If ICO Fails, Then what happen next?

[karagun125]

I think there would always be a refund for the investors if the ico failed and never reached the soft cap. However in the part of the bounty participants they are not paid for their work since the project fails and not meeting its soft cap. So investors should be aware that they should always join and invest in a project that has the capability of making to success or just to meet the soft cap of their project.

There are two kinds of ICO from my point of view, the first one which has something called as soft cap and a hard cap, and the second with none of these (soft cap and hard cap). It's always best to go with the first one because if you invested in their project and they didn't raise enough money to reach the soft cap, your money will be refunded. The second one, however, is mostly a scam ICO with only one intention: to take your money away as much as they could. They will usually hire a well-known bitcointalk user with a high rank like legendary or senior member and has a too-good-to-be-true promises/benefit if you invested in their project.

To my experience in investing in my invested currency last year that seems not reach their target success after a week's they return my invested money. And I don't think they won't give it back to you unless they are a scammers too they may not really give it back because they also wanted to earn even it's not a good idea.

Automatically if ico fails bounty hunters  not be payed and investors will refund their investment but some times they can't get the amount they invest, as usual some will say that ICO'S are scam if ico fails.

Thats the language of crypto currency community because the team involve in ICOs project have to fulfill the promises made during the time of ICOs period because crypto are based on truth/honesty. But, if ICOs continue to fail then the community snd the crypto investment will totally switch to STOs.

In the past, projects actually returned money as you said when the project's goal was not completed or failed but at the present time, almost all projects only know that taking other people's money then disappear quickly when the project fails and lacks capital. No intention of scam in the initial moment will also become scammers because everyone recognizes the benefits and values that crypto can achieve in the future, this scam can help them get rich quickly in the future, there is no reason for them to reject this gift, and we are very unfortunate when we become victims.

When ICO fails, there are two options for the developer, its either to stop the project permanently or make improvements on the projects and then continue the ICO afterwards. Usually projects with unrealistic goals fails.

There are many ICO is running at the same time. Maximum ICO can't be success. So, if I invest in any ICO and if they can't be success then what will happen with my money? Will they give me back me my money or not? I am so confused. So, please kindly inform me.

Thank You Everyone.

Every project has a roadmap and soft cap if they didn't reach soft cap they return their money investor but maximum its does not happen. We see many frauds and scam ico never return money their investor if they fail to the soft cap.So when invest ico first get information about team member and their related other project and roadmap  

I think we should investigate carefully, now before we want to invest in ICO. I will see if investment funds invest in that project first. Help limit if ICO does not achieve soft-cap

Bounty participants will not be paid, and investors will not get a profit, they may even lose because they did not get their capital back when they invested in the beginning of Ico.

This's what happen recently if ICO's failed

- Buy Back Program (but if 100% failed they do not this)
- Refund Program (If the project is developed by real peoples and honest with the project they will do this)
- RUNAWAY (This's what will happen if you investing without learning the project that u will invest. MOSTLY the "developer runaway->create new project")

[Godday]

from my current experience. if there is an ICO that does not reach the softcap, sometimes our money that we have invested will return. but that all also requires a process.

[aji567]

I have experienced this, I followed the bounty but the ICO that was running did not run smoothly. but investors asked for their money back, eventually the team returned the investor's money.

[zarintasnim]

If you invest Legit ICO and their ICO did not get success they can extend their ICO to collect fund. Otherwise they back your money. If you invest your money on scam ICO they take your money with you.

[kingpin4321]

Well initial coin offering is not falling any time soon. I actually don't engage myself in initial coin offering.
But I would be nice to see an alternative and security token offering would be the best alternative

Honest developers usually return money to investors in case the project does not collect Soft Cap. However, not all projects are made by honest people, so there is no 100% guarantee of your money back.

[erikoy]

In this case, you lose your investment. Just tokens will be worthless and the money will go nowhere. So you need to be more careful and careful and do not invest

Yes, but good team doea not fail an ICO if they truly had goals objective and the way how they want to achieve the target. But, usually team handling project are only after the money of the investors. This is why many ICO faiked or after it listed in an exchange it will be dead. No demand tokens will be useless and investors will be wasting their money.

[cryptolord2077]

If the PPI fails, then the best thing that can happen after that is the return of funds by the investor and the reformatting of the project plan. I am sorry for those projects that failed and did not try again.

[Dellosoft]

If ICO fails then STO, IEO, IAO takes over. Many people are more interested in security token offerings, initial exchange offerings because they have lower risk of being scam. So if ICO ever goes extinct, these new crowdfunding methods will take over. This is just my opinion. Thanks.

[sell my ac_________nt]

You probably will not get your money back. At the moment very few projects raise funds: and the remaining 99% are scammers. I wish you good luck and don't recommend investing in ICOs.

[Mysteryla]

Most scam ICOs these days find it hard to reach softcap. Although, that an ICO does not reach softcap, does not directly translate or mean that is scam.
Then some of them also lie about their softcap in order to attract more funds.
Most times, projects like this do not return investors money even if the fail, but they most times will not revealed they failed.
