Almost whole last year and January of these year was the best time for ICOs, right now it is really hard for projects to even gather sofft cap. There are legit ICOs right now that cant even reach softcap and then they have to make longer ICO period. If they coldnt reach soft cap, that doesnt mean that they are scammers.
By my count, about 300 ICOs are launched every month. Considering that the fundraising among all the ICOs accounts for 500 million and the average value of soft cap accounts for 2 million, 250 projects reach soft cap. These are rough calculations. I am saying that because it is possible even now to raise 1 million soft cap.

Everybody keeps on saying scam scam scam for all of these ICO's. 90% of them are crap, yes. BUT there is the 10% of them, like vector, who are absolutely not scams. They are good projects that will really help the crypto community grow and its not fair to call an ICO a scam until you have actually researched it and you are sure it is a scam.

Just my two satoshis...
Scam ico has affected upcoming good ico with huge potential majority of ico are scam to say the truth nonetheless there are still ico who are delivering what they promised to investors.

Well, how to say, of course, not every, well, a very large percentage of ISO is a scam, I think 60-65% percent, this is a lot, but what else can I do?

For many, this will be a very big disappointment, but in fact it seems to be true - many projects are no useless garbage to anyone. Only we can understand this after a long time.

in my opinion, don't be too bad think about ICOs, because I'm sure not all ICOs are scams, there are even some ICOs whose projects are running, for example like Steemit, FLIP, STORM so that it proves that not all ICOs are scam.

Such statements can only do frank alarmist. Or the one who does not know how to choose their own projects. I understand that in this market there is a very large number of newbies and people who know little. But this does not mean that all projects are bad.

Of course not. That's like saying, "all the cars are in an accident." That's the wrong conclusion.
You can't. It is necessary to give representative statistics.

Not all of the ICOs here is a scam, only yesterday the number of ICOs who scam experienced a significant increase because the team did not work well, so they made a failure on their project. A good ICO has several criteria that you must review before joining, to ensure the validity of the data they have.

I dont believe in saying that every ico is scam because there are some successful ico that I invest with so maybe there are some but not the overall ico.

yeah, we just need to choose it correctly to get the results that we want. i think also, indeed, there are still so many good projects, it's just that we have to be smart at looking for them among the scam ico projects.

it's a bit difficult to choose it, because there are so many projects that look good but that doesn't work well. and there is a project that looks bad but can develop well in the future.

How can every ICO be a scam? If an ICO does not become successful does not mean it is scam, it might be as a result of poor team work. It is always good to perform a study on the project before joining its ICO because not all ICOs are worth joining.

NO, not all ICO's is a scam. there's ICO who launched their project successfully and paid all the bounty hunters who participated on their project.

Not totally or not every ICOs are scams, there maybe some ICOs which are true to their projects but because of strong competition with other launched ICOs , maybe that certain ICO projects did not meet the targetted soft cap of the projects and turn out to losses to the project and can not continue or extend their promotional campaign and then no more, and this ICOs will turn out to be scam project at the end.

no, maybe this is the effect of the overall crypto market fall so that everything becomes too late between distribution and launching tokens, or the price is too low. 4 months I waited for the distribution of tokens but I still remained calm, because I believe that if the market goes up again, then ICO will also go up.

Because of the many pitfalls that exist in this crypto, you must be careful when choosing an ICO, not all ICOs here are scams. Investigation before deciding to join, the team has a huge influence on the course of the project. Choose a team that has a good level of performance that also has experience in the field. So that the ICO can run well and be able to achieve the goals that have been targeted.

from your explanation it has also been proven that not ALL ico is a scam, indeed since the deterioration of the crypto state, ico is a scam, but that does not mean that all ico are scams, there are still many ico that are interesting and good, it's just that we need to do research on ico I want to merge more closely, because now ico that seems good there is still the possibility of being a scary ico, and ico which seems less attractive even has the possibility of being a successful ico ..
