Title: ICO, IEO, IDO, Which one did you get more profit from?
Post by: vs2014 on January 04, 2024, 09:58:59 AM
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

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

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

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.

So many new coins are popping up now that it's hard for people to find coins that are really good and most of the new coins now are a lot of fraud... I've always liked ICOs because there are lots of companies and everyone who likes ICOs and many people even use them so ICOs are growing. in the present and in the future, and also ICO provides a lot of profits from new projects appearing and they make their first sales at affordable prices so that when the coin is listed on the exchange the price will increase many times.

Personally i don't like ICOs cause such projects can scam people easily. Still more than hundreds of ICO altcoins are dying in my wallet with no value. Even IDO also has same problem like ICOs, there are many inner politics is included. So technically IEOs are best but I made more profit from ICOs during 2017 bull session. That time many tokens helped me to multiple my capital

ICO and IEO have their own risks, which have the potential to provide a lot of profit when these two projects are successful. It seems that currently there are no more ICOs, while IEO may still be taking place for several new projects. At least you have already made a profit from an ICO, which is enough to be a very important experience.

If we base it on experience, for I got more profit when I joined before in ICOs, I will never forget these times in 2017, when I really earned around 39 000 dollars more. And knowing if I will experience it again, this bull run that is coming will be more than that amount.

Of course, at the time of 2017, my knowledge of cryptocurrency was still a bit raw, but this time I feel the triple or more blessings of the upcoming bull run, to be honest. And I saw many opportunities to hold altcoins that have real potential in the market.

Are you saying you participated in ICOs to get that number of profits, or are you referring to bounty hunting which was quite popular then? I also remember making a bunch of profits from random airdrops in 2017, most of those projects are now dead though.

I don't participate much in IEO/IDO time, so I can't really say they are better compared to ICO. I can at least say that the risk is not as big, assuming you want to trust the exchange/launchpad platform where the sale takes place. At the same time, all of them are risky and should not be your main goal if you want to get tokens nowadays, since most new projects got their funding from VC and will likely airdrop their tokens for early adopters.

Usually IEO/IDO will trend for a moment, and when the product has started running, the developer will gradually close the product they have until it feels like they have no selling price, even though the office or developer is still circulating. But all cryptocurrency price movements depend on demand in the world, when the demand and increasing usage will provide a high exchange rate.

I don't engage in financial activities, but historically, ICOs were popular in 2017, followed by IEOs and IDOs. Each has its advantages and risks, and preferences vary. It's crucial to research thoroughly and assess the legitimacy of projects before participating in any token sale.

2017 is a great year for ICOs and new ideas for the crypto market, although many projects have died, their ideas are being implemented by new projects, such as AI, Defi, GameFi, SoFi.

Everything is developing in a better and safer direction, IDO and IEO are better alternatives than ICO. Currently CEX's reputation is very good and their IEOs are often projects with strong teams, reasonable Tokenomics and enough capital to operate for many years.
