Reasons why ICOs fail

[Impaler]

Their were many reasons behind falling of ICOs. One of the reason was market conditions. The market was too bad last year. Almost everything iwas down. And in somewhere every coin every investment in the crypto market was not going well. So same thing happens with ICOs. The next thing is scam and failed project. The scammy projects were everywhere almost 80% or more projecs are scammy. And besides that there are others which were good at early stage but when the development pressure started to come they failed. So investors are afraid to invest. But now the situation is kind of under control cause ieos are the new treand.

Most ICOs fail because the team have no plan to develop anything but to collect investors funds, they want to have access to this money and live a life of a multi-millionaire, there is need to make all these developers accountable for the money collected from the investors so as to bring sanity to the space

Most ICO failed because there is no regulations guiding ICO and most of the ICO teams  are just using for medium of scamming people.

Most ICO's fail always, they keep failing and until these developers are not ready to learn what the current market trend is, they will continue to fail and fail. The existing market lacks so many features, learning about these and bringing something new to add value is what the market waits for and not what is already existing. Traders are after value added exchanges where they can get access to everything on a single App and not just bringing what is already available.

Icos failing isn't something that is new. You can see so many projects that hosted ico two years ago and now they are no where to be found. They have faded away. There are some reasons that can cause this.
- Mismanagement of funds by team members.
- Decrease in focus and zeal of team members
- Government new policies
- Lack of credible and experience project advisors.
- Lack of good marketing strategy.
- Lack of new progressive ideas over the month.
- Stagnancy of project over the months.
- Negative influences from the community.

That is why when you want to invest in ICO, do research and analysis. Because right now there are many ICO projects that scam and make people have to be careful before investing. For now there are no regulations for ICO. That is why you have to take your time to look at the project even further.

Most ICOs fail because of poor marketing strategies. Others fail as a result of poor product which has limited or no market demand. The product of an ICO plays a major role in the success of the ICO as it has now become of the key factors investors look out for before joining the ICO.

ICO projects failure can be attributed to the team behind the project. Personally, I feel if the team is great, they will come up with a good project and the project won't fail.

Most ICOs fail and they will continue to fail and fail because those developers are not ready to learn to bring to the market something unique and valued added to the market to stand out, they still bring to the market what already exist and this is the main reason why most will continue to fail.

It's more on the reputation of ICO than the team, if you notice, ICO are not popular anymore, investors move to IEO now.
The team who believe that their project is gonna be successful and will sell in the market, they need to find private investors to fund the financial requirement in case they want it in IEO. Sad to admit, but ICO in reality is not anymore profitable.

[Piklo]

I do not think that 50% of failed ICOs is too much. In any business, percentage of loss-making campaigns is high. If we take the sphere of startups, only one project out of ten survives there. So, it is not so bad in the field of ICO as it is given in media

I think a lot of ICOs are built on hype and as majority dont have a working product either that just leads to people dumping when possible as theres no real adoption without a product and people get impatient for easy profits. But one quality you can have regardless to ensure a successful ico which doesnt fail is by having a product with real use case and can absolutely change the economy and lives of people around the world- much like Tokoin who are helping MSMEs expand business and funding opportunities advancing the growth of 3rd world countries, those types of projects will never fail IMO

There are so much reasons why even great projects were not able to even collect their soft cap, but in my opinion it has nothing to do with the level of complexity, but with the current market situation and crypto currencies fall.

[Kwansimaa]

most ICOs are failing and this is a really bad story for the crypto industry. New developers are not ready to learn an bring something unique to the market, they are always at the same level they used to be and still developing what is already available in the market. the market is waiting for something new but reliable and dependable, something new that adds value to the market and if new developers dont consider such, they will still continue to fail.

In bear market we saw that almost all ICOs failed some good ICOs also failed. And there was many reason behind that fall. The main reason was sacm and failed project. That time tere was many projects which collected money form people and just disappeared. Some of them good at ICO stage but failed at development stage. So people are kind of afraid. And one of the other reason was market conditions. For this reason I think the ICO ecosystem was falling.  But now the whole market was recovered again. And ICOs are IEOs are doing great.

[sebastianluv]

I believe it's safe to say that the reason why an ICO will fail is due to low demand or unacceptance for the product, and the market is overloaded.
There should be a better marketing strategy for branding, Another reason is a team that does not know the direction of development according to market desires.

[blockchainwriters]

The main reason most of the icos fail is they list the coin in high price once the market falls then it may turn negative in loss and lack of proper developments the coins fail

[qomariah95]

I think the right reason for ICO failing is the less attractive the project developed and that means investors don't want to take the risk of the project. Because, now the project that is less clear will certainly be abandoned. Plus there are so many ICO scams, therefore investors will look for really good ICO projects like the Bcnex Project.

[JasmineRose]

There are many ICOs out there, but more than 50% of them fail.
From my analogy, could this be the reasons why ICOs fail?
1. Being too complicated:
If you want investors to favour your ICO, make sure they understand your coin offering. Be concise yet interesting, creative yet not too ‘techy’ and try to explain concepts from scratch. Of course, the detail you go into is likely to depend on your target audience.
2. No unique Use case and lack of creativity:
The reality is, ICOs are not straightforward and with new ideas and concepts arising daily, you need to get noticed and that means coming up with some unique Use case
So, before a developer even attempts to launch an ICO or enter the crypto world, ask yourself: "What will make investors choose this particular ICO over a competitor’s ICO?"
I believe the list continues.

ICO is bad for me because developer not sure about exchange. Only promises with good exchange. And their action very slow about exchange. Maybe IEO is the best to  combine with ICO

[Prettygirl01315]

for me ICO's fail so much due to the market status if the market goes down there's a higher possibility that the project will be abandon that's why IEO and STO are so good right now due to the reason that the progress of the project is so stable than ICO and also the funds as well

[Garrygold]

Analyzing the results of the companies that conducted ICO, and were successful, we can conclude. After the listing, the price drops significantly. And why, because on the exchanges immediately after the listing, the bounty hunters begin to sell the received tokens. I think that's one of the good reasons
