are ICOs really dead?

[integrity42]

I don’t think that icos is dead. There have still some good ICOs which is very profitable. But it’s very hard to identify which one is legit one.     

So far, IEO has intercepted a lot of people and ICO projects have become even more unprofitable, but that doesn't mean that ICO has died

No, they are not completely dead. Good projects always raise money for your product. The problem is that too many scammers have appeared and it is becoming more and more difficult to see a good project among them.

That's why ICO in the current view dead. This problem doesn't have a solution at this step of crypto industry development. And that's why IEO's also are a dead child. Only for a short profit and some lottery. I think it happens soon. Maybe 3-4 projects which will give x0.5 and all will end

[KlepZ]

Decidedly no. We are at the protean stages of a shift in how concepts are funded and brought to market. Initial Coin Offerings and the tokens that spring from them are most certainly not ead. As an investor in early stage companies through the group I co-founded AICoin I am approached by at least 20 tokens a day looking for capital to finance their token marketing strategies, advisors of mentorship.

IEO made the ICO looks dead, but it's really not dead, there was only a decrease of investments coming from the public.
I haven't invested in IEO yet but I believe investing in ICO is easier as it does not usually sold out easily, IEO can be sold out in seconds.

The controversies surrounding ICO as a whole , is way too much. In a way, a major factor for such controversies is the fact that a lot of projects in the past turned out to be scam and millions of dollars were lost by investors and other individual who donated the little they had into the project. As a result of the bad  experience with ICOs in the past, majority slowly are declining feom participating in ICOs, as no one is ready to keep feeding up the scammers with their hard earned money.

[Serve20]

ICOs are not really dead but it is evolving as we have seen that people prefer investing in IEOs now than ICO because of the instant liquidity that it always provide. I think as time goes on, IEO will replace ICO entirely and there won't be ICO again

[Ben Shedly]

Soon, ICO can really lose interest in themselves. All investors have long turned their attention to a new form of sales of tokens. It is called IEO and is held on exchanges.

[Danslip]

ICOs are not dead and we will be in the good state again in the spring with the help of the bull market.  ICO projects lost their reliability after scamming the people and using their money for their own ideas.

[waynechong1995]

It's hard nowdays to get funded, like many Kickstarter doesn't go well cause there's hundreds of them, so do ICOs, people rather keep for another bull ensuring food IEO that far more promising, no hassle on listing and volume, that's the harsh fact, but hidden gem do existed, some private fund that issues securities like stock can succeed but not those fishy ones

[jakelyson]

Scammers killed ICOs. Even legit ICO cannot get funded nowadays because investors are already too afraid to invest. Scammers are too intelligent that they can make a scam ICO look legit. For investors, it is harder to find an ICO that will not run away with their money after the ICO concluded. ICO had a run in 2017 but now it is mostly dead.

right, it looks like ICO will really lose its place in crypto and now many investors are interested in walking towards the IEO because it is more profitable and of course their money will also be safe.

it is unfortunate that the ICO will end, i hope that the scam project that will be lost from the cypto space and the legitimate ICO project will grow even more.

the ICO situation is currently not good because there are many scammers who make ICO that look legitimate and deceive many people. as you say "now investors are too afraid to invest" and i'm afraid ICO will really die. many investors are running towards the IEO because currently the IEO is more profitable. i hope this IEO doesn't kill the ICO.

[benjamin11]

I don't think so. In fact i don't think it will die anytime soon or ever. ICOs is important for the survival of crypto in general. It is where future crypto are born and who knows, the next bitcoin might come from ICO. Its true that nowadays, ICOs are not doing great compared to the previous years. Most of them, in fact, are almost worthless. But still, they are still there waiting for the market to recovers. Market recovery will help the ICO to survived.

[kevinex]

actually not dead, we still see ICO running for several projects. because indeed this is the sales method that is mostly done by new projects to get investors. but unfortunately now the condition is that not many investors believe in the ICO.

[hellyah070]

yes, i invested on ICO's and lost all money as like you . just move on and invest on good projects.

I just want to add up some things up here. Honestly, even investing only by your time and effort on an ICO is just waste. Doing bounties and work is not efficient at all. Project managers will just going to sales talk you and not even pay. There's so many reason out there and maybe you should take a look at that.

[Pr3ko]

It does not die but the number has decreased significantly, 2019 is the year of the IEO !!!

[killat]

Definitely not. Even if scam ICOs increased a lot since 2017, this doesn't mean that all ICOs are the same or we cannot find good and legit ICOs.

[watergold]

maybe not like that, unstable conditions have caused many projects to fail and not be successful. but after many successful projects in the IEO, maybe that's the newest way that developers will do to make their projects successful

Looks like the situation is true. Many ICOs got cancelled for collecting less funds and some ICOs are still waiting for the market to bump up. Moreover investors are also losing interest in ICOs if it's a regular one. Hyped ICOs still work like BitTorrent etc.
