Every day we see dozens of new ICOs enter the market
Do you think this is useful for the market and to what degree?  ::)

Then ICO will consume a lot of market capital.
Then the whole market is short of funds. If there is no law to restrict ICO, then the bear market will continue.

Subscription to any ICOs will require the purchase of encrypted currencies
This means an increase in market size
As well as the entry of new people to
 the market means the spread of the idea and this is specifically required

yes of course. it proves that more people are interested in blockchain based projects. ofcourse there are so many scam projects as well but it is not only for crypto market there are scams in everything all over the world.

I would say ICOs have already stolen a lion's share of venture capitals' attention. Investors are a bit tired of regular startups and tend to invest more in ICOs which sometimes can give a much quick and higher profit.

I agree with you. Too much ICO does not always have a positive impact, even though it proves that many people are enthusiastic about crypto, but it does have a bad effect on the crypto itself.

Not anymore, most of them are scams and they are being abused by those developers that are looking to become rich easily.

Some are legit and those are helping the market through adding another market cap which will also goes to bitcoin in the latter times.

At this stage of my acquaintance with the project #ICO I can say that I was surprised by the idea of a global expansion in the future and a huge coverage in the future. Let's work together to successfully develop this project.
The Future of Social Selling
A blockchain infrastructure that liberates social selling - the biggest gig economy of tomorrow

It will make market grow up and people get more interesting replace their money into ICO project. We have many choice to test our strategy and raise our skill because every person learn with different method. Too much ICO project also bring negative impact into market, such as many scammer comes up and make trader/ investor confused because have too many choice. Take the right ICO project to replace your trust and enjoy the process.

I think that ICO is new blood of the crypto market, and they are necessary for its further development. Market will not be able to develop without new projects. But of course I am not speaking about scams. So we should support good projects, hope listing platforms will understand the issue and will not provide paid rates to the projects, in order to avoid not proper investment. In this regard I like www.icoguide.com very much, as it is not paid and rates are trustworthy for me.

Totally agree, ICOs are very important for the market, it could not survive only with existing coins, especially when a lot of them are not stable. It is vital to support good promising ideas.

Indeed many ico emerging this increasingly widespread to search the market, the market itself will certainly be many and varied. Each ico has a developer to get the market for its tokens to be redeemed, and the market itself requires funds for its management, so the more ico it is, the more markets that provide exchange places with various funds.

To be honest, I do not see that much improvement in the market with the growing number of ICOs. Majority is just money grabs that tend to give false promises. We are still in a wild west scenario that unless someone or a group steps in to regulate these ICOs, the market will always be stagnant. However, there is still a future for the current leaders as they are already well established.

The funds that should be shared by the good old projects are now being shared also with the new shit ICOs. Well I'm not saying all new ICOs are shit but most of them are and each day I see a lot of people whining for being scammed.

People complain when new ICO token did not reach the market exchange...
People also complain if the project token reached the exchange..
People I think you have something wrong in your cognitive thinking..
When token reach the market the token is now open for public for them to trade this token either to buy for holding or use it or sell their token to have money.... It one of its nature..

How can it be useful? Just another piece of garbage. Which accumulates and accumulates. Even I have a lot of garbage tokens on my wallet. What then to speak about all ICO? They just need to collect money. On the cost of the token, almost no one then need not worry.

All incoming ICOS is an opportunity for us to invest, as long as ICO does not deceive investors. I think we should be careful in choosing ICO to not be fooled and not lose money, I agree that ICO is limited and regulated, but I do not agree ICO abolished.

It is the opportunity for everyone to choose a good ico so that you can get a higher profit in the future. We can be sure that they are still some people who are not greedy on their own money or who don't steal the money of others.

I think we should choose ICO project carefully, because the risk of ICO is really great.
However, many ICO projects are unreliable, so they do not implement open source code.

i think with more and more of the emerging ico it will lead to two things, the world of cryptocurrency that will be developed and the threat that scam ico  is also getting bigger. it all can happen if we are not careful in using it. but if we can follow it well then I think with the many ico that appear like this will bring many advantages.

