I am observing since last six months...each and every ico is failing drastically...even the most succesful ones which got funded within the time limit...when enters the exchange their price is dropping by more than times....investing in ico these days meaning throwing away your money

it could be due to sharp competition, and the parent coin has decreased so many altcoins continue to fall and ico fails, and also like platform coins also experience a decline which can result in ico failing.

Perhaps the ICO trend has begun to be abandoned, because what we have seen is that ICO has only recently focused on investors. Then the roadmap is also not according to the specified schedule, how can investors trust the project like that.
The ICO project is currently only concerned with funding, in contrast to the ICO project in the past it was better to have a good relationship with the community, so ICO projects from the past to the present are still successful, such as LISK, ICONOMI, NEO, and others.

so if you gather from your conclusions, ICO is no longer useful, it is true, as if now the project enriches itself and leaves all the elements that help the process of beginning to end

Just because the investors lost their faith in ICO investing due to lot of scam ICOs which steals millions from the investors.And also the price drop of the crypto currencies also the reason for the ICOs failing since investors want to hold their coins to recover from the huge losses they have made since the beginning of this year.

Not all ICOs are like that, indeed it is natural that when ICO when registered in exchange will throw away the price. But in the long run, usually projects that have ideas and teams that work hard will be able to continue to rise.

seems the demands reduce on ICO,,
then a lot of ICO project do an airdrop distributions for their project,,
maybe thats one from many reasons why most of ICO failling my friend besides the red market situations

I think the market is in a very difficult period, so investing in ICO projects is risky for investors to lose money in this market. Everyone wants to make a lot of money from investing, but without knowledge, losing money is inevitable. The best advice is do not invest ICO in this moment and wait at better stage

I think various factors are involved in failing of ICos now a days. Let me tell you few of them (as per my observation)
There are so many fake icos due to which people are reluctant in investing.
Price for listing your token is increasing day by day, if you are going for some good exchange.
Most of the ICO's are not reaching their hardcap due to which they cannot list their token.
But still there are ICO's which are successful, like howdoo few days ago

I think ICO failed if they could not reach the target of a project. Many ICOs are good but their constraints occur when sales are less developed and less attractive. That makes most ICO in vain.

I think current not a best timing to entered exchange market, current market still falling, even if project raised a lot of funds in ICO, doesn't mean it'll have a good price when entered market, I don't know what is the reason, but I think we can't do anything right now until market fully recover

There is a trend with a certain portion of ico investors which sees them dumping their tokens as soon as the ico hits the first exchange because generally speaking the tokens then are worth more than they were aquired for.
Those people dont care about the particular ico its all about return of investment, thats one of the reasons you see the exchange value dropping drastically.

They can not achieve softcap because there are no investors. Investors fear the ICO when there is too much SCAM and they do not want to throw their money out the window

This is normal, no wonder!The market is now falling and, accordingly, even interesting projects are losing price! All this will last until the market goes up! Wait and everything will be!

What I can observe is that I do not see tokens on my wallet. They simply pull time and do not want to enter the market. Yes, they are all just afraid to enter the market.

Because now many ICOs are created with the desire to seize other people's assets, they never focus on improving the quality of their services or products. They took the money out of investors they run away

Bad market situation and poor team handling the projects. They just create the ICO project to earn on the collected fund which team will have gain. Some says that launching an ICO is like robbing a bank in an easy manner. Their job was to list the tokens and then dump the project for which they had earn already by dumping their part of tokens they get in the project.

It is because of the latest news regarding bitcoin that is causing in major drops from bitcoin, ethereum, to any other coins and tokens in the market. And also, when ico concludes, most of the people are aiming it to sell low in the exchange to get good returns, resulting also to failing of prices.

Not all ico are falling but most of them are falling because as the drop down in bitcoin price it affecting all altcoins and ico as bitcoin recover himself it's positive effects can feel on altcoins and ICOS.

because the ico model is outdated and outdated as a model for raising funds. When all this is finally understood, we will see some kind of new model, better than the existing one.

ICOs are so 2017...

It is law of nature, what quickly comes up must quickly come down. Also:

- No regulations (companies doing whatever)
- 80% of ICOs have no product (research project funding or what?)
- 9/10 ICOs have horrible token economics (high hardcap, high circulating supply, too many tokens)
- No token utility (most companies dont need a token, its just used to raise funds)

Not all of them are failing right now. I agree most of them look like they are failing but in reality there are still some that makes you great returns and working hard on their projects. There are two reasons why you think the ICO's are failing right now, one is the market, market has gone down a lot in the recent months and basically all year and that caused the altcoins to go down, even ethereum is at 200 dollars right now.

The second reason is that the money lost in the scam ICO's and other projects that did not take off like expected is known all around the crypto space and they are talked about it constantly whereas the good ones that took off and made it to all time high lists went down this year which caused them to look like not the success story they are.

Because today, the BTC does not show results that would please us, today for some reason, a lot of people think that cryptocurrency will die, I hope not. A similar situation is created artificially.

One factor with this phenomenon is the fact that most projects introduced via the ICO platform are still not operating and therefore have less value and most are not yet gaining the revenues to make the projects sustainable. People have the perception that these projects are just there to get money and whether true or not...these perceptions can affect investors' confidence and trust. Another factor is the fact that the cryptocurrency market is not yet that big compared to other markets like forex and stocks...this is growing though. In other words, this industry is not yet mature though we are getting there.

Not all ico fall, there are still ico who survive, ico that falls may be because the team involved is incompetent or lack of investors so that there is a lack of funds and eventually falls, for now it is better to invest in coins

There has been one observations I have about this projects, they intentionally list their Coin below its initial price and then tell us it's a utility token and that the market will decide it's price.

Well, another point is the fact that the market is failing is affecting many icos.

