Why do ICO choose Ethereum? is there an alternative to Ethereum ICOs could use?

Why do ICO choose Ethereum?

because it is the most hyped platform and because of that there are services like myetherwallet for example that made it easy for people to have an ethereum web wallet despite having a real desktop wallet being near impossible because of the bloated blockchain. and that makes it easier for anyone to join these ICOs.

is there an alternative to Ethereum ICOs could use?

there are lots of them!
- Waves,
- LSK,
- NEO,
- ARK,
- Ardor,
- Bitshares,
- Counterparty (XCP),
- Ethereum Classic (ETC),
- Expanse (EXP),
- NEM,
- NXT (NXT),
- Stratis (STRAT),
- Tezos

and finally Rootstock (RSK) which works on top of bitcoin

Yeah, there are many platforms for ICO conducting, but ethereum is still the most popular and convenient for developers IMO. Recently buterin made some kind of statement where he said about burning of ETH tokens via increasing fees for ERC20 projects. It can be very harmful for ethereum so others platforms would be much more attractive. Only time will show.

Currentle the most popular ones I have seen are ethereum, nxt and waves. Why they choose ethereum? It is clear as day, ethereum is the most popular one. Investors show love for eth tokens. Its smart contracts tech is better than all others. And it is probably the oldest one.

There are many alternatives, some of them are Ethereum Classic, Waves, Neo and NXT. These are the most popular alternatives. But ofcourse Ethereum is still the most popular of all. Even after being compromised the other day, it still stable!

it is most popular because they advertise it nonstop. and with the manipulation of market cap ETH stays on number 2 rank.
but it is not at all most convenient way for developers specially because of the programming language it uses. and all the bugs that it has. and each time millions of dollars worth of tokens are lost because of these bugs.

Recently buterin made some kind of statement where he said about burning of ETH tokens via increasing fees for ERC20 projects. It can be very harmful for ethereum so others platforms would be much more attractive. Only time will show.

it was because of the huge ETH supply and the fact that ETH has no cap.
they are trying to mitigate the supply part of the supply and demand rule so that maybe they can keep the price up by reducing the sell pressure.
