now i see how many days ico appears and the result is a kind of war between ico to attract investors.
whereas I see that pre-sales to the public, ico are hardly in accordance with their targets, even to touch soft caps, it's very difficult.

Do you think that mastah caused ico not to be expected?

ICOs are no more good origin for making money in crypto. The investors try to avoid fake ICOs for not getting scammed. STOs are a new, upgraded and different version of ICOs, investors now prefer to throw their money to new platform version of token sales.

Thank you, I also believe that now I also do not expect benefits from ICO, and I think there is no good hope in the future to get a decent profit, even better I will save my altcoin in daily trading.

You cannot blame investors just take a look at Resto Token it looks legit has a god grade covered by top crypto media and now they are a scam site, even projects that look legit can scam people and they are still free, investors are on vacation now, don't expect them to be back soon.

Investors lost their confidence in crypto and ICOs. I understand the risks related to crypto but not all investors know the risks. Scam projects always look for easy ways in order to scam new investors but this kind of treatment will end soon after regulation.

the number of cases of ico scams makes investors lose confidence before investing with the ico project, but I think investors also know about this and of course they will return to invest with ico after the market has improved again.

I think that ICO projects are no longer curable. There was too much bad news about it and a more complete STO was born. Although it is still in the process of researching and developing Security Token to ensure investor rights, it will soon complete and defeat ICO.

This is indeed a big problem for ico where because there are so many scam projects that make people become distrustful of cryptocurrency back at this time

Investors are tired dealing with the scam project, its actually ruined the trust of a real investors.
There is less interest now because of failed and scam project, the truth is they don't offer good services at all and that is why most of the ICO failed to get investors. Investors are too focus on the top coins right now, for a safe investment.

That is because of huge volume of ICO being presented in the market. And based on what I see, many are just not worthy at all, there are very few number of ICO that is performing well and investors are having a hard time finding those.

What is mastah actually? I dont even know what you are actually meaning about. Hope yoou understand that every ICO is very risky so just don't invest if you only have dollars you cannot achieve.

Because nowadays, ICO is hard to reach success and many people getting disappointed with investing in ICO. They cannot make any profit from ICO and the ICO itself delay their project because of the bear market. The investor doesn't want to know about that, and they only care about making money.

I think the ICO should make something before the investor is left them and they cannot continue the project until it finished.

its all about so much fake ICO or scammers. it makes many investors think harder more than usually before join in a ICO. Its same goes to bounty hunter too. Too much scammers bounty campaign. not good at all

I think most of the investors have lost the money in the ICO, now still have not any law can protect the investor in this moment, many scam and the fraud all around in the crypto, so the investors would like invest in the stock market better than crypto market now.

Quality of ICO projects at the moment is very terrible while it was really really good at 2017, it's the reason why number of ICO investors decreased a lot. But it doesn't mean nobody invest in ICO anymore cause good ICO projects are still available but the problem is it's not easy to find out these ICO projects.

funds that were not managed to be collected during the pre-sale can be due to the poor market situation and the lack of investors in the project, because we know that the market in these difficult conditions also hinders the ongoing ico project. the team and the developer need exstra work in raising funds at least able to reach the softcap stage as you mean.

What do you mean by 'mastah'? Anyway, As I said previously, ico hype is gone so investors have become cautious of investing in ICOs and that's a good thing.

Over the past one year, we have seen many scam ICOs and many investors have suffered losses, so now they are very careful and most of them have lost interest in investing in ICOs.

What is mastah? If you mean about whales, maybe whales for now not interested with ICO because they can get profit from trading activity. And we can see some ICOs not really success in market, it means a lot of investor's money already stuck in that and investor wouldn't always come.

that's true investor really lose their cofidence when it comes investing on ICO because of that causes. for me i don't believe that they will return to invest when market stabilize again because for sure they are afraid now to spend money again on it which is since market collapse also they cant obtain profits on it.

Investors now prefers STO over ICO but that doesn't mean all STO are good ,imagine desico project switched to STO and desico really really have bad habits of not treating investors right before switching ,that's an example so not all STO will be good but ICO still have better chances it's just that investors are not smart and very picky so many ICO will see less interest from investors unless they deliver at best

In the bear market, most ICO projects are difficult to achieve soft top, because most investors lack investment enthusiasm.

There are several reasons why the ICO has been abandoned by investors:
1. First there are no clear regulations, because not having ICO regulations is a good place for scammers.
2. Second the crypto market condition is bad, of course this condition can affect the funds that have been collected when raising funds.

There are just a few scam ICO just so happen that there are many ICO appears suddenly after the market hype on 2017 and lead the investors to scattered every where. Just like the demand and supply law, there are many ICO yet the number of investor is less than anticipated.

it is not a war it is a struggle. and they are struggling because they are useless, and so far (mainly in 2017) they could gather a lot of money from lots of investors because by that time very little people realized how useless they are so they invested in them. but nowadays more people are aware of it so they don't trust them anymore.
not to mention that the main source of success for these shitty ICOs have been the gambling attitude of investors and we all know gamblers always lose in the long run which is why their time is over.

in 2017 and early last year ico was the trending things and if you are an investors in cryptocurrencies and you have not invested in icos it seemed you have not started yet.  But now the trend has changed and we are having a new direction now.
Because of scam and fake icos many people and investors that has interest in icos investments has to abandon it and invest some were.

the cause of investors' lack of trust is that now there are a lot of fraudsters who are the ico team. this is a loss for many investors, this must be eliminated against fraudsters who take advantage by making fake ico. so it is only natural that there are many people who doubt ico and invest.

The hype around ICOs have faded significantly due to failures on the part of the team to deliver their promises. Add to that the currenct condition of the market. In 1000 ICOs today, an investor would probably join just five or even less (based on my assumption only).

this is more the fault of the ico team itself who is not consistent in running their project. it should go according to their road map at the beginning, but most of them are holding back tokens due to the bear market. even if the token has been listed to the exchanger, even though the price is still low, the hodler will still hodl their tokens. but the reality is the opposite, this can actually make investors lose confidence in ico.

The other problem is that there is not much variety any more as all of these ico's offer the same thing. To attract investors it needs to be a stand out project that hasn't been done before

Thats why there is now initial exchange offering , lets say if a project do IEO on binance it will probably sell out pretty fast :) But ICO's is past now i think , there is some projects that achieve good results with just ICO , but if you take a look then now most projects (good ones ) do Initial exchange offering on exchanges . Thats what currently attract investors

ICO investmens are too risky. People has lost great money with ICO's. However, even in this poor situations, some ICOs managed to stand up. All ICOs, like all of us, are waiting for the crypto bull.

I noticed that kind of IEO also. But not all are lucky in IEO. I've known one project doing their IEO not in binance and they hardly sell. Maybe, it depends on the exchange also. Since binance is one of the top exchanges and with higher volume than others, partnership with them is one sure thing.

