6 Reasons why IEO is better than ICO

[CoinChili]

I was very much interested in investing to such IEO. Thus, made me the urged to browse the internet and found some compelling informations. I found it very informative for some members here like me who are disoriented between IEO and ICO.

Here is the infographic that is worth to share.



Here is the SOURCE

It's better if you read the whole article to enlighten your confusions about Initial Exchange Offering (IEO).

There is no question that ICO projects and them subsequently either becoming big failures or runaway scams...there are estimates that more than 90% of the projects on this platform eventually went to nothing leaving many investors and supporters nothing but empty bags. We must have something that can work well for both investors and project proponents and IEO can be a good alternative where we don't have to worry anymore whether the project can reach the exchange because it is done right there in the exchange...for me this can minimize risks though of course since this is business nothing can guarantee that a token/coin value will not depreciate after the said crowdsale. The idea here is to protect the interest of the investing public and have the team behind the project have access to their funds.

80%?? You should correct it and make it 90% I based it on my portfolio and from friends who are all actively investing and promoting in ICO's if we can prove that those coins who will hold  their crowdfunding in your exchange are going to make investors profitable, and you will only accept a good projects, then we can put IOC away and just invest IEO that will hold crowdfunding in your exchange.

Let's explore the question first. Let's wait for the first results. What would definitely understand that of the 2 types of project is better. I think if the project is not well-off, then nothing will save it.

Hmmm why not making it 98%? 2% are only legit and the rest is pure trash and scam.This is why this IEO becomes the norm as of this moment
because of such set-up which is more secure compared to traditional ICO, it isn't really much prone to scams and hacks but this wont guaranteed
on avoiding you on such manipulation.This is the only problem I do see with IEO's.

The IEO may be the best choice for the present time, however, the IEO will help investors avoid scam risk than ICO. In 2018, the ICO market really collapsed, ICO only brought losses to investors, so the IEO is probably the better choice. But not all IEOs are safe and profitable for investors, remembering that investment always comes with risks. The IEO may also make investors lose.

[BitcoinHodler]

actually IEOs are worst than ICOs because of 3 main reasons:
1. they are still doing the same exact scam but now they seem legitimate only because the name is different and an exchange is backing them.
2. they are already listed on exchanges so the dumping is going to be faster and bigger since you don't have to wait around and slowly see different people come by and dump the token. everyone has a deadline and dumps at the same time.
3. it is giving exchanges too much power and they will surely abuse it if they aren't already.

[Lakai01]

IEOs are as trending as ICOs in 2017, they are hyped because ICOS arent worth the effort anymore and the majority of those tokens even dont get listed. Thats the only advantage IEOs have compared to ICOs, everything else have both offerings in common.

[Japinat]

I never thought it was that huge, $9 million daily lose in ICO is just insane, it really needs a change and thankfully IEO is here to help minimize scams.
The government has to do something it's already alarming, some county have not regulate ICO yet and that would make scammers still free to do their illegal activities.

[Wakhid Mukti]

Until now, the ICO is indeed too many scams and only a few percents have succeeded and still survive today. I think the IEO is the best breakthrough where projects and investors are no longer confused to face the future after the fundraising process is complete. Investors and platforms are easily facilitated by exchange from the process of collecting funds and later trade activities.

What is the definition of scam? If scam is defined as the disappearing after tokensale then maybe IEO can avoid this issue, but some people including me, call a project a scam when a project stop or delay their development and can't complete their roadmap on time. There are various types of scammer : Scammers could run from people as soon as peopl, or still with people with thousands fake promises to make people calm. And the second type I mentioned can't be avoided with just an IEO.

[fosco333]

The most useful advantage of IEO than ICO is about SECURE and CREDIBLE.
Secure because there is no way for you to transfer your eth to wrong address when participating in IEO.
Credible because the exchange itself who conduct their research and due diligence about the project.

The sixth reason which is accessibility is the most important of all. The headache most ICO investors have faced before had been the inability of the tokens to get listed after the token sales. This is where IEO has a clear advantage.

[Little Mouse]

IEO is better in all aspects other than the KYC. I really don't like it although I have done on several exchanges due to my trading reason. However, I think it's better than nothing/scam.

actually IEOs are worst than ICOs because of 3 main reasons:
1. they are still doing the same exact scam but now they seem legitimate only because the name is different and an exchange is backing them.
2. they are already listed on exchanges so the dumping is going to be faster and bigger since you don't have to wait around and slowly see different people come by and dump the token. everyone has a deadline and dumps at the same time.
3. it is giving exchanges too much power and they will surely abuse it if they aren't already.

There it is.
It cannot be always positive for this new types of offering.

I do agree with the rush listing though. Some ICO do prefer to hold it for a while to prevent investors from dumping it.
It will be easily played in the market which we all dont want to happen.
We want them to stay and let the roadmap come to a fruitful success.

It is not just because they are being selfish. It is for everyone so that the value may come up.

if it involves exchanging whether it can be said that the IEO is an escrow on project fundraising. The IEO looks very promising. if it is indeed a fund-raising technique like this, there will be a lot of people who are interested in investing because it is safe. but whether the exchange is responsible for each project fundraiser they hold. this is one of the advances in regulating ICO in the future every time the ico scam loopholes really needs to be fixed.

[anobtc]

I think another important factor is profit. IEO ensures better returns for investors when selling with small hardcap and therefore, the ability to increase prices after listing will be more secure than traditional ICO.

[sctunter]

totally aggree with all of them. now days very hard to find which ico that have good and not scamming
but for reminder not all IEO success, not all of them give you profit. just choose carefully which ico that worth to invest

[nreal]

IEO is of course much better than ICO, but so few people can buy tokens from the IEO. A major problem with IEO is that their tokens are pushed too high and then dumped heavily

[Indamuck]

IEOs carry the same risk as ICOs its just exchanges are involved from the start.  We all know how shady most of these exchanges are so I would be extremely hesitant about investing into any of these "projects".
