Buy on ICO is the best time. Then hold. Become long term holder in cryptocurrency investment is very risky. Since most of cryptocurrency isn't backed by anything worth such as gold or real asset. Bitcoin is the safest coin to hold so for begginers it will be better if they only hold bitcoin for now.