In 2018 many Ico which came were scam so people are nowadays staying away from it . Many did not got listed so people’s money is stuck . Also 2018 saw the decline in prices drastically which addded more wound and thus people want to skip this now .

I can't understand your question, what does mastah means? matter? But let me give my opinion regarding this matter, ICOs are no longer the option of the investors. First, many have been a victim of scams so they no longer trust these ICOs whether it be from legit companies, start ups or new projects. And lastly, the market is on that lowness so they mostly think that it's insufficient to invest with these ICOs now a days so that would result into less interest for ICOs.

In my opinion there many factors that make less interest about ico. First the current market condition, look eth price around $2000 early 2018 now just around $150 and surely it will make investor more careful about their investment. Second because too many scam ico nowaways. Combine first factor and second factor surely will make an investor more strict to invest into any project.

I think this year the ICO project is not as popular as last 2017, because there are many cases of ICO fraud that are rampant this year, so Investors stay away from ICO and switch to investing in coins that have been registered in exchange.

The loss of trust with a number of projects that have done before, from that experience, investors made an decision that the ICO no longer give a good profit as 3 or 4 years before. I also hope that someday there will be an ICO part 2.

You're definitely wrong at this, I think this is the only method how crypto or new projects can acquire funds. Tell me, if youre a new project, what will you do to raise fund? Ask for sponsor? How, unless you can prove that your project is legit and has potential. STO is just a new concept of public offering but it can be considered still as ICO even the IEO that are now rising. Both same.

Simple reasons if you think about it. ICOs are mostly selling stupid ideas, zero products,,, now people understand this so they will never give money anymore to ICOs with promises to build things from nothing. And as you delve deeper, you find even worse things. ICO people are all sales people. So few real developers. They hire a few good ones who build the product from existing code, then they demand big salaries. When there is no money the developers do not work and leave.

Stick to non ICOs.

if it is from mid-2018 and until now many investors are not interested in investing in the ICO anymore because there are already many investors who have been harmed by ICO

I think this is the impact of the low level of trust in ico, there are many ico that fail after high sales. and at the end of entering the exchange the price dropped very low and most became shitcoin.
this becomes a dilemma especially in prolonged levels of decline and correction.

I think that all happened because investors are still focusing on current market conditions and I am sure that when market prices recover, ICO will also be in demand by investors. because after I observe ICO it is very dependent on market conditions.

It gonna make sense only if we could see that ICO is really profitable and have a working product already, this could give assurance for everyone and don't feel any worries for the possibility of losing our money in one day. As crypto rely on the market demand, it definitely ICO's are also relying on investors trust. That's why they ensured that everything will be fair both side and for the success of all parties.

These are valid reasons that exist today. You will not constantly step into a hole in which you don’t want to fall, because you can simply damage your health. Therefore, investors do the same. I think that's ok.

now it is very difficult to be able to convince investors to support the ICO because we all know lately even though the ICO project succeeded in achieving the target, but they always failed after being registered with the exchange and I think it was very detrimental to the ICO investors and supporters. so now investors are very careful when choosing an ICO project.

I cannot agree with you, because there is enough interest in good project. All ICOs that were launched on Binance ended within several minutes and are now traded by around X5 from the ICO price.

It is only the matter of time, when investors will start to pay ICOs. Due to the poor market conditions, they do not want to risk their funds, they are holding and waiting for the market situation improvement to start.

It is not "less interest" into the ICO's we have today, it is "smarter investment" to search for the real deals and not invest into shady ones. Last year when ICO's were a big deal people invested into all kinds of ICO's and many of them just took the money and left, there were even joke ICO's that mocked this situation and actually made money from it.

So, people are not less interested in them, they are just not investing into silly ones or shady ones or the ones that are obvious scammers, they are researching the ICO's well now and only invest into ones that look to be legit and promising. We are only at 30% or so from last year, I know %70 drop seems a lot but considering how much all other coins dropped I think interest towards ICO's did not dropped that much.

The cause of this is bad reputation fake project has given when crypto was booming in 2017/2018, scam ico ran away with a lot of investors money and the fear of being scam again has been instilled to the mind of prospect investors coupled with current market condition.

I also believed that the ICO market is already going down, by anytime I see statistics of ICO from ICO review website, I begin to wonder if it's truly going down or it's going up because the total funds raised by ICO is even now more than what used to be raised in 2017.

I don't know if there is more more funds now raised in ICO because people still love to invest in ICO or ICO raise such money because we now have a lot of ICO compared to what we had in 2017 when the ICO move just began.

ICO is indeed not a good way to make money in crypto. Many ICOs die and become scams so that many investors feel disadvantaged, so it is only natural that ICO is less attractive to investors. Almost all ICO projects are scam and only a few and even rarely can succeed, so investors prefer to avoid rather than have to lose. So that the cause of ICO is not expected by investors because it is better to invest in definite crypto rather than investing in ICO.

Most investors have been victims to scam ICO's and are hence not interested any longer in ICO investment. Apart from that, several other ICOs hit the market at a far lower pice than the ICO price and so investors turn to lose their money.

Currently It is very difficult to attract investors to invest in ICO, many ICO become scam and make investor affraid  to invest. Only really good projects can succeed and achieve hardcap, but that is also very rare.

Investors interest in ICO decreased significantly after the number of fraudulent projects began to prevail over the number of successful projects. In addition, the fees of ICO projects leave much to be desired and STO comes to replace them. STO has a chance to become a full-fledged replacement and send ICO to rest.

I understand that investors are now, cautions of investing into cryptocurency projects because of incessant scams and their emptiness in promises and now seek a more reassuring way to secure their funds through STOs

How many ICO's failed? I guess that is very much. Many investors re-elect bitcoin and ethereum for their investment places, because they have a stand by choosing bitcoin or ethereum they won't have a great deal of worried when prices decline. Unlike the ICO, as good as the ICO concept they have then the possibility of a failed is very wide open, many factors that cause the ICO to fail, such as the reduction of bitcoin or cryptocurrency prices as a whole will make every investor decide to move back his intention to invest in ICO.

Yes, the actual market situation is still not encouraging so many new comers to start investing in ICO projects actually, because the risk is higher than the few previous years, and nowadays there are a lot of scams and the number of promising ICOs is really limited.

It is difficult to say whether they bring proper profit to the project, which is carried out by the ICO. But I don't think that's true anymore. Now the teams are forced to look for a sponsor for their project, because ordinary investors no longer trust new projects. However, there are exceptions. I myself have met some projects that look very promising.

Patience and investor confidence ends. Fraudulent projects grow like mushrooms and become widespread. For ico, it is a disease that needs to be addressed. If nothing is done with this, it will adversely affect the cryptocurrency as a whole.

