ALL Initial Coin Offerings are Trash

[cryptowolfsu]

There are decent ICOs out there with good ideas. It is true that many of the ICOs failed last year due the
market situation and other reasons but it does not automatically mean that they all were scam projects.

ICO in 2017 was a mere bubble and now the bubble is burst. That period may never come again be cause those 2017 ICOs did nothing after raising those huge sums of monies which has taught us a lesson as to invest in ICOs or not.

I don't quite agree with you. Among all this garbage can be found worthy projects. The sad thing is that even promising projects fail because of Scam the investors are not doveryaut ICO.

Many good ICO with good project and solid developers team got affected because many scam ICOs in 2018. I am agree many good ICO worth to invest. I think we should not generate all ICOs scam, there is still many good ICOs with promising project

[DanKuverit]

I do not agree, scammers and a flawed model cause this belief, new structure in ICO's is needed to week out the garbage, escrow and multi phase ICO's are needed.

I can say 80% of ICO that are being carried out today are all scams, but I can't say all ICO are scam because the truth is that I actually gained huge amount of money from some ICO tokens I made purchase of in 2017. One of this coin I made purchase is ETH, we all know that ETH was one of the first coin to begin the ICO movement and sold it's coin at a cheap rate during the ICO period and as we all know, the price of ETH went to as high as $1000 in 2017 making me a lot of profit. Another coin I also benefited from is NEO.

Most ICOs scam happen in 2018. 2017 is good year for ICOs investor because the price after listing in exchanger increase and give big profits, but during bear market in 2018, many ICOs fails reach sales target and the price drop when listed in exchanger

Surely not all, maybe some people call it a trash because they only based on the short term price action.
Of course it cannot be denied that lately ICO is not profitable to invest anymore, especially for short term investors, but this will recover as the market recovers.

Most projects after successful revenue collection at the ICO lost the incentive for further development, because the amounts they collected were indecently huge. Big money and no liability this is the main reason for the failure of the ICO.

[Robotbitcoin22]

only a small part is really serious and the rest is just a fraud, I am very disappointed with what is happening now where there are many losses felt by investors due to the many frauds in ico

[rachman mahesa]

Many now say that ICO is not good for investment. But from all ICOs, of course not all of our ICOs say it's not good or garbage. Actually there are still a lot of me that I have good and potential ICO in the future. So I can't say ICO is garbage.

[NEERAJ ANAND]

Not all ICO's are trash but a lot of ICO's are not doing up to the mark but still, good ICO's with the solid project is coming and we have to do some research and find out. Market conditions are not favorable for the last year and people have burnt their hands after putting money in the ICO.

[Jaggi90]

All ICO are not trash. Some of the scammed projects are trash and some projects which didn't propagate are trash, but not all of them. Just read the white paper and project team and chances for trash ICO will be less.

I made a lot of money off of ICOs in 2017.
A lot of my colleagues did too.
The thing is, we dealt with ICOs using a very specific trading strategy.

We were solely going for the quick flip and saw ICOs as a way to substantially increase our capital.
This meant that the bigger the bubble, the bigger the hype the better.
I looked for hype factor, token metrics, exchanges listing feasability and also how to get the maximum discount through presales or group purchases.
I did 11 ICOs in 2017 and each one I sold it off right away when I could.
On average I tripled my investments and in one case (appcoins) managed to get 6x profit.
The only ICO I got screwed over with was Titanium.
That was a greedy error on my part because I was fully ready to sell it off for double profit when it hit exchanges.
But I thought I'd wait until I could get 4 to 5x profit.

It ended up being shut down completely for being a scam lol.

Sorry to say, Not all the ICO is a scam. In 2017, people call it a golden year for the ICO but if 80% of ICOs were a scam then this is really shocking news. I think at this moment Some ICOs are doing well, we need to support only those ICOs which has a real-life use or a product! At this moment, I like some ICO Projects like Livenpay, Windhash and of course Haratoken! They already have a real life using customers with active clients. I know the most of the ICO has no value at all, but some are really doing well!

Yeah I miss 2017, I guess bearish market are affect into ICO project, because the project receive contribute in Crypto such ETH, so maybe a lot of ICO in 2018 and 2019 has been loss, then they're decide to delay their roadmap or stop it although they were reached the Softcap.

[StatesManG]

There are many scam on icos this periods which is why is looked like scam. I have seen many projects put up a lot of fake claims just to woe investors to invest on its stupid projects

[bartusv]

It is not right to say that all ICOs are trash. These assumptions are not based on real statistics, they are just  statements of those who were scammed or had bad investment experience.
I know that many  ICOs struggling  or scamming people , but not all.

After the end of bull market way back to 2017, some things changed to worst. Decreased prices caused more pressure on the prices and this pressure made us nervous.

But that's not for some icos that were listed on the binance instantly. those icos can make a lot of money instantly and they can leave from the pressure that happened in the market. But the bearish trend was giving a lot of pressure for us especially ico.

Agree, after market reach peak value, many people trying to scam people by creating their own ICOs and not legit project. They just want to steal peoples money and makes crypto images became negative. I dont think all ICOs are scam because many success in market after listing on exchanger
