ICO, IEO! Which one do you want to return again?

[Jocuserious]

Creating new concepts means increasing the amount of scamming in new ways. I think i had to come back to invest in IEO.

- You know ICO had a lot of success at a time where investors weren’t disappointed, but a few days later a lot of scam ICOs were invented where investors lost a lot of their money.

- In the same way, many projects run by IEO got a lot of response at first but later they did not last long.

Again at this point in the same way Defi has created excitement where investors were smart at first time by making more profits but that is now where the scam scheme has grown and i don't think this concept will matter much anymore.[b/]

That is just it, ICO had so much success even many old projects which are still with us today once had ICO but the high number of scams is what lead to its death. Even ICO rating platforms, I have forgotten their names, which were made to try their best failed woefully hence the advent of IEO. IEO however, is a bit better although it has similarities with ICO, but yet till today it is still functioning but no much hype like before. Also, although there are scams in IEO but these scams occurs in smaller exchanges. Hence, if I am to choose, I would choose for IEO to come back, since it is better and have little scams. As for DeFi, the hype is gone and only few good projects are coming up.

If I am going to ask ICO in 2017 is much more better than ever, that's what I want to return again actually, because most of the ICO during this year was mostly ending up a good result of their campaign project. only few of them failed only unlike when 2018 up to 2019 it became rampant while IEO was only good in the beginning but not long last.

Return, was IEO already gone?

If I would choose, of course I would like to see ICO but a more regulated one because with ICO, there's no limitation of projects created in the market, unlike IEO where mostly the exchange dictate the future of the project, which is not good because it would also limit the creation of projects as investors will just likely invest on projects that has IEO in big exchanges, which not every project can afford to get listed.

I would prefer ICO because most of the time IEO are instantly filled up. ICO back then is powered by the community while IEO its the whales that are buying the token.

Between the two I prefer IEO because the project is already in the market, something that the projects in the ICO have not yet achieve, exchange is very important so investors will not have to wait, for the project to get in the market
, on IEO it depends on exchange that's hosting the IEO, they will not let scammers use their platform to scam.

[dhemasm]

Hmm that was little bit difficult, Even ICO it's already dead but if the project was have an great purpose, Good team and partnering or backed by some big Company, Altcoin, Etc it's still have a good chance to Success, Same with IEO, Only big Exchange platform that can guarantee the Token Sale will be a success like Binance, Bittrex, Kucoin, Hotbit, etc. Between the two I prefer IEO rather than ICO also IDO Was great too since it was directly sale to the community.

[coin-investor]

IEO is the one that replaced the ICO so it means IEO is far better than ICO and will always preferable as long as they do their IEO to a good and top-level exchange like Binance, there are a lot fo successful IEO than ICO, it is because of creation of IEO that saves investors of million-dollar worth of investment from ICO created by scammers, and besides ICO is a thing of the past.

[JRoa]

The trend of ICO is much longer than the IEO, I think the IEO just became popular within months then suddenly investors stop patronizing it. Today there are still ICOs but its trend is not as good as before where many ICOs are becoming successful after one another. I wanted to see that the ICO will shine again like before but we should just be careful because there are scammers who keep creating fake projects in order to deceive and get the money of their future victims. ICO is good as long as we will make investment in a good project where the team behind of it are also good where we can sure that they will not get our money.

[trauchot]

I would like it to be only IEO, because I often participate in IEOs on the top cryptocurrency exchanges and very often I managed to get a very good profit and therefore I am for IEO, but about ICO, there are of course a lot of scammers who conduct ICOs and you can lose your investments, therefore, let it be IEO rather than ICO.

[JeffBrad12]

I think that you should have noted if those ways are still being used by so many traders to generate more money. I personally will prefer to go back to the ICO and IEO rather than try to bet into the defi which can be a rug pull project anytime.
ICO and IEO is a bit better because both were having more chance to be successful projects.
Just look at how scammers can use defi to cash out the money instantly. It's also the majority of developers in the defi platforms who were anonymous.

[kidbounty]

I think IEO deserves to be popularized again. Compared to ICOs, IEOs can minimize fraud. if only Exchange would be a really good administrator. they can select a quality project. but the reality is inversely, they put too much priority on profit. so that all projects can pass verification. consequently investors who lose money. if the IEO is popular again, hopefully the exchange can be better at selecting new projects.

Neither! I would rather stay with bitcoin and ETH only! However, if some ICO wants to airdrop free coins then I would definitely welcome that because everyone like free money. But when it comes to investing out of my own poket, it's bitcoin and ETH only.

I did invest in Uniswap and locked up few hundred dollars into their yield mining pool, but the result is still not great! So probably that's going to be my first and last Defi project. If I had invested that amount in Bitcoin and ETH, I would have earned far better return!

[_IRMAN]

I don't want IEO or ICO or any other name to come back. I just want a good project that grows back, because whatever the IEO / ICO fundraising method is or whatever if the project is bad it won't be successful.

[Btra]

ICO and IEO both are the same concepts but unlike ICO, IEO is directly offered in the exchange which later provides more safety and liquidity for the investors.

[Tushar Ramani]

If I have to choose, ICO is the answer. Why? They were a quick money-making scheme for small investors/consumers. Scam doesn't matter because if you have researched properly and if you think it will return with 2x, you get 2x and forget it. No one can scam you unless you want to be scammed. On the other hand, IEOs were a money-making scheme for exchanges itself. They can invest themselves if they find hype is huge leaving a certain percentage of allocation to be distributed to participants. I felt it from binance because during one IEO (forgot the name), literally, no one was able to get in. I asked everywhere but didn't found someone with allocation.

[BDBitcoinExpart]

ICO best to me. The prices are kept in the ICO and if the project can raise capital, then it lists in a good market and goes to the investors with good profit.

[sotoshihero]

IEO for sure. Though ICO is exciting and very popular, there are many scammers who join the bandwagon and disappear with money they collected. While in IEO, though there are  "failed" project but at least it is being screen in exchanges and fraud is minimized. Sad to say IEO is not as popular as ICO during the 2017 boom, imho.

[linda101]

I don't want ICO to come back. Maybe because I had a bad experience with it. I was scammed when I invested in an ICO. It will get better when the entire crypto ecosystem would get better and cryptos take the world by storm.  

I started my blog named https://lethalthrowingknives.com/best-throwing-knives-for-beginners/ and invested the earnings of it in the ICO but I got ditched and lost all that money. So beware of that.  

[kapalmabur]

indeed nowadays good exchanges rarely launch IEOs, only Binance,
as far as I know, launched IEOs yesterday, and the increase was said to be only 2x,
even though the IEO is still not dead, ICOs are the same, now ICOs have risen again because of Defi,
many Defi projects launched ICOs and ended success.
