Why So Many ICOs — What Does It All Mean?

[Spoetnik]

ICO is not necessary a bad thing, but it enables easy money with scams.
But in a market with regular trading we can win and we can lost and we don't call that a scam.
It's not same, but it's not so different either.

Wrong NOOB.. it is a bad thing because it's CENTRALIZED.

and... and.. and .

PS:
Watch South Park noobs..

So many ICO's but not all are legit, some are scams.
Be cautious when investing in ICO's.

this ICO is something like a new train, which saws the taste of BTC and which tries to catch BTC train.

The *some retort.. my favorite  
Yup some scams are legit (because you can profit from them)

And to the other guy i say ideology and morality serve a purpose.
The idea is to not reward fraudsters.

You people are insufferable

ICOs have better support from the community than previous years. They are also a means to make money easier - from a scammers prospective.

I think everyone looks ten times at an ICO team and whitepaper before investing. Too many scams out there.

This means that many ICO's , there are many to invest with , and many to participating with. And many profit will be earned in the ICO's but depends on the ICO a person is joining in. There are many ICO's that are being launched in this past few months but most of them ends in failure or ends with scams. Many ICO's but few of them are legit to invest , it is in the persons choice what ICO that they wants to participate and invest.

The world of cryptocurrencies has exploded like never before in 2017. The price of Bitcoin has catapulted to over $7000 for the first time in its history. There has also been an increase in the number of initial coin offerings (ICOs). According to CoinDesk, since Jan 2017, ICOs went from roughly $300 million raised in total since they began in 2014, to $2.7 billion raised as of October.

Because there are several sucessful ICO's in the market and it makes it more exposed to the investors, putting large amount of money to pump its value. People see this as an opportunity to multiply their investments. And here comes those who wants to grab the opportunity, with the hopes to beat Bitcoin. A lot of ICO's are coming from anywhere, some of them are fake and scam And they are just nuisance and greedy people who wants to take huge volume of money from the crowd fundings.

Means alot of people are accepting the cryptocurrency platform as a means of raising fund for project and alot are dumping the regular IPO platform

[tricialugtu]

I think because we are heading to the another level of technology. Technology is continuously evolving.
The demand of the crypto currencies are already known all over the world.
We just need to go with the flow and adopt. But we should always be cautious to fake/scam coins and learn and observe more on all these digital currencies.

There is no such thing as a successful ICO.
Unless you mean the scheme drew in plenty of people with cash in hand.
Which is a silly bullshit way to measure "success".
Unless of course you ignore what the thing is and view it as a money making scheme.. like a ponzi / pyramid variant.

Reminds me of the BlockNET kids who said they needed a million dollars in Bitcoin "To ensure it's a success"

[webmone]

Wow it does mean only one thing — smart people understand that it is extremely difficult to work on the cryptomarket if you are alone. They join into the groups and find out the ways to earn more.

It means that whoever is running these ICOs has gotten extremely greedy in 2017. If you were trying to raise 10 million last year it would been good luck with that but now 10 million is a dirty sock on the roadside. As long

as the valuations get tame and are more reasonable then ICOs should exist but being this greedy is pure trash. For this reason I currently dislike ICOs a lot.

What are you talking about ? ICOs is not greedy lmfao. ICO is the easiest way to get investor on your project, that's why there are many project that using ICO to get easy fresh cash/investor. I can say 2017 is the big year for ICOs, there are many projects and ICOs in this year.

Not surr what this post is about. But we are starting to see a bare market for ico now. Seems to be a cash grab for alot of these ico projects. I think people are starting to realize this, after the fomo effect.
So alot of people has lost coins or in the negative and some folks had made or will be making alot from the icos theyve invested in.
Theres a few projects out there thats very promising.
Me, i hate icos. Causes my eth to drop in price lol.

OPs asking about why lots of ICO going now.for me personally its all about easy money,as we see lots of complaints now regarding those new releases ico about scamming.the coins just left no value for long.maybe we should be aware of those many scammer they have no care about others but only for them selfs

Yeah, compared to Kickstarter and crowd funding projects, the amount of ICO's isn't particularly excessive.
Simply a simply way for crypto enthusiasts like all of us here to contribute and get involved easily.
Just like crowdfunding though, make sure you like the company you are supporting, and believe in it.

[laracastvue]

It means that there are so many new business that is running today and they are all interested in earning bitcoins. Ico's are really nice if they continue to support their platform and become successful in the end of the day.

Noob, wondered why "coins" are banned on all major platforms such as Kickstarter ?

For example if you use crypto shit with Paypal or eBay you will have your account locked and funds seized.
It's against their TOS.. has been for at least 5+ years.

When you are done reading my comment head over to the "Buying Paypal / Bitcoin" section on this scam web site. 

[deloreswest]

it means many people are realized that ico is a promising field to fund the money t doing business and many people are starting to believe on cryptocurrency
