I am sure that this year the crypto market will not only recover, but will also be able to present us with an opportunity to earn. In 2017 and 2018, ICO were very popular - this is when new projects themselves raised funds, and then were placed on exchanges and brought (or did not bring) profit to their investors. In 2019, IEO became popular - this is when new projects entered into agreements with exchanges that raised funds and subsequently opened trading pairs with the coins of these projects.
All the people who started investing at the time of the popularity of ICO and IEO were able to earn good money.
What do you think will be the new "Initial offering" method this year?
It seems to me that this year nothing new will be invented and towards the end of the summer new IEO's will gain popularity.
If there will be something new, then it will no longer be IEO but will have another name given to it.
Also, what makes you think that the market is not likely to recover this year. The main factor I am considering is how fast te CoronaVirus issue is resolved. If it comes fast, then the market would recover fast. If it doesn't, anything can happen. However, I believe investing now that the prices of most cryptocurrencies are low, will be a good decision.
