Stay Calm, IEOs aren't a threat

[babarian]

Bounty hunters for more than a year are not in the best shape, few of the projects pay the funds , I think better than ieo better ico, and I try to have time to invest

some bounty projects do not pay bounty hunters.
but some of them still keep their promises to pay bounty participants after they have campaigned.
although the ICO has many problems this year, it does not mean that the IEO is a threat like the OP said.

[proTECH77]

I have overhead many people in various bounty groups talking about how bounty campaigns are gonna die should we move on from ICO to rampant IEO issuance (maybe the exchanges shall take over the advertisements or so).

Fact is that if IEOs become a thing, many projects will arise and hence the services of bounty hunters shall be required again. Every project needs advertisements to expand and that's why we are there as bounty hunters. This is the same way ICOs grew in number.

All we should hope for is a better crypto ecosystem because at the end, we shall be needed for promotion in one way or the other

You are very right. I am not scared of the IEOs. I am even optimistic that with it we shall be having more quality projects to campaign in future. Less scams, etc.

IEOs aren't threat to ICOs because IEOs is another name for ICOs. ICOs came on board with diverse projects which many ends up being scam, also, IEOs are not guarantee base on the fact that they all belong in the same class of crowdfunding. IEOs will provide more bounty hunting to Hunters when its finally come on board.

What in my mind would be, when ICO moving to IEO, then there would be a way that bounty will still exist and it will also implement new scheme to perform the bounty campaign, even though the coins would be directly distributed through the market, it will still need promotion for that coins to be known.

You made a good point, there is no reason for anyone to be afraid of IEOs, there will always be a way it will benefit everyone if it happens to take over . People should just be focused on what they are doing as of now and not talk about that since it has not happened yet. I’ve never been bothered about it, cause I know that there will always be a way for everyone to benefit.

I don't think bounty hunters have a good future. It's better for the forum too. No signature bounty spammers will be here to write thousands of comments.

I don’t think that will ever stop bounty hunters. You do know that this forum is not the only place for advertising right? Companies will still need people to do advert for them on other platforms like Twitter, so this forum is not the only place advert is being done. If you ask me, I will say that bounty hunters are going nowhere. They will still be needed.

I never thought IEO was a threat, this is good for the crypto market. the more people who believe in the IEO, the more new investors will buy. so the marketcap will slowly rise, you could say the IEO is one reason for the next increase.
For bounty campaigns, I don't really care because it's all just a side job. so it's there or not, it doesn't matter to me.

Usually that must be considered fraudulent behavior if they don't pay and should be prosecuted. It's sad if the promoters of the project are abused in that way.

[rosezionjohn]

If all IEO's would succeed that's the time bounty hunters need to worries, as developers and investors will proceed and use such venue instead of
doing any advertisement/promotions,

The thing is there are more new projects coming out than cryptocurrency exchanges. They cannot accommodate all at the same time. Projects who wish to conduct an IEO may have to wait in line and may still consider a short bounty before their token sale starts.

[Duzter]

IEO makes me feel good, seems a bit safe with your investment  since the token is offered in top exchanges like binance, this week if you heard celer IEO, got raised a high amount of funds. And also for bounty hunters, less risk than a project with ICO. Less detailed and assurance that we will be paid in right

IEO seems to be a good way of promoting a project, but through some way there is need for investors as well as users to promote the projects. IEO is done on large scale exchanges, and it isn't same as bounty anymore. One could be a participant on IEO as an investor and there is no more bounty hunters on IEO.

[Ifemini]

Very soon the hypes projects derive from exchange platforms from their ieo will vanish and everyone would come back to the drawing board which is marketing

Bounty hunting services will be needed after all

I agree with your opinion. I told some friends nursing such fears that even during the 2017 crypto boom, there was bounties. People didn't notice much because attention was drawn to ICOs and trading rather than bounty and airdrop. Bounty services offer promotional and marketing services and thus can't be eliminated because marketing is essential to the growth of any market or business

[kickdapa]

Yes, I do agree with you. IEO is not a threat for the bounty hunters, rather it is needed in the crypto industry to make people believe and trust again in cryptocurrency and IEO is a good way for the profit nowadays! Especially people are eagerly waiting for the next IEO in the Binance launchpad! Bounty is the major part of the crypto so I hope bounty always will be well treated!

[blokklanc]

IEOs will also need advertising and bounty campaigns. The only thing will change with IEOs  is, that we will not
be in danger of  advertising   scam campaigns as they won`t go through the filter of the exchanges.

[Sarastiche]

With Initial Exchange Offering  i feel bountyhas some advantages and that is the fact that scam project will be reduce, which will enhance the overall development  of CRYPTO, I f most IEO  are on Binance and other strong/hype exchange, there will be a reduction in project that will do bounty, because the exchange already serve as a marketing platform, base on the trust level they have earn over the years.

With a better crypto ecosystem, more legit projects will rise and be introduced in the community.
So less fraudulent projects that will try to cheat these bounty hunters by taking advantage of them.
However, bounty hunters should do their part also in a sensible way and not be a headache of the community.
So at the end, everybody gains in the situation. For the moment, I'm seeing that IEO is far better than ICO.
I just hope that those projects tying up with famous exchanges will not exploit the system and find another avenue to screw investors.

- Of course, the IEO is not a threat to bounty hunters because very few projects can link and advertise through exchanges, quality and lots of conditions required for this issue, we can look at the IEO on binance, the number is very small, so bounty hunters don't need to worry about their work. I can even say that the IEO will be a good opportunity for bounty hunters when it will make investors' thoughts become better on projects, projects will become more exciting, hunters will have more work to do, even they will have an IEO hunt, these are quality projects for hunters to earn more profits

[TechComputer]

Ieo is just the the same kind of ICO or STO, but it had different purpose of each of them. But they have the same definition to gather fund.

[Docbee]

Either IEO or ICO they will always need the service of bounty promotion because it's a alternative and cheap means to promote a start up, there is no much difference between the two the only difference is the platform used in offering the coin or tokens to investors.

[JohnMacZeppelin]

The direction is very interesting, especially for investors who have already stopped believing that investing is still possible. I think that this is a great chance to show that cryptocurrency can do a lot, including it.

[soramon]

Both ICO & IEO have a same purpose which is collecting money. I think to fullfil that target need a lot of helps. For example advertisement, the company will need bounty hunters to do this job. As long as ICO/IEO still exist bounty campaign will always there.

[starblocks]

You are right in the sense that if Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO's) do catch on they may lead to a re-surge in crowdsales for innovative startups and this will be healthy for the entire market not just this type of crowd funding solution, and because due diligence will be conducted by reputable exchanges and higher standards will be required the end result may be increased consumer confidence once again in a lagging market
