Reasons why ICOs fail

[wildflower18]

Most Ico's fail because lack of uniqueness of the project. No investors attract to invest in this kind of project and also if no product since most investors they are into real usage. Most people have learned their mistakes so they had truly do some research first.

The factors that cause a project to be discontinued are diverse, from the inexperience of the team to the lack of financial resources for the continuity of the project. Many ICOs fail because they do not reach even the soft cap they crave

This is one reason, but I think that most ICO are failing, because of lack of financing that is direct reason of the weak market. Most investors are very careful now and keep their coins, waiting for better times.

Icos are just taking the value out of btc these days, they are not worthy and not giving any help here in crypto, honestly, they should have been stopped, we should focus on btc, not the alts.

ICO does not really exist. It's like a scam.

[HerreraMJ]

I think the reason the fail is that they don't make the effort to propose an innovative idea, I think most of them are focusing on being part of the cryptocurrecy trading in order to get profits that way.

 i dont know what type of ico you are talking about before people was earning atleast x2 from participate in ico and now its not profitable and most of ico are scam

[DainSLane]

Probably some ICOs are gonna fail it is because their website,whitepaper and the roadmap was not qualified for many investors so that their not gonna invest in that ICOs plus lack of advertisezing their company in different website online.

[Revolvere]

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.

You have included a good statement there, and the other thing is that the cryptocurrency team project is halfway into it, and not meeting the roadmap is really another problem after the ICO is successful. Cryptocurrency requires clear rules so that there is no doubt.

You have to know that the entire crypto market is based a lot on speculation and hype, so I would say the biggest reason for the ICO's failure is the lack of attractive promotions and it's difficult to get their names to be recognized. I think that can be true for any business, but I feel that is especially true in Crypto. People will look for products from a manufacturer, nothing else.

I think many projects are reluctant to spend a lot of money, but want big profits. In fact, the most important part of the money received is spent on marketing, and this affects the price of tokens for the short term, but does not provide benefits for the product. Products must have good development.

[Dobrodav]

they dont have a good marketing team, they dont have a good plan - they dont know how to use our money - they think they r genius after an success ICO and don't do anything after that. just buy a lambor and relax?

[edinorogka]

Many ICOS succeed in light of the fact that they cannot get a basic job to perform their tasks.Some ICOS don't even have the best products .

[teosanru]

The most common reason for failure of any ico is the team backing it and the type of project.
Some projects are so worthless and they still expect people to invest their hard earned money in them.
While, on the other hand, projects like hedging always fail to attract investors.
With so many projects out, only a unique project can convince people to invest.

I'd state since the majority of the digital money publicity is down; relatively few financial specialists are extremely inspired by ICO's or (at any rate) wary when attempting to pick the correct one.

There is an adoption and it's increasing, I believe we are still in the right track, a lot of ICOs failed but a lot of ICOs were also successful.
At this point of time, we cannot weigh if they have failed or succeeded because this projects are supposedly for long term development.

[DikkieD]

I wouldn't be surprised if most ICO's are mostly an idea without means necessary to develop without proper funding. Getting things like a website, a team, a whitepaper, some ICO reviews (ratings) and perhaps even a very basic working product may make all the difference, but in most cases it can all be done/made/launched quite easily and affordable to give out an honest message to future ICO investors. Not that it really matters (to me). I used to go full mad on whitepapers, do research on teams and such..but in the end, you either are lucky, or you invest in a failed start-up....and with failed I mean it doesn't deliver at the beginning, but there still is a chance it will deliver much further down the road. For this I often don't get why people are screaming 'scam' so fast after ICO has finished....as if it is a surprise the project doesn't go x10 immediately.

A good example is Bee Token. I was so stoked about this project. Still think they could be able to get value up. However, my investment is almost completely worthless. Other projects however did much better, but Bee Token is a good example of a project that seemed to have everything in order (all ICO DYOR requirements were met, lots of hype included). Big disappointment when the project tanked that hard after ICO. You can't have it all I guess .

Most of the ICO's I invested in are still way down compared to ICO price....this will become better again once the bearish times have passed.

I think right now ICO's in general are struggling. I hope current ICO's will be able to get their projects up and running, as I do see more potential in each project (in general).

In the crypto currency came a lot of money. They were followed by a large number of scammers who conduct fraudulent IDF in order to get money from gullible people.

[25espia1994]

so ICO can not succeed
because their project does not favor people with their investors so it just shows that it's a scam.
so before investing, ICO needs to know how much people want it.

[imopogicute]

for me
so the ICO fails because their project does not invest people until it just comes out with a scam.
they will no longer pay their participans because they have nothing to invest.