The ICO project is free and open, and everyone can post their own projects, so there is too much plagiarism here. They don't really need to change humans. Most of them just want to make money through ICO. Just look for an industry and then add the blockchain concept and you can come out and deceive others. Therefore, Ethereum is not worth the money due to the impact of ICO.

If the Groove it just has seen results of ICO entered the market then indeed invest in ICO in this time. but the long term after it was hounded by investors so it can provide the profit from the investment of ICO. in the election itself is also important because ICO is currently much ICO without the concept definitely and finally died after entering the market.

I cannot agree that each and every failed. There were some great projects, that have achieved a small profit science they went live on exchanges. But in 99 percent of cases, ICOs are failing and this happens because of the poor market conditions.

Since 2017, ICO is increasing, even scammers is increasing too..at the result, company was realize that ICO is the one of the best ways to raise fund and 2018 ICO paradise is started.. a lot of company even small group starting ICO day by day.. cause the number of ICO is huge, doesn't rule out the possibility of Fail ICO even SCAM ICO..

I think, fail ICO is demands from raising fund not reach the target.. its affect project is not work as desired (not according to what was planned in whitepaper).. so, this is the one of the most reason fail of ICO..

there is no such as wabi,icx ect in then :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-X :-X :-[ :'( :'( :'( :'(

In such a bad market, its price will probably decrease because the founder did not anticipate the price of ETH and BTC went down so low. That affects the value of the token and its price will probably drop sharply after trading.

Not all ICO failed, there are huge project who gained the success!
BUt there are a lot of ICO who did fail.
Why they are failure?
There are so many ICO who were scam.
Investors are being afraid now in investing to many projects.
Even the project are legit some investors dont want to be part of the ICO which results on failing to get the softcap.

These days, a lot of competition when it comes to ICO or even in the whole cryptocurrency. This might as well have been affected by some FUDs and negative feedbacks by those people which are against crypto. That's why, do not just ask something which could lead to a negative impression on the society.

  I think the main reasons for the ICO to fail are the crypto market down this year. Many ICOs are created only to scam so we can not see any ICOs that are successful in the recent time. That is really sad because we already have very successful ICO in 2017

A lot of ICOs fail because of the current condition of the crypto market. The number of crypto investors keeps decreasing everyday and its really affecting the success of ICO. since investors decrease on a daily basis then there is a low probability for success of an ICO.

The main reason is Ethereum in my view , why ? because many of ICOs uses ethereum platform to promoting their ICO , and when the ethereum falls , it affects on their budget , still USD is the main currency of the world and when Eth price comes down they would need to extend the number of ETH they asked for hardcap .

They are failing since they have nothing good to offer so people are not even willing to put their money in new projects since they know that the project is just going to end up failing anyway. There is also the issue of the entire market being down and that is why they are not investing since people do not have the money to spare to invest into new projects

ICO's are junk! look into trading through exchanges in real projects with real futures

First all coins are follow on bitcoin and EtH so now days bitcoin and eth both are down due to this coin are falling and second there are many coins in market all project aee not good.

At first, there are so many ICO projects still think that it's easy to get millions dollars at this time so they still set hardcap and softcap high as usual and it's the main reason why almost ICO project even can't reach to softcap at this time. But there are few good ICO projects still can reach hardcap easily like Bitnautic and some other project because they're really good projects no matter it's the worst period of crypto world.

You can't change the minds of those who wants to dump. After ICO, collecting funds, don't expect that there is an instant product. There is a roadmap for the project's development over time. It is an investment and don't expect that ICO tokens have high value instantly. There are some factor that the token is hyped that's why the price skyrockets at first and not all undergoes that kind of event. Better wait for the right price and ignore those who participating the dump. It couple of days, months, or years, you could get a higher profit than them. But if you really need money then why not but don't blame the ICO itself.

Exactly ICO means a waste of money and time now. But the project owners are the problem why the ico are not paying investors well. Very soon it will be difficult to get investors for icos. Only the developers that can help to change the situation so the token price will be saved from dumping by the bounty hunters.

True but not only the ICO coins, rather the whole market is falling. Anyway, ICOs used to get bump back in the day while now because of the dump from especially bounty hunters and the manipulation, those are getting worst day by day. In addition, most of the projects don't have any utility.

The reason is not far fetched ,the market price discourages people from investing in ICOs like it used to be in the time past

not each and not every, I still continue to see that some projects are very successful, but they have good investors, all another projects are failing because of many people lose they funds and cant to invest

if there is a project that is difficult to reach softcaps, I think the concept they make is less attractive to investors and also the lack of advertising to be better known by many people.

not all ICOs are failing, maybe all of this is caused by all those fake ICOs that tend to just scam people.
maybe they are being afraid of being scammed, mostly of the failed ICOs i'd seen are either fake or it lacks on potential.
people and investors are only being careful on what or where they are putting their money on.

the value of coins should indeed be more expensive after entering the exchange and that is the reason investors want to invest in ICO, but sometimes we have to wait because when the coin first entered the stock exchange, the project is still not perfect, they are still under construction so we have to wait until the project this is perfect and the coin has been registered on a large exchanger

I do not agree with you. The problem with ICO began in September, because even very promising projects began to collect very few investments. I think the reason is primarily in the fear of investors because of the falling market. No one wants to buy tokens, which after the end of ICO will cost much less.

Most people were disappointed and left the crypto market because of this long bear trend. All ICOs are falling because there is no buyers on small Exchanges and big Exchanges like Binance or OKex stopped the listing of new coins came from ICOs :'(

Current market condition is not favourable for ICO owners and the consistently falling bitcoin and market cap numbers is causing loss of value tokems when listed after ico. Investors have to be very prudent and critical nowadays of the projects they invest in.

It can be one indication that the project failed because the concept is less attractive. certainly, investors will be selective and choose the ICO who can give them a good thing with a great concept. other indications such as investors began to fear and doubt to invest in ICO may also be because many scams going on.

