ICO IS ALIVE AND KICKING

[Lizzylove1]

I have taken part in many failed ICOs and few successful ones. After a series of failed ICOs owing to scam cases and insincere teams leading to heavy dump after listing and in turn blaming the bearish market, I have sometimes share in the sentiment of many projects who blame the bad market for their coin heavy dump, but two case study has shown that with a good team and the right strategy, their coin needs not dump to "hell-fire" as we are currently experiencing thereby discouraging investors.

Binance exchange have conducted two successful ICO/IEO on their launchpad, with both doing very well above the inertial offering. The first one is said to have lasted about 16mins and all sales was sold out. while the second one which I participated in only lasted just 22secs and individual  cap was $3,000. Both are currently doing very well above the ICO prices. With the success of these two launched so far. more and more people are interested in participating in such project as it has some level of trust and integrity, and not when team after conducting ICOs, will not even pay bounty hunters, but keep posting them, but when they finally pay and get listed, the price will just be a shit.

Anyone team still willing to conduct ICO should come up with a mechanism to defend their projects from gravitation free falls, so as investors don't loss hope in their project and later blame the hailing market. Hard times call for a new set of thinking for a change.

[monineklutak]

it is true that if the project has a good team then the risk of dump is very small even when bearish occurs but we also cannot deny that bearish is one of the factors causing a dump to occur. The reason is because investors usually don't just invest in one coin so that when there is bearish they suffer losses from other coins and to return their capital they will sell the good coins they have and because there are many investors who do that then the coins are good too will be hit by a dump because of the high volume of selling

[Buntel168]

Yeah ICO is alive. Not all ICO project turn to scam, we just have to be careful in choosing ICO project to invest. Many ICO are successful and one of them is Binance, their have great team and good platform. All of them make their tokens so valuable and become a profitable investment.

I agree on that, we need to choose the ICO project. Analyze first the content of the project if it is possible. Do some research on the core members, check I'd it is legitimate.

2 icos...on how many?
I think 2 icos went well is a super low number.

Do you have some real statistics? How many millions has been raised in this 2 months totally?

[rosezionjohn]

Yeah, the two sold out ICOs held at Binance just proved that ICOs are not dead or dying at all. Although a lot of credit has to be given to the Binance platform. If it wasn't for the brand that they were able to build, I doubt those two ICOs will be as successful as they were.

I agree with what the OP said because the good team and the right strategy were the main purpose for success of every business setting either in the crypto world or the real world business. However, ICO never died but the crypto community and investors are tired of scammed and failed ICOs project and what they need is a solution. Aside that, I heard that there are some foul play in the ICO conducted by Binance and I will advice the OP to be more careful if he supported the project.

[Bitcotalk]

As of today, we don't have a lot of persons investing in ICOs until there is a strong reason that the ICO conducted will be to everyone benefit and just the benefits of those who created the ICO as we have seen in time past.

I believe users are already moving from ICO to STO because companies that conducts STO already has a working project and it is easier to have trust in them then a company erupting from nowhere to conduct an ICO and at the end of the ICO make a way with users money or give users shitcoin that has no real market value.

We all know that Binance does not accept every project, so as the project is good, it gets a chance to trade in number one exchange. But  Binance is the biggest factor in this regard. Because there are dozens of similar projects that cannot even reach the softcap. I don't know anything about how much money is needed for listing, but Binance is an exchange that is made good money lately.

[Cat Coin]

There will always be new projects, and new investors who will participate in this. Do not participate in the new ICO, it is to stand still. It is necessary to choose carefully, and sometimes rely on intuition. It just has to be small amounts that are not critical to you.

[pat25]

Well, it is hard to say if listing an ICO on Binance Launchpad is good or not. Binance is carefully selecting which one ICO will be listed. But it is good when someone is doing this thing for us? I thought that cryptocurrencies offer free market and choice is on us.

Binance is the biggest exchange on coinmarketcap with a huge trade volume and followers, I like their new adopted approach to ICOs and I hope other exchanges will emulate them unlike Latoken which have become a shit haven

[richminded]

Yes many ICO are still working today and most of them are still a scam. They are so many meaningful project if you dig in the market place, we can still create profit but not that much. They will completely rise again when the market becomes more stable so if you are dealing with some projects right now, just keep on going it will still be worth it.

Well, it is hard to say if listing an ICO on Binance Launchpad is good or not. Binance is carefully selecting which one ICO will be listed. But it is good when someone is doing this thing for us? I thought that cryptocurrencies offer free market and choice is on us.

This can be a good one, if those real ICO was able to list on Binance Launchpad and for sure they can attract investor.

[edmundo]

I have noticed IEOs seem to be the in thing with several projects now opting to lists their tokens directly and Offering an initial exchange offering I stead of the traditional Initial Coin offering. While I understand that it is necessary to come up with ideas that could help stabilise the maintain the value of project tokens, I think, there should be plans to help maintain value over a period of time. IEO is great but I still think, it should be made in such a way that, it is less cumbersome and truly all inclusive to everyone aiming to get involved.

Many ico in last 2018 turn to scam and few of them success to survive in the market so we can say that ico is still kicking in the market all we need is carefulky research if the project have a product or make a goal to run on long term. Binance Ico is one of a popular ico I heared so far in just a minute the coins are sold this indicate that the popularity and being no.1 exchange makes investor to invest to this project.

Many ICOs made huge mistakes in a bear market and they always keep blaming the bounty hunters for a dump on exchanges after they get listed their token. Normal ICOs can't sell the coin and investors refuse to buy these tokens for the same reason. Their goal is to make money but reliable ICOs know how to attract new investors to their project.

[Reid]

And they really did defend the value of it by themselves.
How? They created their own exchange telling how much price per coin is.
They did not list to anything and cannot be found in coinmarketcap.

Problem is there is no buyer in their exchange so there os not much movement too.
It is a stagnant price.

[fuer44]

it should be like that, the ico mechanism is supposed to work and does not blame the situation that the market is falling as a whole. if the ico team does a good job and gets trust and support, I think the value of ico will never fall.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

You cannot compare an ICO that is created by a team of professionals with a lot of experience and already have a very successful website, like Binance team, with an ICO that is created by a team of people you have never heard before and you don't have any information about.
An ICO that is launched by a team who already had success with other projects before is a million times better than the other ICO's or at least that how it should be.

Binance launched ICOs are very famous and they mainly pumped hard for weeks. Don't compare Binance ICOs to regular or scam ICOs that blames market conditions in order to dodge the bad mouthes. ICOs don't make anything except copying the other's work and come to social media with a unique idea. Even my grandma can do it.

[bitgov]

The best period for ICO was in 2017 and the situation is now much different from that. I think that ICO has a very big potential as a way to collect money, but it needs a better market situation for investors to return.

Before you join, somehow, some projects have already raised a desired amount of fund and almost near to reach their softcap. In that case, what you need to do is to choose those project, and verify it as possible. They are worthier than other ICO's.

