The most dangerous thing in life is not to be able to see ahead of time,if you can't see ahead of time,you will always be cut up in the mist.So many are tired of ICO,as a matter of fact, ICO is almost dead,then came IEO presenting itself as a saviour of those investors that have suffered as a result of ICO,looking so tempting because some big exchange are backing it up,but i tell you,it can be more dangerous than ICO if you are not smart enough,atleast in the case of ICO,if price dump,it will dump on everyone,meaning there were some level of transparency,but for IEO especially with the big exchanges,the only thing we get to hear is that,it was sold out in seconds thereby creating an atmosphere that will make everyone to be looking forward to buy the moment it hit exchange,and the selected set of whales (hmmmm),who are already holding on to the coins are also ready to dump on people at a ridiculous price at exchange,after dumping it on people,then come a dump in price because the coin itself does not worth the price in the first instance,but because so much hype has been created in order to enrich themselves.I hope someone will wake up and not be cut up in the pool of loss.
   My candid advice,if you can't get it at IEO,don't be fool to buy at a ridiculous price the moment is listed. The rich are getting richer,don't be trapped.All the best.

I guess it is time for people to wake up to the reality that IEO is no better than ICO,some seeing IEO as a better option to ICO but like you rightly said,it can be more dangerous,it is just another way to scam people and it will surely get worst very soon.

so what different about another like BNB or ZIL even ETH.
did u think people is too stupid buying these coin more than 10x ico price ?
my opinion, its doesn't matter if we still get a profit,even if just 1-10%,at least we got profit.

The IEO did come very amazingly, it looks like a "superhero landing" but I am not easy to be directly interested in the IEO, I still prefer ICO, as evidenced by the project I have chosen now, I still prioritize ICO because even though ICO almost dies but it is only because bearish impact so that when the market recovers, the ICO will recover and will return to being a field for profit

I think the IEO is better than ICO and makes people trust investment again, so don't scare people here so that they don't participate in the IEO, instead IEO is better for now.

So do not overdo something extraordinary because it is not very good where they are not ready to face a very wild market and the responsibility that must be done, indeed most people here have been disappointed with the increasingly bad ICO and I cannot assume the IEO as superheroes or saviors for everyone, so we see that they won't last long if they don't do good procedures, we see how far they go.

The OP's post is long but his words of wisdom lies on the last sentence:

I thinks he's right. When IEO tokens get listed, their prices are pumped high by investor's hype and exchanges' people. And as a saying that I heard somwhere, goes: "Don't chase a running train", it's super risky to buy tokens when it's pumping.

But like you said, you can buy at listing time, as long as you get profit. High risk - high return, right?

Everything that has an advantage has a disadvantage. While many are thinking that IEO is way better than ICO but to confirm this, time. Is what we need. The fact that the IEO projects takes seconds is a major set back on the IEO because it doesn't give the small investors opportunity Tobe part of the project.

Very good word on ieos miss out but many won’t listen
This is a decentralized world after all

Kucoin giving airdrops to participants who missed the ieo was only sending out a proverb to those who understand

Anyways everyone is left to dyor

agree with you.. many people think that IEO may be more "safe" because it is backed by an exchange.. but i doubt that exchange will assume any responsability in case team fails or make an exit scam.. PLus all manipulation commented by OP, i woudl recommend to stay away. The best alternative to ICO , will be an STO. more regulation, safer environment!

FOMO, FOMO & FOMO People always faling on thats, Well iam understand that but sometimes they dont know went to exit on that kind investment. But iam really enjoy the fomo because makes me a good profit.

The warning is coming at a very good and early time. IEO is not in anyway different from ICO. They are both means of selling the tokens to investors. It is just the same concept applying different names. Be wise!

I like the fact that people are starting to understand that participation in IEO is a very dangerous thing. almost none of the ordinary people can buy coins on stock exchanges

To protect yourself from the IEO, you do not need to do anything, you simply will not be able to participate in it  :D :D :D

To me, IEO is almost a scam. Normal investors will not have a good experience with this. ICOs are not perfect, but anybody can invest there without an issue.

My only problem with IEO is KYC. Other than this, it is better than ICO in every way.

With IEO, the exchange does the necessary checks for you and reduced the chances of turning into a scam for the project. If the project still turns into a scam, you can blame the exchange. It'll also damage the exchange's reputation and they'll be losing customers too. It is centralized but in a good way.

With ICO's happening on the ETH chain, there isn't anybody to take responsible. Of course it is your duty to make your own research before investing but what if every 9 ICO out of 10 was a scam? Do you think you'll be able to find the right ICO out of 10? No. Then who'll be responsible for this crap? Not Vitalik of course, he doesn't give a fuck it is all decentralized.

IEO > ICO

But fuck KYC.

There weren't any arrangement that team did an ICO and at the same time doing IEO yet but it could be done right?

Transparency is one reason why blockchain is created, there are coins that is made for privacy but it  still  transparent at the same time, IEO  is certainly not transparent. I also think  this isn't a solution but just taking out marketing jobs for the bounty hunters.

But for now the IEO is a way out of the many garbage ICOs and scams. Investors will feel more loss when their money is lost during a scam, therefore the IEO appears to provide a solution to inevsetor.
Although the IEO has drawbacks, this is the best step to avoid scams

How so?  It isn't the way out, who knows it  might even be worst than ICO. 

I also agree with OP's sentiment.  The lack of transparency, the possible conspiracy between the whales and exchange, who knows, the token had been sold out even before it opens.  The possibility is there since it lacks transparency on who buys and how much. 

IEO is not an eternal topic, is it hyip like the ICO, the only question is how long will it live? In my opinion, it will subside faster than the topic with the ICO, as many initiates understand how to make money on it, after mistakes and missed opportunities with the ICO, so they will merge tokens immediately after exit, making such activity illegal for centralized exchanges, since obvious asset speculation!

I agree with your opinion that the IEO is not necessarily better than ICOS. But perhaps it depends on the time that ICOS or IEO is used by developers in the market situation that Bitcoin price is good or bad. These all have certain risks and good sides.

IEOs on bigger exchanges like Binance are becoming like the private sale of ICOs. Both are exclusive to bigger investors but one is guaranteed of listing.

Another hype created by exchanges but regular investors can't get in during this IEO. Most of them don't have the real foundation to begin with, just mere hype created by people. Faster way to sell their coins, but faster way to grab money from unsuspecting buyers.

The thing is, what exactly do you guys want? Sometimes ago you all complaing that ico is the biggest scam ever, now again you saying people to beware of ieo. I think we just need to accept one and hope for it good.

There is nothing wrong in IEOs but yes you are right about purchasing at higher price after listing on exchange and i think it is a basic point just like we say never chase the pumps or never fomo so yes we should not buy when a coin is already pumped 100 percent and above it will eventually result in loss when the coin settles to its realistic value.

