Hello guy,

here is an article you might be interested in: https://icoguide.com/en/blog/ico-regulations-icos-and-their-impending-containment

share your opinions on ICO regulations, do you think that ICOs should be more regulated or on the contrary governments should be more liberal?

Ok interesting, I think ICOs should be somehow regulated of course to avoid a lot of loses for people, but they should not be restricted, as it is future of digital world for me.

It's only need regulation but I think that the fact there will be strict regulation to the icos. That will give a huge impact to the investors because with the regulation of icos and investors will need to complete and follow all of the regulations. it's good but at the same time that will give a lot of restriction to the ico itself. But it's not so good as government's expectation. But I think that ico should get a basic regulation. I will disagree if ico will be restricted by the government itself.

As an ordinary investor, of course ico is regulated!

This can avoid some fraudulent ico projects!

Get more money into the really marketable ico!

Yes totally agree, without regulations it will be high risk of loses.

ICO must be regulated for sure. I can't see any reason why it should not be regulated. This is very serious things, billions of dollars have been raised.

Many ICOs recently have been found scamming people and some of them are even busted in very early stages. but the trend is on a rising spiral ever since the cryptomarkets have rocketed last year. With these increased Mcap, lot of money is involved.  With money comes the scamsters. So I agree that we need a regulation on ICOs but the basic fact remains unchnaged that crypto world came into existence on the basic premise of deregulation and anonymity!!

And by regulating it within the existing governance framework, we are probably diluting their purpose. in my opinion, all we need is a decntralized regulatory authority, something which builds trust among masses but still free from current governmental controls .

the day is not far..it shall happen certainly.

I like your blog very much, and web also, there are always interesting articles. respect.

To be honest, I have no problem on governments trying to regulate ICOs. Because based on the past, some ICOs are really trying to scam people and because it is unregulated, investors became victims. Regulation would also help crypto as it will become legit and safe especially for the curious and doubtful ones.

Ico should be regulated to avoid scams, money doesn't grow on trees. We should be sure that our money is safe with this ICO's. It will also help us lessen our choices, right now its really hard to choose what's the best ico to invest.

I personally think regulation is needed in the space now when one look at it very careful, investors are not protected in any form, just a useless tokens that have no usecase and no share of the project but my concern is that with regulations coming small investors won't be able to get a direct access to some of these good project and will only need to scrap for profit

People are really scared to just fail on something that is why they need to enforce regulation. Just let it be what it be instead of regulating it.

Yes I have same thoughts.

Yes ICO should be regulated for sure to save hard money of small investors. As we can see now a days many and many ICO coming every day to collect some fund. And some innocent and small investors who have not much knowledge about this crypto will be attracted in that project and invest their money hopping for good return but after some time they realize they have lose their money. So it should be a world wide regulation for new ICO to prevent investors hard earned money.

I think these two options will also be good for ICO itself, the more tightly ICO it will also participate ICO ICO is not good even to SCAM,

ICOs should be regulated and controlled. the rate at which they are cropping up threatens the stability of the crypto market. The fact that some of them turn out to be scams also make it difficult for new investors to trust crypto.only ICO which will ad value to the market should be allowed to launch

This whole issue started from scammers and then started from investors who are not smart and keep ending as a victim of these scammers. It is becoming appalling at some point at the way people complain and I just keep imagining that how on earth would anyone have fallen for such.

Regulation will obviously change a lot of things and then at least help those set of people in their investments as that would obviously send the scammers packing, but it will start being a tough environment to enter for small players.

agree with this opinion, the things governed by the government can be easily trusted by investors because they have felt that it is legal.

Apparently, regulations are always strict and if you cannot stick with it as a company running an ICO, that makes you illegitimate. The advantage is that it is going to end up cleaning the ICO space and we will obviously get to see a space that is totally and no longer palatable for scammers to carry out their operations, which is not bad for those who have been so lazy doing research on their own.

However, this should be more like a goodbye to the smaller investors as we will start getting to see bigger investors entering the show, and we know what that means.

