Most of the Icos are failing main reasons

[superstarbtc]

More and more cryptocurrencies are popping up. However, most of them are bound to fail for some of the reasons stated here.
-
1. Bad User Interface and User Experience. Tokens and other forms of altcoins hinder purchases and do not enable a hassle-free method for usability. It some cases, more resources are required to learn and use tokens.
-
2. Long-term value. It needs to have a strong use case. Most ICOs, STOs and Altcoins lack strong solution to real problems. Most are created as vehicles for fundings rather than utility tokens.
-
3. Economics or "tokenomics" are not properly designed such as circulation model or how to burn tokens properly.

[Jamesdila1]

agree with you. also most of projects do not have any working product so the investors do not give much attention to them. even i have seen icos with working product but they failed because of lack of marketing

[bitmover]

That's right, all of these are  reasons for the failing.

There are other ico that invest a lot in hype, try to appear they are going to make a lot of partnerships, and the Price goes up. Then later it just fail spectacularly.

In my experience, most of ico are just pump and dump... Of course there are many legit projects, but they are very few

[qazgroup]

I think there are dozens of icos that seem to be copying the concept of other projects, so they are failing because there is no real need or space of similar projects in the market at the moment, for success the ico should present a unique idea, competent team and a project with real use cases.

[kingzpro]

I do not think that most of the icos are failing rather i would say that funds raising has become difficult and that is because of bears in the overall market, investors are not making any profit from previous investments so simply they are not investing in new projects at the moment.

[SlavSL]

Yea, we need more reliable and quality projects and platforms, which stert the ICO, For now most of them have nothing but want millions of $...

[seo-maestro]

I think many ICOs are failing because they collect too much money so the team loses motivation to develop the project. They spend raised money and are lazy to make the product.

[passwordnow]

We can't deny that and all you said were all correct.

Most of ICOs really going to fail and they have a domino effect. Investors are learning too on how to survive on this market, investments are too volatile and ICOs that are shady should be avoided.

[dobladi]

Chances are high that it has something to do with the negative market behavior this year. The negative situation on the cryptomarket might be negatively affecting and influencing the outcome of the ICO projects no matter how huge the potential is. The proof to this are those projects which are postponing their crowdsale in order to avoid the negativity in the market. Let's just hope that things will be again better soon.

[Noobaru]

One of the main reasons is of course poor market conditions as well. I have seen many good projects fail, because they didn't get the funding and more importantly, they couldn't afford aggresive marketing campaigns like the big guys can, who don't have a problem getting funded.

[ambisyon]

In my understanding, most of the ICO's were just concentrated more on the token pre sale goal and roadmap right after the pre sale was out of time. Not being able to meet the softcap will result to another extended pre token sale due to poor marketing from the team members. Less people had been eager to join the bounty campaign where it lack some good features of the project platform which has a negative impact to the project.

[Osayo]

2. Long-term value. It needs to have a strong use case. Most ICOs, STOs and Altcoins lack strong solution to real problems. Most are created as vehicles for fundings rather than utility tokens.
-
3. Economics or "tokenomics" are not properly designed such as circulation model or how to burn tokens properly.

This two reasons are very important, a created token is supposed to solve at least one real life problem, but that has not been the case. But there may not always be need to burn tokens. Take note of this.

[Cryptomilz]

ICOs are failing are failing because of all the reasons you've stated and the fact that investors are becoming increasingly critical of projects. Many are no longer following the hype behind ICOs, nor are they falling for populated ICO telegram groups with falsified figures. So the fear of losing even further is making a lot of ICOs dead upon arrival.

[cchub]

ICOs are failing because investors are paying way too much for the tokens although the value of the tokens is not so much.

[poodle63]

We can't deny that and all you said were all correct.

Most of ICOs really going to fail and they have a domino effect. Investors are learning too on how to survive on this market, investments are too volatile and ICOs that are shady should be avoided.

All of the things that already mentioned by OP are correct. Remember there was another reason that gives a huge impact to the ico price. most of them are offering a lot of bonus to the pre-sale investors. It looks not fair to see the pre-sale gets up tp 50% and then the sale participants get 5% bonus. it's around 10x

[BarneyXC]

Yes they are some of the reasons behind the failure. Also non delivery of the final working product, inexperienced developers team, lack of promotion and marketing are the reasons. And in some cases the developer team themselves abandons the project.

