NOPE

I say - they are ALIVE!

Yeah you hear me right!

They are ALIVE because they can no longer sleep on one ear knowing funds will come in regardless

They are ALIVE because they focus on building the technology

They are ALIVE because the market requires this

We are going through a maturing phase - the strong will survive and they will deliver.

No one will remember the ones who quit - no matter how strong they presented themselves to be

People will remember the ones who stayed and delivered.

I am part of the www.elrond.com team

Our prototype is now opensource and very soon we will deliver the first version of the testnet.

Give me a shout if you want to find our more about us :)

Cryptocurrency are getting more shits rather than the functionality, they have no real use at all and just used as a trading assets everyday.

They are not so alive, they are dying whether you like it or not. Many of them are still shit. Becoming scams after they have profited from the investors and bounty hunters who have helped them gain more before running away.

It’s not that it seems to me, but it’s already difficult for me to choose a project in which even taking part is very, very difficult. I think that in general the story of ICO projects in the future will have a rather serious turn.

Today ico don't raise money because now after crowdsale the price of the coin goes down very much

Truth is ICO are actually dieing and getting weakened as each day passes by.
It does not mean that no project can survive Ico, iT only means that only valuable projects can succeed in these spaces.

gone are the days where fake ico defraud everyones, we are now wiser and stronger

Oh, what a thread! I think many will really react to this because you are really are against the flow. But that is really good for me. Most of the time, people who are really positive in any way even at the worst time and grab the opportunity while others are on their deepest moment will become the successful one at the end. In fact, you have a point. Many will not agree but I will surely remember and bookmark this thread and I will go back when you are right. I will congratulate you BIGTIME!

ICOs are dead on 2018 now its time to trade and profit!

Even in a time when the market was so shabby in the last 3 months, ICOs collected $ 160 million. I think it's too good to expect a dead person.

Ico is dead, because public trust in ico is gone and they are not comfortable and ico is no longer profitable. I think you should focus on developing and launching your products before ico starts, because products that are ready will be more attractive to the community. Have you made an announcement thread here?

lol.
ICOs have been around for more than 2 years now and in this very long time we have not even seen a single ICO to "build the technology" one bit. there are other cryptocurrencies without any fund raising and scamming that have done a lot more than all the ICOs combined.
so yeah, they are dead.

This is the thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4430681.0

Well not exactly as we can clearly see @OP... after ETH, thing will never be the same again.
Question is and always was, should they be dead by now? Should they have had a chance to even be born?
I say 'no. It was always a piece of nonsense, money grab and time waster.
I saw quite a few high promises of profit, awesome usability and super high hopes in general.
Nothing came to the existence. The team always disappears after a while, projects get abandoned along with supporters.
It will always be like that, this bandwagon is long gone.
Nevertheless I wish you well #roboro. Miracles so happen from time to time.

Fully agree, they are very close to the real death. We don't use any real technology that has been brought by ICO projects nowadays. But still there is a chance that 1-2% of ICOs will make something worthy in a year or two.

Since most of the ICOs are residing on ERC20 etherium platform, due to bear market conditions, some are cautious about going live or conducting token sales.
I have seen many projects which are waiting for good market conditions. Off course some projects are continuously focusing on development part with the funding from private sales. Only those which have strong foundation, good experienced professional team and advisers are confident about their success.
Also soon the most awaiting decisions about ETF and regulation on cryptocurrency, will decide the fate of some projects.
Lets hope that year 2019 will bring the hopes which were there in mid 2017 or early 2018.

Not at all! I agree with you.

It is going through difficulties just like the general crypto space.
It is an excellent way to fund blockchain projects. Just that there aren't much great projects to fund these days. Great ones will come once in a while though.

I hope that in the future it will be extremely difficult for scams or substandard projects to attempt raising funds.


I wish you all the best!

I don't say that ICOs are dead but I guess with all the comments I have read, I think it's time to doubt the credibility of it. With almost a billion dollars being collected by all ICO, public trust started to deminish due to the doings of those scammers and hackers who leverage on ICO investors.

ico's will never ends mate even though the market situation  is getting worse! . because they don't focus in one coin which is they keep making a new project to release as soon as possible while the market is struggling as we see nowadays  . Actually i don't know what are the reason behind , perhaps they're have a plan despite of this circumstance.

I agree that real projects that have a strong idea and a strong team are still alive and continue to develop their projects.

ICO market is slowly dying and main reason is that there are no new projects with really brillant and innovative ideas but they are jus t a copy of older ones...

I don't see them so much alive if we relate the ICO's succes from early 2018...because the bear market has no mercy upon ICO's or even good projects with a working product. What I find unregular is why do the ICO's are asking for such a high capital now ? They seems desparate for some extra money and I can't understand their vision :(

No fam. Stop promoting another shitty ICO. 95% of the ICOs today are either dead or useless. The ICO bubble burst the moment 2018 start. I don't think we are going to make a recovery for that. Although we still are having some ICO being created each day, I don't think they are making a lot of funds anymore.

Now there is a very high percentage of ICO scams, how long it will be very difficult to say, but sooner or later it will be better in this direction.

I couldn't agree anymore! My direct question to you is! if you believe that ICO is already dead, Then why you still promoting it by wearing that Grabity Signature? You join that specific signature Bounty that has running an ongoing ICO how ironic, Lets set aside that burnt we must go to the factual evidence, last week the Article on CoinTelegraph has an interesting report stated" The ICO's that already finish in January has raised the whopping $160 Million dollars of funds from investors" Is that how we conclude and portrayed that ICO is dead already Declining of ICO listing on ICO Bench is not a right conclusion to proclaim that the ICO's are dead already. "Declining is not Dead" And i still believe that if the right process and regulation is imposed on any ICO's as form of safeguarding the investors money! The trust and confidence of the investors will definitely return.

You are mistaken. You are too impulsive. Most projects have focused on draining money. Nothing more. Technology. I recently see little good projects. Most of them look like scams.

I believe so, since there are lots of risks that contains the ICO in such a way that all of it scams its investors there is a way that investors may come to end up not investing anymore. There's this Security Token Offering which has more advantages than Initial Coin Offering, this STO is move for ICO to change. STO is much more secured and safe since before having a token the company/ developers must have an back up asset ( tangible ones) so that investors must have their fall back if the STO fails.

It's interesting your enthusiasm, why not help people to know more and use these projects?
If people continue to buy what they do not know, these ups and downs will happen very often!
See how many ICOs have been released in recent years and which of these are actually alive and producing something?
Be sincere with yourself and see reality.

I think the era of ICO has ended, but there will be another one - the era of STOs. I hope they will reduce (at least partially) the amount of fraudulent projects and other scam attempts on the market. Plus this can lead to mass adoption.

Many people are disappointed with the ICO, because after they spent a lot of money to participate in the ICO project but eventually, the tokens invested in Ico were destroyed in the market. Although not all of them are, but mostly. And this is what makes a lot of people disappointed, so now ICO is slowly starting to dim and not as popular as it used to be.

ICOs are dead, although I wish your project the best. We are just having the last possible phase of successful ICOs. After now, new funding scheme for crypto projects will emerge.

I even thought otherwise. lately I see so many ICOs that have very good potential to grow in the future. although not like 2017, but I feel that the development of the ICO is now starting to develop again.

ICO rotation will still exist and certainly ICO will still be created because with the existence of ICO this can help the implementation of blockchain technology and more solutions will be created.

I did not see any STO project that appeared in 2019. It seems to be too new to apply in this market, but I also agree with you that the ICO in the last 2 months has recovered, I have see some good ICO and it will launch in Q1 and Q2 2019

I think ICO is not completely dead, like the word life is reluctant to die even reluctantly. Investors still think about investing in the ICO. because there are a lot of ICO scams so far. So it is very difficult to choose the real ICO.

ICOs could be presumed dead on their current status but could still be revived through innovative unique projects.

So what is your purpose wrote this thread? bounty hunters who will know the development of the ICO. I think every project has a goal to gain profit, but when each ICO project that has been completed but does not meet their targets then the ICO fails and harms many bounty hunters.

Many projects have interesting functions and can certainly make the cryptocurrency industry grow, but what determines this is the market. Every investor will think to join and invest in the ICO because they think they are more risky, then they are only interested in investing in coins that are already in a declining market so that they buy at a low price.

only people who are desperate think ico is dead. maybe the one who thinks ico is dead is someone who can't find a good ico to do. as a trader must be smart in determining the ico that will be done, because it will determine how much will be obtained later.

Not,but they are not having much hope as they have used to be before.ICOs were started for the purpose of only money making so there is no development once the team had lot of money and even if they are not making enough money they will close the project without any further developing then why anyone should invest on ICOs now.

 >:( Yes, well, when there are people who blindly believe. But in fact most projects are doomed to failure. And that means investors every year will be getting smaller. While cryptocurrency will not disappear.

there are many threads that discuss this. and answer, I still ICO will not die. see there are still many new projects starting ICO, they still think ICO is the cheapest way to find funding.

I think not yet, depending on the type of project e.g. such as implementation, purpose vision and mission, stage of development, the product of MVP, including core-team.

1. If the project ICOs interesting-great idea. Sure, I think it was to goal reached for (softcap or hardcap)

2. So far, they are still on ICOs looks such as partnership with a driven developer successful in blockchain or business company (venture capital) it to achieve a goal.

3. And other hand, was a lot to change the tokensale system ICOs through well really sure as you know via IEO (Initial Exchange Offerings) so it will look good.

some as different but very significant.

I also think ico is long dead. since the decline last year the ico project is all shit. most projects are currently scams. there are no more benefits investors can get from buying coins when ico.

On the contrary, those who invested in scam ICOs are still remembering till date. An experience of such cannot be forgotten, because they were cheated. Some have worked so hard for the money, so to forget might be very difficult.
ICOs are still very much around and i am glad to see some succeeding. Those succeding have got something unique to offer the world, which is why investors will trust and invest i them.

I think that now on the contrary will begin to emerge new and good projects. I hope that at the end of 2019 there will be a project similar in pace of its development and growth on Ethereum.