The candles you see on the graphics are something like this : psychology. Trust also plays a role here, but earnings are always in main role. There are dozens of reliable ICOs, and if those involved in IEO participate in it, they can get the same result.

It is really difficult for all of us to buy at good IEO prices before they are exchanged. Therefore positive and negative factors always happen with the IEO when we can be the ones who hold the price. The good side is to avoid the whale and the good reputation of the organization. in general, we the IEO still shows that it can be an alternative of ICOS.

I've participated on IEO couple times in different exchange / launchpad, but until now I always failed and not fast enough to buying it, it's just like a flash sale, always getting sold out in just couple of seconds.

There’s still a risk for a small investors no matter what kind of investment. Having an assurance that the coin will be listed on a top exchange doesn’t mean its good for you to invest also. There might be more whales on IEO but if they continue that for sure it will become an ICO again, a fail system.

The only downfall of these IEO based coins is if these coins become a pump and dump coins, of course, the exchange where it held the IEO will check the project but after the IEO they do not have control anymore, so the success of these IEO based tokens are it's potential in the long term.

I think IEO is only good at binance It depends on the reputation who is conducting the IEO and I see IEO from them the price didn't drop from tokensale price which is good. The current result from other exchanges IEO seems like a bot it finishes in seconds and yet when it is listed the price drop, no investors would sell at low price right.

Therefore, it is necessary to participate in the IEO only in proven exchanges. Now many exchanges have picked up this wave, but not everyone can do it as well as for example Binance. So be careful.

Transparency thats the word I know it is hard but this exchanges should be transparent when it comes to at least the orders that were filled out. Having IEOs and launchpad will just get you rekt as you will hodl their coin then after the sale it will dump. They have to find a way to ensure that issues wont happen as well just like with CELR wherein accounts were logged out after the timer.

I agree with your some points like IEO completes in just minutes on big exchanges and only big whales get huge profit when it go live on that big exchange and when price dump it remain almost there for long time.So there must be some rules IEO during sale process.

it is indeed a wrong thing when we do not get coins in the IEO but buy them when they enter the market,
this is quite dangerous, because the price will drop shortly after entering the market, and that is evident from all the coins that have been listed with the IEO,
if my suggestion is not to buy coins, ie the new list in the market,
we better wait for it until the price falls.

Then what should you do, sit down and silent?  Here un crypto there are a lot of danger and just go with the flow. IEO guving hype for investors and thats good for everyone as ling as we get profit out of it. When se say trading there are always win or loss. If someone get loss then someone get profit. Its just depend on us which side we could be

Who would buy an IEO project that already hits 10x in price? If this is your point when it's same thing for ICO too so its not something new entirely ,I support IEO more than ICO sorry

Yes, be careful with the IEO, because not all trading platforms will succeed IEO. If you cannot purchase a token in the IEO, consider carefully before participating in the exchange after it is listed.

IEO is a dangerous thing in unskilled hands, it must be understood before you want to take part in it. The classic ICO will only be developed and refined. Not all projects place their tokens for sale on top exchanges, for obvious reasons. My opinion, IEO will last another year or two and leave without saying goodbye!

IEO is something new in Crypto and they will definitely offer new and more interesting things. But we also have to be careful because fraud can attack anything. Do not be easy to believe in anything and continue to do research.

I disagree with the statement. IEO is more advantage than ICO. There was a danger for mostly new to invest in ICO because of lack of knowledge of Crypto. And most of the fraud ICO took the money and quit. But here is confidence for IEO that it is arranged by exchange site where is guaranteed listing. But we should remember, we should invest in legit and trusted and popular exchange's IEO and also need to study the project before investing.

I think people need to be wise,because to many now,IEO has become a promised land but the truth is that it can be more dangerous,do not rush things, be smart.

Exchangesare doing greater damage to the space than we can imagine, the issue of IEO is worse than ICO that people are scared of now, we need to ask questions about these exchanges, most of them have 90% of their volume as fake and now with IEO they keep robbing people of their BTC, just look at Bittrex for example want to join the IEO club and then listed a scam project for people to invest into, if not for community effort the scam would have been successful raise million of USD using their platform

If there is danger on it, people would have no invest on it.
The fact that it has become popular now, I think this would tell that the investors are trusting it over the old ICO format.
With exchanges, they can list the coins right after and that will ease the liquidity problem especially if listed in big exchanges like houbi and Binance.

Solid advise. This is why people need to do their own research than following someone else. When ICOs started there was kind of same atmosphere as with IEOs these days.

Same thing I am saying, we are rejoicing because of IEO and how it is now working for the crypto community, but we have forgot that the ICO market was once like this until a set of people came to corrupt the market because they discovered that the crypto market is a free market and anyone can do whatever they like in the market without being queried by any body or organization, same is going to happen in the IEO market in time to come and we would begin to see a lot of scam exchanges that are going to plan a very good exist by launching an IEO just to get the funds of crypto investors.

Just due to the reason of changing the platform from bitcointalk to exchanges, this does not mean that we do not need to have our own due diligence. We must still need that. Moreover, we need to do our researches in more depth as now ICOs are coming with one extra layer of attractions but we need to be more careful as usual.

You are probably right, less and less people participate in ICOs and IEO looks like a way to get people to keep investing after a while it will just be a pool of dump

There is nothing wrong with being cautious of these IEOs. Those launched on bigger platforms like Binance are becoming centralized now and that is what many people do not like. The only way for smaller investors to buy now is to wait for those IEO investors to sell it to them. While ICOs have failed many due to these scams, it also gave a change for regular investors to participate.

IEO is a total waste of time for smaller investors. Looking at it now simply shows it was designed for just the whales. ICO is far better than an IEO because it givers every investor an equal opportunity

All kinds of investment carries some risk whether its ICO or IEO.

But IEO under a reputable platform carries much lower risk compare to traditional ICO. since Investors are secure that they can easily liquidate their holdings after the IEO with the guaranteed listing from the IEO platform, While ICO is one way ticket investment since most of the time they will never get listed on exchange.

All people are well aware of what the IEO has been created on the big exchanges. They are needed primarily to raise the rate of the tokens of the exchanges themselves. For this, they use the IEO of new projects, to which only no more than 10% can get into. The exchange buys the rest itself. It is the desire to make money that pushes investors to buy stock tokens and further participate in the IEO.

And not even all whales have time to buy tokens. Only exchange and the project earn money.
I decided that I would no longer try to take part in IEO. By the way, why did everyone forget about the STO? For exmple, tokemonica?

The risk of fraud in the IEO is quite low, the exchange will not risk its own reputation. But it is worth to choose only proven exchanges.

