99% of all ICOs do not carry any useful ideas, and if they are, they are initially unrealizable. Everyone beautifully describes how to do this, but as time goes by before the practical application of the idea, the difficulties begin and everything will end with the discharge of tokens on the exchange.

There were so many ICOs last year and some from last year still to be launched, it quickly became a trend to start an ICO and there were many scam ICOs about as it looks to be easy money for some.

I have invested in a few and 2 of those turned out to be useless and never took off, there are a couple that are still to launch this year which seem quite decent.

I am not surprised by the 46%.

It only means that more and more people are getting vigillant because people do a lot of reserching now because from the past there are  alot of scam projects who have stole a millions of dollars from the investors,that is why people have learned how to lessen the risk of joing these scam projects,greedy people will always find their way to scam people.

Great, well we can't control those scammers out there doing such bad things in order to have easy money without too much effort. I believe those 46% ICOs are most of them are not legit which they caught attention by many and since their platforms and features are not as good compare to legit one they decide to have a massive field. Hopefully most of all here in the forum should be attentive and observant to those scammers.

Not all the time, that a certain business would be successfully operated, we learn and accepts the facts that sometimes, there are some failures on a certain business. And that is  a nature of a business, failure and success, it depends of the management system on how the way they manage their business to become successful. Failure of business maybe comes on a wrong management system.

There is nothing new in these numbers and it is not even huge, usually new markets show bigger projects failing.

I had similar thoughts. If you look at the statistics of ordinary small businesses, then new firms suffer even more setbacks. The above statistics do look quite good for a completely new area of the economy. I think that this can even be called the success of the ICO.

It's true, there are more than half of the ICO that have not disappeared and launched their products and continue to implement plans according to the road map. Now a lot of projects are appearing, but if you approach ICO correctly for investment, your chances will increase. And those projects that are launched and made their investors x5-x10 will pay off your unsuccessful investments, so do not be afraid, do not panic, but carefully choose ICO before investing.

54% is a good enough result for this sphere of production at the initial stage of development. I even think that this is a very good result with the current "Wild West", which is happening in the market.

We can say still its not bad at all as many projects still hanging around and fighting for life but main thing is these ICO's devs need to do some hard work and give more solid projects for attraction as  peoples want some good return of investment and this can give if you have good unique idea for your project without this most probably chance these figures are going to increase

[Traderbtcc]

As people say this percentage is not so high
I think this report can help beginner investors to be more careful before investing in ICO

Let's hope so. Because noobs are going crazy over ICOs having been told of how a few ico vaporwares did 100x on exchanges. The end game isn't about the few returns but to see the platform succeed. If the platform turns out to be a success, investors would be part of those to be rewarded.

[bigdogdan2]

must screen the ico you invest in well.  many will fail, but just need to find the gem.

[Prosperityforall]

To be honest, even for bounty I can't find any worth participating ICO. Most of them looks foolish and there is a small chance to suceed in following year. I hope to find something worth participating and investing in, but unfortunately not yet

The killer application in this space is money. 99% of these coins do not need to exist and are essentially store credits for different dapps. These dapps should be using established cryptocurrencies that are trying to replace fiat currencies.

This mirrors life.  Most businesses will fail.  There are more here because some of the icos were flat out scams.  The others will happen from inability to execute.  That is why teams are #1 then #2 concept and #3 ability to execute/timeline

Yes a lot of ICO failed and a lot of token if they are in the market the price below ICO price its because of posible causes is the slow improvement of the project and the price of all depends on the price of bitcoin. All coins are affected during drop and rise of bitcoin. Another reason a lot of ICO after raise a big amount they abundant the project and run.

This information is already outdated.
The latest news looks even more frightening. 76% of this year’s ICOs are already under water

There are actually too many ICOs running currently. Most of which have almost the same or similar projects and this i think is the major reasons why most ICOs fail. Moreover, you buy tokens during ICO and the price fails drastically after it has be listed.

That could be the result especially when devs will never help their coins to grow and don't have a market strategy. Could still be more like that in the coming days due to bad market and investors will never engage into ICOs cause of having a large growing number of scam project which they are worried about.
