ICO, IEO, IDO, Which one did you get more profit from?

[vs2014]

My short discussion is that the most profitable trend among them was ico and it alone brought new projects to the crypto market with 2017 and it was very popular with everyone. But then the IEO started and when the amount of scam projects increased again the IDO started again. However which one do you prefer?

For me, ICO, IEO and IDO are all ways for new projects to sell their tokens, they differ only in safety and where they do it. Profits from investing in a new project depend on the project itself, not the token sale.

1. In 2017-2018, ICOs were very popular, hundreds of projects launched their own token sales: they received crypto from investors (BTC, ETH) and sent tokens to investor's address. This event is not guaranteed by anyone so risk is very high, many projects are actually just a way for scammers to make money.

2. 2020-2022: CEXs have become bigger, new projects have come and opened token sales, we have letter E = Exchange in IEO. Project information (team, solution, tokenomics) is audited by CEX's team of experts. IEOs on Binance Launchpad have been very successful.

3. At the same time, many decentralized Launchpad platforms were also born, and we have letter D in IDO. The most prominent is CoinList. For me, IDO is less safe than IEO because Launchpads can make a mistake and list the IDO of a poor quality project.

The recent IDO of UP token ( built on TON ) was my most successful one. Still getting good profit from it's trading on exchange as its trade is so volatile.

But are ICOs, IEOs, IDOs profitable in the current era? Isn't their trend now dead and there isn't much interest in fundraising?

What I know is that projects now have successful initial funding of millions of dollars thanks to partners and vendors who invested early, but these are large companies, whereas projects that hold fundraising as you mentioned are rarely successful and often even fail.

What is still good is that the profits from Lauchpad/pool on Binance every time a new project comes here will definitely benefit investors.

To be honest, I didn't choose either one. I don't think it's profitable right now. Moreover, many projects do not develop and even rugpull after making sales. I prefer to invest when it is listed on a large market
Because if I want to join, I need to analyze in depth which projects have good prospects before making a choice

[Ambatman]

In the short term i would pick IEO especially one launched on Binance,while in the long term none. They usually create a new ATH then fall by around 90%.Seeing a good ico now is rare and Dex usually accept token sales without tgorough imvestigations like cex.

When they accept token sales without any investigation, it will provide an opportunity for crime to occur and pose a very high risk for investors. Currently, the Binance exchange has started to provide information about token sales that can help traders buy or participate in the collection funds owned by the Binance exchange and aimed at providing security for investors.

Everyone has own method to gain profit.
There are those who buy after really doing research, after being sure, then investing.  There are those who play by purchasing at the start of the project.  Such as during ICO, IEO, IDO according to each era.  Actually, the most profitable thing is to buy at the start of the project, but of course with greater risk.

Well, honestly speaking, the first time I earned a lot in cryptocurrency was during 2017 in the ICO project campaigns. I earned around 23k$ something this time, and of course I will never forget it.

But in this era, it is no longer easy to get a profit like it was in 2017, because the time is different now and every time there is a change in our technology, and that is what happened. But with the IDOs, IEOs, and IPOs, I have never experienced making money there properly.

As a matter of facts, the most profitable sources of raising funds then was ICOs but currently, I doubt ICOs are any longer profitable. Firstly, many ICOd this days that were successful no longer list coin/token above ICOs prices and token the distributions are carried out in small percentage that you can hardly make profit when coin is listed. Again, I think ICOs are not profitable, though there are many that are characterised with scams, and many ICO processes has become unclear to investors.
Further more, I think that IEOs are more profitable in all fund raising processes especially on the bigger CEX exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, Bybit  IEOs etc.

I completely agree with you. In terms of profit, ICOs in 2017 and the first half of 2018 were the most profitable for bounty hunters. Even an ordinary Member in almost any project could earn several thousand dollars back then. Now the situation has changed much for the worse. Advertising of new projects has shifted to social networks, and only a couple of thousand dollars are allocated for rare subscription campaigns.

Exactly ICO as at then was the best and fastest way to make money. But now most are just scam projects to rob investors of their money. The past glory of ICO's has made many people fall victim of such scam. I'm not saying good ico doesn't or won't exist, but majority now are scams or won't yield impressive figures. Well if you investing in any project, thorough investigation should be taken. DYOR never trust any blog posting tokens with potential for large returns

I would not take such a big risk
in my opinion, it could cause huge losses. It's like we're playing gambling. but if you have tips and tricks for choosing good and potential ICO, IEO, or IDO projects, you can share your experiences here

[Jaephoenix]

It depends. There is no hard and fast rules in crypto as far as I can tell, and I have been in this neophytic and volatile industry for 8 years. You can easily get a pumped up project in an IEO or get dumped in an IDO. But my latest success, that being said, is on an IDO. Actually 2 IDOs on VVS and Pancakswap. Both netting good profits

[JahriMeayer]

ICO, IEO and IDO all of those are just a systematic ways of token sale. ICO was one of that systematic way where a project offer their tokensale and then promise to listed. First time everything was good but then project started breaking their promise and start scamming people. And when ICO get polluted by scammers, then another new system came to live which was IEO where team already list their token in exchanges. Now IDO is getting popular where a team sale their project from launchpad of exchanges or there are many IDO platform. But ICO, IDO doesn't guarantee anything, where IEO is ahead of those system IMHO.