I am still of the opinion that IEOs will be far better than ICOs If only top exchanges like Binance and Kucoin can control there greed and embrace transparency and fair play. Allocating over 75 percent of IEO token sales to the team is wicked and harmful to the ecosystem

Right. lately there have been a lot of IEO or ICO fraudsters who just want to reap profits without thinking about the loss of others. before we invest in the IEO or ICO, we need to study and analyze beforehand so we can avoid losses.

if for example bittrex will announce start of IEO 99% we will be sure it is not scam. so why we should beware? becides when there will be more projects people will have to choose in what project they want to invest. so ieos will take more time than few seconds.

Right, and we as investor shouldn't easy to contribute in IEO, sometime I thought, is it real investors who join in IEO? as example in Exra**s, because personally, I have seen many fake trade on that exchange for gain high volume on the market. So, I guess we should to be careful in IEO, ICO, and also STO (all), esspecially for IEO, it would be good if we contribute or join with IEO in trusted exchanges, like above.

until now we dont know the dark side of the IEO right, lets say what are you trying to say was right, but my opinion IEO more safe than ICO, because IEO already partnering with third party exchanger, at least investor fund cant be stolen right.

IEO still a new programs and only available in the top of exchange. We need to wait and see to see if IEO is better than ICO. People and investor were now searching another way to make money, and if they believe in IEO, then I think they will invest in IEO. They will have the option to invest with IEO or not. The name will change but the main reason will be the same as before, and before it can be proved as the new way to make money for the investor, it's better they be careful to decide.

IEO for me is way far better than ICO. It provides more security to you and will not scam you on buying their tokens. That's why they have KYC on IEO. KYC provides more security to the person who does this but I think KYC is not necessary in buying coins that why I think this is just the downside of it, nothing more nothing less. IEO may probably not scam since it's been backed by exchange, reputable exchange. You just need to find an exchange that is reputable and that's it.

IEOs are representing a new art of ICO and there is nothing to be scared off. The main problem is the scheme of those token sales, because people are using scripts to get tokens and a regular buyer simply has no chances at all.

The IEO is still new and no one knows about the dark side of the IEO and in my opinion it is an important thing that must be reviewed to be able to get an answer whether this is a high risk category or not

Now I think the hype of IEO is over, it's just another tool to promote projects. Be careful with the conditions of participation in the IEO, when a small exchange says that you should hold tokens for some time, think a few times, the token may fall in price during this time.

I agree with you and I already suggested my fellow country people that If you can't buy from the IEO then don't buy that token from the exchange! Yes, we believe big platform exchange's IEO gets big hypes, but every coin sold out within 10 seconds! This is like not believable! Then we can say Binance IEOs were better than Bittrex and Kucoin! I don't believe Bittrex has more popularity than Binance, they can't be sold out within 10 seconds. However, we really need to think twice before buying this big exchange's IEO token from the exchange!

I dont think so, in many instances like the good reputation exchange for example like Binance, it is known that Binance not to list a shitcoin or a platform without a "solid proof of usability" and true use case of utilization thats why im very confident that IEO on Exchange like Binance is more safer than any other Exchange that offering IEO services, Im just raised my point about it. and Im not againts on traditional ICO, But due to many scams thats still happening arround, Its better to regulate ICO's now or forget the ICO's. forever.

Its not new thing per se, it was already offer by YOBIT Exchange for some years now. but i think they already stop offering such service now because i cannot find the page for their IEO Pages

I have feeling IEO will followed by others exchanger and held not only by big exchanger. Hotbit and Bitforex already make announcement will held IEO and i think this become new stage in crypto market.

I am strongly agree with you because i observed in the last few projects which launched from binanace and bittrex exchange. IEO is suspecious things in my senses. Why token sold out a couple of minutes. And majority of the coin of total supply own big whales. But i think investors just believe that for big exchange.           

Look at the project and of course you need to exchange where you participate , but now you can participate in many exchanges , as the risk that you earn is extremely high

its okay , actually IEO better than ICO. IEO give more secure to investor because their project and team already get audit by team from exchange market. its good to buy IEO but when the price pumping its too dangerous

I think it's natural that many people say the IEO is more than ICO because as we know the IEO is more promising in security, investors prefer the IEO because of the security factor. The ICO committed a lot of fraud against investors because it was very natural that many people left the ICO.

Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) has become so popular and so lucrative in recent times that I think it will lose this power in the market in the coming period. Although we do not change the fact that the projects that are placed on the market with this method provide a very serious profit, I would like to remind you that Initial Coin Offering (ICO) projects also provided very nice gains during the first popular periods. This is the case in Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) projects, and this investment method will soon be used for bad purposes in the market. For this reason, we should make a good research about the project to be invested in this kind of investments and pay attention to the quality of the service we will provide. In addition, although these services are of high quality, one day we will witness the fact that Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) transactions have lost their market power and impact.

Im heard also about IEO that was coming in this year and ive found some of them in the bounty campaign that im participated but in the end the distribution was going to long. Ill dont know if some investor invested on IEO because this was only new in crypto.

any token can lose the price and ICO tokens do this even more often than IEO tokens. so investors must understand their risks and take decision themselves.

What's IEO I never heard of it, but seems interesting though  :-\  . oh I understand now IEO is "Initial Exchange Offering" very different with ICO. the point is no matter what you chose to investing in crypto everything has high risk.

Indeed, for the IEO it is very prone to suffer losses, especially if you have already bought when the price has risen high, I think if you want to try the IEO it is better to buy when sales are the best, but usually the IEO must have sufficient capital that can be handled by raising funds from several people who bought

Yes, you are right bro.
And this experience happened to me.I failed to get the token at the time of the IEO and finally I decided to buy when the token listed Exchange.
Yes as you said, I buy at a very high priceand I can't sell it at a price higher than the first time I buy it.
And after that I know, if I failed to get a token at the time of the IEO then I will not buy the token on the exchange. Because this will make me lose some of my money.  :'(

A word is enough for the wise they say
If anyone feels they can handle the profits and loss margin involved in purchase of ieo tokens after crowdfunding
Then it’s a personal decision to be accomplished without Remorse

None the less, always dyor

Your opinion makes a lot of sense. I think if  anyone is  buying into any IEO project after the launch on exchange, the person should take time to consider the uniqueness of the project and its long term proposal. Look at V-block on bitrex it did terribly after the listing and I think people who got it immediately after the listing would be at great loss right now..

Yep, this is what I always say too, to most people who are saying IEOs are better than ICOs. IEOs for sure have an advantage to ICOs with their listing within their own platform but the catch is the company behind the exchange has the power to manipulate all trading volumes and specially the prices.

IEO is another gimmick for fundraising and now the exchanges want to make the big money. You can play the hype but beyond that, don't know. Will just end up like ICOs one day.