Bearish market is really taking its tow on ICO,  people prefer to invest in coins/tokens already in the market now than to gamble in ICOs which comes with greater risk. Once all stabilise and we have a bullish market, I believe ICO market will pick up

Many factor why ICOs not reaching their target. Some people think its because market condition and some people afraid join in ICOs because many scam ICOs right now.

maybe investors are afraid of investing in the ICO, because many projects that after being listed on the market, in fact the price is even below the ICO price, and of course that makes the investors disappointed, especially with a bad market

because the market turmoil makes most crypto fall, as you can see even successful ico can't maintain the price. that's why there are currently many ico developers who are considering entering into an exchange

Maybe because the team is not so serious also in pursuing the program until it has become reality. Come on, if the program is promising the team will be very eager to promote and develop it but instead most of them abandon it even without informing the bounty hunters and investors and they just raking the money of the people.

First I willvlike to debunk the notion that every ICOVis falling. In this long bearish market this year, I have invested in more than three ICO that were very successful. For those that want confirm , here is the list of these ICO: Pundix,.Midex, an Spectre, they are all doing well!

Ever since February this year, altcoins have not been stable at all. Bitcoin and ethereum keep falling like, I don't understand. I had the premonition that it would be like this ever since it started falling drastically. I do not think the investors have a hand in this present market, as we have different ICO projects. I still think those coins will blossom next year. But this year is out of it already.

I think this is also the impact of the crypto market fall so investors are no longer interested in ico investments so that the funds that can be collected by ICO have decreased or decreased lately. back again to the function of crypto in the real world for business and economics, if crypto or ico do a step that makes them can be used as a payment tool in a store, for example in a steam game, or online store, crypto functions will be more valuable and that will also have an impact on crypto prices.

For me the reason why each and every ICO or project failed because the is not feeling well or not on a good condition, so they could not achieve their goal or target, there are some good ICO but with the market situation, it affects all even coins also.

There are many factors leading to this failure, including internal market situation (investors trust and decrease in capital) plus the external "bad news"!

I strongly believe that we are witnessing a BIG change in the crypto market and only the STRONG projects will go on.. I mean, while the majority of ICOs are failing, there will be a couple long lasting ones. PRACTICALITY and STABILITY are both the keys to success in any upcoming coin/token.

GigZi can fill the gap and be the missing piece we are looking for. ..

This is very much achievable, thanks for the ability of managing wealth independently, with real Gold and Precious Metal price backing of the digital-asset value. https://www.gigzi.com

So this GigZi ICO has a practical value, but it is more secure using the Iristech biometric wallet and wealth protection too! https://www.gigzi.com

I think that new ICOs are not taking any effort to implement their the purpose of their project, so they are failing. Even now almost 10 years since the first coin was established, most of coins have not implemented what they were established for. It is high time that the coins should have started doing what they were actually established for.  

There are just too many scam ico who only want the money of the investors and not more.
They are destroying the ico market and driving away the investors.
Therefore it is difficult for good projects to succeed with an ico.

I believe there are some ICO's failing because of this bad market, but not all ICO and it's normal down once they listed in exchange because of the bounty hunters, you know they selling their tokens to get their money.

If you invest during the pre-sale when you can get bonuses, then after completing and entering the stock exchange, you can still get profit.

It's because of not enough demand and too many dumpers. The mentality of investors nowadays is that why would you invest in an ICO when you could just buy the price at its lowest after being dumped in an exchange? That is what is happening with every ICO. Exchange price is cheaper.

yes in the last time many of the ico or have been scam or have not reached the set minimum (soft cap) or after the end of the ico the price of tokens is drastically decreased(the bounty hunter that sell), partly due to market values, just hope that with the new year and if the market enters a bull phase, things will change

I don't see it is safe to invest on traditional ICOs until market stable. What can happen to ICOs even reliable top coins drop hardly. I think this the time for getting rest until market stable. But it can be rare ICOs that can be pumped even in this market. problem is it is really hard to find those icos.

let alone the ICO project that was just listed on the stock exchange, even bitcoin is currently experiencing a price decline.
indeed, the market is no longer profitable for crypto.
do not judge an ICO project only from the price increase but see how the product development of the project.

Ico failed because the market conditions declined and many investors lost money because of Ico scam. Investing in ico is still safe if we can see the team behind the project has a good idea and they really have a real team. Being part of Ico investors is very profitable but we must be careful about choosing projects to avoid fraud

The current bad market of the entire crypto market certainly makes it very difficult for an ico to succeed.
This is certainly one of the main reasons why so many ico are currently unsuccessful.

A lot of dumpers are entering the ICO market and this is why I never invested to it.

I saw it as a place for most investors that are only thinking of the profit after putting their money. And once the token gets listed to an exchange its now cashing out time. The essence of crowd funding is losing about the technology and project that investors are putting money.

Thats why ICO must be regulated so that investors investing in this ICOs must not loss a huge amount of percentage in their invested money if this happens the ICO owners must be sued once huge money has gone because of irresponsible ICO teams which is after bagging millions of dollars they will seldom update what is really happening on the project and eventually abandoned.

This is the sad reality now, I’m also wondering why its easy for a successful project to dropped like that. Bounty hunters well its given that they will dump their token right away but are those ICO are devoloping enough technology to give an investors a reason to stay?

ICO’s now are just a waste of money for some reason, but if its a real great technology for sure some investors are just waiting for the right moment to invest on a specific ICO. Its too risky now to invest on the ICO, we need to gain the trust of the investors again for every ICO.

This is not entirely true.  Many ICOs are now collecting the money needed to launch a project, but you are right that almost all coins lose their value after entering the stock exchange!

absolutely right, if the ICO system continues there is no improvement. everyone quickly does not trust the ICO system anymore.

