Emacs daemon hangs on first run on Emacs 25.2

Question

I've installed Emacs 25.2 on Mac High Sierra Beta. I used it together with bbatsov's prelude.

When I first run emacs --daemon, it hangs showing this output:

m15:~ g$ emacs --daemon
Prelude is powering up... Be patient, Master g!
Loading personal configuration files in 
/Users/g/.emacs.d/personal/preload...
Loading Prelude’s core...
Emacs Prelude is now refreshing its package database...
ad-handle-definition: ‘ido-completing-read’ got redefined
Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:80
Type C-x 1 to delete the help window, C-M-v to scroll help.
Continue connecting? (No, Session only, Always) Always

Any idea how to debug this further? What is going on?

I've tried a few times and no matter what I enter as answer, it does the same. Nothing is taking CPU, nothing is being downloaded...

NOTE: I've installed Emacs via brew cask install emacs

Is it only the first time you try this that it hangs, or is it every time you try it that it hangs? — Drew, Aug 09 '17 at 20:13
Then please edit your question to make this clear. Currently it says that it hangs "on first run" etc. — Drew, Aug 10 '17 at 13:39

I had a slightly similar issue before (see here). I've tried the workaround and it worked.

So, if daemon ever hangs after changing things or first time you run, run emacs --insecure first, then emacs --daemon
