Will ICO die in 2018?

You will be asking this questions in 2023 as well, believe me. ICO is a good strategy and it has good investment opportunities. It will continue spreading. There might be some government issues, of course, but similar situations happened at past. All issues are solved.

I like your way of thoughts and I think so too. It's just another level of fundraising. I guess there will be governments' attempts to stop ICOs, but they won't be able to do that. The new economy is coming.

I agree with you. even lately, many ico are advertising on social media like facebook, youtube, and some sites on the internet. ico is getting popular today. You are right if ico is a good investment prospect, and it is unlikely to disappear in 2018. It will even continue to exist, as long as bitcoin or altcoin still exists.

I suppose that ICOs in 2018 will move to a new level. The amount of project will be reduced, but the quality should be improved for sure. Moreover I guess that in 2018 ETH will share the place of the top ICO platform with NEM, NEO and other projects.

I hope this will be the case and not totally dying off. I mean, as bad as ICOs are imaged and known to many bitcoin users and traders, like it being a scam or a scheme used by some people to take advantage of other or steal useful data, I still think that there is still good in it because many starters and newbies use it as a means to earn token and coins. Not everyone, especially those who are just starting can support or have the capital to trade or invest without having a jump start to even have an asset to invest or trade, and that's where ICOs come in.

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.

The ICO will continue. Because people are greedy. Also, Ethereum may have a lot to do with ICO, but other coins like Waves have not even begun to do ICO. ICO madness will continue to increase.

ICO will not disappear until they are in demand. Now and so the trend is improving. Many fraudster ICO does not collect half of the money. If people do not invest their money anywhere, then ICO will become smaller. Now there is a high demand, so there is a high offer. Starting from the ICO for planting trees, before selling the fish at the current plant. I agree that with the crypto world, it's not really connected at all.

This is an issue that I have been thinking about, but ICO will not die in 2018, ICO has become an investment fever, many projects have grown through ICO, therefore we should not believe, in its extinction.

ICo will not die... but it would be nice if there was some quality control mechanism by third party. now that would be awesome, practical and profitable for everyone. if more people did things right when making an ICO it would decrease the number of ICOS in general but it would increase number of good-quality ICOs.

[abderrazak belkhir]

In 2018 we will see a new type of ico's myabe but ico's will not die in 2018

[Dobrodav]

I like many ICO so I think good ICO still alive in 2018. people will be smart than now then no more land for scam ICO, lending ICO...

[SenseiSan]

i think it will not but come more and more populiar and more good projects will come soon as crypto more and more come to our life and more users join this .

ICO will not die in 2018 but will continue to flourish.  ICO's is a healthy competition for all alternative coins.  Just like IPO (Initial Public Offering) in the stock exchange, ICO's has a strong growth potential that must be regulated to address the problems that are encountered.  As quoted below:

Bitcoin friendly Philippines according to Bloomberg, the central bank chief directly pointed to the “strong growth potential in the space” acknowledged by local companies looking to ‘facilitate ICOs’ as trading platforms to ‘act as a central counterparty for trade in the related tokens’. The central bank is in discussions with Philippines’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to plan strategies to oversee ICOs, Espenilla further revealed. SEC commissioner Ephyro Amatong confirmed the authority is “concerned about possible unlicensed investment-taking activity or otherwise selling of investment contracts in the guide of so-called cryptocurrencies via a so-caleld initial coin offering.”

No, maybe in 2018 Investors must be choose wisely ICO that have solid motivation to give best value in a product.

I read somewhere in this forum a "study report" says the following :
ICO number will be extremely reduced ( concluding from one side , that 2017 was the golden age of these projects , and from a second side , it's considerably hard to reach the same  expansion achieved in 2017 )
Instead of ICOs, 2018 will be the year of forks ( around 1k forks are waiting to be lighten next year )

[cryrpt777]

I think they will go much beyond than 2017. We can see many real world business getting funded by ICO.

[petern66]

I think ico is a good way to raise money for a project. Risky? Yes, as crypto also has risk in itself. Still, if you gain experience, talk to specialist friend, you can have good chance. It will not die. Not in 2018.

[gallery2000]

My guess is that the ICO in 2018 will move to a new level. The volume of projects will be increased. Moreover, I suppose that in 2018 BNT Strat Neo will launch their ICO

[johstacy]

Yes there are a lot of garbage ICO. But disappear completely, no, I do not think so. Ideas are born, projects are being created, of course there will be new ICOs. In order for the scammers to disappear, people themselves should not give them money. Do not invest in suspicious projects, if you doubt even 1%, do not invest. If there will be a regulation and control over ICO, then there will be fewer scammers, too.

yes it may but we all know that government can stop what they wanted to stop but as long as this may not harm there is no reason to stop it yes there is  a lot of scammers but it may prevented for just be careful and always do some research.

I do not believe ICOS will totally die as there are many people who do not mine or are programmers to create coins and new technology. Without investors, the altcoin and Bitcoin markets would be dead, so we need investment and different places to invest so the capital can flow to and from the cryptocurrency markets. I do believe though that ICOS may be more heavily regulated from country to country and some places like the U.S and China who banned ICOS are making it very hard for their citizens to enter this investment class.

we can only watch and wait what will happen in the next year because the government will apply some regulations for the ico so the ico cannot scam people. besides that, if the ico is really serious about the project, I think the dev and the team will obey the government and will cooperate with the government. I guess the ico will increase one new level in the next year.
