46% of last year's ICOs have failed already

[Alisha FR]

ICO failures are adopted by several factors, first, short management of quality sales; secondly, the lack of good Funding to goal an ICO; third, token / coin movements that tend to decline during sales and fourth, unstable bitcoin prices as a benchmark of some ICO.

I just do not understand why there are so many new projects. They just do not make any sense, they copy the existing projects.

• 46% of them are effectively dead already – despite raising over $104 million.
• 902 crowdsales... 142 failed at the funding stage and a further 276 have since failed

2017 is consider the golden year of ICO but despite of this 46% of them failed to deliver their promises. I think bulk of this failures is because lack of vision of the project. They are only good at paper but delivering what they stated in the whitepaper are not seen in the end results.

   I use ICO Vireo and I am very pleased. I recommend this project if you want to cooperate with a reliable and proven ICO.

This is a good result. Many projects have survived and I am very happy about it. ICO industry is becoming very strong and of high quality.

It's obvious. Investors themselves are to blame for this. Some projects even look like a scam. However, there are many people who are ready to invest money. You can always face scam. But with a deeper analysis of the project, the probability decreases strongly

ICO is like playing gambling. We can not win 100% with ICO. If we are lucky, we can make a profit from ICO projects. but most people lose

[Faruque312]

Unfortunately yes. I have 4 coins bought on different ICOs last year. For each was spent 1 Ethereum, totaling 4 Eth. Now they all four together cost almost 1 Ether. But others were quite successful, even after I sold some, they continued to grow.

lol, its really sad for you, when you hold a coin, it can go down everyday, when you sold then this coin is going high. i think no need to get 2* profit. just sold it.

[ahmad21]

Yes, and that was pretty expected. Nowadays many ICOs are launched everyday with the result that there are so many projects in the market. Many of them are fraud projects formed just to scams people. May of them have no idea behind their project, just want to raise money. Actually it has become so easy to start an ICO that even you can also launch it. This is the main reason that why many ICOs are failing.

[amirsambudi]

I see them or most of those who started ico just making the most of profit, I doubt they seriously have any desire to develop and contribute fully to this

[poliy1219]

I think this year's ICO failure rate will continue to increase, many projects do not have specific business, just by virtue of a concept began to raise funds. And some projects ICO will get a lot of money. Many teams have no incentive to push the project after they get the money, which is very bad.

[jaksdhnz8288]

What is undeniable is that most of the ICO project this year next year will die, because they have no value, the significance of their existence is to encircle money only, appear too many too many fraud project.

[JaredStein]

Not surprised at this number. If I'm being honest, I must say that I was expecting a higher number than this of the coins that have failed from last year. This means that over 50% are still active and going strong which is a good thing. The new projects and coins end up failing so fast because they really do not offer anything to their investors besides holding a coin and no other uses.

[camillesalazar00]

Not sure how they get these stats? 95% don't reach hardcap so most of those would count as a failure.

But some of them can still continue if they did not reach their hardcap as what is important is the softcap.

[frillyblockG]

The market has gone down a lot in the past few months hence you are thinking like that.

[Nicolas Bebek]

a sufficient condition of concern. Is this a bad omen for crypto? I am a little concerned. This of course would have much influence on the various aspects in crypto. Especially will be directly impacted the market. I look forward to hopefully, ICO project soon can bounce back, and many successful projects.

[eert]

In fact, 90% of ico's listed prices are lower than the cost price this year. Most of the projects are scams, and I think this trend will continue, and I call on investors to look closely and invest calmly.

I feel sorry for those who invest in ICO last year and lost today. I hope they can recover this year on other altcoin. It is a lesson learned from new investors in cryptocurrency that they should  research and carefully pick a potential ICO that could grow like Ethereum and other successful ICO.
