Pre - ICO vs just regular ICO Investor prospective needed!

[Nalbo]

Pre-ICO are certainly more profitable than the regular ICO but you should also consider the time your funds are going to be held. The longer your fund holds, the less would be your profit as you'd be missing the possible profit your funds would have made. Otherwise there's nothing in regular ICO that makes it better than pre-ICO while pre-ICO delivers you more tokens for the same price.

[Classica35]

For every genuine ICO, there will be a pre-ICO. Although not every ICO that organizes a pre-ICO fundraising is genuine.
Most of the times, investing in pre-ICO is like taking a risk most especially when a project does not yet have much assurance of succeeding. Sometimes a project might have reached its softcap during the  pre-ICO.

developer is need money for developt the project using ico way for fundraising money.
but many ico project are ended not what we expected and even the product they're developt is just like trash.
nothing any different for me beteen Pre-ico and ico if i think the project are good i don't for investing money in Pre-ico or ico stage

[cribusen]

Pre ICO is a great opportunity to get into project that you have selected. Moreover, you are getting tokens for a cheaper price, but anyway people prefer to take part in IEOs at the moment and not in STOs or ICOs.

Honestly, pre-ico is something very limited most of the time and they are giving out such a big discount that the pre-ico prices are almost always funded very quickly even on the most stupid coins to ever exist and thats why you will have hard time catching it, however the reality is that if you want to really catch a pre-ico then you will have to react too quickly and invest into them on the first day which means you will not have time to research all of it, if you can't research with proper time then you will not know everything about the project and will be funding them blindly.

So, the options are getting discounts for an unknown coin or getting no discounts from a well researched coin. I would prefer the well researched one any time of the day if you ask me.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. As i am part of a team planning an ICO it is very important for me how people like you think about this topic and currently we would also prefer to not do a "Pre ico". The argument you gave is one of the main reasons for it.
At the end of the day a project can only succeed if it is able to attract investor that believe in the product. All others just dump their money right away after reaching an exchange.

PreICO is only a marketing strategy to attract more investors that they will buy for much better price, huge discounts and so on.

I am only waiting when we will have Pre-IEO or Pre-STO  .

hey guys 

I have seen lots of project that do a Pre ICO (with discounts etc). The reason many project do that, is do invest the money into a succesful ICO as not every project has already a big Marketing budget.

I would like to know from you all if you have problem with Pre ICOs from a investor prospective or if you find that a common/normal way to launch a successful ICO.

Or do you prefer projects that just do a ICO without any Pre ICO.

I would like to know your opinion as investors which method you prefer and which makes a better impression at you.


Cheers and thank you for your feedback! 

Generally pre-ico are much more beneficial than the regular ICOs as the time interval between the two are less, generally below 6 months and the price difference are great.
The token when being listed would start around the ICO price which gives you a window to grab the profit for your coins.
Investing on ICO are generally unprofitable as the token tends to lose price on being listed on an exchange.

Hey thanks for your feedback.

Dont you think the Pre ICO is part of the scamming problem?. You promiss a nice product but then you give discounts. Dont you think that a ICO that believes in its product shouldnt give any discounts?. I do think to take around 5% of the total coins to get Bounty Hunters promoting your projects is more effective than a pre ICO dont you think so ? .

Cheers

Personally i like only only crowdsale or one main ico, i do not like different tarrif for different investors as price is cheapest for private investors then comes cheaper price for pre ico investors and finally there is normal price for ico investors, this kind of crowdsale not only causes confusion among investors but after the ico coin fails to find a stable price and keeps dumping because there is no known price as some have got better deal than the ico investors.

You mean presale? If yes,then these things are common because projects will really give out discounts for early investor and this
is also some sort of making their sale attractive when the project decides to give out some good discount or bonuses.

So you are a Pre ICO Investors that loves the discount to later sell it for profit when it comes on an exchange ?

I do not prefer any.  I would rather buy on the exchange.  Lots of ICO today do not get into exchange and lots of investors that invested on that project are frustrated because they suffer heavy loss due to this thing.  Though there is an exemption such as, if the group creating an ICO is well established and known in the market.

i don't think any IEO campaign are don't need Pre-IEO phase for attract investors interest investing in the IEO.
if IEO launched from big exchanger they don't need do Pre-IEO for increase investor

Thanks for you feedback. So the key what you say, is the problem, that ICOs dont hit exchanges. Do ICOs that are already in application processes with exchanges attract you more?

if really want invest in coin/token from new project i'm prefered to buy after they listed on exchange,  because like you said, i don't want take a risk for investing money from untrusted project and developer

[MikeyVeez]

In pre-ICO there are much more attractive offers becausethe project is not developed, in this point they only have plans to the future (whitepaper). In ICO they should has at least MVP to satisfy investors.

[[btc]YSG]

You are right, why project also offer better discounts for Pre-ICO or Private Investors is because they are always required to investing in relatively large amounts not comapred to ICO where there is usually no minimum investment.

[coaprotet]

If you have enough funds and you like this particular project, you can join at pre ICO stage to get tokens for a better price. Usually, projects are requiring at least 5-10k USD and such an investment is called angel investor.