High risk high reward. I have seen people those who bought in IEO and they have got their profit. That's the main purpose of them and us in crypto market. For me, I don't fomo to buy when listing :D

honestly , i dont think the IEO is a high risk category, for now.
because i just think the exchanges have specified rules,i guess to avoid price being dump.
its important i think for make the exchange most trustworthy
and the next IEO will get more enthusiasm

In my opinion, IEO is better than ICO. It is backup with big exchanges which s good coz you'll avoid being scam. You can get a good profit from it just don't be greedy. But i don't think tokens from IEO are good for long hold. I participated on 2 IEO's and got profit from it.

Thanks for the candid advise OP, in as much as we all believe in IEO as a savior for investors, I have also come to realize that these investors we claim to be protecting are not even able to have access to the token as they get locked out by these “sold out in seconds” system they are using to deceive us and even if you eventually succeed in participating, they impose a minimum amount of token you can buy which is also not quite small, no matter how little the price may seems.

It automatically imply that the system was created simply created for the whales to have fun. Until I see an IEO exchange placing maximum order on their project and removing the minimum order shit that is too expensive to even buy before I can pay attention to them.

ICO will eventually prove to be the best way to fund  crypto projects. It just needs to be improved to make things harder for scammers and prevent substandard projects from getting funded. I do not think it should be replaced with alternatives that are not transparent, permissionless, have little accountbility, no communty and are centralized.

IEO is a trending word nowadays. Because after a long time investors saw a good option to make profits! Every BTT investor made a huge profit but only a very few people could buy the coin from the Binance launchpad! I agree with you that we shouldn't buy IEO coins from the exchange, only buying from the IEO sale can give a good profit. But still, some potential coin can give you good money even after the exchange listing!

I guess too, IEO is just another term for ICO just so happen that it will occur on exchange. Nonetheless, the process is the same as ICO. Concluding that in the future days IEO will just become another version of ICO, full of frauds full of scams fueled by greedy investors.

It is also happening in today situation will be a trend now so the possibility of getting scam everytime will also been available in this market so the situation of ICO will also been probably happening for IEO right now everything you need to control under your experience with intelligence then when you can survive with the profit every time.

I will try to avoid to purchase IEO token after it has already traded, it's too risky but this is a personal risk that anybody wanna buy that must deal with it. We must see that about how the price of FET was getting a big decrease and that should be the main reason.

yes in recent times it will be more popular about the mind set of people find it will giving the drawing for everyone who are trusting it but we cannot say it will completely happened in every time we need to be aware everything it will be the right idea about the investors and you need to be careful like we are not taking care about the ICO investment but this time I need to be more aware

IEO is one of the answers that are often asked by investors; "when exchange?" Now, IEO is more popular and this trend may last longer than the general method.

I agree with this. When doing IEO the exchange where the project landed gets an instant exchange. It's easy as that. There were a lot of questions from bounty hunters and investors asking when they can see to exchange their invested/payment tokens.

I see some truth about some of the statement you have mentioned above. In fact IEO is one of the smartest way now that many project are using to offer sales. Well it is true that having backup from exchange does not mean the token will not get dumped. exchange platform like Latoken that offer such features is one of the worst I have experienced. 99% of token listed on the platform get dumped massively. I am still monitoring Asobi coin as well. maybe much of the reason why exchange listing is being delayed.

IEO being the latest trends now, definitely scammers are gonna hijack it,  so it's better to just be aware for now and know the kind of IEO that one will invest in so as not to fall a victim

I don’t get you, kindly read his write up all over again, he never for once advised you to buy an any IEO that is already high in price, in fact he typically frowned against it and that is why he said IEO projects may be pumped and dumped later which is right, so his advice is not to rush into buying the High price we see but wait till things unfold and clear before we can make any move.

IEO project are gaining massive increase the instant they hit exchange because of the rush in it, a time will come that once the rush has died down, massive dumping by the investors within that short period too is very likely to occur because of the high profit they would have gotten, so best to buy after dumping has occurred,

A lot of hype around IEO lately. I would treat this trading system with suspicion. We all remember 2017 and the prices at the peak of bullrun. It smells the same.

I think its different between IEO and ICO. IEO held by exchanger and its guarantee will listed in that exchanger after token sale ended. But for ICO, many ICO last year still not listed in exchanger. IEO can be scam if the exchanger is a scam and i think its much better participating IEO in big and reputable exchanger

It depends how you see a scam coin. Many ICO was scam because they took your money and the coin is never tradable on any exchange and thus, you lost your money. IEO, however, has a partnership with an exchange that will listed that new coin so you can trade your money.

My personal view is, never buy into the coin that is overhype and has bullshit vision.

IEO format of fundraising is really good as the best exchanges choose only worthy projects, so investors will not invest in scams. Unfortunately, the only interest of the most people is to get fast profit on IEO which is bad for the project.

IEO shows pretty good progress
Paytomat raised 100 BTC in 100 seconds during their IEO https://cmc.io/coins/paytomat

ICOs are not dead, they are just transforming into a new form. In my opinion, IEOs won't be such a big trend within the next several years. They are in trend, because from 35k people, only 1k can take part. As soon as they will fund a mechanism where everybody would  be able to take part, they will turn to regular ICOs.

I also agree with both the above post, it is very important to take note of the above mentioned, i know all the exchanges involve in conducting IEO's have their disclaimer, so there is no chance the exchanges will assume any responsibility when the team failed or project encounter any Exit Scam,
i will carefully watch any ieo am interested in to see how it will perform after listing on exchange for several days or weeks before putting any money because as mentioned above there is every tendencies that there will be a dump after the hype has died down.  

Most of the people said that ICO is dead. But, they are absolutely wrong about it. Days by days, project keeps creating more ICO and ICOs but most of them are keeps fail lol.

No doubt some IEO are living up to expectations, some IEO are just shity projects. Bittrex an exchange held in high esteem once cancelled their very first IEO sighting integrity protection been a priority. Just imaging if such IEO was in an exchange that careless about reputation, investors would have been burnt in the long run. Carrying out one diligent research about any project regardless of the exchange conducting the IEO is part of investment wisdom.   

There's really so much hype in IEO that people trust this kind of crowdfunding because the majority of investors likes quick profit, there is no such thing as a perfect investment or safe investment, there will always a risk, I hope people will not find it late, just like they do lately in ICO.

I also think that IEO is a threat to us and our community. Today we have IEO, but this is not at all like decentralization and not like what we are really fighting for. I think this is all really awful.

I also think that there are several big scandals with fraudulent IEOs ahead of us that will involve major exchanges and IEO will die just like ICO.
In my opinion, in this situation it is not necessary to reinvent the wheel. We just need government regulation of ICO. Then the fraudsters will leave forever from this market.

With the IEO the price manipulation is done by traders known to the exchange. They take your money as you buy high and get trapped. In ICO a scammer takes your money and runs. Either way, you lost your coins

I have come to notice that initial exchange offering IEO has a lot of discrepancies associated with it. You are right and I agree with your advice and warnings. My only worries is that slot of people will fail to heed to the advice.

