You did not included the pre-sale, because I think pre-sale is the beat way when you are already finished for making a background check with the project.

I think buying a coin when ico is very risky, it is better for me to buy alcoin when bitcoin is as steady as it is today, it would be very profitable. If you want to keep from selling it until the end of 2018 I predict you will make big profits. because the movement of all the many alcoins that follow the bitcoin. while the bitcoin is currently in the green zone.

There is no right time to buy altcoin. If you believe in the project and are a long-term investor, at any time period is a good time to buy altcoin, especially now that the market is still down

Red time is buy time! Green time can be selling time

I personally think bounty hunting is a great way to make profit. I just look at it as mining the currency yourself. I had good luck with the Ontology bounty/airdrop recently, managed to get 2,000 ONT from that and the current price of ONT is $2.23. Pretty great return I’d say, but I’m still hodling that, traded in and out a bit and made it grow already. The one I’m working on now is the Marinecoín Beta ICO. Many find issue with .MTC. but if you actually take the time to learn about the project, you cannot deny its brilliance. The Bounty ICO model is ran by a Jarvis Artificial Intelligence protocol to ensure complete fair distribution of over 95% of the coin supply to participants. The project is dev-less and the creator managed to engineer a way to eliminate the need for miner’s, so you do not have to worry about a pool of miner’s taking control of the currency down the road. The core is built around the concept of machine to machine internet of things payments. It can already be ran on a raspberry pi, so .MTC. payments are easy to integrate into your IoT device. Feel free to research yourself at marineco.ín, community is most active in their discord. Link is on their site. I’m out, later guys!

there has been a huge depreciation in the world of crypto currencies and all subcontract prices have fallen. opportunity for new investors was born. It's time to get a subcoin right now. assessing the opportunity to earn money.

I agree with you, pre-sale investors get the biggest bonuses, and the biggest profit. Because they invest at an early stage.

When the market has bleed too much or when theres an altcoin bloody market,which can give us plenty of profits when we bought from the bottom.I aint going to buy altcoins from a bullish market,because it is too risky.Buy from the bottom instead so that you can get these altcoins in cheaper below their usual prices,you shouldnt buy buying today,take your profits instead,

When the bearish market shows up,because you can easily get cheaper coins when the market bleeds,you could have 30-40% discounts from these altcoins  which you should enjoying as of the moment,yuou could get as many as you can.Best way to earn money from a bearish trend,you should know bullish market is more dangerous than a bearish market.

ICO sales may be the right time. Almost all coins after ICO are rising.
I have never attended ICO semesters. I usually try the exchange.

I believe that it is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to this question. The reason for this is that some projects have a good idea and perspective, so their tokens after the release on the exchange can significantly increase in price and in this case it is necessary to buy tokens of such a project on the ICO or even on the Pre-ICO in order to get a bonus in tokens as early investor and get a minimum of +30% of the amount of purchased tokens. If you are in doubt about the project, you should wait and see what the result will be Pre-ICO and even then think about investing in the project or not. But there are projects that very hard to build Soft Cap, so in this case you can wait for the moment when the project tokens appear on ForkDelta or Etherdelta and buy them cheaper than they cost during the ICO. Suspicious projects are bypassed.
