More than 80% of ICO's launched in 2017/8 Were Scams, STO's are the next step.

[Masatos]

Startups on the cryptocurrency market have long been regulated because, due to the fact that they can do anything, we lose a lot of money

Your submissions is not correct as it cannot be backed up with a  technical knowledge,  the bearish market of 2018,has a negative impact on most ICO ,several good project has a crash in price, far below there ICO price, that does not denote that they are scamm project.

STO is not a good solution, investors still want anonymous investments. I think instead of switching to STO it's better to make regulations to tighten the ICO project launch

but if we need anonymous investment to be implemented as a whole, it actually makes the blockchain not transparent, and will make more problems than as a solution. anonymously can be used as an optional. I also didn't agree STO can be a solution for this.

[bananaunana]

I don't see any advantages for STO in general for small investors. STOs are known for giving advantages to big investors and as a result disadvantages to small investors. It's obiously why ICOs were developed: giving very small investors a chance to accumulate tokens and a chance for making some decent profit.
STO is going into the wrong direction, away from small investors and reloading misfunction of previous investment opportunities we know from general founding projects. Sad to see it 

[elenka n]

I am sure that bright minds will still figure out how to make fraudulent projects and will earn even on STO!

[owlman]

Interesting information, and a really important issue that needs attention. I also wonder what will happen next with the ICO project market, it will continue to be relevant and profitable for investors, or STO will be a replacement. In any case, the market for ICO projects will not be the same and I am sure that it is changing right now.

[Impaler]

Yeah. This is right most of the icos which was created on 2018 are scam or failed. For many reasons. The ICO hype is already gone. One thing almost all the icons was getting their funds and promise to develop their project. But most of them after some time stop developing or just vanished or failed to deliver a good project. So for these resons ICO are not good anymore. Instead of ICO there are a different type of thing called STO. At these time there  are some space for STO based project. Maybe this year will be STO projects first rum

[Jrfranco]

In the last two years more then half of ICO's was shut down or tagged at scams

There is currently an intense debate raging within the crypto community. This debate is centered around the emergence of a new method of raising money for blockchain projects, this method is called a Security Token Offering (STO).

Some people believe that STOs, will eventually completely replace the original Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Others believe that STOs in their current form actually take away from a lot of the original positives that crowdfunding through an ICO provided.



Here in thisSTO guide, I explained everything about STO's the differences and regulations regarding it and why it so good to the crypto world

What would you think will happen in the next few years, STO is just another faze or it will be the final form? 

Security tokens are more secured rather than utility tokens, we all know the difference between the two, but talking about utility ICO's, yes i believe that the previous ICO's most of which are scams and a fraud, scammers and fraudsters use this means to create a bunch of ICO in order to gain more money, investors should be aware of it, at some sort, security tokens could not be really an answer to this problem i think,it should be proper regulation in order to disseminate the scam ico's.

Thank you for such an interesting topic. I've missed this new cycle of the development of investments in blockchain projects! I've run over this text so far, and I consider it a good idea which may lead to new growth!

[jan.nicolas]

The statistics are really very sad, because now the best thing that can happen is the introduction of a regulator or the creation of open source software. That is, platforms that today will still have real opportunities to find scammers.

[disconnectme]

I won't go as high as 80%, but what I observed in the space is that a lot of these developers are good but lack the business side of things, if you developer a platform and no one is willing to use it then it is better not to investing time and resources doing it in the first place. As regard STOs people need to tread carefully here and understand the pros and cons before investing into any STOs because they also come with their baggage also

[Ociwiw]

This is quite possible, because ICO cannot exist forever and they have to come to replace something!

[bitvalak]

New problems and new innovations will always emerge, as before when the Escrow era was very widely used, then STO now appeared.
In my opinion it is good to make improvements from the way that was previously indicated by fraud. In the future, maybe there will be more innovations that will improve STO and so on.

[hoaryal1]

We cannot ignore that there are many scams in ICO projects that make every investor or participant get the big risks. However, so far, this is the only way to come up with the new project promoted. If the STO is much better and can decrease the scams, why not? But, give us the proof and solution.

I guess we will see over time, but we are adding to good place

No, I don't agree that most ICO investors wanted to be anonymous in the first place. Remember that many projects have already implemented the KYC requirements and many investors followed the policy well. If there is a way that can protect them from so many scams, many will be so willing to step in. The current ICO system will eventually die all because investors are now uninterested to be throwing money into air and get a balloon in return. When an investor experienced money burning, he will be dismayed and will not be returning into the table unless something good can be offered to him. This is the big reason we need to demand something that is better and transparent from start to finish and stop this non-sense of using the blockchain and cryptocurrency to fool people out of their hard-earned money. It is quite a sad thing that we let these scammers take advantage of this good platform and not offer protection to the many investors.

[HardFireMiner]

Security token offerings must have license into selling securities. Unless the STO organizer has license from all jurisdictions where they want to sell, it's illegal from very first transaction.

In other words - without a license from proper authority, STO's are scams.

[Stervyatnik]

Let's hope that STO will really bring the benefits that they expect from them otherwise it will be just a rename ICO!

[Ucheman]

I have been taking a close look at STOs in recent times and I see the merits of what you just said, it seems STOs are doing quite well even with the present state of the market.

[terible.hunter]

Statistics really does not lie. I think that these are very big problems for the global economy, but in general today there is a really right direction for development. This is of course STO, but I think that there are holes there too.

[rudolfaxl]

It's definitely not a final form. We can't even imagine what will be in 5-10 years, everything could be significantly changed in comparison with nowadays technologies we used to. STO is just the next step forward and I suppose there will be many more of them.