[Davidbaecker]

You have presented the reason behind the failure in a analytical way. There is however another fact which is the down market. Now the market is down and investors are leaving any project that shows even a hint of loss. As a result a lot of projects with potential is failing.

[Rey Mysterio]

There are a lot of small and big reasons together that usually cause the fall off for an ICO. The core of these problems being but not limited to such as, the idea that the project is based on, how well it can be implemented for real life use and their strategy to make it all happen is full proof or not. The teams capabilities and their ability to be responsive to their investors on their inquiries to ensure their trust on the team. And even then it's not just all on the project, people who invest in their tokens if they dump as soon as it is listed will obviously cause thr project to suffer. There are a lot of factors for us to understand that dictate the success and failure of an ICO.

[anggriani]

all fields or ideas or have the same purpose and not based on actual usage. we can see from some of the ico that has been completed and only a few can survive and meet the expectations of everyone, the rest are not developed and are only traded on exchange without developing a real product that they promise. all these things make investors bored and leave ico.

[lelahkenabanned]

the project's level of maturity is highly doubtful by potential investors and incorrect assumptions from developers about prioritizing ico funding for further coin applications.

Making ico that seems raw and too quickly enters the investment phase makes the ico ecosystem fall apart because it is too much present like this.

they must prepare everything including partners and participate in various events before being thrown into public funding. At a minimum, there must be research for a full year to ensure that their projects can be applied in actual use.

[LingoMaster]

By Murphy's law, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"
A crap ICO is doomed to fail one way or the other.

Like the real world, the real Gem & Gold are rare,
investors just need to learn to distinguish the difference between Gold & Fool's Gold.

A real nice ICO with potential and future should have ...

1.A working product prototype instead of just Dream
2.The ICO need a Token/Coin to fix a real existing problem.
3.A lot of user to burned the Token/Coin in this ecosystem.

Check their whitepaper and you will know the reason why those ICOs failed!

[Rati24]

Yes, such reasons exist in many ico projects that came out this year or earlier. Projects create platforms that nobody needs and they all look like each other. Some create good platforms that are necessary to say so, but they have problems such as registration is too difficult and the interface is too complex for beginners. All these factors influence the final cost of the token in the future.

[Lerikaweb]

Some projects are too underworked on the day they start the crowdfunding. People are too lazy and greedy, this is why I'm scared to see the community of decentralization.

[Bittalk12]

Those things you mentioned are some of the reasons why most ICOs nowadays are failing and give you a thumbs up for that. In iver a year i spent in crypto industry and watching those ICOs during fund raising, most of them do not actually have an actual product that could benefit us or make their altcoin to be used as a payment with that product. That's why their tokens are having hard time to be recognized and multiply its price.

[bagikoin]

many of the ICO appear without a definite concept and even just target the hype for the sake of personal gain. It's certainly become a bad thing and certainly, much ICO failed because of those reasons. selective in ICO to this is something that should be a priority. building on the Foundation of the concept of the ICO and a quality team is the thing to do.

[Braeden Hahn]

The specifics are good. But it has to be reached out to the providers and they must follow these instructions. The investors won't be able to fix this unless they try their own providing.

[kincit88]

Agree with you, most of the project forgot about your point and that's the reason why a lots of ico's falling. We really need very carefully when want to invest in icos because the situation of this year isn't good for people's who want to invest in ico's.

[Kasen Matthews]

Agree with you. All of these are reasons for the falling. Also most of projects do not have any working product so the investors do not give much attention to them. Of course there are many legit projects,but they are very few.

[spngebob]

I would add more reasons why ICO's will fail, investors left these market because they lose money investing in projects which fail or run off, another reason is that everything is already seen, it seem there is no too much new ideas and investors don't want to invest money in old idea which is repeating over and over again.

[r_delossa]

The market is falling and everything depends on BTC. We are losing a lot of people, because of too long bearish run. We need another pump and another wave of great investors, that could bring the market on new hights.

[ecnalubma]

Its important to evaluate every investment that we wanted to participate into specially ICO’s. That’s the risk involved and not all business end up successful, Even the projects are too good and had great team market situation is sometimes a concern but doesn’t mean that those projects are losing value as long as the development continues it will positively survive in the end.

[jossiel]

Forget the bad user interface, regardless of how good the user interface but the project is totally crap no one will stay and going to invest with that coin.

