DO WE NEED TO REGULATE ICOs?

[kingpin4321]

With the very high scam rate in the initial coin offering I would surly be in full support to having initial coin offering regulated but if the security token offering can work out it would be a good alternative

[raptorez]

As I understand it, today there are really a large number of people who support the idea of ​​investing. Probably there is a need for this, as the scam projects have become very much. We need to try to do it.

whatever it is for the sake of crypto to be better then I think it should be tried as long as it makes sense, but every regulation must be fair to everyone so that it will not cause someone to be harmed especially investors because it can make investors less and less

[der_troll]

I think we will lose the main point of crypto currencies. For sure we need to find a way of how to protect investors from participating in scam projects, but it should be done with our own forces without any centralised party that would regulate the whole crypto world and make it centralised.

[Mr.Noda]

Regulation by the regulatory authorities is definitely needed. After all, this in turn will bring new big money to the market.

[ConvallAria]

Many people think that the regulation of ICOs can protect us from fraudsters. But I do not think so. It seems to me that the quality of ICOs will not improve in this case.

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

I think the ICOs really need regulations because this longest bear market is partly due to the numerous scam ICOs that has stolen a lot of investors money.

[Felipeo]

I really want a regulation on the icos market. Cause in last year many people and investors lost their money. Cause their are too many scam ICO in that market. They just looted general people. And there are many project which is good at ICO stage but in development stage they just failed . so if a regulation will come it will help out to choose the right project for me. I think regulation will help to decrease the bad icos entry. And this ecosystem will grow better than every.

[abstractednerve]

By following the recent ICO market, I think yes we need regulations to avoid the scam and fund losing! Like many ICO projects are turning into STO and that is the good decision right now! Because I don't want to invest in any ICOs, why should I go for losing my money by investing there? I don't have much money to waste or test my luck! That's why I will go through only STO this year, so personally, I think we need regulations.

[Teraboy]

Yes i like the idea about regulation for ico. There will be many benefit if ICO have a regulation. Like, investor will trust and spend their money on it. The number of scammer will decrease, and as bounty hunter will guarantee to be pay from company.

STO will solve all these problems and stop the ICO scam, and the fact shows that there are currently many ICO scam running because they still have not applied STO to their project

It will not solve anything from ico, How can you tell me which is the project that already registered on the regulators and which are not? In fact the regulation like verification will prevent the scam ico and that's the point.

[Gabali126]

Well i say yes! Currently there are so many projects with similar goals and visions and some of them even don't have the needed capacity and resources to see to the success of the project but yet still competes with the capable funds when funds are being raised. This has also increased the number of scam projects in the cryptospace and this is really tarnishing the image of crypto investment. Let's not forget that if men were angels there would be no need for laws. I am not talking of a Centralized Regulating Body but we can use the concept of masternodes and run a decentralized ICO regulating body. Let's explore all the possible ways of how we can actually curb this menace in the cryptospace.

I would also say yes. I would also like to insist that no crypto project should even conduct an ICO to launch a project. They should have the base capital required not using the ICO crowdfunding..

[cerberus5424]

I think that the regulation of ICO is definitely necessary for the cryptocurrency market and I hope that in 2019 the situation with ICO will change.

[andrei56]

of course it need, because it can greatly help to eliminated the scam and fake one ico, who nwant to cheated us.

That is what they are using to tempt people into accepting regulations but believe me nothing is going to be solved and we are going to have two problems, the first problem will be the scammers that will always find a way around the regulations and the other will be the regulations themselves that will not allow the freedom we have to invest in whatever project we want like what we have now.

[Xalata]

It is hard to say but i think regulation of ICOs is very necessary as this would help curb the the number of scam projects in the cryptospace. Again, i think people should also be enlightened about the investing into ICOs that actually have a working product or a real life asset backing the liquidity of its utility token.

A lot of unprofitable  ICO exist in the market  cause nobody have taking in-charge to hold them. But once we regulated, it could be a big hope that it will stop or it could be minimize its numbers. Mostly ICO's doesn't have a working product right now and it happens that after their selling periods they'll turn into a scam. It is our own decision to invest with them or not but for me, I won't take a move for them.

[jozhkesha]

It seems to me that regulation and crypto industry is impossible. I am fully confident that the government will not be able to affect the quality of some projects.

[Geenstijl]

ICO should be regulated and it will be so. STO should be a new type of legit ICOs with many legal requirements and maybe it will be as succeed as ICOs in 2017. I'd like this to be so, but the reality could differ a lot from what we want) In total I think that regulation is a positive thing for maturing of the crypto market.

[judeafante]

Anything that can stop scam ICO and for legit ICO to succeed is ok with I have a long run of bad ICO that I've participated in that I want a certain regulation if these continues the ICO industry will be ruin, good projects are pausing their campaign and so many scammed ICO coming up.

[Kulitha]

I think regulated version of ICO that called STO will solve these ICO scammers problems.When market recovering we will be able to see growth of STO rather than ICOs. So it will reduce scam projects.

Have you seen STO? and it seems like you have no point about what STO is. STO must registered on the regulators before you can call it a real STO. Latest STO called Bolton coin was being a scam STO. That means there was no a lot of differences in ico or STO.