Most ICO these days are only concern with the funding and not the project being successful and to growing it further attracting many investors. Typically when the ICO token is listed they stop there because they're already rich from the crowd fund of the project and not following the roadmap. Especially in this bearish situations where bitcoin is dropping other traders and investors will be scared to invest cause they might throw their money away.

It's the market situation, everything is going down and I wouldn't expect something else from ICO's. It's been like that almost the whole year.

Most of ico this year failed because its very hard for them to achieve their soft cap target, that's why  most of them they extend their project to collect more fund or attract more investors so that they can give a fulfillment or start their program according to their road or else if not they need to return the capital of their investment in the end.

   Some are still doing fine in the crypto market, not all are failing after the posted ICO? a good market structure, with clear fundamentals, very attractive market strategy, above all with the solid Support System available, consumer's confidence are high, remains the basic foundation of Good and marketable project after posting on the market, One should remember that investors are very critical on their investment portfolio.they are  all counting of the possible return of investment..so not all ICO are failing.....

ICO investment has entered the final stage, and only a few projects have been successful. Now that a large number of investors have left the cryptocurrency market, the remaining investors are leaving the investment in the ICO project, which is now dangerous.

I want to say that this is due to the lack of supervision in the ICO market. Do you believe? Due to lack of supervision, 80% of ICO projects have fraudulent behavior, they deceive investors' money, and hunters are also victims!

From a legal point of view, this type of tokens does not protect the rights of investors, since it is not formally intended for investments, but for practical use within the framework of the platform — Issuer of such tokens. More suitable for investors security-tokens (tokens-shares) have not yet received much distribution in the ICO industry.

if in my opinion too because with so many ICOs failing on that trip there are certain factors that make people lose money like investors, so now there are a lot of ICOs who just want to get profit by tricking many people because they think about money and use people's money

Many projects are successful and able to achieve goals because they are creative and compact in their work, the performance of a solid team is able to realize the project.
And many also fail or are unable to complete sales because of lack of support and weak strategies.

And it’s so hard to see what is happening with the market and to understand where projects get investment capital for development. They only live at the expense of investors, which are now blown away by the wind.

Yes, ICO is now in a terrible situation, many good projects are dying without even going public, all this is connected with a bad news background, people do not believe in new projects, as Bitcoin is constantly falling.

Investors don't put their money into new ICO anymore because investors are disappointed too many time. They will not invest in ICO because it has low chance of profit, while there are many safer investment choices and profitable, most of investors move to stock and oil, gold, dollar now.

There is a lot of reason behind the failure of almost ICO project since last six year ago. Since I have joined the market, the exchange rates always go up and down continuously, not stable, and I think that makes the price of ICO Token still falling, and now almost ICO project are non-potential.

Not only icos but also very important and leading projects fail too. There are a few projects gain success. Even their success is temporary. No surprise due to the bear market.

The ico s are failing and the main reason of that is because of bitcoin s  price it is not rising and also ico s are affected of that and for that they are failing and also I  think that the project of them are very important accordingto me.

ICO in this period investment becomes a difficult thing for the obtained results. This is also the influence of the crypto value continues to fall and certainly have an impact on price discrepancies ICO when entered in the Exchange. major projects and quality though feel worthless anyway as this is a way out and waiting to be taken.

I believe that ico is failing recently because there are so many scam ico. People are suspicious about any new ico.

Now is truly a hard time for the market. Not just icos are struggling, even the leading coins too. We can't know when will this recover. We could just hope for the best to come. In the positive light, this time is best for buying potential coins and wait for a good return in the future.

i think, it is about the market situation and something happened before in some project. People do not trust the new project and market stuation is very very bad nowadays. I have no hope for this year. Maybe next year will be much better.

Yes, now it is more profitable to buy a promising coin after the release of ya exchange, because in most cases, its price will be lower than on ICO.

Now the cryptocurrency market ICO is basically liquidated. All the developer teams are selling Ethereum. Perhaps the Ethereum has no chance of resurrection. The $0.138 Ethereum is very scary and may cause a large depreciation of the entire cryptocurrency. ETH,The cryptocurrency market ICO is now basically liquidated. All development teams are selling Ethereum. Maybe Ethereum has no chance of resurrection. The $138 Ethereum is terrible and could lead to a sharp depreciation of the entire cryptocurrency. ETH, the dangerous point of BCH was ignited. The price of bitcoin will now drop. the dangerous point of BCH was ignited. The price of bitcoin will now drop.

Firstly, the fact remains that a lot of projects in the market today have actually ended up failing and could not keep up to their promises of a product.

Secondly, it seems the whole ICO space is pretty much hitting that point where some will end up not recovering from based on the general market condition itself. This is one of the reasons why people need to understand the market and be careful what they are investing in.

However, time will tell how things eventually turns out. I know over time even if it is not now, shit ICOs will end up in the drain, those with good products will thrive but for now, being a volatile market, and the fact that there are huge manipulators, we just have to live with it.

FinanceX isn't failing! After a successful Private Sale and Presale, their ICO starts tomorrow with a huge promotion. 30% bonus FNX token for anyone who purchases on the first day.

It helps to find an ICO with a fully functioning product rather than just an idea.

The main reason for the fall in ICO is because ethereum price is falling seriously which is as a result of the bitcoin price fall. The market situation isn't helping matters at all.

It's really very pathetic the crypto market is falling everyday because of the current regulatory processes in the cryptocurrency space,however we should be very patience and wait till the market recover. Thanks

It should be said that 80% of the projects ICO failed. The entire encryption and ETH prices are falling. Now people are very cautious about investing in ICO. Maybe a new model of raising money is needed.

There are many reasons why ICO projects fail. Even if their tokens can successfully enter the market, the token price may be lower than the ICO due to the overall decline in the market!

This is a situation that must be faced, seeing ico who lack a reliable strategy and a team performance that is not compact, support is lacking, ico will fail. Preparation of mature ico will reach the goal.

