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 only problem with ico's are some of the developers who are not paying the correct amount of altcoins to their participants and because of that, it is affecting the other image of icos who are just starting to promote their coin and wants to earn investors.

ICO will not die , though some countries have banned ico to their people , most of countries have not done like this.
That means most of countries are not against this kind of money raising.

Scammers.... They ruin the ICO. Yesterday I read article and according that 10% of ICO investment stolen by scammers. I think we need better mechanism to identify real from scammers.

ICO will not end or die this year or after and this is the reason why almost ICO owner are taking full measure by implement the KYC/AML so that the government can support their. However, Belarus have legalized everything related to crypto currency.

As I see it, ICO will not die this year. However, as we can see, more and more countries start to think about forbidding these projects: most of ICO turn to be bubbles and investors lose money. I think a new scheme of regulating it can appear.

I think that a significant part of the ICOs will die in 2018 because they will not withstand the competition of other cryptocurrencies. However, those ICOs which are left will be actually succeed.

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.

Nope and never will be, this year will be huge for upcoming ICOs. More and more ICOs are opening everyday but those with a lot of potential, good future, good projects and have a great team will huge this year. 2018 is will be the year of ICO.

[ternyabin]

I think that in 2018 we will see a huge number of new ICO. Perhaps there will be mechanisms that will make participation in ICO more protected from scammers.

[abayan]

In this age of technology, I don't think ICO will die in the soonest. What I mean is that, as the year adds another count, that also means that another advancement in technology will be witnessed by the the world. Therefore, ICO will be more powerful than what it was last 2017. We have to admit that people are now being conquered by the internet and so, the use of ICOs are highly established and are being used by more and more people. For me, ICO will not just stay alive but shall be imparted in the everyday transaction of people especially those are looking for best investments nowadays.

[Endorphinity]

No, ICO will not die this year. But it seems to me that there will be some body of control over these projects. They became very numerous and many of them are scammers.

[dvabit]

I wish this would't happen, lots of people make money from ICO and yes it's true some ICO's was scam and not all.

[mysterecryptoooo]

Ico wont die, indeed there are a bunch of ICO s lately and some of them are scam but the legit ones, the ones with a real team, a real project they are gonna live on. Maybe there will be a system thats gonna help regulating it

[prp101]

Well I doubt that ICO's will die, they earn money to the founders of ICO + investors mostly in worst case scenario double their money.
So it's in no ones interest for ICO's to die, but probabbly new concept that Vitalik introduced will be applied DAICO.
But time will tell.

[uzurik]

I think no! Because this is not only a good way to earn, but also an opportunity to realize your project! Despite the large number of scammers!

[valeru.aver]

I think that as long as there is investment in the crypto currency, they will exist. At the end of 2017 the number of ICO increased, in 2018 their number will grow, although some fraudulent projects.

[rejosh]

I think 2018 will be big for ICOS unless some stupid countries bring restrictions over it.

[Olatunjex]

I don't think it will die in 2018 with look of things, many ico have started this year and they have succeeded in doing that, they have had a big and huge contribution and successful one.

ICO will probably survive and become even more matured and regulated. I would say ICO is the killer app of the blockchain right now. The old world's model, IPO, suffers multiple problems including high cost, high barrier, time-consuming, etc. ICO, on the other hand, provides anyone in this world a chance to fund his or her project in a low-cost, fast and easy way, which is super amazing, so to speak.

[ckorbba]

I don't think it will die in 2018 with look of things, many ico have started this year and they have succeeded in doing that, they have had a big and huge contribution and successful one.

and yet ico will soon cease, as the crypto currency will enter all spheres of human activity and on this all their Voyage will cease. Therefore, 2018 may be the peak for the number of projects.

[lolchina]

Dont think it will happen as long there is greed and icos that are paying of nicely to their initial investors,we might see smaller number of them as that area gets regulated and there are less scam projects but not total shutdown
