46% of last year's ICOs have failed already

[BruceJu]

Far more than 46%, I have seen an authoritative ICO project analysis post before. It points out that last year's ICO survival rate was only 5%! 90% are false ico! 5% is a real failed project!

This is not a good development in the cryptospace. The statistics is discouraging to investors but I feel is common for most start-ups to fail at the early stage even in the traditional business community. It is necessary for investors to be well acquainted with all the information about the ICO project there are supporting and measure the risk before getting in. Failure is a possibility as most ICOs are start-ups or even ideas.

Most of them are failed now, and what about this 2018 ico's ?? what should we do with their coins now? can anyone give us some tips whether to hold or sell coins from 2018 ico's , regarding our experiences with 2017 ico's

We investors and the industry is getting mature little by little. If there is good projects at the same time then we can keep our hopes alive for the future.

46% is very big, I can not imagine how the funds spent by investors if investing in ICO failed, but investors are also benefited by some ICO who continue to develop projects to date even have a high rate

Looks more like 95% from looking at threads on here.

• 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

Wow, going to sell all of my ICO coins, until now I lost a lot of money.
Hope this trend wont last long.

Why I feel that the proportion is still too low. I feel that many projects are basically the same. Nothing new. Is it just my feeling? The block chain is still a lack of innovation.

[ryanfromrethink]

Yes, there were many ICO failures. This is due to several key factors - first of all, short sales management, lack of sufficient financing and instability of BTC prices. Of course, a big role is played by the fact that after the collection of funds, the project team ceases to develop it. Therefore, I recommend that before joining the bounty, or investing, carefully study the meaning of the project and its team. In turn, I can recommend a strong project with a strong team - it Countinghouse. In my signature there are links to the project. Good luck friend.

Personally for me, this situation was quite expected. Now, almost every day different ICO projects are launched, as a result there are many options, and there is not enough investment for everyone.

[Doging]

Because most of them just wanted to make easy money, they did not have any product. Do not invest your money in such projects, carefully study them.

[RamBahadur.Gurung]

Too many ICOs without any solid purpose and far too less interest among the investors. Bad times have started for the ICOs. 2018 is going to be bad and 2019 will be even worse.

It seems to me that it is too early to talk about project failures. Most ICOs work on their planned plan, but they have not yet provided the finished product. Many projects plan to provide the finished product in a year or two.

I think investments in ICO implies a large number of risks because this area is not regulated. There are trade risks (a decrease in the price of tokens, a drop in the value of the cryptocurrency, etc.) and nontrade - fraud and scam.

[Zagor Tenay]

This is really too much, which means that most of the ICO project is just a scam, these projects have not any value for investment, however, if the project can survive, so they will be some very good ICO project.

[Zeke_23]

actually it is because there's a lot of ico that has been launch monthly, because of that, investors is being divided to many ico, some of them doesnt know where to invest, this will result of small number of contributor in the ico.

Ofcourse and now this regulation will to be working. In my vision it is a good and bad news for all traders, just look at Market.

[LankaJay]

Yes. It looks like most of the ICOs are scam now. What is the reason for that. That could be a real problem in the future. Also this is a very disappointing news for the investors. They will lose the trust about the ICOs.

[dailythemmo]

Just some, my potential projects still growing , let's wait Q4 this year and Q3 2019

[jtbcoins]

Yeah, that statistic is making me sad. But this means only one - we (investors) need to be more careful with our own investments than we were before.
