Do you believe in IEOs nowadays more than ICOs back in 2017 ?

Yes IEO is safer  than ICO, if not for the scammers plauging ICO IEO will never exist today, investors are tired of ICO and it's affecting even boy to hunters as well so IEO should be able to fix or limit scam rates,

I like the fact that coins or tokens will be listed immediately after the IEO which is mainly its advantage over ICO. Others think it's safer since the exchange itself will do the screening of projects for potential investors. I just don't like how it is turning out on bigger exchanges where only a limited people can participate. It's becoming a centralized crypto crowdfunding.

I am personal prefer to invest in IEO. Some IEO projects that i invest always make profit. You can see many of IEO project at Binance Launchpad and that's recommended.

I believe in IEO although I was still curious about the work of IEO. But at least, if the project can enter to the market, they can be a good project because the market doesn't want to know that the project will scam people so it could impact to the reputations of the market itself. But the market still needs to be careful to choose the right project, and it's hard to know which project that could be a good project.

I do not believe the IEO can be as popular and thriving as the ICO in 2017, if you learn about Binance's IEO you will see its dark side. Everyone is blowing up the IEO, but soon the IEO will soon die and its disadvantages will soon be exposed.

I do not think that it is generally the right tool. I believe that this is a tool that was created to cheat people. avoid participation in IEO in which you need to buy exchange tokens

ICO 2017 has not had as many scammers this year so ICO used to be very successful and it is now a trend that is the sale of IEO on several exchanges, but that does not guarantee it will be more successful at the 2017 ICO.

Well I believe in IEO more than I believed in ICO back then in 2018 (yes, 2017 was a good year for ICOs) because IEO market is more trusted since it is run by popular exchanges that have made name and built integrity for themselves and wouldn't want to loss that because of a scam IEO that cannot give them what they will make on a normal day, the only ways scammer can come into the IEO space is by creating an exchange with lot of promises and then making away with investors money after getting it.

I guess IEO may beat ICO success rate in 2017. Considering the growing user base of crypto space in 2019 (against 2017) and strict procedures of exchanges for choosing a right one for their launcpad, I believe more people may start contributing into IEO than the past years how they did.

No, to me the excitement of ICO in 2017 was more higher than what we are experiencing with IEO now and I think this is another reason why IEO won't last especially if exchanges don't do much background checks about the project. Though IEO provides instant liquidity but for how long will post ieo buyers will continue to lose because most of them has gone far below the first post ieo price.

Maybe it could be that the IEO can now be better than the ICO 2017, many projects that use the IEO today are even successful in a few minutes of sales as long as in a large exchange.

Well at least IEO is legit and safer, I'm sure that's what matters to investors, ICO is more risky and scammy, IEO is what ICO should have been since 2017,the IEO idea is brilliant idea and better

If you mean if there is such a hype like in year 2017 about ICOs, then I clearly say that not. I do not understand why people are investing into high-risk startup projects in time of bear market. You can make a big profit also in classic estabilished big cryptocurrencies, so why you should try your luck?
Look at statistics how many past-ICOs or IEOs are dead. 99%  ::)

in such a market it is hard to find a good ico project in which you can invest money, but if people manage to do it, in the future it can bring huge profits. those projects which will survive after the bear market will bring huge money to those people who believe in them now

I can say yes i believe, but only IEOs on big exchange such binance, huobi and bittrex. For small exchange, i'm not trust it. ICOs is become mainstream right now, everybody can make their own ico with trash project and you guys know it, investor will not invest on that ICOs and that's why some investor moved to IEO.

No one can say exact what will happen. But till now, I have seen that IEOs seem like it's a new trend in 2019. It brings a new wind to market, more volume, more liquid, more cap.

IEO is just the right concept to plunder open since ICO are not doing well any longer.. It's better and safer that way rather than letting all hopes to be lost.. It's cooler.

ICO have been known as the model to fund the project back in 2017, its been 2 year and ICO needs to change to into somewhat a great platform called IEO. I wish it had a turnback time for IEO to get place.

