Sure ico's are making devs milionairs ,so for why to stop that goldmine.How many ico;s will deliver that what thay have promised,think twice or more before invest
Also since the SEC is putting restrictions on their US citizens I think many ICOs were launched because they want to grab as much money as they can before some laws are put in place that will make them illegal or that will require them to be more strict on how ICOs are managed.
I don't see any relationship between bitcoin soft split and the number of new/upcoming token sales. Opportunity chasers saw these token sales as a method to get rich. That's all.
That was not the point of my post, but first of all, bitcoin did not go trough a soft fork it was a hard fork, and second I did not argue at all that the fork had anything to do with the recent spike of ICOs my point is that regulation is coming and everyone wants one last pay day.
