every single day ICO projects always appear with their respective advantages. but in fact, many are experiencing failure in the end. they just waste time and spend money to advertise? how about you're opinion ???

I suppose that it is self-regulating system. Moreover there should appear different kind of regulations soon. So this situation would change soon. I believe that in future there will be worldwide ICO regulation norms.

If you do not believe the ico, you dont have to invest anything. Market will find the middle point by itself. Nobody can stop any ico.

Yes free market will regulate itself. How many startups start everyday across the world and eventually fail? How many shitty kickstarter campaigns? Just go for the ICO's you believe in and dont bother with the rest.

It`s not a secret that 90% of ICO are SCAM / Unsuccessful project. Before invest - firstly explore team and white paper. If project is going to use escrow - it`s definitely positive sign.

To my mind that 95% or 98%. Is an escrow is always a good sign? May it be just a purchased person?

Me personally think that ICOs are really good. Sure we could use some regulation to hold scammers etc responsible for their actions. But overall, it drives competition and competition = better products.

I think the market will balance it out. We will see more failures, more self-regulation, more regulator actions, more scrutiny on the side of investors. At the end, ICOs will become more credible in general.

Agree there's too much low ICOs, but I think it'll be better eventually. Also at this point it's not difficult to identify a scam just by read about it.

you can not stop ICOs because they are like start ups most of them fails and few succeeds!

Stoping ICO is like stopping innovation!

Sometimes some ICO's are ending up failed, but it's not an enough reason to stop ICO's production. And in my opinion, we can't do anything about it, even if we sign a petition about stopping ICO still it won't do anything. Maybe you've seen already a campaign here about Stoping ICO's , they are encouraging people to sign their petition and if you really want to STOP ICO's, sign their petition then we'll see!  ;) But for now let's just choose wisely so we won't fail also.

You can't stop the train that falls into the deep. So just wait few years and ICO ecosystem will regulate itself.

In next few years, we will see more lawsuits to ICO founders (hello Tezos) and people will realize that ICO is not a holy grail.
Also, governments will regulate ICO too.

Oversaturation of ICOs is a self-correcting problem, people will stop sending their ETH to these projects at random and start being very choosy. You don't need 50m to start a project...people will start to realize that.

I dont think we should stop ICO, we need to think it other way because we cant just stop new ideas and new inventions (the real one)
We as the community has to decide the requirement for them to be able to start their own ICO, perhaps some legal review, background check and so on
That way we have already selected few real project, not only some shit dev team with their shitty idea and useless project

Now look who's talkin shit, man... You want to stop ICOs but right now you carry one in your signature. Honestly, just let them do their thing and you just do yours, man... ICOs are never really that bad as long as you know how to READ carefully and activate your NOOB-PROOF instincts.

Anyway, you may want to invest in Angel Token today so don't hesitate to visit their website... and one more thing, dude... don't be so sour, I am sure you haven't bought any ICOs in your life - so there is nothing to hate. cheers!

You can't stop ICO.
Countries can regulate ICO but it can't stop it.
Even with regulation there will always be illegal crowdfundings.
Don't be so sure they are wasting money on advertising, so far i haven't seen ico which hasn't raised at least money to cover advertising expenses.

This will never stop actually, because the ecosystem needs more real world projects that's why they appear here as ICO thins. They will keep going like this until we have a strict regulation about those fund raisers.

For that you should know that how to find the shit projects comes with the new ICO at the time. You will find the project details in the white paper release itself so you can analyze it to know more further. Check whether have bestest escrow in the project, check the blog and project leaders involved in this project.
These will give clear information to understand that this project move further and long lasting as taken it as bounty and new coin added to coinmarketcap.

I think you cant understand my statement! I hope a project ICO any a Regulation the ICO ecosystem  :)

it is the risk of the entrepreneurs and many of them struggling successfully in the sale of coin / tokens on the project but not a few also I think ico who appear to get a loss from the results of their efforts.

if they are wasting money on advertising it is a lesson for the team and evidence that new investors are more selective in ICO investments

I think so too. ICO is an opportunity to develop new promising projects that will give great benefit to humanity. Just need to carefully study the project before supporting it! Success will only receive the right ideas.         
         
         
         

I think that most governments will put a blanket on ICO's, some have even gone ahead with it and banned its citizens to participate in ICO's. Moreover as crypto matures with time most crypto investors will get smart enough to distinguish between real and fake ICO's.

Last time I do not participate in ICO. My experience shows not the stability of this sphere. I bought coins in one promising project, they promised dividends every week. However, soon changed the rules of the game. No payment to coin holders. I'm not disappointed. But I read a lot and look for potentially progressive ICO.

Sometimes I think that ICO investment is more like gambling than investment because basically we buy goods that have not got sale value, minimal analysis, and only rely on the hope that too grandiose / fortune fate ..
But if there is no ico I think the bitcoin price will not be high.

You think they should be stopped instead of improving, fixing and becoming better?

Developer can stop ICO. Sometimes there is an ICO that destroy itself if cap is not reached which means community don't like the project. In few countries, their government already banned an ICO.

In my opinion all the ideas that can transform humanity should transform into ICO indenpendent of value. The great difficulty is negative people, so we must study each project.

i do agree ico is unstopable. more ico means more business wanna try blockchain to develop their own business. its a good news for allof cryptocurrency investor. that means cryptocurrency are used and develop

You can't stop it, even regulators can not stop it. People themselves are the only ones feeding this system, so the initiative has to come from them.

That's a free market, and in a free market, people who don't listen learn from mistakes.

Some companies are starting their ICOs because it's a good way of gathering funds besides from finding stock investors. ICOs are good for gathering funds because a lot of people even if it's small or big can contribute in the project. Maybe someday in the future, ICOs will be regulated because it's true that there are hundreds of new ICOs popping out each day and because of this even good projects don't become successful because investments are diversified.

sure most of the ico's now are random ideas thrown into a single basket but there are also ico's with good concept and ideas like bitbay also ethereum made an ico before look ethereum now its a successful coin lets just wait for good ico to come out and bad ico's arent bad if we will not gonna invest on them.

Well you cant stop people to have ICOs but you can stop yourself to join these ICOs.I stopped joining ICOs a long time a go i find it a waste of time and money,its like gambling i pray to have ICO regulatory board to filter these stupid ICOS.