The poor condition of the crypto market requires investors to always be careful, especially when investing in ICO projects. Because many investors have suffered huge losses when investing in ICO projects, poor market conditions have caused many ICO projects to fail.

icos are having tough times due to most of the coins are downtrend but ico business model is still  hot selling model in crypto for fundraising so we can relay on the business model

I don't think I'm interested, but I don't want to invest in Iico. too much ico does make them confused about what is good. plus not a few scam projects and failed to reach the softcap. so many of today's investors have more than not invested in ico to minimize the risks that exist today.

Investors are being biased about most icos because of scam icos and also investors want to invest in a coin that makes money. That's why investors interest is less to buy ico.

Because at the moment many investors are concerned about the fraudulent project, when the electronic money market is bad, buying ICO will lead to no profit when trading on the exchanges.

There concern is the market status more in general than these scams.
It's true that there are scams but we have good platform now that supports good ICO, they can invest on that by using the platform.
Most scam ICO are not listed in this forum, so a good way to find good ICO is to be in this forum and read the feed back of the members.

By joining this forum you will find quality and potential ICOs, so you can avoid deception. But investors are still reluctant to invest with a variety of reasons, especially the market that runs slowly, even traps often occur. We can understand what happened and we indeed remain vigilant for all forms of fraud, investors may be more interested in holding and playing on the market than investing in an ICO with a higher level of risk.

The decrease in interest is because some people only wanna make easy gains and now they are gone, probably burned.

Maybe because the market conditions that have not been stable have an impact on ico too, so many investors are also reduced, hopefully the future for ico will be improved and will develop better so that more investors will be involved in it.

that is certain, ico is no longer a place to look for profit. the project failed, scam projects and the number of shit coins made investors no longer interested in ICO

Less and more less investors are buying fake and scamy ICOs which I thing its a very good decision ,the more this happens the better ,sooner or later what will remain in ICO world will be only the legit projects ,it means investors are learning and not blind investing anymore

Scam projects ruined the future of ICOs so for now people are afraid to invest on the new legitimate projects as well .

Just like everything under the earth, everything has its own season the season of ICOs have come and gone. The long bearish year saw to its ends. If the surge from January 2018 continued, ICOs won't be dead.

Yes, it is true that ico is now not in line with their targets, this is because there are many scammers who are constantly why investors do not glance at the ico anymore because even though they have reached the target, after entering the exchange the price does not match and the price falls 10x.

Many new ICO has emerged and many are also ICO frauds. So that these investors lost confidence in the ICO project. In addition, the condition of the Crypto market declined, so many investors left the Crypto market.

It must be the effect of those many scam project that keep appearing, and many investor also get the affect of it. because some of the investors also get scammed by those fake project.

    That`s just one of the effects. I think there are too many, people don`t have money to invest in everything. In same time you can choose
to invest in top coins, it`s not so risky investment like in something new.
    Main reason is that there are too many ongoing ICO`s. Crypto-community is not so big to handle all that alone. You can notice that some ICO`s
raised a lot of money, some almost nothing. It`s moving, but it`s hard to find investors this days, most of the people stick with top coins and investments
in top coins.

Both of them have become investment favorites at this time where people are very interested in investing in both coins which have a high enough volume and also a very large influence when experiencing an increase or decrease

Many ICO projects cannot reach Soft Cap sales and this is certainly very worrying. This condition is inseparable from the weakening of crypto market prices. In addition, there are so many new projects that have emerged, so that these investors seem to be divided and competing.

ico scam is the main factor for investors to stop investing inico. Nowadays, there are a lot of investors who choose safe roads by chasing their assets rather than investing in ico, which will only make a loss. so I think that scam is what causes doubts for investors

not all ICOs are scam, if I think you can also invest in ICO, before you make an investment, I think you also know and also have research that ICO is still worth investing in the long term. so you also won't lose your money.

I agree that investors have lost interest in ICO. All scammers in an easy way are trying to deceive inexperienced investors and they are led to it. And more experienced investors bypass such projects and avoid scam.

Less interest from investor because many factor. Beside market condition, too many scam ICOs in market in 2018 and its affecting investor confident. In bearish market, investor prefer wait and see and not making more investment and its happen in ICOs too

Investors are skeptical now about ICOs. Many have been burned badly in 2018. Several investors have been rekt because of crypto investments. So I can't blame anyone of they prefer to avoid ICOs after that

The current situation is that most investors are still interested in ICO's investment, because the previous losses, now they are very cautious when making investments.

Having many ICOs is still very good in the long term. And if you want to invest in ICO, you should think that you are investing long-term because after being listed in exchange. Certainly, the price of ICO will fall because of this market's influence

The ICO business has came to an end or finished right now. If you check in 2018 more than %80 ICO projects turned scam somehow. Millions of investor lost their money and there were no turning back. You can't complain to some where when you got scammed on web. So people have no beliefs to ICO's anymore.

ICO's are fading fast, and losing it's investors only hardcore ICO investors will invest in ICO and I doubt if any ICO can reach hardcap now, even great project can't reach hardcap, some ICOs are now faking their hardcap so they can deceive investor that their ICO is a success.

Im agreed with your point that investors are investing less in ICO’S, I think the main reason is bearish market which is not favor able for ICO’S.
But now market is trying to re bounce, so investor will also come back & they will invest in ICO’S with major investment.

indeed for this year investors have less interest in investing in ICO because ICO is not like last 2017, so ICO enthusiasts have indeed been reduced by fraud and many projects have failed as well

In myself, I don't believe that there is a war between ICO investors and the ICO itself, I can say that the investors are having rest in terms on investing in newly published ICOs or active ICOs for the reason that there are too much scammers nowadays and also because of the situation of crypto markets which is bearish.

Crypto is currently unpredictable and most investors are currently retreating from investing first. because the crypto situation was not good and it made investors very doubtful.

It is not that the investors would not invest into the crypto markets again but they would only invest into the project they feel profitable.

There are no rules and regulations in terms of ICO sales which does not secure the investors and once they lost their money, there is no chance to recover that so most of the investors have stopped playing risky. ICO markets would shut down after few more months because none of the peoples are interested in trusting them again.

so that means it's the same as lacking interest. not as before, investors were very careful when choosing projects. Plus, they will not invest in large amounts because they think they are too risky.

The bear market made the condition more worse for the status of crypto currency holders so they have no other options than just stuck with their coins until it gets high price.

ICO was a very promising direction, because the projects were very promising. Now there are very few normal projects, so the popularity of ICO has fallen sharply. Perhaps after solving the question of how to get rid of scammers, the situation with the ICO will also become much better.

in order to get rid of the fraudsters in the market of its companies, it is necessary to establish some kind of authority that will exercise control. But this is not so easy to do. Of course, each of us understands that it is the presence of an investment during the game of the company that speaks about its possibilities for real development. and today investors already prefer to buy much cheaper coins on stock exchanges .

Investors aren't as active as they used to be because now there are so many similar projects and ICO, and  have appeared many scam projects.
I'm amazed at the courage of those people who take risks and continue to invest in the conditions of instability of the cryptocurrency market

Once bitten, twice shy. That is the situation with ICO investors. I do not blame those who shy away from participating in ICOs after what became of ICOs generally since 2018. It is majorly now an easy route to scam.

