Irrespective of problems encountered by crypto enthusiasts like fake icos, scammers and delay. I think ICO plays an important rule in execution of sound projects. So Without ICO, most coins  find it difficult to raise funds to execute their project. Without ICO, coins or projects will find it difficult to advertise their project, without  ICO, projects will find it difficult to reach the right audience, Etc.therefore I believe in ICO because it enable me to research, analyst and evaluate the potentials of that project. Do you also believe in ICO?

Yes there are a lot of problems regarding ICOs, I guess that the issue should be regulated, to reduce number of scams and to give to good ideas chance of development. The market is full of scams and it also makes the situation problematic for good projects. But overall the ICOs are very important for development of crypto market, without them the market will be dead in nearest future.

What does it have to do with ICOs? You can research, analyst and evaluate the potential of existing projects as well by using some of the free sources like coincheckup.com for instance. Mostly, projects or ICOs which already exist and have lost in value but still offer a sound foundation and development activity are better to invest in that ICOs you do not really know much except the information in the whitepaper.

Why ICO is important? First company needs funding and to get funds they need investors for their projects or startups. They can't begin what is in their minds to get the projects and start the business without funding. ICO is leveled with IPO but there is big difference between the two.  I am not an expert anyway to elaborate the two.

ICO I think it is necessary to keep it, as long as I can avoid fraudulent projects and make the ICO process more standardized, it is best to let the relevant departments manage, so that the team that really works can get the startup funds quickly. This is also very beneficial to investors.

Yes I think icos are very necessary. I know in last few months there is a lots of icos which is failed. And there is more who scammed people and vanished. But  for those scammer you can't say that all icos are not good or this whole ico market is not worthy. Cause if you see the history of this space you can see a lots of good token came from ico and they are doing well. And there is lots of icos now who really want to improve this market. But for some reasons like downtrend of the market or scammed icos investors are not happy. But I still this for this crypto market icos are really important and  I think they will do a lot more for this space

Although development projects are very much in need of raising funds through ICO, I think this approach requires more legal supervision, otherwise the ICO market will lose more investors!

ICO is very necessary, and indeed many projects are currently scams. But covering does not mean that ICO is not good. When ICO is regulated, it is equal to the beginning of fair investment around the world. That way bitcoin will become more expensive.

its an important steps in order for crypto to work. ICO is the 1st steps for public to learn, analyse, and evaluate the crypto potential. how crypto perform during ICO greatly reflect the crypto performance and acceptability by the public.

Its necessary because we have some real developer and sincere one that actually have prowess to invent some projects but dont have fund, so they will need ico to implement such plan.

In my opinion mate i completely believe icos. If you want to ask why. Because initial coin offerings give to people a really huge chance to collect money for
some technological developments and for new projects. Yes in that space too many people here for only earning money. But you can think like that. You
are really a intelligent guy and you have some ideas which can change the world. Maybe can not change completely but atleast you can make something different and
valuable for humanbeing. So before icos you can not do it easily. You need to spend really big energy to some big companies. You need to try to explain yourself wisely to
rich companies. While you are doing that they can try to take your idea without permission or they can use you etc etc.

So as you can see with icos people really have a big opportunity to create something new. They can explain themselves completely to the average and normal people.
and if people like that project and if they believe that project will be a really bright future they can invest your company easily.

Look what a amazing opportunity for some people who wants to create something valuable for the world. Yes now ico investors dont realise that. and also 90 percentage ico
companies not doing that like that. Too many people in that space only for money. Ico companies want to collect millions of dollars and they are trying to lambos. Ico investors
want to flip tokens in second and they want to buy lambos etc etc. Yes now ico space exactly like that.

But as you can see in my first paragraph as i mentioned that before. that is really huge and huuuuge opportunity for the people who have really big ideas for the future.
and they can directly collect money for that project from people.I really believe initial coin offerings. Only we need more experienced and more people which have really good information
about crypto space. Same time i believe after some time these flipper investors and these scam ico companies can not continue do samething like before. After more people will have more experience
about that issue and after more people will have more awareness about initial coin offerings real value i believe everything will be really different than before.