As you know its a free market and it will regulate itself. But i think there will be some new rules regarding ICOs due to which this situation will not be there in future. So till that explore more about the projects in which you will be willing to invest.

its a bubble, trust bubble will pop and there will be correction

An ICO will be successful if the investors who invest a lot into it.
But sometimes we just waste time just waiting because the ICO that failed

you cant stop people from making a new invention, yeah some of them likely scam but you cant avoid fact there many ico end successfully and make their invention work, the only think you can do is choose wisely what project you want to invest, always becarfull read their whitepaper first

i think its an ICO bubble,
an easy way to collect funds without legal document,
maybe need a regulations for anyone who want to create an ICO project,
so there will be a filter for ICO

%98,... but Escrow? Its a stupid sign of someone who knows nothing of running a business!

Remind me how is Tezos doing?...I would be evil saying this: I am so happy for everyone who was cheering it! To hell to all of them.

100% strongly agree with your opinion, I am also very confused to see the current ICO, and the whale investors are very lazy to invest on the current ICO, I saw on the sub-board Announcement, about tens of ICO appeared every day, and I see not none of these ICOs that have good potential, they just want the quick money, without thinking about how their coins to the fore

Most of the ICOs are just shit or scam. I think the market will notice this too. Then the money will only flow to the good project.

You actually can't stop them or I mean to say that we don't actually need to.
The market is already over-saturated with ICOs and it's clear to everyone now that the days when any ICO makes you insta-rich are long gone.

They are actually killing themselves slowly as people are slowly fading away of them and turn to investing in crypto currencies directly as they are safer and are somewhat guaranteed that their funds won't just disappear if someone turned crazy.

ICOs are one thing in crypto that actually should stop running in the way they are. Putting the funds of so many people in danger and in the hands of some other people with absolutely no guarantees other than a simple small message saying "we will send you the tokens on ...." isn't enough.

Although I hate to say it, but they can't be decentralized and should actually be regulated by governments through some international laws or something. Just to make sure that the money goes exactly where they're supposed to do so.

Well we cannot stop them, So many investors willing to support them but in the end most of the ICO are unsuccessful. The only way we can do for those intend to make another ICO by not supporting them.  

The current period of exponential growth of the ICOs is just a passing fad, because sooner or later people will realize that the vast majority of them end in a spectacular failure where only a few manage to make good money at the expense of the unwary, that is why countries like China have already given the first warning signs against these business schemes.

But in addition, the world of ICOs is a reflection of the real world economy, where more than 80% of new businesses end up failing in a few months, and only a few manage to consolidate over the years.

ICOs are dead within 3 months. Mark my words.

So many good ones can't even swim up from all the shit they're surrounded.

Yes to many ICO now and some of them no professional and with bad management. Then some of them many fail and many investors lose their money. Now need not  not about amount of ICO that to much but the important think is quality of the project. And I think there is a need ICO regulation to protect investors from fraud and other losses

ICO is good for new startups, we can't stop this ICO. be sure to spot on a good ICO instead! their are good ICO that roaming around. money is flowing on them. it's up for you if you're going to invest, the real world needs to merge on blockchain.

that is part of investment to be successful or failure,and theres no need to stop the ICO because they are the one who is responsible to make alts and coins.but what we need is MAKE REGULATORY BOARD that will focus only in those newly release iCO for the reason that most of the ico now are just scammed making ICO is lot easier to make quick money without concern to the affecting bodies so they must be Regulated Asap

i think there is nothing to stop ico because there is many ways to launch the ico. for example if the government banning ico, then i am sure that the dev and the team will found many other way to launch. ico itself is one of the investment for people which have money and only expecting to make profit in the long run but we need to be selective to choose the right ico that will bring a big profit to us.

Yes, only the number of fraudulent ICO is growing every day and it is more and more difficult to recognize them, in addition there is a problem with the overestimated cost of ICO.

I agree that most of the ICO doesn't has any selling point, it just a copycat coin that hope get lucky and some of the ICO even try to scammed other  people, it is not a waste to advertise  ICO if the developer really want develop and make the coin to become successful

i agree with you that stoping an ICO like stopping the inovation..
i was read an article that ""The innovation of cryptocurrencies may very well be the greatest of the past 200 years. I would highly encourage you to consider participating in the movement, as a company or as an individual. But before you begin, you must understand the difference between an ICO and TGE. Make sure you’re investing in utility tokens! Don’t unnecessarily create issues between you and the SEC.""

ICO can not to stop it because always any new idea and new concept from blockchain community, a few of them will succes and a few will fail. Now we as investor, should be extra carefull to invest in it. Learn the purpose of the project and to know their community and their personal team before make invest in ICO should be done.

Icos are killing themselves by the community allowing so much garbage, it's making people in general be wary of them.  If that doesn't stop it then the various governments that are getting upset about them will step in and do something.  Ico's days are numbered.

Join Stopico.com to mock ico's.

It's just an humour way of shitting on ICO'S

To control ICO, there should be a regulatory or a set of Norms/ protocol.  It should be compulsory to follow all protocol by ICO.

There are still a few coins that will survive for a couple of years maybe. The failure is within the developers it self for not doing its job for pushing more companies and user so it can have a real ecosystem.

The state or the government can only stop an ICO but not all countries are stopping ICOs. ICO numbers increased rapidly due to tolerance and they're thinking they'll make more money on ICOs and Crypto-Currencies. China is the most notable country that is regulating Crypto-Currencies, ICO, Crypto-Currency exchange etc.

The only way to stop ICO is when the government is banning or regulations otherwise ICOs are highly tolerable this year.

This is a free market and selfregulatory. So everyone is free to make and advertise theyre project. It is the users job to give a chance to those who are legit and to sanction the others. I think that with time , if the ico market keeps it this way, users will stop invest in ico`s and the old one will start to dissapear. There is a big need for a cleaning as many tokens  that dont belong in this market only makes the research harder.
But, as there is in any bussiness , where there are money there are people who want to take advantage of them. Its our job to invest only in the strong, well planned and with a good transparent team ICO`s

Anyone can make their own coin and scam the hell out of gullible investors. I don't really know what is the other way to stop the numerous popping nonsense coins, I guess we should really be more crucial in choosing coins we'll invest in.

What a contradiction of thought and opinion. Someone is wearing an ICO signature and the same time asking for how to stop ICO. If your ICO represent value and it is useful you will make moneyand if your ICO `is` junk,you bet that all your effort is going to trash!

If ICOs will stop that's mean the we will also lost free token or a bounty hunters job! I hope that this will not happen anyway.

Lol....What an irony

There are many ICOs nowadays, we can't say that all of them are scam, but some are legit. Since I started investing in ICO, I always have fear what will happen next, because too many risk in investing in ICO, but if you are lucky, you may earn 100% profits.

This can't be stopped. Still, many ico's project creates every month maybe.
Every project has road map and goal to achieved in launching. With promotion and campaign there are starting to collect interest and member for support the projects. How it could be many project was failure after launched. There are could be some reason, as far i understand it will failure when there can't survive in the market competition and stock hold with low cap market. In the end it can states as speculations.