[Ararbermas]

Yes there are some ICO that still kicking on this situation but only those project that have a good team behind still remaining including  finished projects.  By the way it's good for all of us at least to reduced risky situation   i hope soon those ponzi schemes disappear suddenly on this kind of business so that  everything is fine and ensured.

[elzjmirra]

Trust in the ICO is now very far down and the main cause is many failed projects and fraudulent projects. Like Binance, he has a very good team and has proven successful. But for other ICOs that are running, they must have a good system and a good team. That way the project can gain investor trust.

[Janna_MaMa]

ICO is alive. But in this current market, it is very difficult to find a quality ICO. therefore, we should carefully consider carefully. And Binance is too great about the quality of the team and the technology

It all actually depends on how active a team is on marketing and finding good partnership. I knew some projects who succeeded during their ICO even when ICO was dead. So, it is all about the team's strategy and activity to atract investors and supporters.

[plr]

It's 1 out of 10 it's backed by a legit company so success is guaranteed, but there are still so many scams ICO in our midst and investors and bounty hunters are having a hard time finding one, even those rating sites are not helping the ICO industry, they are adding mess to this industry.

[Amalker]

Yea, Binance shows that ICO is still can give a profit. I think we will see soon that another platforms/exchanges launch their own lunch pad with several projects.

[Loedong]

The best period for ICO was in 2017 and the situation is now much different from that. I think that ICO has a very big potential as a way to collect money, but it needs a better market situation for investors to return.

for this year period, it seems like ico is not too good, there are many of them who fail and finally scam besides the market situation which is not supporting some investors of course many are reconsidering before investing in ico at this time.

[florac9]

You are so right ,developers just can't keep blaming the market condition ,with new thinking and strategy they should be able to keep there tokens at a reasonable price even if dumpers dump theres. ICO is indeed far from dead if you know how to spot them

[Herbert2020]

many of the ICOs have been doing money laundering specially those that are filled within minutes are obviously laundering millions of dollars of dirty money with fake accounts. that is why they get filled so fast! from outside it looks like they are successful but their success is not in running an ICO, their success is in washing their dirty money and cleaning it without the authorities knowing what they are doing yet.
in fact that is one of the reasons why they are getting banned in most countries around the world.

[rhyajelle]

that's the ICO cycle. some are successful and of course there are those that are not, which are all determined by the efforts of the development team
Many ICOs are not successful because indeed the developer is not serious about making the project and only wants investor money.

There is no logical sense why they are blaming bear market just like you said. If the coin is really good or the project has potential, the price of it will not drastically go down. You have made a fair point here and I think the same too. I am happy that Binance prove that ICO is still alive

[Aryleeto]

Well , I think also when the bullish trend in bitcoin begins then the rest of the market and in particular the ico , I think the ico will not be as successful as in 2017, but if the project is good then it will be able to raise enough funds!

[herdiansyahdanang]

Will ICO be back again as it did in 2017 at that time, but now ICO is also good after entering the market, sometimes the price is not as expected, matching my ICO price is already good especially the price above the ICO.

[Ucy]

Do you think getting ICOs funded in matter of minutes is healthy for the crypto world? It seems few people are buying up the tokens which could lead to the tokens being centralized.
By the way, what are the criteria for launching an ICO on the Bianance platform? How feasible are the projects?
If it's too good to be true, it probably is

[BADBITCH]

Ico is alive and atleast 50% has done well in 2019
But it is not kicking; we have failed icos and runaway icos than successfull ones
And that’s not a good ratio

NO! ICO is dead and buried. What other explanation do you need to understand that everyone has almost drifted away from the ICOs? How many successful ICOs have you seen from June last year till date?

Only binance based ICOs are successful and regular ICOs are failed like in domino effect after the crash on Bitcoin price. This year nothing good and special event happened in the cryosphere, so expecting high amounts from ICOs are insignificant. Let's hope in future things will turn in our favour.

[coin-investor]

People here are not looking in the scam sections to check how many ICO that turned to scam, ICO that people trust to deliver them great projects and huge projects are gone to waste, the list is very long and new ones are being discovered or question, ICO is alive and kicking they are alive and kicking to scam us.

[inanilujimi]

I think that because of the exchange factor and the one that promotes them is binance.
who have good trust for crypto users.
but the problem is not all ICOs can cooperate with binance.
so it's just a good team and strong enough to work with binance.

[danherbias07]

Isn't it late already?

The investors are already discouraged with a lot of ICO scams.
Looks like that wound is already a scar so it wont be easy to hide anymore.

The media and social media have already spread that to whole wide world and web.
They shouldve just stayed with bitcoin. All those millions of dollars could have been a big pump instead of risking it.

[JeBro]

Everyone just needs to be selective in choosing an ICO project to avoid scam. There are a lot of good projects at the present time offering a lot of original ideas. However, the main problem for these ICO projects are mistakes that occur during listing on crypto exchanges. As a rule, most of the ICO projects start listing from small decentralized exchanges, where the price of tokens falls several times and they become uninteresting and frightening for investors. I think such projects should not rush and listing only on large crypto exchanges. In this case, price falls will be avoided.

[libert19]

Good ICOs are still thriving (although not all may have reached hardcap/softcap), some projects even continued their product without reaching their softcap. I guess that should be the spirit of every ICO.

I'm glad that not all ICOs are getting successful, in late 2017 or early 2018 many icos raised millions but what was their product? A mobile app. Lol!

[Sacramentus]

There are still ICOs out there that are still doing well and also I love the fact that there is becoming an approach on how ICOs can raise funds which is the IEO. That will help maintain some Trust on the fund raising scheme and minimise the lack of trust investors already having on ICOs

ICOs are riddled with various pump and dump schemes. Good thing also that I'm currently monitoring my live trading sessions. With the entry of new ICOs almost every day, the trust is lost completely. There is a new ICO that is secure like Fort Knox. It is Bitstraq’s BAQ tokens. Bitstraq is an unique exchange that uses AI and Blockchain protocol for security. It also has aims to evolve into a Security Token Exchange with all the regulations of the STO. With AI, Bitstraq secures the exchange under lock and key. Any signs of threat, Bitstraq retaliates the attacks and stores the behaviour of the attack in a threat reputation database. The Bitstraq’s order matching engine will match orders between buyers and sellers in a secure environment. It allows for millions of transactions per second with low latency and zero- trade leakage. Just my two cents on this. Best of luck!

[SistaFista]

I have taken part in many failed ICOs and few successful ones. After a series of failed ICOs owing to scam cases and insincere teams leading to heavy dump after listing and in turn blaming the bearish market, I have sometimes share in the sentiment of many projects who blame the bad market for their coin heavy dump, but two case study has shown that with a good team and the right strategy, their coin needs not dump to "hell-fire" as we are currently experiencing thereby discouraging investors.

