Some ICOs fail because their projects are unclaimed and therefore do not attract so much money!

Most of them are not aiming to have success even at the initial stage, the only goal is to get free money. So this is the reason, for failure. I would suggest to visit www.icoguide.com they have very realistic rates.

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
In February it was reported that 46 % of the ICO from 2017 has been already failed. And additional 113 were classified as semi -failed . That means that their teams stopped communicating with social media or they have so small community that they have no chance for success. So in February 59 % of 2017 ICOs were already failed or on the way of failure.

I would suggest to visit www.icoguide.com they have very realistic rates. Yes, I agree, although there are still some of them who have a high level of success, this does not guarantee that the ICO has the same level of success. Even I personally do not have an interest in ICO that promises big profits and high success rates. Because I have a very disappointing experience in the ICO project so until now I don't trust them, as you say I agree with that.

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.
I will not attribute the fail of most ICO to the complexity of the project or investors failure to identify unique use case scenario of the coin. I am highly aware that All crypto projects have certain target problems in our society that they aim at addressing. An investors interest in an ICO of a project may not be focused on the complexity of the ICO but rather, what he stands to gain should the project pull through to success. An investor may look at the chances of his investment bringing a higher return after ICO or causing him a great loss after ICO. If an investor sense money in a project, i bet he would not mind investing half of his life endings into that project. However, if an investor sense scam or feels that project is not visionary, chances are he will feeel ill to invest even a dim into the project regardless the creativity. ICO investors are all about the end result and what the stand to gain after ICO. if they see dark light, they run away, if they see bright light, they smile and welcome it into their finances.

In addition, Ultimately every cryptocurrency is a startup and has a team of founders running it. In order for the cryptocurrency to effectively navigate from ICO phase to mass-market levels, it needs a solid founding team. Before choosing to invest in a cryptocurrency ICO, make sure to look into the team's background and evaluate whether they have the skill sets and capabilities to execute the project.

The biggest reason is greed.
They are asking 40-50 million dollars for some crappy app and they are selling %40 of the tokens.
Why would anyone should join that?

Most ICOs just promise to investors that they will deliver something then collect money. Go with ICOs with strong team and with MVPs to make sure product will be there soon

Yeah, i find that hilarious. they want 40 million dollars and also want to hold the biggest part of the tokens. So at the end it causes fail. If i would have some utility token, i would put an feature which causes burning a ratio of token with use. Nearly zero ico doing that.

Someone joins because people are easily attracted to something that they think is good. though there are so many scams of ICO scams, and this is very disturbing bitcoin users. may those deceivers be aware of their deeds that are harmful to the people.

Of course the first concept is, if the concept is good, of course there will be many investors who will come to invest. after that, a professional team, advertising, and preparation are thorough about this.

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.

The main reason I think they fail is due to lack of proper planning and truly understanding the market. You will struggle or find it extremely difficult to succeed in something you don't understand too well or planned for. It is simple mathematics.

In my opinion, all Initial Coin Offerings fail because they just don't want to spend much time in developing the project or they just want to take all the raised money and live a very expensive life. To be honest, all ICOs can somehow be successful if there was enough effort put in the promotion and further development

The main reason for me is unambiguous: very weak all crypto market in general. The market has fallen more than by 3 times for the last half a year. It creates panic on all cryptocurrency! Therefore now it is necessary to be especially attentive at the choice of the project for investments!

Some ICOs are scammers, and they really do not care about investors, except the money they took from them. But some ICOs are good and legitimate, you just need to determine which one is good, and will take care of all of your investments.

As for me, then you are right. You gave good reasons for the ICO fails, but to the first I would add that the understanding of the project requires allocating more funds for the bounty campaign so that investors can look and understand . So it all depends on the market, it's clear to everyone. But there is also a condition that developers themselves are not confident in their project and this frightens off investors.

That's the reality, there are a lot of scammers because of the lack of regulation. However, crypto is here for a long period of time already, we can expect that there are people already who have matured and has the skills to choose a legitimate ICO. Maybe some will make mistakes but they'll learn eventually in time.

I agree with your reason but the difficult one is how to choose which good coin. Because many coins look unique but in the middle of signature the cancel or return the fund because they didn't reach softcap.