I think at the moment today, ico are struggling to be alive
There are a lot of failed ico already in 2019 and it’s going to continue because no investors joke around any more

And it takes more than a rating site to judge ico existence

emerging new projects I think that of course, but for good projects, I don't really believe before I see it. because the situation is so low, of course the market will feel down, and sometimes the project will experience things we don't want, so to assess the good or not of the project, indeed we have to see it first.

Since ICOs are trying to survive in this market, I think those projects that wanted to launch their platform should deliver first their product, either their prototype or their beta app.
People are now very hesitant to invest in a particular project because most of the time, the project can't deliver their promises and so they will just abandon them.
If a certain platform is really sincere in launching their technology, they should present an MVP first before trying to collect funds from the community.
Very few that I know of, successfully finished their ICO. Really hard to invest your hard-earned money with this crap projects.

They've fallen in popularity because of the lack of investor protection and the scams that come from that.

STOs will take their place, but there's still room for utility tokens, meaning ICOs won't die completely.

Well, he's not dead, there are single projects that shoot but usually it's a Scam and most of them just close and disappear with your funds, but I think when there will be a bullish trend then the ico will return

that is true but not everything will be like that, not all ICOs or projects will live and be able to go through this difficult phase because not everything is good and even worthy of being there.
I think whatever it is as long as they have a solid team and have something real to offer and sell then it will continue to live in any situation

Some group of people will just stand up and put some shit ideas on a paper and call it whitepaper, after which they will use it to scam people. Legit ICOs are only few.

Why everyone only ask about the death of ICOs? What do you think of the ICO project? ICO is only one of the project promotion in order to spread to all communities and investors. If you are sure that the ICO projects have the great and real product concept, why should only see the progress of the market right now? Mostly, ICO is for long-term investment, not for short term investment, where when it is listed, you must get the big profits, not at all.

The bulk of ICO s are really not innovative and will eventually end up  as being a failed ICO.The focus should be on projects that can build a viable and self-sustaining ecosystems,.tjose are the kind of project that are "alive"

There are still very active and good ICOs.
Some are truly scam and some are just lacking in one area or the other and has made them not to succeed.
Imagine an ICO without professionals in its team, there is every likelihood it might not succeed.

I think they aren't dead, there are so many people or organizations who wants to make their own cryptocurrency that's why they are still making an ICO project which can help to the crypto industry more successful and grow it's community. But the investors are the ones who are asleep for now because of too much number of scam ICOs.

As information that currently there are hundreds of ICO live, and the number of ICOs certainly makes competition very tight, by 2018 around 80% of ICOs fail to achieve softcap so investors are worried for ICO invest.

Well not all the cryptocurrencies are alive. And that's a good thing. There are a lot of scam and shit ICO'S. That's a good thing that those project are dying. But even more I think the people are more responsible when they invest. The hype on the ICO's is gone.. And the people who got in the ICO's without knowing what they were doing are left outside because they have lost 80-90% of the investment already.

You're right. ICO is not yet dead, but like only to change destination and become a scam in disguise. A lot of the fact that we have received in 2018 and beginning of 2019 many projects that stolen investors money with a variety of many reasons and when the investor asked the clarity of the project they just reasoned that does not know the end will be where. ICO is no longer promising in this time so we have to be more careful.

Some good project will alive, but the other project is dying and waiting for the market to recover so they can take part in the cryptocurrency market like the other coins. But it is difficult and perhaps, they need to wait for a long time before they can get the list in the exchanges and people can trade for their tokens. I think in the future, the ICO will still exist but it will change the form and not like in the last year as we know that in the last year, the ICO has not reached success.

Ico isn't dead yet. indeed last year there were a lot of ico scams or ico that failed to reach the target, but it doesn't mean that ico is now dead, there are still ico running and hopefully this year there will be more ico appearing with a clear team and goals so investors don't hesitate to invest on ico in progress

ico is still alive but not so effective anymore, investors arent willing enough to invest in any ico that were launch although some will still do. ICO has been so slow right now because ethereum has falls down so far, most ico depends on ethereum blockchain technology.

No ICO who lived at this time. everything is dying and even many who already give bad results. a handful of ICO does look pretty good but still be able to produce in a prolonged period of time and will not ride for a moment. so I think even when encountered ICO looks pretty good from all sides, then isn't a guarantee it will explode when they arrive at the Exchange.

So in my opinion, the conclusion of ICO is not death but it continues to grow with new, better projects to replace fraudulent projects. Means the word death according to me is true because many ICO fail, fraud and so on that affect the stability of market prices. whatever your opinion is the right of an investor and we need to know that no one can be blamed entirely because we are here ready to take great risks with the unstable nature of Crypto.

I think Ico are dead. Most of the true projects do not get enough fund for their project. Because investors are in fear that they may scam money. I have seen some couple of Ico to be funded fully in last couple of months.

Still alive, but not profitable anymore. Maybe what will change to profit again is time, everyone thinks the decline that occurred in ICO is from the cryptocurrency price continues to decline.

Many people still doubt cryptocurrency so that every investor only saves their money rather than having a big risk. In other hand, without a regulation and supervision from several parties the ICO will continue to be filled with fraud. Every investor will lose a lot because they don't need a hard effort to deceive him, and this is the biggest risk when investing in an ICO.

Personally, I won't invest in any ICO. I believe ICO's are no longer a source of lucrative investment. Majority of projects which conducted ICO, ended up listing far below the price of their tokens during ICO. It makes me believe that ICO is actually dead. I don't believe when I read of project meeting their soft cap and hard cap in less than 5 minutes. I see that as an indication of a scam project. The Cryptocurrency industry is so risky that I see every project as a scam until proven otherwise.

dead? of course not, too many ico are less attractive and now every investor is more selective in investing in the ICO.
I would bet when the price of bitcoin returns to around $ 7000 + there will be lots of good ICO .

It seems that the ICO is down for a moment and like the market is going up and down, so this makes investors less interested and happy to trade the day. ELROND itself is also less effective in its journey, so it's alive but it's still slow and it's difficult to get investors because of poor conditions.

ICOs are only down and weak in price but otherwise there are plenty of ICOs in the market. However, many are not able to raise their hard caps in this market.

There are a number of projects that are still running ICO, despite the poor market conditions and declining investor levels, I think they should be rewarded for fighting the storm with bad possibilities and I believe with good ideas, they will be able to pass it.

Ico is not dead and I believe that until now there are still many ico that are still running and still have good potential, good ico, one of whom has a clear goal, in the future it can be useful for all and the team involved must be fully responsible and competent, if you want to invest in ico you should be able to choose a good ico so that the results will be maximal in the future and do not get a misstep so you will only get a loss

for now, ICO cannot be compared with the ICO in 2017. But, I think, for the beginning of this year, there are so many projects that have enough potential to develop. well, I only hope that the ICO, which is currently back, will bring the crypto world even better this year.

In the future I hope we will see some kind of security process that will start banning ICOs that have nothing to offer ,they are making cryptocurrency looks bad ,its making me feel like cryptocurrency have no use at all ,I hop ICOs will get banned someday its the surest way to lose funds and 80% of newbies that lost money are through ICOs

Even though there are so many scam ICO, but i'm sure many people still have their trust on some ICO, thus making the ICO will still available in cryptocurrency world. But for investors or just a bounty participant, everyone need to get so much aware that there are people who create many scam project to stole the investors money.

ICO is indeed alive and not yet fully dead, but the ICO has declined drastically due to many things. Although ICO is said to be a scam today, there are still many ICOs that are running and seem to struggle to remain strong and attract many investors.

You are right, ICOs are still alive and are launching more new projects every day. It is just that the market has declined a lot since the beginning of 2018, making investment less and less than before

Not so easy anymore to scam people through ICOs. People are now more skeptic on every project that comes out.

We have a different point of views here in bitcointalk, however as the majority thinks its that the several of the ico's are dead since they cannot accomodate well their bounty hunters and investors, and for some instances many of the bounty hunters dont get their rewards.

Currently ICO still exists, but not like last 2017, so now the ICO is not as popular as last year, because currently the price of Bitcoin is declining, so it has a bad impact on ICO projects, hopefully ICO will always be there forever, because with this project I can participate in the Bounty campaign.

If you didn´t promote your project here, it will be a good post  :). We need to be positive and after we all be positive, there will be positive market sentiment and after that bull run may start. So stop being negative!

I also think that ICO even in such a market feels quite confident, even after launching their tokens and do not show the effect we would like to see!

is has arrived the time we need cryptocurrency securities & capital organization? to monitor and maintain development orders in ensuring that their development teams are meeting the requirements required by the project and are responsible for maintaining the investor (as a primary goal.) in each region?

All the current difficulties of ICO projects can be solved if we put things in the most usual order in this activity with the help of state regulation. Vseravno, sooner or later, states will have to do it. If the ICO establishes clear rights and obligations of participants in this activity and the level of fraud has decreased markedly, then in the normal state of the ICO market they will again be able to work normally. Why do we need shares or something similar if there are tokens in the cryptocurrency? Maybe after that we will again go to the usual fiat?

ICOs are not dead, but be careful as many of them are just ordinary scams.

I worked with many ICOs, lots of great legit projects, super-strong teams, good concepts - but an eternity of sh*tcoins reaching out trying to get promo every week. Some of the funniest things I've ever seen were the websites of the worst scam ICO's, literally the digital equivalent of a 4-yr old fingerpainting

The ICO is still running and indeed there is a lot of fraud, this gives the impression that ICO is dead.
But if we are good at finding and finding many ICOs have succeeded and had the potential.

Of course not, you are too early to say that. There are still many projects running and every day new projects emerge. It's just that you have to be smart to determine the project you will be working on.

I think ICO still alive, it's just not like last year that very many ICOs appeared. I think ICO needs a change with a real project that can only take part in the ICO.

I think ico is not dead especially every day the ico project always grows and emerges, but unfortunately not all ico grow well even though I noticed lately the comparison of good ico projects, far less than the bad ico (scam).

ICOs are not dead and won't be anytime soon unless the SEC deems them illegal due to the securities issues.

