Which is more risky buying a token from the ICO or in trading? And how do you determine a good ICO or project?
To determine a good ICO or project you must read its road map and whitepaper and also look for its developer. A good ICO also have its own secured website and very active on social media.
If you see a good ICO or project I think it is better to buy token directly from the developer because sometimes they give incentives to early investors or buyers.
You talk about defining a good project sounds very simple but I believe that when we participate directly in that, we will be difficult to distinguish between good and bad because what you say, these are the things that many people know and in it, people who create bad and fake projects are people who know very well about your psychology. That means they will design more professional fake projects, to identify is more difficult and not easy, I really do not like buying tokens from ico, we can easily lose money stupidly in the market ico has too many pitfalls
The common strategy to buy ICO token is buying when that ICO token list on the exchange, depending on your target. You can wait until that coin list on the major exchange to buy for investment. But, you have to remember, everything all has a price, you spend more risk, you will receive more profit or reverse. But, I'm still like to trade altcoin instead of invest in ICO. I have more experience in trading, so, I choose to trade to make money from this field.