Binance exchange have conducted two successful ICO/IEO on their launchpad, with both doing very well above the inertial offering. The first one is said to have lasted about 16mins and all sales was sold out. while the second one which I participated in only lasted just 22secs and individual  cap was $3,000. Both are currently doing very well above the ICO prices. With the success of these two launched so far. more and more people are interested in participating in such project as it has some level of trust and integrity, and not when team after conducting ICOs, will not even pay bounty hunters, but keep posting them, but when they finally pay and get listed, the price will just be a shit.

Anyone team still willing to conduct ICO should come up with a mechanism to defend their projects from gravitation free falls, so as investors don't loss hope in their project and later blame the hailing market. Hard times call for a new set of thinking for a change.

Yes it is, ICO is still alive and keep running. The problem is, many investors of ICO are afraid to put their money on ICO because there were many scam.
Unless the ICO project is solid and very good, they won't be able to raised enough funds.
I am interesting about what you said, the ICO conducted by Binance exchange. Will they launch another ICO later ?

[cizatext]

That is very correct, the only thing needed for a good and successful ICO is the team behind the project ones the to.e are focused and innovative the rest is history. There are so many successful ICO even during period of market crisis, those ICO that have failed are just simply scam and weak projects the ICO market is still doing great.

I like your Thread its very compelling and positive and i agree with you ICO was still alive and kicking. The missing piece was only the trust and confidence that stolen from the ICO's by the fly by night Scammers. if this important piece was restored on any ICO's STO's etc. I believe that ICO will be great again. Why they are not copy the Binance strategy for ICO/IEO for good.

[stigmacryptonight]

The team is really needed in a project and you must also remember the product of the project. Because it will form demand in a project. Because the successful ICO project is certainly the most awaited product of the project.

[cuo]

Today we have bad situation in ICO and also crypto market, so many project fail cause market going bearish all the time, it's not forever but it will dump to new token or coin. So many project become scam cause not reach the target, and in my oppinion, this isn't cause of bear market, but investor will confuse cause soo many project run today.

[arifteguhr]

Good ICOs are still thriving (although not all may have reached hardcap/softcap), some projects even continued their product without reaching their softcap. I guess that should be the spirit of every ICO.

I'm glad that not all ICOs are getting successful, in late 2017 or early 2018 many icos raised millions but what was their product? A mobile app. Lol!

therefore in this year until the following year the ICO can improve and develop again, as in 2017, with many successful ICOs, now there are fewer successful ICOs.

[Kevin77]

Many people see bearish markets as one animal that has legs and pursuing everyone away when most of these ICOs don’t understand that they are the ones controlling their market with their strategies and team member, if most ICOs works so hard to make their project much active successful and useful, the sky will be their limit, ICOS project team needs to do more than just sitting down and also waiting for the BULL RUN without investors, they need to reach out to investors and make their project one you can’t say NO to.

[radokan]

One day ICOs launched on Binance launchepad will start failing. All this looks like investors are investing because of platform where ico is launched and announced, not because they think project is good or because it could accomplish their goals. I don't know how this can be good, time will tell.

[Mpamaegbu]

Why is no one mentioning the names of these two ICOs held on the Binance launchpad? Is it also shredded in secrecy? Anyway, I still remain skeptical on ICOs generally until proper regulation and control are put in place as measures for scam control.

[Raymondavid47]

Yeah ICO is still alive and kicking, it's just that its not as lucrative as before so much people don't go into it. But funny enough some projects still hit their hardcap.
But some project now get funds from private investors and institutional investors, so u may not likely see a public ico being held.

[Invigorated]

Am afraid this may not be true for most projects out there. The level of enthusiasm has reduced tremendously owing to the fact that most people have lost interests in participating in tokensales due to sad experiences and countless losses on ico investments. These, together with the poor turn of events in the crypto market has meant people are scared of investing anymore. Unless something different happens, this issue may continue for the unforeseeable future.

[kawetsriyanto]

Yeah, I am aware of the very bad situation on ICOs currently. Just few successful ICOs and most turn to failed and scam projects. This is a strong reason for investors to avoid ICOs. Many investors prefer to buy new coins/tokens on exchanges now. It indicates the decrease in trust to ICO massively. If there are no changes in ICOs, then we may lose ICO forever.   

[VieleSind]

Yeah ICO is alive. Not all ICO project turn to scam, we just have to be careful in choosing ICO project to invest. Many ICO are successful and one of them is Binance, their have great team and good platform. All of them make their tokens so valuable and become a profitable investment.

I agree on that, we need to choose the ICO project. Analyze first the content of the project if it is possible. Do some research on the core members, check I'd it is legitimate.

So you mean that all ICO projects which you invested before were picked randomly? I think there is nothing new although it was bullrun time at the end of 2017. We still have to research, analyze,....a lot of things related to ICO projects before investing.

[Burogh]

A lot ICO scam last year and make investor less confident on ICOs. Many good project with good team had affected and not reach the target but i am believe people will more carefull when join in ICOs

This is just one of the many reasons, the main reason really is not the scam, it's the market condition which is still in  bearish mode.
We know there are plenty of scams but we have smarter investors now and they can determine which projects are scam or not and they can also be profitable if only the market is in good condition.

The market does look less friendly, but if indeed the ICO team has expertise and professionals, market conditions are not an obstacle to continue developing. We must realize the market with this situation, the ICO team does have to be more creative to find loopholes in order to be better and better accepted by the market.

[patz22]

Havent heard any other successful ICO late last year and early this year that are successful other than binance launchpad. Of course, it is reputable and surely demand flows like you only have like 0.0000.1% of getting in. Lucky for those who were able to get in sincr after listing there's a sure profit of 4x-5x. However I started thinking, is this their new way to get most of peoples money? I leave it here.

[South Park]

Anyone team still willing to conduct ICO should come up with a mechanism to defend their projects from gravitation free falls, so as investors don't loss hope in their project and later blame the hailing market. Hard times call for a new set of thinking for a change.

I disagree, what you are proposing is that the developers should somehow control the price of their coin and we know that price controls have never worked and there are countless instances of this happening through history and turning out badly, the market should decide what it is the price of something and if at some point the market decides that the value of the coin in which you invested should be very low but you are sure that it is a good project then you should take advantage of it and get more of that coin while it is undervalued.

[onetrinity]

Wondering how much did Binance earn from those ICOs. Even if those 2 succeeded, how many ICOs failed or turned out to be a scam so the success rate if joining an ICO is somewhat small.

[overnight03]

Investing in ICO projects is still good and you can make a profit if you invest in an ICO project with a good team and platform like Binance, I tried to join binance's ICO but they sold out !

Honestly the market isn't friendly when it comes to altcoins. This is why many have been doubtful of investing in altcoins, but there are good coins nonetheless. I think rather than finding ways or loopholes for the coin to be accepted by the market, ICO developers should now come up with a way of being different from other coins. I think this is why the altcoin market has become so saturated now -- almost every coin has almost the same characteristics and purposes. There's hardly any new or unique projects anymore, so why would one be interested in a project which is almost the same as the others?

