely is that the price will drop a bit below IOU prices initially. Newbies will panic and sell which may cause it to go down more than it needs to.

So the trick is to sell before the newbies do and buy back more after they did. Wink

Ideally. But there is always the risk of it not going down. You'd still make gains but not as high as it could be. There is a lot of talk about people dumping at launch. I think there will be people dumping but you have to look at the entire picture. Who's looking to buy? Is the buy pressure the same as the sell? or more? People who made large puraches during the ICO, what are their plans? You can't assume they'd sell ALL their coins. Do they have the ability to pump up the coin? If so, they'll need sellers and probably counting on people to dump so they can buy those up.

Cool

i think it would be wise to expect big dumps and thats the only reason why i am selling and praying i can get back in for lower.

just checking eth ico

6670 particpants raised $18 million
4000 particpants raised $5.9million

anyone know which exchange did eth get listed first for the IOU

Bittrex did the IOU for Eth. Probably can be safe to say people will take profits at launch and follow a similar path as Eth. I have more btc now so I am sorta hoping for an initial drop to buy more.