What is dead however are the get rich quick scheme where people become millionaires overnight with a simple whitepaper and website. With what happened with many ICOs and the huge crash for ETH price, many right now are scared to invest in any type of ICOs. So many projects are most likely put on hold until the atmosphere improves.

Because even if some company actually has a good product, the chances of their ICO being a success is low during these times.

It seems to me that everyone is already disappointed in the ICO. Therefore, we paid attention to small cryptocurrencies, for example, I believe that the Zynecoin project is strong enough and will succeed.

The quality has greatly decreased, and for some reason, new tokens have ceased to be popular to compete. So it's time to take steps either to improve this area or impose restrictions.

Well I don't think that ICO are dead. And by the way, we discussed this topic a few days ago.

Possibly about to, and the reason is that people are really scared of the whole thing most ico these days are scam and a lot of them who act to be successful seems not to get close to success, most promising projects don't even follow the road map they set for themselves talk less of making things happen. I think people are really fed up

By this situation of market, many ico's are dead in such way it is dead because it is unsuccessful, even successful projects that has met its target soft cap continues to prolong its project's duration or its selling because of this bearish market.

That depends on how we can determine or reveal which is the good ico is, there was a bunch of hidden gems in these days but only some are worth to invest use our money right now. So many people have made tons of money through these hidden gems of icos. we should learn from there.

Since 2017 ICO has become the choice of many people to profit. But throughout 2018, market prices have declined and this also has an impact on ICO growth. More and faker ICOs and scammers are growing into lots. So people thought the ICO was dead, but that was in my opinion wrong. That there are still many ICOs running and ICO whenever they can appear.

I don't think ICO's are dead. They are not as reliable as they were befor. Plus it's pretty hard to find a good project that can shine in this oversaturated market.

yes maybe you are right that ico is dead but I still believe there is a good ico to follow, I see from the growth of coins and platforms, like eos growth is good enough and also has its own platform of course there is hope with the ico project that uses the eos platform.

There is a significant decrease and we all see that clearly.
It's not actually the quality which is the main reason why there's plenty of failed ICO now, one of the thing to blame is the market sentiment, when people are so afraid to hold longer, they can easily get shaken by the price especially when there is a sudden dump, that we haven't seen before.
People are more bullish when the market knows how to rebound, now it seems it's not rebounding hard.

ICO is dying because only few people want to invest in a cryptocurrency seeing that the cryptocurrency market is only falling and is not growing at all, many investors also understand that most companies are simply fraudsters and do not want to invest because of this.

Many ICOs still success reaching their target and ICOs are not death. Its true that ICOs should regulated considering many scam last year. With regulation on ICOs from government, it protecting investor money and keep investor trust on cryptocurrency market

I don't think the ico project is dead, maybe investors are taking a break and waiting for the crypto market to improve, then investors will be many more and invest their money in ico again, so don't worry guys

Can we really say that ICOs are dead? Seeing that there are still some that are able to reach either soft cap or hardcap, but the number of those succeeding has reduced, which then means that they are not yet dead, but that there is a decline in number and trust. Only few can be trusted.

They are alive, but there are very few of them, and most likely the time will come when they simply simply end and it seems to me that this will all happen this year!

ico is now in a very terrible period. besides the process of launching into a very long market exchange, the exchange rate was very very low. really different from the previous year. maybe this is also the effect of the falling crypto market.

If the project ICOs is good and have partnertship with reputable exchanger, i am believe that ICOs will reach the target. For example bittorent, this ICOs have partnert with binance and reach the target only in 15minutes

Ico doesn't die, ico still exists if we can examine in more detail there are still good and potential ico, indeed lately many failed ico may be due to less competent teams, lack of promotion or lack of investors, when we will invest in ico must be good at analyzing the ongoing ico, the team involved whether people - professional people and clear goals of ico itself, do not let us wrong in investing in ico that will cause losses

There are very few ICOs that can do that. Since mid-2018 until now, only the Bittorent ICO has been as successful as the ICOs that were run in 2017. We need more successful ICOs like this to reactivate investors' demand to join ICO to help the ICO market not die

Take a look at altcoin announcement and you will see that ICO is not dead. But I guess subject is clickbate and misleading because you used it to advertise your project.
How many users have read thread?

Any scam ICO is such a painful existence, all the people behind it were such a disgrace. Those makes all the good ICO to take the impact from the cause of those scam ICO. makes them loosing their potential investors to make the project working.

ICO is not dead because if you are looking to the list of ICO's yhere is hundreds of ICo's are still running and for sure they have a lot of upcoming ICO's everyweek. There  is new ICO was created and thar is called STO and for shmure many investor will invest to the STO compared to the ICO because they did not want ICO's now.

We can say that the ICOs are now dead due to the decreasing of investors who patronizing it. ICOs are most likely failing because their team are only focusing to earn profit than to improve their product.

Now it can be said that only 5% of ico are successful, this is due to the impact of the many negative news so investors are afraid to put their money in, I'm sure if this continues then 2020 there will be no more ico.

Is ICO's Dead?.. Yes!!... and No!. yes to those who are scammed and have not reach their softcap til now, those who fail to reach their deadlines, those who are just making promises but not able to fulfill because they cannot calculate and have loss fund to run their project. and.. No! for those who in spite of their struggle situation are still true to their words and have slowly but surely making progress til their reach it.

After all the scams and fake projects yet there are still very few good ICOs ,I think it's left for us to make the decision of joining any ICO or not ,in crypto world there is no such thing as forcing anyone to invest in anything ,its freedom so let's be wise where we will invest out hard earned cash

Maybe now fewer ICO can succeed. But that does not mean that the ICO is dead. The proof is that I can still participate in the ICO. I believe that ICO is running or just released, I'm sure there are still many who can succeed.

ICOs are not dead. But there are only a few we can call good projects. You have just have to do research before investing. Mostly tokens when listed to an exchange, their value drops to up to 80% ICO price that its too disappointing. But I still believe there will still come good projects in the future.

Not all ico is missing out on some icos that many priests have opened new ico projects that are beautiful and legit. Even in the bad cryptocurrency situation there are many ico that launche despite the many risk of cryptocurrency being continued They and those projects have the potential to succeed depending only on the numbers of  investors and sold tokens also on the raised funds.

I also feel like that, but indeed there are still many ICO projects that emerge, the most important are those who manage well and can be trusted, I think the ICO project will not die, it will be much in demand, but it also returns to itself whether or not to continue to believe in the crypto world .

I have a bad feeling that this guy wants to give life to the dying ICO because he wants to get funded with their own ICO he is trying to hard to get funded and make it appear they have a great technology to offer that others don't have, better try harder it might work. ;D

no, but for a long time it is likely that ICO will die if there are still many projects that are deceptive, because the ICO enthusiasts have already reduced quite a lot because they have already suffered a lot of losses.

if ICO wants to be seen alive and trusted by investors again I think they should be able to improve quality and be more responsible for their projects so that they can provide the best price when listed on the exchange.

ICO is such a system that everyone who participates in it is responsible for himself or herself. It would be nice to see control over ICO projects, but so far it is impossible

Do you have an announcement thread and a bounty campaign, of course, we want to know more about your project but not on this section, but on the announcement section where it is more professional I just hope I won't see this in the scam section, because too many hype coins ended in the scam sections.

I keep seeing this question, I strongly believe that ICOs are not dead, there are some good ICO projects that have done well this season, even in the bearish market, they succeeded, most look dead because investors have learnt not to put their money in any kind of project they see. They do proper research before investing, this has really affected most ICOs. Lack of investor.

In general, now it’s more like the truth than saying, for example, that the market is alive, this is far from being the case, and we believe that the market is suffering heavy losses and is very tired of scammers. Big players will never come to such a market while they are likely to steal.

It also seems to me that iso is already dead , now ieo is developing very strongly and in particular from balance , I think ico may return only with the next bullish trend!

the way and manner in which the market is has made people to start considering the fact that there is no more hope for ICOs and their projects and therefore they have been gripped the notion that ICOs are somewhere not close to reality again but it is not true as the ICOs are not dead.

Perhaps the ICO in the form in which we used to see them several years in a row and dead. But is now gaining popularity conducting sales of tokens on the platform of the stock exchanges. For example, a recent sale on Binance , which ended just a few seconds. Maybe the future for this? ???

there are some ico that fail or die but that does not indicate that ico really will die because not all ico are weak so there will always be ico that can continue to grow even when they are in difficult times, as well as investors, not all of them want to avoid ico even though they have suffered losses because of ico, therefore ico will always be there and will continue to live

ICO's will not die if they will give their investors security in their investments. Weather its successful or not at least security is there

For sure they are alive. The last year was awful for the whole crypto industry and not just ICOs, but right now I think we are seeing the first signs of recovery and when the market will turn in the right direction, things will improve.

The cryptocurrency market is in a state of sleep. ICO also sleeps. The awakening will come soon, and the situation will change for the better. ICO will not die.

ICO is not dead and still ALIVE fighting the situation to be better.
There are so many SCAM ICO in the community which make the situation worst for many good projects.
Once this make a better then everything will be back to normal or better than before!

If the scammers still continue to dominate the ICO, then soon even the bullish market will not save investors from the current situation, the desire to invest in the ICO fell to a minimum

Well, he wants to be fast to quickly make his own money too through ICO from the remaining people that will still give a shit to ICOs when there are lots better means of investing in crowd funding projects now which will guarantee security such as IEO, I think they are beginning to get the gist that the end time for scammers are already near.

If he want to do a genuine crowd funding that will gain people’s attention and guarantee security for their investment, it’s better he starts going through IEO now rather than ICOs.

I think that it is a very persistent person who wants to make money. I think he wants to save a dead project. In General, not all ICO projects have died, there are projects that live.

Love this kind of talk :))) do your research guys check the tech and then we can talk.

I agree with you, indeed ico won't die because until now there are still many new ico popping up from legit-scam. but for now it's difficult to get investors because yesterday's bitcoin prices fell

They are more than alive and are representing a great trend at the moment, especially ICOs that are launched on an exchange. This gives investors a guarantee that this token is going to be listed on that exchange.