Yes, it is a fact, ICO's popping up every day, each one with their own unique concept and idea, but are they in fact real, is the concept achievable or is it a dream that will never happen?  Ofcourse, its become a way to make some money. People can get scammed or even be victims of fraud. Apparently, 90% of the ICO's today are scams and a means to make extra cash on the side.

Imo, a great example of a good ICO is trade.io (https://trade.io/), the new blockchain trading platform. It's currently doing very well, and it's sure to do much better due to it's very solid team and advisory team. The team is working 24hr p/day to help the community.

ICO can not be stop. You must accept the fact that as different as our faces are so also is our need. Many people will like to see better way of doing thingsin their respective endavour, and if  means tokenizing such endavour on better technology, so be it!

Agree there's too much low ICOs, but I think it'll be better eventually. Also at this point it's not difficult to identify a scam just by read about it only.

Just as investing in the real sector requires the owner of the means of financial knowledge and entrepreneurial intuition, and in the ICO all this must be had. And then bad ICO, as in reality, will not be able to attract investment and leave the market.

There is no way to stop ICO, they are beneficial because they provide jobs for new blockchain workers. This is needed for us to see a better coin output in the world. It will also help the adoption of bitcoin.

ICO can be regulated but cannot be stopped. A country can require regulations for all ICOs and investors like how it is in USA. But it cannot be stopped, companies and start-ups will find ICO as a better source of initial funds in contrast to traditional source of funds. The problem is the number of scam ICOs out there. It should be regulated so that investors may somehow have a bit of protection against scammers.

Stop ico? Is that even possible..I believe this is an open market..it's left for investors to decide if they want to participate or not.

Its a free market my friend. Though there are so many ICOs they can't force themselves, participation is voluntary and even the consumption of information.
The numbers have decreased this month though, must be the SEC and China ban taking effect but overall ICO is a brilliant way of raising money much like crowd-sourcing .. No denying that I'd like it better if there were accountability and some degree of regulation but fr now we have peer reviews and stay away from shitcoins..

It is inevitable, while there are a number of icos that are a scam there are other projects that have good intentions and simply fail, that is jut the nature of the market and since there are no rules about which person can create an ico so I think this is a problem without a clear solution.

Why do you wanna stop icos, guys? Market is working great. Bad icos are failing, good icos are making money and creating great projects. I personally don't think this will ever completely stop. Lot many people will use this as opportunity.

Yes I also need to know about that so already cross check  checked more reply about that and still waiting for more.

saying that this is harmful will be completely wrong


because every day can go and projects that are aimed at the implementation of something new and better for the community and ordinary people

This will never happen. The only way ICOs would stop is when the crypto market and bitcoin collapses completely which will never happen according to me. The truth is that the number of ICOs will actually increase dramatically in the long run since people realize that bitcoin and the crypto world is a gold mine and everyone would want a piece of that cake. Majority of the ICOs will still be scams, but many ICOs are legit. Differentiating between them comes down to research and luck.

They are not wasting their time and their money since they do really need to put up money on marketing and designing the project to look it legit and when they do raise funds then they can accumulate amounts more than on the amounts that they do spent. Easy profits right? This is common and really rampant on these days which these ICO turns out that most of them are fraud and being used just to scam people in the end. Most of them failed because of no support from the community or just being created to scam people.

Decentralized, free market, Ico's stopped, why? I think that Ico makers need to make a number of official applications and get the necessary licenses, and some precautions are needed to protect the investor. Regulations are necessary.

There are still numerous ICO that still come and succeed. It all depend on the project team and their project. If the team is experienced and are sincere with their marketing and advertising the rate of success is high. The rate of failure in ICO is a blessing in disguise as only well packaged projects will make it.

my idea is actually the same as other people's thoughts. but if they really want to put an end to ethereum  managers for such projects, I think they can   does to this very easily. the main question here is why do they want to stop it? many projects are being done with ethereum and very little is done with the project waves. ico projects are definitely an invigorating feature for other coin, tokens and markets  . I do not think they want to lose it.

Lol. Your right almost every day i see dozens of new ICOS. This is just so alarmong and can ve really confusing in the perspectives of newbies in the crypto currency world. Although some are great projects, others are just ahitcoins and scams. But they do not waste time and money because most of them just run off with your momey or make some alibis.

ICO attracts more and more attention as well as investments in the crypt. But not everyone is destined to become an apple or microsoft

It is contradictive the question with your act. Your question how to stop ICO in fact you promote an ICO with your signature campaign. The best questions " How to stop scam ICOs?" It think this is the problem. There are many fake ICos with fake projects. They just sell token, that is easily created on ethereum blockchain. They mined the token first or sell premined tokens, They earn eth and the rest of the token. That's a good way to raise fund for legit developers. I support legit and trusted ICOs.

This is the problem of all participants and investors in which we really dont know if the ICO will going to be successful in the end or not. That even there is an regulating policy it could only determine the legality of the ICO but not the future results of the campaign therefore to know the success of a certain ICO will just depend upon the individuals thru vigorously research, constant monitoring of the ICO status, analyzing and perfect decision making to stop or to continue affiliating.

when there are less demand, it will automatically become unpopular.

it's just time being right now.. ppl are mad about ICOs dreaming of jackpot.

Im surethat  the market will balance it out. Cause its like a system, some of them will die , others - succeed

the truth is ICO will become some day a rather standard method of funding. These abnormal profits of ICOS tokens seen in recent period resulted from the overhype.
@phantasma19 is right, they become less popular if demand decreased, but I strongly believe the concept will never die.  

During last several weeks have read and posted a lot about ICO and here is the opinion which sounds most reliable for me personally. If we want to regulate ICOs then there are hell lot of questions because a lot of ICOs putting effort in same direction. In fact during last several years I see more and more specific competitions between new projects and that's normal. If we shall have let's imagine governmental regulation for that, they can simply give the license to the representatives of fat cat and hold off perspective young newcomers. Still some countries, for my mind, with the very good developed competition and business infrastructure can apply some sort of centralized normative to several specific types of ICO. Some countries will ban it absolutely like China did. But the case of China is not ordinary country. You know that in some countries casino are allowed in some not. In some they are allowed only for foreign citizens (such an insidiousness). Also here we shall not see equal decision from different countries. But still - ICO really will become standard procedure for funding business projects in sphere of financial innovations and blockchain technologies.     

In my opinion. The quality and consistent ICO of the project is the ICO that has good quality consistency of all the teams in the ICO. There should be a Rule that can filter ICO well. so ICO that there is only really good quality ICO.

