Understand that investors are looking for profit. They will push the team to add the tokens to the exchange for them to dump already. The rise of IEO is a good chance for these  investors for they know the tokens that are for sale on exchange are assured to be listed on the same exchange and the only they need to know is when the market will be open and that is when they collect their profit by dumping.

If you do invest into these projects and the team fail to list on any decent exchange then this is the downfall of the project.  I will use Davcoin for exchange, raised more than $20 million and the team couldn't list on any decent exchange and the project now is less than $200k in Mcap the last time I check, regretted not selling and cutting short my loss

We can't blame those investors because some of them are just expecting quick returns from their investment and nowadays you can only see a few investors who really believe in a project and targeting long-term goals, maybe because of what happened in the crypto market wherein the bear market stays longer than the bull market which makes them think not to hold for so long and forget about the real worth of the project.

Investors refer to their previous IEO track record. all exchanges initially experience uncertainty and the first IEO occurs due to positive reactions from their own users, eventually growing into the special trust of various other investors.

Other exchanges also apply equally, but on average those who fail will not be too desirable anymore, investors don't want to experience problems and even incur a second loss. Product development is no longer attractive to short-term investors/traders, I think people like this are still more dominant than loyal ones.

For sure and in my opinion it is the right point. Generally speaking, investors are those who should rule the project, because there would be nothing without their money, so I usually do not get why team members are so stubborn from time to time.

Well, they are right in some ways if you check. Any product that is not listed on an exchange is less likely to succeed.
Investors need something that they can trade at any time they want and when a product is not listed on an exchange it doesn't grow, so they are not going to still waste time with it.

You can take yourself as an example, I don't think you will like to be pouring thousands of dollars on a project that is not going to make you any profit. When things are not working you are sure going to quit and switch to something different, unless you're just someone that likes being a loser and losing your money on things that don't make any sense.
Of course, investors and bounty hunter to be exact because we supported that particular project until the end especially when it becomes successful, the biggest event or happening that is awaited is to be listed in some exchange so that the token that investors bought is able to sell by them if that particular token has already a lot of volumes and value, because there are some projects that are being listed but the token itself doesn't have any value, so the investors and bounty hunters are waiting until that particular token can have a price.

I think it's natural because some investors only want to get profit when investing their money in ICO or IEO. If they believe the project will succeed in competition and good development, i think there will be many investors will choose to wait for the product to be released compared to being listed on exchangers

I agree with you since the exchange price listing is one of the key to know if the project will be successful or not, what product are you expecting from a project whose price have dropped over 500% from the ico price when listed or traded on the exchange ?

Product development is secondary since most ico presale are interested in dumping some of the coin they bought at high discounted price and move to another project, exchange listing shall bring happiness to them.
it means you disagree with OP opinion. read the post carefully


Exchange is important, development is important too.
remember that tokens/ coins wont have value if it doesnt have any good development. "who will buy shitcoin"
IMO many people more excited with exchange just because of "hype"

Of course the investor also needs to receive the profit he or she must earn, and the bounty hunter to receive the pay of their hard-earned work.
So now we see what the investor and bounty hunter need in the immediate exchange, which we can now see in IEO or Initial Exchange Offering.

Basically the investors want their profit of return immediatelly so if there is a project announce will soon listed to the exchange then they will so excited to wait so mostly they have no patience to wait a little longer because postpone projects usually makes them worried the projects will never appears to the exchange and i think this is the caused too why the current investors are more likely to interested joining the projects which already listing to an exchange
True, investors want their money back quickly. well, it shouldn't be difficult to list on the market exchange if the ico is (let's say) success.
whereas the project also has nothing to lose, right? the project already get enough money from investors to develop their products.
and yes, investors currently prefer projects that are already listed on the market (at least there are guarantees available in the market) rather than having to wait for obscurity from the project team

the market is part of traders and investors.
I myself am also confused why many project teams always postpone market listing despite the big opportunity. what are they afraid hmmmm.... (I don't quite understand either) maybe they already spent all the investor money for party (we don't know that)  Grin
You must know that getting listed into exchange requires massive amount of money even I heard that listing in exchange like binance takes millions. ICO currently have a rough time gaining investor and recklessly spending money for that is an unwise decision because it could take up all the allocation for the project development. It's like they got sandwiched, you spend money for listing your project will potentially running out of funds but if you don't spend money on listing people will rage over the project and ended up losing the investors. everything is just not as easy as it may look and yeah there are some dumbass developers that use money for party aswell ofcourse that is out of the question.

