I see that many companies are moving their ICO, because they do not get enough money from investors. This holidays affect the bad fundraising or projects are really fraudulent.
Will they collect the right amount after the holidays? How you think
         

I would say that bigger problem for them is the current market pullback then a week long holliday,at least with hollidays you know when they will end ;D Who ever want to invest in icos can do it in a few minutes and has set that money aside for it so hollidays wont change anything

This is interesting question. I don’t think that on holidays amount of money collected is any higher. On the contrary the impact of holidays could be in less money stack. But what is statistic says about it

If nothing else, the Christmas present funds might eat into the ICO investment fund  ;)

Which ICO have to move the sale date is unstable project, seem good ico will raise enough amount even in holiday, 3 AM, ....

Holiday will definitely impact on the spare money available for ICO! The enthusiasm for investment at this period will generally wane. However, cryptocurrency and quality ICO is no respecter of season, Quality ICO will always attract smart money. The question here is are you participation in quality ICO?

Seems so. The similar happens with securities issued on long festivals.
People tend to spend larger on those times and are more willing to redeem than to invest.

i think holidays not pure the reason...
the main reason i think about team, system and investor.

In my opinion and based on the facts. I think holidays has an effect to the price for example is christmas, people demand for money to do a purchase for gifts, decorations, electricity bill, and many more. thus, the supply could come from ICOs where this could affect its price and I think the outcome of the launched ICO could also be affected by this example because when the ICO has started during holidays where the demand for money is high it might cause the ICO to lessen its value. People or investors would be choosing either to invest or to buy gifts which lessen the probability of the ICO to be bought since the gift is seasonal and can only happen once a year.

I think that really good projects can't afford to change any aspect of the crowdsale without very reasonable reasons like cryptokitties release and the ETH network stucking.

there might be. but ico have some long period and i do believe people who love to invest would spare their time to invest even its a holiday. so its do affect the value but not so extent

Yes ofcourse,many people needs to cashout for christmas like big investors because they would spent it in their christmas vacation.

Holidays didn't give any impact to the ico. The possible thing about the investors are feeling scared to invest their money in the ico but remember those are buying a lot of the coin that has been listed in the market get a lot of return just in a day. how people are crazy rushing in ico soon.

I would say it could have an impact as more people will be spending time with their friends and family. I would just not launch it on a holiday. it is okay if it crosses over, but avoid it if you can.

possibly most of the ico investors got scared in recent movement of btc.

Yes, i know a lot of ico's who started their ICO stage on December 20th, like Envion, and they couldn't raise much more money than what they raised on the pre ico, it was not bad, but the money is not increasing and we know that it is because everybody is out because of the holidays.

I do believe it will have an impact, but not a huge one as they are usually spread over a few weeks.

No it's not. I think it is how the people would give a damn attention about those icos. If the Ico is really sensible and good, then no matter the time is it, if people like the concept then it will the start of that ico.

I think that there is a small effect of the holidays, it can be seen from the fees that were received by ICO in December, there are many statistics on this matter

Yes, of course, there are a lot of icos that were going to be released during this week but they didn't raise much more money because of the holidays, the same happened everytime that there is a big event on bitcoin (as an example, a huge rise, or a huge rise of ethereum too)

I do believe it will have some impact, but not a massive one as most ICO's are running for at least a month. I wouldn't advise launching on Christmas or New Years and just wait till January,

Yes morelikely it will affect the holidays,people are cashing out and will take their money out of the exchanges.

I think they would have a small part to play, I would advise to avoid them if possible.

This issue is really going on very well, and the cause is really clear. ICO is booming, many ICOs are developed only in a short time, can say, this is the era of ICO. Too many projects have been created, but the number of investors is negligible, so the projects that are not attractive enough will not receive the investment from the investors.

Investors will use their money in holidays so yes it will affect the ICOs.

I dont really know what happen to most people with their holiday. I think the holiday like now christmas and new year are big event then it can affect to ico project crowdsale. Maybe they will get less money in ico period.
I think better for them to do ico not in holiday.

The main thing that affects them is the market-wide price swings, like the late summer one and maybe also the one this week. Holidays might have an effect, but not so much as the dramatic crypto price movements.

Yeah, I think many people are not up to ICOs. They drink, have fun, spend the time with their family and friends

Some icos have extended the period throughout Christmas and into Q1 of 2018. This will ensure that investors will have picked up the long awaited January pay check and have some money to invest in an ICO. Hopefully that ICO will help to recover their finances from the xmas overspend ;D

Its completely depend on the project lots of projects still running their ICO some are postponed Main reason is bitcoin price correction another people are taking holidays after years of effort . After January second there should be some business starts.

I do think it has an affect also this time of year I imagine isn't the best for investments anyways.

You can't control the market and how the prices change, but you can choose a time where there is no holidays, so make it easier to be more successful. No need to make it harder!

I think they have a small impact, if you can avoid launching an ICO around this time of year. I think this time of year impacts all industries of course sometimes in positive ways rather than negative.

I think they would have an impact I just don't know which way it would go.

I would just avoid it as much as possible, it is hard enough to judge the crypto market prices of ETH / bitcoin without having to think about holidays. it would also depend on where most of your investments are coming from (Russians don't celebrate Christmas, but have more time off after New Years for example.)

I think not. It is how the investors and the bounties will approach the ico. More campaigns, more chances that the ico will be notice by the people.

If the project really has value, then the vacation will not prevent the collection of the required amount. Successful campaigns collected the necessary amounts for 2 weeks. IMHO

I would just avoid holidays all together if possible.

People are only considering the ICO, but what about the boarder context? Maybe ETH price drops or increases, never mind if people are not looking into more ICOs. If you can't avoid it, then just deal with it, but I would try to hold the ICO in a month that doesn't have too many big holidays.

I dont think it matters too much if they ICO launches pre holidays, it's all based on the investor himself if he wants to invest or not, and how much they are willing to invest.

people even can invest more during the holidays if they are going to pay by cryptocoins. Because they have more free time to spend on internet and they can search more about icos. So i dont think they will collect more after holidays.

Yes i think it is,when holidays like christmas and newyear comes all of the people needs to cashout for their pockets.

I think it does have an impact, not just in people less likely to invest because they are busy, but also you have to take into consideration that maybe ETH goes down as well.

I would just avoid running an ICO round the time of a big holiday.

Lot of peopl sitting at home in front of their computers and scrolling through the forum. They spend much more time on that forum and yes they're more likely to buy some tokens and go on more active on the trades. My point of view.

I don't think that holidays have any major impact on ICOs. What DOES have an impact is the fact that there are too many projects running an ICO right now which makes it difficult for people to check them all - and I guess this is the reason why ICOs get prolonged now, to give to the investors more time to find them.
