ICOs in 2018 not same as 2017.

[Lolox]

True, the life of crypto from 2017 to 2018 is much different. The changes that have been experienced are very far away, ranging from community development, ICO developments, the development of ICO values, as well as the development of the scam ICO. The more new ICOs emerging, the greater the risk of scam ICOs. The results obtained from ICO was not as big as before. Because in 2017 competitors competing for tokens from ICO is not as big now. So the results obtained from ICO is also greater.

[AnnaGeraMsk]

I'm also analyzing coins that just went to the stock exchange and they have a real product and prospective, but in the price they fall and are lowered

[princeyeboah]

ICOs in 2017 were quite smooth as compared to 2018, yeah, that is the point. This is because of the governmental regulations on ICOs took effect this year, 2018, and this caused a lot of panic in the system. Lot of investors back off - the reason for the bear market early this year. However, most ICOs are adopting to the system and gaining their grounds again.

I agree it had a point, last year 2017 most of the ICO are really profitable and legit but this year most of the ICO's  are scams.
It's definitely different ICO's in 2018 than 2017 the ICO, value and community development.

Most of the profit happened in the 2nd half of the year, we are still in the first half so expect the next half would be nice for ICO.
Now, only few ICO can reach their hard cap, but that is alright because as long as they continue to develop the project people will see and invest it once market starts to rise.

[doedz]

this is my own opinion but it may help others.

I have found that all the ICOs i have invested in have launched at almost the ICO price but in a few days dipped below the ICO prices by half or 5X for some.

With this i have discovered its better not to invest in an ICO but wait for the launch and the DIP to buy it at the corrected prices made by market forces.
Its just too hard to tell the real or recommended value of a token in an ICO these days.

Hope this helps to the new investors thinking of ICOs


 

It is because of the instability of Bitcoin price, then ico after distribution will drop along with Bitcoin price. Not to mention because of the dumper of bounty hunters.
In the past year, almost all ico success because Bitcoin experienced a tremendous increase. It benefits developers and investors.

[khanh0801]

I have a few basic pointers for investing in ICO or to wait for exchanges...

[goffbar]

Maybe ICO will dead soon. It because many investor doesn't trust again with ICO especially with many SCAM ICO. I think in 2019 ICO are impossible to be success again.

[suzanogbomo]

Much of the current dip in price of tokens soon after listing on exchange can be attributed to the bearish market position.When the market is bullish,even shit coins gets positive price movements.2017 was a great year for ICOs investors.

[Argoo]

Most of the new tokens listed on the exchange really first in the first time fall in price. Such a study has already been conducted and it shows that tokens in the early days tend to fall in price and recover in about six to eight months. Of course, specific figures depend on the project itself. In the first half of the year, moreover, the general stagnant state of the crypto-currency market also contributes to this decline. If the market had a general upward trend, the situation would be a little better.

[victory1]

We are in a corrective market and most market tends to be down at times like this.

But if you are considering for an ICO to just wait to hit the market before buying, then that makes a lot of sense right now considering you will even be having a sweet deal more than you would have had when you bought during the ICO and a lot of investors are beginning to get worried with that anyway which makes it totally unreasonable with the idea of having an ICO in the first place.

which I know is so because in 2017 and 2018 now it's different because ICO is currently a lot of fraud and do not get much profit because I know a lot of people who invest in ICO do not get a profit because with this I know too hurry and do not see if the project is in good follow or not

[TXCEO]

I think 2017 is the peak of ICO. Many crooks and shit coins have landed. But in 2018, under the bear market, the ICO lecture becomes a shit. Few projects can stand out from the ICO. So I did not choose to invest in ICO this year.

indeed in the year 2017 ico very easy to achieve success,
because the market is very good and stable, but for this year a lot of ico with strict regulations

[russian51]

For sure not the same. in 2017 we saw x10-x50 after listing. in 2018 we can see dump after listing. I am not prefer ICOs

[roshanfious]

Absolutely agree your opinion. The world CrytoCurrentcy right now less true investor everyday but the specs are larger everyday and victim also in this market.
But this market is young and it's need improve in future. I believe in future it's will be good and noise than other market for sure.

I agree with you, with the one correction that Ethereum is affecting the movement of tokens. Well Ethereum is affeced by Bitcoin, so in the end Bitcoin is affecting everything.
Last year Ethereum was a lot more stable and the market was somehow better. This year investors are more careful and ICOs don't raise so mush funds and this is making it hard for them.

You are right! One of the ICO that I know which took everything seriously was REMME.

REMME had their successful ICO with 14 millions raised in the funds for the project development.

They are more successful today because they had everything arranged perfectly. They followed the roadmaps and they kept their promises with their customers. Thus it tells me that ICO who are working hard and according to their roadmap tend to become more successful than those who dont!

[masudginanjar]

yes really the same as my thinking, but I often experience like this when listing on the ICO Exchange coin market is down right and to ride it is waiting a long time.

unless the coin is listing again on the infamous Exchange such as Bittrex, Binance, Kucoin and Poloniex, and ordinary if such likes to rise its price.

Also, what do you guys think about trends in ICOs this year? Is it getting better, cuz the sentiment changes and now its harder or is it all shit now? What do you think about security tokens?