Could it be because of the general situation of the market? We have been experiencing a heavy dump in recent days and this has an impact on the whole crypto world. I do not recommend to invest in icos these days.

The whole cryptocurrency market is actually taking a huge hit, so in a way; it is expected to see the market react in this way, with ICOs being a part of them. Actually, we all know the extent of the volatility of this market overall, so getting to see things like this happen, is just one thing that should always be expected.

However, it is not like it would be the end of things as some people are thinking. It is just a trend, it comes and goes, and it is only left for you to try as much as possible to not let it pass you by without taking advantage of it.

As long as you invested in an honest developer that will refund your investment there is no problem, the big problem is whenever devs run away with your funds, that will result in losing funds and confidence for investors, this is the reason why we need to know who are the people behind the project.

I think a lot of them came out of greed and felt it is rosy one of the ways to get enough fund, but in reality it is not as the moment as the market situation is very ugly and most investors are scared of buying. It is the only the projects that have already enough fund to run their campaigns and possibly start with airdrops and bounties without need to sell ICO and will to start small and grow over time will succeed

The reason why many ico does not become successful and becomes a failure is because the investment is small. The reason why investors dont invest because of low price of the token once thet sell it.

The main problem of ICO is that most project didn't really cash out and get the money the required to pay as the salary for Programmer or developer
Hence, when a bear market happens, everyone decided to dump and most of these ICO Project, got panic and dump and realised
"We have no money to develop the project anymore"
Which is why most ICO project just dissapear

The answer is very clear I guess, bitcoin in a miserable state and btc is not good, every projects and every icos drop automatically. Also I'm looking to new projects and there is no good project nowadays so this is other reason for big drop of icos.

i think here is 3 problem.

1 - Big bennefits in ICO period, for example (80% - 1000% in ICO period)
2 - airdrops
3 - bounty

haw team can solve it?
1 - big bennefits is not verry bed, becouse  its big help for breack starting price, (softcap or hardcap)

2 - 3 - i have one idea, bounty and airdrop participants can sell coin with any price, low then ICO price to, becouse them havenot cost. but ICO participants cant, becouse if i buy  1000 token with 1$ price (per token) - i willnot sell my capital - with lose.  and if no1 will not make order with small price - price willnot DROP. now bounty and airdrop participants can sell tokens with 50 - 90 % down, becouse them havenot cost.

bounty is good, for marketing, but i think if all bounty compaign will  USDT  payable, this will great. becouse :

1 - they couldnot drop ICO price, if bounty member like token - after listing them can buy with USDT. and its mean - new order with more then ICO pice. this is best way for - 1 ICO team, 2 ICO investors, 3 Bounty members, 4 for total market cap, becouse when price is droped, total marketcap is down.

i think this is best way for stability in future.

I hope your ICO won't be the same as others ICO who's either good at pump and dump or changing rules at the end of the contract. Most ICO these days are created by the greedy scams who likes to do nothing but want to get a real quick rich scheme. So disgusting to help their ICO to promote and yet they were the one who scams each participants and investors.

its willnot down. i think so, becouse soft cap is only 18 000 000$ and its reached with USD.

I don't see any problem in it. There always are dishonest and stupid participants in each market. The farther the market develops - the more skills people get. So they will invest in good projects which aimed at success despite the situation in the market.

I think that's why now many ICO have very small fees, because people are simply afraid to invest where the risk of losing is too great. When everything changes, people will start investing in ICO again.

This is definitely due to the influence of the market. Investors are now becoming limited because they are trying to for now avoid investing to cryptos because there is a continuous downtrend present in the market. Projects are mostly failing and the tokens are having much lower market value thsn ICO price resulting to huge profit loss most of the time.

We're mostly ICO apparently fails due to the reason the only few investors have the guts to invest with their product. And of course, nobody will give trust to someone or in a certain project if it is isn't working, as mostly ICO never shows that before they start.
The life of crypto seems to be changeable as volatility goes wild and we are absolutely affected on these.

They failed because their reputation was infected, by the bad behavior of black ICO developers. And in the end, this bad behavior resulted in the birth of a number of new cynicism among investors and people who want to use it, specifically cryptocurrency users. With the presence of such an event, surely there will also be negative assumptions, not even a few investors who have withdrawn their funds.

Yeah you’re right and its really hurting in the eyes.Even the once great binance listed project tokens like IOST and many more are dumping as hell.Its due maybe to coming Christmas and new year season that many investors are withdrawing their money after experiencing big loss since bear season and don’t want to lose more of their funds.Its as if investors nowadays are very more cautious compared last year.

This is mostly all due to this long and vicious bear market of 2018 that is turning ICOs and existing coins both into dust. Need next bull run soon for ICOs to start going up like 2017.

Not all ICO's are unsuccessful but a lot of these projects aren't based on an original idea or have a quality MVP ready for launch and investors are being more cautious now after having seen so many projects without these attributes fail since last year

Add to that a lack of regulation to protect investors and a declining market and you have a much more difficult climate for successful fund raising

Many ICO are failed in there tokensale this days because of the bearish market situation they did not not reach there target to fund their project that's why they will decide to stop there tokensale,that is expected already if the tokens is listed into the Exchanges the price will dump we cannot control the dumpers because they have their own Decisions and only the project owners and the team can make a way to improve the price of the tokens.

in my opinion the price of crypto currencies has decreased very badly and many people are not responsible for what they do in the ico

I think this is because of the bitcoin. The price of bitcoin is currently going down that is why investors is not investing in other ICO's. Also, there are so many ICO's out there, maybe that is also a reason why some of them are failing.

I agree with you. Now investors prefer to buy top coins rather than tokens of even the most promising projects. When will be next bull run than we'll see new wave of ICO.

we must realize that not only ICO coins but also non-ICO coins such as bitcoin
i guess this market so suck, ALL COINS are drop so deep

Ico with no working product will be eliminated, and thats the reason why some ico price is falling. Only the best ico with a product will succeed.