Trend is changing as time passes by and people are learning that ICOs are only giving space to the scammers out there. Things will change soon and there will be new develop way of crowdfunding in a safer way.

[Betwrong]

That's right, all of these are  reasons for the failing.

There are other ico that invest a lot in hype, try to appear they are going to make a lot of partnerships, and the Price goes up. Then later it just fail spectacularly.

In my experience, most of ico are just pump and dump... Of course there are many legit projects, but they are very few

I've noticed that many ICOs are lying about their partnership with famous companies. In some cases it is so straightforward that after clicking on a company's link you are redirected to a fake site. People should research a little bit more before starting working for an ICO or investing in it. But, like you said, there many legit projects as well. Btw, I think ICOs which invest a lot in hype are mostly good ones. The worst projects are those which don't invest much in anything.

[mayan251]

You're right. Now the cost of creating an altcoins, tokens is very low. So they are all financing and raising funds. However, it has forgotten the practical use of creating a altcoins, tokens. And there are so many fraudulent projects. So this has created the present situation. Many projects are hard to raise funds.

[xianbits]

Not to mention that there are ICOs who were run by scammers. Too good if it happens that the truth is revealed in an early stage. But yes, I agree a working product is a good indicator for its success.

[cherryganda]

There are many ICO who are just a scam.
This also affect the credibility of other legit project.
Investors are afraid to join some ICO even they are legit because of the situation in ICO investment.

[dataispower]

That's right, all of these are  reasons for the failing.

There are other ico that invest a lot in hype, try to appear they are going to make a lot of partnerships, and the Price goes up. Then later it just fail spectacularly.

In my experience, most of ico are just pump and dump... Of course there are many legit projects, but they are very few

Agree with you, There are many good ICO and have true partner, it will surely succeed and the price will go up. But there are also a lot of scam ICOs with fake partner info. I see right now there are so many ICOs with huge partners, but it still fails because they are fake. Be careful with ICOs now, too scam

[tramadols]

I agree to the second and third statement.
most ico do not survive in the long run, and the level of difficulty to increase the value of the token.
the team and developer do not run progress according to white paper, especially the road map

[milewilda]

More and more cryptocurrencies are popping up. However, most of them are bound to fail for some of the reasons stated here.
-
1. Bad User Interface and User Experience. Tokens and other forms of altcoins hinder purchases and do not enable a hassle-free method for usability. It some cases, more resources are required to learn and use tokens.
-
2. Long-term value. It needs to have a strong use case. Most ICOs, STOs and Altcoins lack strong solution to real problems. Most are created as vehicles for fundings rather than utility tokens.
-
3. Economics or "tokenomics" are not properly designed such as circulation model or how to burn tokens properly.

Talking generally this is the most precise reason why we do see failures of these projects even upto now.We dont actually see the true "PURPOSE" of such token creation plus also having the bear market
plus scam projects then no doubt it would really resulted on this way.There's no need to have lots of tokens in the market without having no definite purpose or aims.

[felissss500@gmail.com]

The viability of altcoins depends on the performance of the project team, and the usefulness and importance of the project itself. and customer focus. That is, the buyer must see the potential of the coin.
from poop do not blind candy

[Benarand]

Now most ISO have no idea of the future. Everyone wants to collect a lot of money just by copying other projects. Doing simple money collecting. Especially now there is such a situation that there is almost no confidence in the projects.

[BGanio]

I thınk there are two important thing about that firstly they are trying to collecting big amount of money and after that they are not helping their won coins financial situation in exchanges with that huge amount of money . and the market situation is the other factor

[faza13]

it is absolutely true, most projects do not have work products and even investors don't pay too much attention. While there are sometimes ICOs with functioning products but they fail because of lack of marketing
  Fundraising has become difficult and that is because so many investors do not benefit from previous investments so that only they do not invest in new projects at this time.

[Iykecollinz]

I should think that the market share for crypto especially at this point is equally responsible and affecting the value of other coins, it seems at this point there are no new investors and because of this only those who had previously bought have the prices drop as more people do not buy on exchange

[santouao]

Nice summing up some of the issues for ico failing. This is true the fundamentals they have sometime not enough to support the project. Ive been here in crypto for a while and I can say that most ICOs have failed due to the mentioned reasons. One thing that didnt add up was the team action. Most projects with a good team and hardworking people for the project usually thrive their ICO even lots of fud issuing arround. I can see why they failed and not due to their lack of experience but a skill to properly market their product. A good marketing must have many plans to promote their projects even with a bearish market like this.

