IEOS are no different from ICO tricks; just an upgrade

[IVEXO]

Yep, when you buy tokens from ieo you are getting the same thing.

The only difference is there is a middleman as a guaranteer. So, i don't see a huge difference.

The main issue is the same unsolved; a lot of potential exchange users complain of inabilities to participate in ieos
Who then buys the tokens ?

Even with guarantees, why do such tokens still dump easily and fiercely

IEO is really not much different from ICO. But I think that IEO is better than ICO. This removes many of the risks associated with ICO. Therefore, I think that IEO has a positive effect on ICO.

some ICO projects might switch to the IEO to make confidence in the arrival of investors. but don't ever trust the IEO quickly, because even if sales are successful, the project may not be able to develop their platform so that prices can match or be better than their IEO prices.

[Ezenwanyi]

That is correct.
I noted this during a dicoursewith my crypto friends.
I told them after that binance held it's first launch pad that the IEO model is far from being transparent.
If you look further,you will find out to your amazement that it's mostly the project team and the exchange team that are buying bulk of the tokens.

What upgrades means to you? Upgrade is changing something to the way it could be more good. Its trying to solve something that ICO cant do right now.  So dont jump on the conclusion that still not happened. Just support things we have now and give somethings to us crypto users. Use it as long as can give you profit then leave if become worthless

With IEO investors become less attentive and completely trust in the verification analysis of the exchange and its reputation. I will cite a recent example of the IEO by scam's team on IDAX.

[Mpamaegbu]

No, not really. There is a big wall of difference between them. Apart from the name and where they are conducted - IEO on exchanges, ICO on open ground, the first is more organized and secured. I would participate in IEO and never in ICO.

The issue of price rise and dump after IEO is a normal thing in business. It's called profit taking. People sell off when they reach their profit target. It's not the same thing as what we have in ICO where devs abandon projects.

[StarofBTC]

They are same once ICO scam burst out , scammers need new way to pull money out of people so hence came IEO, just like ICO market got busted after few years , this IEO market will also get busted within next few years once people see no real progress in projects. The only benefit anybody can get for now is speculators and scammers , if you are a good one , sieze the maximum out of it.

ICO was too loosed and because it was not regulated, and you and I know that where there is no law, there is no sin, you can’t compare something that is being regulated to something not regulated.

IEO might not be completely regulated, but at least it still has the involvement of third party who can control what is being displayed to the public by verifying it first before publishing, Scammers might try all their best to penetrate the IEO market but the only way they can succeed is if money hungry exchanges too gets involved in IEO.

Provided IEO I still being controlled and operate by top exchanges such as Binance, Bitmex, Huobi and many other ones, I doubt if scam will be able to penetrate.

[cryptobae10]

I also think that this is just some kind of new way of cheating users, but this method is covered by large exchanges.

According to yours, such big exchanges as Binance, Bittrex, Huobi, OKEX will resort to deceiving users through such a mechanism as ICO (IEO), according to you, they will risk their reputation so much. Honestly, I can't even imagine it. Even if the projects launched by them are frankly bad, investors are all exactly getting tokens and a chance to earn.

Well I can sense that you prefer the chance to earn rather than consider the damage ahead
I advise you always trade smart and smarter

Lition ico was about 2x few hours back; icos are still alive

Sooner or later; we can judge the tricks by ourselves

[irixo10]

Yes you are right entirely. But from another angle, IEOs (at least for now) has proven to be safer, as there is no chance for any scam project to pass the verification of these exchanges. That is to say also, it is wise to take note of the exchange conducting the IEO to ensure safety of funds.
Lastly, if IEOs will be properly managed, it will be better than ICOs in the long run.

[cryptolidus]

The main benefit from IEOs is that they are supervised by the exchanges but that does not  guarantee the
high ROI. I agree with you that they can be over hyped after listing and I would not touch them for a certain period.

One big facts I cited unattended to
Investors have stopped doing necessary research information; and investing based on trust on the exchange platform

It isn’t safe that way
Dyor always ico ieo or sto

[Mighty_crypt]

Yes IEO is just an upgrade but it is way better in fundraising part and it's has better trusty than ICO due to been lunched on trusted exchanges,it won't be easy for scam artists to mindle with,i think IEO is way better, investors need some sort of trusted source to investment and IEO does the job well

[maximumcoin]

We should call it as crypto hot trend. We have some hot trend so far.
- exchange hot trend: that switch most profitable coins from Poloniex to Bittrex, and then Binance.
- ICO hot trend.
- exchange's coin or token launched with massive promotions (give aways) hot trend.
- and now, IEO hot trend.

[bittraffic]

Its an upgrade though. You may not see any difference to it since it both just waste your money when price drops sudenly after the IEO.  Sooner the scammers will alzo upgrade skills. Years from now this IEO will also fade and another trend will follow til we may go back to IPO instead. Or probably we'd soon see trading software where from there we can be connecting to crowdfunding platform.

[zhekinsp]

I have no doubts after a few observation but ieos are just an upgrade how ?

Ieos that successfully sold out on binance bittrex and kucoin, can they sold out on latoken? Or dobi trades  ?

Main focus is; in ieos hundreds get to participate , then after ieo is over; it leaves thousands of people eager to get in and be a part of the movement

This causes an upturn in price for few days; then the usual dip that follows ico token after listing takes place too

So what’s the difference exactly ??

NB: just my thoughts ; feel free to modify, suggest and contribute

Project team looking for better way to make money that is why IEOs were in the trend for now and it is same as ICO,if a project is good the people invest on it but when it is promoted by exchanges then chances of getting traffic to that project is high.

[Everglow]

I think there are many improvements. The first is that the cap for each IEO is usually not too big, only about $ 1 million or less, which helps attract investors because they believe in the ability to pump prices after the official listing.
Secondly, the IEO pledges token will be listed on the exchange, unlike ICO when we don't know about it.

[hummer113]

Due to the large trading volumes and the number of traders, the price from a great height will fall for a long time, and gives time to the project for development, IEO has some little advantages.

[valek.bruno]

I would say that today IEO doesn’t really bring anything new in it, I think it’s best to create some kind of barriers for developers who attract investment in cryptocurrency projects. This is probably the easiest thing to do.

[prtty2gal2]

I am going to agree with you to some extent but not to the fullest because ICO cannot totally be compared with IEO.

Unlike ICO, IEO is referred to as initial exchange offering, whereby exchanges that has gained name already carry out crowd funding for companies instead of them carrying out themselves in the form of ICO, the good thing about this is that this exchanges have built trust with investors over time and would not want to lose that trust for any reason whatsoever, so the make sure all projects pass through KYC process.
