Are ICO's Dead?

[Broiler78]

for me the ICO is not completely dead now, only some ICOs have stopped and some are still running. the appearance of the IEO and STO makes the ICO forgotten.

[criket]

nope, ico is not dead,.. there are project having there ico still.. but the new trend is IEO..

maybe that's just an expression where investor interest is now shifting to the IEO and we can see that many ICO projects are also lonely with investors. some of them even sold their sales to become IEO. everything is normal because I think the ICO and IEO are the same.

[Folajuwon56]

Many of them are dead while a few are still alive. Taking close pool at ICOs, a good number of them are shots and nothing to write home about. So in a nutshell, ICOs are dying slowly.

Today, the ISO market is of course extinct,even very cool projects can no longer collect the necessary amount for development,and listing on the stock exchange,so there is one thing,wait for a new wave,and then ISO can come to life,they want can no longer come to life,so now many have switched to the IEO market,it helps at least some money still collect,but also does not guarantee the success of the project!

No, there is no desire to fall into the trap by investing in ICO, it is too risky, and there are no guarantees that you will get anything at all. The IEO trend solves the problem of security and, to some extent, the problem of rising prices.

I think they are dead already as there have been little or no information about ICO whatsoever for a while now. It's been long I heard a project sourcing funds via ICOs, all are going after IEOs because that's where the activities is.
On the other hand, as for me, I don't think ICOs will worth my time and effort for now.

[lovesybitz]

They are not so alive, they are dying whether you like it or not. Many of them are still shit. Becoming scams after they have profited from the investors and bounty hunters who have helped them gain more before running away.

You're wrong with it, I'm not an ICO believer nor IEO, but for what I can see with is that there are some of the ICO at the present time now are now getting better and sometimes good rather than IEO, based on my observation. It is true that there is still shit project out there but there is also shit IEO that has been arise here too, were this is the reality things happened.

[monster2]

I think the ICOs are not yet dead because there are still investors here, but most people prefer to invest in IEO because the investment is bigger than that.

[Lexurdania]

I am agree that now is the season for IEOs. Investor prefer invest in IEOs on reputable exchanger because its more legit. Not all ICOs are bad but i think many investor more trust on IEOs held by reputable exchanger

I do not know how long the excitement around IEO will last. It seems to me that the topic with ICO will still show itself. It’s just that the market needs new rules of the game to fight fraudsters.

Agree, many investor trauma join in ICOs because many scammers in ICO project. They invest in IEO because guarantee get listing in market soon and to fight fraudsters, i think government regulation needed and i am believe this will gain more trust from ICO investor

[mammoniter]

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 also I agree that ICOs are still alive. First of all, ICOs are an essential part of cryptocurreny because they are the future so it means they will never die but they will develop and innovate. There are still promising ICOs out there but unfortunately there are more worthless projects being introduce. Thats the problem, those ICOs should be minimize or eliminate.

[z21770179]

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.

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.

The ICO and the IEO do not compete with each other, the IEO only has the advantage of giving its token access to available users of exchange. And it is guaranteed to be listed by exchange

[freedomgo]

The ICO and the IEO do not compete with each other,

Disagree, they are both crowdfunding, therefore if IEO projects receives more funds, they are more successful than ICO, that is regardless of what they issued to investors.

[Litzki1990]

Even there is IEO or STO the ICO is not dead actually there are more ICOs project are very profitable but many of us are being afraid of investing on ICOs because they heard that most of them are scam, it depends on you how to find good ICOs.

[Loedong]

ico isn't dead yet. although there are many cases of fraud on ico but in fact the ico project still exists and continues to emerge. but I think most investors are currently reconsidering before investing in Iico for various reasons including rampant ico fraud cases.

[bangdol]

Disagree, they are both crowdfunding, therefore if IEO projects receives more funds, they are more successful than ICO, that is regardless of what they issued to investors.

absolutely right, ICO or IEO is actually the same. all depends on the investor's assessment of the quality of the project being delivered. not oriented to ICO or IEO. they will still be there, or maybe regulations that make one of them not available.

[LogitechMouse]

It is not and it will never be I think.

Everyday, there are new ICO's that are launching here on the forum. Its a hard fact but the market needs ICO to have new coins. If ICO's are dead right now then no new coins must be created at this moment but it is not so it is still alive.

[spydee1522]

ICOs are really not dead, it all depends on the ICO project you are participating in. Do a well organised and proper research into any ICO project you come across before you go into it and if your research serves you right to participate in that ICO project. If it ends up successfully, then will you realize that ICOs are really not dead but ICOs needs time, funds and a process to climb higher.

[ridha inoue]

nope, ico is not dead,.. there are project having there ico still.. but the new trend is IEO..

yes you right, ICO is not dead and same like before but people is just see if ICO is danger zone and IEO now be a new trend.
so that's why people here is think if ICO is dead.
we can keep looking the good ICO success with huge profit like 2017.

[blockchainwriters]

Icos are nt dead they are being replaced by IEO where Ieo are playing the same role of ICOS . what are flaws are there in ICO and covered in IEO

[iyah adrian]

maybe it's true, ICO has died, for more than 2 years in a very long time we have not even seen a single ICO building technology, and also in 2018 yesterday there were a lot of ICOs that conducted SCAMs here enabling investors to close their eyes on investing in ICO
