ICOs in 2018 not same as 2017.

[otunayode]

Well, things are changing now. 2017 ICO were attractive  and profitable because of Bitcoin atomic  rise in price. Almost all ICO in 2017 benefited directly and indirectly from bitcoin price. 2018 will not be any different.

On some coins, the price flies up several times, then falls to the price of the sale of ICO and in a few months exceeds the surge after the release of coins to the market.

In 2017, most of the icos were profitable, and now even the best do not collect hard cap. This is also due to the regulation of this sphere. In addition, there are many who want to make money on icos, it is also difficult to choose.

The ICO i added on this post they have

1) Decentralized in prototype (launching june 1 2018)
2) open Source multi layer Blockchain built from the ground in Prototype (Launching in June 1 2018)
3) An incubator (Launched May 1 2018) Currently used to sell their XSO coins in bare bones
4) Wallets and payment solutions (Their wallets are erc-20 compatible besides their own Coins)


And they are no where close to selling out. They did not market well and will not give out free coins so i think it is a good Project to throw a few in.

I am going big on this and crossing my finders this is another EOS

For real, last year half of them were scam, and now 8 out of 10. That undermines the trust and whole notion of ICOs. The mechanism really has to evolve, or be regulated somehow, or ICOs will be a thing of the past very soon

I would be very honest with you about my opinion here. ICOs nowadays are not as promising as they used to in past when the digital market was still too young and too weak and the number of available options was also a limited one but now the market is full of variations and besides, there is a big threat of being scammed too. Moreover, these can never bring real profits anyway.

If 2017 was the year of the ICO, 2018 will be the year of the great ICO hangover. It will also be the year major financial institutions adopt digital assets, and mark the birth of hybrid blockchains.

Most of them are not successful unlike 2017 there are so many investor came to invest ICO but for now most of ICO are not reach they goal to sold their ICO token. Because of many ICO are scam and i believe bitcoin or ethereum are not the reason why ICO are falling.

[otunayode]

Change is the only constant thing in any market. ICO investing is still in it's early days and we can expect to see many changes as we go along and make happen this wonderful new way of raising much needed fund for projects.

[cheezcarls]

To be honest, I do agree on one thing when it comes to ICOs. Most of them would fall below the ICO price when it hits the exchanges. It is something that non-investors are waiting to buy on the exchanges instead of the ICOs.

On the other hand, matured investors do not think of short-term results even if they expect that the prices would go down for sure when it hits the market. One of the reasons why it would go down below the ICO price is because of the bounty hunters who continuously dump their tokens in the exchanges by creating sell orders.

However, there are some of them who have increased their prices after entering exchanges too. It is easy to raise funds with ICOs than the traditional crowdfunding platforms. Just my two satoshis.

Indeed, we have to embrace the changes and we need to adjust by following the news so we can make timely actions.
As believer in crypto, we always believe as it continue to exist it will also grow and what we have seen now is that the ICOs are increasing
and the marketcap are constantly increasing as well, eventually we will break the ATH this year, there's plenty of time.

[otundebis]

Not at all.  People are not as enthusiastic as they were in 2017. 2018 started with bear market that lasted for almost four months and this market condition slow down investment in to ICO.

[MiukoOk]

Perhaps in 2018 ICO makers no longer focus on the project's objectives, they just want to raise capital so much, the project still has many shortcomings but they still want to raise funds to develop them. As the ICO has not officially intervened, the opening of the ICO is rampant in the market.

[mriansa]

yes of course ICO from year to year always give offer of products and technology they use from year to year is always different, nothing is same because if ICO same then will not sell because there is already product that created.

[WellDogeo]

I see that ICO projects seem to be taking longer to sell, the current market is quite sensitive, so it seems that the project developers want to prolong the time.

[victoria444]

Also note ICOs that will burn there coins for example this below

This year more ico projects have been getting developed, but very few grew high profiting the investors. Last year the scenario was different, most of the ICO projects succeeded along with the price pumping of bitcoin and Ethereum. Hope, by the falling months the ICO projects will begin to pump higher.

[dekcutbusu33]

It's because the participants bounty that the price is falling because there are a lot of people working in the right programs to promote ico and then when tokens or coins are launched on the exchange, people throw them away to get BTC instead. You may not have the same fate but one thing is certain that Bitcoin will actually increase its value so you do not worry, what you are most concerned about are people who do not see Bitcoin as an opportunity for themselves. Surely they will regret again in the future.

Most of the ico now are extending their run until the 3rd quarter of this year as they're more confident that 3rd quarter will be good to them.

Though seeing and experiencing the history, ICO in 2017 are got more successful than now and the fact that most of the ICO now are scam. So we can't blame the investors if they'll just wait the coin to gets listed or be doubtful in everything.

[trako]

price drops are normal. because ICO is only a step in the sale and after-sales project.
many ICO road maps already indicate this. but there is a side that is right.

In 2017 there was a more active market. many ICOs are affected by the market. The success rate in 2017 is 47%.
BitCoin caught a good start in 2017. The decline came at the end of the year. but the market was moving. now the market is not very mobile. and very little ico hardcap. generally collected investments are low. which delays the passing of the project. and now ico is very successful.

But in general crypto If the market moves, it will be reflected in everything positively. Another factor is that the existing requirements in the integrated system have diminished. if bitcoin payment starts to be used in everyday life then it will be a lot more different ico and the market will be moved for a short time.