[bartolo]

I think the first thing we have to take into account before making any analysis is the general market situation because it has impacted ICOs in several ways. For new ICOs it has been much more difficult to raise funds and existing projects that launched an ICO successfully have seen how their funds have been devaluated, which has reduced their budgets.

Do you think that the down market plays major role in ICOs failures? I think the market situation has contributed to it, but only a small part. What matters most is the hard truth that most ICOs in the past had already died down and didn't prosper. Many investors already lost a lot in ICOs in the past. This is the main reason, I think, why investors are moving away from ICOs.

[spike420211]

I think the main reason for the failure of projects is not their viability, namely, weak ideas that are not in demand in the market. Most projects carry out ICO only for the sake of money.

[Dimm_bounty13]

I completely agree with you. I don't see the point in creating similar projects. The market is overturned with different kinds of projects. There's nothing new but secondary ideas, weak teams, and scam. As for me, the ICO is really in crisis. Let's wait and see what's next!

[hotforblockchain]

It has nothing to do with token economics or metrics or any other tokenics.
If they have rised money they can work for a long time whatever the token price, token price is a concern for investors and this is something else.

They fail as other startups , ICo has not changed fundamentals of startups - 95% FAIL.

[grumpy619]

The Golden time is over when 99% of the ICOs, even with an extremely dubious idea, collected the hardcap.  Not now, but it's for the best. Investors have become smarter, stopped believing in eternal growth. I have noticed that projects that create a new generation of blockchains or solve global financial and environmental problems are now successful. For example, investments in green energy or a pension fund on blockchain.

[l10no]

that is very true, the ICO is only utilized as funding, if the ICO is successful they no longer think about the fate of investors and prize hunters, if the ICO is not successful they also leave it, like running away without cause and effect

[ramsankadirov1345]

agree with you. also most of projects do not have any working product so the investors do not give much attention to them. even i have seen icos with working product but they failed because of lack of marketing

Everything is right. Much on it investors pay swindlers attention to projects which already have a ready-made product or it is developed on a half. Already nobody wants to invest money in empty promises.

[aencarnaci]

Not to mention that there are ICOs who were run by scammers. Too good if it happens that the truth is revealed in an early stage. But yes, I agree a working product is a good indicator for its success.

I honestly don't think they are scamming people, I mean there was the dude that took everyone money and ran with it and left the website with "penis" written on it to troll the investors. That dude definitely did scam everyone and just recently we have seen that Pearl owner has printed a lot more pearls for himself and sold all of it causing the price to plummet and than ran with all the bitcoin he made from the sale. There are scam stories like that all the time but they are probably just 10% of all ICO stories. Rest of it, the 90% is actually teams that can't manage to run a proper business and actually succeed on being the ICO they promised to be. They either try and fail or they are too lazy to actually do it. All of them fail at what they suppose to do not because they are "bad" people but because they suck at what they do.

The viability of altcoins depends on the performance of the project team, and the usefulness and importance of the project itself.

But many people are not bothering about these but rushing to start a new ICO just to loot innocent people's money. There are two category of failing in ICOs : failure due to improper management and intentional scams. Improper management include the factors you have mentioned and the other category is just about what most people here are referring.

[bitcoinsoul]

one of the main reasons this year ico failed is because of interdependency ico tokens are dependent on eth price both btc and eth price fall the new upcoming tokens prices are efforted badly so because of this interdependency projects developments are efforted in large

most ico do not survive in the long run. Try to see there are a lot of altcoins that don't have a fair price and become the next shitcoin to be dumped. that's why if you want to invest in ICO it must be thoroughly researched and analyzed. use your logic, look for one that truly has team quality, products and technology

some ico fail due to many causes. the development team and the product become the separator between succeeding in having a high score or being an altcoin that was left like you said.
I am more interested in ico who has technology and products. and for now there are so many ico that have the same base namely financial systems such as banking and I doubt that

[Eugenar]

In my opinion, ICO projects are failing simply because of the influence of the negative market behavior. The market value of cryptos as we can see are continuously falling right now which highly influences the outcome of the projects resulting to some to be postponed and be delayed. Investors are also lacking interest to invest because due to the negative market, they would more likely lose profit from doing so.

