Reasons why ICOs fail

[Luu An]

Need time to give out new idea, almost good idea are used for existing ICOs. This market just only develop fastly in 2-3 year recently, so if some ICO can give out product and necessary to real life then maket can growth up, as current situation almost coin and token just for trading

I think some ICO's fail when investors decide to cash out quickly which may result in panic dump and most times dump from developers who would want to cash out their investments also. Was the level of trust is breached it hampers the growth

[edmundo]

Personally, I hinge the primary reason to greed. Only few projects out there have something worthwhile, something of real value and a product capable of providing a solution. Most developers take advantage of the fact that the crypto space is unregulated, they step in with the sole aim of defrauding unsuspecting investors. Once that is done, they don't care what else happens to the project or investor funds. Am afraid Its a rough terrain and will continue to be so unless something is done.

mostly of the reason why the ICO failed, is that they do not meet their expected soft cap and cannot continue there project without that money, and so they have to abandon there project, but they will return to the investors their money and it takes time to do it.

All want quick money, so our world in the year 2018! Too easy and quickly you can assemble investment and escape, so there are so many wanting to get rich quick!

So many ICOs failed because I thought there was a lack of feasibility studies in several projects. Some projects are not convincing enough to succeed so that they do not satisfy investors. However, many ICOs are successful, all of this is just how serious the developer is advancing the ICO.

[Helamkiyu]

I think the motivation behind why the ICO comes up short is the point at which no individuals bolster there administrations. It is a business which if there is no clients the business will kick the bucket and there will be no more explanations behind them to remain in this industry.

What you are saying may be true. I think some also fail because of the unrealistic goals they set for themselves. But do you think it is actually just 50% that fail?

[warcarft3]

There are many reasons for ico's failure. The longest reason is that this ICO is simply a scam. As far as I can see, more than 90% of ICOs on the market may be scam. The entire market is affected by these scams, causing serious fall.

Basically, as a result of a bad idea or for some technical reasons, many ICOs fail. Therefore, investing in any ICO is risky, it is important to look for projects that stay away from these mistakes. Of course, probably the most promising start-ups may fail. If you want to retain the investment before the glory, be sure to measure the long-term strategy of the project.

[princebridge7]

the reason is because the ICO is now copying the existing coins, so investors are less interested in the ICO.

if the ICO is good and different from the existing one, it is certain that the ICO will be successful.

[skish85]

The share of bad projects is still high. In order not to lose money in future scams, it is necessary to check in detail the information about the project, its team and to study the opinion of the community.

[Raidal]

I think many ICOs fail because they don't have careful planning. They are not ready to carry out their projects so that all seem rushed. I prefer if ICO runs the project in a relaxed, free, but responsible manner. The many failures of the ICO are also influenced by euphoria that only wants to immediately release the ICO and get investors without clear steps. Last maybe because the strategy applied is less intelligent, especially marketing and promotion strategies for tokens offered by 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.

And the list does continue.

3. Lack of proper marketing
I believe in a thriving cryptocurrency market, one should hire a very skilled marketing team in order for their tokens to ever make it big in the market. It never ends with just releasing the tokens out on the market.

4. Hiring the best manager
A bounty campaign is considered a very smart marketing move and a campaign manager would mean a great deal of marketing when picked right.

From the many failed ICOs that I met, I met and analyzed the failure of this ICO because they offered tokens that had the same technology as the previous token. In other words, the offered tokens show less innovation where so that this makes the public's trust in the token decrease. I am also very annoyed if there are new coins but technology is not innovative, many new coins are duplicating technology from previous coins so that people are very difficult to build trust in the coins because using old coins is no problem and not much different.

[apyong]

For me i think some ico fall because there were not enough investors interested in the project due also to low promotions from developers and team members.

investors nowadays were so hesitant to invest in any ico because they are afraid that this might just be a scam ico anyway. this is why a lot of icos were failing. all they need to do is to have a partnership first before launching an ico so that they can attract some investors.

[kniheant2]

for me,bitcoin down so much,anyone bitcoin have affect to alcoin,even is ethereum,ico take funds from eth so many ICOs fail is bitcoin cause.and it is not bad problem,i belive bitcoin in future,once bitcoin price recover,then ico will sucess again.

[thaoni23]

All of the ico was founded for the economic purpose. If they do not achieve a certain amount of money for project development, it is unlikely that they will be able to continue the project.

[lili song]

There are a number of ICO factors that fail, the first could be the idea that is less interesting. Then the project is not feasible, and the ICO may not be competitive and incompetent to be accepted by the community.