They are still alive buddy but hardly survive now, and even those ones that that claim made it through their fund raising has gone incommunicado. Look at acorn collective it's was quite funny getting the exit news from them. I wish the authorities gets them arrested

The 2018 was a good year it was not dead. there were more than 3000 ICOS which means it was alive not dead. Look now for 2019 already some ICOs is up more than 100% in just few weeks, so healthy market and time for profit.

no, ico isn't dead.

in fact there are still many new ico appearing, and old ico is still waiting for the process to launch into the market exchange, I think this is still good.

Lol, you are promoting your project in the end.

Ico is not completely dead but the hype of ICO is dead and most of investors already give up to, i saw most of ICO is not have a good sale on their ICO right now. It's not dead but almost.

People do not want to understand that the problem is not related to the ICO. The ICO may be more conducive, but that does not mean to be its scam. Bitcoin is more suitable for the drug buisiness, but we can not blame it.

Recently, more than one analyst has gone on the record to state that the market for initial coin offerings (ICOs) is basically dead.Recently, more than one analyst has gone on the record to state that the market for initial coin offerings (ICOs) is basically dead. Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is highly speculative and the market is largely unregulated. Anyone considering it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.

I don't think ICOs are gonna die. I think the number of successful ICO will increase when the market start the risin again. Also in the market has many ICOs that are now successful.

I believe that icos are already dead since it is not more profitable.  A lot of people accumulate loss here and most of the time they are scammed

1. Not all projects have enough money to pay for participation in IEO.
2. The direct interest of the exchange in the profits from IEO casts doubt on the reliability of the reputational risk check, which means that investors are still risking money.

>> IEO is temporary. Let's wait for a couple of fraudulent projects and the crowd will speak differently about IEO

I agree, but very few people can participate in these projects and this is not correct!

ICOs are not dead for sure, they just need to be enhance and to be legal. To fix this problem, they think of a way more enhance than ICO and that is STO, much more regulated than ICOs and I think this is the trigger of the next bull run, The Rise of STO.

STO looks quite interesting, but it probably won't replace ICO, but will take part of the audience with money and brains. Household investors (ordinary people, not investors) are much more than accredited investors. They will not like blocking coins for a year ...

yes, I agree with you and the STO which in my opinion will not replace ICO.
ICO is currently not good, the condition is very bad and many say he is dead because a lot of bad things have happened and he also cannot provide benefits to us.
in my opinion ICO is still alive and someday he will grow so many projects can run well and he will benefit us and we wait for time ...

The IEO seems to be much better than ICO because most ICO projects have the purpose of making money for investors and this should not happen in this market. If the project is poor, they will stop at ICO but if the project really has potential, they will find ways to be listed on major exchanges with the IEO form. This will limit a lot of risks for investors and we will easily earn more profits

I guess so. ICO's are really great honestly. But, due to many cases in which ICO's are failing their jobs. For example, scamming people, not providing the service that was promised like didn't follow the date of exchange listing and the price of the coin might fall below ico price. So I think ICO's are dead.

I left the ICO because I cannot find a good and legit ICO to promote and invest after I left my last one which is a good ICO for me after that i shifted to a gambling site to promote it's much better than waiting for 3 to 5 months for your token to arrive which you are not sure if it will have a value at all.

The process is really very difficult today in demand. Of course, now there is not that huge but really big fears that the ICO as a whole will soon cease to exist. But I think that everything can do with much simpler situations.

Too many number of ICO that does not have working product will make bad effect in ICO market. Demand of ICO still high but investor really choose only good project with live product. ICO market need regulation to avoid fraud and to protect investor.

For me, it's still undecided because some blockchain startups were clearly over-valued. Things were going very fast. Legal and regulatory frameworks were unclear if not totally lacking in most countries. Of course, a lack of oversight leads to rampant abuse, but the current situation is a reality check that only means one thing — Keep calm and focus on a market need. Create a product that people will use and don’t speculate. A lot of ICOs are still good and innovative when it comes to the visions and products, these are ICOs like, Poseidon, ICOBOX and Bitrus.

That's right. Many ICO projects that end up not in accordance with what we expect and not all ICO projects will end with the same thing. Some of them have a team that continues to strive to develop the ICO project that they bring in hopes of success and later we as bounty hunters will also feel the impact.

This is the major point of the matter; many ICOs coming up really need to ensure that the project has an amazing product that will make people rush for it.

Let’s take a look at Samsung, let’s say they decided to enter the cryptocurrency industry too and create their own coin, no matter the level of dumping that will occur from non-serious investors, it will never bring the project down because their products that is high in demand and will always be high in demand will tend to balance the equation.

Hence, most team should not just come up with a project they ordinarily believe in their own eyes to be good based on their own personal exposure or assumption but what is really in demand generally.

Hope ICO's are not dead.
Our - https://www.maxicreditcompany.com/ (https://www.maxicreditcompany.com/) - starts tomorrow.

ICOs are alive, just many investors lost their confidence in them and in March it was raised 20 times less funds in ICO than last year same period. IEOs are interesting idea and bringing some sort of security to the investors.

Dead İCOs will revive itself in a year in my opinion. There are big chances for upcoming ICOs after the news about the exchange offered token sales. Let's see what is going on in ICO business.

ICO is still alive just that people have lost faith in it, most investors have given up because too much loss on ICO failed. Maybe when the market goes up, investors can put their trust in the ico

Now ICO is gaining a new wave of popularity. Many exchanges are launching ICO on their platform. I think this is a signal that a new wave of apostas has begun.

 Looking at the current state of the crypto ecosystem, ICOs can be considered as officially dead. IEOs are the new ways crypto projects raise funds to support their project. With IEOs, investors are assured of the tokens being listed on an exchange platform.

Not dead at all but only limited due to many reason. Investor tend to search now and know the capabilities of an ico. If they can deliver working product or not because investing in ico that has no product is like throwing your money in deep waters. I hope ico will be back again to it's glory and if that happen. It means many people are going back again or new user in crypto market.

2017 really made a hyped market and for most developer that is a great opportunity to continue offering coins in the market although the product wasn't that good enough to compete with others. Hey, I already invested on Poseidon ICO, I might check ICOBOX and Bitrus later. What do you think ?

IEO has already made a big change for ico, but basically without IEO and ico will still exist but IEO just gives new support to the ico. ICO is not business but that's a way to give a chance to the competence developer to prove its skill.

I myself have now stopped from ico's investment. I do not believe there are now ico that benefit investors in the near future. because most of now ico are difficult to get up after the decline. now I trade altcoin on the market, it's more promising.

At the moment I can say with confidence that this type of earnings and investments are dead. Most projects die. I think that 99% of these investments will not bring you profit.

All ICOS projects depend on the price of Bitcoin. Therefore, when Bitcoin decreases, the ICOS projects are difficult to mobilize capital successfully. But I think it is only temporary. ICOS projects will be good again in the near future.

I think some good ICO's still make it eve though where still in a bad market, this shows how great the project is  ;), i believe ICO's are not dead they just waiting for the market to be in good condition ;)

not yet but now the ICO is at the end of its career because the problem is that getting here ICO is getting worse and there are a lot of frauds too. but if the ICO conditions can improve and the lack of fraud will have a long time for ICO to stay alive

No icos are not dead but there are some icos that dead because of lack of investments and not raised funds so they left the ico,and some are still paused due to bad conditions of cryptocurrency market.but now as cryptocurrency market is getting good new icos are launched and good bounty projects also.Investing on icos are still worth and profitable.

I don't think ICOs are dead, what I feel is that good ICO projects are been face woh ttoo many scam projects that have previousely scammed people so investors are scared of investing.

We can not say ico's are dead .no doubt market is low for the few months ago. but l think all days are not equal. so we shouldn't loose our patience.

Scammers scare all investors, people just stopped believing that in this area you can earn something, they even pass by quality projects, this trend is frankly frightening and will not lead to anything good

New altocoins will always be created in cryptocurrency, so ICO will not die. So far, many people still make money on ICO

It can be said that investors no longer believe in the ICO because many scam projects and many ICOs fail to reach softcaps, moreover the current trend is the IEO, making it safer because after buying it can be directly traded.

ICOs are not dead, the trend ,that is the bearish market is not favourable , also investors have lost faith in the market, also some projects couldn't meet up their soft cap, but even at that, there are projects with good use case that have excelled, all one needs is to research and find these good icos  out there.

half month ago one project almost reached hardcap and collected around 58 million dollars on such bad market. they raised moey efor market stop falling.

but at least there must be at least one successful project so that it will attract investors back to the ICO.
and the problem is that until now there has been no ICO that can provide benefits to investors.
only a few projects have such potential.

Ico are not dead but they get silent in today bearish market.whenever crypto get mature these ico will provide great potential in financial world. Ico are become of crypto market.  They are the gateway through which new fund come info market. It encourage new entrepreneur to think new idea and make a healthy coin for investor to invest.

STO- If stable projects make a profit, I am sure that many investors will move away from ICO projects. Everybody needs a profit. But some projects still bring a good profit to their investors. Such projects can be counted on the fingers.

It's called Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) not ICO but i think IEO is very interesting and easy process to invest by exchange. Exchange partner project now making very new dimension in cryptocurrency. But i think still a lot of ico project in the market.

Yes, ICO has started to lose value and the industry has already move to the next stage which is Initial Exchange Offering (IEO). As times goes on, IEO will also lose value because nothing last forever but the most important thing is for us to always take maximum advantage of any of the current reality in the industry.

I really agree with what you say. The important thing is to get profits. Can benefit from ICO or IEO. All have their own opportunities to seek profits. Can you invest in ICO or you invest in the IEO.

Yes, right now we are seeing multiple projects strugling to get funding from ICO but there are still many projects which get funds from investors and starting improving their offer/products/projects.

But not all ICOs are bad, there must be a good side and investors still believe it, but for the current trend, the IEO is a lot of investors.

