Are ICO's Dead?

[Em00n01]

I don't think so. Many good and unique projects were able to reach hardcap in recent days. People are now aware about scam projects.

[Iykecollinz]

It is gradually becoming unpopular as it appears more than 90% of them are scam or outright failures. Nobody would want to invest in what has a 90% failure rate. ICO's were more profitable in 2016/2017 and early 2018 but suddenly it because the scammers niche, I think the bear market also played a huge role. The developers greed in trying to hit a hardcap of several millions of dollars was their undoing and with huge dumps associated with those that managed to list on exchanges. IEO's are coming up too but I see them as dead on arrival.

Soon the boom by IEO will drop. And many investors will  return to ICO. Last year with a falling market reduced investors' enthusiasm. But ICO still is alive and will live.

Certainly ICO will go on. But personally, I’m attracted to IEO by the fact that the reliability of investments is much higher than in ICO as projects undergo an independent audit of exchanges. Here, for example, I noted the project Gexan which will be held by the IEO on May 10.

And you can link to this Gexan IEO? I would like to read the detailed information. Thank!

Gexan is a really interesting project that already has a really working product. IEO will be in a few days.

ICO's are not dead, it is replaced by IEO. We can buying coin and tokens in IEO running by exchange.
But i recommend we should only investing in some exchange that we trust.
Because the trusted exchange will only listing trusted projects.

Not actually replaced because we still have ICO here, there are two platform now in the market, the IOE and ICO, which for now IEO is getting the trust.

[MarkAnthony20]

I blame the year 2017~2018 when there was so much ICO scam projects out there. It made investors so scared of startup projects which is affecting those legit ones. It's not that bad because STO's and IEO's were born to life because of investors wanting to have a much more secure state of mind while investing. ICO's are not dead but as an investor, you just have to play it smart and DYOR before you actually invest. One startup that I got into was a crypto-collectible project named Ecomi, they already sold out their private sales which means that they'll succeed moving forward. Plus the team is solid, their licensing guy was from Pokemon, Ninja Turtles. As a HUGE HUGE Shark tank fan, you need to love the project you're getting into, and believe the team that you're gonna be working with.

That's why we had STO and IEO. Projects keeps on protecting people from scams which is a good sign overall.

[LUCKMCFLY]

There is a way that I have seen that the most promising projects have been able to survive, and it is through some changes, that they have gone from ICO to STO, which, for many investors has given them more confidence and they decide to invest there, I have proven with a particular project, a lot of money has been collected and yet investors still give their approval due to the regulations that they require, and above all because the project is totally supported by a recognized company.

There are many investors who have started their research, it is about ICO, they have cleaned the name of the same since before they won the fame of most were scam, but due to these new regulations, where even the SEC gives the go-ahead , the projects will be much safer, For this reason I believe that they will not die.

[emmybd]

I don't think that ICOs are dead yet, but there is an urgent need to put some regulations in place to put scammers away. Anyway, when the market goes in bull run again then ICOs would definitely rebound again.

[Yalovtsev]

now rather Yes than no,and this is connected primarily with the fact that now the market started the whole go to IEO,and as they say this is now the future,but must Corot and IEO thing of the past,Yes, but now ISO even very good projects will not's okay to collect the money,that says a lot!

[Perie200]

The situation with the ICO market is very difficult now. Now is the time adjustment and the time when it will completely decide the fate of the Initial Sale of the Coins. The strongest projects from thousands of startups with unnecessary ideas and products will survive.

[sidkz]

I don’t see any reason to invest since after ICO you can buy these tokens much cheaper
nk maybe after cryptocurrency growth something will change

I also feel interested in the IEO, many people turn to the IEO and they think the IEO will have a positive result and the IEO has a stable profitability, although ico still has the potential

We still cannot say if Initial Coin Offerings (ICO's) are dead because as long are there are new Alternate Cryptocurrencies being developed, it must still undergo ICO's. Its a critical stage of their promotion and a stage where they may know whether the platform they are creating will be used in the long run. They just need a good promotion for their ICO's to make people believe that they will not get scammed.

[fortunecrypto]

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.

I am part of the www.elrond.com team

Our prototype is now opensource and very soon we will deliver the first version of the testnet.

Give me a shout if you want to find our more about us

I don't care about this elrond you are promoting ICO is dying of 10 bounty campaign I've participated only 2 reach their softcap, and some ICO that I thought would deliver cannot keep up, who would have thought project like IOVO and Lbx will stop their crowdfunding because they cannot attract investors.

In fact there are still many ICOs that are successful, it may be more difficult because it competes with the IEO but I am sure that ICO that is designed well and attractively will be easily accepted by investors and markets.
