STO vs ICO - FIGHT!

[bithuner]

So recently I cam across this article in regards to Germany's first STO backed by the German financial regulation authority called Bitbond. What do you think about the evolution of ICOs? Do you see it as a positive or a negative?

I would love to hear what you think about it, would you rather invest into an ICO or and STO? What are the main differences / pros and cons between the two? You can read about Bitbond's STO by clicking on the link below.

i would prefer a project holding their STO, they have legal documents in place before they even start selling their tokens. and they have real use case in the works. whereas, ICO can run their crowdfunding campaigns even without those docs. and most of the ICO projects are empty.  but currently, the new hype are IEOs. so let's see if STO can attract the attention of investors and compete with IEOs.

STO is better for investors, ICO better for people who participate in bounty campaigns.

STO is a really awesome class of projects seeking investment and i agree that they are more attractive to investors on the other hand even STOs have better acceptance especially if they are registered and licensed by govt agencies but the point is that the number of stos is still very small as compared to icos.

STO is an upgraded version of ICO. And every time there is an upgrade, it is much better and more preferred by the people. Investors got sick with the recent movement of ICOs in the market, many became scam, and the promise of listing to an exchange will take forever before it happens. While in STO, personally I havent invested to any but my opinion, this is a better thing for most investors. You will have the assurance that this is being approved and the people behind it are genuine.

STO has a big edge because ICO now are totally messed up and scam-fest, in the last two years there is no good ICO that we've seen succeed, there are so many good projects in ICO that have been paused, stopped and delayed, this is because investors have lost trust in this ICO and STO is a good replacement.

Crypto currency is evolving on a daily basis, it has evloved from the normal ICo and this is the period of STO. With SEC rules it will be better to participate in STO since STO are built on legal grounds and have all the legal requirements

Some people used bitbond and their money got defaulted by scammer and this is such a disgrace. it's much better for you to do a lot of research. Not all of STOs are good in fact that almost all of them are traded below the ico price or when it was issued by the developer to be bought by investors.

well, in my opinion this not a fight between ICO and STO
but, a transformations methode from ICO to STO and now born new way to collecting funds from investors by IEO mate
and maybe in the future there will be born another way to collecting funds after IEO
but, between ICO, STO and IEO have their own advantages

[trudovik]

I don't think there really is any difference. These are really processes that may not have any differences. ICO and STO are processes that are very similar to each other. Therefore, I do not think it is right.

[Peruvyn]

I will prefer to invest in an STO than investing in an unregulated ICO. STO is more beneficial to investors and less risk. Before a project can go for an STO, it's mean ut is compliant with all the legal procedures of the country abd investors will also be able to receive dividends from their investments.

The way I see it is that STOs are more stable by the theory behind them, but I don't think they have the growth potential of ICOs. You land on a very good ICO you can make a very good amount on it, it's just hard to find those hidden gems, on top of the fact they are becoming more and more popular meaning there are some poor / scammy ones out there.

Also signed up the blogging platform, looks great and I will use it to get hold of some crypto for writing and voting articles.

There is nothing to fight about here ,ICOs are finding it hard to met targets these days and most times it takes months to raise funds successful and STO ,I hardly heard about any good ones unlike how IEO is getting all the hypes this days ,I thought STO will be too but I was wrong

[mrdeposit]

STOs can prevent scam issues generally but the same probability for ICOs is less. Let's make some examples and understand the difference. Noone heard about the scam projects in Binance or Bittrex and this is the biggest reason why IEOs don't fail.

[CryptoLing]

I don't think it is apple to apple compare ICO and STO. You know there is another new way of "offering" called IEO, initial exchange offering. And I guess it's more apple to apple to compare ICO and IEO not STO.

[indoagung88]

I see a positive side between the ICO and the STO. In my opinion, it's part of development rather than Cryptocurrency. Maybe ICO is less attractive for now, due to the many projects that might fail in 2018. So I think the two are not much different. No problem.

[nikola22]

STOs are the new way of fundraising and can't compete with ICOs at this moment. maybe later, when market mature STO will come in full swing.

[qomariah95]

I see now there are projects that carry out ICO and STO. It seems that STO is indeed highly favored and not all projects can do STO. Because STO is where the Project makes a sale but the project has already been formed and the product already exists. Certainly very different from ICO. ICO only gives Sales to build projects that they want to build in the future. If there is a mistake, please correct.

I always prefer STO's. Because, in sto's that means you are a shareholder, you have the part of the profit. In ico, you are getting utility tokens which have used in the ecosystem. They mostly end becoming shitcoin.

This is well said, we have seen scammer filtered into ICO space and if/when STOs too gain traction Scammers will exploit it, for me with the way 2018 went, I feel STOs is better but we are yet to see STOs in true sense it is all promises that is being made to investors.