It's useful, consider there was a lot of them are working on the new field and then they can give the more demand to the cryptocurrency. The ico has become the global trend right now. Ethereum, ripple, and almost 98% from the altcoins are started from ico. We know that the bankers are creating a partnership with ripple, EEA of ethereum has owned more than 150 members from the worldwide companies.,

The impact will be purely based on how success those ICOs will be. Because based on the outcome of the project, it will impact in the crypto space. There will be no matter how many ICOs are being announced every day. Because they will come and they will go without attracting any major amount of people here. Only projects which are making more people to turn into it will be having big impacts.

In some way they are good and bad. The bad thing is that these ICO's are sometimes fake and just want to take advantages of the investors especially the new ones good thing there's site like menlo.one the would help eradicate the fake projects out there. On the other hand, this ICO boom is giving us opportunity to mainstream the cryptocurrency or the blockchain technology to the people.

i am in favour of the ico even if they consume so much market capital and maybe the half of them fails but more are ico s more is variety of choice,then more opportunity to invest in a winning one, one which will succeed

i believe that the more ICO in the crypto market means that the more healthier environment in the crypto world. However, I am seeing that only the strong crypto's will survive in the coming decades and most likely there will be crypto's that I think may no longer continue since the competition of crypto's is very tight in the cryptomarket.

I have a dilemma looking at the many projects of varied kinds being introduced into the market using the popular ICO platform...and mixed with these many projects are also scams and soon-to-fail copycats projects which are being put up just for the sake of siphoning some money into the pockets of the developers or scammers. The time is coming when investors will not anymore be interested many ICOs due to fear that they can be victimized by another scam. Unfortunately we as the community is not doing substantial about it. The suggestion by Buterin to use the DAICO platform seems to be not catching up fire or big interest obviously because it can restrict many scams from floating on the market. On the other hand, I also believe that the more the merrier though this can really mean that many will eventually just die their natural death or not finding the necessary traction on the market. While most ICOs are claiming to be revolutionary, I think that it is ICO as the platform that needs this revolution the most.

Yes it is very important, the market needs new projects, it is the way for its development.

Of course this is a good sign for the market, because the more different projects, the more interested people in cryptocurrency.However, this also means that the market is increasing the number of scams and rubbish.

Good projects help to develop market, to make trading much more profitable. and scams have negative influence, as because of them  a lot of people loose trust in the crypto.

I don't think so. Do you know that one main reason apart from the price of Bitcoin reaching ATH that made many people join crypto was through ICOs. Many people saw crypto from bounty hunters (ICOs), YouTube videos (ICOs), meet ups (ICOs), and so much more. The ICOs introduced more capital into the market but those with bad mind who scammed people scared many others always.

it's true and I really agree with your question, now we know there are dozens of ico every day and enter the market,
I think personally ICO who entered the market today has no impact whatsoever,
because every ico who entered not necessarily he can be accepted well because there are so many ico that failed and totally worthless when entering the mark

Initial Public Offerings have already been replaced by Initial Coin Offerings. Investing in companies that open ICOs is so easy that it might be much more preferable over the traditional methods by almost all of the investors in the near future.

To be honest, the impact of ICOs is really low at the moment compared with other means and markets for investment. But that is likely to change progresively and become more established.

As we all know that ICOs were done to raise funds and awareness to the community about a certain project that is innovated into crypto world. ICOs is useful for it can spread the good name of crypto. The downside of these ICOs is the congestion of the network making fees higher.

ICOs are mainly for fund raising through crowdfunding. We have seen a lot of  projects coming to the market to raise fund majority of them succeeded in raising  the required amount needed while some also did not succeed. If the market is not impacting on the icos definitely by now ICO would have ended.I believe that market is really helping project raise the money they need.

Each ICO has a different product, of course, innovation and excellence have different benefits. With the new ICO then it's better to see what suits you, and of course, we also feel the benefits of ICO. Some ICOs compete to promote quality products, to draw the attention of the public to the technological presence of these ICO products.