[EdenHazard]

There are many ICO who are just a scam.
This also affect the credibility of other legit project.
Investors are afraid to join some ICO even they are legit because of the situation in ICO investment.

The ICO project scam indeed will affect the views of every investor, even though there are some ICO projects that are really legit out there but still will be seen by some investors that all ICOs are no longer worthy of being used as investment sites. They will switch to investing in several coins that have no doubt their potential such as bitcoin and ethereum.

And another reason is the continuing decline in cryptocurrency or bearish market prices, they will think that with a lot of project scams and the fall of tokens price when the has been listed on the exchange will make them think deeper. I myself was very concerned about ICO differences in the past year and now, in the past year we were taken very far by the ICO project but at this time the ICO project has dropped us to the deepest place.

[miyaka26]

ICOs are failing because investors are paying way too much for the tokens although the value of the tokens is not so much.

Investors are basically complaining about the fall of the tokens price when it is released to an exchange, well its normal now to witness such fall to its price that why some investors don't want to buy it from a token sale stage, they got cheaper offers from exchange release specifically if the campaign has bounty or they have given tons of discount and bonuses from token sale.

[sirminesalot]

the success and failure of an ico depends on a team, ico fails may be due to lack of interest, unclear origin and a less sophisticated team. this year a lot of ico failed because they only wanted money from raising funds and were not serious about running the project so many were deceived.

Denis is very difficult to analyze data on certain projects, especially when hidden team names. In fact, this situation gives rise to a lot of suspicion, even if the project looks very promising.

[CowboyX]

agree with you. also most of projects do not have any working product so the investors do not give much attention to them. even i have seen icos with working product but they failed because of lack of marketing

Most projects want to take advantage of cryptocurrency popularity for bad purposes. Now there are many projects that will only adversely affect the market. therefore, you should choose the right project before investing your money in it. I use the websites of ICO project ratings and select the highest quality projects.

[Rana590]

Bitcoin and ethereum are connecting in this sector. Most of the crypto currency are depending on ethereum and bitcoin directly or indirectly. On the other hand, for a successful ico and leading a potential coin, a strong team should be needed. Good concept and idea also can be helpful.

[Saint1990]

The fundraising by ICOs in quarter 3 of 2018 is declining due to trust issues as there have been lot of scam ICOs exposed or the already ICOs which closed their token sales runaway with the money if investors. We are  facing bear market since 10months and this also can be the reason of failing of ICOs.

[irsykes]

agree with you. also most of projects do not have any working product so the investors do not give much attention to them. even i have seen icos with working product but they failed because of lack of marketing

Even not all, we can't deny that a lot of project only come for free money. After listed on exchanger, they wouldn't care anymore with their project and it can be see from some project that have not update their development like what their Roadmap says.

[jhonjhon]

the success and failure of an ico depends on a team, ico fails may be due to lack of interest, unclear origin and a less sophisticated team. this year a lot of ico failed because they only wanted money from raising funds and were not serious about running the project so many were deceived.

ICO's toady seemingly get money below softcap due to market condition and its credibility in which could lead them not to continue their project development and some others just extend their selling periods just catch up those minimum amount be needing. But it is sad that some ICO owners and team behind never give their promises to the investors which could made them angry and their afraid of losing again that's why they'll never put their money in crypto for now.

[VieleSind]

One more thing to say about the failure of the ICO is the economic situation as well as the impact of other markets. If an ICO launching project was just in time to market down the market cap, then, of course, the exchange rate of the Token will also decline, leading to the project failure soon.

[kotajikikox]

    Here is the following causes and effects why more icos are failings
# bearish market trend in almost a year
# project scamms
# fake news
That three main reason why most of the icos project are failed base on my analysis 😀

[AlexandrInt]

3. Economics or "tokenomics" are not properly designed such as circulation model or how to burn tokens properly.

Because there is no original idea, but everything is created as a clone. And about the long-term implementation, well, it all depends on the project managers and their abilities, and of course the collected investment funds. Of course,  need to introduce regulation in order to weed out many of them for some basic reasons, otherwise chaos can begin.

[karankamaze]

the problem is about crypto trends that do not improve and continue to emerge ICO without being able to be controlled, if indeed they are strong about the development and even partnership of several financial companies, it must be mature and not look at the overall crypto economy conditions

the most important is the application of their projects on the market which connotes non-shares directly, profit is also determined from the business they intend directly to consumers.

