Are we Seeing a pullback in ICO investments

[shursight]

people are not investing in icos anymore because they all noticed about all the people who have been scammed because those kind of projects. It is just like giving some money to a startup project, only that you will receive some coins in return, and this is fake, because most times you will receive a token that is not even worth a 1/3 of what they promised to the investors.
anyway, it is good to hear this, because a lot of icos needs more regulations from the governments.

Are we seeing a pullback in ICO investing During the Oct period?

Due to recent ICO's not gaining once they hit market or also the fact we have had alot of new money come into ICO's over the recent months.

Why do you think there is less investment into ICO's if you think there is less

The ICOs are still there. But I have observed that many projects now are raising their soft and hard caps. They are becoming more and more ambitious. Aside from that, the number of ICOs in the market are becoming so big that investors are now having a hard time choosing which one is the one that will give them the most return later. Because of the great number of ICOs, it is logical that the amount of investment, even if it also increases, will be divided, unlike when there are only a few of them.

There is no pull back in ICO, i think many people are looking for trusted with good future plans  to invest their money.

In previose year also in the end of year or q4 a lot of ico only can gathered small ammount of money. You can check stratis, ark and neo. But in my opinion the best ico is in thhese month when no much people invest in it. Because it makes the coin have a large room to grow in marketcap when it hit exchanger.

Mainly stupid ideas and obvious scams where the block chain isn’t needed or the market is already saturated to the point where no new entrants can profit. Take that car taxi ico, ridiculous. There is no need for a block chain and scale wouldn’t work in localised markets.

One some of them scammed people and those people never got their money back except for the case of enigma catalyst ICO which was hacked and they lost 500,000$ but instead of running away they refunded the people back. Hope for ICOS is going down as people expect to get like 200-400% return on investment and they want the ico coin to be listed on a major exchange, but they don't understand that getting listed is not that easy and it's a hell a lot expensive.

Good question.

I think with the recent waves of ICO scamming people, ICO having its issues, like hack or a Tezos situation and then there is the government issues a total ban of it, people are now putting less money on ICO. Until such time that ICO and government has somewhat settled their issues then we might see the trend continues. So at least those who are thinking of putting up a ICO will have to comply making them trusted by investors.

I think maybe 70% of the ICO's were either Wall Street money trying to game the Crypto market, or outright frauds, or just incompetent people.
It did throw off the business of the many of the major companies, which haven't recovered their heights since the ICOs really started in earnest in Summer of 2017.    I hope people can put their dreams and hopes in those older companies again.

I think ICO bullback will happen in 2018 after forming regulations, the idea of ICO is great, but there are always who can exploit useful ideas to scam people.
