ICO IS ALIVE AND KICKING

[novaprime]

In my opinion it is difficult to be able to see that ico will be able to succeed again as it used to be because now the time of ico has passed a lot and there is a scam project. IEO itself is also a lot of scams.

IEO is a way for us to get rid of fraud projects in the easiest way, but in the current market, we should only trust the top exchanges because those exchanges will ensure the safety of all investors. I think the IEO will continue to grow even bigger in the future and will definitely be mentioned more in the future so it's best to stay away from ICO because most are scam projects.

I disagree pal. After seeing a lot of IEOs in the past months, IEO are now showing its true colors. The sad part is that Binance is leading the way to make IEOs having no credibility at all. CZ is just making artificial pumps on their shitty IEOs and they are just waiting for a good time to dump on idiot HODL gangs for life. I know there are legit great IEO projects but the other top exchanges should not let shitty projects launch their IEOs on them for huge sum of money.

IEOs are really good, but I also saw some very good ICO projects over the past year. they raised a lot of money through the ICO.

Sincerely ICO's are dying and if something is not done about it no investor will invest in upcoming ones since the old ones has really made investors lost all hopes in ICO's, but things could change if they restructure themselves and brings new offers on board whch could entice and boost investors morale.

ICOs will be popular once again, but first scammers have to find other way to cheat investors. When people will feel safe to invest in ICO it will be back to good mood.

Binance Exchange has a way of positively influencing the Ico's and IEO's using the Exchange due to its popularity, integrity etc.
Any team aspiring to having a successful ICO/IEO should have a thought in the direction of using Exchange(s) that have great command of investors.

They should and they should also think of investing big money to be able to get their project listed in Binance IEO.
They have limited number of IEO in the exchange so there's also a big competition from those who want their project to get listed and Binance will also protect their reputation and they will not just list an IEO without making an investigation first.

[proTECH77]

Frankly speaking am not seeing ICO resting in peace because there are still much pretty projects that still embark or embarking on ICOs and come out successful. We know we have come.to the errand of IEOs but the power of ICO cannot be written out in the world of cryptocurrency. Every technology can be use either positive or negative as we have seen in ICOs, likewise IEOs.

It is the only way to make their project successful at the present time. If the non-IEO project and ICO implementation, it will surely fail because investors will never risk the same way as in 2018.

Lol, what would make scammers disappear from the ICO market if the opportunity would always be there for them to scam? The only thing that can make scammers to leave the ICO market is if every project is being scrutinized carefully and the only way to get scrutinized projects is when is when it becomes regulated, as long as we don’t have government to regulate it, ICO market may never change.

so we need to hope that government will eventually legalize it and then set up agencies that would be there to always go after scammers, I am sure that in as much as it is a decentralized system, it is still not bigger for government to control it. Alternatively, if government fails to regulate it for us, let’s see if it is something we can also come up with a solution just like Binance already came up with one.

Yes.
ICOs are still very much alive and really kicking. Although things has been bad for ICOs generally but still, ICOs are still moving forward.

the introduction of IEO brings in a little problem for ICO,  although some ico project are still launching,  but lots of projects are focusing more on IEO, so as to get listed as soon as possible,  truly there are still some ico that are doing well, but it's not as early 2017/2018

But even if some ICO are still relatively good, they still can't contribute or help ICO back, the market has started to turn away from the ICO, as you say, the trend of current projects is still focused on the IEO, investors and the whole project only want a contract listed on exchange, they no longer want a long ICO process. ICO will still be alive but ICO will still be alive but the situation is not optimistic, it is attached to a cancer, it will not die immediately but it will be painful and die gradually over the years

after what happened on 2018 , i am quite understand about ur opinion.
investor just need a guarantee . for make their money safe,about if the project will provide huge profits, its just like a gamble for them.
at least they not lose too much like on ICO.

[PragueBTC]

Yes, that's right. The honest ICOs they still work well until the bad guys turn ICO into scams. ICO still has a chance to do it again. It must enact more laws to protect investors' information.

