Is the future of ICOs going to be a security?

[whatdigital]

Interested to hear your thoughts on the future of security tokens. There's a lot of discussions around how maybe all tokens are securities, and these are obviously difficult to do.  I've been having a look at Property Coin which is an asset-backed security token (https://propertycoin.re/en/), they've written a blog post about issuing a security token in the US which makes for interesting reading https://medium.com/property_coin/issuing-an-ico-in-the-us-one-companys-experience-aeca56d6444d

Considering how much regulation is in around, do you think it might stop people from creating ICOs?

If to talk about security, pay attention to such a promising project as SONDER ICO, total security is one of their main direction

The idea of security coins is really interesting and attractive aspecially nowadays when our information in social media sites is almost in open access. I hope it will develop in future.
What about ICO regulation, it is connected with crypto market fall. Famous companies ban ICO adds just to save its reputation in case of market crash.

There are so many security tokens and upcoming one ongoing ICOs that are security based. They are all good ideas, but that i would have been so good if most of this projects can succeed. The problem there is that, some of this project were set up purposely to enrich he initiator of the project as well as the team members. It would have been good if this projects will be maintained and let people get the VALUE of what they have invested in. It is not about the price, what the VALUE. Of what benefit will it be to us when it is applied.

Hello guys! ICO really stands for Initial Coin Offering and I usually think of ICO as a ERC20 token from Ethereum. But ICO really stands for Initial Coin Offering. So, kind of funny, most ICO is really a ITO, Initial Token Offering. Marinecoin is still in the underwaters see it surface from the underworld.It is now back with a new team of developers an a growing community. The sky is potentially the limit, one must however always have realistic expectations. Marinecoin will skyrocket to outerspace swim  in the depths of the milkyway. Marinecoin is a self sustaining, zero fees, dev-less time dilution technology which has been tested over time and has stood the the tests of time. This is a first a self sustaining community. Future looks bright for Marinecoin.https://marineco.in https://marineco.inMore details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2971179.0

The ICO does not die, but it will become very strict because it requires a variety of rigorous reviews.
I heard a message that the ICO project in the United States would take 12 months to list on exchange, so it would be a big blow to speculation.

I was looking for bounties and came across 20000 MTC Marinecoin .There wabebsite marineco.in/ says  Marinecoin MTC  The first Dev-less  self-sustaining  Crypto-Currenncy  Artificial Intelligence Machine to Machine payment network .So i looked into it. They are rewarding 20000 MTC Marinecoin ICO for simply following all the designated steps to receive ICO. Artifical intelligence is called Javis which analysis all of the ico applicant to prove proof of promotion to make sure aapplicants are real. Marinecoin is Dev-less which takes away the need for miners as the web site says they are self-sustaining which leaves the community in control. Marinecoin is eco friendly as it takes the environment into consideration. Marinecoin Also has its own exchange f1cx.com which is safe and secure and also open to the public. So join the Marinecoin community .

honestly I'm not sure about this, but I have good hopes for their good future and my thoughts are only positive!

[Supec77]

I think in the future with time due to technology,
protection and information technology will be more extensive,which will lead to the high security of many companies and institutions,and believe that we have a bright future,so that all wish to contribute to Razvitie.

I don't think regulation will kill ICO.
On the contrary, regulation can make more excellent ICO projects appear, so I think regulation is a good thing.

All ICOs are guaranteed security as one expects for investors. When tightened management there will be less chance for fraudulent ICOs and open up healthy competition for the excellent ICO. At present, there are many projects that have been developed, and I am looking forward to the success of these projects so that ICO security is tightened.

[hetecon]

There are certain projects in the field of security of investor deposits in ICO, which will make it less risky to participate in ICO and I think that this is very important.

Unfortunately, many of the replies in this post seem to have misinterpreted your use of the term 'security' as it applies to security tokens.

For those who may look through this thread at a later date, we are not talking about security from a safety or privacy point of view.

We are talking about securities, as in the Securities Exchange Commission usage.  ie. not a Utility, but a Security Token.  Tokens that pay a dividend and have no utility function are normally seen as a security token.  Many times, a project will add utility function into a token to avoid it being classified as a security.

Security tokens will definitely become more common, particularly when companies listed on old-world fiat financial markets make the eventual transition to blockchain.

Yes, in fact, the idea of security coins is very good! it would be great if it began to actively develop and improve. I'm sure they would be in great demand, because now the Internet is so little opportunity to store your information, data and even money safe-security coins would be very helpful in this!

[clarkt]

I think ICO future is still going to be utility.  The store of value is in Bitcoin.  That mean bitcoin is money.  But token are totally different.  Token will be used for various activities and belongings.  Anything that has some form of use will continue to exist.

[Thyaga]

Yes I believe in the future blockhain technology will be used for security and used by all people.

Anonymity of transactions is very important. For example, if everyone suddenly starts to use always only crypto-currencies that can not be tracked, then the government will not be able to do anything.

Marinecoin, MTC is the hottest thing on water.  They are currently in beta ico testing with their artificial intelligence driven reward system.  Jarvis, AI engine, automatically rewards each successful completed mission with 20,000 MTC currently during the beta phase.  The coin has time tested inherent value and aims to build the largest, most diverse, crypto community that there is.  The platform is designed to support IoT applications with zero fees to economically enable machine to machine transactions.  The learn more check out their site here     marineco.in/ico

I think the government will stop people from creating ICO.
Because the current ICO is like printing money, this is a terrible thing, most ICO is just hype.

Some refinement - like scam with printing own money and change it on real money. Who is in profit at the end?  Imho do not need to speak