ICO brings a lot of ideas that could help our community it's important and dangerous at the same time because scam ICO's are very rampant nowadays so better research ICO's that really matters and has a working product.

I only recognize projects that do have significant use on real life usage. Top ranking coins doesnt mean that they are good yet most of them are still on test phase or not really contributing on real life usage. This is why i do see launching projects every now an then is just really flooding out the market with useless coins because we have seen that most of the time they do already have duplicate or just the same idea, so having more than one project is not already feasible or not good.

about 80% of new icos are scam adn good ones get the attention and gain market size. investors invest in the icos just to make money they don't have any concern with the market but crypto community increase as new investors invest in the icos to make some bucks

In the past, MLMs (Ponzi) assumed under ICO is one of the reasons that the crypto market has increased dramatically over a period of time, but market is affected when all MLM projects are falling a dozen times earlier this year. Causing a lot of poor people to go away for a moment and the news sites are blamed for being all due to Bitcoin (the reason they lack the knowledge of cryptocurrency). And now many of the mainnet have been created to serve the ICO like NEO, Stellar, QTum, EOS, etc. It no longer congested the network as before.

Best ICO with potential for huge returns on investment is the Trufield project ICO. This exciting project will revolutionize healthcare for millions of people. Trufield will provide free health data management systems in developing countries. The Pre-ICO is live and open to all investors, so buy your tokens at 25% discount. Buy Trufield token and learn more about the project here at http://Trufield.com or http://Trufield.io.

In my own opinion, I thinks it has great impact on the prices of the coin in the market, if you check you will see that most ICO are holding great number of percentage of people's money that could have been used to trade or buy other coins in the market, which will increase the market cap and coins value in the market.

I think the benefits of the ICO are to raise funds, a company can finance their projects by holding an ICO, for a company, ICOs can be used to develop their companies. We also know that investors are interested in investing their money in an ICO, investors want this collaboration can make money for both parties. I strongly support ICO, I just don't like ICOs that commit fraud.

I think it's good to have variety, because I've seen some ICOs with some extremely innovative ideas and projects, things that I would never have thought of, that's why it's good to have variety, that's why I also think there should be some kind of regulations, because at the moment there are many more scams than the ICOs that are serious and promising project.

For me the impact of new ico gives awareness to those that are yet to know about crypto the negative effect i see is fraudulent ico is depriving money to go to already launched project with good prospect.

i think it depend on what kind of project that developer will bring and provide for crpto enthusiast. yes as we know we can found many ICO and new coins issued until now. with ICO developer can deliver their purpose of the project, they can communicate with their communities even they can attract many investors to support their project.

Influence of ICO on the market I regard as positive. Thanks to such projects, the market is being updated, new technologies are coming.

Most of the ICOs doesn't even collect the soft cap which means the project will be dropped maybe 1 in ten projects will get succeed now a days and even after the success of ICO the future of that token or coin will be still in great danger.So it may not have big changes in the established coin but some token price will go to moon too.

The majority of ico was giving an impact to the demand, remember there are some people were becoming the millionaires through ico instantly as long as they can choose the best project. As you can see that it has been giving the different value to the ico. The ico helps crypto to get the more demand. the newcomers are interested in the ico too. Ico can attract the newcomer to participate

Few years back , maybe ICOs brought some attention to cryptocurrency world by introducing some real-life applications and attracted many investors ,but nowadays,i think ICOs have a really negative impact on the whole market as most projects turn into scam one way or another which made new investors lose faith in the whole market.

People always interested when money involve. Although there is some advantages if more and more ICOs keep coming, because it means much funds needs to be distributed and more financers interested in doing innovatives projects. But in other side the disadvantages are those scam projects, and low budget projects that suddenly stop and drop their projects it just a waste of time.

new projects means more product in the market which means everything is going to roll over again, the economy is going great with crypto unless all of those ICO will turn scam. we already see how much dumps can affect us. not all traders can handle to hold a bear market, once someone dump millions, its gonna be a landslide another will do the same. ico is good for crypto.

Yes ICO's are contributing positively to the crypto market as it's going beyond the traditional method and pooling in the new technologies and business was models and trying to operate it using crypto and blockchain technologies which will spread awareness about crypto.

