Is it a trend now? There is SO SO MUCH ICO with real estate recently

Previously we start with a trend of online casino ICO like Dao.casino, edgeless, wagerr, Etheroll

Follow by Card payment System like Tokencard, Monaco, Tenx

Then follow by ICO with strong technology like CIVIC, EOS, BANCOR, BAT


Is there a specific trend of ICO launching follow by a similar pattern?

Its because crowdfunded real estate investment is one of the largest growing markets. Implementing blockchain within this has many benefits. Reasearch it, I think its a great idea.

It could be a pattern I mean who knows right? Whatever is trending usually one will follow and that's how I see the pattern of these ICO's lately. It's just my own point of view but yes I've noticed this too.

It's just a bunch of people entering the market at the same time, it's really wild wild west right now and anyone can become a market leader if their idea takes off - it's like who can get the Gold first type situation

They copy each other when they see there's a demand. The whole purpose of ICO is funding money, if the idea makes money then everybody try to get their cut. It's like fashion I agree, but only the best ones survive in this jungle.

Everybody is just making ICOs because they want quick easy money.

Crypto world really need real estate ico. There are many real estate ico but i only see the good and real real estate ico is atlant. It is really good. My moto now : " i see vitalik in some ico picture, i buy the token "

Any other opinion ?

They just launch what they think investors will be eager to buy, and has a nice "story" on which to hang their coin.

A few years back (an eon in bitcoin years), country coins were all the rage: aurora coin (for iceland), mazacoin (for native americans) and so on. Most just pumped and then dumped. Some lingered on for a couple of years before dying.

That's just the way things are in the cryptocurrency world. Be careful out there - with most of these launches, only the developers receiving the funds in the ICO's (or doing the premine in the old days) make money.

If you see the aventus project and it seems the ticketing platform will be the main stream innovation as fast as possible, and i will believe about that. aventus sold all of their token below 10 minutes. and that was really fast.

A real estate ICO doesn't make sense. Real estate is a big market, the ICO will have no impact on the price. Crowdfunded real estate makes much more sense, and you get protections at least. I've tried it and got 10%/year (before taxes) return, not bad for a relatively safe investment. I got out to buy BTC though.

I struggle with crypto in the real estate space.  I have a hard time seeing how crypto is going to interface with the very hands on space of real estate outside of the airbnb type model.  I have rentals and do land deals for a living.  From buying property - negotiating a deal, reading through title reports and identifying all the entitlement issues, city/county processes, through construction, to screening tenants and ongoing maintenance.  I don't really see any benefit to blockchain.  Maybe I am missing something.  Please key me in, I own a fair amount of different coins with different target markets and am genuinely interested in the future of the crypto and real estate space.  My tenants range dramatically in technology skill set.  Most just send a check to my PO box every month.  I am very flexible with online payments and most aren't interested.  For me, the profit margins are pretty good, but alot of benefit is tax advantaged nature of rentals or rolling up into more units through a 1031 exchange.  The basic cash on cash return isn't in-line with expected crypto returns (unless you hit a hot market that runs up rental rates and have high leverage).  If you lever the snot out of the property you can juice your IRR, but that isn't a risk I am willing to take on an individual level, maybe on a "crowdfunded" philosophy the downside is more tolerable.

and we dont have what they will do after ICO

Real estate has been the talk of town for many years. Was it that book Rich Dad Poor Dad and all that nonsense. Everyone bought property to rent or sale, and then the realty burst happened - this was the real big bubble. So I guess people just want now unlimited funds to buy up even more land and property. To keep the very high prices go even higher. A real winner, I guess. since over time, you can't seem to lose with real estate.

I think the fact that the property market is growing again and the blockchain technology it will be useful to confirm transactions that would not be fraud with apartments.
