are ICOs really dead?

[mamahdedeh]

The ICO has not really died, except that the ICO has lost a lot of its beliefs. Now ICO still exists in finding investors to move their projects. But it cannot be denied if it is indeed difficult to get investors. The large number of ICO frauds has eroded investor confidence. The ICO has not died but the ICO is threatened to die. If ICO does not renew the system, it can become extinct as soon as possible. This system can be improved by making an institution that will handle the ICO including giving permission to the ICO that is feasible to run, trustworthy and truly responsible.

ICOs are not dead, there bear market makes everything in the cryptocurrency world looks dead. But things are beginning to get better again and the bull run is around the corner.

Actually there are still many good and promising ICOs that are feasible for us to follow, and the one that I think is good is BCNEX, has already earned $ 1 million and has now still open and collect around 2300 ETH.

[eoakland]

i believe in their current form yes, that show is over.   I do think that IEO's will do well.  I am keeping a close eye on BNB, i can see BNB continuing to do well with IEO's leading the charge.   

[kyle999]

No I think but it will be replaced by IEO for sure if ICO will continue to make losses to investors then it will go down and totally replaced by IEO and if you are trying to make investments but you cant decide were to invest then go here https://exmarkets.com/launchpad.

ICOs are not dead, many projects still don't buy the idea of going in an IEO or don't want to risk it's assets because of the high demands of exchanges to launch its IEO. I still know projects who raised funds thro ICOs. It only take a good project to do so

[Aqcizromencez]

I've also experienced it like you, but I think that is part of the risk because investment in ico has a very high risk, and the ico does not die there is always a new project project that was born and now there is an IEO, of course it will be expected to be better than the ICO.

[Eadefemi]

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?

The proper and wise thing to do before investing in any ICO is to make proper research. This song is sang almost on every post on this forum. That you lost funds in an ICO doesn't mean all are bad, there are still ICOs worth investing.

[veraro]

ICO is a not very popular nowadays, partly because of market conditions, partly because projects prefer launch IEO and some othe reasons. But i believe ICO have a great potential. It is only need a firm legal regulatory, where developers will have responsibility and investors have some guarantees.

[setialovers]

I doubt that there are truthful and promising projects.At the ICO stage, there are thousands of different ideas. But they are not implemented. People were disappointed. ICO is dead.

I dont think ICOs are die because many ICOs success reach their minimum target or soft cap. Its true many scam ICOs last year but its not indicating all ICOs are scam, many are worth to hold and invest. If people dissapointed with ICOs, right now there is an alternative called IEOs

[andika2018]

Hmm, I stopped investing in ICO a long time ago ... it is at least stupid to invest in projects when such an uncertain market ... now fashionable IEO (Initial Exchange Offerings), I managed to participate in several, made quite good X)

Investor prefer choosing IEOs these days because its more safe and getting listed after token sales ended. Many ICOs investor frustation because the token not getting listed in market and sometimes its take a year. But for more safe, its better choose IEO from big exchanger

[abake]

It's old news that IEOs and STOs have taken over ICOs. So ICOs are partially dead until proven otherwise. Most scams happen with ICOs which has been curved to great extent with IEOs. There is a new pattern, IAOs like the one done by VELIC partner with ICON. Well, I lost some funds to a scam ICO and vowed never to buy in if it's not done on a reputable  Exchange, since I'm sure the exchange must have done thorough verification.

[novy]

Yeah, ICO has moved to EIO and it is bad and good at the same time. Right now exchanges are like escrow between investors and projects. The bad thing is that exchanges take big part of this pie.

I think both of them are the same thing, even though it looks difficult but I'm sure there are still many good and profitable ICOs, this is because many devs. who have big capital so they can make their projects successful.

[Mr.Noda]

With the growth of the market, it seems that interest in new coins is waking up again. But I wouldn't invest in new projects right now.

[CryptoIyke]

ICO's are not dead but I will say that they have just given way. The attention and focus has changed to IEO's instead. A situation where ICO's became a huge disappointment to investors and recorded several losses plus scam. So far I feel we have enough crypto to invest in than buying new ICO's that their fate are not certain.

[Waltermeks]

That's the game in crypto. Failure should not make you back out, rather keep striving. ICO is something else now yes, but some are still making good profit in ICO.

It can be said that the IEO is safer and more profitable, of course, the exchange has carried out strict verification so that they can receive coins that will be used as IEOs.

[Chinocshyp]

Icos isn't dead. but I'd rather buy from exchanges than invest in icos. most ico investors are only looking for real profits and don't actually care about the success of the project. because of this, they dump on exchanges when those projects list. the truth is, no matter how bright the future of a project is, it will dump eventually. I simply wait for that to happen before I invest my hard-earned money. moreover, the nature of the crash of a token will give you an idea of the health of that token.

[ZEIIMAN]

Well, no one forced you to invest in such projects, it was only your personal decision. ICO as well as IEO still brings money, the main thing is to choose the project correctly and sell it on time.

Many crypto investor think IEOs much better than ICOs because what happen in 2018. Many project are scam in 2018 and investor prefer choosing IEOs because its more legit and trusted
