Is ICO Dying ?

[Runbitup]

I have participated also in many bounties and it seems icos market is dying.  I see that the many reasons why most of them could not reach softcap was because of investors that has been scared from icos market due to scamming and lack of development in most of the projects they invested in.

anyone will also think twice if they want to invest in ICO now so it is not surprising if the ICO is currently difficult to reach the softcap.
if the trend can be changed then I'm sure ICO will be better than now.

ICOs and STOs are not dying they are just waiting for the better market conditions. I know tons of projects that have postponed their TGE due to the poor market and as soon as it recovers we will see a lot of new projects.

[Mr.Noda]

The ICO is likely to start bringing super-profits again not earlier than in a year then the ethereum will start to grow as it was already in 2017.

I also think that now many coins will be withdrawn from the market. They will clear a place for new projects and we will see the next growth of the entire cryptocurrency market.

Ico isn't dying but investors are less interested in investing in ico.

I think it is changing the demand for ICO and it will take by STOs.  ICO scammers make investor fed up with ICOs. 2019 will be great year for STOs and investors tend to invest again in crypto with STOs.

First there was ipo then ipo become ico and now ico will become sto.
It is all the same they are changing name.

Yes you are right, this does look the same, but at least with the new name they can improve their reputation and performance. You might be able to say it as a recovery of the previous dark image or whatever. But the point is their goal is very good, and I hope that in this way the cryptocurrency can be accepted back in the wider community.

[RokokGudangGaram]

it looks like yes because ICO enthusiasts are now a bit because investors are back in gold again because there are many ICOs that are waiting for each project

[Nesbee2]

 well, i will say yes, ICO is no more interesting because investors no longer make profits from buying ICOs, and there are a lot of scam ICOS emanating recently into the crypto space. Also,  recently ,prices of tokens dump much below ICO price when listed on exchange . this has  discouraged investors.

The icon ecosystem is not fully died but it in not going so well. At this moment in the market most of the icon project couldn't able to reach the soft cap. Very few are reaching the soft cap and fewer in them reaching the hard cap. There is many reason behind the whole market down. The main reason is market conditions. The whole crypto market is down and that effects the icon ecosystem. The next one is failed and scam icon. Many scams are around the every corner of the market. So investors are a bit afraid to investment.

I read statistics that investments in ICO have decreased by 95%. I think this statistic speaks about the death of this industry.

[yohananaomi]

Is your prediction correct? I feel it's not right, even though we have to admit that ico is in a difficult situation, I also follow a few, but they try to be able to keep going in all ways. one of them clearly prolongs the ico time from initial predictions, to be able to accommodate more so that it can be achieved. even after finishing holding him to see the market return to excitement.
but I strongly believe that the heyday will come back again, despite the problems that are big enough passion ico will return in its heyday.

[dobolspeed3]

Indeed, now many ICOs are competing with their respective goals, namely the achievement of softcap or hardcap. With this situation, it is very difficult to reach the softcap if it does not extend the ICO. And all of that returned from their respective projects. If the project is good, of course it will be very easy to reach softcap and hardcap.

[zikabra]

It is related to bitcoin price. Token value is usually calculated in usd while they are being sold for bitcoins and ethereum, when bitcoin and ethereum reached all time high whoever hold bitcoin could invest more funds in usd value and it was easier to reach soft and hard caps. In late 2017, if we take into consideration that token price is 0.1$, for 1 eth investors could get 10 times more tokens than today.

I read statistics that investments in ICO have decreased by 95%. I think this statistic speaks about the death of this industry.

I don't know whether this is true, where can we find statistic?

the current situation is different from the past. because most of the projects failed, and especially now there are many people who commit fraud in the ICO, so most investors feel cautious. because investors are investing a little money. so investors in choosing projects must be more careful.

[surgexvb]

Yes, STO is now becoming more popular, and the ICO market has begun to fade since last summer, and now the situation has only become worse and it is incredibly difficult for projects to raise enough money to promote their product.

[gerjiss]

ICO at the moment do not attract investors and at least therefore they will be doubtful and most likely unsuccessful. I do not advise you to invest in ICO now.

[jcmansah7]

No but rather the enthusiasm with which investors used to invest into ICOs are not there anymore and this is because of the numerous scam projects that have circulated through the crypto community. Anyway very relevant projects are still underway and you can invest into them after you have also made your research about them. Never take the words of someone as a decision, confirm with your own research findings.

[bangjoe]

maybe the reason is because STO has clearer laws that make it more credible than ICO, but I don't think people have forgotten ICO because there are still ICOs who have won hardcap, so I think it all depends on the team and the project is not about whether it's ICO or STO

[Ini35]

Projects are gradually evolving into new forms and that is whpy we are seeing some STOs and there are projects that were formerly ICO changing to STO.
I think most of them are still the same, except that it is believed that STIO is regulated.
ICOs are not dead, because I can still see some succeeding despite all odds.

[the_stars_are_numerous]

I think it depends on how we define success, really. Is a ICO successful just because its price increased? Or because it shows signs of adoption? Or because there is public awareness of it?

These are all very different things. And success in one area does not always translate to another.
