What are your expectations for ICOs in 2019?

[European Central Bank]

99% or more of them are toast. most have delivered nothing and disappeared. others will be hit with legal measures for flouting laws they couldn't be bothered to research.

going forward ICOs will either have to operate off the radar, and exchanges that want to stay in business won't list their tokens, or they're gonna have to go fully legit and spend a ton of money on being compliant.

those are the two options. both mean that they're a miserable failure in their current form.

What are your expectations for ICOs in 2019?

For no one it is a secret that this year for the ICOs was not the best  , but what do you think will happen to them by 2019?

Will it improve significantly?

Our hope is that the ICO market will improve. because we cannot know the condition correctly, because sometimes we predict it is wrong. so to find out what will happen to the market is difficult.

ICO's will be having a big problem if market won't show any recovery next year especially for ERC 20 base tokens. Some investors and traders won't risk their money if they saw no improvement and if they can't generate profit by it. In this case, ICO won't survive and lead into failing cause they can't generate funds that could run their projects.

I think that the ICO projects if mostly depend on the situation of this cryptocurrency market. And in 2019, if the market recovers, I think the ICO will grow, and the mass of ICO project will bear and help the market uptrend. I hope that the price of ETH will rise to $1,000 and more in 2019.

The expectation next year is that the quality of ICOs will improve as the SEC decides to crack down on ICOs. Also, other countries will control them to protect their own people from getting scammed

[Question123]

Less ICO fails more trusted ICO. More ICO will come in 2019 we hope all of them become successful or have uniquness that the investor looking right now because most of the ICO now have common benefits and purposes and advatanges.

[Keyboard PC]

I hope that for the ICO in 2019, hopefully it can trigger a rise in the price of bitcoin and hopefully it can also make cryptocurrency requests high and the most important thing is to be a solution to common problems.

It will be a good year in 2019 but not as good as 2017.. 2019 should be better because it was a hell of a bloody year for Crypto and so many people has loose all their money this year so I am really hoping that next year will be more better but it will not happen in an instant when Sec aprroves ETF by february this will not make a big gain for crypto in an instant it will gain just a little everyday and my predictions maybe is that ETH & BTC will reach its ATH by Q3 of 2019 so its gonna be a long bloody months for every crypto traders and hunters... Gotta stay with my old shoes cannot be able to buy a new one for a long time .. SAD!

[sirohige]

hope for the upcoming ICO and will be created in 2019, hopefully many ICOs can provide solutions to various problems and many develop ICOs that have a platform for exchange or infrastructure.

[ChiNgadOr]

Despite there are many ICOs thag failed because there didnt have a real case of use, team didmt have skills enough to deliver or were just moneygrabs/scams.. there many others that can be really usefull. And now at these prices of ETH.. investing on ICOs could be really profitable

[otunyot]

I think ICO investment will die down a bit as peoples move to more stable and legally binding investment like STO and other project with substance.  ICO have had it's run and it will have to prove once again that it could be profitable before it can regain investors trust!

[none of us]

2019 will certainly change a lot in the ico market. i believe that either comes a clear regulation or another form of the current ico. as this year ico were handled, it certainly will in 2019 be no more. but i could imagine that ico die out completely, because there is no more trust of the investors.

I think the same. ICO market in the current view is dead. So many investors don't trust to team and their possibility to make all promising. And under us SEC as sword of Damocles. I think ICO market must be reformatted. But what will do I don't know

[ajdaj]

of course I hope that in 2019 there will be many scams that are not scam and are promising and right in giving rewards. because this year there are so many ico scams and the rewards are not on time so I have to wait a long time.

In the past there were a lot of scam projects which are filtered now as now people are very intelligent and are very alert about all the factors to see that if the project is legit or not in the coming year we will see many more tools which will remove the scam ICOs completely. In the current market some projects are making us to wait for longer it is because of the current market.

In any case, only the improvement of the investment climate in the market and companies can save a lot of interesting projects. The problem is not only because of the large number of scammers, but also because of the poor state of the cryptocurrency market.

[LickKing]

I don't have any illusions about the future of ICO. Unless ICO projects can be supervised, I won't choose to invest in any ICO. I have been bombarded by scammers. They are all scam projects, and the projects that can be successful are very rare. So I gave up ICO's investment very early.

[Jamesdila1]

i think 2019 will be the year of legit and regulated icos. so now its time to focus on good icos. ORET token is a great project to look for 2019. so its gold mining related project ( PARAGUAY MINERAL MINING S.A )  and really a good opportunity to invest .

Regulations will impact these ICOs and Jay Clayton said that ICOs are still good by 2019 so I think they are planning something big by 2019.

This is just me but I think that ICOs will go to another level and will have new and interesting investment vehicle and only legit companies shall create one.

I would not want a situation where ICOs will come back to take much money again like last year. It affects trading as many people won't want to trade. Let the money flow into already established coins and not ICOs.

[HiatusGG]

My expectations are that we will see good news,goverments start to accept cryptocurrency and crypotcurrenccy volumes and prices will increase maximum 3x  in start of third quarter of 2019. Start of 2020 we will see the big risings. I will invest to cryptocurrency start of 2019.

[Redoc]

As crypto gains more mainstream dollar, it also gets more regulation, and more legal checks. Do your due diligence. https://ternion.io/?utm_source=bitcointalk&utm_newbie=bounty