Do not see it as a scam trigger, no one blamed about scam projects to ICOs before the STO. This is just a way for the SEC to take control. Now we ca not move without KYC.  :-\

they also avoided because there was a reason, if the ICO could still run well and profitably, of course they would not leave the ICO.
if the ICO has been upgraded and improved, of course they want to join the ICO, but now there are many ICO scams and other things that cause people to be afraid to join the ICO.

Market conditions affect many things, including ICo. The saturated market makes investors look for other strategies and safe ways to safeguard their assets. While the risk of loss is even greater in this volatile market. So, the interest in Ico also diminished.

Automatically the amount of interest on investment in the field of ICO will be produced while it was not in a good flow and good valuable situation and lots of scam will came through this field in this situation so people will not ready to take the riskiest decision again once

What makes ICO being rejected these days would be because all of the fake ICO creating a waves of trust breaker that makes many investors avoiding cryptocurrency because they don't wanted to get scammed by those fake ICO.

Well, if you have lost the money in it, you never want to invest it again, anyway, there are so many fraud and scam project in this moment, and still have the law can protect the investors, I think no one interesting invest it now.

I agree with you that ICO is no longer good now, STO and IEO are new ways to raise funds and most projects that are really good they hold STO or IEO and ICO now only for shit projects

It's become quite or almost impossible to detect the scam projects instantly many of them disguise themselves that they're so real to be fake but they turn out to be scam at the end of the day.

Number of ICO investors is decreasing very quickly just because quality of ICO projects are very terrible these time. You should know that it's almost impossible to find out a good ICO project at this time while ICO project quality also affected by bearish market. But for now I think investors are paying their attention at STO, a new investing way.

Because of the attacks on the new market, the arrival of unreliable companies, high expectations of new investors, the instability of funds has become less. And even good projects can fail. In the usual market, investments are almost all long-term projects. And there were more enthusiasts than professionals. Need to learn.

It's not STO and it's IOE. IOE is a kind of ico that already listed on the exchange which the exchange site has applied verification and that makes a lot of investors are feeling comfortable about that.

Investing in the ICO project is currently a concern, there are a lot of failed projects in 2018 and this is an indicator that most investors must be careful in choosing the investments they will make. So now investors have to be more selective in making their choices, this is what makes investing in the ICO project less passionate.

For now, I believe that number of ICO investor will increase day by day because Binance, the best crypto exchange, is also listing ICO project and investors can buy ICO token/coin on Binance at crowdsale period. Beside, I think all token from ICO project which listed on Binance will also be listed on Binance to trade so a lot of investors will pay attention to these projects.

I think it's because of the investors think ICO is not profit anymore like the old time 2-3 years ago. Most of ICO nowdays are from a repeated project. Also the crypto market condition that makes investor won't invest their coins to ICO.

This has indeed happened some time ago where enthusiasts from ico are decreasing due to a decrease in the quality of the ico projeck and also, among other things, the reason is the large number of scam projects

That's what I said before, that investors are still hesitant to invest in ico. Because there were many ico who disappointed investors. Maybe that's the reason why many projects don't reach their targets. Or there are other reasons. Can be added here.

Indeed, ICO has not been profitable, but it is very worrying, a lot of fraud and this makes many investors traumatized and afraid to lose the umpteenth time. Anyone who has ever been fooled will go and look for new things that are safer and more profitable.

ICO this days have not been profiting and at that many investors now prefer to invest in other investment means rather then investing in ICO and this have affected the ICO market negatively and this is as a result of the so many failed icos and the various sxams that have taken place in the past.

most ICOs are only garbage tokens when they are registered in the market and this makes investors less interested in ICO. besides that ICO now only thinks of investors to be interested but not with its development and this is a fatal mistake. ICO development must also be balanced with sophisticated technology so that tokens are not easily dumped.

Now is not a good time for investors to invest in ICO projects while the market has many fraudulent ICO projects, many ICO projects have taken away money from investors and Investors almost lost faith in ICO

On the other hand, most "investors" into ICOs are also garbage speculators who are only interested in making a quick buck. If they are a bit more educated and know how to make some deductions then okay, market cap, token economics and what not are of interest to them. But the average investor doesn't care about actual tech or even plan to use these coins. So once the profit potential goes, so does the invest potential.

They wont really able to hit up even their softcap. Investors nowadays do really already hesitate to put up money due to scam projects plus on the current
market condition where we are still on a bearish trend. Even the project is good or having true potential it is tied up with most projects to fail.

I think it is a downturn in the market, which has caused many people to lose confidence in the ICO project. In order to avoid losses, they will choose not to participate in the ICO project.

The reputation of ICOs nowadays are not that really good. As a matter of fact, as I've observed right now, they were having a hard time at distributing their tokens. I mean, the market is eventually bad for the longest time and they tend to extend their private or pre ICO sale. Their target is hardly reached because of this market's situation.

After the bull run came in 2017, most of the ICO’s were been filled up to their hard cap but later on as the price started going downwards, peoples started having less faith into the ICOs which was later been broken by a number of projects which ran away with the funds collected from the investors.

From that time, ICO markets started down rising and investors only started to invest into the projects which already were running solidly which made other projects fail.

Well this is indeed the case lately where there are many people who experience mistrust of the current Iico project because there are so many failed ico lists and scams that make investors judge that the current ico is not good to invest.

It should be no interest from my side for investment and the ICO again because it could be a huge drop down from this current situation so trusting it again once will not be right and good move for any investors to take risk again so I am not ready to invest in it again.

I think the current state of the ICO is not the same as it used to be. because the current ICO situation is quite difficult to estimate. the problem is that the ICO is currently pretty much scamming so ICO investors are sometimes also complicated.

Well, investors are not capable of investing because they hold tokens that are down by 70+ per cent  ;D. Jokes aside, hype is over and people do not trust unknown developers who have just released a document promising a great ROI. The sphere is getting attention from more reliable firms and STOs are much more common. It is the most healthy and natural transformation towards the future ;).

Of course you have to think again if investors buy ICO because there are many things that need attention, maybe if the ICO can still be profitable and there is no ICO fraud, maybe investors will start again at the ICO.
than they are big losses so they better stay away from ICO before everything is updated which can make ICO better.

I agree with the opinion that ICO is no longer a good source of money for developers. Now the most fashionable trend is STO and I think that all its power will be able to open only when the market starts to grow.

Throughout 2018 market prices have fallen very far. So that it has an impact on the ICO coin which also collapses. So many ICO projects failed and worse was the increase in ICO fraud. So that most investors are afraid and no longer invest in the ICO.

Agree with you, with the bad price of this cryptocurrency market at the moment, we can't imagine the bright future of ICO will recover on this year. I think if you want to invest in ICO, please wait to the next year 2020 when the market improves and get better.