When i saw the hype of IEOs being spread through this community i knew this was a dangerous thread to walk on as a crypto investor. Most of the IEOs that have been conducted don't have any potential use case but the usual pump and dump scenario. I would rather invest in a project that has a working product that these recent IEOs that are being run in the forum.

During this short time of this process, I have not yet drawn conclusions that would help me figure out how to be and why I should be afraid of IEO, if today you can start this process to raise money successfully.

Same thing applies to 90% of ico's that have been conducted overtime, most of this project don't have any potential use case but same pump and dump process, this is the same thing that is happening in ico's as applied to IEO, but good thing about IEO for now is that there is a bit level of security compare to scammy ico's flying around, and am surprise at your yard stick to measure IEO that is very recent over ico's which have been around for a quite a long time now with majority have no potentials.

Of course, I do not argue that there is now a big stir around ieo, but now almost all the exchanges take on different projects and not all of them end up well directly for investors, therefore I advise you to study the project before investing.

IEOs are better than ICOs at least because there is documentation and verification done by the team that wants to list their token for an exchange sale. If they dump or scam, they put themselves at risk of being caught since their information is held by the exchange and they can submit this to financial authorities for prosecution.

But for people to be safe, I'd advise that they invest in projects that have at least started operating to an extent and not just jump at any project that claims to want to do an IEO simply because they see it as a fast funds raising scheme. Stay safe.

There is no need to castigate IEO for the hype it has created. IEO is the new ICO. We need a new approach that will bring in as many as possible investors into the market and IEO is doing just that so far. All I could see is a similar thread with ICO in 2017, where there was so much bubble around it and everyone was carried away with the hype. I see the same thing happening with IEO and I feel while everything is still rosy, just jump in and enjoy the ride with the tide, but know when to jump out when the bubble is going down.

The essences of investimg is to make profit, in as much as you werent able to buy during the IEO doesnt mean you can not read your candle sticks and buy after listing... the most important factor to note is not buying the moon but buy to make profit. I see no reason why IEO will not stay longer than ICO

I am not satisfied with your statement. This is too ambiguous because so far, what I have read about IEO has been in favor of IEO and only few limitations. How can an exchange double-cross you? IEO projects have to pass a very vetted and strict assessment before the IEO gets conducted on the exchanges. And keep in mind that exchanges like Binance would never loot her users to loose the prestige made since long. IEO is safe for investors.

But, IEO is basically different from ICO in terms of credibility. There will be no need of reading candle stick to decide your trades, you may simply believe into the exchanges to finalize your trades. IEO will stay longer or not is purely dependent on how honest those exchanges will be.

IEO is a unique way of getting a great project to the community! The advantage is that most of the Launchpad has already conducted the KYC procedure, therefore there are no other "obstacles" for the investor. It also creates a better overview and insight in the type of different projects and their purposes.

Thanks for the advice but theoretically its all the same fate with ICO ,just because IEO sold out in Seconds to minutes that doesn't mean that investors will start to invest in any projects launching IEO through binance or other popular exchanges ,research is still needed to avoid lose in the future ,my advice is don't be fooled by popular exchanges but believe in your research on the projects before investing

You must try to do the right free approach for the implementation of their projects. I think that it is necessary to have just experience here and that is exactly what we have today. I think that here you can see that investing in general is already a very serious topic for many investors and they do not make sharp movements as before.

IEOs are a great opportunity to raise money on the falling market, because they are representing a very strong trend at the moment. Moreover, it gives a guarantee that those tokens that were sold are going to be listed on an exchange directly.

for the IEO since binance released launchpad there were many who followed the latest I found the project which is ICO but they changed it to IEO and offered tokens with their own launchpad which would not necessarily be successful in the future and in my opinion it could have an adverse effect on the IEO that has circulated

What I can say in all these is just the abuse of systems. Certainly whatever that has happened to be a success always has its fake coming up or present. ICO investment was a huge success until it was abused, same will be for IEO's, however people are becoming more wary and careful going by a lot of horrendous experiences in the so called crypto investments. However with the proliferation, there will appear to be more scam than real till it becomes increasingly difficult to find a genuine one then the post will shift

In addition, there is no need to be an early investor to get an Xs. In addition to FA, you can use TA. It takes time to trading history. A cautious conservative investment approach can reduce the risk to almost zero. This is a way to invest, not to participate in ISO, IEO or anywhere else.

IEO is indeed a fairly good ICO development, because it is directly sold in the market, and goes to the address that we already have. well, but, I think there is currently no better IEO than ICO. well, this might only be a matter of time. however, some of the IEOs that I have noticed are not better than ICO results.

It will also be abused in a way later on. Its just a matter of time before its going to be uncovered. There were lots of exchange projects last 2018, those exchange projects must have seen this IEO coming which they probably have been paving it for newer scam trend. Not all team are trying to partner up with exchange launchpad though so there are still ICO.

Most of us pray and wish to buy a token in the IEO and sell it when listed. Because it's really risky if you buy it after listing when the price has increased many times.

Well I think the IEO or ICO have the same risk. There is no quarantee the token/coin that being offered on the exchange/IEO will be a successful project or has high price. There is even a possibility that prices will be controlled by whales due to recent IEO hype as the OP mentioned. I think everyone should be smart before making decision.

you think IEO may be scam. however especially,in cryptocurrency world,a lot of coin are doubt scam.if you are afraid of scam excessively,it is better for you not to involve cryptocurrency invest. Many crypt investors understand that a certain number of coins are fraudulent or suspicious. on that,they aim for short-term profit, stand still, or partner with the exchange to aim for profit from listing

Despite possible whales' control over IEO token there's a guarantee that investors will be able to sell it at a some profit in a week or less. ICO sale requires much more time to wait for an exchange listing.

IEO looks nice opportunity to attract a exchange listing in a short term, the true is that exchange ask some big amount of tokens and pump this coin to get big profit right after trading starts.

I have long understood what the IEO is. This is another trap from exchanges how to get your money. They show you the illusion of growth in the price of a new coin and offer to buy stock tokens at the beginning in order to be able to earn money on the growth of the price of a new coin. However, the problem is that far from everyone can buy a new coin, but exchange tokens are required to buy. On this and earn exchanges.

What we must be aware is, the hype of IEO. We must take action with clear planning, not based on the hypes around us.
IEO is a good thing, investors can investing their money to some trusted projects in cryptocurrency and whales are not a threat for us.

To be honest, the combination of ICO and big exchange is really huge. That's why IEO is really popular on big exchange and sold out fast but when it listed on small exchange, the sell is low and not even sold out.

IEO is not 100% safe i agree, so i hope there is no problem on IEO in the future.

even developers team launched their crowdfunding in IEO , i think there is still possibility tobe scam.maybe not in early stages, but after few months we have to keep update from developers team.exit scam after listing in exchanges still possible to happen.

