Since so many ICOs seem to be getting done privately by big institutions investors where the public needs to have connections to get in to a large minimum investment (Eg. 100 ETH+)...


Do you think Public Pre-Sales (e.g. minimum 100 ETH) or Pre-Sale Pools will even exist in 2 years?

Of course, the ICO will exist in 2020. Currently, the cryptocurrency market is growing and the market is gradually turning green. At the same time, the ICO projects of investors more and more. Therefore, the ICO projects are growing stronger over time. And by 2020 there will be many potential ICO projects and more developments.

We can't know what will happen in 2020. It's too hard to say if ICO is still alive in 2020, or not. But how to say, maybe in 2020, we will see something like ICO running, but not an ICO, it run with another name, but the same nature with ICO.

Well theres possibility that it will survive as long many people get link to Cryptocurrencies or get a knowledge about it many ICO will be create and much more, theres a many project that havent applying a blockchain yet that why its possible to meet it to 2020.  in whole world many people dont have a knowledge about crypto. but every year the investor is increasing, much more when in 2020 the possibility of creating an ICO or existing ICO to survive has a higher chance.

Yes, I believe ico will still exist after 2020, but it will not be as chaotic as now, but there will be a special department or agency to supervise ico's issuance.
Of course, it may not exist, but the probability of this situation is relatively small.

For me, ICO system would still operates and survive as long as cryptocurrency business still exist. Because ICO is now strongly belong to the line of cryptocurrency business, and without ICO the crypto business would be something lacking.

I am hoping that ICO's will be able to survive this year. As we all know, there are a lot of struggles this month and from what I have heard of, there are ICO's who postponed their presale because of the current situation of the market. Lets hope that April and May will be the time for bitcoin to recover. A lot of investors are playing the waiting game and trying to play safe, they are cautious on investing on btc for now. Maybe it will change this month.

Very unlikely that we'll be seeing ICOs in 2020 as there will be projects based on anything and everything while there won't be any ideas left. Seeing private pre-sales attracting a lot of big investors, the failure of that project will see them never coming back to invest in cryptos and the numbers will keep going down. Ultimately, it depends on the idea and how they attract investors with planned returns to sustain the future of fund raising through ICO.

ICOs will likely exist in 2020 but maybe with a different philosophy and more features to avoid scams and have ones with good ideas.

I think in the future ICOs will need a product before starting one!

I find it difficult, because there are still a lot of problems.
So when national laws are perfected, there will not be so many private sales.

IMHO it will be survive in the future, off course with couple of change to be more safe & comfort for the investor. the investor need some safe guarrante for their investment, and I think it is need more government interference to make more safest ICO environment.

I believe that the ICO will exist in 2020, but some processes will change.  Perhaps, for starters, projects will need to provide some supporting documents for their activities.  Investors will also choose projects more carefully.  And only those projects that have either a brilliant idea or a working product (at least partially) will survive.

Yes, I believe ico will still exist after 2020

Yeah sure, ICO will survive come 2020, but i think it will change because a lot smart contract blockchain will be available and stable by then there will be competition. So I believe i 2020, ICO investing will still exist but the way to invest will change

ICO will not go anywhere as long as it is not banned worldwide. It can have a regulation but it has a good effect in the ecosystem to avoid scams. It will exist as long as there is a good idea that could add and improve  our daily activities in life.  

i do believe it will survive. Cryptocurrency will be so big in 2020 and many company will use ICO method to fund money and they will start decentralized their company so i believe there will be many more ICO coming in 2020.

ICO will always available in market because every year some features and some innovative things are added in Blockchain technology so ICO will exist in 2020 but some changes are expecting the ICO and some private sector companies are creating the own platform so some regulation also possible in future.

of course ICO will still be there in the year 2020 if you realize in that year the digital currency is very common and many people are competing to create new projects that use the support of digital currency which means that many new ICO is created and make it all become all-round digital, so do not be afraid every year even until more than 2020 ICO will still exist. while for the minimum opinion they are targeting it depends on the condition of the price movement of the ethereum.

I am absolutely sure ICOs will continue to exist even beyond the year 2020 as long as these ICOs projects has a clear road mad and will impact positively to the investors or people who understood what the project is addressing in the social economic well being of the people.
For example, there are many cryptocurrencies out there with different features for different users. A brief look on few of the features includes
Bitcoin.
1.The largest and most well-known, this is the cryptocurrency that really kicked off the revolution. Its market cap (MC) is around 30B USD, and it has reached 350k transactions per day on busy days. The currency has an upper limit on the number of possible coins (21 million).

2.litecoin.
 This cryptocurrency’s main feature is that it is much faster to transact. Since each transaction takes so much calculation, BTC transactions take upwards of 10 minutes to confirm. This is not feasible for paying on-the-go. LTC gets the time down to about 2.5 minutes, though that is still much longer than the seconds it takes for credit cards or cash.

3.Etheruem
ETH is the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, sitting at about 8B USD. ETH was originally designed to be a platform and not really a cryptocurrency. The transaction time is on the order of 10–15 seconds for confirmation, which is a huge improvement. ETH are also released every year, so there is no hard upper limit of ETH like with other cryptocurrencies. This means that not all the coins are in the hands of early miners. Etc
There are many more cryptocurrencies with deference features that people get adopted to it uses on daily basis.

