We are now in an era of IEO, where a lot of investors and traders are looking forward to participating in different IEOs in order to make their profit.
Just as much as we have seen a lot of them succeeded, does not mean it is a totally scam free means of token sale or marketing. Why because, there are some newly lunched exchanges, that have not spent so much time in the crypto space, yet are aspiring and already making moves to conduct IEO.
If you seriously desire to take part in IEO, which is a good move, either as a newbie and as an expert in trading and investment, limit yourself to exchanges that you trust, most especially those you have been using right from time or the top exchanges in the crypto space.
This is not an investment advise, but a warning to safeguard your assets.
In my own observation, whether it is IEO or ICO, it doesnt matter, there is no guarantee if the project is IEO, if the developer would stop, it will stop everything, its just a matter of understand and mental awareness as well. The only good side of IEO is that, possible investors are at a high percentage, and it will come out as a successful IEO.