I think the IEO hysteria will subside in couple of months, especially if exchanges wont add more layers of bot detection. But even if they sort out that issue, the human bot farms will still be a pain in the ass and a big obstacle of successfully participating in an IEO for a regular guy.

The best chance to get in is to buy when it's trading live, you can have a good price with a good timing.
If they will pump it, of course don't get in yet, big investors will surely make profit by pumping it but when it's stabilize or will trade below it's IEO price, that would be a good time to enter.

You know what. For every single ICO and token offering, there are so many risks but this one IEO is the newest one with such implemented strategy and security so the legitimacy is already proven...

An ICO is much more risky than an IEO, as the projects are being verified by exchanges, too, before starting the IEO.

Or, big exchanges will never risk their reputation to allow bad projects on their platform.

exchanges also bet their reputation if their IEO failed and could not give investors profits.but so far IEO many times give investors alot of profits moreover IEO on binance, okex and huobi.

I guess so when the IEO become popular, and many projects follow the previous projects, that will be a good time to start to be a scam project like we saw in the ICO. Now they need to convince the investor that IEO is the new solution to make money from cryptocurrency and I am sure that they will use many ways to show how good are the IEO. So if you want to invest in the IEO, make sure you prepare for the worst and always research before invest.

Since, we already know every possible ways scammers can use in taken advantage of the IEO platform, we need to also help ourselves by not fallen victim of the scam. Now, we don’t have to go through the hurdles of having to do thorough research on every project again by simply going for IEO projects through a very reputable exchange’s.

Binance started this IEO platform first and we already know how well Binance has been performing, they have already blocked every loop holes that the scammers might take advantage of on their own platform, and the only safety they can guarantee are that of its users and those participating in any IEO project they approve.

As the author said we must be careful what we are investing in. Dot get so closer to hype before you do your own research. Do not be so greedy otherwise you can loose a lot like any of the ICO.

Absolutely correct, IEO means creating the positive purchaption in the investors mind and another thing is it's best way to huge funding collect to showing big exchange. And it's a big hype against ICO at the moment.

I think that doing crowdfunding through ICO is more dangerous than IEO.
In IEO, they have a third party (Exchanger) who manages the fund. So, the developer and the team cannot commit fraud easily.
And also the developer and the team need to pay a large fee to list it on their Exchange.

It's really a big way to scam people. Many are rushing into it now because of some success IEO has recorded not knowing that anything good can also be manipulated by some dubious individuals.

People currently looking at IEO like the new savior after ICO had failed many, but in my own view, I don't see IEO better than ICO, ICO was also amazing when it was first Introduced years ago.

But it will benefit the project team not the investors.So if anyone want to invest on IEO's just reconsider about it.

I haven't thought of this possible scenario once IEO replaces ICO. This is really alarming that it is possible that whales or even the exchange it self would buy the coins for them to set a price in the market. By declaring it sold-out, this would most likely create a hype and thosw who were late to buy during IEO would do panic buying.

Yes, everyone thinks that the IEO is perfect and will not be a problem because it is already available in exchange, this can be used by scammers to cheat more than ICO.

But for this year the IEO is better than the ICO because it is clear that if the sale is finished, they will be listed on the stock exchange, they will do the IEO, so it is the target of remembering investors to quickly enter the exchange.

I can't judge it already on whether it's bad to invest in IEO or not but I guess it's too early to say that it's a trap. Maybe a further understanding on what this new trend can bring to the table rather than throwing it away without giving the benefits of the doubt.

There are risks in any kind of investment, since the environment itself is attractive to scammers. And in this case, success is formed from experience, care and trust, which is a priority for IEO to attract investors. But caution does not hurt.

Not at all. ICOs and IEOs are very different things. People might call it the old wine in a labeled bottle but the case is very different and it is in fact a new form of raising funds for the startups who can feel that it is different from ICOs in many respect like the time for fund raising, the security and the marketing thing being done by the platform and many other things. You need to check the details.

Indeed, every investment we made, there is always a risk. Investing in IEO give certainty in listing in exchanger and not waiting too long like when we invest in ICOs. But i think many ICOs are profitable and have a chance to success when start listed in exchanger

Wow, you literally finished that long remarks of you in 6 sentences

---

ICO, IEO, ITO all of these initial offerings have risk. If you wanted to have a lesser risk on investing in these, you should be doing your own research in order for you not to get scammed by these. The real title in this thread should be, beware on investing, DYOR.

These IEO require the same serious study as ICO projects before investing in them. Exchange can't guarantee you the success of the project in which you invest

It baffles me how ICO's tend not to be a popular term these days unlike some mothers or years ago, currently some bounties and projects advice their participants and promoters not to mention anything regarding to ICO when mentioning them. However ICO's lasted longer and made some profits for a lot of persons, but I don't think IEO's will last a real reasonable duration, people are more wary

Must be vigilant and also not arbitrary in following the IEO. If possible, we will follow the IEO, which has previously done the IEO and succeeded. or follow those who have a pretty good exchange trust like Houbi or Binance. avoid any loss later

Any investment has a risk, however, we must carefully choose the type of investment so that it will be profitable. IEO is an alternative to attract investor interest which has declined almost 2 years. Currently the IEO is an answer for some investors, but we remain cautious when investing.

If that's true and binance can easily accepted it. I think that most of them are fake partnerships. So many suspicious icos that created fake partnership only for marketing purpose. This already known by a lot of people in the past. That's fake, dude.

Seeing ahead of tine is a gift if nature
It doesn’t belong to everyone to notice

But research work is vital
The more you learn; the more you know
And the more skill you develop

One of the issues with ICOs, is that scammer often use official telegram chats to impersonate team members and give fake addresses to contribute to. For an IEO, all transactions are carried out on the exchange’s IEO platform. T his will reduce the risk of sending your crypto to a wrong wallet address. I still think ieo is safe,  just ensure to do research on the project before investing...  Goodluck

We have to be sure when you invest your money, may i ask you a questions guys how much should be the price for any coin when to make it is almost free?

If the exchanges collude with the developers of the project, they will eventually lose
IEO is a test of the credibility and transparency of exchanges, although in the end it is the responsibility of the investor to decide
the link between the time selling and the realization of the project for profits immediately after listing of exchange inaccurate .
many successful projects have reached hardcap in minutes and have suffered losses since .
only the most important roadmap.

The only winner in all these IEO or ICO is exchange, whether you loss money or make money they make profit. Most of these IEO are shady and I believe exchanges are the ones buying the tokens by themselves and selling it to retailers, if you can't get into these projects at Private sale level at least just don't bother invest into it.

This information is quite helpful in this period of IEO. Most of us are unaware of the way the market respond to issues of this nature. I believe this will help us to understand the way IEOs are enriching the whales.