Yes, i think regulation for ICO is necessary to stop ICO scams, But real valuable projects should grow up.

Barely it is possible. As it was told many times 95% of businesses in real world crash within the first year. Why ICO must be something different? Nobody can give you guarantee of success except yourself and your feelings. Why do you think there still no such things like "Movement of Betrayed ICO Investors" and so on? Because nearly every person understand inside "yes I did not read this whitepaper, yes I did not extrapolate this service into real life, I did not read about this, I did not make personal investigation about the ICO I was investing in, well al least I did not hear myself". Some enormous successes which are natural to the fresh appeared industry as this on blockchain tech would bring many magical benefits and pathetic losses also, so some initial cases made public believe that 1000% profit in 80% cases is normal. No it is not.
Also even centralized control will not protect people from talented criminals like Madoff.    

Why would you want to stop ICOs? And why would you say they are failures? Give them time to develop their project, what the hell!
The only airdrop failure is for ICO flippers. ICOs don't produce 10X returns in one week any more. And that's GOOD.

We definitely cannot stop ICO, it is every developers right to create a new currency that they believe would benefit the community.

For bounty Hunter it's not a big deal. and the more ICO the more work for them.
The opportunity to earn extra money is getting bigger. If ICO fails it's a common thing they easily find another project.

Hopefully the community will do it's due diligence and weed out the bad ones over time.

ICOs are already slowly being stopped because regulators made public statements and they even provided framework for businesses to start legal ICOs. SAFTs is what they're called and it's one big load of bullshit, so what is even better scam wise are forkcoins where they literally copy the Bitcoin code and fork from it by adding a couple tweaks here and there to the source code.

Why do you want to stop it. Just don’t invest in it. That’s all. Many people like such risky way of earning money. They have the right to do it. It is only necessary to pay attention to the project which is sponsored.

Its not possible to stop ICO. It up to individuals if they want to invest in it, if there wasn't a huge market for it with people continuing to invest then people would stop creating ICOs. Comes down to supply and demand

In your question it looks like you want to stop an ICO?am i right? But Why? Many people want to invest in ICO, this is one of their way to earn, if you don't want to invest then don't invest as simple as that.

It is true that at present ICOs seem to be the trending business due to the legal laxity that there is still in this respect, but in essence they are not necessarily a bad business concept, because can offer really interesting services and good opportunity to make money, however I think that we as users should be the main responsible when choosing a project in which to invest. As soon as we see a sign of scam, it is better to refrain from investing and continue our search among the multiple options that emerge daily.

Crypto currency is quite an attractive currency for the illegal world. There are a lot of charlatans here! When you can not go to a bank or to a stock exchange, gray schemes can be applied here.

I agree that many ICOs are a scam, this is why everytime somebody invests they should investigate the project and identify if what they are saying is feasible & true.

You should read beneath the lines.

But even in that case, I don't believe that all ICO's are fake since a lot of them are actually working on a product.

There is no need of an stopping to the ICO. These were the elements of funding startup and very few get initiated with the plan of scamming investors. In my view ico can be regulated, but there is nothing wrong taking place to stop it. As the upcoming generation grows with technology these will serve as an support system.

Even if 99 percent of the ICO projects fail, you can be rewarded fairly well as long as you hit that 1 percent ICO project, so it's worth taking a chance.

too many altcoins. like airdrops are popping every hour. this will create confusion and FUD.

But more Icos means more oppurtunies for us to become rich, of course you have to spot and avoid the scam project to make profit.

Not only a few but lots of them.There are lots of scam ICO's out there which being created just for the sake on scamming its investors.If you do try to disseminate you would really able to tell the partition on legit and a completely fraud funding this is why it turns out to be a big challenge for investors or even on those legit project to find investors because the money have been divided and been wasted out because of those fraud. Stopping isnt possible unless if this thing is being regulated already then its possible.

Don't invest anything if you do not believe the ICO. I don't think we should stop ICO. because even with regulation there will always be illegal crowdfundings.
ICOs are good for gathering funds because a lot of people even if it's small or big can contribute in the project.

This is a problem that many countries now face. Many countries intend to exercise some supervision over the ICO. This is obviously necessary and can not allow too many liar projects.

You cant stop ICOs what you can do is to stop joining ICOS because most of the ICOs today is just a scam.

If you think some ico projects are scams, you can just stop joining in, if they can not raise a lot of money, they will sure to stop the scams.

What do you mean by experiencing failure? price drop or bankrupt? failed to get target fund is also normal at least they tried it hard.

In my opinion there are many ICO will be good for development of crypto and fintech, so that mean many idea come from blockchain community to solve some problem. But to reduce bad quality project should be any regulation so the project will more in quality, and will be give many advantages to the investor and also regulation is important to protect investor from fraud.

Nobody can stop ICO, until the developer know they shouldn't build ICO if the ending is SCAM. ICO is idea to make new cryptocurrency and collaborate it with project

Why to stop ICO? ICO is really great opportunity for investors and project owners. Yes there are scammers around but we can filter them buy self regulation.
We need to discuss about self regulation not stopping them

In ½ year I have my invesment (3000$) back to bank account 4 times.
Still have coins for 30000$
I use Airdrops, Ref links and spreading risk. I try to learn from the old boys.
So many money going in to Crypto that if you spreading risk it is hard to fail.
Be a little critical when choosing ICO. But most importent BE PATIENT. People panic 5 min after sending payment.
Wait Wait Wait Wait - start ups take time.

Until today there's no way to stop an ICO but I think when every state and government has the power to stop anything except nature but stopping ICO is stopping also the future of economy and trade. Cryptocurrency is already embraced by people and technology enthusiasts so regulating ICO is the only thing can do than stopping it.

Indeed, and this is the reason why some people would like to think if there's an option to stop or to halt ICOs because we have already a thousand ICOs in the world and still there are more to come by next year. For me, regulating an ICO is more effective than stopping it.

i think people learn from there failures.Fortune favors the bold so let them take risks. let them keep investing and making opportunities of earning for people like us.

That is just an illusion markets have claimed to self regulate and that is just a way to say that there is no regulation in place, I would like to avoid regulation in crypto but if thins keep going in this direction with people investing millions of dollars in scams then regulation is going to happen whether we like it or not.

What is the need to stop ico. It has been serving as an added support to the growth and spreading of cryptocurrency throughout the world. Maybe some could have gained the investment and termed as a scam due to lack of growth and when it comes to reality most were already self regulated and works without flaws.

ICO does not need to be stopped even considering that about 40 percent of the current ICO is showing signs of fraud. In the future, this process will become regulated, and investors will learn from their mistakes to differentiate risky ICOs from prospective ones. And the market will filter out useful projects and created based on their tokens from unnecessary and useless.

