You should not go with ICO because of reasons that will lead your project to a defamed one. ICOs are not trustworthy among people right now and have shortcomings. You should rather focus on IEO. Getting your IEO conducted on an exchange would help a lot with quick access to funds and marketing. ICO will not facilitate you in that scenario. Crypto startups go for IEO to be successful in the long run.
When we are satisfied with some good ICOs and there would be some big discounts for early contribution then we may go for that particular ICO alone. For this we may have some reserve fund allocation and that should be less than 20% by considering how hard ICO scams in recent past.
There are lots of focus already on IEO platform and projects, but it comes with so many conditions that are making it difficult for people to get in.
First, for project developers, IEO is quite expensive as they have to pay for listing and not many of them are ready for the cost till after ICO, the only reason why some of the ones that has participated have been successful is because we still have limited projects and the number of people who are willing to participate are so much greater than what the project can supply, so they are able to sell quickly, but once IEO becomes rampant now, they will be so much delay too in meeting up.
The last thing I also don’t like about IEO right now, although o know it’s because of the limited project we have, so many investors don’t get to be a part before it ended, so what would they do in that scenario, they wait till 10 or 20 years before they invest?