Theres only few ICO out there that has an impact towards the crypto market and I must say a lot of it were just scam, however due to massive popping out of ICO, investors nowadays were very picky in investing their money into these ICOs, they have to investigate further more to include it to their bucket list of profitable ICO. Overall theres not much impact of ICO, and its so sad

The ICO is very important for the market, it can't survive only with the coins, especially when many of them are unstable. they are required for further development. The market will not grow without a new project.

Now due to the abundance of the scum this influence can be regarded as negative. A new model of raising funds is needed, which would reduce opportunities for scammers.

In my opinion it varies from project to project. For example ETH was also ICO some days and it influenced the market very much. Here is the article on topic: https://icoguide.com/en/blog/what-is-erc20-and-how-does-it-affect-tokens and there are some coins also, which are scams and have only negative influence. It is difficult to generalize.

You are right so any ICOs  have a negative impact on the market. It sould be somehow regulated.

I think that diversity of ICO project is good for the market because they are attracting new investors here, and even the people who are far away from cryptocurrency can be attracted by some successful ICO experience.

Even if 10% of these projects will be successful and will be pleased with the society technological progress and new investments in the economy, it will be very useful for people and industry in general.

ICO's are good in my opinion. It provides a platform for developers to raise funds and work on an idea. The problem is that some people abuse this and there are many who gets scammed.

I do not think that many new projects benefit the market. New money does not come, the new ICOs are invested by those investors who have already participated in other projects. Of course, there are single projects that are interesting, new and promising. But in most of all projects that appear are simply copies of others or simply useless.

The impact of ICO is connected with ICO's aim. So the investment which was done for the ICO plays the leading role here. And development of ICO changes the market.

I agree that this time too much ico. But maybe this is a way to maintain crypto. Usually each ico has an airdrop and bounty program, which would be the most effective way to attract new investors in this field. It may be too much, but we need a new project to shape the market volatility.

Good ICOs will keep investors interested, no one wants to join a stagnant boring market with the same coins and faces everyday. It could do with some filtering though to reduce the number of scammers joining in

That's true. A lot of ICOs are sadly all hype but there are still a few good ones out there that deserve funding and could still yield profit for investors. That said, ICOs are definitely worth investing in if we know how to pick the right ones with proper research and staying active in social platforms. Speaking of good ICOs, there is an ongoing token sale for a project called Menlo.one. According to an interview with their CEO, this project is the solution ICO investors have been hoping for. Link to whitepaper: https://www.menlo.one

If analyzed then an ICO has a negative impact and also a positive impact. When more and more ICOs can prove that many people are interested in the development of digital currencies. But on the one hand that sometimes when there are too many ICOs it can cause concern because at this time many ICOs are failing and it can automatically decrease people's confidence in digital currency.

An ICO should get a regulation because with this an ICO can be controlled. For me there should be government support for the development of ICO because it can convince many people of the interesting things that are owned by ICO. As reversed as the government remains silent, more ICOs may fail because of the lack of rules governing how an ICO develops.

We must start from now and try to convince the government, if this is allowed then it could be the development of digital currency will be hampered.

When the market undergoes a long correction, many investors are more interested in playing on smaller market capitalization, and ico is one of the paths chosen by many communities. But of course conditions like those that are used by many parties to only collect funding without a project that is really potential, and it will be a contradiction of the innovation in this technology.

firstly we must to understand that ICO is the fastest and trend way in this ERA for attracting people to invest in.
and almost 80% of them are using ICO just for doing fraud and scamming people. so if you ask ICO will usefull for Market I think is yes if It work on positive trend , because they can make a growth for Our Economic Sector.

which I see how many people are expecting a stable market again especially as a result of the market bear crypto market becomes unstable and thus now there are many people who invest and hold their altcoin until everything is stable again

According to a market report, 82% of all the ICOs in 2017 were scams and less than 6% gave positive returns to the investors. If 2017 was that bad, then we can only imagine how bad can it be in 2018. Lack of regulations is the main problem and this is allowing the criminals to con investors.

