Hi Yusuf, thanks for the comment!
By an advantage I mean are you able to pick up any crypto for free before the ICO? BOSCoin did this by offering free coin if you joined their newsletter, etc. Or are you able to get the crypto at a discounted rate if you purchase it using a different one (for instance, you could have gotten a 5% increase of TKN if you purchased using SNGLs).
Another advantage I would take into consideration is an informational one. Do you have access to the leadership of the business? Do you know something about a coin that most other people may not? Or do you know that the value of the “company” (or in crypto’s case staff) is going to be higher than the initial offering price?
Perhaps another advantage would be being able to easily gain new coins “for free” by utilizing proof of stake mining which isn’t particularly taxing on your computer.
These are a few of the advantages that have led me to pursue investing in a particular coin over another. I hope that answers your question!
