Are ICO's Dead?

[glendall]

I'm not sure if the ICO dies,
because I still see some projects doing ICO,
some projects even focus on being ICO services, so as long as the project is still there, ICO will never die.

[Twinscoin2017]

Ico is not dead but i think it is very affected from the very huge dip that we are experiencing. Maybe we need to be mpre patience if we are going to invest in ico today, because the crypto market ot still affected from the past price dip on last year 2018. I believe that ICO's well rise again if the crypto market rise. Ww also need to be more careful this time because the number of scam ICO and scammer is increasing.

NOPE

I say - they are ALIVE!

Yeah you hear me right!

They are ALIVE because they can no longer sleep on one ear knowing funds will come in regardless

They are ALIVE because they focus on building the technology

They are ALIVE because the market requires this

We are going through a maturing phase - the strong will survive and they will deliver.

No one will remember the ones who quit - no matter how strong they presented themselves to be

People will remember the ones who stayed and delivered.

Only those fool who will believe that ICO are still alive,yeah maybe there are few or atleast 1-5% of the existing has a good intentions in regards on how to help the cryptocurrency be recognized and grow but they are being eaten by these scammers and in the end they will be tagged or labeled as scammer also because of the majority.so literally they are Dead long time ago

The decline in quality and also competition with the existence of the IEO has made ICO indeed currently not much of a priority for investment in investors. most of them prefer to invest in the IEO rather than the ICO And this is the reality that exists today. to be said dead I don't think this is because until now the model of ico is still there every day struggling to build trust again.

[alonelyorange]

Some time I can say ICO is dead because many time of ICO have listed on exchange market always lower price, but some time I get many ICO have higher price after listing on exchange market and keep it for long time.

[Ayiranorea]

ICO's were not dead, with the existence of new platform for the launch of new projects the importance of ICO's have been decreased a little. This doesn't mean that the ico's were dead. Whenever something advanced gets into the market for some time period there will be some lacking in the usage of the one that was much used in the past. This is what happened with ICOs

[Sithara007]

Investors don't trust ICOs no more, a lot of them had no working product, ran-away with the money the investors have entrusted with them, and scam. ICO had a bad reputation that most investors avoid investing on them which lead to massive ICO failure.

That's true. Even promising projects were getting listed at heavy discounts, causing massive losses for the investors. That's on top of the 90% of the ICOs, which turned out to be scams. Once the reputation is lost, then the recovery is very difficult. Many of the countries (such as China and South Korea) did the right thing by banning the ICOs altogether. But the scammers just moved to other jurisdictions, such as the Caribbean islands. And the crypto community was also not very proactive in preventing these scams.

[Ozero]

ICO projects are not yet dead, but they are experiencing a very difficult time, which is associated with a falling market and a high level of fraud among such projects. We see that even today some ICO projects are successfully working and are raising the necessary funds to develop their ideas. Of course, without addressing the issue of eliminating fraud, the activities of ICO will not regain its former popularity. It seems that for this they need government regulation, which would be to check the ICO team and create such conditions for them to exclude the possibility of fraud, as well as to establish clear rights and obligations of participants in this type of activity.

[Tomcolor]

It's not complement for me, because now it's more difficult for me to find a better project. The scam project has increased significantly now. That's true for me now I have avoided Ico investment.

[Mealea]

To many ICO is dead and gone but things can still change with ICO if the market get stable and we have some genuine project instead of scam project.

[bellaayu]

ICO is indeed one of the things that can give you big profits. But the ICO that can provide a big advantage is before 2018. And throughout 2018 many ICOs experienced a lot of problems and lots of useless coins. But now seeing the market seems to be recovering. And I'm sure if this year the market will recover and more ICO projects will succeed.

[nightl]

if you make a cut by the number of ICO and IEO projects created and successfully completed before softcap - the answer will be obvious that ICO has really died.
Until they begin regulated at the state level with imprisoning fraudsters, nothing will change

[Peruvyn]

ICOs are not really dead but it is going through evolution to IEO which makes it to be more better than ICO. Though some projects are still conducting ICO and I participated in one of them that did well at their initial listing but I don't think this will continue for long.

[Bitcotalk]

I think soon we will dream about the return of the ico in the same format because this model of collecting money from investors was the most fair.

This is nice to see you passionate about ICOs but majority of ICOs had been very big scammers. This hurt the spirits of crypto enthusiasts and due to the fake and dubious nature and projects, ICO lost its demand. People love IEOs now and this is why the demand for ICOs declined down to a great extent despite the fact that ICOs had previously been the fundraising boom mechanism.

I believe everything will be replaced by time. now there are many ico that really fail in terms of price after entering the exchange, scam and ico that really do not run like the white paper they pour.
I'm not pessimistic but this is a fact.
I think the market will recover but not with ico, it is likely that ico will be replaced and currently there is something better than ico, EIO

[integrity42]

ICO is not dead exactly, but people and investments there have also decreased, in the future it is possible as a complete revival of the ICO sphere, as well as the disappearance of the ICO sphere

[aezak0r]

And what are your guys thoughts on IEO industry? A bit modified and a bit more attractive in today's market conditions. What I personally like is that projects are also verified by the exchanges they conduct rounds on. And has anyone heard of Bitstars IEO, they are having it tomorrow? Because the project is pretty widely discussed these days, so curious to know your opinion

ICO is no longer interested as much as 2017 and this indicates weakness in investor protection. I think maybe this year or next year, ICO will end and we should not invest ICO now because the risk is huge. If you want to invest, you should only invest in IEO projects because it will be much better and can avoid scam ICO projects. Now is not the time for venture capital because the market is in a risky period and your investment may be meaningless without the right choice.

[odranoel]

Definitely not! ICO's not dead. That is why the reason why I am still here supporting the ICO's. Maybe there are times that the price is drop, but this is not the reason that you can conclude that it is dead. It is a part of industry or it has effect in the community because the prices goes up and down as well as the ICO's.

[superherongtaon]

NOPE

I say - they are ALIVE!

I think they are not alive anymore because as IEO entered, these ICOs are being ignored and I am hoping that it still comes back even though only few people are still doing it.
