Will ICO fundrising survive at 2018+?

[moamin77]

Serious & logical regulations will definitely limit the number of ICOs....but IMHO; ICO as a concept will Never die....it's highly tied to the Crypto Industry

[lobo13hf]

ICO is like kickstarter, so it'll most likely to survive until many years later, as you see that a project which held kickstarter by raising funds through Initial public offering or such also have percentage to be scam. basically the same as ICO so there's no need to worry, by the way even if ICO becoming obsolete, another method will appear.

Yeah, except the blockchain doesn't eat 20% of everyone's funding like kickstarter.

As long as the CryptoCurrency is alive, ICO will continue to exist - nobody can stop it and there will always be a new idea.

I'd like to agree, but I can't. I think government regulations will finally kill ICO as a method of fundrising(

[kandholabhavna]

ICO fund raising is definitely here to stay. I am happy about the regulations that are being set up. Especially in the case with China, we will shortly get news that they are not really banning the crypto currency trading but just the unregulated ICO's as it was draining out money from China.

It is a difficult story speaking about ICOs. On the one hand, it is relatively easy to get money from investors, on the other hand, it is based mainly on money making. So the investors may not inform about the aim of the new coin. In longterm conditions, I guess, it will not survive. But this will happen probably in some years, so 2018 may too close.

I also think that there ICO  is a very convenient form of collecting money, but also I believe that there should be minimal regulation to throw away all the slag from this market

[Dot99lr]

Decentralized ICOs are the future.

[MartiniBlanco]

There are so many fears and rumors around ICO. I think that ICO format is very convenient for projects as well as for investors. There are too many scam ICOs and I understand what is the point of the governments fear. But I wonder what do you think about ICO in 2018+. Will it survive?

I think ICO fundrising will survive in 2018! I think its good that we will have a few regulations in the future, many people just made fake ICOs and fked up all the money from the people. Stronger projects will get more attention with these regulations, thats good for the market!

[DigiAset]

In the future most of the companies adopt blockchain technology... so many new startups will come up with an interesting projects. so ICO's will be more..

[onesalt]

For 2018, I believe it will survive. Later on, I have some doubts. At the same time, decentralized ICO project has potential, we will wait and see

[johnsm79]

If the ICO of 2017 do not produce a product or do not stick to their roadmap we will see
a huge affect in the industry, and a lesser hype

As we have seen that china have started the process to regulate the ICO process that is why they have temporarily banned ICO and will start after it gets regulated. So in 2018 only the genuine projects ICO will be surviving and cryptocurrency will get a new module to work on.

[bitcoindusts]

Ico will survive.  This had been the vehicle of startups that are promising but lack in project.  As long as blockchain technology exist, I believe Initial Coin Offering will survive, it may change its name just like IPO, ITO, or any kind of crowdfunding.  Now if blockchain ceased to exist then that will be the sign of ICO not surviving.

[aoluain]

I wonder if ICO's fundraising can be tailored to meet
new regulations that will be put in place. Maybe
adopt the same mechanism for fundraising that is
similar to the likes of Kickstarter ?

to me there is very little between a crypto ICO and Kcikstarter . . .

[Flodemaga]

It will survive since a lot new projects are coming and almost all of them will improve and benefict somehow all the others coins, and well there are always new opportunities and new visions wich will get fundrising without any issue, ICO scam does belong to the past atleast it should be, people wont invest into shitcoins anymore unless you have a solid reputation and roadmap.

[Snaic]

I think that in the near future, not only China, but also other countries will try to resolve the ICO in order to protect investors from potential fraud in this area. However, ICO is in demand and they will exist for a long time. Many coins created by ICO will die, new ones will come to their place.

[tk808]

There will be other countries who will also ban ICO's, but the medium to invest with bitcoins, or etc etc will not change. The shape and manner in how we do it will definitely change in one form or another.

[acpr23]

Regulations will come and cannot be stopped, yet if ICO's will comply to any regulations given by governments there shoul be no problem it is also a good way to prevent scam ico's from taking money of investors, also coin/token devs and team may also use the airdrop way to distribute their coin if they want to avoid the ICO issues and regulations.