These ICO conductors will never stop looking for quick ways to earn money from crypto. Now, the attention seems to move from ICOs that are conducted on the project's platform to the one where the tokens are sold on an exchange for investors to buy. In either case, I think it isn't a god investment strategy because the tokens can be sold far less than the price it is currently been sold because no one sells in addition to them.

Most of the ICO we are having are fake and I don't think anyone will want to invest his or her money in something you know that will not bring you profit.

Thats true. If you want to invest you should wait until the market condition get better. Current situation i am not invest in ICO because i do not see any good ICO.

I think you are looking for projects very bad. There are a lot of good projects now. just need to learn how to search.

It seems to me that the conclusion suggests itself by itself. Today there is a chance for people to begin to understand the meaning. Today, because of the huge number of scam projects, there is a really big chance to lose all that is left. Now we just need to endure.

Most of those who burned from investing in ICO do not want to repeat the mistakes. In addition, the number of useless projects is growing nonlinearly every day. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to choose. The market is already overwhelmed with junk coins. An investor is forced to look for other strategies and safe ways to protect their assets.

Because many investors lost their money, lot of money in dead and scam ICOs from last year.
And the market condition is not getting better, makes peoples left cryptocurrency.
Now, only the real and solid ICO project will be success to raised enough funds.

I thought they were not dead, they only decided to hold their assets longer and wait for the market to return. it makes trading on the market decline. they also don't want to lose, I guess. when the market returns, the invoice will return.

Its because of the investors has lost their trust to the most of the ICO.

Indeed now investors are greatly reduced in terms of ico. For some reason it might happen. One of them is mostly ico scam. Of course investors now have to be careful before investing in ico. Because this is related to losing money. Therefore, most ico are now less desirable.

even I was once an investor in ICO and now I am not interested in ICO, the percentage I earn profit from ICO is very low and the percentage of me meeting the scam is very high ,  that is a general psychology of participants in this market

Yes, so many negative thing on ICOs makes investor don't want to spend their money again to ICO but there is a new thing on Binance, where you can launch an ICO on binance and i saw most of ICO on binance are really successful, most of them are sold out, maybe it's the new era for ico.

Yes, many even tried. I have stopped buying ICOs for more than six months now. The loss and deceit from many projects team is just too much. It will be very hard for ICOs to gain the confidence of investors again and I think this will only be possible if a system is put in place to protect the interest of investors.

Most of them are manipulated by the developer that's why the customers or the investors are not pretty damn trust the developer anymore.

I tell you, many are still willing to invest on ICOs provided the project has a working product. The investors need to be more convinced that the members of the team or devs are not just out there to squander the innocent people's money. Because to make the money is usually not that easy. So everyone is being more careful to invest but people are still investing on blockchain and making profits till tomorrow.

well, for now, that can't be avoided. we know that many previous ICOs were scams, and disappointed investors. for now, the development of ICO is still continuing, even the IEO has also been there to cover up the ICO shortcomings and make investors more confident.

The answer to your question is obvious. Obviously, the main reason for this is because of the idea that bitcoin is a bubble. Most ICOs are scams. And also, the big fall of cryptocurrency.

Soft cap is hardly touched by now because no investors are coming to cryptocurrency because of those reasons stated above. Probably I think that if bitcoin might recover, there could be a time for ICO to be recognized again by many investors.

investor tired be scamed or loss their money in crypto
ico not really good way to get money in crypto now , they prefer to to daily trading

ico is not not expected, but the market situation that has not improved can affect the interest of investors to invest in the ico project. there will be a time when the market will improve, of course investors will invest again with ico, essentially they will understand what they have to do when the market is in a bad condition.

Yes, there are many negative issues related to ICOs currently. Scams, failed projects, less quality product, unprofessional teams, and worthless tokens are happening repeatedly on ICOs. I assume people are afraid and traumatized to put their money there.


I know about it, but I don't want to conclude too early about the success of ICOs on Binance. I think it needs time to prove to the public.

I think the less amount of interest will be enough for the ICO in this situation because we have a lots of confidence about the investment from the previous year but most of the time it will not helpful for us so again trusting only something will not be a good idea.

They afraid to be scammed and doubt their investment can grow after invest on ICO. Also many people already know the current crypto condition is not good and too risky. That's why many people prefer not to invest on ICO...

Not to all ico projects.  Investors now consider the usecase of any project before going into it. Time are gone when people just into any project they see just because it's a cryptocurrency. This show improvement in the crypto space so that many this spammers will not have too many options

ico investment not worthed anymore in their opinion.they prefer to buy existing coins , especially major coins that maybe give them certainity.existing coins had been developted and ofcourse it will make traders and investors comfortable.

due to many scam ico project nowadays, of course making lost interest to coming ico project sales, but hope this will end soon, when regulated and bull run coming, lots of investor will show again.

ICO so far still difficult to determine on which among of them are legit or not. If ever there is a legit one the problem which I found was the allocation budget for the campaign was too small were sometimes its very deceiving. From this time around we really need to be wise to choose if we are one of the investors in choosing the good ico. Although, there are lot of investors got disappointed in it.

There should surely be some ICOs worth investing into to support a specific cause.

How do you choose what initial coin offering to invest in?

please suggest..

maybe now we have solution to find good ico in market.since exchanges launched their ico pad , it will be our advantages.exchanges review about ico maybe better than another site.take example at binance launched pad.their ico already success after listing in market.

Yeah definitely true, investors who plans to join in an ico now makes less profit or even deficit upon entering into ico now, some also expects their ico project to be unsuccessful. Even a successful ico now makes war between investors because of the unwanted reasons and dump prices after listing. By this, it could result to less participants of investors joining ico now.

The hype of 2017 is makes big impact to 2018. Last year was worst thing happen to cryptocurrency. The price is falling and scam projects increased extremly high. Maybe because of that investor now not interest about ICO anymore. But there is few project still can collect their softcap

Many legit projects these days are affected and experience difficulties in achieving their hard cap qouta because of scam ICO's,that's why many investors now lost their interest in investing in a ICO's due to the many scam projects which is now spreading to victimized many investors and also this is the reason why some legit projects is now failure in the ICO they do.

in my opinion, the reason is because lately there have been a lot of ICO scammers and also not valuable when they entered the exchange. As a result, investors experience a lot of losses, making them afraid of experiencing the same thing at the new ICO.

there are many things that cause investors to lack interest in buying at ICO and not only because there are many scammers but many other things that cause investors to be less interested, one of which is a very high failure rate because there are many ICOs who fail despite getting high enough funds and that is usually because the team cannot develop the project due to unstable market conditions.

There are many reasons of less interest of investors to put money in new ICO's as lots of ICO's failed in last one year and many others closed due to insufficient fund collections and investors lost lot of money due to all these things and they are not not taking any interest to put money before the revival of this market and stability of this market.

