2750 eth with the actual market is a very nice achievement i think. Its just a start for the project but I think it show the interest of investors, cause its not a low amount especially with this hard market.
Now its 3100 ETH, and i think private sale participants are the true investors (long-term) and wont really care about the daily/weekly pump and dump.
It all depends. If they are looking for gain in fiat currency then they would like to chase pumps but if they want to get gains in crypto then long-term projects are best suited for them