So i want to say in my last sentences. I really believe initial coin offering. and i am praying to god for help to continue these ico chance to people. Initial coin offerings can be our future.
We can create with icos futures biggest companies. We can do it. People deserve that chance. I believe icos and i will continue like before investing icos wisely.

Best Regards.

Many coins advertise on large media, even without relying on the ICO, they use personal funds, and it's not difficult. So on what basis do you say "Without ICO, coins or projects will find it difficult to advertise their project." ???

An ICO is a simple startup,  the only difference is that they are funding crypto assets,  not fiat.  And no more difference. If any of us ever dealt with traditional startups,  he would know that there is a lot of cheating as well.

I believe in ICO. Investing in ICO projects is a form of super-profit, it can bring you the wealth of tens of times the number you currently have, but there are also many risks. In addition to the potential ICO projects that attract the attention of investors, you also need to look into the electronic money market to avoid scam-sensitive ICO projects.

Ofcourse it's importany because they can't develop a product without funds but most ICO doesn't have a hardcap and it's really not a good idea.

Yes, I agree with you without ICO it is difficult to attract a potential audience. Therefore, I also think that ICO should exist and even more. But just do not scam as it happens now.

i think ICO's are very much necessary because it enables one to be able to analyse and evaluate the potential of a project. the use of ICO as well helps in keeping tabs of the benefits of a project as well as prevent fraudulent coins too.

Yes ICOs is necessary due to it is new innovations in instrument of investment in the world especially for cryptocurrencies or the corporations which want addopt cryptocurrencies in their businesses, we can not blame the ICOs just due to there are many scam ICOs out there, good or bad ICOs depends on our analysis fundamental before making investment in the ICOs projects, so don't blame the ICOs we don't have reasons for it.

The disappearance of the ICO is a very serious loss to the cryptocurrency, as is the world economy. But ICO needs to be regulated. Good ICO development is the welfare of all mankind.

ICO is very important for any project. This is a pioneering step, calling for capital from investors. promoted to many in the encrypted community. But in fact, many people use ICO to scam, not bring value to investors and users

Just advise other way to raise funds..

At the moment ICO is the best solution. It is not expensive, it could raise a lot of funds, it is not so hard to organize and lunch.

I agree, trust in ICO is less than it was last year. I, personally invested just twice during this year. Not only because of scam, mostly because of coin price.
After ICO it is much cheaper to buy

Obviously they are important because without them there is no real deal. I mean in the real world IPO is formed whenever there is new project or entity is getting launched. They do this so that people can come to know about the establishment of new firms or projects and also raise the money at the same time. This is very much important step in the crypto sphere too as there is no other way to gain such high amount of money and then deliver the project roadmap. Yes, there are fake and fraud cases all the time but we cant anything about it as there are also nice projects emerging and who can benefit us as the investors.

As already mentioned by other forum members.
Yes, ICO is necessary for crypto currency, but before you invest you need to study the project in which you are going to invest.
But the ICO also carries the risk of fraud and you need to invest the funds that you will be ready to lose (I think so), you do not need to invest the last money and hope that you will earn millions.

Without ICO how will the innovative idea come up? Only ICO can flourish the chance of spreading the blockchain based currency a.k.a cryptocurrency. Different people will come up with new ideas and it requires ICO for making the idea a successful one.

Yes....I think it is necessary so as to raise the required fund to execute intended projects. Founders may have ideas but no funds, that's where ICO's comes into play. However, the ICO system needs a holistic approach to get rid of fraudulent activities.

Yeah, there are too many SCAMs in the ICO market, but I hope this is just a matter of time. More and more platforms that will "filter" ICOs and help reliable projects to raise funds are emerging today.

ICO is a process on which the coins is at the state where investors could buy it, I mean it is a lot of cheaper and you could make bigger profits when you are going to invest in an ICO than buying in the market, it depends if that certain ICO will pay you then that would be a sure profit. Without an ICO, yes it would be hard to sell the coins peer to peer, that would be a time consuming and too hassle for the team to do, it will cost a lot more money for them.