Most of the real ICOs are even finding it hard to reach their soft cap target not to talk of hard cap because of some of the point you mentioned here, I think the best way for them to reach their target now, provided they are solid projects is to first of all run it through ICO first, then whatever money they get through ICO, they can use the remaining one to register for IEO.

At least it will be lot easier to meet their target when they go through exchanges, it will make the project faster and campaign also faster, most hunters that has already worked till the point they left ICO will be paid on time and easily.

Yes with the presence of many fake ICO the investors are always at the receiving end they lose much money in previous ICO which never ended well and this has breed discouragement to them, most investors have moved to sto because it has a more reliable process.

I do not think it is a war, it is a reality that Investors are no longer interested in icos
Yes i mean ICOS, investors now take their time to find out basic information and importance of respective projects.

then they wrap up support for such tokens or project in the pre sale level. This ensures quick growth, little tokens for sale at ico and better sustainance of price and value

you can bring to my notice if i am wrong.

We have seen a drastic drop of investors in the ICOs it is all because of several scam projects as well as long bearish market even very rare ICOs are achieving their soft caps or hard caps nowadays. Now condition is like most of the investors are afraid to loose the money in ICOs. I believe to revive the ICOs market again there must be some regulation in ICOs to gain the confidence/interest of investors again.

It has become pretty difficult because of several reasons. First of all, the market is overwhelmed with scam projects and people have lost trust in ICOs, but the modern IEOs are recovering the hope for great projects that are able to give profit.

Especially if we think about the ICO problems we experienced in the past months and if we think that these projects no longer win in the current market conditions, we can understand why this interest is decreasing. Although there are very few projects that attract little and no interest, I can easily say that even high quality projects do not satisfy the investor and even the projects of high quality team members cannot collect a serious financial power. Even if we think that this market is used for bad purposes, the investor moves with fear and we can imagine why projects that could be successful or even projects using good technology failed in price.

Because it all boils down to profits. ICO investors will not care even if their token does not increase 2x when listed because as long as it touches the ICO price, they still get profits. It will make them continue investing again in some ICOs that has a decent project and offer ridiculous bonuses because that is where they can at least continue to get their roi but it barely happen anymore.

That is the most reason why investors are afraid to invest in ICO again. They are trauma because of many ICO get scam in the middle of their project. But I am sure that soon, many new investors will invest in new projects and the new trend of ICO will come and replace the old trends. Soon, we will see a massive investor will come to the crypto, and they are ready to invest their money.

According to the exchange market in recent days, most of the price of the altcoin is rising, and I think it is worth investing now.

so many scamer use ICO project right now, so I think investor don't want lose money. and now, we can see new future from token sale crypto, do you know about STO?, investor very interesting with this new token sale.

It's really surprising there are new ICO's coming out, but the majority of them cannot even reach their soft cap even if they have 70 to 100 days to sell their coin, these people are just here to scam people, take a look at Restoken who run away with investors money and those ICO that paused their project but lock the funds of early investors.

Investors want to buy token when listing tokens to exchangers rather than buy ico because of less expensive token prices and when exchangers have fallen in price since In rush selling they would rather buy the exchanger cheaper they cost and sell. they increase the price The best out there today is that they are hard on achieving the softcap if investors do not trust their project so if they have a plan company that releases ico is sure it is attractive and legit to succeed.

Actually pick ICO must still be careful too. Because not all developer success when they launch in market. And some ICO that we think not really can realized, is something that we need to avoid. But it is depend on what type of that investor is.

It is true that ICO format of fundraising is not effective today, some projects still use it, but many top projects now chose to collect funds through IEO as they automatically get listed on the exchange.

The reason behind the investors who avoiding making investment in the current ICO would be because of so many scam ICO being created.
That makes every investors hesitate to making an investment.

Well, so many investors choose to go for STOs, because they are regulated, but I have also seen some good numbers of ICOs that are also regulated and investors do not have to panic , owing to the fact that their investments are safe.

I agree, but very few of the projects will be able to go to the ieo, you need to have a very strong team, I think only the top exchanges will collect hardcap ! and the rest little that gather on ieo

This is really happening, as time passes ICOs are waning in the market, it's less beneficial after acquiring tokens and it takes more risk from investors than the other way around. This will continue to happen as the volatility of the market goes higher and the spontaneity of the predictability of its value continues to diminish. The only reason left to continue investing in ICOs is that the reasons to participate in token sales remain the same, and this is true specially with all the emerging ICOs that has a lot of potential, like Bitrus (BTRS) and Files.FM.

I think naturally if this happens, the thing that makes investors afraid to invest in the ICOs is that there is a lot of news that ICO is a scam, even various media say more than 90% of ICO is a scam.

I see some of the ICO are just money taking and not minding the productivity of the project this resulted to a less interest of investors. I would like to know where to find the ICO you give above? So i can check it.

All of this because of the ICO scammer because if they did not scam people and they use their skills to help us or the investors for sure everything will be okay. ICO now did not reached even the soft cap becaude they did not want to take a risk anymore to the ICO because they really cause for them to lose their money so instead of investing they holding their coins only and wait to increase and to earn some profit even a little.

as works with the developer to gives of chance on clients to helps with tasks on casuals with the attains on field of her business then work on purchase to improve limit of expectation with the challenge on merchantile to collect with shifts of difference on exchange.

The fight ends when the project has a product. As soon as the project has a ready-made, developed solution, it receives from x10. All other projects are just a nuisance.

Good to know you are interested on those ICO, you can check their ICO pages and website here Bitrus -> BITRUSexchange (http://mkt.bitrus.com/signup/?utm_source=crowdcreate&utm_medium=agency&utm_campaign=btrs_ico&utm_content=kickoff) , FILES.FM -> https://files.fm/ (https://files.fm/)

People are afraid and traditional methods of attracting people to invest in any project are not working anymore. Thats why the current trend are the IEOs, because such a method directly guarantees an exchange listing.

yes, we must know that the development of the ICO is currently deteriorating and that is very doubtful for investors. but for me ICO still has a future. even though it is currently getting worse. we need to believe that the development will change soon, every development.

Because many projects have been Scam, investors have taken very high precautions, because they do not want to lose money, it is normal that the flow of ICO projects have been falling, because now the investigations that must be done are very exhaustive and have to demonstrate that they are legitimate.

Since there are many projects, new regulations have been born, some have become STO, other projects have been maintained, but most are being required to have a series of legal documentation, this will guarantee the execution of the project once. have achieved the total collection.

Currently, I think that due to the new rules, the ICO or STO process will start again its great aunge, bringing new ways of progress through technology, this is a technology that is very high, but that is already in improvements to guarantee the financial security of the investors.

If a project is good to solve problems people are facing in the market and if people are willing to pre-order your service before it is even introduced in the market, your ICO will flourish and will make you money. But if not so, you cannot get the funding and this is the reason many of the ICOs are loosing the survival opportunity because they do not interest anyone. And the general trend about ICO being a scammer has made people curious to think twice before investing.

