Public sale or pre ICO? can't decide

[Insufficient]

I am looking to invest some money on ICO. Now, I know I'm not going to go in on private sale as that is for private investors. Debating over to get whitelisted for pre-ICO sale or just wait for the public sale...

I did read the whitepaper of course and did not find anything about lock-in period which is definitely a thing to consider or at least for me.

If any of you guys find some time to look into a project called FAIREUM, I would love to know your thoughts on this. I must admit I am more drawn to investing in a project that deals with gambling as gambling is HUGE everywhere and if I can bag a few bucks using a platform made for gambling I'm definitely going in. I tend to go for a project that shows a greater chance of succeeding.

I would really really appreciate some advice. I will be the one to decide at the end of the day but other peoples thought can be a guide.

You may need go through the pinned threads on scam acussation section. There you will be find the guides to understand how to pick the good ICO/ITO projects. Some projects do not make anything on promotion base but have good product but some people do promotion and everything but there is no core product and etc.
So be careful before you pick the any ICO project.

I don't see anything in your post the factors that's confusing you whether to join pre-ICO or ICO.

As far as I know, pre-ICO offers bigger discount and as you said there is no lock in period. So what is exactly are you worried about?

[ausbit]

I would advise you to invest in STOs instead of ICOs, since STO have a regulated body which regulate their activities and also these companies carrying out STO are always well known company that has a working project already, I believe this will give you more confidence to invest without thinking it's a scam, but if you insist on ICO, then I will tell you to make purchase in presale so that you can make more profit.

Faireum.

OP, just stay, and stick with Bitcoin, and HODL hard, and do not let "them" force your Bitcoins away from your strong grip. CONCENTRATE.

Best suggestion, Hold more BITCOIN because its more profitable than to any new project. The risk is very high on ICO's right now, whether its a public sale or a pre-sale. HODL is also my game with bitcoin, though I don't concentrate much on this since I need also to buy top altcoins but I know, I'm happy to hold.

He's asking for some advice, but I think he already know what to do on this.

Never heard that Faireum so I can't advise you anything with it or I'm just so fed up with icos that turned out scam or shit so I don't give a damn at all. Though as you've said you're into gambling then why you don't just play in big sites? I mean investing in ico is more like a gambling but when you play there will be probability that you won or at least earn more decently.

Think about it. Ico is long gone now.

It is very difficult if choosing ICO randomly or not analyzing it in depth is not useful to use pre-ICO in vain, I strongly agree to choose Bitcoin because it is the right choice but at the right time to be in a very favorable condition , that does not mean that ICO is not good but how we choose it correctly, but at some point it will be extraordinary in the future all have special advantages every time the ICO is launched and some of us must know that garbage is everywhere.

yes indeed that is a very common understanding.

[Timmzzy]

Choice is one of the most important thing, in my own advice since you have got to study about the project and get every information need going for the public ICO is quite ok, due to that shows they are ready and going to keep the community  and everyone is taking part.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

If you are sure about the project and you trust it then you can buy directly when the pre ICO starts because you will have some great discounts and bonuses. But in my opinion its better to wait for public sale since there are some projects who are scam that run away after the pre ICO. Also you can see how much interest people had in the pre ICO to determinate if the public sale will be even better.

Some advice on my Guidelines, how to spot a scam ICO & report effectively thread. I am really not fan of ICO investment. But if you highly think that a project will success then you could invest at your own risk. Because thats your fund and you have right only decide where you have to invest. Don't invest emotionally, research yourself before invest. If you would like to ask my suggestion, then stay away from ICO and invest on few existing coin.    

[Reid]

Sure but it is going to take some time.

I would propose for you to stay on the trusted ones. e.g. Bitcoin and Ethereum.
ICOs have been a bad investment last year and this year for too many scams. You might be risking way too much in doing this.
If I were to completely check Faireum it will still not give a 100 percent accuracy that you could profit in it for a long run.
It takes like a year before you could feel it.
Are you ready to wait that long?
As I see to your post, you are already in doubt.

Fear of loosing money via investment is the fear of not moving forward. Despite the fact that there so many scam project in the crypto currency space that doesn't mean there are no good one that will bring good return to investors. Just that OP need to verify careful in project selection and that was why he is seeking advice from people here before he will finally make his investment decision.

[vintages]

I will advise you to be quite careful of some projects that have private sale. Though some may be true of actually conducting this sales but many are just lies. Because ICO investment is not like they way it was few years ago,  many investors are skeptical of putting in their money into it and ICOs developers use imaginary 'private sales' that never happened to attract other investors like you who are willing to put their money into their project.

[legendster]

Neither.

Wait for the asset to hit the exchanges. Prices will plummet like a sinking stone in the sea.
You would get higher discounts than what the pre-ico / public sale would get you.

This is the exact reason why ICO's fail these days.

[aioc]

First, you go check if the site or the ICO is not listed in ICOETHICS list of scam sites or if there is a report about the project, this is the hardest time to invest in ICO many investors prefer ICO although you have done the right thing asking people about the project, it means you are serious investors and wants a safe investment.

sure, pre-sale can be more profitable almost for every ico project. definitely if it is not a scam. though too much black pr is done nowadays...

[Bttzed03]

Hard to tell if OP is really asking for an advise or just shilling that ICO.

Unless you have no problem providing personal information for pre ICO, I think that is the more obvious choice.

[BlackPanda]

Pre ICO will provide an opportunity to be able to buy coins much cheaper, so this is something we can use.
But keep in mind that there are currently a lot of projects that have very little success.
so do the calculation correctly, mistakes in investing will only make ourselves experience a nightmare.
COin and developers will greatly influence how a coin can develop.

There were some ICOs that were bringing some of its investors some good returns, in hindsight. But to get the context of my reply, OP was asking about an ICO called Faireum.
