Will ICO die in 2018?

[wildflower18]

I sure hope not. I mean there are a lot of people that has been helped by joining ICO campaigns. That is why it is very important for us to have something to look forward to in terms of source of income. In addition, not only that ICOs reduce the unemployment rate, but the decrease of poverty as well because it helps people earn money.

Yes I think its not, though there are many ICO these days and the best thing that we could do is to search which is worthy and legit to invest. I agree it helps those in need people to earned by investing and to joined ico campaign. However, hope this year 2018 Ico's will not end yet to improve the service that make people benefits of.

I believe no. That will not happen because it is already accepted by the world and it makes profit to all community here.

I don't think so. ICOs will come to the market more than ever. But the real problem is the quality of them. People need to work hard to find the real good ICOs and invest on them.

I hope it at least gets regulated so people have a place to turn to when it turns out to be a scam.

I do not see a reason why ICO should die at the moment. But I'm agree for the part that it should be regulated. If everyone start organizing ICOs then there will a lot of mass and difficult to find a good project among that mess.

The scenario you described is already very similar to the one we have experienced in the second half of 2017. While it has been kind of like a minefield for investors there have still been many very successful ICOs and more and more now are engaging in stricter KYC etc which can only be a good thing in my opinion. Many will argue it goes against the nature of cryptos but it allows them to operate within the laws and better protect those investors who do invest legitimately.

More and more countries pass laws to exclude the scam ICO .
It means that the number of ICO will grow with each passing year. I think ICO is quite normal and logical crypto phenomenon.
I have several times invested in projects  successfully. But as the bounty hunter had wasted a lot of time because of fraud.
I want ICO will developed and regulated by laws!

We've finally reached 2018 and i don't see signs of ICO's stopping anytime soon. Crypto is a booming market, ICO in itself is not really scam, the problem is most ICO's are scams, so the legit ICO's suffer from the bad fame that the term ICO has gained due the amount of nonsensical tokens being released left and right.

Btw, just recently, Jon Matonis (the famous "Craig Wright is really satoshi" guy that went also to the big blocks camp) is now going to support an ICO..

So don't expect the trend to go down anytime soon because it's extremely lucrative for people with huge twitter followers to promote ICO's. Roger Ver is promoting ICO's pretty much all the time.

ICO will be surviving until no one ever invest on those ICO. Because ICO is our and developer way to earn money (helping our life if there is any with their creative ideas and team).  I think every time when new year came up, this thread is keep existing.

Some ICO may die because as we know the world of crypto is a world of strong war and survive will be the winner then not how good a project but how long a company still survive in industry of blockchain. what we do now is support every ico who has the potential and innovation capable of projects developed over the next few years

[lionheart89]

in my opinion no, ico will keep on coming up. at this time ico very complete and improve each otjer's program respectively. who have a good program will survive.

I think ICO market is over saturated! 2018 might bring some sought of regulation to ICO and the manner in which funds were been raised! There is increase call for regulation and I'm just thinking I will that help the the cryptocurrency adoption!

[CryptoAnnie]

I don't think so that ICO will die soon as many people has interest on it. ICO is good for both the investor as well as for the founder, if investors go for the big risk it will work out. There is up and down in ICO but it will not completely stopped.

[Alex_marik]

I think that they are going to be better in the year of 2018 because as you can see that the projects are getting better and better. ICO scammers will die not all ICO's.

[Cryptotina]

ICOs are good and NO it won't die this year, next year nor 2020.

who do you think should regulate the entire market ICO? and how do you imagine it!?

[placergold]

ICO is nothing but to cheat the money. With more regulations I hope these cheaters will go away.

[Euroda]

i think it is the reverse as of now their is a lot of good ICO today you should read a lot and do your research to exclude those scams and also i think if they regulated it i think they will be gone

[youheifule]

Certainly not, ICOs will never die, it is a new kind of IPO. People will be more interesting in it, but most icos will die after the test of market.

[Junypn]

ICOs won't die, but they will certainly evolve to adapt and fit the market better. Last year we saw a bunch of bizarre schemes and scams, hopefully we've learned our lesson as a community.
