Bitcoin Forum

Where would ICOs be today without bitcointalk forum? What will they do if the forum shuts down for some odd reason?
From the posts I read (I stated before in a post, I am more of a reader than a poster, so pardon my mistakes), it seems that all ICOs are breathing bitcointalk.org.
It's probably one of the last active and alive forum in the world and the essence of all Initial Coin Offerings that are launching every day. They are way too many, and too many think they can raise tons of money to fund their ideas easily. As a matter of fact, this forum is the only real catapult for ICOs along with its community. The rest looks like a morning dense fog that tests your driving skills to the max... people(investors) get crashed a lot lately in the ICOs ERA driving through the foggy projects that kids invent every day to get some "lambo" cash.

So the big question, where will ICOs stand till 2020? 99% scam | 0.5% legit projects | 0.5% worthless legit projects; Will bitcointalk still alow ICOs to be posted/promoted/pumped in here?

This is a good observation. As a matter of fact, i have not seen any ICO lunched without passing through bitcointalk forum. Virtually every developer knows that this forum houses so millions of investors. Even developers who are yet to be registered here, still find their ways here or connect with someone who is already registered here in order to publicize their projects.

Until the ruling from the government, I won't be investing in ICOs.  And yes, bitcointalk is their lifeline.  ICOtalk isn't too popular.

I think icos would still survive

There are no impossible in this modern world and there can be no underestimation either
Which is why there is need to be optimistic always

I think the forum should find a way to regulate and fish out the fake icos from using the forum
Let’s be positive

I do not believe that bitcointalk is major opportunity for ICOs to let investors know about themself. Bounties do not bring that much hype like good rate on icodrops or review from Suppoman

You are right with your point. Bitcointalk might be a backbone to ICO now but nothing is impossible, the world is changing and innovative ideas through is going on. So ideas may come up that will provide an avenue of promoting ICOs and detect a scam one.

I think I share the opinion above that bitcointalk forum though was once a platform to get investors, it now has turned into a site for just money making by ICO promoting members.

Interestingly not many are concerned with the projects they are promoting and has now taken it as a earn n dump on DEX strategy

Don't worry too much about it. It won't be the end of the world. If a Pope dies, another one is going to be elected! As simple as that.
If bitcointalk won't be available for any reason tomorrow, next day there will be another forum or portal running exactly the same business.

Yes, that. I have monitored ICOs that chose to bypass Bitcoin talk and then didn't do that well — may not have been the only reason, but one of the glaring ones for sure.
Engaging with potential investors directly is vital, and the forum is one of the best places to do that, if not the best.

If it goes, something else will take its place, guaranteed.

A good question, perhaps would be another source on which they placed their ads and run ISO, well, in General, this is a genetic topic, immediately advertisers, Customers, etc., and all are United by one idea,this is the development of the market and making money,and everyone can work from anywhere in the world

It is difficult to imagine really, I think that if Bitcointalk did not exist, we would have to invent it. I have never had so much fun in any other forum I have participated in.

You have a point there because if one way closes, thousands open up for live to continue. It is certain as it stands now that cryptocurrency and blockchain has come to stay and no doubt that bitcointalk forum non the less, is a very big support for ico

I like ICOs, I like bitcointalk,.I like.technologies and I like bounties. All of these.aspects are related and.informstion about.all of them firstly appears on this.forum and only.after that on other crypto resources. I personally reviewing the.project by checking the ANN link on BTT to see who is the topic starter and how many replies are already posted in the threads. This is.very important for me.

I want to believe that the death of a thing might bring about the birth of another. If bitcointalk cease to exist, I believe that another forum will rise up for ICOs to be promoted. Other than that, Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, and other social media platforms can also be used to publicize these ICOs.

There are alot of investor does not know about this forum and how this forum work. Successfully of ICO is not totallly according to they make promotion in this forum or not. I think other thing that make investor interesting about ICO project is article and explanation about fundamental of that project. I think in next 10 year ICO still booming and can be become more popular when regulation come in to this market.

The forum has many advantages and disadvantages. But what is certain is that bitcointalk is a leader of formative opinion.

I think ICO without bitcointalk less sale of tokens, less volume on trading, lower value of tokens and bitcoin also. I'm pretty sure that lower scam ICO :) Without Bitcointalk no life on cryptocurrency.