Maybe is time for thinking outside the box and try new formats of investment?

There are too many factors about this.
1. Too many competitors
2. Bearish market
3. The projects is not quite serious in handling the token price
4. Etc

- Indeed, with the current market situation, investors are actually investing in potential altcoins, top coins, these are quite safe places and can bring them a source of profits in the near future. While ico can not bring them such good things because the bloody market has greatly constrained capital from investors, investors can not pour more money into the project and, of course, when capital is not enough, the project also collapses from that point, and not just a project, that is a lot of projects, creates a very bad reputation and that makes investors stop participating in the ico, wait until everything stabilizes again

There are a lot of factors affecting the failure of ICO. I think the major reason is the current market situation. Most ICO failed because most investors kept away from investing because they have lost a lot of money.

Maybe that happens because most of those coins are terrible? Did that thought cross your mind? And when you add that most of the market is going down and even some of the best projects that we have like bitcoin and ethereum are crashing hard then what hope can you give to those projects that are just starting out and that have nothing going on for them, of course they're going to go down after the ico.

i think ico is not useful anymore

Well from what i have observed in one of the worst ICO's to date.. khmmm BEE im looking at you....  



- Someone hacked their KYC database and consequently stole a bit more then 1M from their ICO investors. ( community's trust  was broken from the get go)

-They listed on only 1 exchange (CobinHood) cose of USA regulations. Total daily volume is around 100€

-*Rumor* They HODLT most of their ETH from the ICO trough the bear market - REKT

- The team was good at hyping fundraising for the ICO but had no idea how to scale its user base once they  went in Alpha

- Their CEO is a man child

And all that contributed to a nice fall from 0.25$ to 0.007$



GG

The current situation should correct the situation with all these incomprehensible iso that no one needs. True, this situation many players will withdraw from the game, who sit in the Altcoins.

At the moment, all the ICO project is non-potential because of the bearish market. As a bounty hunter, joined a lot of ICO projects this year, I see the same situation that every ICO project is delayed the day of releasing Token because they worried that the bounty members and investors would panic sell and make the price go to the bottom. So that I will wait for the day, the market recovers to continue working for the bounty ICO projects.

what you convey is very true very difficult at this time getting ico that can benefit the conditions and situations of the development of crypto currencies that continue to decline

because dev ico doesn't really float their ico, they only want investor money, this is a fraud behind ico, indeed not all ico are like, but if there is a dev that really fights for its ico, then you have to invest there, it's rare once now, this is not 2017 where ICO is very popular

IMHO, the market failing effected most of the ICOs. Token/Coin too much depend on BTC. WHY? Because most exchanges pair most of these token/coins with BTC and only big coin such as ETH, BCH, LTC. No opportunity for other coins to grow and expands. Its easy for whale to play in cryptomarket, just target BTC and exchange then other cryptos can be collapsed. So i think, we need a solution so that other tokens/coins can standalone besides just bind with BTC. One of it, to create their own sales places. If every tokens/coins have their own market/exchange i believe a competitive market value will exist again. One of nightmare for token/coin is being delisted from exchange, then the coin/token value doom and most effected are investor and coin/token holders.

All we know this year is not a good thing to invest in the ICO project, in addition to risk fraud the next case is what you mean. You can imagine when the price of bitcoin declined from last year's ATH, $20,000 to the price of $4300 now and you can compare it when a new coin is released and only has a price below $ 1 and crashes then you can predict where the price will go. The side effect of cryptocurrency price reduction is not just on one coin, almost all negative news comes, the cryptocurrency price will decrease.

Beyond influence if i may recall some of it, most ICO these days are not onto their projects but rather collecting more investors to raise their funds. A quickest way of making a quick-rich scheme, these are fraud behind ICO projects. You can rarely find a good ICO these days with a good manager and a team.

I stopped investing in ICO 8 months ago. it became obvious to me that the market is now weak and investments will not be collected in the right amounts

many projects fail because of the overall market decline. people stop trusting cryptocurrency and do not invest in ICO

Yes you are right. Very much scam!! If you invest in ico you will lost your money. And people dont do my mistake and mistakes more people , be carefull

And you did the right thing, if bitcoin the best cryptocurrency that has ever been created and that has the group of the most talented developers around the world is going down in value, then what hope has an ico that has developers which have no experience, their talent pool is way lower and most of them are not motivated to try to change the world since they only care about the money?

Because they are basically all scams.

The possible reason is the limited number of investors. Many investors are now scared to invest unlike before because the market downtrend is really dominant. Most of the tokens' market value are falling after the listing on exchangers. Due to such unfortunate scenario in the market, investing seems to be more likely to result into profit loss.

The team must anticipate all possible outcomes for their coin and prevent it from reducing its value after entering the exchange. If this happened, then the team did not take care of it. There are a lot of projects and competition also plays a role.

It is precisely with the thought that investing in an ICO is just a waste of money, so investors will think that way when they read our discussion in this forum, so that some ICO projects in the future will not get investor trust and will fail again.
stop making things worse

It is indeed because of the market price fall down. The bad market let the projects in trouble by halving also their crypto being collected which will not be enough to implement the project. The soft cap will be break down also as the market price for crypto now is falling down. Probably some of the ICO projects will going to delay the implementation of the project and definitely will going to have a longer time for locking some of the coins/tokens before holders can trade.

Not only on last 6 months but when this year just started where ICO is starting to fail when the market starts to crash. Losing up money on last years ICO is present but not really
bad same as we experience as of now.This is why I already stopped on investing and same as you said this is the best way on throwing out your money besides gambling.

