ICO vs STO

[JayCue]

If I were to choose between ICO or STO, no doubt that I will support STO. Yet we can't get rid of the fact that both will still suffer in times of market instability. No exemptions.

We all know the ICO market is kinda dead right now. Not many good projects are out there. And if there is indeed a good project there is the fear it won't go well considering how the 2018 was for the ICO's. The last ICO I invested was 11 months ago and I don't even to get started on how it went and all the problems there are even now. But regardless that, I've seen the hype shift from ICO to STO. Seems that S in STO is really giving security to the investors.
STO in the other hand is not another utility token (most of them have no utility at all), but actually gives you shares on the company and you have some return on your investment just in e few months. Obviously not the whole investment but you can see smth entering your wallet.

My question is: Will 2019 be the year of STO?

Still, ICO, I see the future of the ICO as STO is almost the same with ICO, there's no doubt people will still going to support ICO rather than this STO in the market of cryptocurrency.

It was very simple to collect investments with ICO in the early times. However, it became harder day by day. And right now it's really hard to get the investment. STO is a new idea. It's not clear if it'il work. If it works, the ICO period may close.

Most probably 2020 and 2021 will become years of a new STO hype. Don't expect any miracle during the bear market while everything is bleeding. In a best case scenario we'll see some really popular STO project at the end of 2019 and it will become a start of STO era.

seems like that, lately the STO project is very popular and interesting. I hope that in the future the STO project will be even better. this is a good start for the STO project to be developed.

[LordShanken]

Due to the many ICO failures in 2018 caused by the bear market, all eyes are turned with hope of recovery some loses in STO.
In my opinion, there is a place for both solutions on this market and each of them will cut out his piece of cake.

when compared to events like last year, it seems like today many are trying to lead new investor hype and also to make the market recover with new products and they try to use STO. , If this is the goal, maybe they will just repeat the same mistake. ICO and STO has no difference in this case. The point is they just need new investors 

[Invigorated]

I really think both of these lack real long term sustainability. This is why both ICO and Sto have struggled to make impacts recently. Most investors are fed up with the struggles of both. I think a new kind of token offering has to be introduced. One that ensures the challenges of ICO and STO are completely checkmated. It's only a matter of time before we see anything remarkable.

I see that everyone is discussing ICO and STO from the point of view of investors. However, in my opinion, we are here primarily bounty hunters and I would like to hear how the transition to STO will affect bounty hunters and their earnings. If STO is tokenized shares or tokenized assets, that is, externally, these will be the same tokens that we will receive in our wallets, then for bounty hunters, the transition to STO changes little.

[bartolo]

The difference between ICOs and STOs is just the token's function and definition. If the project fails, the token will be worthless, calling it and defining it as STO will not make any difference.

[Bttzed03]

We will probably see more STOs than ICOs this year. Whether or not this is the year of the STOs still depends on the project of course. Investors will invest based on different criteria and not just because it is a STO.

[shakesbear]

The market should come to a balance, I hope that it will be so, it would be to the benefit of all of us and investors and projects.

[ilhamsugihamin]

I haven't learned about STO, for me in 2019 something will come as a surprise. maybe one of them is this STO. because I hope there is a technology that can replace ICO. maybe this could be an ICO alternative because ICO is now mostly fraud and many die.

Until the bears leave the market and crypto growth begins, the “STO” will also not enjoy popularity. And judging by the pace of the market, it will not happen soon.

I think STO can be popular seeing in this way investors are safer. but as long as the market is still down it's hard to get investors interested. so as long as the market has not changed, STO and ICO will succeed.

You're wrong because the crypto currency market status can not stop the growth of STO because the mode of investment applied by the STOs is different and secure than ICOs cause STOs brings liquidity to investors which the reason why almost 97% STOs in the current market were participated by alot of investors around the world.

Yes, but there will not be the same excitement as in 2017 around ICO projects. After increasing the STO of projects, investors should start to return to the market.

[dewildance]

STOs managed to arouse interest. But I think the ICO process will continue for a while. Binance is preparing for the ICO for a project after BTT. And these moves of Binance reaffirmed the view of the ICO.

Maybe STOs can give a feeling to investors about security and legalization but there is no reason to ignore ICOs. Scammers are looking for new methods for stealing other people's money but it is not easy nowadays. STOs can prevent this fraud trend and ICOs need to adopt to these new ecosystem.

[karsy]

I think that it's too early to say that 2019 will be a year of STOs. I think it's more suitable say that it will be im 2020 when the market will recover from this deep and long falling.

[Phonexy]

I see no difference in an STO and an ICO, they are both digital currencies, they only difference is that they are categorised differently and STOs has a much stricter rule than an ICO because they are heavily regulated.