Well, ICOs can be advertised on social networks. One can create a Twitter account, a Facebook group, an Instagram account, a Telegram channel... It is also possible to write articles on Steemit and Medium to attract the necessary audience. Surely bitcointalk is a very convenient place, because a signature campaign can be launched here.
As for the scam problem - I think it is a matter of time, eventually only good projects will be available. Nowadays the problem is that many people invest unwisely, without considering at least some essential factors like whitepaper, roadmap, team and partners. People will learn more about cryptocurrencies and about ICOs, so nobody will invest in obviously shitty projects. Perhaps some governmental regulation will also help on this matter.

ICOs will still be allowed here in the forum because scams aren't moderated. Some changes might be added to control the spam if things get out of hand. Without Bitcointalk, ICOs will still be here they'll move to a different forum to promote their ICO maybe on Ver's forum.  A huge percentage of it will still be scams there's no change to it because most coins are only used for pumping.

I think ICOs can do other ways of promoting also from Bitcointalk but Bitcointalk is the only way to go to find good real crypto investors and developers and enthusiast! So Bitcointalk is very important for ICOs

Bitcointalk forum is the best place to rally support for ICOs since everyone on the platform already has some knowledge about cryptos. Mainstream social media are currently not very welcoming for crypto.

I think that all ICO pass through the Bitcointalk forum because here is the largest audience of people who are interested in cryptocurrency. Obviously, if the site had disappeared, this would be a real tragedy for all, but eventually the analogs bitcointalk would appear or services such as Bountyhive. It could have happened some kind of innovation and it would be even better than now.

ICO without bitcointalk is nonsense, success own ICO 80% in specify from bitcointalk then if not install ICO in bitcointalk then want where else.
Bitcointalk is a bounty hunt where all the information about cryptoccurency is here and everyone can talk here.

Yes, I agree with you that the bitcointalk forum is the coolest and most common, it is unparalleled and no other forums! And all ICO, good and bad, all go to the forum and post information about yourself including bounty companies! I do not think that by 2020 something will change, most likely bitcointalk will also remain the most popular and popular forum for ICO.

It will make a big impact on ICOs but I think they can use steemit and reddit as substitute to bitcointalk.

I know that ICOs can promote their project elsewhere, like Twitter (spam social media channel), Facebook etc.
But doing marketing for a project that closed the ICO successfully helped me see that all ways at some point in time, bring to bitcointalk forum. That's why I popped that question.
Regarding starting other forums if bitcointalk closes... well such forums already exist, but none of them have the same hype meter like bitcointalk does. And getting a forum where bitcointalk stands today takes time... a LOT of time :)
ICOs regulations - everyone expects them but not much is being done towards this, I've seen the HYIP era too and it turned much into what ICOs are today.

It's a sad thing that mainstream social media doesn't give a good looking for crypto, it's the new technology of the world, the future of the world...

ICOs would be fine without bitcointalk i think. We probably live in a bit of a bitcointalk bubble.

bitcointalk has become an important hub about cryptos. I always check the ANN thread of the coin first and then website, social, exlplorer, github...

However, there will always be alternatives, so if bitcointalk does not allow ICO anymore (which I double the team will decide that way), there will be another forums for posting the info. And people will know where to look at when finding ICO info.

I think this forum is very good platform for crypto world, but there are also ICO listing platforms, some of them are really good, for example www.icoguide.com, so I guess they also assist projects.

I think if you lose bitcointalk, these ICO's are still active.
Because they can still promote their ICO project through other promotion methods, they only hope that ICO can succeed.

Bitcointalk has a great help for all ICO. Because here in the forum there's a lot of investors who are looking for a great project..
But the sad thing about it many of the people are abusing the forum just to deceive people .

Currently, publishing ico in the forum is the earliest one, and it is effective, but the effect is getting smaller and smaller. Many new projects, especially high-quality projects, have not been released here, but through websites and various media.

Supporters and teams of ICO projects are active in this forum as they aim to publish projects, Bitcointalk is the best place to publish ICO because this forum has many users with Cryptocurrency community base if this forum is no longer available for ICO projects due to a ban or any reason then they should find an alternative place to publish their project, they can go to other forums or do publicity in different ways

I strongly believe that this forum is the best medium for most ICOs. How? Most ICOs are making their first entry in crypto world by posting an announcement about their platform in this forum. Even without bounty campaign, curiousity will rise by some members or maybe an investor here. This forum creates an impact to most ICOs.

