I personally don't believe that ICOs and IEOs will experience a revival in 2020, after all, far too many people have had their hands burned in the last two years. These crowdfunding methods simply won't work anymore.

Exactly. People have learned and are not willing anymore to try these out and this is what everyone is waiting for 2020. I think if there will be a new kind of crowdfunding it will be difficult for them to reach their target sale and amount of collection. It's wise for investors just to stick to their plans of buying and holding reliable coins like bitcoin rather than investing into these crowdfunding where promises will remain as promises.

While in the traditional and usual investing technique of buying and selling or holding coins, it's more reliable to everyone that doesn't want to get into this unsure investing to stay into that method.

I also don't believe that security token offerings (STOs) will be the thing that takes their place either. Just because they are regulated, doesn't mean people think they will immediately explode in value after listing on exchanges. After all, regulated tokens means the teams behind the project are not allowed to do anything to directly influence the trading price of token—apart from normal business practices. Because of this, you can say goodbye to market making promotions and other scammy tactics used to artificially inflate the trading volume and price.

We should stay well away from any type of FOMO driven investment methods, this is not the way forward in this industry.

ICO was far better than shit STO! I haven't seen any successful STO projects yet, all are failed or scammed. So, STO is finished! Right now only IEO is ruling the sale section in crypto, but its records are not good enough throughout this year except for a few exchanges, maybe the crypto market needs a better plan.

There were some successful STO projects before and this year I only have seen the Bitbond STO could hit their soft cap, though they deceived the bounty hunters, for that, Bitbond is likely dead now. Actually STO projects did not scam rather they failed miserably to raise the soft cap. Like the LOL token, Hyghtech STO failed to gain enough money to run the project, but they did not scam.

so in short, STO and IEO are following the fate of ICOs. and we are already witnessing that to several projects. those with solid backing can only prosper in this kind of crowdsourcing scheme.
investors are discovering that one way or another, it is just another form of collecting money and yet the path will not change if those projects continue to screw their investors by not delivering their objectives...

Its all the same. Investors can't do anything when these teams are going to run the money they collected. They can't run after it since these teams are everywhere, their hired CEO lives in Africa and the CTO is somewhere in Europe while the developer is spread all over China. Their marketing staff only lives in fake linkedin profile with the photo of popular celebrity so non of these crowdfunding ideas work as long as there is no multi sig escrow that will just send fund upon agreed milestone.

In the last 2 years ICO has gone upto peak level with many projects.
Now ICO market is completely gone because of 90% projects fallen into scam category.
Many startups made huge money and in return they pay nothing.
So whats new these days as a trusted token offering model?

People invested in initial coin offering in 2017, but, over 80% turned scam and scammers also used it as a source of scamming people because it is not regulated by governments.

People are not longer interested in ICO but can still have second thought in investing in IEO if the exchanges that offered such token have excellent reputation.

The risks in investing in ICO, IEO and STO is high but I can still consider investing in IEO of well reputable exchanges. It is the safest to me.

IEO is more promising for anyone who participates in it. in this context we can see the IEO history of various exchanges that succeeded in selling tokens within minutes. Of course, investor interest in IEO is quite high and the presence of IEO is a disaster for ico, which investors have begun to leave.

ICO is not ended at all, brilliant guys can raise money through ICO! Like this year, I liked very much the Ferrum ICO system, they raised the hard cap within a few hours. So, a good project still can raise money through ICO. The majority of crypto people don't like the STO plan, So, a big no for STO. IEO idea worked very well this year, so, my pick is IEO, and I believe people will stop investing on the shit exchange's IEO in 2020 and will follow only real volume's exchange's IEO.

Scams will happen as long as money is involved. You cannot stop scams, but you can educate investors.

Just like ICO, IEO is also in the verge of getting rejected and I feel the same will happens to STO. Start-ups have to change now if they are looking for investment. They have to have a product ready before asking for funds for further developments. No one will be interested in investing if the startup does not have a product ready. Some of them have already started working on it.

Yeah, i guess there is a new method of gund raising that was newly introduced my some team, Initial Model Offering (IMO) is a new way of raising funds for a long period of time, for better understanding of this ieo and ico killer, then read this, imo according to the poster is hoping will replace ieo but i wonder if this will happen.

however the development to make changes by substituting for a new system but not based on the desire to improve, it is futile. because after all change it then fraud will always haunt it. so no one can guarantee 100% will be safe from the perpetrators who want to seek profits for a moment. the most important thing is actually to provide continuous information not to participate in a new project that has clearly committed fraud, so that they will feel that what is done will be in vain and useless.

Are you just knowing? ICO is gone and IEO and STO has taken over and is functioning real well. The ICO is now been used for scams, this calls for vigilance by all Bitcoin users. Though IEO and STO can also be manipulated but STO helps for better and safer exchange of security conserved token, the absence of green ROI on it is an added advantage for IEO.

It is hard to tell which is scam free, bit despite all shortcomings, some projects, although very few of them, are trying their best to give back something meaningful to their investors, but there has not been one that is 100% faithful. Most times, investors who make profits from them, know how they go about it. However, you should know that they are based on speculations

Now no projects can not offer any conditions for investors, which could be a guarantee of saving money and that is why investors do not spend money. I think that in 2020 new tools will appear that will be more reliable than IEO and will guarantee not profit, but at least the safety of the money that a person invests in a new project

ieo and sto are almost the same as ico, and only a few of their tokens selling systems is different but if we pay attention, Ieo is also almost as bad as ico because ieo cannot guarantee that investors will be able to benefit from their investment and many projects ieo which ultimately only ends in a scam without any development of their products and tokens in the future after ieo officially ended on the exchange.

i have no idea if there were companies doing STOs and had successfully made their tokens in the exchanges. its not going to be a scam proof. we've seen these companies registered in SEC but ended as scam, none of the users marked them a scam. i wonder.

STO can be a good way if the government will really be checking them. but STO will also be an opportunity for scammers, bigger scammers actually who can coordinate with bigger companies who can fight in court if someone sues them.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

Well it has been proved that people are very inventive when it comes down to crowdfunding money for their projects so I wouldn't say that they have no other option. However STOs is the only "legal" way I see to raise money for tokens that are backed up by securities while utility tokens can be sold through ICOs and IEOs.

My conclusion is that these kind of crowdfunding campaigns are not viable anymore. We all know that the most money is raised privately from venture capitals and private investors. Retail power is very small, so I think most of the fundings will be private in the next era unless the project doesn't want to raise a large amount, but instead focus on community.

Yes, I hope the trusted member in this forum will become an enscrow / third party as a crowdfunding lawyer for a project. In my opinion, this forum is very influential in the scope of crypto, so I hope in the future there will be ideas or solutions related to rampant scammers. for ICO today no one believes, only a handful of projects are successful, others die after completion due to lack of interest from investors. For IEO, investors were initially interested because it was entirely safe by involving exchanges, but what happened? IEO has little potential, there is no green ROI on it, and everything is filled with manipulations, such as unreasonable allocations. Honestly, I tend to choose or like coins that are already on the market.

Nothing, well be new all this kind of token offering will be loaded of scammers. Even STO or security token offering can be fake by scsmmers.

What we need now is to open our eyes on what is fake and what is true, and ofcourse always think that there are risk in investing in token offering because even legitimate project can be scam eventually at the end.
