Bonuses are only to deceive people

[stigmacryptonight]

Bonuses aren't for cheating, it's just as an attraction for people investing in their projects. With that, investors will be happy if they get a bonus.
But it is very unfortunate that the bonus is very bad for the price of the token later. Because disposal will occur and prices will dump.

[freedomgo]

If the project is a scam, all they offer are all deceiving, but in general, bonuses are offered to attract more investors, it should not be viewed as a deceiving offer, if you don't like what they offer to you, just simply disregard them and look for other projects to invest.

With a big and growing competition in the market, it's expected that projects will be more aggressive in giving good offers just to attract investors, it might look desperate but that's their strategy and there are still some people who believes in them and seeds the bonus as an opportunity.

true but only if the bonus is legit becuase some are doing a false promotions but after you deposit a fund , you will found out the you still dont satisfy the requirment in order to get the bonus  .  bonuses on ico/ieo are okay if they dont interfere with the price of the tokens but if it does then it should be not implemented  . i thought bonues for ico's only occur on the early stages but its new to my eyes to see that there are ico that promotes last stage bonus .

There are many projects that run a regular cash campaign and after that the project dies and cannot be liquidated. I wonder what they do it for?

[GGmith]

yes it is true, they do that to attract many large investments in their projects, if not so the company will also suffer losses and will not benefit from the project investors. therefore for the last 1 year I am not at all interested in investing in projects, especially ICO projects.

Bonuses or discount is just to bait people to buy more tokens from this project, so they tokens can sold out faster, this is one of trick that money-grabber project do. A excellent project no need to give bonuses or discount to the investor. Look at IEO on top tier exchange, no bonus no discount but it can sold out fast because it has a hype and people know it is a good project to invest...

[kram31]

25 percent to IEO participants? are we talking about investors?
If they will offer 25% discount to investors then its okay, this might be their last resort of having a sold out IEO.
But there was a tie before that i read a bounty which i didn't join because there is a rule statin that there will be additional 25% stakes per week if participate on public sale.

Its already the trend nowadays even in the real world like supermarkets
but lets get back on the bonuses its really the way to attract investors
but to make sure as an investor like me and the others , its up to us
to make sure that what we are joining is a legit company , and a legit
developers, most of the time we are being deceived remember, not all that
glitters are gold, so we must be very careful and look for those signs that
its not really a project but a scam, don't be fool by the bonuses and with the promises
always be careful

[meanwords]

I think giving bonuses is a common practice in order for them to sell the tokens even further. It's use not just in cryptocurrency but also outside. I wouldn't really call it deceiving because it also benefits the early investors. It's just that in this cryptocurrency space, new ICO/IEO is not to be trusted fully. If that project you mention is a success, then it's a win for those investors.

[cytpoway121]

If you have observed the crypto currency space; a summary of ieos are get rich schemes
Except for few rare exceptional successes in the space

I will implore you to get used to the disappointments; so you can enjoy the excitement as it comes forward

They do not know in advance whether their project will succeed or fail. They hope their project can be similar to many projects in 2017. Just create a scam project and run bounty, then they profit millions of dollars from ICO sales

[Ghenjer]

bonuses are a powerful way to attract investors' attention, if an ICO or IEO project offers a 25% bonus, of course many are tempted to invest with them, but unfortunately a large bonus cannot replace returns to make up for losses. many projects currently offer a large bonus of 20% -30% just to fool investors, beware before investing in any project.

[Leonardo7]

This is just a way to lure investors to the project and get to buy early. This doesn't in any way mean the project will be successful. In fact, I even prefer a project that sells cheap without bonus than selling with big bonus only to struggle to keep the price from crashing after listing in an exchange. But still, the team are scared that without bonus they may not attract enough investors.

[Winscosinally]

The idea of Projects giving bonuses to investors is not that bad but if the bonuses are too huge or way too much then its very alarming,there is a possibility that the project is scam or pump and dump project,the aim of such projects is no other than the FUNDS.

Most times, excessive bonus kill the project, except the project has a very robust community and has good liquidity and therebye supporting the project for an organic growth. Although the major intent of any bonus is to get the attention of buyers who may think it's a good offer but actually a deadly one in the long run.

I think that a big bonus will not affect the project so much if the team will freeze the coins of those investors who received a bonus for a year or more.

I just checked an ANN thread. There was a post regarding the last round of the IEO. They were offering 25% discount to IEO participants. I wanted to post on that thread. But instead of posting on that thread, I decided to create a new topic as there are many same IEOs.
Offering bonus on the last round of an ICO/IEO is really funny.
The bonus is valuable only if there are some other participants that sell the tokens at higher prices. I cannot understand bonus on the last round of an IEO. Even if they give 1000% bonus to investors, it doesn't differ. The bonus on the last round must be zero. These kind of IEOs try to deceive participants. It might be true even if we call them scammers.
If a token price is 100 satoshis and they give all participants 25% discount. Investors shouldn't be happy that they have bought the tokens at 75 satoshis. Because the price is 75 satoshis not 100 satoshis.
We can say the price is 100 satoshis if there will be a next round and some people buy the tokens at 100 satoshis.

There are bonuses given in the early stage of ICO so most of the interested people do buy them in the pre-ICO period and the new investors are nearly zero when the prices of token are maximum. In order to not to make the last stage of ICO useless and to attain the desired cap, projects do go with the bonus scheme even in the last stage. It doesn't really make a difference to the economics as the real price of token is the one with the highest bonuses.

I cannot understand bonus on the last round of an IEO. Even if they give 1000% bonus to investors, it doesn't differ.

The purpose of those bonus is to make sales even at the last minute of that round. They are pursuing more people to buy their token at their sale because they want to sell out, as in total 100% sales for their token.

It's their strategy so that's why they create promotion like giving bonuses to the last round to encourage and attract more investors. Probably a desperate move if the bonus is near to the end of their IEO.

They are only thinking of the funds that they are going to raise and not the consequences of giving to much bonus, it just encourages dumping, no wonder we are seeing peice lower than 50 to 90% because of the very huge bonus they are giving to late and early investors, in the end they are just harming their project.

With many bonuses given by the team, of course, this becomes an   attraction for investors to invest in the ICO, but in the case of investors as if they do not think with a large enough number of tokens will make the price of these tokens dump in the market,, and this can also automatically cause they suffer losses and usually indeed with a large bonus that is not necessarily able to cover losses that can be obtained by investors.

[Kezacky]

to be honest that is true, the bonus is just a bait to attract the attention of investors to join in it. well maybe not all of them but in fact a big bonus would result in large losses. I no longer see real benefits when investing in ICO, I think investing in IEO is more profitable now.