The only negative thing about ICO these days are they are turning scams at the end, which is pretty sad if you spent months on them yet at the end you will realized you are hoping for nothing at all.

ico is necessary since new project needed funds to pursue the development of it. these icos are a way of soliciting funds and in return they promise their investor that theyll profit in the market. some give certain privilege for investors in their project.

They can surely create and develope their own technologies with 1m dollar also but i need icos necessary for that ecosystem. Because people always try to find new technologies and updated versions like telephones.In the world now people wants to buy new telephone everyyear. so we can think icos like that. but surely they need to collect less amount of money. they are not collecting money for developments only. they are collecting for lambo homes future insurance etc. :D

yes ico is very influential in the development stage because with the ico funds the project can run well, but there are also some coins that don't need ico maybe they already have many partners and a lot of their own funds so they can develop well

ICO is an effective way of crowdfunding in Cryptocurrency community.  It has an advantage of liquidity  for Cryptocurrency market as a whole,  and it could also attract investment from non Cryptocurrency community.

ICO is a fundraising tool, many ideas are utopian, but some of them are really cool.

Initially many users got fooled by the scam ICO's, but as time goes on the users are turning out to be more careful and they do a thorough research about the project and then they get involved in the ICO. I believe more moderators should be added to the forum to monitor almost all the ICO projects which are advertised here in bitcointalk forum to avoid further scams.

I think ico is not necessary for a project there are other methods to raise funds but to be honest icos are the easiest way to raise funds because you have no binding of repayments, because if they get funds from other sources like banks or financial institutes they will have to pay interests and also pay back the loans within specific period of time, that is why icos are getting popular as they are global and with no pressure on team other than project delivery.

In order for most of these trash projects to raise funds, ICOs are about the only way. They can't launch an IPO because they have no product or often even a company, and nobody would provide them a single cent. Right now, most ICOs are just snatching as much money from the market as they possibly can before they disappear into obscurity in a few years. Very few projects have a genuine vision for the future that they want to implement.

crypto world cannot be separated from the ICO
because altcoins that have a capital market now are the results of ICOs that were done before the other ICOs appeared

ICO is a great ways introduce a project to everyone who wanted to invest regardless of life status. With respect to scams and other fraudulent actions of other groups of people who seems to ruin the reputations of crypto currency projects with a wrong perceptions. This has come to a point that people lost trust of crypto because of these reasons. Overall it's really necessary for us in order to grow the demand of the crowd funding of a certain project.

I think it is not about the necessary. I think that ICO is an opportunity that we must take based on the smart analysis and wise decision. ICO is actually very worthy as long as we can ensure about 80% if it is legit, not scams. growingly, ICO offers the very compatible and advanced technology and concept. It has included many fields in the world.

Every coins that will be created out there should launch an ICO, first of all, it needs a lot of investments so that the project will pursue and continues, another thing is it needs promotion and advertisement so launch a bounty campaign. These are just the two main reasons why ICO is very much necessary.

For those who are in investment I think ICO is really important because it plays a major role in giving information about the project. Through ICO the whole information is complete including the future development and analysis of the project. For some critics just by reading their ANN thread they can easily assess if the project will succeed or just a scam. It is also a way to increase awareness for the end user of the project.

I believe ICO is the bedrock of every project that can ever have a successful execution because it through ICO that the needed found will be rase in other for the team to be able to take the project to a successful and conclusive end. ICO is very important because it also give investors the chance to own shares in the project.

Normally, the shares of companies are offered to the public to raise money. ICO is also a public offering. Of course, money is needed to develop projects. Usually the amount of money collected is quite high and it is a different question whether they are managed appropriately.

I think ICO is a good method for a new startup and it should exist. The necessity of ICO's is actually huge. It is more like crowdfunding but with tokens. ICO helps entrepreneurs to launch their product by pre-selling shares worldwide where traditional crowdfunding has many limitations.