Yeah it is true.
The exchanges are taking the DD process and only legit teams and products are offered to the audience, at least it should be like this :)
The Problem is that CEX have a lot of control over the token sale process and this could lead to corruption or high prices for IEO on a good exchange.

Well said!
Our team is on the same page. However, most of the people are hyped by the IEO wave...  It is exactly the same as ICO by technical point of view, but Exchange takes part of the cake that should go for the core team and development of the project...

I agree with that. This is pump and dump scheme of the exchange's token.
Everyone should be able to buy IEO tokens with BTC, ETH, etc.

Currently yes , as to list your project for IEO on exchange i guess you need go tru alot of documentation aswell as KYC . So its kinda harder to get fake project on exchange , but not impossible i guess . Is there any examples that IEO collected funds and run away ? Didn't read about any currently , but i guess there is or will be unfortunately

IEO is far more better than ICO when it's conducted and bought in only good exchanges. Avoid a hungry exchange, as they will only advise you to deal with caution as risk abounds, while they collect IEO fee without carrying out proper KYC and project analysis. It's equally important for investors to carry out their due study of IEO before participating in any to avoid future wreckage.

I am agree that many investor prefer choosing IEO than ICO because its more trusted. Many investor scammed by ICO in 2018 and when exchanger launching IEO, it give investor confident to crypto market again

Well, the IEO can be relied on for sale because the market is available even though sometimes the price is still far from the price set. At least there is a market goal. Investors or hunters certainly prefer IEO than ICO for now.

IEO is very popular now and I don’t think it will end anytime soon. I think there are still a lot of interesting IEOs ahead. I think that this market will develop.

Not, IEO is better token sale than ICO but the fact were still at the bear market. It always better the day of 2017 were ICO really dominate the world of investment. Even IEO is that good, it cant win on the day were everyone make their investment. But seeing a little pump hopefully it will lead in the new bull run

Is IEO a new innovative trend? Here is an example of checking  IEO on the  scam by exchanges .This team has launched a new thread on BTT to promote own project ADAB  on social networks after IEO.

Maybe yes but possible to not because in my view all of it depends on people demand because currently only IEO were dominated by big exchange can be successful but if gradually IEO can restore investors confidence to invest again to crypto then it's possible IEO will be so popular such as ICO's on 2017

Surely IEOs are better than ICOs. There were lots of scams happened in ICOs in 2018 and investors are really tired of it. IEOs are now a good option for investors as product offered to them is genuine. An IEO on an exchange runs after completing the exchange formalities like KYC so there very little chance of IEOs scam. The only problem with IEOs and ICOs now a days is price gets dumped as soon as it hit exchanges, majority of people are not ready to hold any toke for a long time due to recent downtrend and due to this fact investors re not showing much faith on crypto market.

So far IEO its better than ICO, many project are successful and profitable for investor. But we also have to be careful because investment always have a risk.

The IEO will be safer, which is clear because the exchange will ensure that.  Many investors were discouraged by ICO projects and believed that the IEO would make the investment channel safer.  However, how many successful participants buy IEO, the number will be very small.  I want to buy an IEO but I can't buy it (how can I do it in 2-4s so fast).  I think the IEO will also discourage many investors.  Have you purchased an IEO successfully?  I bought a failure and suffered a loss of -10% in value because of the token of the exchange

Yup, IEOs are far more better than ICOs back in 2017 but that really depends on the exchange launching IEO. Top exchanges always helps quality and promising projects to raise funds on their exchange. And I think that doing IEOs nowadays will most likely separate scam/fraud projects from the real one.

IEOs are temporary solutions for new projects to raise money. It helps them get free publicity and comes with a perk like getting listed on an exchange from day 1. It also helps exchanges, because the demand for exchange tokens increased thanks to IEOs.

As i mentioned this is nothing but a temporary solution, and it doesn't fix the core problems: 1) Liquidity in the crypto market is still very low, 2)Most of the new projects are money grabs. They don't have a good product.

So, I expect the demand for the IEOs to diminish in the upcoming weeks/months just like ICOs.

