What do you think about Pre-pre-ICOs?

[WhatsOnPic_PR]

There are lots of projects who launch their pre-pre-ico and highly advertise their product before they start their first stage of pre-ICO. Do you think it's justified?

Things are getting ridiculous in my opinion and this is why I am predicting a huge crash for altcoins and icos in particular, things are getting out of hand, this is very similar to what happened in the dot com bubble where there were companies raising tens of millions of dollars and anyone with a brain knew it was impossible for that business to get any profits and people still invested their money there, icos already had stages where you received bonuses depending on how early you invested, then they wanted you to go through KYC, then they added whitelists and now this, every day icos are making it easier my decision to walk away and to not invest in them anymore.

It's an interesting opinion. What do you think about the concept of ICO? As for me, I think that this concept is lost. it seems that all the borders of understanding what is real ICO and why the market needs it are blurred. The idea, for which ICOs were originally created, doesn't work anymore.

In fact, can the project become successful if not advertise it at all?

So many stages only makes it more complicated and time consuming for users, which in return can demotivate them to invest further or look up to ICO, be it a benefit for early users, but no one likes a a lengthy procedure. So ICOs should be careful in placing their business strategy.

[jasydoggye]

This is, to be honest a waste of time and energy. It would be better if they just stop trying so hard to promote things like this and would just work hard on the projects instead.

ICO is a reliable platform to invest on crypto but now-a-days  many ICO projects as scam and it’s advertisement attract newbie to invest that’s really ridiculus I think. So be careful who are new here.

That is also a valid question. The word has to be out.
If I am to make my ICO, I will also make it loud and advertise it in advance to check whether there are interested investors that will somehow make connections whether we are allowing private investors. Its a good strategy assuming its not a scam team. I will even advertise here in the forum and on google adwords if not forbidden. Budget wise. When there are funds collected on Pre-ICO, those funds will probably be used for the signature campaign here in the forum and on article campaign.

but on the other hand, when it takes so many stages, users can follow all the process and see the progress of the project. So it can have more credibility. And projects that are created just for a quick ICO don't look so trustworthy, I would say that most of they look like scams. Don't you agree?

yes, because in pre-ico, I believe that you will determine if there will be a lot of investors are interested in an ico if during they will be able to succeed during their pre-ico stage.

Hi there WhatsOnPic_PR!

So far (on a very personal basis), i haven't encountered a pre-pre-ICO till date.

What i saw was private sales before a pre-ICO.  Having a pre-pre-ico might really be bad for the business as of the moment when trust is not established among many other ICOs.

My apologies, but it do think it's not justified till rate.

It is completely unnecessary. I understand a pre-ICO or private sale for big backers and what not, and it also helps as a marketing tool for the ICO to come (it generates hype), but launching a pre-pre is completely unjustified. To me it seems like they are trying to scam people earlier with the excuse of an upcoming ICO that in many cases won't even be launched.

[auroboros]

The first thing I felt was that they were ICO organizers who really needed investors because their tokens or coins did not sell, so they pre-pre-ICO

the second thing is this is very funny, if at this time we already know pre-ICO maybe someday we will get to know pre³ICO or pre⁴ICO, it is very funny and sounds imposing. It's better to just avoid ICO like that.

[Faraha_JJJ]

Crypto space is getting congested, there are lot of ICO's coming up with already existing technology with promise of doing it in better way. Most of the ICO's I have seen has ended being traded below ICO price. One must be carefull while investing on a project.

They introduce the community to their idea and project. The main thing is to warm up the audience well, then it will be easier to sell your tokens!

Hi bitcoindusts!
Thanks for your reply. It was interesting for me to know what people think about such pre-pre-ico on this forum as I know that there are lots of professionals here. I came across some articles on the web with recommendations to do pre-pre-ico. But it was mainly about advertising and not token sale. So pre-pre-ico was meant to be something like to work on planning campaigns and introducing the project to the audience. That was the idea of those articles. I just wondered if there is pre-pre-ico for token sale. I think if it is, it's not justified and such projects more likely to be scam. But I believe that introducing the project before pre-ICO is a good point.

The ICO pre-sale or pre-ICO is just another shit concept. I don't know why people even invest on those project. They sure to give out tokens in cheaper prices during ICO pre-sale, but to be honest it is totally not required at all. Scammers end up getting easy money twice, once during the pre-ICO sale and another during the main ICO sale. This attracts more greedy scammers after people fall for it successfully.

[bitmybit]

Often these projects are a lot more difficult to invest in because they are in a more infant stage that the ico projects, however the bonuses can be very lucrative.  Keep in mind that your money will likely be locked up for a long time though.

By this you want to say that you've never participated in any ICO pre-sale and never conducted such pre-sales or any ICO?

I think that is a strategy for conducting market tests. If the pre ICO is quiet or even less interested, then they will of course delay the ICO or stop the ICO. But of course this will also be a waste of time and energy because I think the ICO project is gambling, where they risk their vision and mission with a great hope that investors will want to finance their projects