Yes, you are correct. ICO is not the only way to advertise a project, but maybe it is about the effectiveness. In my view, ICO is still the best way to advertise and to promote a project since ICO can involve many people who really understand about crypto. The promotion can be through some crypto forums including investors, traders, and crypto enthusiasts that potentially will join the project.  

If me my opinion ICO will help developer, if they will scamming member or anything else related with that, now we have escrow if peple want to. It all depends on us to pick which is ico good in market or not.

Ico is needed!
Ico is great way to max out the financial potential.


I dont know who created this ico but he must be genius !!


Ico is very smart idea !

ICO is important if the project is legit and legal and they comply to all the rules and the team are honest and transparent on what they are going to do with the funds they raise, but it is being abused by fraud people, some of them posting fake address and people to their team to make it appear legit, this is the other face of ICO that I want stopped.

As i can see,  not all ico are necessary, because in rarely scenario, ico are worth it to do (join, particilate, to invest). But most of the time ico are such a scambag that run awat after the ico finished. Meaning you have to aware which ico youve choose to avoid of being scam.

Yes it is necessary. Most of the good existing projects nowadays started with their ICO. Every project needs to be funded before it can take off and funds would only come from investors. In return to the investors, profit would be given when the project succeeded. Now, there's no doubt ICO is necessary but the issue is the there is a lot of scammed ICO. One way to resolve that problem is to set up rules and regulations.

Apart from start-ups needing funds to execute their project thereby resorting to ICO, I see no need for it especially as many have seen it as a quick way to make more money and most times they are disappointed after the ICO and the coin doesn't "moon".

Indeed. That's the purpose of the started an ICO, in addition to project development, ICO funds are also usually used by teams to listing their tokens to a common and famous places. It can be run without an ICO, but it is possible that the development will look so slow and not in accordance with the schedule.

No most ico's offer nothing new, and I have been doing fine without investing in too many of them so I would say they are definitely not needed. Look at bitcoin..

The current ICO is needed to release the new crypto to the market, so the importance of the ICO is undisputed. The ICO was created in parallel with the bounty campaign to promote the ICO to many investors, so they know about the project and invest in increasing the exchange rate of the token when listed on exchange floors.

Well you did analyzed, researched and whatever it is you must do with bitcoin without ICO right?
You could do it without it.

Actually it is the opinion of other people which I like most with this ICO's and also giving chance to those who cannot fund their genius ideas.

It is normal with a corrupt kind of a government. This kind of people are not being heard but here they are seen by just showing what good features their projects will be.

ICOs are a great tool for raising funds. It can help a project to be developed. Also, it can help investors to make profit. So, there is no doubt the concept is great. But unfortunately there are many problems. There must be an organization or an authority that can stop scams.
I personally have not an idea how this problem can be solved. Because I don't know how we can have both decentralization and regulation at the same time. But this problem must be finally solved.

ICO can be a means of financing a good project, but some people have taken advantage of this platform to bring about loss to so many people by scamming them. Also, one of the things that make the crypto space very much interesting are ICOs. It has both it's advantage and disadvantages, but it would be more advantageous if you try every means possible to avoid scam projects.

Thats right many investors falls to ICO scam because of lack of knowledge about the background of each projects ,  the only ICO i trust right now is the WPP Energy that is based on Switzerland a company of professionals in energy sector with patented renewable technologies that are already implemented to some countries !

Ico’s attracts users or investors to join their project. It contributes to the crypto market and awareness to the other users. I think it just needs regulation to halt scams since scam in Ico is spreading.

ICO is indeed a fine way to raise a fund for a company. Sadly cryptocurrencies communities make it as a get rich quick scheme. It makes the ICO images becomes bad due to that irresponsible scammer. The problem is on the communities not on the ICO method itself.

Yes and no.  As a concept I see the value it brings to the project and investors.  Investors can invest any amount they want and fund a project.  The project gets the funds they need.  In the United States, ordinary citizens cannot participate in Venture Funding because that requires a $200,000 minimum investment.  There is no way that an ordinary person can reap those benefits with that kind of limit. 