In ieo of course you can participate , because now there is a HYIP and you need to use this situation and you can make good money on it

actually I was not sure about the IEO but after seeing the thread on this sf the IEO profit was quite promising but some launchpad that violated the IEO did not promise profit

everything that has an advantage have a disadvantage. IEO has its good side and bad side since IEO guarantee security and a better means to raise funds but it has showed it's weak side or should I say it's red flag in the case where many small investors finds it difficult to invest

Obviously, I am believing in IEOs more than ICO. And I believe IEO is now more profitable and risk-free because IEO published after verifying the project and team members by the exchange. And the coin/token will list in the exchange after 1-3 days of finishing IEO. For that Investor also feel free to invest in IEO. But it's difficult to buy during IEO.

Because IEO gives more guarantee than ico just like the token will be listed on the exchange site instantly. That looks like investors were moving toward IEO but there was a lot of good icos outta here too. that depends on the developer itself dude.
It gives a lot of confident to investors.

Not really, this is just starting out and I don't think it can be compared to 2017, there is a big difference between the IEO and ICO. IEO may be popular now, but ICO in 2017 is the best of all time. Regardless of the case of scammers, in 2017, the amount collected from the ICO was very large.

yes, because of this we do not believe too much in the popularity that exists today. The IEO might be good, but that is before completely getting rid of the scammers. so always verify, for each project that does the IEO, even if it starts in a large exchange.

I do not believe in IEO. They are held by exchanges only with the aim of artificially raising the price of new coins and thereby giving investors some money. This causes a new wave of investors who are buying stock exchange tokens in the hope of becoming one of the investors in a new coin.
However, only 1-2% of the total number of applicants can buy a new coin.
The exchanges do so on purpose, their tokens grow in value at the expense of fools.

The IEO may be in demand by many investors, but it all depends on the project offered too. In particular, look at exchanges that work together to sell IEO, because there is a possibility that the IEO is the same as ICO, all of which are very risky with data manipulation.

IEO right now are more trustworthy than ICOs right now. But you can't really just argue on what ICO was bavk then especially during 2017 time. All ICO are mostly trusted and can gives ROI. Unlike now, IEO is more trusted than it.

well,its depend actually.
depend of exchange it self, just thing with ur logic,
did that is can be happened ?,i mean some unpredicate exchange have own IEO and raise big amount of bucks.
of course that just a bull shit.

IOE is booming, only for a short time, a lot of exchanges launch their own IEO platform, the number of increased synonymous with quality drops.

Well, I dont really see a big difference between the two. The only welcomed difference is that right after the sale ending the exchange provides liquidity for the token. And most of the exchanges wont do an IEO for totally useless projects, as they do at least some due diligence.

I do not think ieos are more than or better than icos
They are closely related and the same pattern; difference is; exchange platforms are in charge

Which tells us that; the more the hype of the exchange; the faster the ieos gets sold out

Yeah, IEOs was created to tackle the short comings of ICOs. IEOs are usually backed by exchanges and these exchanges has taken it upon themselves, to vet this projects and also assure investors of listing after the IEO. This is a strong point that shows how ICOs are the stories of the past and IEOs is the present story 

How sudden the tides change. It's true that the initial coin offering system has fallen down but the expected next in line was security token offering sto. But of late the new wave is the ieo. When ever the bullish market comes again everything would be revived that includes initial coin offering

IEO still need time before it becomes popular like ICO. People will see it in the market, and some of them will invest in that IEO. Maybe IEO is a new solution for the investor from the scamming of ICO, and they don't want to invest in any ICO again. But yes, IEO was attracting the investor attention and now, they still watching the programs and invest if they think that is good for them to make a profit.

For the current situation I put an attention to IEO, since it was launched for the first time IEO has been made a lot of investor have a believed again that IEO is the best alternative place beside ICO. Indeed, ICO in 2017 ago has made a lot of people gain many profit and also make cryprocurtency industry grow up, but ICO has a fragility because it makes a place for scammer to scam many people until make the project ICO leaved by a lot of investors. But IEO has came and has a system that I think can be trust as a safe place and investors doesn't need more fear for their money be stolen.

