Are IEO's bad?

[Lexurdania]

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 are not totally bad, I said so because investors might face some hiccups on some IEO offering. But so far I see it as a more better option than the ICO so I suggest you look at the positive side of the IEO which I believe is more than the negative

I think the IEO is the best fundraising method for now because when you saw some time ago you had a fundraising method using ICO and now there are many cases of ICO being used for fraud places so I think the IEO is now better.

Indeed, in the middle many scam ICOs, IEOs could be an alternative. IEOs give certainity for investor on the token get listed in exchanger. But i am agree we should not compare between IEO held by Yobit and IEO held binance because the different very huge.

Well, you've got a point that the main thing that the investors are looking at is the host of the exchange. But if the host of the exchange is clearly known, the project will probably boom and they are obligated to bring the best of the token because if not, investors on their exchange might stop using their exchange.

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.

It is obviously clear that the IEO platform is fully prepared and created for the whales looking for weak investors to devour, is that how good the economy is? That a lot of people will just rush and buy what takes months in ICO to finish in minutes. I am really not comfortable with this arrangement.

People who are buying these IEO projects are buying in large quantity and it is the weaker investors that I really pity for, when they start their manipulation, they will dump the price on the market so had that majority of the smaller investors that got lucky to be fast enough in holding some of the coins will end up being a bag holder.

Most of the ieo projects that are now out of course good , but I think in the future they will die , the exchanges are just as good to bring them to the exchange they get money for it , I would recommend to participate in the ieo and immediately sell tokens!

I understand that the exchange get money for conducting an IEO but you should not forget that there are some exchanges who have previously stopped IEOs despite the fact that they were getting paid. Bittrex stopped conducting IEO for RAID project because they got their contract cancelled with the e-gaming company and the project without the contract was zero that’s why the IEO was cancelled.

It is also not possible to improve the credibility of this exchange because another project, VBK is having a very bad price and many people have experienced a huge loss when participating in this IEO. Most recently, Ocean and currently not sold out making Bittrex a joke. I think Bittrex legal compliance in Europe is the main reason for the recent failure of this exchange. If you want invest, choose a better exchange because Bittrex this year really makes me feel bad

IEOS are another form of ico with name Ieos and Icos both are one and the same in fundraising there is no negativity for Ieos either and more secured than Icos

For me whether IEO or ICO both can give profit to anyone here in the forum.

I no longer believe in the possibility of real breakthroughs in ICO sphere, the ICO market is pretty much dead already.  IEO is almost the only way to make money.

You need to be careful now because the popularity of this type of prodjaji coins can go on decreasing, which ultimately will lead to financial losses.

Right, always being vigilant and making research is important if we want to put money into any investment including the IEO, I'm afraid because some IEOs are successful then scammers will make the same thing as ICO.

[Google+]

I have observed a number of IEO cases that are currently being trending topics in several exchange places and I see that this method can have a good influence on fundraising it will be easy to reach the target they want.

if the project developers are smart enough im sure they will go to a exchange with credibility, if the intention of developers is to scam people they will go to exchange like yobit.

[shaheer001]

Exchange play vital role in IEO if exchange is like Binance then IEO will succeed and the token/coin price will not dump but it is small or not famous exchange then IEO will totally flop.

[malphite534]

Depending on the IEO that you invested it would be nice if it did not work for the project it is believed that the investors have proved to be the same as Yanu.io one in projects that have completed the ICO and now have IEO and its programs now the price is low so it's time to invest, and if it's not so sure there's a lot to look at their website and make a study here, yanu is a good project that we should invest to make sure that you earn.

[cryptobae10]

I do not think ieos are bad; it helps the project get the funding as required
By just as ico can be manipulated

Same can happen to ieos; it’s a decentralized world remember

If we decide to invest in IEOs, its better choosing from reputable exchanger because its more legit. I think IEOs are legit because exchanger must be doing research first before make announcement. They wont put their reputation on risk.

[Lexurdania]

Today we found many IEO have listed on big exchange and many investor always buy, some of them have miss because coin of IEO have sold out, by the IEO is really good or not after listing on exchange market?

I am better waiting when token from IEO listed in the market. Mostly after listed in exchanger, the price always rising and after few days, the price back to IEO price. Its better to be patient because i think its because many FOMO about the project

Comparing between yobit and binance is not apple to apple. Binance have a reputation as big exchanger in market and most crypto investor trust on binance. Its different and IEOs held by binance must be trusted.
I dont think IEOs are bad because its already administered by exchanger and its more easier for investor.

Many exchanges such as Latoken, Coineal, Bittrex don't have the best censorship when many bad projects are sold IEO in these exchanges. If you want to invest in a good IEO project, you should choose reputable exchanges like Binance, Okex, Huobi because these are 3 exchanges that can make you a huge profit if you can be lucky to participate too. Of course there will still be risks but choosing a good exchange is a top priority for you to consider investing

Yes thats the one of the main problem of IEOs, investors trust projects when they launched their IEO on a top class exchange or who have more credibility despite of the projects quality. Hope this will be stopped cause it's not healthy for the industry and the future of technology.

[sopanbmp]

if I was an investor, I won't to make investment to IEO. ITO, ICO etc. The projects who run IEO Must be have a bounty program, when the IEO were over next move is launching or listing in the market exchange, ususally  the bounty hunter will dump for fast profit income, this is the opportunities to fast trading. Bought in the deep then sell it when the project supporting the price. eassy 200% profit in a day.