Currently, the sought-after and legitimate ICO is difficult to resist numerous and useless projects that focus only on fundraising because they use attractive fraudulent mechanisms to attract investors. And this affects the aggregate negative result in the ICO sector.

yet the ICO is still alive but in a condition at the end of death because of the increasing number of years ICO is getting worse because there are so many ICO canoes that lead to fraud if in my opinion

I think that most real-world projects will soon finish work on their roadmap and we will see a growth in the altcoin market.

Hope not!
We started today https://www.maxicreditcompany.com/ (https://www.maxicreditcompany.com/) ICO

This is the thing on whats happening as of this moment.We have seen the ICO trend is spamming out over all the market yet scammers do see this thing
to gain up millions of funds to be scammed from its investors thats why we do see lots of projects tend to have fund raising but overall they are just complete trash.

this is all a result of the many scammers at the ICO so that investors no longer trust ICO. I think if the ICO managers can make sure there is no cheating team anymore. in the future, investor confidence can grow again and ICO will rise from the dead.

that's possible, if there is an update that allows scamer to be reduced or no more scamer on ICO that might be better in the future.
after that investors will start again and ICO can grow so that in the future it will probably be popular again and many will join again, but to realize that the chances are not too big.
until now, there are still many who do not believe in the ICO so there are fewer ICO fans.

It will rise again because the market will start to recover again. Yeah, scammers ruin this market and that’s why investors are still afraid. ICO is not fully dead, there’s still a chance to go up again so let’s wait for more good projects that can change the trend of ICO.

ICO is not dead but still live, only decrease with demand because some of them turn in to fraud,  now investor want to invest only in legit and trusted project,  so that why all ICO that offer on the Binance and Huobi exchange sold out just in very short times.

I don't think that most of the ICO's were dead since there are so many peoples and developers intended to held an ICO and set up their own coin platform and makes it legit.

now maybe not many investors want to join the ico project. they are more interested in ieo with better market exchanges and guarantees. Of course with a trusted exchange that will always be crowded for IEO.

Most of bounty campaigns ran by their teams itself, they make an account in this forum with copper membership so as they can upload photo or put signature. If you see in the scam accusations section and look many cases about scam project and most of them use account copper member, I rarely see the account like legendary member as bounty manager promote a scam project. This is pointed out, bounty managers who has reputable in this forum they will see first about the project and I think they have a way to know it.

If this year the market is still red, it can be ascertained that ICO will soon die, the biggest problem now is that there are many ICO scams that make investors no longer trust ICO.

the market has already recovered from the hibernation and we can see that most of the coins are now in green  .  does it mean that ico will continue to live ?  sure they will but even if the market is in red  , the ico can still live .  ico will only die if all single cryptos will die or if all of thier value will turn to zero  .


that is indeed a big problem that we are facing today  . the reputation of ico's are degraded too much , good thing there are called ieo's   . ieo's are said to be an alternative to ico's  but in a less riskier way  since it was backed by reputable exchange sites  .

So you are trying to be different from all the other ICO, but that won't do, even big projects that are full of hype cannot even reach their soft cap, people are giving up on ICO, it's not it used to be, to many deception and fraud all contributed to investors losing interest, so stop the hype and bring value to your project.

No, they are just only few that exist because of the bear market situation. I'm positively sure that a lot of ICO project will emerge again when  crypto everywhere is much more accepted. In the future, there will be big companies that will get in ICO late for sure because they was very skeptic to see its potential for now.

Today there are so many situations for you to believe in it, because so many investors really stopped investing in ICO because of the cessation of growth. And I think that they also do not invest because it is difficult to find a really good project.

that's right, nowadays it's very difficult to get a good ico project among many new projects.
that is why many investors are now switching to the IEO, but i still believe ICO will stay alive. i think when the market improves again, ICO will be popular again.

Yeah, gradually ICOs are dead, with the switching on to IEO. Due to the high level of scam associated with ICOs where they set up fake team members and unrealistic projects, it caused investors and the general public to loose the credibility of ICO projects. Everyone is turning to IEO, with this alternative already in place. The chances of ICOs gaining acceptability as it were before is slim and may be unrealistic.

ICOs are not dead, they have just evolved to IEO. The recent failure of ICOs is subjected to the poor market conditions and also the increasing rate of fraudulent activities carried out with most ICOs. So IEO have been introduced, which is now an upgrade on ICOs because the possibility of scam being carried out with IEO is very slim as the exchanges which hosts the IEO will try to validate the authenticity of the project in order not to jeopardize its own integrity.

ICOs are still alive but in a newer form.
And that form is thru IEO.
Like what Binance did.

I also think that this ICO will stay alive. But not all of these ICOs will live. Only potential, trusted, and responsible ICOs will remain on the market. Deceptive ICO or fake ICO will only be selected from the market. I believe that this ICO has survived because the ICO has also benefited from technological developments. With the emergence of ICO, the movement of development became very fast. The large number of ICOs that exist today is proof that there are so many people who want progress. I just hope that ICO will be more advanced by bringing more contemporary technology.

It is difficult to find a good ICO now, the future of ICO has become difficult because of the bad reputation of many scam projects, I have also been hit with scams several times so I think that ICO is not profitable.

ICO's are just a kind of IPO. It's gonna change names and become something else.

In 2013 it was really hot to develop a new coin based on Bitcoin.

Later came Ethereum and smart contracts got popular. Then tokens on smart contracts. Then ICO's.

It's gonna continue changing into different concepts. Crypto advances faster than anything I've seen in tech!

ICO's aren't dead, they're changing and adapting constantly, 24x7, like everything else in crypto.

most ICO are dead, so not all ICO project dead, right ?
yeah, now a lot of ICO project are a copy from the past one, but once again not all ICO project doing that, right ?
because i see, few ICO's bring a pure idea with real useful product my friend

Although they are no longer the same as before, they will live well! It will be increasingly upgraded and new calling, but in the end it is still an ICO. So don't worry about it

I support ICO'S recovery as the market also recovering and now IEO was a new trend on cryptocurrency and its price is stable and we know bounty hunters liking it a lot because it is a nice way to make money for us but for investors i think its not good so they are preferring still on ico but the problem with ico now is the dumped after listing and  the reason i saw was the cheap Exchanges so even they list it on multiple exchangers then it cant make.

I personally don't think they are, they are doing well as IEOs too. But the conventional ways of ICOs might just go extinct, then more Innovative ways like IEO (initial exchange offerings) and IAOs ( Initial auction offerings) will take over. ICOs can't die as more projects will come to the space, rather than extinction, they will rebrand.

yeah you right icos still ALIVE, because you can see that in this forum, there is so many ico project and running, but not many project success like before, thats fact, and better you try in IEO thats more than safe and sure will be listed in market

This question is repeat again because IEO trendy topic now.
ICO is fully of scammers, yes that is right.
IEO is alternative of investor, yes that is right too.
ICO die ? No, and never die.
Now ICO in a bad condition because full of scam and fraud, we need to stop it and keep support that ICO will be back like before.
I believe that.

I cannot deny that there are lot of shit ico project in this field of business industry. Since 2018 up to entering the 2019 ICO case was still not good.
Just recently, maybe a couple of weeks past, the price of bitcoin got increased little by little, then some of the altcoins too are some pumping their price value too in the market. But of course majority of the ico are not still good but remain alive in crypto world.

I think ICO is really dead now, because most good projects will have an IEO instead of ICO.
and also I think the ICO that is currently left is just a project with a useless product.

as developer works on preparedness with use of possession with distinct of customs with use of technical skills and basics of ideal science, the use with following on shifts with stages of development to requires with more on completeness and gains on utilization with the extensive on models as appeals on application to returns with one on decision as the finest on seeds with value on numbers to request with the exchange on collaboration.

Well, I think for now, there are many people who aren't using the ICO anymore, moreover there is an IEO now. but, we might have to wait to confirm this. I think there are some ICOs that are appropriate, well, but I know the ICO changes nowadays.

The ICO will not die right now but it's just that investors are turning to the IEO on large exchanges, but ICO is also still hopeful for progress as long as the scammers are self-aware.

ICO is now experiencing not the best times, but if bitcoin is to step over the threshold of $10,000 the hamsters will be happy to forget recent failures and give the money. Oh sorry, of course, to invest in super promising projects.

Icos are still very much around. They are not dead. But the approach to icos have changed since the closing of 2018. Now we have ieos which are revamped icos just to attract newer investors

No, they ain't, I think they simply rebranded, and they still sell out in millions these days on exchanges and all. The sad things about these ICOs is they fact that unlike in those days they can't be trusted anymore. Too many scam ICOs in the space these days. Besides that, they are still very much around

I support you because the position of ICO is completely dependent on Bitcoin, now in the cryptocurrency is not a good time, so ICO is also experiencing one of the worst times

I don't think that the whole ICO ecosystem is dead. Few months ago the whole ICO ecosystem was full of scammers many people scammed by various ico teams and many of them had successful ICO phase but after that they failed at development phase, some of them abolished after listing. But in between them their was few projects whic is performing very well and they still are. After that stage the new era of ICO came with a new package called ieo. The difference between ICO and ieo is. ICO collects all the fund through themselves and in ieo they collect the money through a exchange. So if a reputable exchange offer ieo the trust factors of the project is much higher than others.

ICO is not death but ICO is about to die because when you r investing in project that risk is about 90%, I believe that people will not have interest in such project again and such project will be varnish.

Choosing an ICO project must be more careful and selective. Don't be easily attracted to ICO that offers great benefits, but check first. There are still many good ICOs and they are still alive. With the onset of improving market conditions, I think it will have a positive impact on many ICO projects.

Yes, is so hard and you have to be lucky when choose an ICO projects, but i think we will have more IEO on future than ICO and this maybe will have succeed more than ICO.

Surely, no. ICOs are the main form of involving money to the project. There were thousands of ICOs completed in 2018 so far. And even more are ready to start. Various companies develop their products or services on the blockchain or with cryptocurrencies, so they launch ICOs to attract investors. I predict more and more offerings in 2019

I think ICOS projects at this point are almost dead. Therefore, investors don't care and invest in them. I think all will come back to what the crypto market is. Investors are switching to investing in traditional coins and trading.

