Why Viber, WhatsApp, skype, WeChat, Snapchat, IMO, Line not conduct ICO?

[BitBite5]

And why would they? Not everyone is interested in ICO. Also, maybe they have estimated that this might be too risky for them or not enough profitable or just don't have the interest to get involved in crypto.

What do you think why Viber, WhatsApp, skype, WeChat, Snapchat, IMO, Line have not yet launched their crypto platform?
But Kik and Telegram did it.
After all, companies can get 2 huge pluses:
1) to collect a large amount of money for ICO
2) add hype to marketing and popularity among users.

because Viber, WhatsApp, skype, WeChat, Snapchat, IMO, Line already have angel investors and their capital is large enough to establish and decide for themselves the fate of the business. This is one of the trustworthy businesses, they do not sell tokens to get money from investors, they use their own capital and strength to raise the business.
And for projects that need to raise capital, whales will often control the price of the coin. Matic, for example, had a strong dump and dropped more than 80% in just two hours and this was because they sold too many coins. leading to the whales having the right to manipulate.

All right. The giants you listed already have their sources of funding. What is the point of them to carry out an additional fundraising within the framework of ICO?
It would look strange, because companies already have their shares on the stock market, the introduction of tokens only shakes the situation with the stock price of each individual company.

Why do they have to do these things when they are the top and most powerful companies in the world? They have joined the stock market and I think it is enough for their growth to be stable. For companies that are under budget or lack of development capital, they will surely look to the cryptocurrency market to raise IEO or ICO capital to continue growing their companies, I have seen many such companies in 2019

They don't need to launch ICO because they already famous and what the use of coins they will create?  Viber,  Whats and all @op mention dont need this. Because they are already reputable

[ubercool]

I don't think everyone is interested in crypto, especially when the applications run by public listed big corporates. Facebook is trying to bring Libra but I don't think governments will let them do this.

[karanggatak]

they are all big companies that already have millions of users and are well known all over the world. and they also already have large funds to be able to continue to develop their applications. so I think that the company does not need to make ICO poryek to be able to raise funds or become famous. Because they already have their own funding sources and also have many users throughout the world.

I agree with you, and even that thousands of financial companies want to invest in their projects so they will never run out of money to develop. ICO or IEO are only for poor projects and there are no sponsors, as a result I have yet to see any successful ICO or IEO projects so far

[henrybek3]

This will happen soon. Now my expectation is this. Facebook has already dominated these companies, but not indirectly. When Libra comes out, all digital platforms or social media programs will use it. This is my opinion.

Indeed, they are big companies and grow very early, their level of attraction to the community is too good, and of course, they also do not lack investors, supports and sponsors, ICO is not necessary when they have skipped the stage of capital mobilization, what they need to do is develop according to global trends. In addition, the trend of large companies in the world is to conduct legalization on the stock exchanges, stocks will help the value of that company soar, they don't need an ICO when it doesn't help increase their value

No needed and telegram is enough because real project never want scam so their want market run with more customers. Basically if their have good activity in telegram Facebook and Twitter Ann thread then everyone customers will take support easly.

[kotik085]

Such huge companies do not need to make a fuss, they are known even without advertising and PR. Maybe in the future, they will create, like TON and Libra.

[luppecuppe]

If these big firms produce a subcoin, they become stronger than the state. The armies of states protect the borders. But the main thing is to quit the money. Material power is very important for the existence of states. Social media companies may soon enter this sector. Watch out for coins with fake names.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and Facebook already have plans to release their coin (Libra) in 2020, which we don’t know for sure if it’s going to be a success. However, I don’t think they are going to do ICO for it, that’s meant for startups, this is an already established brand with lots of users and they are well known around the world.

If Libra should be released today, a lot of people are quickly going to adopt and start making use of it. If not for the difficulties they had, PayPal would have still been a part of the association by now and imagine the kind of weight they would have pulled by now.

But first of all they need to go through strict regulation and being approved even before thinking of conducting an ICO and making fuss like is the same as taking risk of making wrong business movement which could put their business in danger. If they are about to release a coin, it'll only have the utilization of being a local currency and nothing more. overall it's just doesn't benefit them enough.

They will obviously need to invest a lot in order to make their coin capable of competing with other coins. Moreover as you said, the coin will not ever reach the level of international transactions since bitcoin is already doing that job efficiently. This is happening on daily basis that so many new projects are launched but because of lack of developments and updates, they die. Well these social apps can earn from offering marketing services to new ICOs.

[carlzec]

Soon Whatsapp can become a wallet. But there is a very serious problem. Whatsaap can be traced from Wifii networks. So imagine a cell phone connected to wifii. This is a very serious security problem. I think people might not get used to this technology right away.

Indeed. also, they already popular so there are no reason they conduct ICO or IEO. their coin will also useful than other new comer crypto projects, people will have interest and invest without doubt that the project they invested will going to scam. it's right also that social media platforms is enough to spread their coins. in future people will easily support it without that marketing ICO strategy.

This topic has long been made but I just saw.

IMO.. which led to large applications as you have said (WA, Snapchat, IMO and others) to date have not issued their own cryptocurrency is because of legal issues.  These big companies are very obedient to the rules issued by the United States government, but in the future, if the US government no longer bans cryptocurrencies, I am very sure they will issue the cryptocurrencies of their own products.

It is unnecessary for those companies to make their own coin because it will be redundant for the use of other currencies like dollar and bitcoin. We already have coins that can be used as a payment in different platforms even in social media. They should put their attention in innovation and making people's lives easier rather than creating their own coin.
