DO WE NEED TO REGULATE ICOs?

[abstractednerve]

I will say yes too! At this moment, We need regulations for ICOs! If you asked this question in 2017 then I would've said No! But from the 2018 ICO projects are being reckless! I agree with you that same vision, the same goal even same website theme in many ICOs! All those words are well written on websites and whitepaper but no output in reality! These ICOs are damaging the potential of crypto space!

This problem obviously should be solved in the near future. Maybe it won't be the best solution. But if the market will cease to appear so many scams it will be a clear plus

Special arrangements for ICO have not been done because crypto itself is decentralized, but now it has started to improve with the existence of KYC on the ICO and also new exchanges which will reduce fraud and other scams.

this is complicated because crypto adheres to a decentralized system so that no one can regulate it even the government, therefore it will be very difficult to make regulations that make all ICOs want to do regulations because there is no highest institution to obey, and if the institution is made so that every ICO want to obey, then decentralization will disappear

Yes, this is highly needed. I don't want an entire regulation of Cryptocurrency industry but ICOs really to be regulated either by the industry or government but I prefer an automated system regulation that will be able to protect the interest of investors and force team of projects to be responsible for their actions and inactions.

highly needed but tough to implement. since the use of crypto is global, who will serve as the regulatory body? this is the reason why there are so many icos created everyday as theres no one who can streamline the ico process and remove the potential scammers

[Yourodiviy]

Of course yes. Any regulations are good and lead to stabilization in the regulated area. And stability attracts large funds for investment.

It is very to see that this space has a lot of scams especially the new projects created but we can't complain so much since we are in a decentralized system, I just think that even we don't regulate ICO's at least we have a organization that we can report any suspicious ICO then they will make an investigation on that particular project and if they see a lot of red flags then they will take down that ICO.

[blokklanc]

I think regulations are needed to avoid copycat and scam projects. We need global regulations and not complicated ones.
It would be nice to have some self regulatory solution.

Regulation on ICO ICO results will make it better. the more free ICO and popping will certainly be a bad thing when there is nothing to set this up. Many scams on the longer the ICO will engender distrust and if left will make crypto lost investment. the regulation will be able to set the ICO getting better and back to gain the trust of investors.

[Christinebeauty]

ICOs really need to be regulated. Crypto nearly died off  last year because of the numerous scam ICOs which tend to scare people away from investing into it. I hope the incidence of scam would reduce this year.

[wayaneka]

I think we need to regulate ICO market to avoid fraud activity like money laundry and also to protect investor, in 2018 many ICO fraud, after they raised alot of fund they does not continue to run the aim of the project because some reason and finally their token did not listed on the exchange as well. With regulation we can maximize the quality of the project and minimize number of ICO fraud. Its better less number of ICO but high in quality product. With regulation will be more new investor come in to this market.

[amaterazu]

With so many Bounty participants and investors experiencing huge losses. In my opinion, the regulation for ICO is very important. It must be formed by a body that checks the new ICO or ICO that is running. And things like this will certainly help all parties and can eliminate this form of fraud.

[CLywaTeLb]

Strict rules for creating a new token; verification of the identity of the creator (lead dev), if it is a commercial project.
Creating a new coin is more difficult to regulate, but not many scammers can create it.

[makerst]

Do you remember why cryptocurrency was created? It was created in order to be independent and extremely transparent. I think that now, sooner or later, all these moments will be finalized by the development team.

[Denreal]

There have been controversies in whether regulation should be accepted or not, which still occur till now. The core crypto enthusiasts do not want regulation, because they want to preserve the main purpose of cryptocurrency, which is centralization. While those who are fed up of scam projects, governments, banks and the likes want regulation, which will totally bring in centralization.
In my opinion, both have their pros and cons.

[durudara]

why can't this kind of thing be fixed ?? for example, nowadays only bounty participants are increasingly tightened to avoid participants who are cheating and proven so far have reduced a lot and proven effective. if only the bounty participants can be set up why is the ICO not? ICO should also be regulated and have certain conditions to reduce fraudulent activities under the guise of ICO.

[cryptolidus]

Definitely, we need regulations on ICOs. I vote for an " in house " solution, a decentralized and self regulated one.
Regulated market would attract much more investors, including institutional ones.

[andika2018]

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 am agree that ICOs should need regulation. Many ICOs just want to raise money without a good responsibility on the project. If this is continue, people will think cryptocurrency is a scam market and no one will trust crypto again. If ICOs regulated, i am believe it will reducing scammer from market and crypto gaining trust from investor

[cewekimut]

Now many ICO fails and there are also many ICO frauds. And this is done by those who just want to profit without doing anything. So this ICO really needs to be regulated, so that all negative things can certainly be lost.

I am agree, many people losing trust in cryptomarket because many scam ICOs happen. If ICOs regulated by authorities, i think it will good for market and creating good investment climate. Regulation will makes developers responsible with their project and with their investor. Investor must be more calm and relax if ICOs regulated