On the other hand it's relatively easy to create a website, make a jargon-laden whitepaper with made up words that sound impressive and create fake social media profiles too fool people into handing over money for a project that has no future.

For me, ICO's are actually good thing and it helps us and their projects. But of course it also have the negative effect like what you said about fake ICO's and scammers. Most of the ICO's today are not legit or simply scam. I believe in ICO and it is very helpful but if we join, we mist sure that it is not scam and a good reputation ICO.

ICO is the best way to raise funds to develop project in crypto world by selling project tokens. All can join, buy tokens and become a part of project in future, ICO is better than IPO.
But ICO is dangerous for new investors, just need to check, analyze project info to invest.
Organicco is one of the best ICO in 2018, you can check and join here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3379079

ICO is just like the kick starter of a project, it act as the first funding to makes the project run.
Just as you said, without the necessary funding, a project will find a difficulty to make any improvement or just starting their work.

I think ICO is necessary, it's a way for company to gain initial finance to develop their products. Because most of blockchain companies are startups and they don't have enough money to maintain their works, pay for office and salary. In addition, ICO also make the project become more popular, by running bounty, airdrop and promotion campaigns.

Of course, ICOs are very important in the development of the Crypto-currency. Regardless of the fact that now there are a lot of frauds among these projects, that now it is very difficult for them to raise funds due to the fall of the crypto-currency market, this activity is very useful and can not be stopped. While these problems with ICO are temporary. There is a general regulation of the ICO process on the part of the states, and then the fraud will basically disappear.

I think it is unnecessary, since crypto is currently a lot of coins and tokens have the same application, everything is too much. The ICO is just one form of calling.

I think ico is important because it is part of crypto currency movements and maybe someday all companies will use ico as a promotional place that can be accessed by the whole world

I agree with your statement, because the ICO is the way for an ICO project to be known and get funding from Investors, so they can carry out their projects

ICO is a new trend for the development of Cryptocurrency because this is where they can have many different ideas and work together with big projects. I personally like to invest in good ICO projects because it gives me a very good profit if the project is attracted by many investors.

ICO still be quite a lot of interest. in terms of marketing a project then it is quite important and almost all there is going to be successful with the ICO. Indeed for some time, it is doubtful enough because ICO scam that the more scattered inside. Yet it still will remain the ICO produces and this should be taken opportunities result.

ICO is always needed for me and I believe in it. The projects have helped me to have a better life than ever. But now there are a lot of fraudulent projects and we need to equip skills to avoid it. Do you have any good skills? please introduce me. thanks

ICO is very useful for those who already have a good working product, which needs to be improved, because progress does not stand still. And the launch of ICO helps developers realize their dream.
As for me, without ICO it would be difficult to collect the same $20 million for the product.

ICOs are needed in crypto no matter what and how many scam people we will still have better and good project to solve daily issue of human and how to influence the use of blockchain ,
Investors are the one to know how to go about choosing the kind of ICO they get in to avoid being scam , and if not sure how save they are on it then it will be a good ideal to invest little that won't hurt them when it turn other way round but definitely we need more ICOs to challenge the existing ones because competition make market more free and easy to adopt and in crypro we preach decentralized .

Scam ICO isn't not necessary. Obviously ICO is the one of famous way to raise fund and build a community. A potential ICO keep important role in crypto industry. For example ETH was introduced by ICO. But currently we can't see much potential project of ICO. Most of are scammer. In my opinion 90% project became scam. How people's will trust on ICO. I think there should be something new instead of ICO for security of investor. Like project could use escrow, if any project use escrow for raise fund I believe people's will encourage again for invest on ICO. However a potential ICO keeping role to expand crypto world. So I believe there is still necessary for potential ICO's.

Yes it is necessary to promote the good outcome of the project, its been practice before and until now, if its lack of support from the crowd it means their something wrong with the project so the team will enhance it or they will stop it.

ICO is very necessary in my own point of view, It helps startups to raised fund for their project. Although there is too much scam in companies pretending to be real whereas they are scammers. I will also like if ICO companies are registered with the government of  their residential office.

