Most of the Icos are failing main reasons

[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

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.

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.

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 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.