I see Bitcointalk forum as the skeleton of every ICO. Without bitcointalk forum, I don't see an ICO surviving because the forum houses a lot of people who are willing and ready to get into altcoins so in an instance where bitcointalk forum is not existing, an ICO will also not survive.

Though it may seem this forum is important to the success of ICO's, there are several more forums. I think people would move immediately to a new place if something should happen with this forum.

Also, as for ICO promotions there are already several other ways, where focus isn't too much on forums like these. Several of the best new projects are nowhere to be found over here anyways. Several other great projects are found over here, but if this wasn't available they would simply get their exposure through other means. I for one wouldn't worry too much. This forum is nice, very nice, but crypto will survive either way :)

I think most of the ICO projects currently have legal problems.
Because many countries begin to restrict ICO, if bitcointalk is lost, then ICO project loses an important promotion channel.

There are some websites similiar to bitcointalk such as altcointalk.org, but the community is not big as bitcointalk ofcourse.
I think if bitcointalk is shutdown, people will move to another website that can promoted their ICO

We all agree that people can move to other platforms for promoting purposes, but we also know that this is a thing that will take time, a lot of time, there are tons of forums that die in 1 or 2 years, bitcointalk is not one of them. But what if?

This forum has a very strong impact on the emergence of new projects with their coins! but soon there will be alternative sites where advertising and discussion of new projects will take place!

I think they can do away with bitcointalk but it's betterr if they are on bitcointalk.

I also see most ICOs on bitcointalk, but definitely not all, though I haven't personally assessed what difference it makes. But if ICOs post here then that should signal a positive effect if the are on BCT. I believe BCT gives a great edge for ICOs.

Bitcointalk is a significant platform for building communication between investors and the presentation of new ICOs. However, it isn`t the only way for new projects to report on their existence. The forum is a field for announcements, but it doesn`t answer all questions related to the new project. In order to obtain the necessary information, investors need to visit the project site, see the whitepaper and the road map. I think that such announcements can be done using steemit, twitter and facebook. The forum is rather a concentration of investors and crypto-enthusiasts, so it is convenient for new ICOs to use it for their news, but they can do just fine without it.

In my opinion ICOs will still stand till 2020, but the quality of the project will be different and most of them will be a repeated project and same shit. Project like that will never success on the ICO, 99% scam is too much, maybe around 60-70% ICOs are scam on that year.

Bitcointalk is a very important and useful forum for both ICO and for gaining knowledge and experience. But there are a few projects that have not announced their ICO at this forum,but have become very successful and have conducted their ICO in a few minutes,information about such projects rarely reaches wide publicity and very large investors who never advertise themselves and their participation in cryptocurrencies.

Indeed, the site bitcointalk promotes the recognition of the project and its possible development, but there are such projects that do not need bounty campaigns, etc. It is not known how the ICO project market will look in the future, but I hope that there will be less scammers, and more successful projects.

Bitcointalk as been the backbone of most ICOs out there with a number of them launching their projects and using BTC as a pipularity tool, here they get their names out there through various means such as articles written by Bitcoin talk bounty hunters, among others, BTC is therefore one of the most important forums for the ICOs their success almost depends on it

Bitcointalk is a platform for promotion of ICOs, I don't think that without bitcointalk any ico can successfull. we have seen there thousands of people which are crypto enthusiastic and willing to invest in crypto ICOs. we may use some other platforms like moonforum, etc etc. but they are not effective as bitcointalk is.

The question is quite funny and interesting, and I really don't know any other variants that could be so suitable, comfortable and promising like Bitcoitalk. This platform is too easy in work and profitability from this one is too high I am sure.

basically, not all ico are a scam. there are some ico that is a scam but it doesn't mean there's no legit ico. there are still many legit ico that can be followed. it all depends on how we choose an ico and I think everyone has their own criteria in choosing it. the most important thing is that we have to be able to choose good ico so that I can get legit ico.

They will use another platform for the promotion and work at all, I don't have any other variants. But this forum is the most preferable platform for this doing I think.

Nothing on earth is permanent. So even if the bitcointalk is lost from the market, ICOs will find a new channel for themselves. I don’t think it will have an effect on ICOs.