A huge number of the projects in crypto eventually fail but not all fail at the ico level some eventually develop a working product and the project happens to fail because of a combination of factors like another existing coin monopolizing the market or another coin find a way to do the same thing but better with lower costs or by being a lot faster.

No one can stop ICO, if you think you are just wasting your time then don't invest, failure is part of life specially in ICO you don't always feel the success thats why you think first if the project will click to others.

you will not be able to stop ICO because too many people are following it and investing in it, so it's very difficult to control it let alone stop it.

 I do not think to do it because it is very difficult.

stop ico it just hurt many parties. ico is very hard to stop because a lot of big projects want to achieve success, if you want ico stop doing now because you will never be able to do it.

why do you think to stop it if it is a good ICO, because you can invest and achieve many benefits with it, this will be better for you to do because it is very profitable.

You cant stop ICOs or new coins that are coming out, yeah they are spending a big amount of money on advertisement to get people to join their project but the revenue they get is much larger than what they spend so basically the one who is at risk at failure are the investor of the coin.

I dont really think that you can stop an ICO. Everyday more and more ICO are being develop. Some are successfull while most of them are not. But still a lot of people are interested in ICO. As long as there are people who are willing to invest in an ICO, it cant be stop. Also its part of the development that cryptocurrency is undergoing. You can stop it if you can stop the investors, which I think wont be happening.

As long as people are still throwing bitcoins or ethereums at ICOs, they can't be stopped.  Always research before investing in any ICO.

The market is not going to do anything, if the market wanted to do something it could have been done already and yet the amount of scam icos is very high, so government oversight is going to come and change the way icos raise money it is sad but if people do not learn and keep choosing crappy projects then government intervention will happen.

I don't think that we can stop ico because the ico can help us to reach another profit. besides that, there is many good ico that will bring success to both project and investor. I am sure that there is much innovation from the ico make our life be better than yesterday. but we need to find out which is ico that will succeed in the future.

Nothing can stop icos but at the same time we need a new way for projects to raise funds, scammers are abusing the icos and creating many fake projects, even copying someone else work and trying to convince people they made that work, so if icos want to keep getting funds from people they need to do more than what they are doing now or the lack of interest from the community will slowly make icos fade away.

The ICO will be necessary even if a small part of it is useful and promising. Despite the fact that many of them are with signs of fraud, this is largely a creative activity that involves mistakes and shortcomings. However, only in this way the crypto currency can be improved. There are no other options yet. At the same time, it is necessary to introduce regulation of the ICO process in order to reduce the existing risks for investors.

I think everything depend on you decision.many ico comes in market,some are good and some are bad but you must be chooses better ico.otherwise your money can be lost. so.most important think is  ico makes a good profit for all.no need to stop this just you follow what is the better ico.

ICOs will stop if the companies cannot manage or handle their campaigns anymore. you can pretty much see if these happen by researching first about their campaign, objectives, etc.. You can be certain by then that their campaign will be successful once you understood what they are for and if it really is possible to reach their goals or objectives.

Not all ICOs are scams. Among venture projects there is a large share of failed projects that have various fail reasons (unpromising technology, uncoordinating team, etc.). This is a normal situation.

You must not have seen how ICOs managed without all these extracompany parties doing it for them. Take a look at 100 ICOs in this year, just take any pick. What is your measure of success? Millions raised? OK, then they have been successful. But 0% have been successful in meeting their full objectives. Not when most of them have scheduled their launch next year. And if you want to measure by way of token/coin price, then you will see less than 10% have a value today higher than what they were during their ICOs.

Research and understanding is not a certainty of ICO success. It is not that simple, buddy.

In 2017, ICOs raised more than two billin dollars in their token generation events. There is way to stop ICOs because the community wants this. They need to see something differnet and innovative. That's why we need ICOs.

You are correct but at the same time scammers are creating so many bogus projects that the amount of scams is outnumbering the amount of projects that are legitimate and this is turning people away from investing in icos and to be honest I cannot blame them.

Not all of them are scams. Well lets give every project, every idea a scam. After all, everything is a gamble. So if you dont want to lose anything, just dont invest.

I wish every ICO should be successful because dev put all team effort and money into their project, currently i am looking forward to Gilgamesh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2162600.0)... and i wish they will get success at the end.

I don't think there is a way to stop ICOs from popping out everyday as it is like an idea that comes into mind everytime and you dwell on it so much and ask people to buy your idea until iit becomes a realization or until it becomes the next big thing in the world of altcoins.  ICOs for me represents possibilities as long as it is well regulated and not a scam to cheat people off their cryptos.  You never know when the next bitcoin or ethereum will appear in the market if you stop ICOs just like that.  I agree with what most have said that, at the end of the day, it's really up to you whether you would invest in an ICO project or not so it's too early for me to dismiss them just yet because again, your ICOnmight turn out to be the next big thjng in the cryptocurrency world.

I do believed that ico right cannot be stop, particularly now several of ico that has been rise up in crypto world. And many of the community also are partaking in the project, therefore it would hard to stop it.

I hope it will be regulated some day to ALL countries so no one can make any excuse. For me, regulating ICO is really a good thing.  But for now, what we can do is to support those who deserve and invest what we can afford to lose.

I think in few years we will see what % ICO is scam. I think we will see that these young unexperienced guys will understand that they can't just take billions and go for their island. Some big guys that put a lot of money in their ICOs will help them to find right way of working. After some incidents there will be laws about ICO and it will be the same like IPO - civilized robbery of money from gullible hamsters.  ;D

That's a stupid idea, " How to stop ICO?"

WHo want to stop ICO? It is decentralized fund raising.
How to stop ICO? I know the way, all countries should ban internet.
ICo is trash.....Not all ICOs? Ten X pay isn' t trash. and many others.
The best thing is " Regulate ICOs".

what do you mean stop? we can stop greedy persons to create another shitcoins,but we can stop joining useless ICOs we need to pick the good apples out of the basket.

Not all ICO fraudulent projects. There are actually working and even offering innovative products projects.
To select the real ICO project I recommend to study them on specialized analytical sites.

Why would someone want to stop ICOs?!

That would be like stopping technology or innovation.

It's best to determine which ICOs are good are which are bad and invest correctly and wisely.

Previously, each program was profitable, as there were really good projects and the funds received were used for the needs of the project. Now many scammers have come who just want to collect money and disappear.

Well that guys are spending THEIR money, what the matter for you? Anyway they're paying to PR managers and journalists, IT-specialists and designers so somebody are winning.

I think the right question must be: ¿How to stop SCAMS from ICO?, a lot of projects are very great and useful and is worth it to invest in some of them Ex: Substratum, I think these ideas does not have to pay the consecuences of anothers' mistakes.