[sinkfish]

I think many ICOs are failing because they collect too much money so the team loses motivation to develop the project. They spend raised money and are lazy to make the product.

or they reached their target and no point of continuing.

[sinkfish]

    Here is the following causes and effects why more icos are failings
# bearish market trend in almost a year
# project scamms
# fake news
That three main reason why most of the icos project are failed base on my analysis 😀

too bad, many promising project fall victim.

In my opinion, the ICOs fail because there is big risk in investing in the type of asset that does not promise guaranteed profits. Though the turnouts might not be promised in the good coins as well but the project matters a lot and a rational man can always smell the good project.

So i think it’s not worth investing in the ICOs that does not give back the returns you deserve and that is the reason why the business has gone down. Instead, one should rather invest in good assets.

The market is not currently in favourable conditions and that is the major reason why icos are also failing.  The investors sentiment is very low and that was as a result of the big loses that they have incurred by investing into icos in the past.

[Pattart]

Thats right, the lack of investor interest is certainly influenced by how hard efforts the team's in conducting promotions, not explain in detail the project ideas they have, or the poor innovations they carry. so investors are less interested in their ico projects, then they failed..

[pageraji]

Not have a real product and massive adoption on real business thats why ICO seems like dump and pump scheme in exchange, so many failed program or not working roadmap i find in many ICO's

[Cnut237]

Yes some ICOs are for pointless projects, but there is a lot of genuine useful stuff out there as well. A big factor is that crypto has been in a bearish trend all year. Raising money at ICO even for a good project is a lot harder now than it was in say summer 2017 - back then it seemed that any project at all could raise millions, and ICOs could hit hardcap in a matter of minutes. Everything is a lot less feverish now. It is harder for good projects to get off the ground.

The competitions are really tough a lots of projects are just a copy of those existing one and most of those who's trying to duplicate won't get any
concrete supports coming from people who are one's an investors of ico's, the battlefield is no longer as easy as like the year ago, now projects needs
to provide advancement and real usage in order to gain supports from investors.

[COPARTT23]

For a successful project it is not enough just to have an interesting new idea. You need to have competent team members who could put it into practice. I think those who simply copy someone else's project are obviously trying to cheat

More and more cryptocurrencies are popping up. However, most of them are bound to fail for some of the reasons stated here.
-
1. Bad User Interface and User Experience. Tokens and other forms of altcoins hinder purchases and do not enable a hassle-free method for usability. It some cases, more resources are required to learn and use tokens.
-
2. Long-term value. It needs to have a strong use case. Most ICOs, STOs and Altcoins lack strong solution to real problems. Most are created as vehicles for fundings rather than utility tokens.
-
3. Economics or "tokenomics" are not properly designed such as circulation model or how to burn tokens properly.

I think you have a point here with your list, Bad User-interface, Tokenomics is one that is given me more concern now because when ICO started team use to keep just between 10-20% of the tokens but what we seen now is that 70% of these tokens are in the hands of the people and they start dumping on investors. I think another issue you need to mention is the issue of full transparency, they don't usually come out with full details of the funds and bonus percentages givency to private sale investors

The second point is by far the most important, we have seen many coins becoming successful despite this market lack of maturity, and even if a coin did not gave the best user experience it could still survive if the project was any good, but most coins only exist to get the money and nothing else so they do not solve any problems that we may have.

The market is not currently in favourable conditions and that is the major reason why icos are also failing.  The investors sentiment is very low and that was as a result of the big loses that they have incurred by investing into icos in the past.

Well, we can as well just consider last year as the year of ICO boom, all because a lot of newbies hit the market, some really had no understanding of how to even deal with the market and they just started buying everything they see because they wanted to get rich, which is something we are beginning to see differently right now.

For now, even though we have some that will never learn, a lot of people have, and because of that, they have either mellowed when it comes to investing in ICOs, or probably now know what to look out for before deciding to put their funds into it. If it is not worth investing, then there is no need risking it.

[jardine]

ICO is just a start-ups and, like a usual start-ups, 95% of them dying very quick (most of them - in the first year).
Only strong and good one stay alive.

Also, here is so many scams in ICO - so it can be just a scam from a very beginning.

I have seeing utility tokens that are also falling also.  Many icos are falling because of the ways market is now. Many investors are lose very high significant amounts of fund in icos projects that turned to be scam one.  Investors are discouraged and to me this is the reason why icos are failing.  I could remember some utility tokens like dav that look very promising but currently the values in the market is seriously discouraging.

