Should ICOs be regulated

[ajdar.muxin.79]

I do not think that this will be a good idea for the crypto market in general. If we would regulate ICOs, we would regulate crypto currencies and this is not their aim. I would prefer to stay anonymous rather than to let the third party to get into this market.

I suppose a regulatory body be set up to audit the ICO process and the  founders, and if anything goes wrong or should the project fail, they will be liable. This will reduce drastically investors risk and also keep scammers away. What do you think?

Now there is a lot of discussion about how to regulate ICO, but so far no universal measures have been taken. The ICO remains an excellent territory for scammers, which is certainly sad. If this continues, the situation will scare off investors, in which case the whole community will suffer.

I think there is no urgent need for regulation, provided that someone will act as a guarantor for the admission of ICO projects to investors. In this case, investors will be relatively insured against cheating.

I strongly agree that later on ico will indeed be regulated because indeed at this time there must be a change in the ico system which is currently very detrimental, so indeed there must be a change

There will be a change if it keeps going like this and it is beneficial for all of us. If people can't fulfill the requirements to hold a token sale they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

The sphere of ICO investment will degrade without significant changes in the field of security for investors, already now it is very noticeable, the outflow of money is not small and there are too many bad projects

[setialovers]

In fact ICOs now are nearly dead already, so the situation will be even worse then. But it is a good filter for ICO projects and ideas. Many good and strong ICOs are venture projects in fact that use crypto to collect funds.

Many good ICOs can reach the target and i dont think ICOs already dead. Its true many scam ICOs last year and i think government regulation needed for ICOs because its involve peoples money from all around the world

[cchub]

Not really. I think the investors will eventually learn how to invest in ICOs. No need for regulations.

We are hoping for the best, we thought we don't need their intervention but now that these scams are so alarming, we should need this market to be regulated the soonest. If we still don't trust ICO, we can go with IEO and I think this is safer than the latter.

Who was saying about that never try to do a lot of research to the current market. A lot of icos are still getting a lot of funds. That guy must take a look at how the latest performance on independent ico and IEO. He may wrong about that.

[Darklinkz]

I don't think it will be implemented and if it really don't then we have the SEC to do their jobs and do a subpoena on these ICO scammers. There will always be a trace because they are using ETH to collect money and US has the most sophisticated cybercrime investigations tools to find them anywhere in the world.

[zulfi125]

As you know most of ICO's was scams and not getting any benefits by investors, so IEO is good opportunity to invest in crypto and IEO also should regulate.

[mangsitin]

I think the ICO is now gradually moving to the IEO, because the IEO is a safe investment and it has been proven that many projects have succeeded in implementing the current IEO, so that the ICO itself seems to have to improve so that it runs well again. Ico must be tightened again.

[Litzki1990]

It should be regulated all the ICOs to protect our investors as we all know there is a lot of scammers out there, if the ICOs was regulated i think most of the investors are not going afraid of putting there investments in ICOs.

[e@symode]

Regulation in general is a process that was created for centralized intervention; this is clearly not considered and does not relate to the decentralized process. Therefore, let something else be regulated, but not cryptocurrencies.

[tenakha]

As you know most of ICO's was scams and not getting any benefits by investors, so IEO is good opportunity to invest in crypto and IEO also should regulate.

If you are looking for an ICO with regulations, you should look at the STOs. The STOs are less likely to be scam due to some regulations, but that does not mean prices will not go down when they are listed. In addition, the sale of IEOs at central exchanges makes the regulations unnecessary. Already you should pass KYC in the exchange.

Definately ICOs should be a regulated, if the ICOs regulated then then it will be a big change in crypto market and those investors who have also invested in crypto then they will get so relief.

[Samuel4]

Crypto currencies is already a decentralised system brought by the blockchain technology and smart contracts. The purpose of decentralization will be forfeited if Governmental bodies are brought in by means of regulations. Rather a system of escrowing investors' fund should be introduced. This will help fraudulent practices from ICO's to be checked

if ico intends to sell their tokens to general public, i like to see them getting regulated for clients' protection.  however, if the company ico is kinda private, something like selling the tokens to its workers or customers, then it may not be regulated.

In my opinion whether it's private or not eitherway it still need some kind of regulation. You know consumer or investor protection is always better. People have tired handing over complicated requirement for merely investing meanwhile the ICO holders
could easily scam us if they want, but with regulation, that problem will be eliminated.
