Reasons why ICOs fail

[SplendidHunter]

Sometimes people are just not believing in what the project has as the main goals, and this is very sad to take place... If you are dreaming of achieving something and people reject that.

I believe in those aforementioned lists why some ICO's fail. To add, i think greediness of one of the team that lead to theft. Also, i think lack of constant update and failure to do what was promised in their roadmap could give hesitation to investors that could lead to dumping.

[ofounz98712]

Both of these situations you are talking about are correct. There are many other factors that affect ICO, such as their unrealistic goals, their team technologies failing to complete the anticipated products, etc. But now the reason for the most ICO failures is because they only want to cheat money! Fraudsters are the most hated!

[Vision ab]

many of the ICO that move in the same field became a major influence because certainly investors will be divided to invest. This is causing a lot of ICO failed because cannot get the minimum allocation to run their projects. lately indeed often happens sometimes fail and ICO is extended because it is.

less attractive, less promotion, and nothing new from the project. that's the reason, besides that too many new ico emerging so as to break the concentration of investors.

[hienvienlang]

Maybe a lots of ICO dont have a realistic project and the dev team is not really good, just make some coin and make agreement with exchanger..

[adam1230]

Its all related to product. If an ICO does not have a product and not planning to launch in a short term than its most probably fails.
I always look for product roadmap and if its logical i invest as same on hbz and shivom.

This are some Reason why some ICO fail are:-
1.sometimes ico fail because there coin has no value or use in the market, So nobody will buy it so that makes the coin worth nothing, In the market.
2.some have poor website or low quality content.

Very often the idea proves to be a failure. It happens that there is not enough money for further development of the project, although the idea is very cool. And sometimes the reasons do not explain.

I think the problem is that most people simply overestimate their capabilities. Or underestimate the idea. As a result, the team is not prepared or has not raised enough money. It is best to enter the game with the finished product and be "in the subject".

Now this concept is not enough to provide assurance that it will succeed in the future. But what needs to be improved right now is the performance of the teams to be creative in promoting their ICO to the investors so that teams can reach their ICO sales targets. Because the main point now is the achievement of sales that meet the target, to be said ICO was successful. If you only rely on a good concept and interesting but the team cannot achieve the target of sales, then what they have designed against their ICO it will only be in vain. ICO will not be able to get satisfactory results, they will fail because they can not give any gifts to the participants and investors who have supported and participated in their ICO.

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.

to add, if it has a lame team and the project is not partnered with the outstanding projects and products on the market now. A great partnership with a top company is a good sign of value because the company already trust to the team and project.

I think most of the ico fail because of project was bad and and scamming thats why most of the ico fail. now its percentage is ok  but all the new ico is not scam still lots of new ico coming into the market .

[Hillthy]

In addition to the scam issues, the idea is not feasible, malfunction from the devs team. Admittedly, the blockchain industry is a new industry, with almost inexperienced projects, partnerships, communications, haste and no community support. They have lost investor confidence. These are the reasons I think that has had a big impact on their failure.

This are some Reason why some ICO fail are:-
1.sometimes ico fail because there coin has no value or use in the market, So nobody will buy it so that makes the coin worth nothing, In the market.
2.some have poor website or low quality content.

I think the main factor that affects why ICOs fail because of bad marketing strategy, we should know that there is nothing special about coins, and for most people would think that all coins and tokens are the same so it takes a good strategy to be accepted.

[canej]

It seems to me that one of the main reasons is the inability of the project creators to inspire the trust of investors. They can't prove that the project is worth the investment and because of the Finance slowly disappear from the market

[Tapcoinofficial]

1. Not having a solid business plan, internally, and just "winging, it".
2. Not looking 5 to 10 years in the future, and answering the fundamental question: will our innovation or use case even be needed.
3. Throwing blockchain on a business that is fine without blockchain or jumping into a field where there are already 5 more established companies doing the same thing.
4. Shooting themselves in the foot with bad P.R and failing to control the rumor mill. Case and point: OCN and the promised 1:1 airdrop.
5 Not having adequate funding or any idea what funds they will actually need.
6. "Winging it" on exchange listings. Not knowing the listing fees and what it takes before they even have their ICO. They run up against roadblocks that they did not anticipate (the recent BANCA situation)
7. Not having appropriate legal help.
8. Insider trading and other illegality that will get them in big trouble in the future.

Well it's not just about that there are some things that may affect why their ICO/Project fails here are the things in my mind:

1. Poor Advertising Campaign.
2. The Team members are not credible (Including their advisor).
3. The project is too complicated and it's hard to develop or really needs a high amount.
4. The project itself are common or the concept is not that unique for the people to invest on it.
5. Poor management handling.

Most of the ICO's that are failing doesn't consider any scenarios that may happen, it is important to have a plan before doing a project for example what if the hard cap is not reached, what are the things to do in order to increase exposure of the project or how to attract more investors.

[neite99]

the majority just pumps the hype and make it seem like a bubble whereas there are not anything that can solve a problem otherwise the ones who have a working product and a dedicated team are the ones who succeed.

[drusilla43]

The tokens created must provide practicality in the ecosystem they are in and can increase the network effect. ICO tokens must be part of the company's business model. Many tokens are not practical, and failure is a matter of course.

[anti76]

Many of the ico have not yet started entrepreneurial activities. If you read the white papers of those series, the profits are expected from 2019 2020 2022 and so on. Do not be in a hurry good projects are medium-term. Those hyperveloci, on the other hand, are bankrupt

Yes, I agree with you.It is too early to draw conclusions about the failure of any ICO.If we analyze it, we can see that the full implementation of the project which was conducted by the ICO is planned for 2020.Someone earlier, someone later, but it's not tomorrow or the day after.Come on let's be patient and do not make hasty conclusions