I think by looking at what happened lately, many investors will be more careful before deciding to invest in ICO because they don't want to get scammed. And I think investors don't want to get a loss and they will choose to observe the market and wait for the right time to start investing again.

Indeed, today many investors do not want to participate in ICO, because many projects are fraudulent and the market is in a downward trend.

ICOs are not as profitable as they were before and this is the main reason investors are not  so interested in them IEOs are the new trend in investing.
The new model was introduced by Binance.

Maybe ICO has a strong rival now, IEO.
IEO has become very popular nowadays, after binance successfully made the IEO and succeeded in a short time.
but the interest in ICO is still large but it takes a long time to reach the softcap.

The smaller interest that people show today can be justified by a really large number of people. I think that all this is solely the result of loss of respect and reputation for cryptocurrency.

IEO's success showed market interest in investing in crypto assets at the early stages and revealed the main problem of traditional ICOs - the lack of investor confidence. If we upgrade the mechanism of participation in ICO using smart contracts by enabling participants to return their funds for a certain period of time, then ICO will again become mega popular and will have a positive effect on the cryptocurrency market.

we are suffering more dumps since last years making more investors desperate and quit their investment on cryptocurrencies. even today there are not much investors willing to comeback to crpyto market when it is too worse, that is why more ICOs are failing and loss more trust from investors.

This is a common thing not only for ICOs but also for STO projects. They are suffering to gain soft cap too. So, investors are not interedted in buying token/coin anymore, they are buying ETH, BTC EOS and others popular coin.

maybe investors already learn from the past, last year a lot of ICO project failed and didn't reach the soft cap
and now the trend changed
a lot of investors will invest their money to an IEO project my friend,, because now investors think if IEO is better than ICO

The soft-cap reached projects are not lucrative for investors too.IEO is a new tendency after the ICO model of token sales and the development of projects don't change after the IEO. The interest of investors is going down day by day, so the new invention is necessary in order to keep the cycle vigorous.

That is totally understandable, because people are tired of projects that are unable to secure their soft caps. Thats why the majority of community has switched to IEOs, because it is almost a guaranteed success by taking part in them.

Investors have lost their mind to invest in ICO and this is no longer the right time for investors to invest their shares in ICO at this time, even many ico are targeting to large but eventually run aground in the middle of the road not reaching softcap, this really should pay attention Because a lot of ICO scams have sprung up, I think investors have shifted to a new trend, IEO which can give them profits quickly

You may not earn at all IEO. You can increase your capital by participating in the IEO only on the top exchanges; on all other exchanges, the result of participating in the IEO can be the same as participating in the ICO, which even soft cap cannot collect. Therefore, the situation is not much different.

ico is in the saturation period, and investors have started to not be interested, because every time the token / coin listing on the market the price is always below ico and make investor loss their money

During ICO project story always occur, that is high risk taker in so many ICO by not meet up the target, which is known as soft cap, hence investing during ICO, which is known as Initial Coin Offering.

ico is now dead, I do not see investors in this area, now well raise funds ieo and if there is an opportunity you need to participate in them, there can be very good money.

Yes, that is the domino effect. When the market is saturated, price movements are very slow, the gap is too high, investors and traders don't want to take big risks. So, the price of tokens after listing in the market is difficult to develop, not in accordance with the ICO, which is why investor confidence has declined, so that many subsequent ICOs have failed.

You know that in a situation like the current market movements, the only thing the comes in investors' mind is to make the best moves ever. ICOs seem to lose its investors because it is less trusted due to how most of the past ICOs have become currently. Now that binance is successfully conducting IEOs, it will be difficult to raise something better than that.

The feasibility of ICO succeeding has seriously reduced, no wonder, they are now being replaced by IEO. Even with the advent of IEO, it's reputation should be highly protected, so that it should not also fall and fail like ICO has done.
If other form(s) of fundraising are working well for investors, they may not want to go the way of ICO.

Of course, in recent times, there have been paradigm shift in the interest and enthusiasm of investors towards ICOs. This is because a more structured method for token sales has come to displace it, the IEO. IEO is well structured and as it is hosted on an exchange platform, the investor is assured of the returns of the tokens unlike the ICO were the funds of investors are sent directly to the team where no tokens can be sent in case is a scam project.

That's why investors are now investing in IEO projects done by Binance cos they are 100% sure that any project done by Binance will turnout to be successful at the end  and it's legit

And you would still invest in ICOs if you knew the reality? It doesn't make sense, at least we (bounty participants) still have IEO projects which should be better, this is true only if the token sale takes place on a reputable crypto-exchange.

The number of ICO scam cases that occurred last year left many investors traumatized and no longer interested in investing in ICO and trying to switch to IEO. Besides being safer, IEO has the opportunity to provide profits to investors, especially if the IEO is organized by large exchangers.

Investors interest in ICO has declined considerably since last year. Of course, the main reason for this was that the number of scam ICOs and unsuccessful ICOs started to increase considerably. Therefore, investors not trusted ICO's. In addition, the number of ICOs that have been profitable due to the downturn in the market has decreased considerably. Because the price of the ICO token fell as soon as it was traded on the exchange. In this case, investors began to stay away from ICO. And now investors prefer IEO because they think it can be safer and more profitable.

Nobody wants to lose money when investing, so no one wants to invest in ICO. 100% of them will lose money, at this stage it is best to hold altcoin or invest in IEO

ico works well if the team can raise funds from investors.
if ico cannot reach the target set, they prefer to stop the project for a while until the team decides to continue.
Investors will be interested in developing good projects, quality products, transparency in real teams, and active teams in developing their projects.

In my opinion, for many investors different strategies are more interesting. For example, have you ever thought of investing? In my opinion, this is a great alternative of making profits

Good evening, mate. Yep, this is definitely a great alternative, however much here depends on your experience. Talking about me, I have tried investing. But this might be more difficult for other people

That's absolutely true. However I believe there are some platforms that help to get in deeper faster

You know what, I would say that probably an easier option is using some platforms that help. Kinda you just deposit money there and getting fixed profit. And as I know, the most advanced solution here is Hodium.com - heard of them?

To tell the truth, I haven't.. But you know, if the one is advanced, this is for sure a great option, even for experienced traders and investors. Automatization always helps and reduces risks

Fully agree with you. And yes, Hodium is very advanced. Hodium is a leading cryptoasset investment firm focused on professional trading, investing and portfolio management. The platform provides secure access and diversified exposure to the digital currency asset classes by connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of data, people and capital. But of course, better check out their website for more

Of course the main reason is bunch of shit project. Mostly ICO projects are worthless. No matter who you are you can run a ICO project and scam investor so in this point investor leaving ICO. Other hand you can see investor choose IEO project more than ICO because it's safe and they don't have to wait for exchange and profit form their investment. ICO will be dead soon or later because you don't want to invest your money on a shit project.