Also, here is so many scams in ICO - so it can be just a scam from a very beginning.

In any case, to maintain even a more or less promising project, investments are needed. And today, due to the large number of fraudsters and the poor state of the cryptocurrency market, almost the majority of investors prefer to buy coins on the stock exchange, and not during the company’s ico.

[KGBx]

I think that ICOs failed because their initiators were way too greedy and they overflowed the market with their aimless projects.

[Harriti]

I think it's really difficult to find out a successful project at this time cause almost ICO projects' dev team always think that their project are really good so they often set softcap and hardcap too high while crypto market situation is really terrible because of downward trend and investors are holding instead of investing so almost ICO projects fail in this period is not something strange.

The problem with most of these ICOs, they really don't have a start up project that will pursue. They have a whitepaper, road map and other things needed.

But if you'll check them fully, they don't have a company and start up that is in process. This has been proven for many of them are scam.

The market is in dump and nobody wants to risk it for the mean time since they knew that it can still increase in price, maybe those project that only worth investing will be given a chance, tho since the price of some coins doesn't really increase and sometimes even get dumoer that makes the ICO too long to succeed.

[zhengqi]

You can also add that many projects simply can not offer anything new unique. There is a copy of ready-made ideas with minor changes. Or else offer a very complicated to implement ideas. In any case, running ICO is a very complicated procedure and requires the professionalism of the team and developers.

[quandong]

The market is decreasing which is the main reason leading to many ICOS being delayed or failed. Developers feel discouraged when their projects are unsuccessful and without funding. I am hoping the market will rebound at the end of year and the good things will come to ICO.

It mught be the market itself and not the ICOs. Projects are being dragged down due to the negative market behavior which scares the investors to do their thing which results to failure on the projects' crowdsale. We may expect for changes but keep in mind that we cannot determine when will recovery happen in the market so just be patient.

People just like simple and there are times when the purchase of tokens requires much effort that's why some just don't want to get involved with the complications and find another investment opportunity that is easier.

2. Long-term value. It needs to have a strong use case. Most ICOs, STOs and Altcoins lack strong solution to real problems. Most are created as vehicles for fundings rather than utility tokens.

This is what most of the coins/tokens lack because some of their ideas are so idealistic that it is hard for the investors to realized how in demand the token will be in the future and besides that, the token may just be use in a specific field that has a low demand that would discourage the investors.

[labilaab]

True. In addition to what you said, the lack of update of the project also to announced to project’s followers that made them question and will later leave the project.The project should stick to what their whitepaper and Roadmap states and give update to telegram or any medium they can express to public so that their reputation grow stronger despite how great their project is.

[beerlover]

    Here is the following causes and effects why more icos are failings
# bearish market trend in almost a year
# project scamms
# fake news
That three main reason why most of the icos project are failed base on my analysis 😀

In my opinion, the ICOs fail because there is big risk in investing in the type of asset that does not promise guaranteed profits. Though the turnouts might not be promised in the good coins as well but the project matters a lot and a rational man can always smell the good project.

So i think it’s not worth investing in the ICOs that does not give back the returns you deserve and that is the reason why the business has gone down. Instead, one should rather invest in good assets.

Apart from the big risk when it comes to investing, a lot of the investors are now beginning to get smart and now know what they should be doing before investing in any project at all.

Of course, this is something we have to understand that there is no way you can get the best in anything if you do not have the knowledge to deal with that environment, which I believe in this case, a lot of people over time have learned from their mistakes and have made it a priority to always dig deeper before investing in any project, so a project these days without a good qualified team and most especially MVP with potential, is only going to end up failing.

That s true. Many ICO just want to get easy money without any meaningful project.

All you need now - it s a big, 50-pages, whitepaper, with many technical blockchain terms; good looking design;
smiling faces of founders, without any expertise, linked to linkedin or fake facebook profiles and telegram channel,
with hired 1-2 admins on the part-time basis.

And you fully set and ready to take money

[putrii]

usually ICO prices will fall when their project is not in line with expectations and does not match what was planned in the whitepaper, making ico participants prefer to sell their assets at low prices.

[YoungMaster]

I think number two is true. Many icos that were failed actually brought a concept without problem solving to the world. I'm sure most investors will definitely avoid an ico that has no real usage.