Because the market is at the bottom. People have no money, that's why they don’t invest, everyone has already purchased the full amount of their deposit and are waiting for growth. Due to the fact that people do not have extra money, projects and do not achieve their goals

There are now too many ICO projects to raise funds for the project but some of them are fraudulent ICOs, which take advantage of many of the assets of the investors so they have no confidence in the project. ICO.

this is not only a problem of peresaingan, but the commitment of the ideas made and innovative in the future is useful for the community, but if the ICO fails, I don't think that most coins also fall in evidence in 2017, almost all ICOs after the launch are pumped because public interest in crypto

I disagree, the developers should not care at all about the price of their coin, they need to concentrate only on delivering what they promised to their investors, if developers did that we will not see the market of icos going down so dramatically but since they instead choose to worry themselves with all kind of other activities not related to their project their coin eventually fails.

If the project is planned and prepared well, it is run by a professional developers team, there should be no problem for it to be successful. The truth is that the very long bear market period has brutally destroyed many promising projects. I hope that this is the end of the drop in prices and investors will return to the ICO market.

Actually every ico is not failing, when market is green and everything going well, most of them are collecting much money at ico than they need and after good days they are dropping much because their marketcap is just a balloon and they are dropping to their real price.

So what do you expect?Cant you see that even the top coins and tokens are falling also?And you wanted that those newly released in exchanged will grow beyond this top cryptos?ayou are impossible dude stop smoking grass because this can’t help you either.remember that crypto is volatile so a possibility’s of growing and fallingre both considerable and patient is the key to success.if you canno Afford to wait for the right time,then this is not your world

Not every ico is falling if you know how to find the correct ones. There are many projects that promise but in the end do not go forward because the coin is not really useful in the market. You have to look for ICOs in which you are sure that the coin will be used for sure, basically that investors have to use it for some useful purpose. For example, the EVOT coin will be used in an exchange of a trading platform and will be necessary to use its trading bots in addition to obtaining large discounts if used in the academy. It is a very exciting project, I believe that this currency will multiply its value in a few months since any investor that works with this platform will have to use its coin and also hold it to use the bots. Check out their website in case you're interested: https://www.evoai.network/

Absolutely the ICO projects at the moment are non-potential, and the price is very low. So that invest in ICO project has not been encouraged. The primary reason for ICO falling is the bearish market. As a bounty hunter, I see that when the market is going well, there is a lot of potential ICO projects.

How do you expect an ico to keep in the current conditions?In my crypto environment, I think there is a problem of trust.For Icos,this confidence shortage is higher.No one wants to join an ico.Buy more cheaply after the stock market.Therefore, icos fail.

if you already have the confidence to invest, it is better to see the potential of the project in the future, so that we will not be disappointed in the future.

Current market situation is solely to blame for failure of ICO along with team giving up when they don't reach the funding that is needed to run the project. I think 2017 was the best year for ICO but we have seen some sharp decline in 2018 but that doesn't mean it will continue.

Because of so many scams project, ICO investors don’t trust that anymore and until now very few are a real investors. Most of the failing project has no real usage in this market and they really deserve to be kicked out. You can wait for exchange listing or take the risk of an early investors, its all your decision.

Nope it's not just the current market situation that's too blame here. The past years since 2017 have seen an explosion of scams and bogus projects that aim only to take people's money. It tainted the ico industry and scared away would be investors.

There are things to be considered here, how do they fail? Is it due to the market condition or incompetent team? Majority of ICO's now had not funded due to some investors lose their confidence and they understand the risk due to bear market, some projects shut down and lay off employees to survive the crash but on the positive side its business and this is a big challenge for everyone who is involved in this space on how to tackle situations like this specially the start-ups. Everybody is affected by this sudden crash but once we give, its over.

some ICOs have been successful, recently. Such as CSM. in such a depressed bear market. they are real jewelry. when the bull market returns, they will become big volcanoes.

I think the main reason is that the experience of the others, that is why investors may sell their token after they listed on exchanges, and everything will be dump.

Investors no longer believe in a favorable outcome and it is easier to buy ready-made tokens, which are rather quickly dumped than to wait and take risks. Both trust and interest are falling.

A lot of ICOs have been struggling due to the bearish market, and also struggling in comparison to the insane ICO fever of 2017, when it seemed like any project that mentioned the word 'cryptocurrency' could raise millions of dollars in a couple of minutes.

The new projects we see now are not worse than those last year, it's just that the economic climate isn't as favourable. There are plenty of good new projects around.

The abuse of ICO has led to the disappearance of a large number of investors. If no new investors join the ICO investment, the cryptocurrency market will fall. This is a disgusting cycle, and the chances of ICO success are very low.

the main reason why ICO fails is because of the teams view, most of the ICO today focus on the income that they can get from it, after ICO the team behind the project disappear that is why investors are afraid to enter investment to the ICO today, very few are serious about their project.

The trust and interest from the market to the new coin. Remember this becomes a very important thing to prevent the price gets dump to the bottom. That's why any trusted ico must build its community.

it's just because mostly investor dumping their coins so they can get there money back and invest to another project..

Maybe this happen because most of ICOs don't have any working product which can bring something new on crypto and can be use on more domains, and also most of people don't invest now.

95% of ICO are doomed to failure initially, if you yourself can not choose a project for investment, you need to seek help from specialists!!! https://pyyro.com

That is why the tokens allocated for the devs should be freeze for over two years or more. That way no dev could sell out their tokens leaving the price not fall easily. They hold more than the investors bought sometimes and price will drastically fall if they sell it when it goes live in any exchange.

The ICOS projects failed heavily in my view of swimming because Bitcoin fell so quickly that Altcoins also fell. This made the crypto market unsustainable. On the other hand, too many ICOS projects made them It is difficult to distinguish what is a good project and a scam project. The investors become more confused than ever.

Irresponsible developers or we can also call them scammers, after being listed if the team behind is just after for money the results will be like this, no wonder, value of coins will be dumped and will no longer bouncing back, due to the reason the team itself will sell out the tokens along with those early
investors and bounty hunters.

