I've noticed that the ICO space has really heated up the past few months. A lot of the discussion has been about specific ICO's, and I want to focus this thread on the larger effects this is having on the crypto space and business in general (competition, regulation, etc.). Here's my two cents: It seems like a lot of the recent ICO's are trying to cash in on a craze without providing anything new or unique to the world. They are creating excessive competition over unnecessary tokens. Does everyone realize the benefits,
or lack thereof, of the technology they are investing in? Is it possible this is hindering cooperation across the crypto community?
I do believe in the future there will be more pseudo-ICO's built on a hybrid platform, combining other internet services with cryptocurrencies. Crowdfunding is a great example of this, but also social networking in general. For instance,
this thread considers the possibility of funding brick-and-mortar retail stores or restaurants with cryptos. How can we adapt ICO's in the future to meet these market needs?