ICOs success depends on team performance. If the team are experienced, well cooperated, future oriented, past successful backgroun, project will sure success but at present many failed ICOs due to bad market and team's inexperienced attitude.

[Little Mouse]

True project with creative idea and good management team can really still get success. Successful mostly depend on the projects idea and man behind it. Binance is well reputed and that's why those two ICO get success.

[michellee]

Investing in ICO projects is still good and you can make a profit if you invest in an ICO project with a good team and platform like Binance, I tried to join binance's ICO but they sold out ! 

I am not sure about that because it's very difficult to find a good project and a solid team. We know that the ICO has the worst time in the last year and many investors disappointed with almost all project. The team cannot answer the delaying their token, and they can not get the list on the exchanges. But with Binance, it's different than the other project because Binance have a solid team and they have their market.

[rdewilde]

Wondering how much did Binance earn from those ICOs. Even if those 2 succeeded, how many ICOs failed or turned out to be a scam so the success rate if joining an ICO is somewhat small.

I think they earn a lot from those projects. I predict they can earn at least $ 5-10 million for each successful project. And of course those projects must be really good to be chosen

[Cekalt]

There are still some that are decent and can be trusted. Make sure they have a good working product before investing.

[Georgiyk]

I think that ico will reach a new level, but only after it is cleared of fraudulent projects.
As for Binans, it has already been noted that if Binans includes a coin in the listing, investor confidence rises and the token rate rises

[Bitcotalk]

Isn't it late already?

The investors are already discouraged with a lot of ICO scams.
Looks like that wound is already a scar so it wont be easy to hide anymore.

The media and social media have already spread that to whole wide world and web.
They shouldve just stayed with bitcoin. All those millions of dollars could have been a big pump instead of risking it.

It’s never too late. Even now if you could find better projects to invest into than your investment could be multiplied by a numerous amount. There should be a defined classification between scam projects and real and profitable projects where investors could invest their money into.

Scam projects should be removed completely from the markets so that the investors can trust back the markets where they could invest into.

This is exactly what has always been my point and view which you already hit the nail on the head, I think it is high time we personally focus on BITCOIN and forget about all these ICOs that are just there milking and scamming people thereby discouraging the block chain technology acceptance.

If bitcoin was to be the only coin in the market, a lot of investors both new and old would have done better by investing in the reliable coin thereby making the coin appreciate and widely known. Very soon, many people will get into ICO with the aim of just coming in to raise money and getting out without any form of traces and you know, we have a lot of gullible investors in the market.

[Galantin]

I will say this. I know a few projects that came out at a good price and continue to grow. Projects come from Korea. So why are Russian and European projects falling so fast? The answer is simple. Perhaps they are just fraudsters who are looking for easy money. I haven’t seen quality projects from these regions for a long time.

[ven7net]

You are absolutely right! The problems of many ico are not due to the situation in the crypto market, but because of the fraud on the part of the ico administration, who at the beginning and fundraising process promise to do everything to achieve all goals, but at the end of ico they drastically change their position and say that they are not interested in the price of their coin or token, but only the product. In sum, all cryptoactive holders of such ico understand that they have been thrown and quickly merge their resulting cryptocurrency in order to return at least some of the money invested. It should be the other way around. Part of the collected money, you need to allocate to maintain the liquidity of your cryptoactive. I see it that way.

[allohha]

I believe that many teams of new projects took a certain pause to save their ideas for a more appropriate time. I think that after stabilization of the cryptocurrency market, these new projects will have much more chances to show real results in the company's ico market .

[playboy654]

But it's been not suitable for everyone who are invested here because a lots of investors leave their investment and they are doing some other way of money making so I think a lots of people still stuck with their investment on ICO.

[taktik]

But it's been not suitable for everyone who are invested here because a lots of investors leave their investment and they are doing some other way of money making so I think a lots of people still stuck with their investment on ICO.

It seems to me that more investments will be received by those companies that will have more opportunities to protect the rights of investors and give the cryptocurrency user legal opportunities to appeal against the wrong actions of the company’s team.

[Eildosa]

I agree that if the project has a good team, the problem with the decline of the price of the coin they should not be. When they launch ICO, they should understand what the situation is in the market and should anticipate all possible outcomes of events.

[CoinCollect]

You're right. But I don't think that if the team can't handle the price of their coin, it means that the project is bad. I met coins, which then grew rapidly.

[BCTS]

ICO at the moment is more dead than alive, as you can see how many projects there are and how many of them constantly extend the terms of the ICO.

[mamesso]

I am sure there are still many quality ico, and the team works well to keep prices from falling.
but some people say that ico has no hope and is mostly scam and deceptive.

[MuffinMaster]

I am sure that ICOs will be kicking, but first people must learn how to avoid scammers and how to make good research about dev team, idea and whitepaper. I'm sure that with time this education will come and ICO market will explode with huge number of succeful projects!

Binance launchpad for ICOs has certainly done very well. It is due to both Binance's vetting of high quality projects and also their marketing muscle.They will have more ICOs launching in future.

[Jadesola]

Though we have got too many fake project that have lead to fake ICO but the truth is that there are still some ICO that are good if only we can get the right information.

[fullhdpixel]

The best period for ICO was in 2017 and the situation is now much different from that. I think that ICO has a very big potential as a way to collect money, but it needs a better market situation for investors to return.

Back then, ICOs were still quite strange to many people and what made them gain popularity so much was the rise of bitcoin that made everyone want to enter the market I think, nowadays, many ICO’s don’t meet up to expectations or scam innocent investors of their money.

Majority of investors are just waiting for the ones they have already participated in by investing to pick up first before they continue investing in other ones they consider has having potentials.

You are right with the fall of many ICO which leads to heavy lose of money, this made lots of investors scared of investing in new projects no matter how great the team is and the project may be. Due to the past experience but if you can still lay hands on some good projects which are still at they ICO stage one can still make good profit out of it.

[belli4388]

yes the ico are still alive but we have to know how to choose well, many are scam but there are also some valid ones, if chosen the right one that has a solid team behind and a possible application on the market after the inevitable value dump after the end of the ico then the price can go up and give satisfaction to investors

[beehimneff]

Yes, I also think so, the creators of the projects need to develop a competent strategy to their coin, getting to the market is not reduced in price, but it is a very difficult task in a bear market. A lot of interesting ICO because of the illiterate strategy in the bear market failed and it is very upsetting.

[davinchi]

Yeah, I am aware of the very bad situation on ICOs currently. Just few successful ICOs and most turn to failed and scam projects. This is a strong reason for investors to avoid ICOs. Many investors prefer to buy new coins/tokens on exchanges now. It indicates the decrease in trust to ICO massively. If there are no changes in ICOs, then we may lose ICO forever.   

