Are IEO's bad?

[tonyja2017]

ICO and IEO go in the same direction but IEO is still trusted by investors.
The downside of this approach is that too little IEO pump will entice fewer IEO players.
 IEO has changed, the old way of playing is no longer suitable, we should also change to adapt to plan accordingly, rather than rigid a nostalgic strategy is very difficult to make a profit.

It is like a middle man service that is how I see it. So the earnest is on the trust you have and the faith you have for the exchange. The exchange has its reputation in the line which I am sure it won't want to ruin especially if it is a long-standing exchange. I think the longer standing exchanges have more to lose and are more likely to be more successful or at least less likely to be a scam. I can't see why any scam would want to or could recover from a huge scam they ran. People will never trust them as much and they will lose huge trading volume. So with that a the line people are more likely to trust an IEO.

Supermarkets: are they good bad?

You are asking the wrong question. The important is what are you buying there. Both Ethereum and Bitconnect came from ICOs, are ICOs good or bad? Who bought Eth at ICO price and sold at 1k usd got a huge profit. The project is alive and evolving. Other people lost everything holding Bitconnect. Use your brain.

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.?

Yeah, this is somehow based on the credibility of the exchange and it is not bad at all. Based on my experience, good exchanges like binance would never host a shitty project and that is the reason why investors trust too much on their IEO. But if one shitty project get pasts on binance launchpad then it is over for binance, they will lose investors.

Yes this trend of only looking at exchanges launching IEO will surely overlook the project itself. Nowadays, investors are in belief that IEOs launched on reputed exchanges are always good. But in fact, that is not the fact. Launching IEO is only a means of collecting funds to fund a crypto idea. The merit of a project should remain forever.

You're right, and I agree with you brother. IEO does not want a project basis that immediately goes to say that it is good, because I have seen a project campaign under the IEO program with the exchange being IDAX which is actually included in the top 10 or 20 exchanges on coinmarketcap but the coin or token is listed in idax, its zero volume and the other is 1 sats or 2 sats the price value. This means that the value of the coin's product is really important to keep its price in the market.

We can't say that IEO is good or bad, and that it is better than ICO in all aspects. But one thing is true - IEO is more trusted due to a reliable intermediary, exchange. Tokens don’t go directly to the smart contract of the investor by stay on the exchange contract. It ups the chances of losing money due to a hacking attack or other fraudulent actions. IEO is high transparency, higher safety and high liquidity. So, I choose IEO.

IEO is much better than ICO due to high quality exchange filter

Just because the exchange will check the project does not mean that it will succeed. And that's the problem. Inexperienced investors are guided only by the fact that the project is credible. But they do not check at all whether he has a chance to succeed.

It has been like that, IEO is just an exchange approving the idea of a project making a crowdfunding from the masses through their platform. There's no such thing as 100% when it comes to investing.
Even all those exchanges are only approving based on the legitimacy of the project and NOT because it has a promising future for most of the cases.
People just need to realize that IEO can't live up to what people has hyped up in the past because it's basically ICO but having partnership with exchanges.

so far in my understanding of IEO it's been good .. but all the things we do there must be positive things (advantages) and negatives (deficiencies).. many of us find EO on the big exchange, but after IEO is finished the tokens are finally not listed on that exchange anymore and they prefer other exchanges that are not too big to be listed. so investors must lose their money because the specified market does not have a large volume to trade. hopefully in the future all IEO implementers can list in the market where they make IEO ...

Whether it is IEO or ICO, there is risk of the project failure and fraudulent acts. It is the cancer of every system that spreads and causes panic and bad reputation to the public. IEO could sound like safer but it won't guaranteed that 100% will the project succeed. If the exchange is very popular, many will follow the IEO but since it is an investment, risks can play their role. It will be all go down to how long will be your faith to the project.

[sky_Gritzz]

i don't think so, because IEO and ico is not much better, but IEO just have support from market where project launch IEO than conventional ICO.
 and investing money in IEO is make investor money safer because escrowed by exchange

[btcdie]

nonsense. good projects will definitely choose a good exchange, of course, the exchange will filter out IEO projects that will be listed, because the reputation of the exchange will have an effect as well.

someone's assumption that if a large project / really real will definitely choose a famous exchange. but there are also some large projects that choose to be listed on a simple exchange, maybe the reason is they want to work together. basically the IEO or ICO project aims at an investor to only make a profit, but the presence of IEO is preferred because it is more guarantee and profitable.

[zhengqi]

I believe that the question of choosing an exchange should not arise. After all, you need to participate in IEO only on proven exchanges. But that doesn't mean you have to trust them completely. Always worth doing your own research.

This is true because investors always look at the exchange for the coin . They believe that other investors too would prefer to invest in such coin listed in a high volume market. But sometimes these are not good coins but the popularity of the exchange can keep sustaining it.

Most of them are great, IEO is upgraded version of ICO and I think it has some better features when compared to ico

IEO is really an upgraded version of ICO but most of them are not really good as you think
some of them don't have good purpose and a lot of them is a scam
after getting the money from exchange sometime the team will just disappear

IEO is really much better than ICO because most ICO projects are scams and unsuccessful, that is why most investors and bounty hunters have stopped participating in new projects nowadays. I think IEO aren't that bad because some of them are good, but some of them are still don't have any good value in their exchanges.

[judaspriest]

IEO is not bad, bad is the exchange that launched the IEO, my advice is to try to buy IEO in exchange, you should know which exchanges are worth buying IEO, of course the first choice is Binance, then Kucoin and maybe Bittrex

[Cheatbtt]

Apart from that, it is true that IEO which is listed in large exchanges, especially Yobbit and Binance, in my opinion deserves to be followed. not only because of credibility but because parties from large companies like Binance will not offer a bad IEO to their investors.