I think ICO, IEO or STO are all the good and bad at the same time. Their goodness and badness are determined by a project launching them. If a project has genuine purpose and good, it will launch a good ICO, IEO or STO. So we should focus on finding out whether we are investing in a good project or not. So all ICO, IEO or STO are a means of fund-raising to support a project financially.

No offense but you don't point exactly the difference, in terms of good project, they can be launch at any platform, may it be in ICO or IEO, but the point here is the market, people are trusting more on IEO, so let's say the both good project launch in ICO and IEO respectively, which do you think will succeed? Of course the IEO since more investors are putting their money through it.

Investments like coins that have two sides, between profit and loss are the same, this is what makes us have to be vigilant in placing money at ICO, IEO and STO, always reading the whitepaper is the first step to determine the next step.

I am agree, investing in ICO, IEO or STO always have a risk. But right now IEO have a momentum and every new project want to raising the fund from IEO. If we decide to invest in IEO, better choose reputable exchanger because right now, small exchange do launch IEO too. Its more safe for us if we join in big exchanger and i think its more liquid

I still believe IEO is far better than ICOs. It is more secure and cheaper. But an intelligent and clever investor will not expeditiously invest in such IEO without enough knowledge and without further reading some feedbacks from it. Though there are so much positive reviews about IEO, being careful in every decisions is so important.

I love this post, it has successfully exposed the modus operandi of IEO and how the value could be manipulated for the benefit of the whales. One needs to be very careful in choosing projects to participate in during the IEO. Not all that glitter is gold.

I think we should be aware from newly launched exchange , whenever we are working in ico's to last long time.more over we can't say ieos, ico's & sto's are bad.but ultimately we should be very careful.

See, it turns out that over time, today, they are already beginning to understand that using IEO is not entirely safe, because there are real opportunities to invest in new startups, I am sure that many people already use them, but do not speak publicly.

Just like I have always said; ieos are good and reigning
But they have flaws just like ico

So participate just at your risk; but minimize your risk by a concrete research and facts
To guide your decisions

Indeed, for the IEO it is very prone to experience dumps I suggest if people want to buy it is recommended not to buy when the price goes up, but buy it when the sales offer starts, even if the funds are not enough, I suggest collecting the same person who wants to buy then buy the IEO token or if you can't buy at the time of entering the market

A very stern warning that was basically ignored
But with recent situations that happened to celer project price
maybe we will be wary of ieos after all

The trouble most times is us going for any coin possible I Think you need to think deep and analyze what you are buying and also the exchange you are buying from Not all exchanges tends to be faithful and trustworthy You need to be able to trust such exchanges first before trying anything new and once they have value then what about the coin and its devs What do you know about that too

IEO replacing ICOs does not really solve any problems, Many projects that could not raise enough cash from ICOs are now switching to IEO without a corresponding improvement in project proposals. So essential, IEOs are now a better means to raise cash and not necessarily producing better project. We really should keep our eyes peeled.We will start to see the scams soom

IEOs are upgraded version of ICOs, hyped a bit by the  exchanges. Investors are excited about them nowadays as many of them were scammed in ICOs and lost their funds. It is good that investors coming  back and started investing in IEOs as new projects needs fuel for development.

IEO is better than ICO in some form, and in this regard ICO too have got more good in it. IEO is in its early stage, and surely when days pass some issues will arise when the entire focus has turned towards IEO. In recent days almost every project has turned successful and further the same won't be taking place. By that time we can conclude the reality with IEO.

Sad to say that I would agree on this some IEO projects are not really good in terms of their product. The only thing they are above IEO price is all because of the hype on the IEOs nowadays. And do not buy token/coin at higher IEO price, that's my advice for the newcomers.

The only good thing about IEO is the guaranteed listing after the public sale, Since this will safeguard the investors and ensure market liquidity after the sale. This is 100% more secure compare to traditional ICO that takes atleast 6 months to get listed on an exchange or worst never got listed at all.

Those who really understand the sense of investment and not just listening to someone else's advice have long been aware of which projects it is worth investing in and which not. Therefore, ICO lost the trust of only inexperienced investors like me.

I was not aware that the ICO had evolved that fast. I thought STO, was the right direction for ICO's to go these days, I have to admit though, this thread is the first time I've heard it called IEO. The first thing that had came to mind was "Internet explorer"  ;D

You are absolutely right, of late anywhere you pass IEO is on high levels but that is not it when you dig deep. Many investors ho into it and then realize the trap they've fell into. Indeed ICO is gradually sinkinglets not easily fall for these IEO's. Most are with the same agenda.

choosing IEO and ICO is actually the same too, we have to see a really good project, and have real progress. such as clear products, and competent developers. we must consider carefully.

Probably there are always situations when people get completely different results of their actions. I think that all the same it will be possible to do real productive projects. But there are scammers that are very difficult to destroy.

however we must remain vigilant because there is nothing perfect here especially the IEO because this is a system that still has many weaknesses.
so we really need to remain vigilant even though the IEO has produced good results for others but not always for us.

For me investing in a good project depends on personal research carry out before taking step to invest to avoid scam, again choosing IEO or ICO I don't see any big deal in them rather find out more details about the project before investing.

Any investment is risky, and also who want invest on IEOs should always choose trusted exchanges and always invest only money that afford to lose, because can take some time to get a profit.

I agree with you. Investing too much in an IEO is very dangerous. If you have already managed to earn money, then you can invest a part of your profit in IEO. I think this is a safe strategy.

Less of people participate in ICOs and IEO, And it  looks like it is the way to get people to keep investing to their project after that, it is just a full of dumping prices.

Ieo though carry a risk, but still it is the only way to disperse your deposit.  Unless of course you approach the choice of the project wisely.

There are very strong IEOs as well and the advantage is that exchanges don't want to lose their reputation by promoting scams! But of course you are right and one should always take care when it comes to investing!

I always say everything about cryptocurrency is risky hence you need to psyche your mind and prepare for whatever will happen. I think there are strong IEOs as well as weak ones however I hope the strong ones outweighs the weak ones.

The truth is that cryptocurrency investment is a big risk and one have to be very careful when investing. Yes, IEO is the order of the day but some of them can still turn out to be a scam. As an IEO investor, I will advise to participate in IEO of major exchanges and not the ones that are not recognized in the crypto space.

IEO is just a new trend to try and grab money from investors. Soon the time for IEO is over and there will be another term that sounds cool. Not sure what it could be though.

Buying and IEO could be dangerous, the buyer during the token offering are after quick gain, the innocent ones who couldn't buy in the IEO and are eager to buy are usually the victim of this pump and dump IEO.

One recent observation I have about IEO is that it doesn’t let us know or be aware of the truth
The truth depends on trust in the exchange platforms

Always dyor

That's a wonderful piece. Yes, ICOs turned out to be another thing which causes pain to investors thus there migration to IEOs.
What to know is, the team that created ICOs and exit scam, can still come back to carryout IEO. Thus the reason it's important to participate in IEOs taking place in trusted exchanges. In addition, more research should be done on each project before investing.

