Why ICOs will fail in 2018

[anana ris]

Maybe we can see 2018 will be the nicest year of ICO. Hope ICO Project that established can works properly so Investors dont get bored with Scam or Failed Project

Most new ideas fail regardless of how they're funded. Some salient points about the specifics of the ICO, but you can find similar problems with other funding models. The points hold true though, entry with potential 100x undoubtedly carries the risk of losing it all.

In a rapidly developing field like cryptocurrency, it's getting to the point of saturation where you need a really solid ICO to be truly successful. Once you have a solid idea, I'd even go so far as to say you need a little luck as well.

It will not fail but the value of the token will decrease as we see bitcoin's value decreases. We will see the value of token's value go lower as bitcoin goes down as it was based on bitcoin when participating in ICO's unless if they only accept USD but I never heared of ICO that only accepts USD as their payment.

I came across this article

And wanted to know if you agree -- are these the reasons why ICOs will fail in 2018?
What type of PR strategies do you look for in an ICO? What types of things create the most buzz? What things are old news?

Thoughts?

yes because of the overbought all time high last year, most of the investors are tired of buying and the most of the icos fail because investors are likely to get the proper timing of buying specialy in this ghost month, but i hope that in the end of 2018 the market will retrace and gives us 2019 a good year to start.

I don't agree with this article. There are new blockchain and teams have more options for their ICO in future! IPO is LIVE and ICO too. Just we need to invest in potential project, not SCAM.
At the moment my favourite project is Organicco - project for green-technology. I think it is the best ICO in 2018 when they have solution, company and partners.

Yes, now it's time to talk about why the year 2018 started so badly. We all understand that our beloved bitcoin can not always rise in price and those people who bought bitcoins for $ 2000 have already made themselves serious money.

For sure there gonna be some ICO's that are gonna fail but not all of them . Stop spreading negativity please.

Now during the first half of the year we see an increase in the number of ICO projects. Of course, it became much more difficult for them to work in the conditions of the general fall of the crypto-currency market. However, I see that some ICOs collect the necessary amount quite quickly, while others are forced to extend the ICO. In general, ICO projects are still in high demand and I hope that this will continue.

There is a "golden investment rule", that force you to diversify your risks. Most likely, if you invest in different 10 projects, only 1-3 of them will give a good profit. If you agree with this reality you can continue to invest in ICOs.

ICOs will fail in 2018 because:
1. Idea
The idea of ​​XferMoney is a good idea, but not new and not unique enough. This idea is not overwhelming, and the solution proposed by XferMoney is not new. XferMoney only stops people connecting with foreign exchange counterparts, allowing them to conduct peer-to-peer transactions with the help of Blockchain technology in place of the traditional third-party bank or financial institutions. In other words, XferMoney aims to become a blockchain broker with significant savings over transaction costs through banks. Such a solution does not have many breakthroughs, and many potential ICOs are targeting the Forex market, or are intended to be a currency integrated debit card like what XferMoney plans to do.
2. Some other XferMoney project issues
- First, XferMoney's Whitepaper copied quite a bit from the Forex Market concept on Wikipedia without citing sources.
- Second, in terms of technology, the technology content of the XferMoney project is not really high. Whitepaper does not mention how the platform will apply blockchain technology, but simply says that blockchain technology will ensure the security and transparency of the transaction.
- Thirdly, in terms of development team, XferMoney is led by a strong team in Finance and Technology.

There are a large number of reasons why the ICOs are failing in 2018. Some of them are:

1. The market is in a very depressed state
2. Many of the ICOs are keeping their soft-cap and hard-cap at unreasonable levels
3. Too many copycat projects
4. Presence of conmen and criminals
5. Government regulations

[Dayattaufik]

if I think ico for the year 2018 is not a failure but dropped dramatically in appeal last year in cause because many of its new ico popping up when ico ico that many have not entered the market.

[baus]

They are not going to fall, but i am more than sure in that there are a lot of icos that are not going to succed, well, it happened to some icos on the past during the last few months, but it is something normal because there is not too much awareness at the moment

There are too many and they keep growing.
I read an article and it said there were about 250 ICOs so far in 2018, which could be estimated as more than 1 ICO came out a day 
People keep talking about new ICOs everyday that I dont know they exist.
Also it is not anything rare that an ICO fails. Last year 2017 ~50% of ICOs failed. 50% is A LOT.

[iqlimasyadiqa]

Currently most ICO are less developed because of the existence of regulations and also the level of trust that declined from the public.
This is because at this time Lots of ICO projects that failed and in 2018 is a lot of events like that.

I admit I am now quite worried about investing in an ICO project, it needs a very good analysis to be able to get the ICO that ended successfully. A very interesting thing about an ICO is when we try to invest then we will get a chance to achieve big profits. So this is worth a try and we should try to make the best decision.

[GDragon]

Because there were too much of them in 2017. Good projects are already made, junk only left (except some, but they are rare). So, there are less chances to get even a soft cup. Thus ICOs will be less popular in 2018.

Yes I agree, as I observed there so many ICO had the same projects so being unique of an ICO can help the project to achieve success. Let's see what happen this 2018.

[iamsediii]

Because some of the country government & organization like facebook are banning the ICO. Government they are banning ICO and some of the country has now regulated. Hope you understand.

[aenin2764]

I think it will not fail, ICO there is no failure, it will only be more standardized. You can see that ICOs like bankex and GTO are getting more and more standardized and even passed the U.S. censorship.

[spaso_87]

no more than 15% are successful projects

I do not know if ICO will fail in 2018 that will come and so now many people are turning to invest in Crypto because in ICO project that I know how much fraud, therefore, I also do not know why ICO will fail in 2018 later

[ToyotaFortuner]

it seems ico will fall in the year 2018 because there is no new idea anymore and for now there is no interesting ico or ico who have the concept and the development plan extraordinary and produce outstanding technology. hopefully there is still a tremendous ico.
