Do you still believe in Presales?

[SmartGold01]

I don't think this is something that matters to me because the hype is no longer there for me, it would be better i ventured into a project that is already established and making wave than going into random projects to invest on their presale which i found it not funny enough because you can't really detects the intention of the project owner what they plans and how they wanna do it. You could invest on presale and ended up having worthless token at last.

Presale profit depend on the success of the project, so it is so risky because when project is failed your capital will also get failed and you cannot get any profit at all,so i prefer investing on a coin that is already has a strong foundation with a good developer and already tradeable in the market so that you can sell anytime when you don't wanted to hold the coin.

[DavetJack]

The hope of getting profit from a presale coin is based on the success of a project. The hope of getting profit here is very low, the risk of loss is high and it is very risky. Because if you invest in such a token, you can never sell it before the project is successful, you have to wait for it to be listed. So what I mean is if you invest in a coin, invest in a coin that you can sell immediately if you don't want to hold it.

If you have seen that many tokens are pre-selling before their launch. If you buy tokens based on the ICO price, then save it for the future and you will be able to profit. Some coins are still facing fraud. Which makes customers worry a lot. We have to pay attention to various media in these matters. For example, Twitter, Instagram, we have to keep an eye on these. So that investors do not risk losing their money.

Buying coins/tokens in pre sale seems riskier for me. There are many of them that are never listed on the exchanges. The developers easily dissapear after they get enough money from investors who buy in the pre sale. That's why I prefer to buy when they coins/tokens have been listed in exchanges nowadays. We are no longer in ICO era, we can't predict easily about the future of crypto projects recently. There is no guarantee that the developers can be trustable although they are very active in the social media.

Actually you are right, in the current era, many token pre-sales are going on but there is no news of listing. There are many projects that can easily disappear by buying and selling tokens through token pre-sales. Such projects may not have the ability to come to the market. For which they steal the money of the common people and go away.

It's a high-risk endeavour, especially on our market that is going up and down due to the tariffs.

the thing is though you would want to be early in a project or even the earliest because that is how you will be able to maximize your profit but as others have said presales now have become almost worthless since too many projects end up not meeting their expectations and just failing by the end of it

which i found it not funny enough because you can't really detects the intention of the project owner what they plans and how they wanna do it. You could invest on presale and ended up having worthless token at last.

you can have assumptions or conclusions based on their white paper and what their team is saying but no one can know for certain how this project will end up like which makes it hard for the rest of us

In fact, during the up or down scheme you will get high risk from any coin. Because during this time the price of some coins drops completely and they cannot go up again, and many projects go down and scam. We want to be with risk in crypto because it will not be possible to get profit without risk. It is possible to make good profits from pre sale but in that case you always have to invest in the best projects. However, since there is currently no hype about pre sale so not everyone will be attracted to it.

During the early periods of me joining the Crypto world, I could recall there were alot of Presales I came across on Telegram and Twitter. Presale adverts was booming then, though I never really had the full knowledge on identifying scam projects.

The difference is everyone cannot have same level of understanding or succeed equally hence gross balance in profits and losses generally is attained. Presales still work out but trust me you would need to do a lot of research to avoid scam tokens.

Your response sounds right, but if everyone can't get the same level of understanding and success now does it mean the presales then, all investors had the same level of understanding and success? Or it was not based on any measurement.

Because I know before fake/scam projects covered everywhere there was still a time when good projects were seen.

Pre-sales are actually slightly more risky than even meme coin trading. Basically one of the biggest risk with pre sales is that you could end up wasting your money on trash that later on will never get launched and before they actually launched they seemed to have a lot of potential though they were just a scam.

I have seen many pre-sales back in the day that never got launched and the had so much hype that made many people invest in them.

You are right, project owners sometimes dictate what is to be done, and as an investor, you do not know what goes on in the team unless you have an insider who feeds you with information as the case may be. In some cases, the project might be on the brink of collapsing, but the team wouldn't say anything and just keep mute and do away with investors' funds.

This is why I advise newbies to only look into Bitcoin for a start so they can be sure of their investment and also learn from the market actions with Bitcoin before delving into other coins and tokens. This could help thembetter learn how the crypto market works and keep them sound for other investment if they decide to look outside of bitcoin investment.

I don't think that's the case. Even in a limited market, the number of winners will always be limited, not to mention when presales got popular and everyone wanted to try the pie. It's not only about knowledge and research but also timing and opportunity. Let's say you bet on a new ETH but don't sell at the right timing, you might end with little to no profit at all.

I agree that presale is just another form of crowdfunding, so if the project delivers, you can still get something from it. The question is more about how to identify which project is worth investing in regardless of its investment method, IMO. Unfortunately, that's a difficult question to solve, especially if you don't have the capital to take risks at all. CMIIW.

As always - you go big or go home. Such events and projects exist to play big and try to push themselves so high they will fly afterward through the market with no problems, but usually, that doesn't end well.

I'm not against taking risks however that doesn't mean you should take risks without research or take blind risks in essence. Basically you have to put in time into understanding a particular ecosystem and that's one thing most people are not ready to do which in the end puts them in loss.

Smart risks matter since it wouldn't be a good move to pump all your liquidity into a project you are not even sure of the win probability and in the end lose in all.

Taking risks without doing research, as you said, is something that is absolutely not necessary, but you do have to continue to do a good analysis before doing what we are going to do, because it can indeed cause losses to us if we do not do a good analysis.
we do have to be smart before doing anything you want to do so that weu do not experience losses later.

That's why there is a catch in every project here and there - you do need to see through and understand which one is more risky, and which one - is a bit more stable, and so on.

It's the matter of experience being in the space and analyzing which interests you the most.
