Is ICO regulation good or bad?

[Argoo]

The need to regulate the implementation of ICO projects has long been ripe. This should be done by specific states on its territory. Regulation should include the ability to identify the team of this project and check for professional suitability for this in order to reduce the likelihood of fraud risks and protect the rights of investors and other persons participating in this ICO.

For me ICO regulation is really a good
thing. And I suggest the Tokenlab for
you guys, it is really a great project.
The nice thing about it is that it protects
both participant and the creator.

I believe that regulations will help us and reduce the amount of similar icos and scam. Of course regulation need to be smart, and give opportunity for good projects with good ideas. I think it helps us save our money and time for reading information about hundreds  icos

Yes I think it's a good thing to have regulations so that people can easily issue ICO’s while being tight enough so that people don’t obviously get scammed. There are some good ICOs, but they should have terms, conditions, incentives and protections.

Regulation in each ICO is very important, so that anyone will partake in it will have an idea about the terms and conditions it has. And so far, this was being implemented to all ICO that I encountered every time I tried to applied there whether participants of their bounty or investors.

I must say I agree, good point!

yes ICOs need to be regulated so decrease the scam ICOs,but ban is not a good idea.

i think ICO regulation should be launched to help control irregularities and scams.There are soo much ICO's upcoming this days without unrealistic white paper and business model.

That is what I want to say, also some measures like KYC are very effective to do that, and all the investors should read carefully about the whitepaper before sending your eth or btc to the ico address.

In order to improve the stance of ICO and bitcoins and altcoin to the world and to other countries not accepting it isn't bad. However, the concept of bitcoin being decentralized will be taken out and prices for bitcoin and altcoins will sure increase due to the interval from other regulatory agency it will become on investors. I guess it would be good or bad depending upon the acceptance of the bitcoin and alt coin users.

ICO regulations whether good or bad is required now. Instead of countries banning ICOs, they should try to regulate it. This way they wont restrict new companies to come up and can successfully safegaurd people from ICO scam which is getting way too common now. Everyday new ICOs are popping up without any solid project and have created a mess which cause a raising issue for legit projects as well. Regulations are very much required right now.

More and more countries are planning to regulate ICOs. China, Canada, Russia,... I think this in an development nobody can stop. Do you think it is good or bad that ICOs will be more regulated in the near future? What positive and negative influences will it probably have?

I think there will be more investors like professional managed funds or even retirement funds which will invest into ICOs. The prices for ICOs will then become even more expensive and make it more difficult to make profits for small investors.

I am dispose for ICO regulations because of the activities of scam and fraud stars. Many people have been scammed and millions dollars lost from scam ICO projects and allows this to continue will destroy blockchain technology and crypto currencies industry.

I think the big profit of ICO will be over, more regulations will come, just like other markets like stock market, I hope the ICO to be regulated by some big organizations rather than some governments.

ICO regulation isn't a bad thing....I won't say 'Good' unless it doesn't really mess with the 'centralization' concept.

Last thing any Crypto Enthusiast likes to see is a government that allows their citizens to invest in any ICO and even to adopt BTC and other Crypto Currencies but under the condition that every single activity, transaction or payment should first go through their system!....That will simply ruin everything

[nik9990]

I think that this will reduce the number of conducted companies by 90 percent, and to start the project, it will take a lot more money if you take into account that documents will be needed and so on. For small investors, I think this will be very bad, since their deposits are limited to 10 thousand dollars

[barlo357]

I don't think that ICO regulation is good. I hope there's a way to improve its regulation.

[inyakizuryel]

In my side i thing regulation is not a bad thing it is because we will be authorized by the authority but the disadvantage is there will be people who will be lazy in creating ICOs because of the regulation that is why for me that is the disadvantage while the advantage of having an authority in this kind of thing is there will be a monitoring if the ICOs are scam and will be banned if they are not doing the right thing but I hope the regulation will be improved in case it will happen.

I think it is not bad. There are many advantages that we can have from of ICO. There are many jobs that are created because of the bitcoin and there are many people who have now job because of ICO. I think ICO is really necessary.

ico arrangements by the state will better guarantee its security, because ico is implemented will be more organized and selected

[dumbtool45]

The regulation of the ICO should be to some extent, after all, each of us can be deceived. It is important that this regulation is not political and it was only the purpose of protecting the population. I think this is still far away.

Regulation of an ICO has good effect for the country but has bad effect to other greedy business owners. There's a ton of ICOs out there and still tons of incoming. This will lead to a unstable economy because these companies are collecting fortune without giving any tangible valued items. I am very concern about the fact that everyone wants to earn workout working hard. What will happen if everyone is doing this?
ICO regulation is a must to balance the economy.
