How bad are ICOs this year?

[aprilnot]

in my opinion it's not so bad, even though lately many projects have failed or been scam. but in reality there are still many quality projects. so don't judge that this year is the end of the ICO.

Many people invested in ICO because 1000x fast return  because of the  ICO performance in the past, and it turned some ICO already lower 50% of their ICo price. For me its bad, but not really bad because some ICO managed to achieve their funding to start their project its just that the whole market is bad not ICO alone.

at this time only quality projects will grow and all who wanted just to raise money in a quick way will get nothing.

This year is the worst for ICO and in general for the whole market, I hope that next year the situation will change for the best.

It is true that this bear market has made creating a successful ICO a real challenge, but I still believe that if an ICO is really good it won't have much trouble maintaining a constant market volume, in the end, it is what most coins should aim at in order to continue with mass adoption and help spread the technology.

Very few projects this year which are generally harvested softcap , I think you need to store the tokens in which you are a member of the ico !

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!

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.

I cant deny on that because if we do compare the projects on last years where funds needed doesn't even go high into tens of millions but just below on that fund goal but as of now
we are even seeing 100's which is ridiculous and I don't know on whats their basis to have that hardcap which isn't actually suiting out into their proposed project.This is why I'm not
surprised on how horrible is the ICO trend as of this year, lots of failures because of greed and unrealistic goals.

They are not so bad if you ask me, at the beginning of the year they were doing very well since the bull was still on and people were more inclined to invest in coins at that point so the icos were taking in more money but now they are not taking as much but it does not take a soothsayer to say that they are not making as much money because of the bear market, considering the circumstances, they are doing quite well.

I can’t say if you could notice, but I think that today many projects cannot dial softcap, although some projects look quite acceptable, but I understand that many investors don’t like to take risks and will not do this in a falling market.

[vhns222]

I dont have and i think noone have statistics of this year but i think this one and next ones will come, would have better ICO es than was in last year, as more and more ICO es make MVP s, so spamers step by step would go away.

High percentage indeed are bad this year which might be affected by the downtrend. I do think that market downfall this year plays a huge factor for the negative outcome of many ico projects. Some are still succeeding but the market price are falling below ICO price upon the market listing which simply means that ICO investors are losing profit from doing so. That is why we should be patient to wait for changes to occur in the market.

[ned.ryerson]

Here the reason is not in the year, the reason is that this year introduces a lot of sanctions against projects, and if before there were scammers in the market and collect investors now they do not have such opportunities , and as for investing in projects that , regardless of time, you need to very strictly check the project, and talk with developers.

[Milka86]

This year is unfortunately really very difficult and difficult for many projects and investors. A lot of losses due to the market and the situation on it. But this time you just need to survive . Good projects exist today, just need to look good

[clipto]

Extremely bad. There is a lack of investors, because they are tired of the red market. Why should anybody invest in ICO, when 95 percent of them are dropping their price, as soon as they go live on exchanges. Usually they a losing 90 percent of the ICO price. It is not normal.

[trudovik]

To be honest, it seems to me that the investment situation has not changed, because at the beginning of the year there were projects that raised a lot of money, these guys definitely need to look for catching and punishing for example the Envion project

[acheampong64]

The research was about old ICOs who either scammed or never developed any working product. But just yesterday i read another article stating that this year ICOs have raised more money than last year. The other real fact is that at this last half or quarter of the year, people have not been investing much as of last year this time.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

if I think it is very bad because there are more frauds in the ICO who do not want to think about their investors or buyers of coins just to get their own benefits from the ICO. so hopefully in the coming year the ICO can be trusted again with investors and reduced by fraud as well so that it cannot harm people anymore

[carrigan]

I will not say that the ICO in this year is so bad. It is just like coming in the wrong time. however, many new ICOs have been listed and they are promising. Actually, many of them have very promising concepts for profitable coins in the future. But, the price is always down after on the market.