I totally agree with your opinion that the cause of ico failed because the team and developers were irresponsible and indeed most of the current ico failed, of course this is quite alarming

the simple answer for your question is yourself is know the answer why many crypto project are failed for developt their product, because they are just want investor money, is a simple

The decline in market prices that occurred throughout 2018 did have a very large negative impact. Many ICO projects failed due to lack of funds. Funds collected are not enough to run the ICO project. And it's better to invest in existing coins and the top 10 coins, I think that can give you an advantage.

Most ICO projects are currently showing underdevelopment and in all it can be said to be scam. I think we should halt investment in ICO projects because the current risk is very high and should choose a better investment. Currently, many new trends are born, but IEO will be a promising investment channel in the future that you need to consider in the future.

The first is because the crypto market condition that really bad on that time (it's start going up right now).

The second is the project itself, if the project is not good and only repeated project and ICO, then the investor will not invest on that ICO. Why would investor invest on hopeless project, not right?

I think the biggest reason is not because of external factors dude, but from within themselves or internal reason, we know that a lot
of ico failed because they don't have good innovation, bad marketing, or even scam..

Most people who hold ICO coins experience panic. They think that the ICO coins that have been listed on the Exchange will decline, so they immediately sell coins. So that many ICO companies suffer losses and can even experience destruction.

This is because their source of value is falling also the BTC. The value of bitcoin is still not in a good status that's why many of the ICO right now are failing. Most of the ICO's are based on what bitcoin price is meaning of the value of bitcoin decreases for sure there will be a change on that ICO and that will cause failure.

Yes. I still don't understand why that happened while they achieved the hardcap when calling for funds.
It seems that the founders see ICO as a joke because it is a contract that is not legal and they easily deceive people.
so don't invest in ICO projects anymore. Let it die and scammers will have no place to cheat people.

What happened in 2017 and 2018 when the ICO boom was that they collected bitcoin and ethereum from the sale of tokens in 2017 and then sold them all in early 2018, ICO now if they want to survive is the one that has an ecosystem and the use of coins is clearly. Not just coin-making listings then pump and a dump occurs

I agree with this. With the price increase, they made quite a lot profit and also people earned profit and they have had enough to spare in ICOs. That's why they easily used raise in millions. But now it isn't the case. Quite opposite, people have become more cautious now. They don't want to invest in every other thing. Thus, ICOs without a product are completely useless now.

Many ICO projects failed and lacked the trust of investors as the main reason why ICO could hardly survive in 2018 but this year things got worse when the IEO was first released and it makes all ICO projects a landfill. I think the launch of IEO projects makes investors feel safer because we can secure assets and can trade more easily. In my opinion this will be a new beginning for investment and we should look for major IEO projects to have the opportunity to participate.

Icos are failling now because the market is generally down we only need to wait a little to see if the market is going to recover and  pull most of this new coins upwards.  Some of the icos also did not have a good products behind them and that makes them never to recover.  

Yeah, the bearish market is responsible for most of the ICOs failure as most of the people do not hold ICO coins for long and panic sell the coins in the bear market. Also, most of the ICOs nowadays are not so innovative to influence people due to the team behind its development is not effective...

Every ICO is failed actually not like that but from the last 1year   majority of the project failed it’s undoubtedly true. Ethereum is play most important role in the behind of every single successful project. Because we can't imagine without ETH project will be develop. Mostly eth based project in the ico platform, When ETH gradually big falling down than ico going to failed.                           

when the market increases, of course it will also affect altcoin and ico to rise. but now we need to look at some tokens from scam projects that have been registered in exchange, whether they will have prices and follow the market even though there are no updates.

Since 2018 many ico are scam and many ico fail even if they enter the market their prices are never above the price of ico. It happened since the price of bitcoin from almost 20,000 $ dropped so drastically that it affected other coins and also affected ico. Besides that the number of ico scams makes people less interested in ico, so that other ico fail.

Because of Ethereum those ICO are showing them as a team at least using smart contract. Mostly these ICO are coming up with the backup project or idea and only want to make the crowdfunding money alone.
So better side we need to have the private investors for the project and proof for it but mostly do not have that. These two main fails, automatically ICO also will fail.

But of course there are some that successfully released their ICO and gather enough funds from the investor's but not all of them and besides 90% or more fails and paused the projects to prevent drowning. They are now still looking for better solution on how to make their hard created project become successful in future.i dont know when they will.continue but one thing is sure,that some of them in future will be happen

Don't forget the irresponsible investors and bounty hunters who looked to dump every single token the minute it got listed. Private investors who got the best discounts, bounty scammers who got huge allocations for nothing, where do you think the money comes from? Then you are left with all the small investors and actual supporters who are left holding bags of shitcoins.

No, just because ICO fails doesn't mean they are not good, there are many reasons that can effect the ICO like the bear market will bring most of cryptocurrencies down making investors don't want to invest anymore, and because too many ICOs nowadays that we can barely find a really useful project while there are too many scammers and trash projects.
I guess the crypto market will have more ICOs in the future but unless we can improve ICOs quality we will never see this market rise higher than before.

DEV is the first factor to blame with maximum ICO achievement, sometimes they do not care about the continuation of the project they are planning, they do not care about the fate of the price of their tokens, they do not dare to maintain their ICO prices. they let it fall.

Mostly it was happen only because of fraud who wanted to make large amount of money like promoting this and in sometimes people will not support some type of ICO this is also not the reason for heart failure happening today.

Most of them is just shitcoin so this is normal to drops much. If I like any project at these days, after ico I'm waiting for dropping 4-5 times and after that I invest and hodl the projects.

I think the price decline is unavoidable and the price decline is almost experienced by all new coins listed on the stock exchange. This happened because the decline in the price of Bitcoin dropped very sharply. But now in the second quarter of 2019, market prices will slowly recover. And maybe more new coins will experience growth.
