The return of ICOs

[RealMalatesta]

I feel like maybe it is time for something else? Something more tangible, something more legit. Right now there is really nothing that can stop these people from asking for money and getting it and just steal it and move on with their life. There is rarely anyone ever being sued for doing something like that and it is not even seen as a business legally and that is why they can do whatever they want to.

We need something that will keep the owners accountable, I understand if they fail on what they want to achieve but I can't accept that they are hoarding all the cash they got on funding without any audit at all and not spend it on the company, they "look" like they still running and doing something but when you check where those funds go, there is no data, maybe they bought a house for themselves, who knows?

Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a come back? I do and here is why. Every year dozens of companies raise money in Silicon Valley for startups, many pre revenue. Also, with the economy injured from nCov19, it would make sense to allow for new economies. This would include letting new startups in Blockchain raise money, and imo if they are well vetted, and trusted by the community, they should be allowed to raise money. What do you think?

ICO has been dead because we have seen most of the projects became scams after the fund raise. Investors were cheated by many projects. Now IEO is more safer than ICO but here is an obstacle. Projects are running after the newer or low volume exchanges where maximum trade are occurred by bot. Investors should be more careful before investment.

What about some recent icos that can reach its hardcap and made 4x profit for investors? Ieo is much safer but it's only for ieo that backed by big exchange site. Any ieo that was running by a small exchange site has the same chance with ico to be the scam project

If there is no IEO, people might still invest with ICO.
Scams are already big in the past, but the good thing is there are still a lot of project that was successful, and it looks like a battle of the smart investors against the investors with lack of knowledge and experience, so while some will complain, some would also defend since they make money from investing in ICO.

ICO no longer attracts investors like two years ago, and projects using this form are often overlooked because they do not have enough potential, so I will never participate. Currently, you should only choose to invest in the IEO projects that are mentioned by people because if you are lucky, you will make a huge profit. Of course, there are still risks that you need to avoid, and I recommend you invest only when you know the project well.

No because of SEC (look what happened to Telegram's TON token)

The ICO has been dead for a long time, and I don't think it will return. New projects are now also restricting the use of ICOs to fundraise their projects, most of which are using IEO to raise funds, even though they may be small exchanges.

basically the trust in ICO at the moment is really reduced at this time. however many disappointments were caused by previous ICOs. however, I still hope that things will improve, but it seems better to see the development of new sales techniques such as IEO compared to the current ICO.

[jessyj48]

No ICO is not coming back again, ICO is dead because no one trust it anymore, scammers make enough money through ICO in 2017 to 2018 before IEO came to the rescue, right now I hope new projects will have chances to use top exchange for their IEO

Did you see what happened with blockstack as the first ico that gets license to do the crowdsale with A+ grade? If you didn't see that and i suggest you to take a look at the news about blockstack and how it was able gaining the permission from SEC.

Projects are raising money successfully using IEO, if you don't know well ICO was ruined because of many exit scam that happened two years ago, we still have good investors on big exchanges, I don't see any reason to keep hoping for ICO to make a come back.

Very often, in order to raise the necessary money for an IEO, a company conducts an ICO first. One of these projects over the past year can be called Cartesi, whose bounty was held at this forum. This campaign first held an ICO and then an IEO on the Binance exchange. CTSI is currently trading x2 of the IEO price.

Sure new projects will sprang up. The issue is it is going to be ICO or IEO. If a company is not well known people bother about its transparency in handling investors money.

[MUG1WARA]

after the IEO trend why are you still talking about ICO? ICO has not gained the trust of investors because many ICOs have run off investors' money. ICO will never return after IEO there may be a trend again in the future to save investors

Both were facing the same issues. There was no a lot of differences between ico and ieo. The only make it difference was the what exchange site that will launch the ieo.

IEO doesn't have transparence and it's the same as ico.

If I am not mistaken, they also paid millions of dollars in legal fees to do ICO with SEC permission

Not everyone can do that

[Darkuso]

Yep, probably we will see tech companies, banks and governments, using their reputation to launch ICOs, it will be easier for them to gather all that money that some noname-developers. So yeah, I'm afraid that this will hit the crypto world even worst than before.

But real talk, even there is an IEO it can be still use for the scammer as well. It is not a guaranteed that if there's an IEO automatic means safe project, of course not! ICO or IEO it always the same in one point like it can become a tools for scamming people or investors. Only their difference was on IEO has already exchange listed.

It may or it may not, well, if we are going to talk about having ICO in bullrun, maybe it is possible as for sure, same thing will happen 3 years ago wherein ICO even not with working projects are able to raise funds with just a well-made whitepaper and for sure, new investors and players will come in who are seeking for quick profit, people learned a lot for the past years but of course, there are still people who are not well-informed and chances of getting scammed is so high with these ICOs

It is difficult for a new project to do an ICO and get sales results like in 2017. I think the ICO has begun to fade and began to be replaced with IEO. New exchangers are constantly popping up and also doing IEO on projects and in my opinion the ICO trend has begun to sink

new exchanges that do IEO will not get investors. if there is a project like that then ignore it. New projects must focus on developing first with the launch of a prototype platform. if the market already knows if the project is going well, of course waiting for investors to come to provide development funds will be easy.

to raise the economy which has weakened again one of them in the blockchain sector, a little interesting considering the decline in interest in people to invest in the blockchain and hopefully this will get a good response.

No,,, I do not think we can simply say everything in crypto has a fixed cycle. Bull and bear events are market events but ICOs were a thing of the past. They are still possible and will probably continue to be a model for fundraising, but they will never achieve the crazy fomo of 2017 anymore.

Look at STOs. They died so fast nobody gives a care anymore.

Agree with you, investors are only interested in reputable and liquid exchanges. If IEO were to perform on small and new exchanges, I believe they would fail like ICOs
