Now is not the time to invest in ICOs from last year ICOs are no longer the choice of investors because ICOs are dead, to invest in the future we can see current trends such as in NFT or the metaverse, but we must look in more detail at the projects we will invest in, especially in the destination and developers and has a team that is experienced in crypto.
I would guess that pre-sale is still considered ICO in some sort of way. Doesn't mean that it would be considered ICO just because it is named that way is a very old school approach and we should be approaching every pre-sale type of situation like ICO, and there are tons of them out there.
I believe that we are getting a lot, we have 17k+ projects just on CMC and I have seen plenty of projects that have been out of CMC and not get listed, which means there must be something like 30k+ at the very least projects. That must be like at least 5k+ projects every year, and that means we are talking about 10+ project every single day, and most of them have pre-sale.
Assuming at least 10 per day, that is seriously insanely good and I would be very proud to say that I do not lose money on most of them because I avoid investing into rug pulls but it shows you how much we need to be careful.