Yes correct all the ico that want to succeed or fail depends on the company and the work his team while managing if he could live right and improve the quality so that the coin will survive and many interests so that the price can also be nice, it just my opinion,

Yes correct because I see increasingly more people cheat so we have to be more selective to choose Nice rather than ico scam. because many people are abusing his authority for personal gain, and taking the right of another person

You cant stop greedy persons to take advantages the market,market is getting worst a lot of new scammers are joining and more newbies are getting rekt because of that.

Why would you stop ICO's? Many ICO has been successful and continuing to develop their project. Their developers are following their roadmap and some are been successful to be listed in exchanges. But unfortunately there are some that can't continue their project due to insufficient funds after their ICO and some are lack of support from their companies. Also because of it their developer left the project. Its not their fault if they can't continue the project.

90% (and most likely even more) of ICOs will fail. Indeed, it is not easy to find a valid ICO in this sea of scams and unrealistic business models. However, you need to remember that even in normal business environment (offchain) majority of startups end up in bankruptcy as well. From this point of view ICOs are not much different from other Startups.

Just be very sceptical. Do your research and do not invest more than you can afford to lose. With some luck you will be able to find ICO which will generate nice profit in the future :) Good Luck!

P.S Of course I recommend to get interested in ICO from my signature ;) It was listed by huffingtonpost as one of 11 most innovative Startups of 2018. Worth checking.

This is market forces at play.

Those that provides a solution to existing problem with real world application will succeed and go a long way.

Those that simply hop on to the blockchain bandwagon without carefully thinking through the project will most likely fail.

There is no way for us to stop ico's and why ? , Because the competition in the market is very tight and there are different platforms that are created by developers and we all have one goal and that is to be rich in the future.

No need to stop ICO's, because they bring new technology and ideas to the table.
It would be foolish to stop ICOs.

I think it is unfair to try to see what icos have reached their objectives after just a months of development, many projects state directly in their road map that they will need a year or two, so if you want to make that experiment then it is better to look for icos that ended two years ago.

Many of these ICOs are made in an anonymous manner, so I don't think regulation is enough to stop them. Investors themselves are the only ones who could stop it, and the best you can do to achieve that is spread awareness among people.

No one can stop ICO projects. Because it also likes other investment fields, there are many risks. So, the best way is that if you are not good at in researching, you should not take part in them.

I think the ICO to stop it will be very difficult when it happens maybe it only to inhibit it. as the authorities banning new projects raise cash or other virtual currency through cryptocurrency. as well as in banking said that ico was unauthorized fund-raising and is illegal activity then the price will drop drastically even bitcoin sharply. and prohibit all organizations and individuals conducting fund raising through the activities of ICO.
 

There is no way to stop ico's because that is business and most of the people really want to get rich and the marketing that they are made is for their own profit. Everyone need ico's to run because this what makes the market circulate and we are also earning a lot of money by working on them.

A few organizations are beginning their ICOs on the grounds that it's a decent method for social event supports other than from discovering stock financial specialists. ICOs are useful for social event stores in light of the fact that many individuals regardless of whether it's little or enormous can contribute in the venture. Possibly later on, ICOs will be directed in light of the fact that it's actual that there are many new ICOs flying out every day and as a result of this even great ventures don't end up plainly effective in light of the fact that speculations are expanded.

We should be able to differentiate between ICOs and categorize them properly.
The ICOs ranges from a pure SCAM to real businesses/startups.
But sometimes a pure SCAM too can be more profitable than a real business ICO for an investors.
But if you go with the real business and worthy startups, you'll never be sad.

ICO is good but unfortunatelly many of them are only create token with smartcontract which they can created easily. It makes many ICO come up then the compettition become high. The number of investor is only increase litle by litle, its not good. I hope they creat coin instead of token.

There is no reason to stop ico's , some good projects have come from them. The question is how to stop stupid people giving money to scammers.
The problem will fix itself eventually i think.

I think it's impossible to slow it down or stop. It will end itself when people get fed up with all this scams and uncertanity

It's just an alternative form of financing. With time, it will be more regulated both from the outside and from the inside. The dust will settle and good projects will follow.

That is simply impossible, not every single ico can become a success, that will require that every single ico was a valuable project to the community and as we can see most of the time that is not the case, in fact the failure rate of icos is astonishingly high and to be honest I am not surprised about it.

You are correct about ICO. But in every business there is not 100% success. similarly some projects flop here also. There should be a minimum standards to follow before launching ICO to control it.

Icos are investing at your own risk although there are real project with real roadmap platform we should diligently search if the people behind that project are indeed capable to push though with their roadmap and will not run away or leave after they got your investment

and if we decide to invest our money in ico, then we need to know that we cannot always make a profit in the end because we need to make sure that we know all the info about the ico and then we can choose a good ico with the good project. there is nothing we can do to stop ico but I think the government can stop them or by controlling every ico that wants to launch. I think the government will make some regulations for this so the ico need to understand that they cannot break the law.

I think that ico fails only 30% of the total ico that works.
maybe the failed project is ico project that is not able to survive and has no obvious advantages.

If there wasn't a huge market for it with people continuing to invest then people would stop creating ICOs. Many people want to invest in ICO, this is one of their way to earn.

One man's failure is another man's success, you have classified ICO as if is just a body organizing them all, when one fails it does not stop the other from investing in the other and this is what we call risk taken in investment, you just need to make your own research or part with ICO. This decision is personal.

Why need to "stop" ICOs? This is the surest way to transform into the IOT and many other advantages for business and the field of information technology. Ban or stop ICO, it will return to the past.

You can stop ICOs,but you can stop joining these ICOs if you are not satisfied joining them,ICOs can make us millionaires if it is success but on the other side it might be a scam or a failed project.

The only way to stop ICO is not to invest in it because nobody can stop ICO. ICO are like people building startup for their ideas, you cant stop it but it the idea is bad then the ICO will fail, if it is good then the ICO will success. In my opnion, ICO are like Kickstarter for business or game and people will invest in the idea/project they believe.

When people stop throwing money at ICO's then ICO's will stop.  The problem is that there are a wide range of projects, some are good and some are outright scams.  Too many people aren't doing their research and rewarding the scammers.

It's not rude for every people try to make their life better same as the icos. Many people create ico to expand their work or trying to collect funding to globalise their products and services. Not all of them failure.
a lot of icos getting success collecting funding and create a good product to sell, and then they sell their token with the high price too so its not waste time to advertise and trying. To stop icos i think there is no one can, except the crypto world crush and there is no bitcoin more.

