I agree Chain has excellent long term potential but as with any new crypto, I'm a bit hesitant to get in at the ICO or even within the first month or longer. I bought in on one ICO (ppt), and a couple brand new coins fresh off their ICO as well. Though I think they all have long term potential, the risk for losing big $ to short term pump and dumpers is too great IHMO.

I watched a video by Hive account@jerrybanfield (one of the many awesome ones he puts out on a ridiculously regular basis) where he recommends waiting months or basically a long time to get a feel for the coins "true" value, especially after it has transitioned out of the initial pump and dump phase.

While I agree it's good to wait, I'd add my own opinion to that and suggest waiting months might not be necessary, but AT LEAST waiting until the coin gets dumped the first time and goes down a bit off the initial hype is a smart play.