A lot ICO scam last year and make investor less confident on ICOs. Many good project with good team had affected and not reach the target but i am believe people will more carefull when join in ICOs

This is just one of the many reasons, the main reason really is not the scam, it's the market condition which is still in  bearish mode.
We know there are plenty of scams but we have smarter investors now and they can determine which projects are scam or not and they can also be profitable if only the market is in good condition.

My brother, it is not about being smart or not that makes one invest in the right project, in fact a lot of these smart investors are the ones that fall into the hands of these people most, looking at the soft cap or hard cap they place on the ICOs which they eventually reach before going away with the money and money running into so much millions of dollars, the question is, how many people that are not financially very buoyant made this possible? It is few,  most of these smart investors with big capital are the ones them get to their soft/hard cap quick.

Hence, are we saying someone that has over 500 thousand usd to invest in a project at once is not smart enough, if he wasn’t smart in business, then he would not have had such amount of money to invest. So, the most important thing is to be careful in project one is investing in and believing that it will not be a scam, which is why it is necessary not to invest so much in projects one is not sure of.

[bitc0000]

I am sure there are still many quality ico, and the team works well to keep prices from falling.
but some people say that ico has no hope and is mostly scam and deceptive.

I really like projects that operate and keep the token price from falling too deeply. But there are many projects that don't care about token prices. They let it fall 10-100 times in just 1 year, so bad

[Kiweikoo]

There needs to be a lot of changes which should be done to the ICO sales to make them more trustworthy as not each investor these days have faith into these kind of sales. On other hand, the sales which you mentioned started by binance are really smooth with a solid team and a good roadmap which is been followed so they were been sold out in less than half hour.

[samelvis]

ICO is coming back to life now but the most successful ones are those being conducted on exchanges. Such as bittorent and FET these ico have given more than x5 upom listing.  I believe that if your project has good use and hype ico will be wonderful

[dihari]

Binance have their own due diligence and regulations to deal with any project teams. It's easy to get funded when you get a "trust label" by binance. But imagine when you are only an ordinary man that have a dream to create something big in crypto space but don't have any friends that space, of course you need to start it with a small step and take as many helps you can get by as much as people to make your dream come true.

You can't blame some project just because their token price on market didn't show up like what you want. Blame the team because they can't deliver what they promised.

[TomiJerry]

If you devote enough time to research, it is quite possible to choose a decent honest ISO with a lively professional team, open to dialogue, with an understandable technical document, realistic plans and quite achievable goals.

You can't blame some project just because their token price on market didn't show up like what you want. Blame the team because they can't deliver what they promised.

Both are to be blamed, We blame the team and the project, we blame the project in the sense that the project might be one that is not useful to the community no matter how much they hype it, what is the benefit of it to the community and the project team we blame as they ought to have use their senses better when bringing out a project that requires the attention of the world.

Because, when it comes to ICO, they are not only dealing with their country citizen, they are dealing with people from different parts of the world, some of these team don’t even believe In the project and that is why they end up paying someone to construct the whitepaper that has lots of lies in it.

[Stanlo]

And that's why I feel that ICOs aren't dead yet,people rush the bitorrent project and fetch project because they are launch on binance and just imagine this ,will binance promote a scam project ? Of cos not ,investors trust binance and binance won't want to promote scam because we all know what will happen it they do

[Everglow]

Now really quality projects are seeking capital from investment funds and private investors. In addition, the number of tokens for a fixed team at a low level will also ensure its price. Part of the important part is that they only spend a small part for bounty.

[Hivalley]

A bad market is a bad bad market, and it definitely must have an effect in prices of coins, though it may not be the only reason why a lot of projects aren't succeeding, but it is one major reason, although some projects, very few actually manage to thrive under the conditions, but those are the best of the rest.
If the market were to be good, so many failed projects would probably have been selling far above their ico price, but thats at the moment a distant reality for them

[sctunter]

yeah agree with you
ico is not end yet, still many ICO that have chance to shine in this market condition
we just need to select the right one

[joseyphil82]

There will come to a time that only few ICOs will be the successful ones and the rest won't see any single penny in there ICO at all ,this will forced investors to go after projects with guaranteed of success ,I know ICO is not dead yet but people needs better assurance before investing ,its not easy

[Mmesooma1]

I have taken part in many failed ICOs and few successful ones. After a series of failed ICOs owing to scam cases and insincere teams leading to heavy dump after listing and in turn blaming the bearish market, I have sometimes share in the sentiment of many projects who blame the bad market for their coin heavy dump, but two case study has shown that with a good team and the right strategy, their coin needs not dump to "hell-fire" as we are currently experiencing thereby discouraging investors.

Binance exchange have conducted two successful ICO/IEO on their launchpad, with both doing very well above the inertial offering. The first one is said to have lasted about 16mins and all sales was sold out. while the second one which I participated in only lasted just 22secs and individual  cap was $3,000. Both are currently doing very well above the ICO prices. With the success of these two launched so far. more and more people are interested in participating in such project as it has some level of trust and integrity, and not when team after conducting ICOs, will not even pay bounty hunters, but keep posting them, but when they finally pay and get listed, the price will just be a shit.

Anyone team still willing to conduct ICO should come up with a mechanism to defend their projects from gravitation free falls, so as investors don't loss hope in their project and later blame the hailing market. Hard times call for a new set of thinking for a change.

ICOs have sort of remodeled its structure. It's now done on exchanges as IEO. The exchange verifies the team to ensure they are not clones, evaluate tokenomics and eery other factor that will guarantee success.

[South Park]

This is exactly what has always been my point and view which you already hit the nail on the head, I think it is high time we personally focus on BITCOIN and forget about all these ICOs that are just there milking and scamming people thereby discouraging the block chain technology acceptance.

If bitcoin was to be the only coin in the market, a lot of investors both new and old would have done better by investing in the reliable coin thereby making the coin appreciate and widely known. Very soon, many people will get into ICO with the aim of just coming in to raise money and getting out without any form of traces and you know, we have a lot of gullible investors in the market.

Even if I support bitcoin above any other coin I will not like the idea of bitcoin being the only cryptocurrency in the market, we need altcoins no only because with altcoins you can test new ideas and see if they work before being implemented in bitcoin but altcoins are also important in the case the governments find a way to shutdown bitcoin, that way we will have some alternatives instead of trying to begin from zero all over again.

I think the binance exchange is top-notch and can participate in crowdfunding sales on this exchange, indicating that the project is successful and the team is strong, so it will be snapped up by most investors.

[Kriptos]

I agree that not all ICOs are scam or dead. Therefore, we are required to be more selective in choosing ICO and I believe we will definitely get ICO that is truly real and good if we are smart in assessing an ICO project before we decide to join and support it.