Most of investors are thinking that this new way of investment is probably much better than ico's, but unknowingly diverting attention as most of the ico projects are becoming scam and no longer profitable, thinking that this new ventures might bring new hope inside this industry.

Still too early commending or criticizing this new level of investing your money, time will reveal whether the market will go across this line or will ends up just like how ico works before.

IEO will be a much better alternative than ICO was in 2017.

During IEO the projects will be already verified by a 3rd party entity (Exchange), or during an ICO there are no additional verifications.

IEOs will end as ICOs did. Bittrex first IEO listed a little above IEO price and has been trading below the price thereafter. There's no diff between IEO and ICOs the only difference is the instant exchange listing.

It's common to happen actually, when the token listed to exchange after ICO finished, the price will be dropped under the ico price. It takes time to wait until the price of that token increase, if the project success then the price will increase. It's same IEO and ICO, the different is IEO, the token can easily listed on the same exchange.

Aside the instant exchange there's nothing different between ICOs and IEOs with time IEOs will be a thing of the past once investors stop making quick flip from it it will end. ICOs ended because it stopped being profitable to investors.

It is really the one reigning right now because of its secured system, and you are right that it will bring more volume to the market because most projects being listed on it does not take time before it gets sold out, the faster investors pump money into the marketcap through IEO, the faster we will see the increase that will generate the bull speed.

The only thing I have just notice that it’s a slow process because we don’t get to see lots of projects in IEO compared to the thousands of projects we see get developed through ICO, is it that project developers are ignoring the platform, or is it too expensive for them?

for now yes, i think IEO is much better than ICO and we all know why it happened.
ICO is fully of scam, fraud and how many investor getting loss in ICO and now birth IEO and is more safe than ICO.
that why IEO is choosen investor.
we need to stop scam project in ICO if we wan't ICO be like 2017 when all people believe in ICO.

Hmm, that is a hard one there, it depends, when it comes to benefits, ICOs can be more trusted and I still believe in them more because it does not segregate, it doesn’t limit the number of investors and gives chances to generally participate in the crowd funding, hunter’s even benefits a lot in ICO, which makes it more trustworthy for benefits that IEO.

In the other hand, IEO platform of this time is only trustworthy for the secured aspect of it, at least scammers are yet to penetrate it and building lots of confidence in investors again to invest in crowd funding projects but it doesn’t give much opportunities for people to generally be able to invest and exchanges are the ones benefiting what hunters would have benefited. It is a selfish system design by the exchanges.

Well, I have always known that, the fact we see it as an IEO project is really not a full guarantee that the project will not be dumped or fail. I love the concept of IEO and I love the intention of the IEO initiator, but it is not all about exchanges, there are too many loop holes that cannot be covered alone by the Exchanges.

The community behind the projects are the real problem we have, a lot of them do not trust the project they invested in, and they are not in it for a long term opportunity, the moment they see the short term opportunity once the project gets listed, they dump the coin for the profit, making the price go below the IEO price.

IEO Of course, it is more reliable than ICO, but only those that are conducted by large exchanges, are responsible for holding such events.
However, in the future, the IEO is also waiting for that ICO, because it’s the same thing.

So large and need to participate , they give a good profit , I think that on small exchanges is better not to go as it is unlikely there will earn

No, I believed more in ICOs in 2017, nowadays I don't trust anyone who raise money online. IEOs, I don't know how exchanges are performing KYC's over team members, or are they doing it at all, but if this trend continues every exchange will hold IEO and then we are back at ICO's.

IEOs are future of tokens and fund-raising industry but one thing I have learnt very much in the crypto space is that nothing last for very long, since the crypto market is free this means that there is so much competition and as long as companies keep thinking of how to bring improvement into the blockchain space, then I can say with boldness that we are going to see something else that is even more better than IEOs in the market.

yes I think the IEO is currently better than the 2017 ICO.
because currently the ROI of the IEO can reach 5 - 10x and in 2017 I only see a lot of ICO with 2x ROI
many people use this to recover their losses last year.