We still have lots of great projects giving their shot in the market also, but they are not being seeing because we now have many investors that would not look at them again and just classify them as scam, and that is why they don’t meet that softcap again, they go halfway and then stop to refund people of their money since they could not meet up.

Many projects and investors are quite focusing on IEO right now which is why you see so many project rising up through IEO and so many investors trooping into IEO platforms massively but unfortunately, I learnt that scammers are now beginning to use IEO also to scam investors again through some of these low quality exchanges that don’t care about doing due diligence before accepting them.

IEO is a scam by itself even if it happens on binance. Only the exchange and very few early investors benefit from it.

And the issue is not even the high costs to list up to 30 btc in many cases

Most exchanges take a large amount of tokens (around 5-8%) from the proceeds and another batch - up to 30% of the proceeds as insurance fund that marketmaking will fail.
If the project fails to maintain the token price higher than a certain level for 4-6 weeks, the project will lose this insurance fund.
And then, there is mandatory allocation of funds for marketmaking, where the project is obligated to spend money invested in them in artificial pump of the price of their token

And if the exchange is not very honest, it is always easy for them to dump their 8% and lower the exchange rate beneath the threshold of the insurance fund loss.

So the actual costs of an IEO for a project are between 30 and 60% of the money raised.

Now think about it. People are investing in the project thinking that this money will go into development of a product. But instead , it is spent on games and gambling called IEO. The project is left with less than 50% of the funds raised, and I've found several cases where projects spent 80% of the money raised on IEO just for the consequences of said IEO .

What are their chances of developing a good product with 20-40% of what they actually need?

ICO is getting out in the community, it robbed many investors before and scammed many people even bounty participants.
IEO is the new game around and it is gaining again the trust of every people in cryptocurrency by using great exchange.
I hope this could change the game better.

What is the difference between ICO and IEO? IEO is backed up by some exchange, everything else is the same. The sale is mainly on exchange, but you can buy coins regularly from the team on their official site. ICO doesn`t have sale on any exchange, it`s done on official site.
Both are startups, you can believe more in the words from the exchange, they always say how they checked it, but I wouldn`t get relaxed just cause of that. Do research by yourself and then do what you think it`s the best, don`t trust blindly in any announcements from any exchange.

[hongus]

Well yes. Where is the guarantee that the startup will not close? Say the team will not be able to implement all the planned tasks. Or the cryptocurrency policy has changed in the country where the project was conducted. There are no 100% guarantees in investments.

You are definitely right yet this isn't really different at all apart from tokens tied up with the exchange and can be directly listed out but overall they are all just the same.
Project usage? Just like a typical ICO but somewhat better just one step but overall it isn't really a thing that you could rely on when it comes to profitability and success because these projects has nothing new to offer because sooner or later they would really just being pump up and die down on majority of them just like we have seen on ICO projects in the past where lots of them do end up on a graveyard due to lack of support.They are initially being hyped up on early phase and after that then they do go gradually die.

Maybe you have right, that it should be regulated, but i'm not sure if government is the one that should control it.
If someone want to be safe can go with STO - this projects must be regulated, but there always will be place for ICO's. Probably scammers will never disappear completely from ICO market, but hopefully it will not be 50% or more like it is now.

You are wrong. ICOs are dead. The next wave of successful token sales are IEOs. The most peofitable IEOs are on these exchanges: Huobi, Binance and ZB.

ICO might be dead soon, I don't know really the accurate current status of ICO now, but based on my observation, I haven't seen ICOs that are successful, most of the success are from IEO and I would agree with you that they are the next wave of successful tokens, some are maybe still hopeful about recovery of ICO but it's hard for them to recover when there's another platform that are already successful.

I'm thinking that with the success of IEO, this will improve and increase the number of exchanges to operate in the market, and that's a big growth in the industry.

[Bossfidelity]

I agree with the fact that ICO is still alive, but it's demise is in progress. This is because several investors have lost trust in ICO and are only interested in IEO. Only very few projects hold a successful ICO in recent times and that is a clear indication of the fact that ICO is on its way out. I'm personally not surprised because the cryptocurrency space is highly flexible and inventions are rapid. I even read of a new fund raising approach which was said to be MTO. Guess that's yet to be publicised.