So, just want to share my thoughts regarding it, 90% of top CMC exchanges show fake IEO results and volumes, I know it from my XP.
Unfortunately, only several exchanges are able to attract investments  :P

I agree that IEO is better than ICO, but the word "scam" can go anywhere even if there is only a small gap, a lot of silly IEO that run on low exchange volumes but get $ 1- $ 2 million, that's not logical

The reason investors are investing is to make gains and profits,IEO is delivering that since day one and you did have a point about some projects giving out false claims about 'token sold out' but this only happens on not too big exchanges for example idax but even if its the same with exchanges like binance and okex many IEOs since january are still in profits,some did x6 return but are now at x2,its still making sense.

It's safer to invest in IEO organized by exchangers such as binance, kucoin, or Huobi. Small exchangers may have good projects but don't have enough volume to make their prices go up after listing. The advantage of IEO from large exchangers is that the project goes through rigorous selection and also has a large transaction volume

Weve from the beginning of the IEO I was not sure to invest because there are several ways of working that are different from the ICO so I was hesitant to invest because the volume of exchange is very low, although ICO there are some scam projects, but I am more confident to invest in ICO because there are many the benefits that I have already gotten.

Bearish impact affects all fundraising not only ICO and if things start changing for altcoins all crypto fundraising platforms will benefits alot,it shouldnt be about how good a fundraising idea is but how good the project is but IEO is way faster than ICO in terms of fundraising tactics,they mostly have limited time,mostly seconds to minutes on popular exchanges

There is some sense in your writer up but I don't entirely agree with it. I agree with you that some exchanges lie about selling out IEO extremely fast in order to lure investors in when the coin is listed, but I disagree that ICO is better than IEO. The truth remains that IEO done on reputable exchanges brings more credible projects to crypto space since the team and project must be verified by the exchange. Talking about deceiving investors about token sale progress, even some ICOs are guilty of this, some will showcase softcap met even without selling out up to 5%. Let's just be cautious of what we invest in, a wise investor won't rely on the fact that the exchange must have done proper due diligence before listing the IEO, rather he/she will do thorough personal research before taking any calculated risk (investing).  

we have to avoid this kind of IEO in low exchanges or unreputable exchanges.they just list untrusted projects that could be scamm after IEO finish.take a look at facite projects that held IEO in dcoin.suddenly they gone after IEO finish and price now dumped alot.maybe trusted exchanges could give us more certainity about projects quality.and binance be its refference.

IEO investment is only dangerous to those who arent doing research and following any crypto related news one way or the other,its all over the internet how IEOs from popular exchanges are very profitable since the beginning of this year,many investors are investing blindly in any IEO projects thats why they have worse results

Quite a lot of time has already passed to declare with confidence that the concept of ICO and IEO are not reliable enough for investment. The company collects money and then its token when it enters the exchange is likely to fall. And the company has nothing to say about this, except that they do not control the market.

That's the only explanation they can give, it's really the truth, they are not in control of the market, some people FUD and some panic, so the price dump.
Actually for the project team's side, they are more concern on the future of the project, so that's long term, it's normal to see the price dump in a bad market situation but it will not make the project fail if the team will still stay to develop and fulfill their road map, investors should always follow the project's development so they can tell if the price is undervalued or not.

You can also play the price on the market if youre not able to buy the tokens on IEO. Just make sure to understand the technical analysis of the token and project stance. I earned from trading celr, and matic just by doing trading not to mentioned I didnt buy at IEO. I just caught when they go down and go up. The thing is it is quite risky of course but no risk no gain right? Many loses fund doing these but some benefited well also. Maybe youre right, if they didnt able to join IEO then forget to buy at the first few days of opening trade cause it is usually pump and wait for the right timing to enter.

Be more careful in the selection of IEO is a pretty good thing to do because we ourselves do not know whether this really provides profit or not. especially fraud that occurs in IEO itself is also pretty much happening now. so we must be careful with our own assets

be careful is not a bad thing, but still, in fact, there is an IEO that is quite beneficial. Maybe the truth that you are saying is, when people are impatient for investment, because of the low price and big bonus, without thinking about further project development. it can be bad for investors, and cause negative comments.

however, choosing the right IEO project will leave a good impression on you. there is a lot of IEO's worth out there, and the team is trying to develop it with their hard work. but I agree, we do need to be careful about this. don't let the scammer use our ignorance to their advantage.

Investors in IEO now are more focus on short term return, so they will not look at the future potential of the project, rather the ROI in a short term.
Also, the judgement is not on the project, but directly to the exchange, because investors believe that once the IEO is in big exchange like Binance, it will likely to succeed whether in short term or long term.

This hype lives on, and that's how investors choose investment now, they look on the hype exchange so they can get the return and reinvest again.
But this things aren't gonna last forever as more and more investors will be smarter and more exchanges will gain exposure in the IEO market in the long run.

Of course, the very idea of ​​IEO looks very good and even better than ICO, but in practice there are nuances. Why is it that IEO is dangerous for investors? Perhaps this is a trap or just investors are now working for the short term. Whatever it was, but really the majority of IEO after completion, shows a decrease in prices and it is very upsetting. It seems to me that investors are now in an ambiguous situation, so what to choose ICO or IEO.

it's not a bad thing for us to always be vigilant but if IEO is still profitable, i think there will be no problem for us to continue to believe it.

in essence, everything we do does require us to always be vigilant but that does not mean we stop to follow it.
we are only required to be wiser in choosing projects that are very profitable and not profitable for us.

yeah, caution is indeed very necessary for those of us who are in crypto and i also agree with your advice. but if the IEO project has a good future, i think it's okay to buy it. it will be very beneficial for us.

indeed at the moment it is very difficult to choose a good IEO project, so i feel IEO is almost the same fate as ICO. but this is just my feeling, i hope it's not true.  :)

honestly I don't really compare which one is better, whether it is ICO or IEO because in my opinion both are equally risky and can be a means to get big profits, it all depends on which ICO or IEO they choose and how appropriate they sell because the moment when selling really determines whether you will lose or you will get a big profit

Yeah, i still wanna see the old ways of cryptocurrency.
ICO still the best to gain and earn, but there were so many scammed project which make investors go away and stay away from any public sales.
THIS IEO will be a benefit for many exchanges and will make rich richer.

Yes, everything is normal excitement will pass and we will see many disappointed IEO investors. When will the first fraudulent projects begin after IEO. And people will lose their money again.

Since the reform of investment from ICO into IEO, investors alike have been glad with the process, but that does not mean there has not been loses. It is secured, but I see as another form of scam, which has been polished to look legit.

Why should we beware of the most profitable fundraising method at the moment? Not on all exchanges, but on a solid ones as Huobi or Gate.io, you will get much more profit as by taking part in strange ICOs or STOs.