I think the ICO market should be standardized, because too many fraud projects, these projects are no value, there is a hype, so need regulations to restrict, this is my personal point of view.

Government should use Google to regulate ICO adverts.this will make the cryto community more healthy for every one and newcomers.ICO have scam so much people.if not regulated the cryto community will turn to a den of online criminals.

A regulated and healthy environments is definitely good for the ICO in the long term as it will rule out the scammers and cheating projects and let the really valued ones thrive and protect the interests of the investors at large.

I did not read the link you provided.
but ico there must be a regulation in it. for the prevention of potentially ico on a scam. This is for investors' security. and I agree if there is a law under all ico.

Yes, maybe regulations will help to develop the ICO market and reduce the number of scams.

I just think, if the rules are burdensome investors will definitely affect the ICO and affect the rise of digital assets that are growing. And regulations must be established so that people who want to participate in ICO get a guarantee.

I'm against those kind of regulations. Regulations mean KYC, collecting more and more personal info, restrictions, etc. This is not crypto.

I like the idea of Wild West + using your common sense to catch scams.

I do not even expect the government to keep quiet in an environment where a lot of money is being raised globally and by lot, a whole lot of it and the fact that regulating it will benefit the governments. Additionally, considering the fact that scam has been a norm of the day for ICOs, it is high time they started packing their loads and counting their days.

I believe with these developments, things should turn out fine for the ICO space in the long run, which places more advantage to it than disadvantages.

Firstly, we cannot even escape regulation anyway, and I always feel that regulation will actually usher in more big investors and at the end we may start seeing ICO not playing out for the smaller investors in the long run. It has gotten to the point where ICOs need to be regulated but at the same time and expecting government to be liberal about an unregulated environment with scammers spoiling the whole show, we would be asking for too much.

ICO is now a lot of scam, money that has been invested taken away, I agree that ICO should be set to avoid scam. money must be saved from hungry swindlers with money.

That is the main intention anyway asides from the fact that the government is going to be benefiting a lot from it as well, but it is high time we got to know where we are headed and regulation will definitely help with that. At least one thing with regulation is that it is going to reduce all these FUDs, people will start getting to invest in what they really believe will fly in the long run and not get scared of a project turning into scam and that is a good way to start.

Based on my experience ico should be regulated. I found lots of scam project or lots of greedy people coming up with raising funds with unrealistic concept without any concern on proble m solving for the issue. Ico are becoming greedy tool . I think regulating ico will attract more investors confidence.

The ICO has long had to be regulated in order to protect the interests of investors from fraudulent projects. This problem has long overdone and will require the intervention of government agencies or independent regulators. Fraudulent projects are too much harm to investors and other persons involved in the ICO, as well as to the image of the whole of the crypto currency.

In my opinion only The ICO project owner all data and its original company must be registered and regularize. In this way the investor interest and trust will increase and ICO will get huge investment.

The regulation is needed because to avoid any scam but right now there so many bad ico and your right its really hard to choose , what we ganns do???

Even though to avoid lot of loses for people, but for now there so many also ico that bad project, and its hard to choose if this is good or bad so we need to make research to know and to avoid .

I think ICOs should be more regulated because anyone can start an ICO process and collect millions of dollars then disappear with the money. There are examples of that, so there should be some rules and regulations to start an ICO to avoid scammers.

If I think any country that makes ICO there must be a clear regulation of the country it aims to minimize the deceptive ICO, with the possibility that with the regulation ICO will become more premium and we will be more confident to enliven the development of ICO project by investing in inside.

Yeah if they really want to make legal business they must be registered but since this is a decentralized market most of the ICO's are not doing it and some of those are just scams. Regulation on this can have an advantage because many investors will come confidently and invest their money on a project they trust for.  

Regulation of ICO will make scam not so easy as it is now and I think that the quality of ICO projects will improve. Perhaps now it will be more difficult to invest anonymously, but regulation will make market more transparent.