[TheReverend]

in my opinion the main cause is the falling btc price which affects the value of all altcoins, because all altcoins follow the btc price so it's only natural.
all the new ico coins that came out the price dropped above 60%, which shows that BTC plays an important role in the growth of altcoins.
so no matter how high the increase in altcoin is, he will also decline if the BTC experiences a drastic decline.

it's true what you say because all altcoin prices are influenced by the rise and fall of bitcoin prices, so the price of bitcoin is one of the reasons for the fall in ICO prices after listing in the market and the other cause in my opinion is the dump factor of the coin holder.

[yugyug]

Most ICOs are a start-up company and most of their products or services are more on conceptualization rather than materialization and most of them had no actual product or existing services that will lead a fearsome or doubtfulness of an investor if the project may fail. IMHO, it would take around 2 years to create a working product from a start-up ICO company they need a funding first before launching an actual product that's why their token price will not pump swiftly after the token sale and get listed on notable exchange. It failed because most of the investors are impatient to wait they are justing looking after the profit but not supporting the product as well. The best option of not failing the price is to wait or hold for about 1 to 2 years before stabilizing the product and their token.

I think that the reasons for the fall in prices can be found somewhat. First of all, this is weak investor activity, because it is investments that give a good impetus to the development of ico projects.

The items you counted for the first periods are correct. And then the main goal was fraud. There's no need to invest in any ICO who doesn't use legal regulation and smart contracts. This will increase the confidence of the ICO.

[ohkkstaaahp]

Nowadays, ICO projects are scams, they grow in the market without anyone controlling them, so I think the market will soon get rid of those projects, in the future we Raise your knowledge and boycott the project as such

Today, on the ico market, companies have a rather difficult situation and the fact that projects are not developing does not need to see a team or a lack of investment. But because of the poor development of projects, everyone suffers, including participants in the Bounty company.

[moneymakescents777]

Some ICO's now present better value after listing that at the ICO stage.  An example would be CANYA Coin - CAN.  It listed around .74USD with no product to market, its now 0.058USD with products to market.  Sometimes waiting till after a coin list is much better value.  See chart here for an example of low volume and entry point into CANYA COIN CAN.  https://imgur.com/tTYjKgt

[CowboyX]

everything is very simple. people see that the cryptocurrency market is very interesting for investors, and there are large investments here, and they use it for fraudulent purposes. I myself have several times stumbled upon fraudulent projects that look like quite working and high-quality projects. each ICO needs to be disassembled and monitored in detail how cash collections go

[johnwest]

The main reason is having very less credibility. The teams are not thinking through their ideas, thats why most of the coins get re branded or model changed after the token sale or teams wont even list their coins then how will the investors know the actual value of their project.

Because all these are forks and clones, but there is practically no real team, there are no new ideas, the main thing is to collect more money to spit out an inconvenient product, which is soon forgotten by everyone and goes to the level of Shitcoin, that's all. Now everyone does not think about quality, but about quantity.

[jawakoak]

Most ICOs fall when hit on market because on presale they offer big discount more than 50 percent, i think so many ICO just dump and pump scheme by dev.

it is very true what you say in your opinion with you giving such understanding, perhaps investors can be more careful in choosing quality ICO and of course will benefit

[Yabuy92]

That's right, all of these are  reasons for the failing.

There are other ico that invest a lot in hype, try to appear they are going to make a lot of partnerships, and the Price goes up. Then later it just fail spectacularly.

In my experience, most of ico are just pump and dump... Of course there are many legit projects, but they are very few

he was right, in many cases ICOs appeared only at the beginning of the sales skyrocketing but the prices fell long ago. not to mention because of the seriousness of the developer in continuing the project

[serizawa]

agree with you. there are hundreds of ico fail because they don't have the criteria you mentioned and indeed the crypto market is still in a difficult period so investors also don't want to invest in ico.

[Boysisig207608]

Most of the ICOs are failing because their ICOs doesn't have any impact in our daily life and with the uprising of many fake and fraud ICOs in the crypto market today many of the crypto investors and enthusiast grow cold towards ICOs nowadays making crypto market go cold also.

At some point I agree but not all ico's are bound to fail. There are lots of ico which are successful nowadays and we if we look at the CMC there are thousands of coins and tokens which are already successful, but It does not mean they are not bound to fail., I mean they project development takes months to years for completion that's why they have roadmaps.
