If crowdfunding started from IEO

[awakpane]

I'm just curious, if IEO was the first crowdfunding that came out with full hype just like ICO in 2017 would there still be better trusts on new projects today? I believe that IEO delivers more trust through top exchanges and that's why they are still very much alive today compare to ICO, what do you say?

ICO are notorious for their fraudulent nature, with 78% of ICO conducted in 2017 identified as scams. But with IEO, crowd sale is connected to well-known crypto exchange platforms that need to protect their reputation. IEO is filtered and checked before they are published, which makes it significantly more difficult to track users. hence the emergence of IEO eliminated this problem from the start, giving credibility to projects and peace of mind for users

It would have make more sense of IEO replaced ICO in 2017 and people are able to trust IEO more or let me say if ICO never existed and IEO created the whole ICO hype in 2017 it would have been a mind blowing situation till this day because IEO got something that ICO never had, Trust and guarantees from top exchanges, maybe we will have less trust issues in crypto space today? And also less scam projects too

IEO surpassed ICO in the main characteristics, simplicity of the purchase procedure, fast listing, guaranteed exit of early investors in plus, the probability of breaking a solid profit, if the project is successful.
So why invest in something that is no longer relevant today?

Even today there is no trust in IEO, so what difference do you think the time difference in introduction would mean to the blockchain world and even investors ? Also, i do not agree that we can compare IEO with ICO; I say that there is not point debating over any crowdfunding method; the future is here and we have seen projects do well without a token sale.

I think the crowdfunding trend depends on the market largely because as now market is improving im seeing icos and idos alongwith ieos and all types of these fundraisings are helping projects to generate initial funds so looks like with overall crypto market fundraising market is also improving but i do agree that IEOs at top exchanges is still the better choice.

ICO came as a result of smart contract from ethereum, developers enjoy the liberty of raising fund independently but scam and overvaluation destroy ICO. IEO came as a result of trust from exchanges, the reliable one still produce good projects till dates and maintain confident on investors. Although some project lost some value during the bear but I still believe that demands and pressure from exchanges like Binance, Huobi and Gate etc can restore the value of the coins during the coming altseason.

IEO is less scary than ICO because in IEO there is already an exchange partner, you may be sure that right after the ieo sale or public sale there will be a place where you could sell it, the only thing that it matters is how long will it take before you may sell your coin and no other problem. Some projects conducted ICO before IEO some are in opposite, but I rather choose IEO for may safety, anyway most of them have private sale before IEO so when it will start you may know of their exchange partner is good or not.

I do agree with it, both are still exist today and mostly people were not even doing any research before. We can visit icodrop and you guys will see if there are still a lot of icos being successfully raised the hardcap. We have the latest ICO called avanalche that has been making 10x ROI for the early investors.
Both were having the advantages and disadvantages but this depends on how confidence someone to invest in ICO or IEO.

Sometimes, all thing may not come from a good thing. I also believe that the presence of many projects came from ICO. At that time, we can't find many exchanges, the fee for listing was very very high. Additionally, they didn't find how the mechanism of the exchange listing for crowdfunding. This is by process likely the mechanism of IEo itself. And additionally, at that time, crypto is not popular, it is only for certain people who knew about it. bUt now, it is much easier to do IEO because we can find so many exchanges, competitive fee listing, and also growing community, and people who know about crypto.

Still the same. Even if they crowdfund gone through exchanges but if the projects are lie-low and don't continue in development.
The trust of the people will remain the same with projects and that is most of us will still doubt them. It's not about the good exchange where they've held their crowdfund but it's about their progress and continuous process of making the project owkr.

It's a good thing that ICO came before IEO, because we don't need more trust in shitcoin projects, we need less trust - they are all scams anyway. But IEO before ICO wouldn't make a difference, we'd still have ICO hype, and it would have been marketed as a decentralized approach, just like DeFi is being marketed now. And after DeFi and IEO there will be some new way to scam clueless people, because it's essentially the same - selling worthless digital tokens with a promise that someone will use them one day.

[Teraboy]

There would still trust to the new projects till today. There are still bunch of successful icos https://icodrops.com/category/ended-ico/

it looks like you must get more literation to know more about the ico development progress. The percentage of projects that are doing ico is much more greater compared with IEO.
You can see from there the ended ico that successfully traded on exchange site and gave good ROI.

If crowdfunding started with IEO there will be more investors in crypto space today and IEO will be more popular and probably more successful too, there would have been tons of 8x from almost all binance launchpads but unfortunately it was ICO, I'm sure we lose lots of investors when ICO projects start turning scam

Did you check Binance IEO (I'm using Binance exchange since they conducted most the successful IEO we had in the past and present) performance projects during last year in 2019? Almost all weny below their listing price which where below the average public sales. Not until early this year before they start pumping as they Mainet start going live with regular updates. Now tell me, how do you think most of this project react if we are in 2017 when most of investors were still new to cryptocurrency. Most of investors weren't even after the knowledge, they thought cryptocurrency is all about pyramid scheme where they can double their income.

In conclusion, the situation might still be critical but since it will be exchange, stolen of funds would have been minimal.

Not really.
IEOs could be the trend still right now but I believe they started to disappear as well so there's no point on arguing on what should be the first  type of project to emerge in 2017. Although the investor's will to invest might have been impacted from the events of scams from ICOs though that's why IEOs still started to fade like ICOs did.

[InwardContour]

If IEO was the very first crowdfunding pattern, maybe by now a newer kind of crowdfunding would have been enacted. However, IEO done on reputable exchanges has instilled great trust in investors and most crypto enthusiasts are comfortable with it. Even after IEO, we all saw a newer strategy by name IMO (Initial Model Offering) which failed wholefully. Unlike IEO which releases user funds after launchpad event, the IMO model releases investors coins bit by bit, across a year and also there are series of IMO sales for a particular coin even when it's trading. That aside, maybe a newer model similar to Bounce.finance which works in a decentralized fashion would have been enacted too, or maybe a better option.

ICO’s are still alive, it’s not dead yet, there are still good ones that you can find if you’re still interested in them. IEO’s too are very good and they work because they rely on exchanges and if the exchange that are being used as their Launchpad is a huge exchange that is very popular, then there is more possibility of the project being successful.

But not every IEO is successful, same way that it’s not every ICOs in the market that end up being successful. When IEOs came out at first a lot of people that there wouldn’t be any failed project, but that’s not possible.

[Nellayar]

I heard that IEO was around before ICO in 2017, people start switching to IEO after ICO projects are turning scam, at first no one cares about IEO but later IEO seem to be the only option left, moreover top exchanges are there to take the blame if anything goes wrong, unlike ICO where nothing stands between investors and tbe project

It becomes the option because ICO did not anymore gives assurance to investors. The decline of ICO gave IEO opportunity to become popular. I think it was all started since 2018 when Harmony became successful when it launched in Binance. We should accept the fact that crypto has always hype and it also have decays for every trend. Therefore, this defi hype does not long last forever. It may gone anytime soon. So, beware of our choices in investing defi coins.

[doctor877]

The major difference that it would have made is to reduce the scam rate that people suffered and also make it easy to tract and hunt anyone that tries to exit scam because an exchange is involved.

I like IEO as crowdfunding than ICO.  Because everyone in the crypto word is unfamiliar. No one here knows anyone. Crypto Word survives on faith. In ICOs there are much more chance to steal investors funds. In comparison, IEO is more trustworthy than ICO.  Because if the IEO is held in a top level exchange, the chances of fund theft are much less. Because no top level exchange will want to ruin their reputation.
