Is ICO regulation good or bad?

[nareshrohra]

Before the centralised banking system, Banks were not regulated and known as "Free Banking Era". In those days, banks were shortlived with avg life span of upto 5 years. About half of the banks failed, and about a third of which went out of business because they could not redeem their notes.
Post the regulation the scenario only improved.

With ICOs being regulated there's a silent message from governments: "if we can't ban it, we might as well regulate it to improve it". So, yes it is going to be good and become more robust

If the regulation ICO is intended to reduce scamming the public, of course that's a good step. Because, will help people who jump in the world cryptocurrency get comfort in investing.

whether regulation is good or not, it need time to proven, but regulation is needed at this time, without which scam ico will turn out good project and cause a great loss eventually

[Neo.op]

The number of ICOs will increase day by day and will increase in number of fraud.
it will be difficult for us to find the right ico

I think ICO regulation is very good. It's give us a better opportunity. ICO is most profetable to coin holder.
But a important thinks, first need to protect a scam project.

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 think Is not necessary ICO is bad, i agree with regulation ICO

Agreed and thats why we actually need regulation about ICO despite the reaction of many people considering the release of regulation regarding ICO is bad, it actually has the positive side.
the fraid will be prevented, as well as scamming activities will be decreased by making the rules more strict.

ICO regulations are good for cryptocurrency markets as many ICOS are coming to the market to grab money from investors and then disappear. If regulation comes, then everyone have to follow the rules if they want to raise funds for their project through ICO  otherwise they are not able to enter the market with their issue.

regulation does not mean it will definitely get better. we must also consider some aspects, such as the number of scam ICOs. of course it would be better if the regulation could hit a scam. but that's no guarantee. I hope everything gets better with regulation.

Well it depends on who you are. If you are making ICO's I would say regulation is bad. If you believe in the top coins available now regulation maybe good as the market cap would only go toward existing coins.

[wayaneka]

I think ICO regulation is very good for crypto and token market in the future because with any regulation the trust of investor will be more to the project  . In addition, investors will feel more comfortable to investing in ICO and also protected them from fraud. With any regulation also to avoid exsistence money laundering which can be done by irresponsible party.

It will have its pros and cons, as anything else for sure. Good thing it can threaten scammers, bad thing many good projects are postponed/shut down

[hendra147]

for investor is a good deal, no we can see where the legal ICO and where the scam ico. ethereum is the first sucesfull crowdfunding, now more startup come to blockchain world and open his crowdfunding too, so i think goverment regulation is good.

[panorama]

I think regulations in place to help avoid scams would be a good thing to, but beyond that I'd like to see an industry association start pushing for certain standards.

[anasso]

i am with regulation because there is more and more ico scams!

so any country regulate ico is in the order to protect his citizens!

Regulating ICO will help to eliminate those fake and scammers while protecting the investors and as well as the participants. Lot of legit ICO are now affected by those scammers in which the need to end it is absolute to preserve the true purpose of ICO existence which is to benefits the user of the bitcoins and altcoins traders and investors.

Existence outside of legal norms is not a good thing. The corrupt and otherwise malignant politicians are likely to have some bad impact, but they do the same to many things and still it's not a good enough reason for worldwide anarchy.

[jijikill]

Depends on your intention
If you are looking for :
Long term investment : Yes regulations is great as it brings more security to investor and block out scammers
Speculation : Nope, with regulations there are many barriers and roadblock so it's difficult to see ur ICO go 10x or 100x and you will be involve in tax,legal concern

[8rch7]

my opinion, if the regulation is to control the ICO, I think it will have a good impact either for the investors, the developer, or the government, because with the regulation, all will be more regular, will create the principle of mutual benefit, made in a balanced manner by presenting representatives from related parties.

To me, there are two aspects of this. Negative and positive. The positive one is the one you already explained. This way, scam ones will be eliminated. But the negative one is that some people will be out of the market and they won't be able to make investments in new projects.
