are ICOs really dead?

[Stanlo]

Not totally dead ,both I can say ICO is half dead now still we have few of them that are doing fine and they met hardcap even when all investors are switching to IEO ,if you want to go ahead for any ICO make sure they have something good to deliver

[Krismanto]

This might be your fault because you are not careful in determining the ICO project. It is unfortunate that it can happen that you lose money. I personally prefer to invest in coins over because it is safer and easier to make a profit. This will be a lesson for you and in the future, you must be smarter and more careful.

[franciscoDC]

I think it was not because im still earning in some ICO‘s even there are so many scam ICO‘s, before you invest make sure that you have enough knowledge about knowing how their project goes on,and also if their project was still promising ,there are so many ways that you could know if an one ICOS‘s has a chance to turn out into scam.

[itasannah]

ICO projects are still very difficult to get investors. So many ICO projects still fail. The most disappointing thing is to get a fraud project and we lose investment money. It's better to invest temporarily in existing coins.

[RockDJ]

Certainly it is. It is no longer a legitimate and confident way of raising money since investors now prefer IEO. I rather expect an advancement on the development of IEOs for a better execution and management

[Loedong]

I don't invest in ico because now there are a lot of scary scams, yeah Fully I'm not sure if ico is really dead, of course there are still good ico to follow. but only a few of them have a transparent and serious team in managing their projects.

[Averaged]

ICO is not dead and now is the right time for you to look for a good ICO. Many ICO failed because market conditions deteriorated. In 2019 I think more ICOs will achieve success. And I suggest you don't give up because the opportunity to get big profits is still wide open.

There are a few ico projects where I want to participate. The market is still weak, I don't want to risk and losing money.

For now for me it is very difficult because they assemble everything nicely and in detail to deceive everyone until the ICO ends. I have experienced that a few months ago.

Luck differs in every person .  ico nowadays can be consider as a gambling as it requires luck to be able to profit  . the guy above you was lucky because he manage to recieve his reward from an ico that he joined while you , you maybe badluck by the time you have joined an ico  .  dont worry . try your luck again next time  .  meanwhile ico is not dead  but some consider it dead due to the increasing number of fraud ico's  . ico can only be consider dead if all ico will vanished  .

In my opinion it is difficult to say if ICO will die. Because if cryptocurrency still exists, the ICO is also still alive and developing.

After participating in several ICO project, which turned out to be scam projects. My hard earned money disappeared in to thin air, with no way to trace or recover my money back. I had to act like it never happened to get it off my mind and move on.

Are ICOs really dead and do you still invest in ICO projects?

With the advent of the IEO and the guarantee of exchanges, it seems that the IEO is a trend. And actually ICO is dying. There are probably only projects that cannot afford to run IEO to continue selling ICO.

Majority of the ICO will still use the old style of raising money, there is a payment in IEO and we know that not all of the team
that are trying to run an ICO has enough funds to get their project listed in IEO.
People can choose, ether they invest with the new trend, or still remain with the old.

IEO is new model of ICOs and i think will disrupt ICO in the future. People will prefer choosing IEO in the future because its proven profitable after traded in market. But i think ICOs remain exist because i am believe many good project still launch ICO and investor still looking prospect investment

[Balzhi]

ico's will be live some time. but with time everybody will move to ieo's. people will accept kys. this is something like evolution)

[amonymous]

With the really I can see that many ICO are going to die this year. Its main reason many investor leave crypto. In fact When the crypto market came down a lot with the red mark, Then the investors reduced the amount of their investment. And for some of the scam ico many investments have been damaged and their do not want to return again.

[bitstalker]

in my opinion not dead for now, but I don't think the problem with ico is because they have a very large number and maybe this should be limited by my intentions, such as projects that have no value / maybe scam ex-projects removed from circulation begin by deleting their smartcontract so that they are not in blockexplorer

Not dead, but the trust rating of every ICO is not that valuable in times of people search which one to be chosen to participate into, to doubt that investors are losing since not all ICO intend to provide the best benefit that market needs.

[dimox]

thats not dead like a real mean, i think ico need time to recover itself, like bitcoin. ico need market, and the high market is bitcoin, when bitcoin price fall it mean ico fall too with many reason like people not believe because last time they make high income and now its really low.
just wait until crypto price is like the high before, than ico will be crowd as before

[slmtlm]

I was lucky to participated in one of the very first and successful ICO. It was Monaco (now named crypto.com).

You're right about the fact. that there is a lot of ICOs out there that tend to be fraudulent. For this reason I have created with a friend what prevents ICOs from cheating. How ? Through a thorough verification process.

Here is the project : https://www.tokenvu.com

It is still under construction (and being designed), hopefully it will come off as a better version soon.

Let us know if you have any comments/questions/ or ideas on how we can improve !

Best to you all and wish you success(ful ICOs) !

[Yahiris]

For me, ICO projects are not dead yet and you can make a profit from them, but every day this sphere begins to fade away because of lack of money and trust

The rise in prices will not help the ICO, it will only lead to more scams, investors are leaving and this can only change the control of the sphere, the strict selection of projects and so on, as in the IEO

[Coin-Desk]

Yes ICO is really dead and I still do not invest in the ICO project. 90 percent of ICO Fake in the market So now I should not invest in ICO. Most ICO scams do. Good to not invest in ICO. Because investing in ICO is never a profit. Because today's ICO can not be successful. Because ICO did not succeed, they scam. So I say good to stay away from ICO. ICO can never bring good results. Investing in ICO is a good investment in Stablished Kyean. There was a time when investing in ICO could have been beneficial. But now it is not possible. So I say ICO is dead.

Thank you

Can you explain once again? One side you think ICO aren't dead ans someone can get profit with ICO and the second side you say an ICO has gone because of lack of money and esspecially trust. If you say it, how someone can get money if there aren't investor who trust in ICO? Project scam and a project can't reach funds which they needs always shadowing an investor.
