The END of ICO's?

[David_5M]

With clear regulations from the government, it will allow ICOs to be conducted in a manner which both issuers and investors can be protected. So this is just the beginning of ICOs.

[The_Dark_Knight]

I think not. Regulation should be done. A more strict rule on creating an ICO. I agree that old coins will benefit from this. 

I disagree with your point of regulation should be done, I know there are a lot of scams going on but people fall on those scams because they want to become rich quick, we will not need government regulation if people took the time to look at the projects and read the bad review leave there by the members that actually go and make a research in the project, but no, people keep throwing their money at useless projects and losing money and now are crying for governments to save them. Go figure.

[The_Dark_Knight]

As long as they don't get suspended on Russia haha  . On a more serious note tho, it may actually have the opposite effect (Streisand Effect) and result in ICOs being more profitable

Maybe for the ones that do go through with it, but I think as more regulations pop up there will be less and less ico's being launched.

But this ICOs will be well-thinking, legitimate and clear for all. And wild west of ICOs ended. With all + and - .

this can help we avoid scam ICO and trash ICO. why many people think this news is bad. :/

Because for many people if they made money with a coin then that coin is great but if they lose money with the coin then that coins is bad, so for those people if they lose with a coin even if it was because of their own  mistakes then that is a coin that will always be bad for them but if they earn money with a coin that is obviously a terrible coins they do not care, they like the profits, it does not make sense but many people think like that.

Yes i agree with some users in here, but nothing has happened to bitcoins, i think that all notices that we had in the past were failed fuds, because the only country that made some regulations for ico's were china and south korea, but it is not confirmed at all.
And a lot of people were saying that bitcoin/icos were going to be banend in francia, india, russia, and the whole asia.
What a nice try people.

[viber1234]

if a project is solid and the owners really want to implement it with the money gathered from an ICO, i am not seeing any reason why this will stop.

I am very familiar with ico made in china, russia, ukraine, and america, if these four countries finally banned all investments in ICO then it will be bad for the future of altcoin new circulation, i think china and russia people have to think again with potential profit they will can from ICO, they can apply strong KYC rules to every investor, if they form a special escrow it will be very effective.

Regulation will not stop bitcoin. It's new to conservative governments and they just want some control. Some regulation is not so bad, with so many cowboys trying to get rich in a short period of time. There are too many scams and that has to stop.

[omonuyak]

Are ICO's as we know them coming to an end?  U.S., now China... Will all ICO's be regulated now? (would regulation be good?)

Ico projects has not come to an end and what the government: both the United States of America and Chinese government are trying to do is to regulate them in away that ico will not affect their monetary policy. Scamming activities has also find it way into ico projects and if government did not put them under check their will create havoc.

[anasso]

and now more and more sketchy coins with airdrops for every one!

brace winter is coming

This thing is normal, because a token can not gives us a good profit like our hope when we invested into this token will be bad token in our thought. If you are also an investor have this trouble, what is your think in that time? Do you also have a thought like my said?

[Nothingbuttmoney]

hell no, the end
i just started bithezzzz

[romeo111]

I think a Countries can take regulations, But they will never control or regulate at any ICO structure.
But bitcointalk can regulate it and protect out scam ico's.

[surfinonmyownwavebaby]

Dont think ICOs will end completely but this ICO bubble that we are in certainly cannot go on forever. Perhaps will more money always incoming into the industry ICO caps can be higher but one thing is certain there needs

to be more regulation in this aspect of cryptocurrencies.

[error08]

No, it's not the end of ICOs, but a better step to get legit projects due to government regulations.
More countries ban ICOs such as in China and South Korea, on the other hand Russia have warned their citizens to be aware of the high risk (https://www.coindesk.com/russias-central-bank-issues-warning-cryptocurrencies-icos/),  but most coutries doesn't have regulation about it and first world countries planned to regulate it (https://cointelegraph.com/news/in-wake-of-china-ico-ban-japan-singapore-us-give-crypto-second-look)
- Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is looking at how to handle ICO’s to reduce money laundering and fraud. This includes establishing specific accounting rules on how to treat cryptocurrency transactions.
- The Monetary Authority of Singapore, said in a memo in August that it intends to regulate the sale of cryptocurrencies if it relates to products under their securities regulation. Their main concern is the potential for money laundering and terrorist financing through the ICO process.
- US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website urge buyers of digital tokens to be vigilant and provide them with ways of identifying investment schemes that could be used for nefarious purposes.

Most ICOs should come to an end because most are scams.

Many are rehashed or copies of other ICOs.

There is no way to tell if they can develop anything.

Hi, guys, there will be no future without ICO. I know a lot of amazing projects which raised money during ICO. Governments of all the countries need to assist to ICO, but not ban it. A good example - Confideal ICO. It is supported by the Blockchain Association of Ireland, and this product allows you to carry out quick, cheap and safe transactions without the participation of third parties. The platform is based on Ethereum Smart Contracts that are optimized for use by non-programmers.  Check it - these guys made smth very special!

What makes this Confideal different from other blockchain projects?

[Densite]

ICO will become a de facto method of raising funds in the future. The main thing is that there were more ICO with a real product and a strong team, such as Confideal, Global tex or Atlant

It is possible to use the Ethereum blockchain to create smart-contracts manually, however this requires coding skills. Confideal is a unique platform, which offers a full stack of tools necessary to create, maintain and fulfill contracts using any ERC-20 tokens. Try to search more on telegram or their website at least

[alpsea]

ICO is too much for now, maybe it could be good. It will be very effective.
