Its an important issue you've raised. Crypto is a new economic frontier and there had been new experiments every time.
But with IEO, failure of them would also affect the exchanges, their credibility and trust. Though exchanges do make sure to state they are not involved and risk remains about investment, people would not view it as so.
Exactly..From last year till this year exchanges looked like the only thing that was working In crypto..With some becoming highly reputable and attracting interest from all over the world. I just hope this trend won't end badly with scammers infiltrating the IEO system as a result of these exchange not doing enough to safeguard the interest of IEO participants both during and after the sales event..
I think majority of you guys speaking bad about IEO are only doing so because u failed to buy. There is nothing wrong with IEO and this mechanisms of fund raiser has come to stay.
