ICOs are not dying off, what I see and understand is that the good ICOs are been filtered while the craps are thrown out of the system, When ever reputable project emerges, it get funded.

I don't agree with you. There are plenty of good projects with working product but still their token sale remains unsuccessful and this is because of bearish conditions and from past few months only few of ICOs did well and those were the ones backed by investment companies (FBG capital etc. ).

Men i have joined more real icos than other years, i have seen less scams around, thats just my perception of course . As many of us have already said the regulations has made the market and the ico more mature, more real and most of all a real placw and safe place for real investor all around the world so this is the time to hold to the crypto world

ICOs in September had a really bad return. If you invested in the top performing ICO you lost 45% of the investment This ICO was Tolar (TOL).

it seems yes, because I see a lot of ICO that fail so I agree if you say that the ICO is dying but that might also happen because the ICO now doesn't have a new idea about project (the same as an existing project) so investors are lazy to invest in ICO for this time.

I don’t think the ICO time has passed. In 2017 and in the beginning of 2018, most of the niches in which innovative projects could develop were occupied. Over time, new niches will appear or more reliable projects will be implemented instead of fraudulent ones. The procedure of conducting an ICO using crypto tokens is very convenient, so it will exist.

The answer is no, the ICO will not die. In the current market situation, ICO and investors are in a down state. ICOs need good market conditions to grow and people need to wait patiently through this difficult time, everything will be fine again. But there are also a series of fraudulent ICOs that have been created, which is one of the things that makes the ICO die out when people no longer trust the ICO.

[Oltort]

no in my opinion the icos are not dying but there are many of low quality without innovative ideas, we just have to look good those worthy in which we deserve to invest

ICO's are making it's way into most people's investment portfolio and they are guiding the steps for the upcoming ICO's.

We have to remember also that waves are a natural part of trends. Interest must rise and subsequently fall. The floors and ceilings may shift in the long term which would be much more indicative but in the short term, we're merely seeing people rethinking how to tackle some of the issues that have resulted in many ICOs failing.

[angelica laura]

In my opinion it happened because of unstable market prices. Maybe they are waiting for a stable price and then come up with a new concept. Some ICOs need a long time to reach their targets. We have to think positively and not judge too quickly that an ICO is bad or dying off.

Most of them were born dead. I mean that some project have very small chance to be successful, so I wonder how did they managed to get so much money.

[DominickA86]

ICOs are not dying off. The problem is the lack of investors and the lack of interest from the community members to any new projects. We need to invest more in ICOs to make them profitable again, or we will not see any profitable ICO.

[EducoinVietnam]

ICOs need new blockchain that would be more affordable and more reliable than Ethereum. EOS shows good results, but I see much more competitors to come.

[MedvedevVasilyS]

All people who are now in the market probably already have some tokens which they buy on ICO and because of the very big looses they don’t sell them. This is the reason why people do not invest their money in new ICO, and <new> money is not entering the market. Therefore, no one can raise soft cap/hard cap  for their project. Only with the Bull market everything will change.

[iljamlnk]

2018 brought great disappointments. Let's hope for the best that fraudulent schemes with ICOs in the coming year will be settled and verified.

[ginobitcoiner]

I do not agree if the ICO is in a state of dying. in fact, some ICOs that emerged this month are very reliable with a very good team that is very solid and has a very good and trusted company or platform goal.

[matico]

ICO will still be here even if people stop investing. The slow down in ICO investing has to do with downtrend in cryptocurrency market prices. Invedtors are been catious not to have their funds devalue!

[ub27]

The market started falling lower from June. And we look at the chart, it can also be seen that from June the ICO started to decline sharply and peak in September, the amount of money invested in ICO is only 1/10 compared to May, really bad for ICO

That's true investors are wiser now than before, but sometimes an even good project is having a hard time getting funded because of the so many ICO in the market, it's very diluted now, a good project is having a hard time competing with fraud ones.

[tmpwhore]

I think you need to open coinmarketcap and look at charts of all currencies, specially Ethereum. It costs 200$ and I say that mostly ICOs are based on it's blockchain ERC-20.

[Anicasalar]

ICOs are not reliable enough. When investors will be able to be protected during the ICOs, they will be ready to invest again, but not right now or in the nearest future.
