Look, there is nothing to be hidden. Token price is dropping because it has no demand and if token is dropping, then it should grow.
I would say that it is better strategy to purchase tokens after ICO, but only in case of low level of hype
Buying after the ICO seems like an ok idea. But, is it better to purchase after ICO or maybe in the early stages of ICO when there are big bonuses added? Which is cheaper? Haven't really done any research regarding that, but maybe someone has here?
There's no clear timing for that and got any assurance if ever you will take part while pre sale still ongoing or any stage of ico's where bonuses will be added nor with after ico's and dumped happened, as we continuously seen the bearish market everything will continue being puzzled to every investors
that will try their luck inside this market, you need a deeper research and a good analysis plus luck to come with you after you place in your investment.
Best to keep an eye with real usability of any tokens/projects that you will going to buy, as it will give you enough patience to hold and wait, knowing that there's progress to come and market will be better after.
