How bad are ICOs this year?

[turquaise]

me and my friends gain crazy money from ICO's. that's why ICO's are dead now because we are not the only people who earn that much. in economy things are priceless first then everybody hear about and join in and after that everything is over. like ICO's.

[cryptomanspbmgdn]

they're disgusting this year. about 90% of all ico projects are scams! and people still believe them, it's terrible

[Baronggot]

I don't know how really bad it is but most of the time, i heard about news regarding scam projects that bagged money from poor investors who don't really know what they are investing to. Some also are smart enough to determine between a scam ICO and legit one.

News headline says "76% of This Year’s ICOs Are Already Under Water"  and most of these are ICOs launched at the first quarter of this year.
If you’re going to invest in an ICO, then, the message is clear: be selective, choose blockchain projects over anything else and make sure you get into the pre-sale. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting your time and your ethereum.

Watch out folks!

This year it is difficult to conduct an ICO, people have become more careful with investing, this is probably due to financial difficulties around the world. To gain sufficient amount of funds is getting harder, but ICO still spend, but less.

I dont think that ICOs are bad but the current market sentiment cause that investors are not investing into high risk offers.

[mummybtc]

If more than 70% of the ICOs are below their ICO price it tell the whole story, the developers cause all these hacvoc on investoer, giving out up to 10X to their private investors without any lock up period and lock up period for the tem tokens trigger this sentiment that it is better to buy on exchange than on the market. Everyone is now hurt badly

It's a very pathetic situation for ICO this year 2018 as a whole lots of ICO reward get below ICO price when they start trading while a lots others take several months to become trade-able which is discouraging to many people. So this year's has not been fair to people in term of ICO

Although I don't have complete and detailed ICO data, I can provide you with the number of fraudulent activities I have encountered!
I participated in 5 bounty events in August. Until today, only one incident still exists, and the remaining four activities have disappeared or declared dead!

yes ,it is normal in the cryptocurrency market, now there are so many ICO projects are scams. It's hard to find a potential project to invest. When you invest in a project, you need to carefully check their team, roadmap and whitepaper if not, you can lose your money.

I do not think that this year is any special for ico, just this year was bearish and there was no such demand for tokens as in 2017

[juragankambing]

I agree with the news that currently there are a lot of ico who are drowning under water, very different from ico last year who got a lot of success and big income from their ico,
I also agree and strongly agree if we have to be more selective in choosing ico so that what we invest produces profits and not useless work

[makankambing]

ICOs are bad because everybody want raised fund with doing ICOs. For example : if the idea itself of these project doesn't need blockchain, why they're doing ICOs?

I think not only because of the profit, they would believe in the future of blockchain so ICO is a must-step to get to that.

[lamacchia]

and also don't be fooled just by an ico rating that looks good, because right now the rating can't guarantee the good or not of an ico, I've found not only one but there are some ico who have a good rating, but apparently ico is a scam, I agree with you, must be more careful and careful in choosing ico.

I have a bad experience in ico Metadium, I have purchased its tokens through pool, when ethereum was almost 700 dollars. Now ico passed and ether costs about $ 200, so I'm unlikely to make a profit 

[D3m1r4wanti]

if you know about the ICO project track record in 2017, then you will know how bad some ICO projects are this year, there are so many scam projects, and very many tokens that become shitcoin after a while listing on exchangers.

[acidburn14]

This year ICO's compared to last year is not good. ICO's are having a hard time completing their project because investors are having a doubt with the current market trend and also a lot of scam ICO's are popping up like a mushroom to get easy money from people who are new to crypto world.

[rltim555]

ICOs are extremely bad this year. Just every single ICO is a disaster. Investors lose money and some of them even fix 90% loss.
 It is something what happens every single day.

ICO projects in 2018 are very greedy and stupid. They want to raise a huge amount of money without even having a prototype of their own finished product. Only on its development, they ask tens of millions dollars. I do not think that this is normal, and it is quite natural that all these projects could not get out of the water.

Now the small altcoins are dumped dramatically, especially those new coins with weak community support.  Things may turn around in a few months when altcoins go hype and people realize the highest profit still comes from ICO. But no matter the short term price, invest only on those you researched and support