Of course ico is needed in creating a new coin, because with ico the coins will be promoted by the participants, both investors and bounty hunters, and with the promotion of ico, more people will know about the ico and can support ico later will be a successful ico. and also ico can be a way to find funds to register the ico coins into an exchange, because registering a coin in an exchange is not free and requires quite a lot of funds.

Without ICO, we would not be seeing ethereum and the thousands of projects that were and will be created under its platform. ICO's are healthy for the crypto community. They become new players that pushes devs/founders of established projects to keep on improving their platforms.

I consider it not only necessary - but also an honest collection of money. do not forget The BTT was coined to improve the quality and life of ordinary people, where we say still ordinary people with excellent ideas can just realize themselves - like without any unnecessary banking procedures - that only hinder and complicate life - our - ordinary people. take the money.?

Yes, now I agree with the market without control - and of course it's the eyes and the mosses that put it - but that's always the case in any business - where there is money there and a moss. but I believe that time will put everything on its meta - everything will be more transparent - honestly. and the market will put itself in order.

Yes, it would be nice to have some kind of registry - to control the powerheads. Here not only ordinary people suffer. but the entire crypto world, because of a lack of trust in the industry in general

ICO is mostly needed by many project, since it's most of the project that needed to have some fund to be used for any future development.

Yeah ICO is very important because it is like advertising the coin and easy way to make their coins popular and reach to the right level .people could easily find coins through icos without icos the price of coin cannot be easily up so I think it is necessary for all introducing coins.

ICO is an interesting investment opportunity for investing fiat money and crypto currency. This investment opportunity is potentially able to circumvent the profitability of traditional financial instruments.

Yes of course ico is most important play the  role to grow up any projects. because without ico can't reach the peak point of success. advertising is must be given power of strength etc.it can not possible without ico .so l think it's necessary to do it.

I think yes. ICO is still very necessary for helping the crypto especially new crypto to have community, promote their project, and spread the tokens or coins. ICO is the Initial Coin Offering where it is very helpful to gain the investors to invest their money and then the tokens and coins from the ICO can exactly run on exchange. However, it may be sad to know many ICO scams that make investors lose their money.

ICO is a very convenient way to finance, and now companies and teams can quickly get R&D funding through ICO to contribute to society as a whole. Just because these fraudsters use the current ICO to extract their profits, this has caused ICO's reputation to suffer. As long as there is a complete system to standardize ICO, I believe that is the time when the ICO broke out.

I think it does, if the project is of great value then ICO can benefit both the dev as well as the investors. As of now, many ICOs are scamming recently, so it's important for us to be aware and cautious before investing. And not all ICOs are fake, fraudulent so don't stop believing in ICO, because it is a great option to have to know the company and invest in them.

Your statement makes absolutely ZERO SENSE. Why isn't ICO necessary? How else do you expect a coin to have publicity? How will millions of people out there would know of a coin's existence if the ICO had never taken place?
Promotions matter a lot, and without promotions, we wouldn't have known about 99% of the coins that exist here.

I think ICO is important because apart from it being another method startup companies can raise money, it is the same as what companies do in stocks as IPO. The only problem with ICO is that it has become very easy for fraudsters to cheat people out of their monies through this ICO. That is the major problem now.

What do you mean under "believe in ICO". Of course ICO plays important role in project development. To find sponsorship is quite difficult.

ICO is very important. ICO is an equal investment in the world, that is, the reform of the financial industry. But abuse ICO, scam. Still fatal.

      Yes, i believe in ICO of every product. Market is more bigger if the product is posted for ICO in the open market. it is a plat form where you can attract more possible investors thru advertisement, project endorsement using the Bounty Campaign. Yes, it is also thru that a lot of ICO as posted are created by a lot of Scammer for project profits then just disappeared on the thread, with this one should be more careful in participating ICO  Campaign.

Of course i do believe in ICOs, how else do you expect good projects to get funded. I know they can be self funded but the point is to get as much peoppe involved in the project financial because free airdrops doesnt mean the people getting the airdrops believe in the project.
As for me, when i invest in any ICO i truly believe the project will do great or have a great fighting chance in the market. Yeah about the Scams, i feel its normal one just have to be extra careful when doing discovery.  I believe ICOs are necessary.