The main reason for ICOs to struggle to attract investors is the possibility that investors may get scammed in the name of ICO. There are many reports investors have been scammed in the name of ICOs. So IEO and STO have been born to replace ICO. IEO is becoming popular in the market lately. Hopefully, it will also do good in the future.

The problem of lack of interest from the method is due to many cases that make investors think twice and be careful. As in the case of a scam, a failed project, etc. Now what investors are interested in is safer, more profitable methods. Research becomes mandatory for investors before joining the project.

Right now it is getting impossible to predict the success level of any project, so you should better invest in 20 ICOs the same amount. This will diversify the funds and help to recover from major losses. Anyway, all big investors are only taking part in Binance IEOs.

Most of the investors now are more analytical in terms on where to put their money because for me the golden days of ICO way back 2017 more people are so crazy to invest their money in any ICO project because they think it will change their financial status in one single night after launching or get listed in exchange.

Though I agree with investors switching from ICO's to IEO's offerings but we can't call it safe since there's also scammers who are in the game using IEO's from small exchange, in some point it's much better to invest using IEO's as you mentioned that the results can be quicker to know, and most likely investors will see that point and choose this way of investing their money. There's a lots of projects out there and learning from the past experiences good investors will always seek for the best outcome of thier hard earned money.

More and more fake ICOs are confident of announcing their lies in the media. and as crypto users themselves many are already aware of it and many are not aware of this ICO. I think people's interest in ICO will continue to grow as long as the project offered is relevant and handled by a developer and team that is clear and has the appropriate experience of the project it self.

This is normal to happen in 2019. Every serious project will choose an IEO eventually, not an ICO, except if they have things to hide or if they just want to vanish with people's money when ICO finishes.

As an investor you have a better visibility via an IEO and you'll know from the beginning on which exchange the project will be listed on.

now ICO is already very difficult to attract the attention of investors, especially if it's a new project that has a team that is not so well known and has no partnership anywhere. I doubt that a project like that can touch SoftCap. for now, investors are more interested in IEO, it's just that not all IEOs can succeed, but IEO that has sales in well-known markets, or has a good team and concept has a greater chance than the new ICO.

Because lots of icos nowadays are just fake and wants to scam people, investors lost interest and trust on it. I think most people prevent from putting their money on icos and chose ieo because it's much safer and can get easy profit.

scam/fake ico are not the reason on why people lost interest investing on them but people do also change  . humans are known to be not contented on one thing , they loose interest on the existing things or they get bored so they try other new stuffs like ieo's or other new coins that has been released on the crypto market . ieo's are a good alternative to ico but they still arent safe  . there is no such thing as safe on investing , they can collapse anytime or they can be hack  . and there is no such thing as easy profit or easy money  . it all comes in a step by step slow process  .

ICO are not good anymore. Most of them are fake or scam. and also even the good one dumps after it was listed on an exchane. In fact you can buy the token on the market after the ICO on much more cheaper than its original value.

there are some people who are traumatized by following ico fraud, so that their capital is used up, there are also those who feel challenged in the cryptocurrency world, despite experiencing ico fraud but they are not traumatized and try IEO to get greater results. but I think many of the investors are waiting for the right moment to invest, of course they don't want to be careless anymore

generally new projects and old projects compete with each other in the crypto market and what determines the good or bad of a project is part of the project. such as developers, teams, advisors and other crew members. I see that it seems that investors are not currently interested in products but they are more concerned with developing projects in the market.

I sort of agree with the difficulty these days,,, I definitely am not parting with money so easily as before, but I wonder why people are still investing in the new ICO projects? I mean some still raise millions and still there are bounties and still hundreds of people participate.

Do they not get tired of all the same boring dumping results?

Investors are not stupid either, and they understand that now investing in cryptocurrencies and especially in ICOs is a huge risk, because the cryptocurrency market has fallen in many times and all cryptocurrencies have fallen because of this and many investors now don’t know how to return their investments to them, that's why fewer investors believe in cryptocurrencies with such a market, but there are still investors who prefer to invest in IEO better and get profit much faster and safer than in ICO.

the time in which everyone in search of fast wealth has blindly invested directly in all ICOs is long gone.
currently everyone is checking exactly whether the project will last in the long term.

and in addition, it was often cheaper to buy directly after the ICO than during the ICO. this also discourages investors.

different projects with use of offers on product and service might caught with interest from investors as developer to focus on decision with use of customs on project terms to follows of scheme of tasks of completion.

Investor trends for ICO are declining because of the presence of IEO, the number of scam projects certainly makes investors afraid to put money on ICO, maybe by 2020 there is no more ICO so devs. must be creative for the collection of money.

A lot of people lost money on ico. People no longer believe in ICO. Projects that are entering the market are dead.

Today's ICO is not trusted, Due to the fatal scam that happened in 2017 to 2018 and up to now. This is why ICOs are now having a hard time reaching their softcap. This is why investors are turning to the IEO because it is more stable and there is regulation.

I think the low interest in ICOs by investors is due to the reputation that ICOs have with scams.
The scam rate of ICOs is very high which is a turn off for investors.
This brought about the invention of IEOs which is an upgrade on ICOs and solves the problem of scam issues as the exchanges validate the legitimacy of the project.

Yep, I think its like 99% of those coming out or getting promoted right now have fake team and the websites contain plagiarized contents from previous ICOs. Most investors are losing money and spreading their bad experiences to other people that is why the interest has gone down.

first, because a lot of ICO failed
second, when an ICO reach the soft cap, investors should wait for long period time to trade their coin
i believe, because of both reason above, a lot of investors leave ICO my friend

Because since 2018, there have been already a lot of ICO that failed and people are getting bored because some of them are almost copycats of each other. Nowadays, it isn't enough that te project is catchy, famous or have good dev team. There are many investors that seek realistic deals in investment, not false promises. I really do hope that more unique projects will rise up once again. Also, I hope that scams that ruined the reputation of cryptocurrency will end or at least, reduced. 

ICO's reputation have plunged down because of scams and many failed projects. The market lost its hype because it's repeating all over again where the projects are getting public interest but lacks proper implementation of their goals and promise to the investors. The scams also did a number in the industry, causing negative trust to many good and legit projects as a whole.

Agree, ICO's reputation has become bad in the eyes of investors due to many scams that occur. IEO is an alternative for investors who want to invest in new projects and I think it is difficult to restore investor confidence in ICO if there are still ICO scams

It is true that there will always be competition between ICOs to attract investors to want to invest in the project, but at this time I think it is true that it is difficult to attract investors or you could say a project is difficult to achieve its softcap because maybe investors are more careful in taking decision because they never get a scam project so they don't want to rush in deciding to invest in an ICO project.

This time the market is not the same as before, when too many investors lost their money in other altcoins or ICOs, that's why they are very carefully when decide to invest in an ICO. All they need now this the money and ROI, then almost of them will choose IEO, when they are guaranteed the exchange on which the token will be listed which means they they can get back their capital faster.
