Are IEO's bad?

[okan]

they are not bad.
but they are not for long invest. sell it when you see 3x in exchanges. after a while price came lower of ieo's price. no mean to participate ieo.

[Whosdaddy]

My understanding for IEOs is basically instead of project handling raising funds etc. It will be for an exchange to do so.

An IEO hosted by Yobit or Binance can clearly not be compared. In other words, the exchange gives more credibility to the project regardless of whether it's worth it or not.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually a bad thing and make people focus on the exchange hosting rather than the actual project and what the team is offering etc.?

IEO is not a bad thing but rather a good thing to the Crypto community, until now we had no choice but to commit our funds and trust to companies we never know about hoping that we are going to make a lot of profit in return when it hits the exchange but the reverse has always been the case, seeing the coin being traded on the exchange, but when this crowdfunding is conducted by popular exchanges you already know, then you will gladly invest your money not based on your trust for the problem

The 3 things you mentioned must follow each other; they are interwoven and should be applied during decision making.
It matters to know the exchange the project is listing on, the project itself matters and the team matters. We understand that the exchanges are already using their own discretion to credit and discredit projects based on the quality of the project.

It is still not enough to base our judgment on other’s opinion as we all have different ways of viewing things; we also need to still research of the project and the team even if exchanges have guaranteed us of security with them. We should see it as if exchanges have only help us shortlist the project for us to pick the best from through further research.

There are good IEO's out there but some are not good but YANU is good IEO a potential coin that finished ICO successfully and now making an IEO to give chance to investors to make investments on yanu  you can check it here Yanu Initial Exchange Offering has been launched! 💯

- You can always use Yanu tokens to buy drinks at least with the initial price ($0.1)

IEO is the fastest way for the most projects to get listed on famous exchanges and get some kind of community. With ICO model of fundraising this process could take years, so IEO is not so bad for the project itself.

[disconnectme]

IEO is worse than ICO, reason being that it is only the exchanges that are making money now, exchanges will raise funds, sell these tokens to themselves and start trading at 10X the IEO price and gullible people will start buying the top, look at BTT and FET tokens on Binance they are both great examples. The way the space is going exchanges are becoming to strong and need to be checked before it goes out of hand

[BlueStackz]

I think it can't be considered as bad thing. I mean, those exchanger must not stake their reputation for project that not good and only make investors lose. But actually this hype already influence people, that is why some IEO can be done and sold in a minute only.

The hype was not artificially created, people based their involvement in these IEO project because of the wonderful record the initiator has had over the past few years and their effort to make the crypto space a conducive one for users, which the credit goes to binance, other exchanges coming up with their own hype are just hiding under Binance legacy.

So even in participating in these IEO exchanges, whether they stake their reputation or not, we still have to DYOR in participating, not every IEO we see will succeed, most especially the one done through exchanges that are not reputable.

It seems to me that the examples you brought are units from 20 projects that brought some profit, but ordinary people could not participate in these projects. I tried to buy coins with 5 accounts on binance but I did not succeed

[Regat]

In my opinion IEOs are bad.
IEOs are new ICOs, so in the 99.9% of the cases, useless.
IEOs will make a lot of angry and sad investors and a lot of money for exchanges and projects. This is a fast way to squeeze money out of people and to make tehm run from the ecosystem once they're REKT.
IEOs are also a good publicity pro exchanges based on their ROI, maybe also pumped from them, but a publicity and a game that will not last long.

[Adya]

many people like ieo's. mostly of them writing about profits they have after start tradig after ieo. atleast token have exchage after tokensale.

[anggaem]

I think some IEOs are pretty bad, and also I've never bought any IEO at this time.
currently the IEO is only used as a pump and dump coin.

I am very glad that people began to understand this. but not all projects. Now there are projects that are forced to collect money for IEO simply because now it is possible

[traderethereum]

I see bittrex wants to launch another project called Ocean.
I don't know if that project is good or not but if I take a look at the price and the short explanation in bittrex, I think that project is one of the good projects but I still need to find more info related to the project.
If you want to buy on IEO sale, then you need to know the most information about the project and don't use big money to buy because of it still hard to predict how much profit you will make later.

[airdropan]

yeah that the fact
IEO just hosting like normal ICO , the different it just hosting by exchange and will be listed after IEO end
another just same

[Bagaji]

For now, avoid the IEO from an exchange that is not well known by the cryptocurrency community. or low volume because this is very risky. when indeed you are interested in investing in the IEO, look for a large exchange that many people believe. this reduces the risk ahead for our losses.

Indeed will agree on your point because many exchange will take this opportunity to scam investors on their hard earned money. Have be following some IEOs recently and found out that within some few minutes the tokens will be off limit, even in most of the reputable exchanges. Not yet convince that the operation of IEOs have a clear intention, lets wait for some time to know if they are BAD.

Not only compared by the exchange, a project seen from its seriousness is from their attempt to list on the big exchange like (Binance,Huobi or Etc.)
If they're serious making project and try to list on the bad exchange, their efforts will be in vain.

[santouao]

IEO has the power to control dump as investors and bounty hunters dont waste a lot of time for the wait as token already in exchange and what we only wait is to rise of the price of tokens,It has more power than ICO now as investors loss a trust ln ico as they losses a lot of money and investments on year 2018 and now IEO gains trust especially on investors so investors if you are looking for a good IEO Look for yanu and you won't regret on investing on that particular project.

[sctunter]

its okay if people just focus on exchange hosting not on ico project it self , before IEO hosting by exchange i'm pretty sure the exchange choose which best project and make audit before launch on their exchange

You are not the only one with that reasoning cos I have also thought about it for a while now. This IEO only makes people focus on exchange and not actually on what the project and team has to offer. All that matters is which exchange the IEO is handled and that's not too cool.

After losing patience with ICO's, yes it's correct to assume that the attentions of investors are now in this new way of market, participating
with IEO's projects make it simple and quicker, exchange will allow you to buy and wait for the results after some minutes or hours then
you are free to sell it out when its available for trading.