I'm not against ICO's in theory, because I believe a proper, structured fund raising solution in cooperation with blockchain technology is what the future holds for small to large size businesses.

ICO is really needed for the present moment. Because now the market is bottoming out and it gives us more opportunities to grow better when the market rises. Although quality projects are not that great, I still believe in ICO projects in the future. Still waiting for a good project to be able to x3 properties. ;D

I think that ICO is needed. But there must be a structure that would control them. Precisely because there is no control there are so many scammers who want only to raise money. In general, without ICO, new projects will not be able to realize themselves

ICOs are not a necessity, but it is a way to attract investors as well as find new working capital flows for the Crypto market. Most ICOs often fail and cause investors to lose money, but losses make the market more liquid to help stabilize the market.

I think the ICO is needed for the purpose of introducing a new project, regardless of whether the project failed or succeeded. and ICOs are also needed for developers to get initial funds that will be used for development.

Although many argue that the ICO market has died, however, the figures show the opposite, the ICO market is growing, in August 1818 $ 1.4 billion is called capital figure ICO, up 44% over the previous month. If it is not needed, why is it always growing

I think in some projects, they chose to hold ico to get funding from investors to support and start their projects, but they must provide consequences and real profit prospects as a reciprocal

I don’t see why they should be, majority are Failures and scams. There has been more successful projects that never needed the scam.c.o at all and have been successful. If you can find your own project or take the initiative yourself or have an actual community behind to build off of an exchange or a POW coin why even bother. Yes there have been a few successful ones but there is no need for them.

In my opinion, the ICO just already has a good status in cryptocurrency and crypto develops by it. The market will crush without ICO, I think.

You understand that if the market is crushed, then no market ico companies will no longer be left out. He will suffer too. And very much. in any case I hope that large whales realize the negative from their artificial manipulation of the market and stop such actions ..

Yeah, sometimes it is really necessary but sometimes really unnecessary. Also there is a new business model for starting up new projects by not doing an ICO, instead they are making weekly airdrops and listing the coin in a couple of exchanges for the early birds. I like this way very much.

The fact is that there are a lot of interesting and promising projects on the ico market. Coins on the crypto-currency market are also quite a lot, which does not represent any interest for investors. But meanwhile there are a lot of promising and necessary projects.

I don't call it necessary. But it is the good thing. It is helping all market development and grow. Coinmarketcap has already reached over 2K+ cryptocurrencies now. So market value is getting increase day by day with new coins/tokens. Some day natural selection will select some of it and money will be transferred the good ones.

Yes, ICO projects are very necessary for the development and improvement of the crypto currency. Everyone who wants to contribute to the development of the Crypto-currency is allowed to conduct the ICO. Now, of course, there are a lot of scammers involved in this process, but at this stage from now on we will not go anywhere. Too large amounts of money that ICO teams collect collect and attract the attention of scammers. When the states begin to regulate the ICO process, which in any case will be, the number of fraudulent ICO projects will significantly decrease.

I think ICO will change soon.
This is already happening. I think that now there are a lot less frivolus investors

That is, you find non-creative ICOs, blockchain will be futuristic and at present there are many companies and corporations are applying it to their work. ICOs are just projects that help speed things up

Yes Ico must be changed, since we all know Ico’s has surrounds of scam. These must be change indeed for the benefits of the users or investors. Although, Ico’s is also important to collect funds on their project but needs to changes the process to prevent fraud.

I also feel that way and I also believe ICO even though it cannot be denied that there are not a few ico who are just scams and scams but ico is very helpful in the project

I think that ICO is the best chance to get money easily, sure that it is not the 100% safe thing to deal with as risks are everywhere. To my mind, it is necessary to check whether ico is reliable

we know that at the moment the development of ico is surrounded by fraud. so I think that the ICO should be changed, so that in the future it can soar, and the possibility of investors' interest will rise again, because the ICO has been changed.

