For those that have been around in the Cryptocurrency market for a pretty long time the question to invest in IEOs or ICOs has been the main discussion point in 2019.
For some especially on “bitcointalk” it is clear that they won't invest in IEO anymore. After I have followed lots of discussion on bitcointalk i realized that people have moved on. It is a clear that people invest in IEOs as the platforms will evaluate the projects and give the investor the feeling of security.
Nevertheless i have observed a trend. The numbers in the ICO market have been declining but stayed fairly stable in 2019. The main reason for moving on to IEOs was the astonishing amount of scams that had flooded the market, since it was easy to make a lot of money.
This move to IEOs has something good. I believe that as harder it gets to hold an ICO as more the projects have to do to convince potential investors. Scammers want easy money and my hope is that the ICO market will come back slowly. Projects that will hold an ICO have to invest more time to convince people.
I sadly had to accept that those who scammed investors destroyed the dream of projects with little money that have great ideas. To hold an ICO and build a community of investors around it is a great way to fund your project without going to big VC firms. Unfortunately those you scammed investors destroyed the ICO market till now and it will take a lot of time to recover.
I have accepted that IEOs are currently the way to fund a project. The only thing that worries me is the power we give those exchanges. Is it really god idea to give that much power to exchanges in the cryptomarket.
Please let me know your thoughts. I am looking forward to good feedback & discussions.
To stay tuned for more just follow me;)

IEO is indeed better for investment than ICO. The reason is that we can get coins directly from the exchange. However, this is not all the IEO is running as expected. I do not want to deny what you say. But I experienced the price of IEO coins after listing in exchange. the coins also drop, even losing the sale value.

I do agreee their are pro & Cons

Yes, indeed this is often the case. Simply put, before the coin can trade in an exchange (no deposit), the coin has a high price. After we deposit the coin, then the price of the coin falls immediately. Even the price can't last a month. Huh

It caused by those how have bought at IEO already dumped it to get the money before people from the outside will try to dump it immediately. Those guys who bought at IEO think the price will be dumped because more coin will be entering the market.

Even I think that coins that are not sold during the IEO, will sell after the market is listed, so the price of the coin falls. Most of the projects running both the ICO and IEO do not burn the remaining unsold coins as long as the IEO or ICO runs. Is that right? I have coins that are indeed priced down after listing the market, and I see the total sales of coins not in accordance with those already shared with investors and campaign participants. They sell large amounts of coins, I think this does not belong to investors but belongs to the project developer.

Scammers always have their own way and always have many strategies to make investors believe and want to invest in their projects. It's difficult to determine whether the project is a scam or not if the person behind it is very smart in making other people trust to invest in the project and for me right now we have to be more careful in investing in new projects and if we don't want to take risks to invest in new project then we can invest in the top coins.

You won't lose your money by the scammer if you don't invest in any project, haha Grin

Same thing, different name. The difference is that there are more results with ico scam than ieo scam; yet.

And the scammers will rob a lot of money as long as their project is hyped. Just spend a little amount and someone famous will help them promote their project. Honestly, I stopped to invest in ICO or IEO since early of 2019. For me, at now, almost new projects are the scammer.

What power are you talking about? Just because exchanges are the only thing standing between investors and new projects doesn't actually mean power, they are taking a big risk as well, once a good exchange introduce a IEO project that scam people that's the end for such exchange, they just ruined their reputation and no body will trust them again

ICO is never coming back no matter how much you hoped for it to, any new project that tries to use ICO to raise fund will be generally disappointed because they won't get near softcap at all, for IEO it's been said hundreds of time already to stay with Top exchanges

I think that during the next months or years we are going to begin to see a lack of interest in investing in ieos as well because even if you decide to invest in the ieos that are taking place in exchanges with very good reputations that doesn't really mean that you're going to get profits with those projects.

And profits are what every single investor in this market wants to get and since it is impossible to give them a guarantee that they are going to get those profits and with the high failure rate of ieos then the interest to invest in those projects is going to decrease significantly.

Indeed, there is no guarantee that all investments will get a profit, including IEO on exchangers with large volumes. And I think you are right that one day IEO will die just like the ICO that investors have begun to abandon.

Scammers are really smart I will not be surprised if they are already thinking about a new way to try to convince investors to give them their money, I really though that after the fiasco that the market of icos became people will never trust in any of those projects ever again.

