Public sale or pre ICO? can't decide

[LogitechMouse]

Investing in an ICO is good because you can get more profits but take note that most of the ICO's right now are scam already.

I didn't research on the ICO you said but I'm not investing on any ICO's and will never be. I'd rather put my money into Bitcoin and other trusted coins already and hold them for the long run.

I also dont have trust on ICO now, but if I saw some exchange that will conduct an ICO  I put some investment to their coin. I dont want to put investments to a certain coin whos purpose wont last for a long period of time because it might lead to scam one or even a coin without value soon.

Well, you should decide because you will be the person that is responsible for your actions. If you try to invest on pre ICO, please know this, what if the ICO turns into scam? It will be hard to face that if you invested a lot on that and that ended up as scam. In public sale, you can be sure that if their project is on the go because you have time to decide whether it is legit or not. But the bonus of pre ICO is what you miss.

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.

I think they are doing a bounty campaign right now, better check the sales if they are going to reach the softcap, if they are really interested to invest on that ICO and you have done your research, it's better to invest in their pre ICO because of their bonus, but if they failed to reach the cap, your money could be stuck.

Probably, that's much better to do than risking your money riding with new projects without any assurance that the coin will be listed after, unlike
with holding those quality coins together with bitcoin where value are already known and you just needed to wait for the rise even it will take some
time of waiting but little assurance that the value will be keep inside the exchange.

Though I don't suggest to invest in ICO. But if you are interested in investing your fund to an ICO then I will suggest you invest during the public sell. Because of duirng pre-sale, we can not understand the project fully. And when you will see the project successfully passed their pre-sale in short time, So have a chance the project is legit. Then you can invest if you can see the pre-sale passed already with successfully.

And always try to investigate more before investing any ICO and you can search on Scam Accusations thread of this forum to find out any open scam accusation have or not.

When it comes to investment the word "Assurance" wont really fit out no matter what. Sure profits doesnt exist yet any investment even on offline or traditional ones
would give out guarantees for you to make money but looking on its trail and the potential we can really say that it is really possible no matter what.It might take sometime but it would be more
worthy to try out than risking your funds into those unclear and scammy ICO's.

It is very important that we should understand that icos'market is having bad time as it seems many fakes projects bring bad name to the cryptocurrencies market and icos market and as such I will said we would be good if we should have time to invest we should also create time to read the whitepaper and study the roadmap very very well.  You should make sure that the products are aready existing and we should be able to invest in project that has been listed in some populars exchange because Most of the projects lose 95% of it original values and that makes many investors to loss money and as such make people to lose interest in investing in icos.

It is no doubt passing through a bad times and no one can help it now. The sole reason behind the downfall of the ICO is the dubious projects that cost people their money they had put in. There is a general consensus that if you make use of ICO now, your project will be considered fake and funds would never be raised. On the other hand, IEO has been making immense buzz and name in the crypto market.

As of now, I am afraid that OP cannot raise enough money out of this community alone and due to this reason everyone must need to have their own funds to cover up initial expenses. Other than own funds, I guess probably close friends and colleagues may come forward to invest as preICO mode but definitely we cannot expect this community may risk after hundreds of scams in the name of ICOs.

Why would you not understand their project if they are providing their infos such as roadmap , white paper  , and other details on their site or on their ico ann thread on this forum and on other ico info sites ?  They release all of that infos before they start their pre sale or public sale  . though its wise if you will invest on pre ico because of the bonuses that they offer .

And always try to investigate more before investing any ICO and you can search on Scam Accusations thread of this forum to find out any open scam accusation have or not.

Good suggestion you got there meyt  .  thats right .  investigating or doing some deep research regarding to the ico that you will invest is a nice idea to avoid any further problems  . there were also other sites that list scam and legit ico's  but i forgot the name. Anyways , googel is your friend

There are still lots of ICOs that are very good and can be trusted, they are also having challenge of meeting their soft and hardcap too because of the lack of investor’s interest in putting fund, but we still have so many believers who would take the risk, but they don’t just take risk, they do lots of research to spot out the good ones from the meaningless projects.

