We can't assume that. Yes, the price should definitely be more than IPO prices. Unless people then dump afterwards...  if it's too high, it'll fall back down to earth. The pre-sale could just as easily be the first example of a pump/dump before a coin is even released.

I wonder if the devs would consider a compromise. Forget the presale stuff, just release the coin properly one week early, which would put it on the market 6 days from now. At least it'd be a normal release then.