5-10 times? Very few people can buy and sell those tokens that they buy. This is mainly done by robots from large exchanges.

One of the existing shortcomings of the IEO is that many exchanges require identity verification (KYC). I am a supporter of anonymity in the world of cryptocurrency, so there will be less influence of regulators on this industry.
Has anyone reading this thread managed to make money on IEO?

I think the IEO will last until the end of 2019 because people are showing signs of discouragement when they cannot participate in good IEO projects. Maybe this is the most profitable investment channel, but only those who are really lucky will have the opportunity. In my opinion, instead of investing in the IEO, you can choose to invest in a coin exchange because every time there is news about the IEO, this coin can increase very strongly and you can sell it when its value reaches high

one-two IEO was successful, because its was something new, and have hype, I do not believe in success for next IEO same as ICO.

I saw the arrival of the IEO in 2019 really attracted a lot of money to crypto. It has become the trend, starting from Binance and has created a great influence on other exchanges. But I won't hope it will last long. Because there will be many projects following IEO, it is not high quality. And there will be many participants hoping to be able to xx the account. This is really not good, I think the IEO will end soon when it does not give investors the xx account they want.

Not always, in my opinion ICO is also still the choice of investors because the IEO is better in short-term investments while the ICO is long-term.

Pending the time we get it right, I think for now they are still playing their major reason why they are established, which is to stop scammers from using ICO to scam investors, there is no new system that will not develop a little challenge, and these challenges are what they will use to perfect their system.

I am sure that Binance and Bittrex are both looking into this issue of dump happening in exchanges too and it won’t be long before they find a solution to it, but for now, we just have to encourage IEO and not completely kill the process of crowd funding, if we continue to kill ourselves internally, we will give chance to SEC to fully have control using STO.

Yeah for now I'm not really know if this method will be stay forever since this is a new way of investing the trend is so much huge and some of IEO projects are really success after the IEO and more investors trust to IEO since the fund raising is happen on trusted exchange less risky for investors.

Considering all the happenings in the world of IEO one can say that, the system; has been launched recently and the success is encouraging but this might be as a result of it newness in the world of cryptocurrency. This was the same way ICO took but at the end it turned out to be scam.  

I have seen many project has been success by IEO .I think it will be a good strategy better than ICO .An exchange will make safe your fund so less stress to become scammed .I will support it on the other hand a good Project always become succeed  either its ICO or IEO.

If OP is going to do an IEO on their own exchange then that would defeat its purpose, you'd just be doing an ICO as it has no difference.
Weidex had been  planning it since last year, they did a bounty campaign last year and I they postponed thier ICO, they just don't see themselves getting funds.

How will I believe since I am unable to buy IEO? There is no point to believe them. Because, I believe exchange it self hold tokens and sold after listed. Eventually traders got REKT. Lots of people's are losing fund after buy IEO token on exchange. Only who are able to buy before listed exchange they are on profit and they believe as well. But I think very less people's are successfully buying IEO. I am not interested on that anymore since I failed multiple times.

When it comes to safer thing then i would trust up with IEO but this thing is just like double edge sword where you do
really able to benefit on the security but at the same time you would still able to lose out money- normal thing on investment world
but tendency on manipulation on IEO is pretty high but still i do much prefer this one compared to ICO.

As long as there is hype, it will make a good profit. But there are many nuances. Not so easy to take part. I had several attempts and they were all unsuccessful. In the future, only offers from good, proven exchanges will be successful in my opinion.

Maybe IEO is the probable alternative on ICO. IEO is more of a secured selling of coins for me and what bad thing I only see in this is, those exchange coins will now can defeat the sitting number 2 coin which is ethereum. But in terms of security, it is more secured than ICO.

ADAB solution project almost 22 week finished in pre ico and ico period and i think cannot reach hard cap. But they are launching new extra bounty 6 weeks and 1 million dollar collected in IEO session in IDAX exchange. But there are a lot of negative feedback about this project. Now team trying to following new trend IEO to hit project.