Quite possible scenario. I think that the HYIP around IEO will not last long. And most likely the crypto market will return to the traditional methods of project development.

You can not completely abandon the ICO. Because IEO is a short-lived phenomenon. Many ICO projects are promising projects but many problems that have appeared around the ICO in recent years require operational solutions. As soon as the developers can prove to everyone that in ICO market scam over , people will believe again.

Everything has a season, I think the era of ICO's being fruitful are gone for now and may be back later. A lot of scam ICO's and failed projects made ICO's a lot unpopular. We may likely be back to ICO's when the market situation improves with a good record of successful ICO's. Right now is the period of IEO's but I think it will be short lived

now after IEO becoming populer , ico aren't something worth to join
especially when many ico end with scam. investor getting smart to invest on project that more secure

I think soon we will dream about the return of the ico in the same format because this model of collecting money from investors was the most fair.

I think not. Just collecting stredstv changes its shape today. In the fight against fraudsters open new types of projects. What can not fail to please us as participants and users of this market.

and now I don’t see any difference between ICO and IEO. those projects that previously conducted ico are now simply conducting an additional stage of selling tokens but already on some exchange

Hard to find those projects that have something to bring to your investment, ico's have lots of room for scammers, best to select first before deciding to buy or start planning your position, not dead but very tough competition and most of them just die naturally.

Must wait, apparently projects will have an important role in the development of the global economic community I love ICOS IS GREAT

Many says ICO is dead because there a lot of unsuccessful projects and bad coins since 2018 have started, that is why a lot of investors and bounty hunters have stop participating in ICO projects. It is really hard to find good projects nowadays, because most of it are bad and scam projects.

ICO's can't die just like that, its still alive just that there are a lot of bad ones in the system which is out to scam potential investors. As a results of this many people have lost great interest in ICO's. So on the long run there is a decrease in most ICO projects.

Agree that the ICO is becoming weaker than ever and almost died at this time when the failure of bitcoin for a long time, combined with fraudulent information in ICO, and the appearance of a new competitor such as the IEO, all have made us feel the end of the ICO is approaching. However, I feel that the ICO's death will not simply happen because the crypto market always needs new competitors and new characters to promote the development of the market, ICO is the place to create these things, without the ICO, the market will lack competition and development delay, so the ICO will probably not die, it can continue to maintain.

It seems to me that the situation can change for the better only when the levers of real management of the market of ico companies appear, in order to clean up this field of activity from fraud.  The fact is that because of fraudsters, many users of cryptocurrency and investors who are trying to make their money and efforts for the benefit of a particular project suffer.

It seems to me that most people who today invest in cryptocurrencies have great success in this industry, but they will not say anything massively, because they just lose their income, it has never been profitable to anyone.

This and the industry has changed a lot. Most investors have stopped investing in ICOs. New projects are no longer profitable. But I am sure that good times will return to us.

ICO is the best way to promote any project in the market and collect the fund. But now days problem is so many scam ICO that bring people capital and run way. Good ICO is still profitable for investor. We should choose right ICO.

I no longer believe in ICO, most of the value goes down when listing because of selling ... I prefer to buy altcoin from bounty hunter and hold it, then sell it when the price is high

ICO is not fully dead, because you can see for yourself now there are still many ICOs and there are still many who have experienced success at the ICO and some have failed. But all projects must compete, otherwise the project will die. That's why I say ICO isn't dead yet!

In my opinion in nowadays ICO's are definetely dead at least in this current way. If teams do not develop a new path, no one will enter ICOs.  Time will show us

for the problem of ico, it hasn't died, but just a few projects that held it were dead, I mean they didn't expand their project after the sale was finished regardless of the funds they got softcap, some hardcap there would be something like that but some ico that just finished was still updating though long

In this many past of days should i say lot of ico get scammed because of they dont reach the minimum amount money they need for their project and those ico projects dont do their job on roadmap so lot of people always complaining for them.

not all ICOs are dead and solid projects still raise money and do that very fast. the only need is a trust in the team and their plans to develop quality products.

After all scam and unsuccessful ICOs from last year mainly,  people lost their confidence in ICOs and are very reticent when it comes to invest in an ICO nowadays.

However,  this does not mean there are no good ICOs, too. We just need to be more careful to identify legit and ICOs with high potential.

I think the right word to answer your question is "YES".
now everyone's focus is only on the IEO and there is no channel discussing the ICO at this time.

last year 2018 is for ICO this year now thing has turn to IEO, ICO is a scam aleast we have many successful ICO 2018 but they raise money and run.

I think that very few projects remain that can really raise money for the realization of their future. Therefore, I can confidently say that ICO, as a process, will evolve and never die. It's my opinion.

Yes, I also think ICO is not dead, but there are only a number of ICO projects that fail and scam, but that doesn't mean this is dead, Projects continue to grow to stabilize the market ecosystem from developers and investors. If we can observe well, the future of ICO is definitely good and try the best in choosing

I want to believe that most of the projects are working on their road maps and are still alive, it is the belief that makes me do HODL  8)

These projects will not die for long, but their number will be constantly decreasing. I hope that the most trusted iCOs will stay on the market and let the investors make their profits.

I think ICO is not dead but investors are more interested in the IEO, because currently the IEO is more profitable and many IEOs are emerging. ICO is likely to be replaced slowly.

ICO has been used as a medium to scam many and that has affected it so much that it has been considered to be dead. I feel things can still change if we have more genuine projects with a good team.

completely ico isn't dead yet. ico is still growing today, but some of them are deceitful and some are good. the rest depends on how we judge it, if we always assume that ico is bad or dead maybe you can try with a new program like the IEO.

ICO is not dead, now ICO is sluggish because the price of Bitcoin which is the benchmark is sluggish, later when the price of Bitcoin goes up again I believe ICO will return lively and profitable again, just be patient this is only a matter of time  ;)

It's hard to say because the conditions aren't good right now and people say different things according to their own observations. The ICO needs people who have good knowledge in trade and of course are fair. ICO can still be saved and from here we will think to stay or survive.

The ICO began to die almost a year ago and now they are more dead than alive. However, there is hope for a new growth in the crypto market. If this growth starts, then it is possible that ICO can come to life and start making profit for its investors.
Now new forms of collecting investments have started to appear, and if they will be successful for a long time, they will completely bury the ICO.

Well who knows tomorrow so we can't say ICOs are dead because they are unpredictable and people are marvelled about this.

To me, i think they started dying about a year ago and they are almost dead completely. Most people have lost trust in ICOs, you know why, non of the previous ICOs have been able to come out with a strong product.

but in my opinion he can still rise again and he can still develop.
he just rested for a while not dead, and there are still some good projects that can produce, yes even though a lot of negative news has emerged and it is not an obstacle for you not to follow it again, keep trying to ensure you can succeed, ICO will not always continue bad.

That's not dead yet. The only ico that looks suspicious will not get any demand from the market. You can look at the chart on icodrop and that will show you the demand for icos but that's only for trusted project dude.

ICO's are not  actually dead, the fall of bitcoin ,really affected so many project, but there are still some project ICO that did a good return of investment. Even though now, the space has taken to IEO.

it is said to be dead in my opinion yet because at the moment if I see ico it is still there but indeed in the competition to get investors it is more difficult because of the many projecks that are dead or scam. IEO Plus is currently interested because the bigger and faster profits are not complicated in doing so

ICOs are not dead. There are numerous ICOs on the market now and not all of them are worth investing in. This is why every investor must do an extensive research into the ICO before joining. Due to the reported issues of scam ICOs, there have been switch of attention from ICOs to STOs and IEOs but all these does not guarantee the success of the project. DYOR must be adopted by every investor irrespective of joining either ICO, STO or IEO.

Investors don't trust ICOs no more, a lot of them had no working product, ran-away with the money the investors have entrusted with them, and scam. ICO had a bad reputation that most investors avoid investing on them which lead to massive ICO failure.

Most investors think very optimistically before investing in ICO projects but when you see the project as a potential project, it will make you very disappointed because they often deceive the early investors. This makes many large projects with clear development do not get investors' confidence this year. According to me, I should not invest ICO because it is dead and the new trend is now that the IEO is gaining a lot of support in the last few months.

I'm not sure if the ICO dies,
because I still see some projects doing ICO,
some projects even focus on being ICO services, so as long as the project is still there, ICO will never die.

Ico is not dead but i think it is very affected from the very huge dip that we are experiencing. Maybe we need to be mpre patience if we are going to invest in ico today, because the crypto market ot still affected from the past price dip on last year 2018. I believe that ICO's well rise again if the crypto market rise. Ww also need to be more careful this time because the number of scam ICO and scammer is increasing.

Only those fool who will believe that ICO are still alive,yeah maybe there are few or atleast 1-5% of the existing has a good intentions in regards on how to help the cryptocurrency be recognized and grow but they are being eaten by these scammers and in the end they will be tagged or labeled as scammer also because of the majority.so literally they are Dead long time ago

The decline in quality and also competition with the existence of the IEO has made ICO indeed currently not much of a priority for investment in investors. most of them prefer to invest in the IEO rather than the ICO And this is the reality that exists today. to be said dead I don't think this is because until now the model of ico is still there every day struggling to build trust again.

Some time I can say ICO is dead because many time of ICO have listed on exchange market always lower price, but some time I get many ICO have higher price after listing on exchange market and keep it for long time.

ICO's were not dead, with the existence of new platform for the launch of new projects the importance of ICO's have been decreased a little. This doesn't mean that the ico's were dead. Whenever something advanced gets into the market for some time period there will be some lacking in the usage of the one that was much used in the past. This is what happened with ICOs

That's true. Even promising projects were getting listed at heavy discounts, causing massive losses for the investors. That's on top of the 90% of the ICOs, which turned out to be scams. Once the reputation is lost, then the recovery is very difficult. Many of the countries (such as China and South Korea) did the right thing by banning the ICOs altogether. But the scammers just moved to other jurisdictions, such as the Caribbean islands. And the crypto community was also not very proactive in preventing these scams.