 

It depends in what will happen in the future because currently ICO is going down little by little because of ADS ban and some country ban ICO for the reason that there are much scams and fraud in ICOs lately however if we will see a good and successful ICO and the scams are lessen dramatically maybe we will see ICO be accepted worldwide with that ICO can survive very well.

I think ICO will survive in 2020 but with a new name because now there are some countries banned ICO's such as Rusia and China. So, probably there will be a new system or a new name for ICO's itself. Just wait for comes next in 2020 or so on. :)

Absolutely yes, even in 2020 you will see pre sales. The market is more efficient than venture capitals right now. This means even large/low players will get in! We will be ok, don't worry.

Good ICO's should stay because we need new ideas and more uses of this blockchain technology. I believe only those good ICO will survive though regulations on this maybe set more complicated but at least they still exist to do serious business here in cryptoworld.

I do not have an ico view in 2020 yet.
Maybe it will happen and maybe not.
We'll see in the next 2 years. Hope it works as expected

may or may be ico continue to move until the next year because all successful altcoin often starts from an ico but the most important issue is we have to be smart in choosing an ico.

I don't think that there is a reason to stop ICO and be not exist on that year. ICO is the chance of a team to introduce their project and convince investors to invest. Also it is not just to gather investors but to make their project known to the public. Private sale is only done as part of their strategy to make the project successful since investing on that way has a great favor for someone who can afford but never be the reason to stop the ICO. This is my own understanding and I am most willing if someone can tell me the accurate.

There is no certainty for bitcoin and by this time ico too is under the same scenario. We cannot predict what's the reality that's gonna happen in the future. In my personal thinking ico will survive, because different financial institutions have accepted the plan of tokens for transaction.

You want to only know about ICO or the market as a whole? I can assure you that market will survive till the end of the world. There is no reason to believe that market will end. What makes you think so? As long as market is there, ICO will also be there. So do not worry and invest happily. With so many big names entering this market, there can be no end to it.

the growth of ICO and its development is very good, so a lot of ICO is popping up. ICO's main problem today is media, if mdia continues to block ICO ads, it's hard for ICO to last longer. because social media is the main promotional media for ICO that will launch.

I think ICOs will not only survive but it's amount will rise. The platforms like MyWish (http://crowdsale.mywish.io/index.html/?utm_source=com&utm_medium=btV&utm_campaign=sc&utm_content=scholarsmoreico) are starting appearing that allow anyone create smart contracts for ICO without coding. So wait for more "great" start-ups from scholars.

Big names jumping into what could be the largest ICO yet and the possibility of billions of dollars of money raised may be a sign that coin offerings are becoming more mainstream and lucrative.ICO will exist more from 2020.

They will exist but they will be heavily regulated in the developed economies.
We are already seeing the start of this with the US applying existing securities laws.

Since crowdfunding is trending as of today, I would think ICOs are not going anywhere. For me, ICOs are the better version of crowdfunding because not only they give us access to their products, but also giving us digital tokens in return that would become a great store of value that would rely on the market today. However, not all ICOs are legitimate, so you should read their whitepaper, project concept, watch videos and check the team’s social media profiles to prove their legitimacy.

People will always need funding for projects and so far an ICO seems to be the best place to go, we will see more rules and stricter guidelines but I think the process of funding through an ICO will still be in place.

Yes it will be, as long as Bitcoin and the rest of altcoins are alive, ICO will still survive and who knows that one day, everything will be as good as what we are expecting would be. No one really knows what would happen in the future but we just have to stay positive that this will last forever.

ICO still alive on 2020. As long there are people patronize it will prosper behind 2020.
There are many meaningful ICO actually.

It depends on Eth rates in 2020))) but to be serious, i think that some icos have ruined the reputation of crowdfunding due to a lot of scam. So in some two years i think that there will appear some measures which can help the sides (a company and an investor) regulate their relationships and decrease risk level.

I think ICO will still continue to exist even after 2 years or 2020. There are lots of benefits that an ICO can provide both the devs behind it and the people investing in it. As we all know ICO or Initial Coin Offering is a great way to raise funds for developments of the new project that they are trying to promote or launch to the public. This is also one way of letting people be involve in their project to get their name out and be adopted to society easily.

In the investors part ICO is a very big help as well if you want to increase your money or get some profit from your investments through buying shares from the company doing the ICO. I know there are lots of scam ICOs but with the proper research and knowing the foundation or the big people backing up the project there's a better chance that you can profit if the ICO that you participated in will be successful.

Here's an article that will help you tell or detect if an ICO is a scam. https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/07/6-red-flags-of-an-ico-scam/
 

I'm not sure how to interpret the question. Are you asking if ICO as an investment tool will survive? Or will each individual ICO survive? I certainly don't think that all ICOs will survive or even make it to market, but I think the "ICO as an investment vehicle" will outlive the IPO.

It will survive even more. Look at how old the Bitcoin is already and it only getting more and more interest. Also there is a constantly increasing interest from investors and technology guys, as well as from all the ordinary people.

ICOs with minimum 100 ETH will still survive and maybe become trend in the future. If cryptomarket growing more faster, more money in crypto, peoples and investment institution will looking for prospective ICOs to investing their money.
