Once a man, twice a child!

Quote from: bithuner on April 12, 2019, 08:58:23 AM

So recently I cam across this article in regards to Germany's first STO backed by the German financial regulation authority called Bitbond. What do you think about the evolution of ICOs? Do you see it as a positive or a negative?

I would love to hear what you think about it, would you rather invest into an ICO or and STO?

Next time OP you may want to identify the meaning of the key words so that laymen reading your post would know what the subject is all about. But let me speedily define those key words:

STO - Security Token Offering.
ICO - Initial Coin Offering (ICO)

That done.

My take on this is simple and that is never to invest in an ICO. Never, again! Except where the ICO project has an already existing product or services. I had been scammed in the past engaging with in ICOs and now I am wiser for it.

STOs haven't blown up as everyone expected, but there is still time.

I still think that ICOs rule the market as yes they are unregulated, but they offer the chance for huge gains in the right project. This project does look interesting though as it has a very big team, already raised over 2 million USD and is backed by a financial organisation.

I will keep an eye on how the STO goes, if it is very successful it could be the blueprint to other STOs.

Crypto currency is evolving on a daily basis, it has evloved from the normal ICo and this is the period of STO. With SEC rules it will be better to participate in STO since STO are built on legal grounds and have all the legal requirements

For security purpose, it is better to invest in STO projects than ICO, at least we are guaranteed fully that it is not a scammed project but I have gone through the site the author posted and realize that STO projects offer and profit in the long run might not be mouthwatering as that of an ICO, the percentage being offer is fixed and is very little for one to really commit funds in it for that long, except maybe there is a better understanding of STO than what I am seeing here, if this is what STO can offer, I would rather take my time to look for ICO project that I am very sure will not scam me and participate in it than STO.

There is no fight at all at the moment. The majority of investors have switched to IEOs, because they are giving much more profit than any other form of a token sale. STOs are raising their money pretty slow and ICOs are out of order right now.

More and more projects will be looking to start STO rather than ICO - too much advantages, if you really want to work on your product, also there will be more capabilities in terms of raising more money from people.

maybe you are right
but, i still believe if "history repeat itself",, i'm sure ICO market will be green again
and as i know a lot of good ICO project failed because the project coming in the wrong time,, wich mean red market,,
remember ICO and STO have the same goal, right ?

Many investors has lost their trust in ICOs as they are not regulated and lot of scam ICOs fooled investors.
They played an important role in 2017 boom but after that it seems ICOs are outdated. The ne model is IEO.
STOs are much more secured and regulated investment opportunities that are backed by something tangiblelike the assets, profits, or revenue of the company.

I see now there are projects that carry out ICO and STO. It seems that STO is indeed highly favored and not all projects can do STO. Because STO is where the Project makes a sale but the project has already been formed and the product already exists. Certainly very different from ICO. ICO only gives Sales to build projects that they want to build in the future. If there is a mistake, please correct.

Of course not all project can do STO this is because 90% of project launching ICO is either using fake teams all do not have legal documentations regarding their project. I believe some serious project dev are getting wise now and they are creating avenue in which people will be able to see the differently in term of the perspectives of the already existing ICO as its term fraudulent and full of hungry scammers

STO is still a new development in the digital currency sector which is backed by law and legal documents and framework which they operate within and monitored by a body set up by the government and at that are transparent to the investors with guidelines and term's on like the normal ICO we use to know which does not have any legal backing and are just out to raise found for they project and which in most cases failed to meet up with their objectives and can lead to investors losing part or all of they money in the process.

To a greater degree, I think that there is no point in arguing about this or that process. I believe that both processes in general have one goal, which today is fundraising. STO is the same process as ICO.

Both have the same goal = fund raising. But they are different tokens, and totally different regulatory processes.

STOs are much more stable I think, but this fact affects the power of these coins pumps - they are not as volatile as ICO tokens pumps are. The other feature is STO listings - it's much more complicated to list a security token than utility one.

Well I would obviously pick STOs over ICOs, based on what I know STOs are a existing business that wants to tokenize their property/assets/business and that is all backed by legal documents while ICOs are mostly startup projects that only have ideas on their whitepaper.

i still don't get why some people think there is a difference between these things just because their names are different. the fact is that all of them are the same no matter what combination of 3 letters they choose and what other things they promise. whether they are called "security" or if they are run by some "exchange" or whatever else they may come up with in the future, in the end they are all the same at heart. they raise funds and do nothing and that is called scam.

Advantages of ICO:
Decentralization
Low state regulation (advantage for small independent investors)
Ease of investment (there is no minimum investment value)

Advantages of STO:
Rights over company profits as well as dividends
Increased security
Regulated by the SEC (advantage only for large investors in the traditional market)

Leave your opinion, and feel free to add advantages and disadvantages to each model.

STO gives more security and rights to the investor, at the same time it is also more bureaucratic and requires high investments. The great advantage of the ICOs is precisely the low state regulation and the ease of investment by small investors.
In short, STO is great for big investors, and lousy for small investors.

why must choose between that 2 if IEO is the way better, or if you want more gambling, join SAFT crowd funding system, but at least your money have guarantee back if the project failed, try looking Atronocom SAFT event sale.

I would prefer IEO compared to STO or ICO, because at this time STO and ICO the chances of success are very small because most investors are tired of facing STO and ICO, investors prefer to invest in the IEO now

STO is a far better option.. Not just because of the presence of regulatory compliance, but rather due to the accruing of dividends and voting rights.. One just have to pick the right STO with a product that can yield massive returns based on products not exchange listing
