BEWARE OF IEO

[Olatunjex]

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.

[cytpoway121]

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

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.

[bubuliks]

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 

[d_fitrie]

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

[DDante]

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.

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

[jack wira]

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.

[Doranile432]

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

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

[key4co.in]

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.

[Greatchu]

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

[nerlial]

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.

[bgaf]

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.

[laredo7mm]

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

[Farma]

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.

[ven7net]

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.

[coinsycrip09]

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.