But the popularity of ieos during the previous year seems to defy that theory, and if people want to lose their money to scammers there is nothing we can do except to not follow on their footsteps.

If I would between this two then I definitely pick IEO over ICO. At least theres a high possibility that your investment might gain profit in a short period of time in IEO unlike ICO its always a loss,or they couldn't make it to an exchange. Yes, we all knew that the IEO trend is near to an end but there are still giving profits in top class exchanges.

For sure majority of us will choose IEO as it seems more legit compare to ICO which can be easily done by most scammers, unlike in IEO when they will do it in reputable exchange they need to be verify first and making sure that the project was legit, but still doesn't guarantee that IEO can make you profit, still depends on a lot of factor.

Yes, there's no guarantee that IEO which been introduced inside reputable exchange will automatically considered to be safe. There's still chances that
the project will turned into scam in the long run, maybe in short term the gain can be achieved but after that quick pumped the next thing you will see is the continuous downfall of the project.

There are fake promises so we should not easily trust IEOs that keep saying that they will got listed in trusted exchange. Listing is a major factor because if the coin listed in untrusted exchange, the coin will become shitcoin because most of the investors are only using reputable exchanges. IEOs became risky investment because of the scammers so we should not easily believe to their attractive words and promises.

I have always argued against picking one of them, why do people do not realize that "who" created a coin and "who" supports it is the most important thing out there. If you have an amazing team that worked on coins before and get together to build their own coin, you will most likely will have a great coin in your hands.

Having a great coin is not enough tho, you also have to look at the community behind it, if there are thousands of supporters funding it very quickly and organically go share it everywhere, that great coin will also be priced high as well. After that you can be ICO, IEO, STO or you can be just airdropped out of nowhere for free without getting any funding and you can still be a great coin without caring about how you became one. The biggest fight starts after the offering part, not during.

I think it's depends on the project. Where investors want to invest. IEO is more better than ICO. But many project price drop after IEO and investors lost a loy of money. so be careful and research thousand times before invest.

you said first that its depend on the project but right after that , you also said that ieo was better than ico .

eventually you also said price drop after ieo . so that means ico was still better ? well not , because you said it all depend on the project . sometimes there are good projects on the side of ieo and sometimes most ieo projects were bad but you can only find good projects on ico. .

I don't think IEO or ICO will die as long as new projects are still popping up. For the developer team, ICO or IEO is the fastest way to collect project funding funds, but maybe in the future there will be a more efficient method of selling tokens. IEO still plays an important role right now for investors and the developer team because investors need a place to speculate and the developer team needs funds

After reading all replies It seems Though Liquidity is higher but IEO is more transparent than ICO and investing on IEO is saffer than investing on ICO if the coin launches on a reputade exchange. So we have to be awared about exchange before investing on any projects.

And where did you get that information that ico's have higher liquidity? IEO's are just a next step in evolution, instead offering your tokens by yourself, you have exchange to do it for you. Of course better exchange should choose better project, we like to think that exchange will not sell every junk, we think they choose projects carefully, but is it like that in reality?
After all we need to do research on the project itself, no matter is it ico or ieo, it's just a way for project to gather some funds. Will it be successful depends from many other factors too, not just did they choose to start as ico or ieo.

In my opinion IEOs will die off as well. It is only the question of time until people won't care about even big IEOs on exchanges like Binance, because they would be unprofitable. ICOs are completely on the bottom already and only bullish market can help to make things better.

Soon ieo will face thesame faith as ico because looking at it they are only slightly different from ico which means investors are not getting what they expected from ieo,
in my own humble opinion, i think real project should do more of self funding to show their level of commitment to their project rather than relying heavily on public funding, but then, since majority are not legit, they prefer to raise generate funds from the public in other to run away with it.

IEO is better than ICO for sure but I would like to see how IEO will perform this year, a new fund raising platform can rise from the deep and beat IEO, I expect nothing but surprises this year

IEO is a form of investment that will certainly grow in 2020 and investors will be more interested because most of the IEO projects I know are successful at big exchanges such as Huobi, Binance, Kucoin. I believe there will be many new IEO projects this year and will attract a lot of investors so this is a great time for you to make a profit.

In addition to the famous IEO projects, there are many IEO scam projects appearing at many exchanges, so be careful and think many times before choosing.