[Shatterlean22]

There are still good ICO in crypto space and there are many bad ones too its our call to fish the bad ones out and stop promoting them ,this way we can reduce scam ICOs

[Chika08]

ICOs are still alive and strong, although we can still see many projects fail but the strong ones still make it though. I believe we will be a kind of step up in the fund raising scheme as we can see the existence of IEO offering that makes it more easier for projects funding

[budakjawa]

ICO is still alive and can still grow so that in the future the ICO will improve and ICO fraud will decrease, which is expected by many people to facilitate the project.
One project that fails is a Scam and if it is reduced, the ad will have a good chance for the project to run well.
don't make all the reasons so you don't participate in various ICO projects, it won't fail all of them.

ICO can still make a good profit, but you need to work too much to find a decent project, but this is not a fact that will help to avoid scams that just kill all the desire to invest in ICO

[louisBSAS]

Difficult times for ICO have come with a fall in the cryptocurrency market. Investors were afraid to invest in new projects because of fraudsters and the constant fall in prices for purchased coins. Now the exchanges will take away everyone who wants to invest in their projects and there will be no free investors for ordinary ICO.

[949miner]

ICO is definitely alive and kicking but the rate at which people use to join ICO project reduced by a huge number. Back in 2017, investors do not think twice before they invest in an ICO project. But now, they are very scared of investing their income into up and  coming ICO projects due to the scam nature of most ICO projects launched...

it is true to overcome this hope that the team involved in the ICO project will convince investors and work well together so as to provide the same benefits, the occurrence of this may be due to the results obtained so much that many use funds as fraud, we certainly all wish the best for future ICO project projects.

Many projects at this time fail, failure can occur during the project is underway because the revenue target is not reached or after the project is completed where the expected price of the coin does not get a market response, so the price is very cheap.
In addition, many speculative ICO organizers, pursuing short-term things, such as cheating, and are many who are pessimistic about the current crypto project.

The market capitalization has been greatly reduced since 2018 and ICO investment is extremely dangerous at this time. The best way is to stay away because most are scams. This market needs to change in order to achieve a larger goal in order to earn good profits. I believe that investing in ICO projects is not recommended and currently the IEO is a new trend

[Robotbitcoin22]

ICO Currently it is trying to improve their image in people who have already been referred to as fraudulent programs, but I think that is difficult because the ico scheme is still the same and also nothing has changed in terms of capital , anyone can make ico this time

[pieppiep]

ICO Currently it is trying to improve their image in people who have already been referred to as fraudulent programs, but I think that is difficult because the ico scheme is still the same and also nothing has changed in terms of capital , anyone can make ico this time

I think that any effort to increase the interest to participate in the ICO world is no longer meaningful, they are the popes and investors see that there are so many ICOs that are not good at this time and cannot provide benefits, so that makes ico a lot failed.

[South Park]

I agree that not all ICOs are scam or dead. Therefore, we are required to be more selective in choosing ICO and I believe we will definitely get ICO that is truly real and good if we are smart in assessing an ICO project before we decide to join and support it.

It is true there are some good projects out there but they are so rare and are outnumbered by so many scams that urging people to become more selective is not right, people should be honest with themselves and admit that if they do not know anything about investing then they should probably not do it, but their greed is too big and they cannot accept that some people are getting huge profits while they are not, not understanding that most of those that are profitable are getting their profits out of people like them.

I know all attention might be on Binance with Celer concluding it's ICO in less than 18 minutes. Linix sold out on Probit exchange in minutes too. ICOs are back

[Ronaldcoin2017]

Ico is really alive even if the ICO community is affected with so many scam ico from the past year it is still alive and kicking, I believe that ico is an amazing ways to earn and there are still so many people that believe on it. We only need to choose the legit and profitable ico for good maybe we need to be more careful on choosing ICO for good.

[aokiji06]

Your series of explanations is indeed very detailed, indeed you have to be careful in investing in ICO, especially if the team, advisors, their projects are not yet trusted or experienced.
because team trust and good projects are the main factors in ICO's success, moreover if the project team already has a good name in the world crypto.student learning and looking for something positive is the key to success

[robelneo]

Binance just had their third sold out IEO and they will continue to have a success until some of the projects they supported proved to be a weak project in the long run, it's like a domino effect for investors, they will go where the money is, and right now IEO is the best investment platform.

[Stella_btc]

Ico is not best way how to get money and profit right now, never trying for investing more on ICO because you will be more disappointed when price listing on exchange lower, keep investing after listing on exchange market.

[Azuliand]

I agree, there are a lot of investors on this platform, the ico is now very little in demand, few of the latest projects were able to collect the hardcap , I think the ico may disappear (

[Vishnu.Reang]

One or two successful ICOs doesn't mean that the ICO market has suddenly come back to life. For every ICO that has been a success, there are dozens that have failed. And a temporary upswing in ICO funding can be attributed to dirty money (stolen coins, dark market revenue) being diverted to the ICO sector. There are some rumors going around.

[iancortis]

because of the effect of approaching bull in the market, we cant say about a 100% but ico are riding back in the flow, and many more adopting the crypto things they want risk their goods.

[awakpane]

In my opinion, lately it's difficult to find a good and lively ICO. sometimes when we first see ICO with a good concept, in the end their sales do not develop so that the progress of a project is hampered.

Of course it is. ICOs will always be alive and kicking. We cannot deny the fact that there are many ICOs that are scam but there are also some that are worth looking. Its just a matter of how to choose the right ICOs. Its always been an essential part of cryptocurrency so I don't think that ICOs will ceased to exist. To make it better, we just have to find ways on how to eliminate scam ICOs.

[MiF]

And a temporary upswing in ICO funding can be attributed to dirty money (stolen coins, dark market revenue) being diverted to the ICO sector. There are some rumors going around.

You're certainly right, ICO cannot recover as fast as it has been expected so far because it needs enough time to develop a sustainable and profitable price. Well, all those mentioned negative statements definitely was the reasons why most of the projects now been struggling to rise after ICO. Partly, that's indeed believable due to crypto was an anonymous currency and they couldn't trace where that money really came from.

[judeafante]

I don't KNOW what's alive and kicking when I seldom see any good ICO around, some of the best projects have shifted to IEO and STO so they can be assured of being funded, that's the real picture, we have seen so many failed ICO and so many complaints coming from investors and bounty hunters and the scam sections are the proof that ICO has too many scams projects.

[CryptoIyke]

Whoever still holding eth still should just be patient more as it will most likely make a remarkable pump, it has been one of the altcoins that have had a sluggish growth compared to btc, soon it may surprise us just like it did in 2017, ltc is its world already no need for rash comparison

[Mikcik]

Binance just had their third sold out IEO and they will continue to have a success until some of the projects they supported proved to be a weak project in the long run, it's like a domino effect for investors, they will go where the money is, and right now IEO is the best investment platform.

The IEO on Binance is an unprecedented opportunity to make money this year, but it is quite difficult to join it now because the opportunity is not much because there are more participants than before. However, I will not miss any of Binance next IEO

[capitan_rocotan]

There are already too many ICO projects. And very few of them were really interesting and helpful. Isn't it time to stop?

