Are IEO's bad?

[joromz1226]

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.?

We can't deny the fact that there will be always scam projects no matter what. IEO for me is better than ICO in terms of rasing tokens as it requires a partnership between the exchange and project owner. This means that when a project turns out to be a scam, the reputation of an exchange would be affected and any exchange owner won't let that happen. Therefore, through IEO the number victim of scam projects can/could be lessen.

Do you think the scammer or hacker can't able to enter in the IEO? as far as I know, all things are possible to any scammer, as long as they smell money in it, they will do everything surely to get it. But whether good or bad the decision will always depend on the community here in the forum.

IEO isn't bad, but the road is too excessive. Remember this could be a new way for scammers to commit fraud. we still have to be vigilant and don't trust too much even if it's in a big exchange though.
IEO is a hype investment lately but it is difficult to invest there because the duration is quite short, if you want to buy better, just wait when the token can be opened in the trade.

I also hope that the IEO will now tackle scammers but I am sure the IEO in the big exchange will become big investors to rise again.

Yes, it is.

It can actually add credibility to the project since some exchange don't just accept listing, which can reduce the probability of scam or shitty projects for raising funds using their platform since the platforms credibility will be involved if a project is scam.

This could possibly happen, so everything will actually depend on whether a platform is really doing their part on reviewing IEO projects credibility or not. Let's just hope that IEO will change how most investors view ICOs(scam).

[SRKNGL]

Iosos don't make any difference. The only difference here is the exchanges behind the ieo. We invest without knowing their teams.

[3core]

IEOs are not totally bad for investors because they can be sure the project will eventually get listed but project wise it is bad because most investor will have to rely on the crediblity of the exchange hosting the IEO.

[Simple_Plan]

IEO is good itself, at least it's safer choice than ICO. Buying an IEO, you don't have to face with the fear of holding a bunch of worthless tokens. However, some recent IEOs showed less hype on this trend. One must very careful to choose a right project on a right exchange if he doesn't want to get loss.

[rjp55]

No, they are not bad unless you join an ieo on a scammy exchange.

Ieo means ico on exchange. Not a huge difference just a middleman.

[jimskiy]

Based on which on IEO you have joined, maybe many IEO listed on bad exchange like Yobit maybe better for left it and never for joining because is not good for participating and better joined on Binance IEO.

you are right. IEO is the newest form of ICO, but IEO has far more advantages. but, it all depends on the project being undertaken, and also the market where the IEO is taking place. hence from that research is very necessary.

[Gabteb]

yep you are right because when scam exchange like Yobit would make exchange then don't think anyone invest there, its a good way of raining money but makes exchanges much more powerful than before so projects which hasn't ICO and IEO becomes much more difficult list to big exchanges like Binance so it will become problem for projects and users.

[Coltpython]

Many people into cryptocurrency right now are in it for the money and not the technology behind it or its use case. They just want a coin listed so they can sell off for high profits. IEOs give them this opportunity to do so. But the buzz around it will still die down after a while just like when ICOs became popular in 2017/2018

[absurde]

I didin't understand ioe's situation, when they launch getting hype in short term  than coming down dip long term. Binance choices are not goog when we look the project , i think the demand will decrease.

[karagun125]

I think its better to try something new, something innovative that can give us more trust in the project. Because ICO are some kind of dead to some crypto enthusiast since most of their projects are unsuccessful and the worst is a scam.

IEO in big exchange site looks manipulated by the exchange site itself. ICO must provide its KYC to the exchange before they can list their ico to that launchpad and that can prevent scammers.
the fact that it looks like more healthy compared with independent ico.

[Greeno Force]

For people, IEO now makes more profit than ICO.  However, not everyone has time to earn, and someone just remains in the red with their tokens.  It seems to me that IEO is only a temporary phenomenon.

I think your opinion is correct and we need to discuss this.
I see that the IEO is becoming a new trend and most of the projects that I follow and have ended up doing IEOs in some exchanges.
which needs to be prioritized as you say.
but according to sources that I read, one of the positive side makes investors more flexible and trustworthy than investing in ico.

Well the thing about the people focus on the exchange hosting rather than the project is true, but that's not wrong either. It is like when you have more trust on the project that are endorsed or suggested by experts, you actually focus on the experts rather than the project. But in this case, the expert is the exchanges.

Hey,

IEOs aren't bad per se. There's good and bad.

The good:
- It can help legitimate projects get funding and more awareness. It brings more token holders at day 0 than if you get funded with VCs that don't care about the project and don't bring much besides money.

The bad:
- Greed-fueled, investors don't even know about the projects and are just looking to flip. This is not how you build something lasting.

Too many people picked up this trend and too many projects began to spill over to the market.  It will definitely not bring to the good.  Everything will end in a scenario, as with ico projects.