Yes, I agree with you completely. All eager to spend the ISO and collect the money. And in fact don't even understand how it happens and what it should be. Do not choose the right strategy and in the end, all in the red.

Many ICO's struggles to get a momentum like SunContracts, a good project I watch for some time but not big enough to gain that traction it needs.
Killing ICO is simple if there are too many projects and no one interested to participated weak medium ones will die.
Failure can have any ICO without working prototype (beta version of working software) or bad marketing / introduce blockchain to a less popular category like BitJobs (STU) has everything to succeed but lacking hype/popularity.

dont worry about it, the market will balance itself

Nope. I think it is just the main problem of the society right now, distinguishing to ore from gold.
It is indeed the biggest challenge in looking for maximum potential of ROI.

As you can see, we cannot stop ICO. Instead, we can do better solution to minimize crappy ICO.
For instance, ICO will acquire regulative contract in their localities or vouches to SEC for legalization porpuses. IN that way, we can atleast have some basis on how to pick which is which. BUt for now , we are in doomed struggle.

That's fact but I believe how ICO survive is not our problem, we only need catch opportunity make profit and leave it before too late. Become scam ( no value ) and stagnant is our risk and that's why stop loss and money management needed. ICO make crypto world more interesting, learn it and find the right moment to get profit & leave. See you next time.

in my opinion there will be no one could stop the ICO because ico is one of the infrastructures or bridge for investors who put some capital or money on a project that could be worth a thought to manifest in an effort done but if his work is worth a success then the ico will succeed with success but if not otherwise.

ICO will still goes on and goes and because the different ideas that people have is enough to create those. as long as this negotiation exist. ICO will still goes on. even though there are lots of failure ICO.

ICOs can't be stopped unless everyone just decides not to participate in them anymore.  I highly doubt that will happen since some end up being very profitable. 

It seems to me that the statement of the question is incorrect. Why stop ICO when you need to stop the scam. And they are developing this. Any innovations are subject to time verification. And this time is needed to regulate all those issues that inevitably arise in the process of becoming. So we'll see how it will be solved. Most likely the government somehow will enter into this topic. Once the question of taxes has appeared, there must be guarantees. Although here we lose the main advantage of the unit goal - decentralization.

I think you can't stop people from making ICO for real. The only thing you can do is just spotting a scam ICO and stay away from it.

i dont think we should stop the ico and its true many new ico coming and gone. but if you think investing in ico is not profitable for you. you just have to not invest on any ico. the truth why many people still investing on it is cause its profitable and good for investment.

For now, the ICO market really needs some regulation, otherwise it's too messy, and many ICO projects are fraudulent.

ICO's wont stop growing and appearing anytime soon because cryptocurrency is one of the best way of earning money besides working or having a active job. People who create ICO's of their own have the knowledge and is will to risk everything and put on everything they got into that project to become successful that's why many ICO's are popping out anywhere because they are willing to try to be one of those who success in cryptocurrency. As long as they have investors who supports them, they won't stop growing.

While I do not like regulations, there is no doubt in my mind we need to regulate icos to a certain extent, but governments seems to only be interested in regulating icos to charge taxes and nothing more, while they should do a lot more to protect people from falling in scams.

I see ICO will keep running for a long time. only difficult regulation can dismiss ICO but I think now ICO can pop up anytime and get profit. because with ICO many investors enter and put their money into ICO.

there is hard to stop ico because ico is the most popular way to get money for project .

yes , a lot of ico are wasting money and time but some project are really good and have a great future

I dont know how to stop ICO, ICO is really great for all of the people here in cryptoworld because if we can participate on great ico i am really sure that we can have a great future, because joining or participating a great ico can totally help us to have alot of money or profit so for me ico will run for many years.

Your post is just like saying how do I stop eating. ICOs are the pregnancy Of projects in crypto world.

I don't think there is a way to stop ICOs from popping out every day as it is like an idea that comes into mind every time and you dwell on it so much and ask people to buy your idea until it becomes a realization or until it becomes the next big thing in the world of altcoins.  ICOs for me represents possibilities as long as it is well regulated and not a scam to cheat people off their cryptos. 

You never know when the next bitcoin or ethereum will appear in the market if you stop ICOs just like that.  I agree with what most have said that, at the end of the day, it's really up to you whether you would invest in an ICO project or not so it's too early for me to dismiss them just yet because again, your ICOnmight turn out to be the next big thing in the cryptocurrency world.

ICOs are not a waste of time, they are trying to offer new tech, or new innovation to our society. Obviously not all ICOs have the same concept, and they simply want to scam you, but you need to be careful.

Rather than stopping ICO which means stopping new innovations, why dont we start think about how to control it instead?
In this new developing market, there are plenty ways to make money and a lot more ways to be scammed and deceived as well. Apparently this is the weakness of decentralized community, there is no authority or whatsoever to keep everything in place. Just eat or get eaten. I hope there will be time where this wild jungle is going to be tamed for good

Why you are thinking to stop ico ,i think you should stop those icos which have no future.Their intention only to flee after the fund raised.
Although you never know which are going to scam. But should read carefully about their project as well as who are working behind the project. I think if you invest in a proper project  it can change your lifestyle.

How can you stop ICO from emerging?
Why should we stop ICO as a whole?
Don't forget there are many good projects among shit.

in my mind, maybe this time no one can stop, except ICO negative impact on investor confidence. therefore to maintain the existence of ICO must be set aside with strict rules so that investors remain percya against ICO and ico will not die. and I think why should be dismissed if there are many successful people from an ICO? cheers

I dont think its a good idea, since there are some ICOs that are good too.

Hi :)
You should invest in pure coin

We don't have any power to stop ICO the best thing to do to prevent us becoming a victim of scam ICO is to do some thorough research about the project before investing. And follow your instincts. Its very risky that's why Im not really fun of investing on ICO's

I don't think they will go anytime soon.

I think there are a few things we can do / will see:-

- Regulations - To raise the standards of ICO's

- Raising standards through investments - If poor ICO's don't get investments, they will stop. If certain components are attractive other ICO's will pick them up. Currently I am only investing into ICO's that have a working product for example.

Uhm , why would you want to stop ICO's ? I have found so many great projects with awesome teams behind and a real product already tested and working. It's true that there are ICO's some that they will come and go but it's nothing new.

I don't think we can really stop it, it is more up to bigger policies coming in and throwing in regulation.

The only thing I can think is to self police and if we see a bad ICO we pick it apart so people looking into will see how bad it is.

ICO is currently the investment trend in 2018, besides many ICO failures, there are also successful ICO, bringing great profit to the investors at the time of ICO. So, I think people should have good knowledge of cryptocurrency so that ICOs can be scam-avoidable, as if involved in those campaigns will be very time-consuming. You can refer to some of the ICO review websites such as icorating(dot)com, which will help you in providing information and evaluating ICOs so you can easily select potential ICO.

