Pre ICO - what is usual?

[SimonPT]

I'm coming to this forum new today, so I hope I've followed protocol and this is the way for me to pose a question to the community.

I'm early into the crypto currency scene, trying to adapt my thinking and expectations.

I have entered into a pre ICO, with the ICO to come in mid October with a date yet to be announced.  Is it usual that there is no way to release your investment into the pre ICO before the actual ICO launches?

Additionally, on the day of ICO, should one expect to see the ICO tradeable on a platform such as Bittrex?  I'm keen to watch the ICO unfold and to watch the order book and assess things in the earliest possible stages.  I'm happy to take small holdings in ICOs I feel good about, but I have a layer of nervousness around control during the ICO from the moment it is live.

Your insight and advice would be gratefully received.

you should allays do your homework!
0. Never invest more then you are ready to loose!
1. Read all the materials carefully;
2. Read the whitepaper few times and try to understand the concept.
if you think you like the idea:
3. Check the supporting team that backs the project.
4. Look into the timeline of expected dedvelopment
5. be careful as if it is too good to be true, most definitely it is!
6. Never invest more then you are ready to loose!
7. Look into the contract source-code - if it is legit it must be public!
8. See what companies are supporting the project as well
9. Look if the team that runs the ICO has any other projects and try to research them to get the feel what they are capable of doing.
10. Never invest more then you are ready to loose!

This are the 10 simple steps you need to take in order to be successful in investing into ICO.


You will need to do much more actually in order to master this skill, but this is good for start

Ahh and until I have not forgotten: Never invest more then you are ready to loose!!!!

Good Luck

P.S.: Usually they do not get listed in big exchanges fast, as that costs money and they need the money for development.. (if they get listed, then this is even better)

If I'm not mistaken, there is typically a pre-sale or whitelist option for pre-ICO participants which takes place before the public ICO starts. In other words, if you have registered for pre-ICO, you should get a slot some days prior to the public ICO.

After the ICO, it takes varying amount of time before the tokens are tradeable on exchanges - days or even months.

Veterans, please correct if above is not correct!

I am no vet on here (in crypto maybe) but sounds good to me. To answer your intial question @SimonPT, the way to realize your Pre-ICO value is by selling those same tokens

OTC prior to the ICO. That is the only method I can think of for that. In regards to Bittrex or other big exchanges, there simply is no guarntee. Every coin in crypto would want

to be listed on Bittrex or Poloniex as this would instantly increase the liquidity and volume. Dont hold your hopes on getting listed on Bittrex as they have rarely added any coins

in the past 2 months. Think they have only added Civic, Omisego, and I believe one other as of late.

Why you need to go only in bittrex there are some other exchanges and trading site to be see altcoin to be listed in some exchanges ..
ICO coins are not actually guaranteed you to make a good profit it will be depends in trading volume and the demand and supply..
If the ICO was great project expect that it will getting a good trends in the market but sometimes there are some group of traders that they can make a trap and keep a new released coins or listed coin can be crash because of the bull trap.
So i suggest to better invest in altcoin which is already in good rankings in coin market cap which is low risk than ICO's..

This one is a good suggestion. You do not want to risk all and get rich in one day, as you will fail 999999999 times first...

Look for lower risk and invest there. You will get low return, yet you will get it quite many times before failing, so you will be ok when that happens.
Try to become rich slowly, as this way you will stay rich in the long term
