80% of ICOs are Scams

[slavsole2017]

I am always impressed by the guarantee of a quick return on investment and a stable high income. If the interest rate on the project site makes you think that it sounds too good, then most likely it only sounds good. But in reality you can not see not only the promised fabulous payments, but also your own funds.

I dont know the basis of their findings but I do agree with their statements. There are several scam projects out there and that is why I think in some few years to come there wouldnt be anything like ICO since all investors wouldnt be ready to invest. several other ICOs fail because they lack real life application and commitment from team.

Indeed, for now, projeck more fraud. they all had planned for a fraud to be able to benefit investors without being selfish. blinded by money

 I think that number of scam ICO's is that high. If some project fails for some reason (ex. if softcap is not reached) that doesn't mean it is a scam

[axiline]

I would say otherwise, most ICO simply can not provide a real product, they are trying to raise money for an idea, but very few people are starting to implement it.

[Floder1]

There are a lot of scam ICOs around, but I don't agree only 20% are legit. Its more than 20% and scam ICOs are below 80%. It is not true that scam ICOs overwhelms legit ones on this forum.

[Md Saykat Nazir]

yes that is real. Now it is very hard to find a suitable challenge. I already lost a variety of money on this. however if I find a good venture, it gives me a very good profit. need to locate.

[lotao]

The number of ICO scams exceeds your imagination. I have seen a statistical table on the success rate of ICO, which shows that the failure rate of ICO is over 92%!

[S[m]OKE]

Where do you get these percentages from? Maybe you just do not participate in those who make a profit, and take part in everything that goes without analyzing anything.

[Vlad_m]

I'm not sure if this study is legit.

Hard to say that all 80% are scams.

I believe more in a fact that people just followed the hype to create their own tokens without knowing the thing.

So. it's more lack of expertise rather than scam, IMO.

[Crypton2018]

I would say that 80% is a small figure. I think that in the real world the number of fraudulent ICO reaches 90-95%. You just look what they promise and what they end up doing. But this does not mean that you should not invest in ICO. Just need to be careful!

[Gabteb]

With time % of scams would go down as people mostly would invest in projects which have MVP so dont think scamers would make MVP  to scam investors .

[Psalms23]

Possibly could be true. I can say through own experience with at least 60% of my participated bounty campaigns have turned out to be scam, even if some said that they failed to reach their cap, I still say they could be scam. Now I dont even know how many ICOs are there that doesnt have bounties that are also scams.

[elzjmirra]

It is indeed very much a scam ICO but I don't think it can reach 80%. But then I had ever experienced the ICO project just a little scam. We as the bounty hunter is better to be cautious before determining the ICO project which we will follow.

[alizalela7]

Do you think that most of the ico are spinning? I do not think if ico is a scam, do you invest in the ico market or the ico has existed until today?

Many of ICOs is scam because this person sees how easy crowdfunding is from this ico investment, moreover investors are very easy to be deceived with some supporting information.
yeah that is the background of the rampant scam. but that does not mean that there is no real project to be realized? I still often see ico success to be launching and entering the exchange successfully..

[Zhagedu]

In my own opinion and experience there are so many ICOs which went down the drain just because of in appropriate decisions. These decisions make most of these ICOs scam in the eyes of the investors. In recent time there had been an increase in the rise of these scam, failed, gone dead, and dwindling ICOs.

[Kool5]

Yes indeed a lot of companies failed. I think that they simply did not have enough investment money. After all, if they had gained enough investment, then their project went to the crypts.

[Ekaterina Stalin]

The high rate of fraud is not terrible. It is terrible that those ignorant investors still blindly invest in ICO when they are deceived, which will make those fraudsters easily defraud money!

[Meijau]

Its different about ICO fall and SCAM.
Fall if their project cant reach softcap and usually they are sent back money investor.

Scam if they steal investor money, the project its "never".
maybe 70% ICO fall and 10% Scams.
Project Scams like a Otto Network

[morrongiello]

even though most of the current ICO Projects, I don't care about that, for the moment the most important thing is I get the experience of following a bounty campaign