I do believe in ICO because we have seen in so many projects the fruit of having an ICO we have a lot of good projects and platform online, but unfortunately, it is being ruined by bad projects and developers who neglected their project after getting funds from the investors, ICO has never been the same since two years ago.

I completely agree with you. I think that ICO is very important for cryptography in general and I think we've already seen a lot of good Crypto-currencies that have proved that ICO is an integral part of their advancement and I think so and everything will remain in place!

Of course it is use to raise funds , for me I am investing to existing company that are adopting blockchain company because it is more safer doing this , because most of the ICO Project nowadays are scams which is bad for new investors ! If you are looking for decent ICO i prefer WPP Energy that is established in Switzerland , the company is one of the leading renewable energy provider worldwide , they are also adopting blockchain technology to operate more efficient and also to incentivize the use of clean energy !

I agree - that the projects .. this is part of the industry itself crit. therefore it can not be at all without it, respectively, the ICO and the crypto currency are one whole. if there is no ICO there will be no crypts,,,,

I also think that this is necessary for the further growth of the entire industry, not only in general, but also in its application to life. ie for ordinary people.

Of course ICO - it's a good variant  make up a purse. Startups  or any another projects which have relation with cryptocurrency IPO can't hold, due to the specifics of the niche.

Well an ICO can certainly help a project get a solid start. But it's not explicitly "necessary" for a project to be successful. They can distribute the coins in other ways like airdrops or just selling on exchanges.

IMO, I think ICO is needed. At first new project often need money to develop their project and ICO is a good way to get money for their project. It's the same as SharkTank. LOL. But there are so many scam ICOs so investors need to be careful before investing in any ICO on the internet.

I think the ICO is very important to develop projects, if without ICO, however, most projects do not have strong capital unless the ICO is held.
but lately ICOs are often used to deceive investors and disappointments grow from investors to fear investing because it is difficult to distinguish which ICO is good, and which are scams.

I do not think that we should abandon the ICO, if there is a good idea. Another thing is that the overwhelming number of such projects is based on trust, beautiful schemes and graphics, common phrases in white paper. There is a lack of more interactivity as proof of the existence of the project, not just: we have an idea, give us money, we will try in a year or two to implement it.

So let me ask you, are traditional tech startups now necessary when I feel that life is so perfect with the present?

You can't just underestimate the power of ICOs in bringing projects (new) to the World. ICOs go a long way in promoting new projects. Let's not forget the fact that some might be fake.

Icos allow companies usually at the very early stage to collect the funds necessary for the project development and the completion. There are good and bad projects, be careful when choosing to invest, do the research first.

Of course ICO is needed. First of many projects that had to come, and to gather funds difficult. And ICO is a good way to collect funding to promote your project. Especially thanks to ICO there are new coins!

in any case, among all Yeko companies that created their coins, there are quite promising projects and ideas than products will be in demand in society. Even if their 10% of it is 100, then I think that this is already a good result.

It depends on the way the set up of the project is arranged, if it is set up in a way that they need more money than they have to improve the project then yes they do need icos. With icos they can raise the money necessary to make sure that the project is a success although not all of the projects need icos since they already have what they need to get started

Nowadays, many very good and innovative projects, through ICO to raise funds, are more efficient than the traditional way.

ICO is really good and you just need to find the good ones. I heard that it’s quite hard for scammers to start up ICO this time around cause the price for starting it is high this time around, but… I know there will still be scammers. Don’t forget the fact that ICOs has been able to raise billions of dollars this year, so that’s a good way to make a good profit. They are worth it and should still be around.

it can absolutely depend on the kind of project that is doing the ico and if they need the money that they are raising from it. Some are just fine without doing the ico and they do not have any problems doing well after. In the end it just comes down to money and if they need the money then i think the ico is necessary.

ICO projects have become very popular over the past few years, and their number is constantly increasing because big money is pouring into this industry. Personally, I think that now the market for ICO projects is changing and when the market recovers, it will be different, maybe the projects will realize that most of them want too much money to implement their idea.
