I don't think so. If the year ago even the bad ICO could gather a lot of money, then now we have a different situation - only the best ones survive. For instance, Spotcoin raised $14 Mil only for a pre-sale and one week of ICO. While good projects will be created - ICO will not die.

There are so many New ICO's these day ? Is that safe to invest in ICO ? any 1 invested in 2018 ? 2017 was the year of ICO's but is that still safe to invest ? or how to know which ICO is good to invest ? like GIG9, Eligma, Medicalchain, Trustedthealth
Investing in cryptocurrency has always been risky. But you can find a gem if you look good. I recommend you to have a look at Spotcoin - Georgian company that had a great success on pre-sale and now runs an ICO, it's backed by the local government and has huge potential.

It's great to see countries and the government that moving forward with technology development. It's also nice to see support from the people: Spotcoin's ICO runs right now and has great success.
|
|
|
I think the team is the most important gear in the ICO mechanism. The project with qualified professionals will success. For instance, Georgia-based company Spotcoin hit soft cap of $5 million even before the start of the public ICO. This became real with the coordinated work of the staff which in turn inspires the trust of the crypto community.

Collect as much information as possible about market behavior, learn from your own and others' mistakes and don't play with big investments. Start small and grow big.

I don't think KYC for airdrops offered is fair for those who joined. Some ICO with airdropping is not also fine to get KYC for tokens worth almost nothing or a burger meal is not really fine. I observed it in some ICOs with airdrops that even with giveaways like that so small needs KYC? Don't fall for it guys, not worth it.
I recommend avoiding these projects. This is a ridiculous requirement, the purpose of which is only the collection of information for sale to third parties.

Yet, 2018 year is terrible for Ethereum and cryptocurrency in general. But I think all can change in the blink of the eye as it was last year. I believe this will happen sooner or later.
|
|
|
It's skilled and experienced team around the project. I think the cryptocurrency can't be successful without strong developers and great chemistry between employees of all ranks.

Cryptocurrency and its technology have all the prerequisites to be adopted by the world economy. But the technology is still too raw and the process of development and implementation will take a long time.
|

If you are to choose, which one would you prefer to store your money, banking which is susceptible to fraud like identity theft, lost and stolen cards, ATM withdrawal scams etc., or cryptocurrency wallet which is susceptible to cyberspace scams? Why?
If you follow all the safety recommendations, a crypto wallet is more secure in comparison with the bank where the safety of your money does not depend on you. But at the moment I'm not satisfied with the crypto volatility and I don't keep big sums here.

ICOs are losing popularity due to the drop in the market. Some tokens substantially losing its value right after exchange release and you should be careful with your investment.
|
|
|
I think scam ICOs also played a role in this market crash. Too many projects that do not fulfill their roadmap and whitepaper promises. They simply collected significant amounts of money, and in fact, did not realize those ideas.
|
|
|
This is a million dollar question. But the fact is that no one knows when this will end. The most persistent investors continue to hold their crypto and this gives a chance for a market's turn.
|
|
|
In any thing, even negative, you can find pros. In this case, OP is right, scammers "teach" us to be more vigilant and cautious which will help not only in crypto but in life in general.

I think NEO has not yet fully revealed its potential and can bring us some surprises in the future. It's for sure can compete with Ethereum as the main blockchain network for the ICOs.
|
|
|
It will all depend on the price of cryptocurrency. The ICO's popularity has been decreased drastically after the fall of the market. And in the same way, it can increase after the market grow.
|
|
|
It's a big opportunity in a technological way. Crypto has brought a lot of great technologies that will be used in the future. At the same time, it can be dangerous in a financial way. Many investors have lost large sums of money in pursuit of "easy profit".
|
|
|
Usually, I use icodrops-like sites for this. They have a list of the active and upcoming ICOs with the "Bounty" tags. Or just search it in the Bounties (Altcoins) thread.

Have really been thinking this for a quite a while now, those whitepaper of any projects really tells us what the project all about. Are they transparent enough to have every project goals in the whitepaper. A lots of projects are out there with nice whitepaper but they eventually failed. How come, what causes the failure?
Sometimes the whitepaper is written by people whose goal is to attract the attention of the investors just by a beautiful spelling, and the company may not even fulfill its promises.
