Will ICO die in 2018?

[roshanfious]

I think there needs to be stricter conditions on ICO's there are still lots of scam projects that are pretending to run tokensales and conning investors out of money.

Most experienced crypto investors can tell the difference but if crypto is going to continue growing we need to protect newcomers and help them learn about legit crypto projects, Im not saying every ICO is going to be a success but people shouldn't be able to make up companies out of thin air with no real product to offer.

It's true there needs to be more crypto self-regulation, I would like to see an inner crypto regulatory body made up of leading experts in crypto, bitcoin and blockchain, projects need to go through more checks before they try to raise funds in crowdsales.

We can't tell if the ico will die in 2018 because we can't predict anything. But as long as the ico is still here we must value it and work hard for it.

Yeah, this answer is actually belong to the future and only the time will tell .
But the ICOs market is actually going down for now. Less project is advertising and less of them are suceed. Most of them are just garbages not like 2017.

ICO causes more and more distrust - thanks to the scammers. At this point, companies that produce and sell tokens are more focused on the product. The product is being developed and improved. And all before the token sale.

The fact is: those companies that enter the token market with a readymade product are more trustworthy. Now, few people are interested in a company that launches ICO just to make a name and earn a lot of money.

ICO is a serious campaign. It requires great resources and professionalism.

There are many companies on this path. Recently, Pavel Durov announced the creation of a light wallet and the release of the Gram token on the Telegram platform. Here is another example - KickCity, a company that has existed for two years. KickCity is engaged in the development of the event industry and issues a KCY token for further expansion of the company.

It will not die instead it will grow more. As long as there are no regulation that will prevent them from creating new ICO, it will contue and more investors will get scam.

Ico will not die, and the development of block chain technology accelerates the development of ico!

Ico needs standardization and supervision! Let the money apply to the truly powerful ico project!

The purpose of regulation is to ban the ico projects that are defrauded by fake masks!

I hope the ICO craze will end soon.

I don't think cryptos should be mixed with startups/kickstarters. Cryptos should be trustless, transparent and decentralized, ICOs are none of those things so using a blockchain platform doesn't really offer any benefits to them, in fact just giving a bad name to cryptos.

But a lot of crypto-newbies gamble with them thinking they know what they're doing and that crypto is all about pumping and dumping random "projects". These people ignore, or not even aware what crypto stands for and just giving a bad name to it. And they will eventually get burned and hate cryptos altogether. Profits aren't made from nothing, it comes from other people's losses.

You have an excellent point right there. But I don't totally agree with you.  We cannot generalized the whole thing and would stir towards ending ICO out of the blue. The indiscretion of a few or may must not be stereotyped to all.
I will still support ICO projects despite a lot of going on with the scams.
There are many that have concrete programs and real world applications out there that just sit and waiting earnestly for support.

I think because of the hype we recently had, more people will do proper analysis now and only the good ICO projects will get funding

That would happen because as this market gets bigger, people will become more educated.
I pity those investors who were victims of scam, I hope they will not leave the crypto because there's bigger opportunity here, instead
they just have to be careful and learn from their mistakes.

ICOs have cropped up in large numbers in 2018 and some are still being developed, some might survive the year while some wont. an ICO with a good project plan and a value adding producyt will surely survive, but those with poor project plans will fade of and die. Not all will die, but some wll

[kivo2004]

I'm not sure if you're talking about ICOs or trying to promote your own brand here.

[abnoy]

in my opinion ICO will not die in 2018 because its a part of crypto world its not easy to take down or shut it down

[theinitialsd]

I not sure , but it will be regulated ASAP. ICO right now is only scamming and making rekt for some people. Best solution when new start up offering their coin it will be nice they joint venture with market exchange. #IMO

[dilandanmilea]

To be honest I would be more believe in ICO projects that already have products. if more ICO projects that do not have a product may be more people will not believe it. but I do not think ICO will end in 2018 instead will be more developers who will launch new coins.

well, for this year, I think ICO will keep on going, and I feel that a lot of ICO is very good for this year. well, ICO gives developers the freedom to build something useful, so I think it will always be there.

[honestinvestor]

I think not. ICO will live and develop.Of course, the requirements will be tightened and revised.

I do not agree with you, I can prove that the ICO of the crypto coins is already decentralized with blockchain, with it's many benefits to investors and bounty hunters like me

[Javelie]

No, ICO will stay alive in this year, but, there will be a lot of failed ICO without reached the cap, even their short cap. So , choose the best project and do a research before investing

[Bitcoin2018]

I see no reason why the ICO should die and not see the reasons why the ICO should survive. Interest in the ICO has certainly fallen, but still there are people ready to take risks. It's like gambling.

[SnapFX]

I agree with a topicstarter that the niche of ICO becomes more professional and weak players won't receive the piece of pie. So any industry develops)

[l0st]

I don't think that ICOs will die in 2018 but I think there will be much less ICOs than before.

[Snakerist]

I think ICOs are not bad things, but a new form of investing and capital attraction. It needs just more security.

[normensky012]

Possibly, as the concept of DAICO is born. The community has the control over their money if the project does not progress. Isn't it amazing, the team is more motivated to work to make the project progress. ICO will possibly die also dues to strict regulations that are going to be implemented soon.
