DO WE NEED TO REGULATE ICOs?

[PROdotBITCOIN]

It seems to me that regulation will not make these projects better. But it seems to me that this will hinder the development of this industry. That is why I am against state regulation of cryptocurrency.

Of course, regulators will not influence the quality of projects and will not work better, but over time, ICO will only have working projects, and ICO will rarely have non-working projects if there is regulation in this area.

Regulation of ICO activities is a must. Without the regulation of the ICO projects by the states, the activities of the ICO simply cannot be revived. Only government agencies will be able to effectively deal with fraud in ICO projects, protect the rights of investors and bounty hunters and deal with the KYC verification, which is now arbitrarily carried out by ICO teams.
Regulation of the activities of ICO needed to be introduced a few years ago; now we would not have such a pitiful result in this type of activity.

For me its a yes! ICO should be regulated and well manage or diocumented.
There are so many scam project launched in this community, we should stop those as investors are getting afraid of investing their money even it is a good project.

[shakesbear]

It seems to me the ICO market is coming to an end, right now it is very difficult to find an interesting project. At conferences or exhibitions you won't find the stand of a new ICO project. I think there is no need for regulation anymore.

[tranduong123]

We should have stricter regulations on ICO, which will help reduce fraud projects.

Cryptocurrency has become like a fashion. Everybody wants to involve in cryptocurrency and make money and get riches overnight. But I think more than this is cryptocurrency which has been introduced to this world with the motive to change the lives of the general people. But some opportunistic are taking it the wrong way and trying to mess it. Regulations are the only want to curb it.

In my opinion you need to do away with the idea of regulation of cryptocurrency and ICO. Cryptocurrencies should be free from any regulation, the market itself will be able to get rid of scams and support only really working projects that benefit people.

and how to protect gullible people from scams and liars? I agree with the concept that the cryptocurrency should be more liberal and even an anarchist than everything else in this world, but there must be some leverage to protect your investment from fraud.

Once I thought crypto doesn't need regulation, Crypto's nature is decentralization so it should remain decentralized. But after seeing a lot of scam ICOs, Now I think ICO projects needs regulation. Personally, I will not invest any more in ICO if they don't have regulations. And I know a lot of people make the same decision because no one wants to take more risks in this bear market. To avoid scam, ICO should be regulated.

[gunhell16]

We dont need to regulate ICO anymore.
What we should do is to stay away from it as many group pf projects are just doing scam and we have no assurance on our sides.
What we need to have is the IEO, and it should be regulated and get better.

If there is no law, innocent people get hurt. Offenders run free. That's why regulations are needed to protect the investor. However, the right regulation should not be biased. Many regulations in the financial world are stifling new startups. This created an oligarchy by the banking sector.

[Starfranko]

Regulation is a fantastic idea not just because of too many projects with contiguous objects and goals but because of the avalanche of scams that have been going on within the crypto-currencies ecosystem . All options should be explored and exploited

I also agree that we do not to regulate ICO, but far too many people get scammed and dupe because of lack of regulation, staying away from ICO is more probable solution to avoid getting scammed, Regulation will help stop scam ICOs.

Regulation is very important so far as ICO's are concerned, and many are moving away from ICO project due  to the possibility of being scammed by ICO projects. Many are now interested in IEO's more than ICO's because ICO's are not regulated. Only regulation alone can help in the rise of ICO's again because regulation comes along with confidence for the investor. ICO's truly need to be regulated.

[EXtremeAEX]

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 believe that it is ICO that is most in need of regulation. In general, I'm opposed to the regulation of cryptocurrencies. But the reality is that it is at the ICO stage that the main cases of fraud occur. And if a person’s first acquaintance with cryptocurrencies occurs through a fraudulent ICO, then this has very unpleasant consequences for both the person and the future cryptocurrencies as a whole.

ICO loss it's popularity because of the fact that it's hard to regulate the ICO, if I'm a regulator, I would prefer the new platform which is the IEO as it's easier to regulate, you just have to look at the exchanges and let the exchanges do their job because if not, they will be sanction with big penalties.
With that, it's assured that the authority will be effective since there is no exchange that wants to be sanction and penalize that could possibly loss their business, so they will be careful in listing IEO and that is good to general investors.

[Punamidin]

I am cool with regulation of ICOs but I am only concerned about how effective that will be in curbing the excesses of most crypto projects out there today.l, plus IEOs are taking over so I doubt if we will still need to do that, what I want regulated are crypto exchanges

[Dimkpakpa]

It's long overdue, but I still think that should have been done a long time ago though, seeing as ICOs are no longer the in thing at the moment, regulating them might just be a waste of time and precious energy

[spydee1522]

truly icos need to be regulated in other for it to rise from been dead with the initiation of ieos. Icos are dead now and no investor wish to invest in ico projects where scam it prominent and can happen anytime. For icos to stand up again from where it has fallen, it needs to be regulated to give investors trust to invest in it.