[Koadharber]

ICO is still alive but its reputation is not good anymore because many investors lost their trust into the ICO's how many times ICO project turns into scam,thats why investors now are transfer investing into IEO because it is already listed into the exchanges but we cannot tell that it is 100% safe investment because risk is always if we invest what we need to do is to be more careful when selecting a project to invest.

[Kay94]

There are too many ICO projects in cryptocurrency now but they aren't reliable because of their scam activities. In fact ICOs reputation has reduced drastically.

[Emmy92]

ICO is alive? Can you mention 2 projects conducting ICO now?
I don't think there are much activities in ICO realm again, as they brought the bad name on their selves. Investors believed in ICO thus their utmost participation, and what was their reward? Scams etc.
With investors now in the IEO realm, I think it will be difficult for them to participate in ICO again.

[Pet240]

Innovation in product and marketing are what is needed for successful ICO, both before and after listing on exchange.
There were coins that did not dump after listing, despite coming from ICO. They did several stages of growth before any fall, which might not even be below the ICO price.

[jambul_kribo]

There are too many ICO projects in cryptocurrency now but they aren't reliable because of their scam activities. In fact ICOs reputation has reduced drastically.

they have no product that will developted.or atleast their product useless in cryptocurrency market, so there is no investors or traders collect their coins.moreover in this moment , existing coins show its power again in market.top 100 cmc coins price rising again after in several months drop.investors prefer invest on it.

[Folajuwon56]

Yes.
ICOs are still very much alive and really kicking. Although things has been bad for ICOs generally but still, ICOs are still moving forward.

[Fredomago]

ICO is still alive but its reputation is not good anymore because many investors lost their trust into the ICO's how many times ICO project turns into scam,thats why investors now are transfer investing into IEO because it is already listed into the exchanges but we cannot tell that it is 100% safe investment because risk is always if we invest what we need to do is to be more careful when selecting a project to invest.

They seen opportunities much quicker if they will invest with IEO instead of waiting that long without any guarantee if the coins will be listed or it will
perform after reaching the exchange, but summing it up there's still people who taking the risk investing with ICO's.

[setialovers]

ICO has begun to be replaced by the existence of the IEO. For many investors, the IEO is more attractive because it offers certainty about projects and listings on the market. Investors certainly want the tokens they buy to be quickly traded on the market and withdraw profits

[chanler]

Well, we are aware enough that the presence of the ICO is spreading widely. almost every week we can see the new ICO rising and will defeat each other. They come with both different and similar concept of the projects. That is why they are kicking each other. But of course, those that are promising will survive more.

[ljane]

We all know the current state of ICO now which has been replaced by IEOs. I think ICO isn't fully dead but quite alive
 I believe if ICO amends its way and change for the better, more people will start to gain confidence in it than before.

[Saisher]

You are talking about IEO and not ICO these two are of different meanings and terms IEO is being held on one exchange while ICO is not, and they are not regulated by any exchange, ICO is dying and IEO is the next big thing so better differentiate between the two and not make them the same.

Tell me the last successful project that is in the ico , I think it will be difficult to name but with the ieo things are very good I think here you need to invest as you can earn good money!

[Rengga Jati]

ICO is still alive, many more people create newer projects every time and they offer their concept exactly. SOme have similar concept with previous other projects. And some have new ideas that bring more success. However here, there is big competition among the new projects and of course, they are fighting each other, kicking one another to be the winner to gain more investors. Those are facts and we can see which project is survived and get the best chance to grow in this crypto market era.

[Tosyn2]

Yeah ICO is alive. Not all ICO project turn to scam, we just have to be careful in choosing ICO project to invest. Many ICO are successful and one of them is Binance, their have great team and good platform. All of them make their tokens so valuable and become a profitable investment.

Well, ICO might still be alive but the reality is that a lot of new and upcoming projects have shifted towards IEO because it is believe that it is faster and it is the latest idea, especially when it is being conducted on a very strong exchanges like Binance and other top exchanges.

[genset88]

Yes, that's right. The honest ICOs they still work well until the bad guys turn ICO into scams. ICO still has a chance to do it again. It must enact more laws to protect investors' information.

[DeepChipolino]

.............
Tell me the last successful project that is in the ico , I think it will be difficult to name but with the ieo things are very good I think here you need to invest as you can earn good money!

Miracle Tele was in June. And in some way continues.
Yes, IEOs are now more attractive to investors. This will change later, and ICO and IEO will occupy their niches.
And to understand which projects are successful, it will become visible in a few months. After ICO, the project will not work immediately.

[Iykecollinz]

For any ICO to survive at this time, it must have proven its worth, a lot of persons have already moved from investing in ICO's and one have to be too convincing to attract investors, I I have seen few that emerged successful but it appears the era of having a lot of them is gone as the Ann thread just have very few of them

[Spaffin]

It seems to me that there is no reason to doubt the ico market of the company and its feasibility.  The fact is that, first of all, it is necessary to solve the problem of fraud so that there are fewer bad and fraudulent projects, and then new projects can be implemented very productively.

[SquallLeonhart]

Yes, that's right. The honest ICOs they still work well until the bad guys turn ICO into scams. ICO still has a chance to do it again. It must enact more laws to protect investors' information.

We still have lots of great projects giving their shot in the market also, but they are not being seeing because we now have many investors that would not look at them again and just classify them as scam, and that is why they don’t meet that softcap again, they go halfway and then stop to refund people of their money since they could not meet up.

Many projects and investors are quite focusing on IEO right now which is why you see so many project rising up through IEO and so many investors trooping into IEO platforms massively but unfortunately, I learnt that scammers are now beginning to use IEO also to scam investors again through some of these low quality exchanges that don’t care about doing due diligence before accepting them.

[Lanatsa]

What would you expect? These scammers would typically use up those things which are on hype to get up some money from investors.IEO might not be similar to ICO but overall they can still act shady on this one.Theres no project can spot if the team behind would be still a fraud one because even its listed,theres no assurance that they would stay up on the market for a while.

[qwizzie]

[cichaescut]

ICOs are not so great at the moment, because everybody is taking part only in IEOs. What is the point of investing in ICO and wait for several months until listing happens, if you can take part in IEO and trade those coins 24 hours later.

What are you talking about, they are not ICO projects rather IEO! Binance IEO was hugely successful because of the Binance itself, not for the projects! Though those projects were also great as Binance never supports shit things!
Most of the reputed exchange's IEO gave good profit to its IEO investors, but ICO is still a very bad investment. I thought this year STO will tule, but STO is more worse than ICO! And, I haven't seen any ICO this year that gave profit to its investors, except Ferrum!

[novaprime]

In my opinion it is difficult to be able to see that ico will be able to succeed again as it used to be because now the time of ico has passed a lot and there is a scam project. IEO itself is also a lot of scams.

IEO is a way for us to get rid of fraud projects in the easiest way, but in the current market, we should only trust the top exchanges because those exchanges will ensure the safety of all investors. I think the IEO will continue to grow even bigger in the future and will definitely be mentioned more in the future so it's best to stay away from ICO because most are scam projects.