What use of their collect a hardcap and then didnt listing their token to any good exchanges. Projects that collect a lots of fund and didnt use it correctly most likely will vanished asap after they get the money from ieos or icos. Atleast when the token get listing in the exchanges some might can sell the token and make a fast profit from it.

if the investor asks the project to register the market list because they have funds for the project, and that is one of their rights. and when the market list is available they will find out whether their funds are safe or there is a decrease in funds (loss). when it happens they must be complaining because the price is not in accordance with the price when they invest, if the Developer does his job well that is able to make their real platform work and attract market investors then the price of the token can be offset but what happens a lot is the opposite in my mind Developers are unable hold the project when the sale ends

This statement its not far from the truth.  I have also discovered that the news of new exchange listing drives more FOMO than that of mainnet or product development.  This issue can be traced back to 2018 durring the bearish market many investors bought tokens based on the product the project had to offer but on the long run they end up lossing big time due to dump in price,  most investors now learnt a big lesson from those incident and most are now just after the profit an ICO can yield and not the product development. But for crypto to gain more adoption and move to mainstream investors need to stop seeing crypto as only a profit venture but look at the real solution it can offer

I do not agree with you. Currently, ICOs are losing interest among investors, most ICOs are worthless and there are many scammers around it.

That one is even fair, I know of a project that raised over $7 million in their presale for almost 2 years now and has refused to even conduct an ICO or IEO, instead they use the raised funds to develop their perform, the platform developement is almost complete but the keep postponing the sale up till today.

Sometimes it's not that investors are more interested in exchanges than development but the fact remains that nobody likes their funds ties up for years without any way to liquidate the tokens they were given.

I am not saying that investor does not have the right to their money, but since the project is already giving them update on what they are doing, I think that the best thing would have been for them to be more patient with them, because establishing a project is really not an easy task and you see many of them that has rushed into an exchange, they have rushed out too when they got whales that were already waiting to dump the project on them.

If they enter an exchange now, and a big whale that has bought many of the coin dump the coin, would they not loose, so it is better that the project rather develop to the fullest and make their product known worldwide so that even when they experience dump, the project product would have already be speaking for them.

I totally agree with you. ICO investors are treating ICOs as investment opportunities rather than projects that they will actually support. Investors are looking for a simple and quick profit without minding what the company wants to do and what they will achieve for the future.

This is the reality nowadays, but I don't know if you agree or not.

As what I have observed since last year, lots of ICO investors are more excited and making some noise when a crypto startup announced that they will be listed in some exchanges.

I have browsed a lot of Telegram groups coming from various ICOs, IEOs and other forms of token sales. When they announce their partnership with a "XXX" company or they have launched their v2.0 of their product, it seems that the community are kind of less impressed and not excited about that.

Last year, there's an ICO where until now, they haven't listed in an exchange as they focused more on product development. It's like almost 2 years and they haven't listed their token yet in exchanges but they only give us a quarterly report on what they're doing with the product. It results for most investors to become impatient and demand their money back or getting listed to exchanges at least.

This is what I've been observing for now, the behavior of most investors who are expecting their returns or gains after the ICO is complete. What do you say guys? Agree with this or not?


I agree and I'm one of those who wants to see the token I've invested and promote in a good exchange, this is the purpose why people are investing in a token they want to see how good it will perform in the market, platform and exchange are two things that you cannot separate, so expect people to ask for exchanges.