Ico is one of the way to get funds for their project to support but not all of them are legit. We could not stop ico because most of coin uses this. But we could minimize it when we will choose only the right coin to invest. Before buying it. Make some research so that you will not get scammed like many does. And beside many coins also have been successful in ico

Regulations from the SEC and such will definitely bring the number of ICO's down, but that will take some time. Hopefully such regulations will prevent scams from happening and such.

although there is a regulation from the sec, I don't think this will stop the ico to release the project because as long as they obey the regulations and not trying to break the law, then the ico will be fine. and if they really have a good project, they will make sure that every investor will be safe and will take their profit at the end of the ico. maybe the regulation is for limiting the amount of the ico that is launch in every month so people can choose a good ico and make a profit with the ico.

It is free market, it contains risks, but in case of success will bring money. There is nothing unusual.

ICO is the only way for the users to get profit. I don't think that it will go down sooner or later. It will take time, I guess. But, at this moment, some ICOs are really true and effective. You can't change the fact that there are still some ICO who's not performing good and results good, but if you tend to look for a good and better one, then you can be helped by that.

You'll never be able to stop them. ICO's are nothing more then crowdsales. And crowdsales are a new way of attracting the investors.

You know how it used to be in the old times? You would have an idea, or a finished project, and then you would organise or attend a party or gathering of special sort of people, or find a promotor who would do it for you and present yourself and your idea there.... Now it's more easy, you have internet and more people can get acquainted with your idea. However the problem is that they don't get to know you. Although it is hard to know if the persons are sincere just by getting to know them, it is indeed more easy to check the validity of their projects and their honesty.

What can be done though is a better regulation. Nowdays it is far too easy to set up a project, a nice looking one, and then just escape with the money. My vote is that every applicant should offer something to vouche with (like credit card number) so that she/he can be penalized in case of not delivering with intent of not delivering (making a fraud). In the future it could be secured with smart contracts as well.

Each ICO project brings new ideas in the crypto field, there is no need to stop the progress. We just need a certain organisations to secure investors' funds.

I think we shouldn't stop ICO's. Of course there are a lot of scam projects now, but ICO is a real opprortunity for developers to realize their great ideas which can make our world more convinient. Also it is a chance for usual users to earn a huge amount of money if the project becomes succesful.

In my opinion, over time, we will come up with tough rules for conducting ISOs, and then they will not waste our time on their unprofitable projects.

I agree that many ICO failed because of lack of marketing and lack of innovation on their projects. Some ICO are just after the money of investors and Scam the many and left the project behind. But there are some legit ICO that has a good innovation and will probably boom in the future, Just be keen enough to choose the ICO that you want to invest.

Yes, in Croatia we for example have a problem with writing good crowdsourcing projects. Oh yes, there are many. However, they are mostly not of any substantial quality and rarely receive some funds. Maybe we could say that we still don't have to many new technology adoptive investors, or on the other hand that we are scam proof.

Same is with ICO, it is very indicative that there is almost none existing that originate from my country.

Writing a good project is not an easy task. Recognising one also. However, at least it can be a good litmus paper for filtering scams. At least a good written project shows that the developer, even if scammer, is not at least looking for easy money and has invested some effort.

I don't think all ICO's are bad so I disagree with your statement.

The only way I can see them stopping is self regulation from the crypto community. If people stop investing into them, they will cease to exist as there is no benefit for them to launch their ICO.

It is impossible to stop ICO.
As you can see, there are more ICOs than ever nowadays.

This will bring in a lot of money.
And this will be more advanced in the future.

That's normal, 90% of all startup also fail, ICOs are no different, but obviously the scam chances are higher and you need todo your research before throwing money.

Lots of them are scam projects. But we can't control people's money and what they want to do with their money.

ICO is really a good investment most of the time, if an ICO fail it's because their project is not that appealing to investor or they lack marketing strategies which is somehow have a great impact on an ICO's success. ICO is just like doing business in real life, not every people or group of people who put capitalzation and established a company/business always succeed.

How is it possible to stop people learning from failure? that is impossible. they're getting excited about how to build a true system by learning from their failures

Yes ICO appears every day and most of them are not of high quality. But we can not stop the appearance of these projects. It would be like just the fight with the wind) We can only choose good projects and support them. But in order to find a good project you have to make a very time-consuming research.

I like how you want to stop ICO, but also being a part of ICO.

Actually, I don't think so, maybe I have a deal only with good ICO's campaing, but I never faced ICO's campaing that don't achive their aim's

whats your concern about this?are you affected if they waste time and money to advertise?its their prerogative so i see no reason why should we bother to stop the ico,and besides we also have the rights to choose if we will invest or not,or participate in campaigns or not.if its not our concern maybe we should avoid giving a problem ourselves.

And ico are unstoppable because this is the BREAD AND BUTTER of almost 1/3 of th community or maybe much more..i am participating in ico,and investing at the same time making good income on those,though sometimes fails lol

There isn't a way to stop ICO's but if you don't like them, just don't participate in any.  It won't affect you at all if there are ICO's popping up daily, just ignore it and concentrate on the projects you are currently invested in.  ICO's aren't for everyone. 

ICO now is more regulated than before. most of these are now success and scams is nowhere now and i hope this will continue.
Advertisement now is better than before and the people into cryptocurrency is getting bigger in numbers,day by day.
what i hate is the FORK and some scam airdrops.

What do you mean OP by stop? as in banning this ICOs? only government can impose such actions and only on those ICO that are created in their territorial jurisdiction, so i think this will keep on continue as long as there is no strict regulation regarding on these matter all over the world.

Why would you want to stop ICOs?!  There are so many great ideas being brought to the blockchain - industry applicable ideas which enhance security and investor confidence in a product, or simply provide a way of managing the checks and balances of a regulated industry.  

Sure, there are some rubbish ICOs - ignore them and focus on those that will enhance our daily lives in some way.

you cannot argue with that :) it's a part of their marketing and don't blame if some ICO's popups on your screen :) and I think it's a good strategy :)

It is not necessary to stop those process, as far as there are lots of people, who decide on their own wether to invest or not.
Investments are always more risky than keeping money in the bottle under tour bed(although it is true only to some extant)

And why do you want to stop the ICO? After all, if you stop the ICO, then a huge number of projects, simply can not realize themselves, and after all the ideas of projects are very, very interesting, so I do not see the point in stopping this process.

I do not only want  ico's to continue I want them to grow even more. I have observed that people that have no knowledge about business or crypto  are losing their money and going away and that contributes to the professionalization of the market