ICO projects are not yet dead, but they are experiencing a very difficult time, which is associated with a falling market and a high level of fraud among such projects. We see that even today some ICO projects are successfully working and are raising the necessary funds to develop their ideas. Of course, without addressing the issue of eliminating fraud, the activities of ICO will not regain its former popularity. It seems that for this they need government regulation, which would be to check the ICO team and create such conditions for them to exclude the possibility of fraud, as well as to establish clear rights and obligations of participants in this type of activity.

It's not complement for me, because now it's more difficult for me to find a better project. The scam project has increased significantly now. That's true for me now I have avoided Ico investment.

To many ICO is dead and gone but things can still change with ICO if the market get stable and we have some genuine project instead of scam project.

ICO is indeed one of the things that can give you big profits. But the ICO that can provide a big advantage is before 2018. And throughout 2018 many ICOs experienced a lot of problems and lots of useless coins. But now seeing the market seems to be recovering. And I'm sure if this year the market will recover and more ICO projects will succeed.

if you make a cut by the number of ICO and IEO projects created and successfully completed before softcap - the answer will be obvious that ICO has really died.
Until they begin regulated at the state level with imprisoning fraudsters, nothing will change

ICOs are not really dead but it is going through evolution to IEO which makes it to be more better than ICO. Though some projects are still conducting ICO and I participated in one of them that did well at their initial listing but I don't think this will continue for long.

This is nice to see you passionate about ICOs but majority of ICOs had been very big scammers. This hurt the spirits of crypto enthusiasts and due to the fake and dubious nature and projects, ICO lost its demand. People love IEOs now and this is why the demand for ICOs declined down to a great extent despite the fact that ICOs had previously been the fundraising boom mechanism.

I believe everything will be replaced by time. now there are many ico that really fail in terms of price after entering the exchange, scam and ico that really do not run like the white paper they pour.
I'm not pessimistic but this is a fact.
I think the market will recover but not with ico, it is likely that ico will be replaced and currently there is something better than ico, EIO

ICO is not dead exactly, but people and investments there have also decreased, in the future it is possible as a complete revival of the ICO sphere, as well as the disappearance of the ICO sphere

And what are your guys thoughts on IEO industry? A bit modified and a bit more attractive in today's market conditions. What I personally like is that projects are also verified by the exchanges they conduct rounds on. And has anyone heard of Bitstars IEO, they are having it tomorrow? Because the project is pretty widely discussed these days, so curious to know your opinion ;)

ICO is no longer interested as much as 2017 and this indicates weakness in investor protection. I think maybe this year or next year, ICO will end and we should not invest ICO now because the risk is huge. If you want to invest, you should only invest in IEO projects because it will be much better and can avoid scam ICO projects. Now is not the time for venture capital because the market is in a risky period and your investment may be meaningless without the right choice.

Definitely not! ICO's not dead. That is why the reason why I am still here supporting the ICO's. Maybe there are times that the price is drop, but this is not the reason that you can conclude that it is dead. It is a part of industry or it has effect in the community because the prices goes up and down as well as the ICO's.

I think they are not alive anymore because as IEO entered, these ICOs are being ignored and I am hoping that it still comes back even though only few people are still doing it.

ICO is not dead but the power is down now most ICO don't reach hardcap or many fail,That is because investors are tired of ICO masked fraud.but there are a number of successful ICO projects that can only be counted on the fingers,only quality projects and have strong supporters who will succeed

The ICO is dying, because there are some ICOs that have reached hardcaps, but it still does not guarantee that the ICO will succeed because at this time we really cannot expect the ICO.

but that does not mean that if the ICO is completely dead, only I will wait for improved market conditions and see how the ICO is developing.
if ICO also improves, I will reinvest in the ICO.

ICOs will bounce back (especially under the form of STO) but utility tokens are dead in my books.

but all the way it would be the different form of ICO. now we can say that IEOs are the same ICOs only with exhcanges as a middlemen.

Exchange as the middle man is what makes people boost their confidence in investing again.

Investors never leave the market, they just need a proper platform that would give them security and this IEO gives them what they are looking.
ICO will still exist but it needs to improve, if the government will intervene it would help, without middle man it's alright as long as those ICO projects needs to register first in a certain government agency before they can start, they can either be denied or approve based on the guidelines.

The ICO money collection model is now over. Because in this model, continuous failures were experiencing frustrations and dramas. Now the new trend IEO. This model also does not have much guarantee.

I say they are alive ..bad ico doesn’t mean there aren’t good one around like ProBit since I started investing in IEO. I bought Farm2Kitchen F2K tokens in the IEO. Btw, I have a code to get extra bonus tokens. Message me on Telegram @pnash234

ICO are not really alive. Things have changed and now it’s the season of IEO. What’s causing this because of too many cryptocurrencies with little functionality. Everyone just making promises without working towards fulfilling it. People are very cautious of investing into new projects now.

ICO doesn't die. but indeed currently experiencing difficult times due to competition from the launchpad and also Ieo. plus a list of bad checks that make it harder for ico to get investors. so in my opinion it must indeed be able to restore investor confidence

I am agree that now is the season for IEOs. Investor prefer invest in IEOs on reputable exchanger because its more legit. Not all ICOs are bad but i think many investor more trust on IEOs held by reputable exchanger

Now among crypto enthusiasts it has become fashionable to pour out "slops" on the ICO, but I am 98% that if some interesting and promising project decides to hold an ICO, then all these skeptics rush to buy tokens forgetting about their previous speeches.

Why do people think the IEO industry is different than ICO industry? You know it is exactly the same thing, just that you are trusting an exchange instead of the company itself doing the ICO right? And that you are trusting that instead of the public doing due diligence and whatsoever investigations, you are trusting that the exchange will be ensuring everything is legitimate with the team.

I do not know how long the excitement around IEO will last. It seems to me that the topic with ICO will still show itself. It’s just that the market needs new rules of the game to fight fraudsters.

With the entrance of IEO, I think ICOs are not good  / dead already. IEO is more profitable now than ICO for the reason that ICO have done bad thing to a lot of people in the past. (Scams, unprofitable, inactive, etc.)

I don't think ICO is dead... Yes indeed, now everyone wants to participate in IEO but I think that the market, ICO has to prove himself.

IEO is not a panacea at all and it will not replace ICO

ieo startups won't last long either.  We need to come up with something new, maybe fees in the daoico format as suggested by Buterin.

Pretty sure most of ICOs investors are moving to IEOs. ICOs is not completely dead, it's true but it's close to the dead imo. If you look at the ICOs right now, most of them are not even reach softcap. Investors are not interested on ICO anymore. If this thing keep continue, ICO will be dead for sure.

If IEOs are in dobitrade or latoken, what is the difference from ICOs? There are deficiencies in both, but IEOs thoroughly tolerated in a short time. I believe that IEOs will reach the first place in this theme.

In my opinion there are still many good and promising ICOs, and one of the many ICOs that I recommend is Ammut, I have read in detail so that I have no doubt investing in ICO and Ammut bounty join.

I don't think so. Many good and unique projects were able to reach hardcap in recent days. People are now aware about scam projects.

It is gradually becoming unpopular as it appears more than 90% of them are scam or outright failures. Nobody would want to invest in what has a 90% failure rate. ICO's were more profitable in 2016/2017 and early 2018 but suddenly it because the scammers niche, I think the bear market also played a huge role. The developers greed in trying to hit a hardcap of several millions of dollars was their undoing and with huge dumps associated with those that managed to list on exchanges. IEO's are coming up too but I see them as dead on arrival.

Soon the boom by IEO will drop. And many investors will  return to ICO. Last year with a falling market reduced investors' enthusiasm. But ICO still is alive and will live.

Certainly ICO will go on. But personally, I’m attracted to IEO by the fact that the reliability of investments is much higher than in ICO as projects undergo an independent audit of exchanges. Here, for example, I noted the project Gexan which will be held by the IEO on May 10.

And you can link to this Gexan IEO? I would like to read the detailed information. Thank!

You can read the link: https://p2pb2b.io/token-sale/GEX
Gexan is a really interesting project that already has a really working product. IEO will be in a few days.

ICO's are not dead, it is replaced by IEO. We can buying coin and tokens in IEO running by exchange.
But i recommend we should only investing in some exchange that we trust.
Because the trusted exchange will only listing trusted projects.

Not actually replaced because we still have ICO here, there are two platform now in the market, the IOE and ICO, which for now IEO is getting the trust.

I blame the year 2017~2018 when there was so much ICO scam projects out there. It made investors so scared of startup projects which is affecting those legit ones. It's not that bad because STO's and IEO's were born to life because of investors wanting to have a much more secure state of mind while investing. ICO's are not dead but as an investor, you just have to play it smart and DYOR before you actually invest. One startup that I got into was a crypto-collectible project named Ecomi (http://ecomi.com?utm_source=ecomilx), they already sold out their private sales which means that they'll succeed moving forward. Plus the team is solid, their licensing guy was from Pokemon, Ninja Turtles. As a HUGE HUGE Shark tank fan, you need to love the project you're getting into, and believe the team that you're gonna be working with.

That's why we had STO and IEO. Projects keeps on protecting people from scams which is a good sign overall.

There is a way that I have seen that the most promising projects have been able to survive, and it is through some changes, that they have gone from ICO to STO, which, for many investors has given them more confidence and they decide to invest there, I have proven with a particular project, a lot of money has been collected and yet investors still give their approval due to the regulations that they require, and above all because the project is totally supported by a recognized company.

There are many investors who have started their research, it is about ICO, they have cleaned the name of the same since before they won the fame of most were scam, but due to these new regulations, where even the SEC gives the go-ahead , the projects will be much safer, For this reason I believe that they will not die.

I don't think that ICOs are dead yet, but there is an urgent need to put some regulations in place to put scammers away. Anyway, when the market goes in bull run again then ICOs would definitely rebound again.

now rather Yes than no,and this is connected primarily with the fact that now the market started the whole go to IEO,and as they say this is now the future,but must Corot and IEO thing of the past,Yes, but now ISO even very good projects will not's okay to collect the money,that says a lot!