For investors that are not willing to take any risk any longer, they would rather prefer to invest in trusted coins like BTC that can guarantee the safety of their investment which is still the best way to operate in this period till some positive comes out of ICO again.

In my opinion, presale is more better as compared to public sales since there more bonus for the early investors during the pre-sale and that can earn you more profit if the project in question scale through.

Getting in on the earliest time as possible is the best time for you to make possible profits when those tokens hit up on exchangers but its your choice if you purchase bulks of it yet it is heavily discounted when they are on pre-sale period unlike on public sale which is lower but price on hitting up exchangers wont really be an assurance to be the same and most of the time they are much more lower where they do even go lower to the price
when its still on pre-sale.So, you do still end up on negative.

[Ailmand]

It depends on the project that you are choosing. I guess knowing a project and the product first would give you a better assurance to invest during the pre-Ico. It's better to invest earlier where you could avail their bonuses, discounts and airdrops but be mindful of the coin that you're choosing.

[okala]

As far as the is no lock in period on the whit paper and you fine the project to have great potential then you can go ahead to invest in it, but to me personally I always like to invest on a project when it at it public sale because the pre sale period always take a long time and any project that make it through that stage is good enough for the rest of the ICO period.

In my opinion gambling is not a good option for bag a few bucks. It's too risky for your investment. I am sorry that i can't look at that project for you. But if you really love your money stay way from those gambling project and invest such good project like ERECOIN, SOLAREX or Bitway etc.

Take a look on what happened on BKT(betking) and (CSNO)Bitdice?

Gambling business might be profitable but for the self-token made they have done their prices is already on the floor.

Gambling platforms is earning good profits so it could be a good option to invest.  Read the white paper carefully,  know about the team and then take any decision.  I also heard about FAIREUM,  and it has quite decent positive view in market. Risk would always be high in investing in ICO but more risk gives more profit too.

Go with the pre ICO as they have good discount offered for investors.
That if you really love the project and you believe on it's potential, for me, I don't trust in ICO now as it will only dump when listed in exchange.
I don't judge a certain project only but the overall ICO is not doing well recently.

Which is the common result right now, most of the projects are not performing and taking investment is too risky, you have to think twice
and if you really fully convince buying at the pre ico stage will give some bonuses that can be your additional profits if the coins perform after
the listing.

You should not go with ICO because of reasons that will lead your project to a defamed one. ICOs are not trustworthy among people right now and have shortcomings. You should rather focus on IEO. Getting your IEO conducted on an exchange would help a lot with quick access to funds and marketing. ICO will not facilitate you in that scenario. Crypto startups go for IEO to be successful in the long run.

When we are satisfied with some good ICOs and there would be some big discounts for early contribution then we may go for that particular ICO alone. For this we may have some reserve fund allocation and that should be less than 20% by considering how hard ICO scams in recent past.

There are lots of focus already on IEO platform and projects, but it comes with so many conditions that are making it difficult for people to get in.

First, for project developers, IEO is quite expensive as they have to pay for listing and not many of them are ready for the cost till after ICO, the only reason why some of the ones that has participated have been successful is because we still have limited projects and the number of people who are willing to participate are so much greater than what the project can supply, so they are able to sell quickly, but once IEO becomes rampant now, they will be so much delay too in meeting up.

The last thing I also don’t like about IEO right now, although o know it’s because of the limited project we have, so many investors don’t get to be a part before it ended, so what would they do in that scenario, they wait till 10 or 20 years before they invest?

I think it's better to wait for the coin to be listed on an exchange first before investing. From hindsight, neither private sale nor public sale is profitable anymore. ICOs used to give enviable ROI pre-2018. However, if you must do ICOs now, then think of sales on a exchanges (IEO). At least that guarantees your investment won't be fretted away by some rogue developers.
