Topic: IPO or ICO ? (Read 4305 times)
It would be interesting if the presale results determine whether the project starts or not.
I voted for IPO because of regulation from government and it's completely accepted from wife community I hope ICO also becomes popular after regulation and proper law against scam .
if you are a big brother, you are definitely more willing to IPO 
this topic is forward-looking, until two years later, it became the most popular one way today.
So IPO, ICO and Presale which is the correct term?
Yeah. The first two were essentially explanatory metaphors. "Presale" is the most accurate.

I did not even know that IPO and ICO are different things 
Initial Public Offering or Initial Crowdfunding Offering ? 
I always thought it was standing for Initial Project Offering and Initial Coin Offering. With my acronyms, I would go for IPO, because it's backed by something more solid.
I wonder if there is some mechanism to ban this kind of scams from this forum and how we can protect us from this? Neither one of them have future, we must act.
I prefer Ico always,people now prefer fast profit and actually experience it on three occasions and would like to do that over and over again,but you need to take a closer look on the project if they really can deliver what they promise to their investors..
I prefer 'crowdfunding' to ICO and IPO myself
neither, but ico is slightly better than ipo, there are less chance for scamming with ico as i see it, yes more safe
IPO commonly use on real world stocks while ICO on cryptocurrency investment offerings. Since we are in the world of crypto I definitely prefer ICO than IPO.
I don't see a real difference in ICO or IPO, the way I understand it: getting some money to start a project. That's all.
What is the difference with someone trying to start up a new company and trying to convince other people to give him some money?
People that wil give money to this new company should know it's a very high risk investment and therefor these type of investors will invest into a lot of different startups to spread the risk and hope that 1 out the 100 will become succesfull.
So don't put all your money in one (shit)coin but spread it over a lot of different projects. One of them wil explode in a couple of years.
People should stop thinking short term P&D scheme. Think long term value of new ideas.

Well, I think there is a huge grey area surrounding the terms. Much of this "grey area" is due to the borderless nature of cryptocurrency networks. Cryptocurrencies are defined, legislatively, in many different ways among the various jurisdictions. Many of these legislative definitions have not been tested judiciously so, for now, they are what they look like: money grabs....the whole bloody lot of em!
And those who are greedy and think they will become rich this way. Few will get their prizes but for the rest this will become nightmare. This is how this works, you can't get something from nothing.Value is based by ice prince and when PnD stops disaster comes.
I prefer a well organised and executed POW with a reasonable premine for devs that is multisig and held by escrows... only released to devs as they reach their milestones they promised.
ICO and IPO both unregulated and totally gamed scams for the most part. 100% premine with lots of ways to ensuring devs and pals get huge proportion of it if there is good tech... or dumping it all on investors if there is nothing behind it. Either way total lose lose for everyone else in comparison to the dev team.
ICO with reasonable long term mining = better but still not as good as full pow.
This is most accurate answer! ICO and IPO are not good way for getting funds for something that is not finished nor working yet. Only if you have complete working system, but even then i don't recommend this way of distribution.ICO and IPO both unregulated and totally gamed scams for the most part. 100% premine with lots of ways to ensuring devs and pals get huge proportion of it if there is good tech... or dumping it all on investors if there is nothing behind it.

POW is best way!
People who have no means to set up a mining rigs are the one who falls to ICO and IPO it's much easier but like what I post there are advantage and disadvantages I have so many altcoins on Yobit who have not move up to their ICO price and that's unfortunate..
Who really believe in this "development" paid with hundreds of btcs to some anonymous guys with fake or photoshopped documents "verified" by some other anonymous members?
Even better if they reveal their identity what can you do if they decide to "deliver" after few years?

I like ISP. Initial Sucker Pump. It's way more accurate than either of the alternatives.