The situation with the ICO market is very difficult now. Now is the time adjustment and the time when it will completely decide the fate of the Initial Sale of the Coins. The strongest projects from thousands of startups with unnecessary ideas and products will survive.

I don’t see any reason to invest since after ICO you can buy these tokens much cheaper
nk maybe after cryptocurrency growth something will change

I also feel interested in the IEO, many people turn to the IEO and they think the IEO will have a positive result and the IEO has a stable profitability, although ico still has the potential

We still cannot say if Initial Coin Offerings (ICO's) are dead because as long are there are new Alternate Cryptocurrencies being developed, it must still undergo ICO's. Its a critical stage of their promotion and a stage where they may know whether the platform they are creating will be used in the long run. They just need a good promotion for their ICO's to make people believe that they will not get scammed.

I don't care about this elrond you are promoting ICO is dying of 10 bounty campaign I've participated only 2 reach their softcap, and some ICO that I thought would deliver cannot keep up, who would have thought project like IOVO and Lbx will stop their crowdfunding because they cannot attract investors.

In fact there are still many ICOs that are successful, it may be more difficult because it competes with the IEO but I am sure that ICO that is designed well and attractively will be easily accepted by investors and markets.

nope, ico is not dead,.. there are project having there ico still.. but the new trend is IEO..

for me the ICO is not completely dead now, only some ICOs have stopped and some are still running. the appearance of the IEO and STO makes the ICO forgotten.

maybe that's just an expression where investor interest is now shifting to the IEO and we can see that many ICO projects are also lonely with investors. some of them even sold their sales to become IEO. everything is normal because I think the ICO and IEO are the same.

Many of them are dead while a few are still alive. Taking close pool at ICOs, a good number of them are shots and nothing to write home about. So in a nutshell, ICOs are dying slowly.

Today, the ISO market is of course extinct,even very cool projects can no longer collect the necessary amount for development,and listing on the stock exchange,so there is one thing,wait for a new wave,and then ISO can come to life,they want can no longer come to life,so now many have switched to the IEO market,it helps at least some money still collect,but also does not guarantee the success of the project!

No, there is no desire to fall into the trap by investing in ICO, it is too risky, and there are no guarantees that you will get anything at all. The IEO trend solves the problem of security and, to some extent, the problem of rising prices.

I think they are dead already as there have been little or no information about ICO whatsoever for a while now. It's been long I heard a project sourcing funds via ICOs, all are going after IEOs because that's where the activities is.
On the other hand, as for me, I don't think ICOs will worth my time and effort for now.

You're wrong with it, I'm not an ICO believer nor IEO, but for what I can see with is that there are some of the ICO at the present time now are now getting better and sometimes good rather than IEO, based on my observation. It is true that there is still shit project out there but there is also shit IEO that has been arise here too, were this is the reality things happened.

I think the ICOs are not yet dead because there are still investors here, but most people prefer to invest in IEO because the investment is bigger than that.

Agree, many investor trauma join in ICOs because many scammers in ICO project. They invest in IEO because guarantee get listing in market soon and to fight fraudsters, i think government regulation needed and i am believe this will gain more trust from ICO investor

I also I agree that ICOs are still alive. First of all, ICOs are an essential part of cryptocurreny because they are the future so it means they will never die but they will develop and innovate. There are still promising ICOs out there but unfortunately there are more worthless projects being introduce. Thats the problem, those ICOs should be minimize or eliminate.

The ICO and the IEO do not compete with each other, the IEO only has the advantage of giving its token access to available users of exchange. And it is guaranteed to be listed by exchange

Disagree, they are both crowdfunding, therefore if IEO projects receives more funds, they are more successful than ICO, that is regardless of what they issued to investors.

Even there is IEO or STO the ICO is not dead actually there are more ICOs project are very profitable but many of us are being afraid of investing on ICOs because they heard that most of them are scam, it depends on you how to find good ICOs.

ico isn't dead yet. although there are many cases of fraud on ico but in fact the ico project still exists and continues to emerge. but I think most investors are currently reconsidering before investing in Iico for various reasons including rampant ico fraud cases.

absolutely right, ICO or IEO is actually the same. all depends on the investor's assessment of the quality of the project being delivered. not oriented to ICO or IEO. they will still be there, or maybe regulations that make one of them not available.

It is not and it will never be I think.

Everyday, there are new ICO's that are launching here on the forum. Its a hard fact but the market needs ICO to have new coins. If ICO's are dead right now then no new coins must be created at this moment but it is not so it is still alive. :D

ICOs are really not dead, it all depends on the ICO project you are participating in. Do a well organised and proper research into any ICO project you come across before you go into it and if your research serves you right to participate in that ICO project. If it ends up successfully, then will you realize that ICOs are really not dead but ICOs needs time, funds and a process to climb higher.

yes you right, ICO is not dead and same like before but people is just see if ICO is danger zone and IEO now be a new trend.
so that's why people here is think if ICO is dead.
we can keep looking the good ICO success with huge profit like 2017.

Icos are nt dead they are being replaced by IEO where Ieo are playing the same role of ICOS . what are flaws are there in ICO and covered in IEO

maybe it's true, ICO has died, for more than 2 years in a very long time we have not even seen a single ICO building technology, and also in 2018 yesterday there were a lot of ICOs that conducted SCAMs here enabling investors to close their eyes on investing in ICO

Nevertheless, the old model called ICO can be called dead, or close to death. Although many people think that this is a period of hibernation, and under certain conditions, the ICO will be reborn. I doubt it.

ICO is being replace now by IEO or having a third party which is exchange.
This idea might get more investors again as many were scammed with ICO last 2018 up to now.
I thought everything will turn well and will give more shine in the coomunity of token sales.

BUT NOW IDAX is on BIG problem with SCAM!

IS IEO safe? or we should go back to ICO?

ICOs are alive, it is only very to find legitimate ICOs recently and also legitimate ICOs have been unable to raise the required fund to proceed with their projects because of the bearish market that happened in the middle of last year.

They should be dead.

yes, there are still a lot of ICOs running and in my opinion not a few are quite successful but when compared to the number of ICOs that fail, now ICOs that survive are very small.
but even so, ICO is still not dead.

I think ICO is not very attractive at this time for investors who usually prefer the IEO rather than the ICO, because by being an IEO participant it will be faster to enter the exchange place and the token offered can be directly used for trading, unlike the ICO who is still waiting a long time and make investors bored.

I don't think so, the fact is there are still many ico appearing on this forum, if you think ico is dead that means investors are also included. I mean, ico also needs funds from investors, while investors also need ico, so they both need each other. on the other hand IEO / STO is currently favored by investors for several reasons.

ICO is not dead but most people are now turning to the IEO, they are already very bored with the ICO situation which always spends money such as decreasing prices or losing money because of being taken

Altcoin still exits, I think ICO will never die!. At this time when the cryptocurrency market is growing of the price, there are some potential ICO project will launch to attract the investor and member to do bounty task. At the future, ICO will be the part of this market in high-potential altcoin processing. 

6 months after, Elrond is having its IEO on one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchange. It's really applaudable seeing how optimistic you were about the project during the crypto market turmoil.

I think as long as new projects continue to be created, the ICO or IEO will continue to exist. Maybe now many people choose the IEO, but there will be times when there is a new system that makes it easier for investors to invest in good projects. I think ICO and IEO can run simultaneously

I agree, ICO will still exist because some projects don't want the IEO on a small exchanger and only want the IEO on some large exchangers. ICO still has a big opportunity if the project promises investors and I think the developer team must prepare good marketing

Data show us that ICO's are dying. The total fund raised by ICO drastically decreased in this year and people are getting tired of fake, scam projects. ICO isn't a good way of fundraising anymore. Instead, blockchain startups have to prove their technology and vision in the way of traditional startup did before. They have to make Demo and do the pitching to the investors. I think this is the maturing process.

Many ICOs are still running and may succeed in achieving the softcap target. Indeed, currently the IEO / STO is a favorite after many ICO problems last year but I think the ICO, IEO and STO can walk together and reach their respective targets

I see that currently ICO has less appeal to investors, this is likely due to too many scammers, besides that I see investor attention focused more on the IEO. if we see this phenomenon the possibility of ICO does not have a long life.

I think that is probably true. Investors now invest in IEO projects on large exchange like Binance, Huobi, Okex, etc. Because of the disadvantages of ICO projects, it is a time for a long time to raise capital  and list on the exchanges. There is an ICO project I know that takes 1 year to list  on the exchange. The advantage of the IEO model is that projects are immediately listed on the exchanges and bring huge profits to investors. The most recent example is the ONE project that listed on Binance which brought in 10 times the profit for investors buying at the price of IEO.

ICO's are really not dead but alive, reason being that most ICO projects needs funds, time and process to come out successfully, without these 3 fundamentals,most ICO's are seen dead but in reality they are alive. Time happens to everything at every point in life and I believe ICO's will rise well when they meet the 3 fundamentals.

The more reasons why most ICOs failed woefully is their illicit act of collecting investors money and after the end of the ICOs, then the price drop without any reasons for the course. They actually scammed investors and have come to eat their own deed. IEO is now onboard.

ICO is not dead.
However, some are failed and some are cams. We, as investors or other participants, must be aware of those two risks. That is why being careful, smarter, and also deep analysis must be owned. We must know which ICOs are legit and which are not.

Funny enough ICO's are not dead, just that it is increasingly becoming unpopular these days against IEO's, as a matter of fact I just witnessed a particular project that has just concluded its sale and yes, they achieved hardcap. I hope they change the trend and make people trust in ICO's once more

There are a few icos that failed but so far this time more icos are deciding to create a partnership with the exchange site. IEO is the new transformation from the old ico and i thought that you have known about that dude.
You put ICO in the place as IEO.

in IEO  investors and developers team will have same benefits.only qualified projects that will able listed in IEO.and ofcourse developers team have to prepare their projects well before they launched their IEO schedule.

Congrats. Your Elrond has been accepted by the Binance IEO launchpad. But One question to you that, If you don't believe that ICO market is dead then why you come through the Binance IEO launchpad?
