Title: ICO, STO, and now IEO,.. a little later XYZ and they are all the same!
Post by: BitcoinHodler on March 14, 2019, 10:54:15 AM
nowadays we are witnessing the death of "raising funds with offering coins" which is known as ICOs but it seems like they keep trying to come up with different names for the same thing to try and keep it going a little longer. it was first STOs which failed and now it is IEOs which are even worst than anything they have done before because they are centralizing it to exchanges which are already shady and unsafe.

how much longer do you think this is going to last?

The truth is it cannot last long and we all come back and focus on just ICO

Because it is the best regardless of the scam events that has occurred.

Sto is more like shares and ieo project thrives on the hype of the exchange platform either good or bad token

But with ico crowdfunding method, it’s now easy to detect fraud

what is best about it, would you mind explaining that to me?
because in the past 3 years that i have been seeing thousands of ICOs i have not yet seen even one that is actually doing something with the money they received. i call that scam not when they obviously scam people!

I can not see anything except the small method differences between them :) If the problem is to put three letters next to each other, my investment model becomes ABC :) Anonymous BitCoin

Makes sense this IEO cannot help us if the project is going to scam investors, because they have the overall supervision on the project crowdfunding, in ICO we can check how the project is being handled and promoted, but ICO can still scam a lot of people because there are too many of them and sometimes they escape our rada.

it doesn't matte what they are called. in the end when someone is asking you for money in name of investing in their project, raising fund for their crap,... they can easily scam you specially when people who are giving them money don't bother asking for results! and it is only unique to cryptocurrency world for some reason not the real world. in real world when people invest in something like a company for example, they will demand results and product from that company otherwise they will not give them their money in first place.

A new rebrand for ICO while TGE, and another name for ICO already disappeared from the market. Majority of people are thinking IEO can attract investors easily but basically if they are taking an example from ico that launched on binance and binance is the main point that makes their names being bigger.

Different approach, the same goal.

STOs and IEOs appears to solve some issues of ICOs.
STOs deals with the ICOs lack of security and compliance.
IEOs deals with the long-time listings.

I don't think we'll see the end of crowdfunding. It'll remain as long as government agencies like SEC allows it.

How exactly they are same? And how come IEOs are worst? IEO promises guaranteed exchange listing where IEO is held, just that makes IEOs better than ICOs.

it will last for a very long long time, as long as there is some profit included many people will always stand in line to join in ICO STO IEO or what will come next.
because people will always think If they're not willing to risk the unusual, they will have to settle for the ordinary.

If this will last longer then they have to choose one, which is more convenient to invest because of the ICO, STO, IEO because those three have advantages.

do they really allow it?
i don't think so. in fact this way of crowdfunding is illegal in most countries and on top if it many of them specifically banned ICOs which will include any alternative names they choose.
besides i don't think government can do anything about these things.

I agree with you, we have seen how easy to detect, fraud ICO, we have already a long list in the scam section, and many more adding almost daily with IEO they do not know if the exchange has done a good investigation, and it could also ruin the exchange reputation.

There is a market because there is a big demand, people want profit to be it short term or long term and we have seen how in the past how investors made a lot of money investing in ICO but ICO is very much different now compare today.

ICO can not easily be destroyed just as decentralized cryptocurrency can't be easily destroyed. If you have compelling projects, people will stillbe part of it.

 The bear is partly to blame for the current difficulty in raising funds and the market is a bit saturated.

I see IEO as a good solution for avoiding scam projects. Bittrex has already cancelled it`s first IEO with RAID as they
were not ensured that it is in the best interest of their customers. I agree, that exchanges are centralized but why we still
could not invent a decentralized control process  for ICOs.  Until that happens, anything is better than having nothing
and being scammed. And we already have good performing IEOs under  Binances` supervision.

Yes, they all look alike, but their names are different. These coin offerings continue until the fault is found, then replaced by another. IEOs have also become a trend because of profitability. And when it can not provide profit anymore, it will end.

that bold part is in my opinion the biggest problem with the cryptocurrency market!

people have been programmed to want profit and care about nothing else because of their greed and that has opened up a lot of manipulation in the market and a lot of fraud.
the worst part is the result of all this, which is currently keeping the "technology" from advancing. we are stuck in a loop repeating the same projects by copying the same crap with a new name and then pump it to the moon and people are happy about it!

Just maybe because I know that one thing is common between all irrespective of applications, use and delivery. They are all fund raising campaigns for a cryptocurrency project

Don't forget the elimination of possible scam which were very common in ICOs.
I will pitch with IEO anytime.
Speaking of which, I have one coming up which am particularly interested in investing.
MPCX is the project. Anyone heard of it?
Their IEO launchpad is coming up on OOOBTC on the 28th

I would not call all of them the same because they are here because they are an improvement to the previous one. IEO are exchange hosted ICO while STO are ICO/IEO that provides the profit as dividend directly to the holders. So, they are not all the same.
The user experience has improved a lot from ICO to IEO and we would see more improvements on experience and security in the future.

Hey guys. Remember the project I spoke about yesterday? I just read that MPCX has just partnered with IBM to strengthen the digital assets  management security. Through IBM's cloud products, there will be introduction of artificial intelligence in MPCX platform.
This information just sweetened the honey pot.

They all have their uniqueness, that is well understood. However, which among them will you consider the best?
Personally, I think IEO has more benefit than the rest.
tsaroz, can you personally take a look at this MPCX IEO details on OOOBTC and give me your professional view on the project. I will really appreciate that a lot.

The most common thing a!long all the coin offering methods, is that, they are all used to raise funds for a particular project, whether it is real or not. The difference is just in the ways in which they are raised, which most times determine how investors will turn up for them. Among all, IEO is currently the best, but the genesis of allow through ICO. New methods will still be invented in future.

lets see after bitcoin crash again, ICO can last a very long time before bitcoin crashes I guess IEO will last a long time.
but the IEO in a large exchange will continue to exist, I think as long as there are still interested people they will continue to hold the IEO.

I think we should separate each of those acronyms because it was different in meanings and implementation, ICO's are simply "Initial Coin Offering", without guarantee of safety if the platform was a legitimate one. While STO is another form of fundraising but regulated by the government through Securities, while IEO is a form of fundraising activity that was offered more security since it was happen in third party exchange platform that act like a escrow and i dont think a reputable exchange will gamble with any IEO's without proper researched and legality. Because when the things go wrong they will be the one to be held accountable and suffer the consequences.

After the IEO was launched, ICO projects in this market were no longer interested and it is likely that ICO will soon die this year because IEO has more advantages for investors. I think liquidity is the most important reason why investors like because they can sell the day after the project ends and if listed at a large exchange, their chances of earning a profit will higher than other normal projects. Now Binance, Huobi are 2 exchanges that provide the best projects but the participation rate will be very low
