ICO bubble

[Hawker]

i agree with you on this subject. but I know that quality projects will always win. so not all ico are called bubble. those who want to make money should follow quality projects.

Well ICO regulations are coming to the US more soon than later

You can't really regulate ICOs. A few people will be put off, but more than enough US citizens simply won't give a damn and invest anyways. Regulation never stopped the flow of money and it never will.

Countries that will give most freedom will gain most on long term.  Companies will just avoid countries like USA. That will be huge loss fro them. For country are not that impotent investors that companies itself. They pay taxes. And if those companies will not be welcomed in USA will pay taxes elsewhere.  It is simple. Countries that realized this already will gain most.

This year we have seen hundreds of new ICOs flood the market.
White papers & Road Maps for the project are being created. Investors are then pumping in millions of USD for their tokens due to the hype and greed.

Alot of these ICOs are teams of a few developers. How much money do they need to get started? Previously such company's would start of with several thousands worth of investment.
If the company was a good project and had the passion to succeed it would make it. A high percentage would of course fail.

A lot of these ICOs will not deliver on their promises. The road map goals will not be met.

QRL is one recent example. Development goals were not met and one of the developers left the company dumping a lot of coins on Bittrex.

When more and more projects fail to meet goals the bubble will pop.

And I seriously hope it will pop very soon. There are just too many of them. I think they are using ICOs as milking cows for them to pocket more and more money while leaving those who were easily beguiled with tears in their eyes and regrets. ICO is a great mechanism actually but it needs some regulations. There is non-stop ICOs right now. It is not healthy to the crypto environment anymore.

True, going back on the past i do see ICO which do pop out on a very rare rate on which investors are still striving to go in because there are only few iCOs out there which it can easily be filled up the certain hard capped and reach it in no time but now it seems they do already make it as the main hype on making money which Icos are now everywhere,launching for a couple of weeks or even days which would really make hesitations and confusions for potential investor on which project they would choose. Hard to identify which is legit or not and which do have potential or just a total trash.

i'm lost at why people give ICOs the time of day in the first place

ICOs=Startups
the same situation have in the real world, too. there are too many startups getting fund and some projects successing, some projects failing.
so as the same as here like real world. of course some project will fail and some projects will success.

Would be curious to know if someone actually earned something off their ICO investments. ANybody?

I have been thinking this very thing lately, especially after ziber.io is now confirmed a scam. I cant help but view every new ICO these days as a potential scam. Its as if the HYIP investor scammers have moved to ICO's. Much more money to be made and much faster.

I think the tv show Silican Valley has a lot to answer for

First you have to know definition of bubble before you called a market bubble, people have lots of money and they can invest in any projects they like, this is not bubble, but just a natural market reaction.

ICO's a lot lately . There is a possibility the most out of this scam. We need to be very careful .

Main difference is that these starts up are being given millions of USD to start with.

All want to earn money quickly and easily. ICO is currently like a quick way to raise money then cheat many investors. Or another attempt to steal a running project like Coindash.
Very worried. Be careful they are around us.

I think ICOs will be around for a while yet, very few coins / projects were looking for an ICO years ago but with the rise of ETH it seems that it is a very popular way for people to make / scam money.

The first thing I look at is the team. Even if the concept is good, unless the team members have a track record of successful projects, I won't get all in.
Sometimes I put 40-50 bucks on something.
Only if there are professionals with a history of profitable projects will I put down 500 or more.

[cryptomartin]

I don't think that there is a bubble. Too early.

[CoinSpeculator]

if you track to world economy you will see that bubble on all commodity.
if you check all stock exchanges graphs you see same things. problem is not ICO, problem is too many money on circulating in the world.