Currently there are hundreds of ICOs competing to get money from investors, with so many ICOs that automatically affect the market, usually investors are active for trading but because of the presence of ICOs, the money switches to ICOs.

A lot of projects have deceptive behavior right from the start, and as many as 95% of ICOs after ICO are not well developed and their development team disappears if the project gets a large amount of money. Personally, I am an investor in ICO projects so they understand the psychology of the developers and if the project gets a lot of money then they will spend the money on big exchanges then finish the project development.

We can see that the growing tokens from ICO may disturb the market. but, as we realize that now, we can find out many exchange of cryptocurrency. the presence of the new coins may be good when they really have the good concepts and new ideas of the coins. Crypto is wide range and many technology types are developing in crypto.

Every ico will create their own marketing system, and of course that is enough to help the cryptocurrency industry. Of course there will be a negative side to the number of ico going on, but I think there must be competition in any situation, and ico is proof that there is still a lot of passion in this industry.

yes, of course the new coin is useful to balance the crypto market and make the existence of crypto always persist.

ICO is a manifestation of a platform that is part of our life needs, such as finance, loans, and others.

I do not think that ICO greatly influences the market, the main influence is created by whales .. but no one knows with accuracy.

Crypto is constantly coming up with new projects in the money market. Every ICO is a new project and affects the market plus.

Some ICOs may provide the best projects to the community some are not. However, we cannot say that every ICO may provide scam or even s***coins to their bounty hunters or to the investors. The need for an ICO is the way how we look the value on this community. The more projects the more opportunity for everyone to grow. Scams or un-sustained ICOs may not always be that way of failure; but, the need for us is to understand that they may provide the success that we need. Thus, instead of negative feedback, we must see this stuff as an opportunity.

Only the best projects get highly funded. Take a look at the dozens of ICOs that are languishing or failed to attract any ETH funding. For the most part, the crowd is smarter than you might think (although they are certainly not right every time).

so what is the problem if there are dozens of ICOs a day nonetheless the best are going to succeed anyway (with some exceptions).

Yes. lately, a lot of ICO is not good or fraud. so my advice before you participate in any project, you should do some research first. so you will be far from a fraud. so you'll be safe if you join a project you're following.

In my personal opinion, the most impact of the generous ICOs right now are decreasing investing activities. I believe that many more investors are growing in the crypto. but, because of many ICOs, they may be separated into those many projects. It makes the market also changes. The market can drop and rise easily.

I think there is no impact because I do not understand about ICO in the market because I do not know why ICO is still not able to be liked by many people what because this coin is fraudulent and thus now many people are waiting for the market to be stable again

ICOs develop the market because they are getting investments to themselves and in the crypto at all. And I think that they will be do this in the future as well.

When a project doing an ico mate, that is not enters in some market mate, transactions are in their website or their own wallet to send into it. So i must say that it will not affect in markets.

ICOs are very important, it is one of the important factors to develop market. but you should choose good projects for investment. visit www.icoguide.com for good rates, their scores are not paid.

I think 90% is 98% crypto is unnecessary waste. In my application, only BTC, ETH, NEO, TRX, XVG, XRP is enough. They are full of essential features of pre-coding. Currently there are too many ICO projects and produce too much coin, tokens unnecessary. Sooner or later they are deleted after a purge of the crypto market.

ICO is the best way to expend crypto market cap.

A startup company did lot's struggle to get funding. ICO is a new platform for getting funding easily from the open market. Positive & negative both impact have on the market. Some mind projects that bring new opportunity, way to expand the crypto world. That solve a real-life problem. So new money coming.

I heard Menlo One will have a "guild system" where actual people are incentivized to validate reviews and ratings. I like the guild system, but how is it different from icobench and icoratings wherein reviews or ratings are also still controlled by moderators?

Starting Public Offerings have just been supplanted by Initial Coin Offerings. Putting resources into organizations that open ICOs is easy to the point that it may be substantially more ideal over the conventional strategies by the greater part of the financial specialists sooner rather than later.