I disagree pal. After seeing a lot of IEOs in the past months, IEO are now showing its true colors. The sad part is that Binance is leading the way to make IEOs having no credibility at all. CZ is just making artificial pumps on their shitty IEOs and they are just waiting for a good time to dump on idiot HODL gangs for life. I know there are legit great IEO projects but the other top exchanges should not let shitty projects launch their IEOs on them for huge sum of money.

IEOs are really good, but I also saw some very good ICO projects over the past year. they raised a lot of money through the ICO.

[bitgov]

Sincerely ICO's are dying and if something is not done about it no investor will invest in upcoming ones since the old ones has really made investors lost all hopes in ICO's, but things could change if they restructure themselves and brings new offers on board whch could entice and boost investors morale.

ICOs will be popular once again, but first scammers have to find other way to cheat investors. When people will feel safe to invest in ICO it will be back to good mood.

[Torps1]

Binance Exchange has a way of positively influencing the Ico's and IEO's using the Exchange due to its popularity, integrity etc.
Any team aspiring to having a successful ICO/IEO should have a thought in the direction of using Exchange(s) that have great command of investors.

They should and they should also think of investing big money to be able to get their project listed in Binance IEO.
They have limited number of IEO in the exchange so there's also a big competition from those who want their project to get listed and Binance will also protect their reputation and they will not just list an IEO without making an investigation first.

[proTECH77]

Frankly speaking am not seeing ICO resting in peace because there are still much pretty projects that still embark or embarking on ICOs and come out successful. We know we have come.to the errand of IEOs but the power of ICO cannot be written out in the world of cryptocurrency. Every technology can be use either positive or negative as we have seen in ICOs, likewise IEOs.

It is the only way to make their project successful at the present time. If the non-IEO project and ICO implementation, it will surely fail because investors will never risk the same way as in 2018.

Lol, what would make scammers disappear from the ICO market if the opportunity would always be there for them to scam? The only thing that can make scammers to leave the ICO market is if every project is being scrutinized carefully and the only way to get scrutinized projects is when is when it becomes regulated, as long as we don’t have government to regulate it, ICO market may never change.

so we need to hope that government will eventually legalize it and then set up agencies that would be there to always go after scammers, I am sure that in as much as it is a decentralized system, it is still not bigger for government to control it. Alternatively, if government fails to regulate it for us, let’s see if it is something we can also come up with a solution just like Binance already came up with one.

[kennen1113]

Yes.
ICOs are still very much alive and really kicking. Although things has been bad for ICOs generally but still, ICOs are still moving forward.

the introduction of IEO brings in a little problem for ICO,  although some ico project are still launching,  but lots of projects are focusing more on IEO, so as to get listed as soon as possible,  truly there are still some ico that are doing well, but it's not as early 2017/2018

But even if some ICO are still relatively good, they still can't contribute or help ICO back, the market has started to turn away from the ICO, as you say, the trend of current projects is still focused on the IEO, investors and the whole project only want a contract listed on exchange, they no longer want a long ICO process. ICO will still be alive but ICO will still be alive but the situation is not optimistic, it is attached to a cancer, it will not die immediately but it will be painful and die gradually over the years

after what happened on 2018 , i am quite understand about ur opinion.
investor just need a guarantee . for make their money safe,about if the project will provide huge profits, its just like a gamble for them.
at least they not lose too much like on ICO.

[PragueBTC]

Yes, that's right. The honest ICOs they still work well until the bad guys turn ICO into scams. ICO still has a chance to do it again. It must enact more laws to protect investors' information.

We still have lots of great projects giving their shot in the market also, but they are not being seeing because we now have many investors that would not look at them again and just classify them as scam, and that is why they don’t meet that softcap again, they go halfway and then stop to refund people of their money since they could not meet up.

Many projects and investors are quite focusing on IEO right now which is why you see so many project rising up through IEO and so many investors trooping into IEO platforms massively but unfortunately, I learnt that scammers are now beginning to use IEO also to scam investors again through some of these low quality exchanges that don’t care about doing due diligence before accepting them.

IEO is a scam by itself even if it happens on binance. Only the exchange and very few early investors benefit from it.

And the issue is not even the high costs to list up to 30 btc in many cases

Most exchanges take a large amount of tokens (around 5-8%) from the proceeds and another batch - up to 30% of the proceeds as insurance fund that marketmaking will fail.
If the project fails to maintain the token price higher than a certain level for 4-6 weeks, the project will lose this insurance fund.
And then, there is mandatory allocation of funds for marketmaking, where the project is obligated to spend money invested in them in artificial pump of the price of their token

And if the exchange is not very honest, it is always easy for them to dump their 8% and lower the exchange rate beneath the threshold of the insurance fund loss.

So the actual costs of an IEO for a project are between 30 and 60% of the money raised.

Now think about it. People are investing in the project thinking that this money will go into development of a product. But instead , it is spent on games and gambling called IEO. The project is left with less than 50% of the funds raised, and I've found several cases where projects spent 80% of the money raised on IEO just for the consequences of said IEO .

What are their chances of developing a good product with 20-40% of what they actually need?

[gunhell16]

ICO is getting out in the community, it robbed many investors before and scammed many people even bounty participants.
IEO is the new game around and it is gaining again the trust of every people in cryptocurrency by using great exchange.
I hope this could change the game better.

What is the difference between ICO and IEO? IEO is backed up by some exchange, everything else is the same. The sale is mainly on exchange, but you can buy coins regularly from the team on their official site. ICO doesn`t have sale on any exchange, it`s done on official site.
Both are startups, you can believe more in the words from the exchange, they always say how they checked it, but I wouldn`t get relaxed just cause of that. Do research by yourself and then do what you think it`s the best, don`t trust blindly in any announcements from any exchange.

[hongus]

Well yes. Where is the guarantee that the startup will not close? Say the team will not be able to implement all the planned tasks. Or the cryptocurrency policy has changed in the country where the project was conducted. There are no 100% guarantees in investments.

You are definitely right yet this isn't really different at all apart from tokens tied up with the exchange and can be directly listed out but overall they are all just the same.
Project usage? Just like a typical ICO but somewhat better just one step but overall it isn't really a thing that you could rely on when it comes to profitability and success because these projects has nothing new to offer because sooner or later they would really just being pump up and die down on majority of them just like we have seen on ICO projects in the past where lots of them do end up on a graveyard due to lack of support.They are initially being hyped up on early phase and after that then they do go gradually die.

Maybe you have right, that it should be regulated, but i'm not sure if government is the one that should control it.
If someone want to be safe can go with STO - this projects must be regulated, but there always will be place for ICO's. Probably scammers will never disappear completely from ICO market, but hopefully it will not be 50% or more like it is now.

[dearbesz1219]

You are wrong. ICOs are dead. The next wave of successful token sales are IEOs. The most peofitable IEOs are on these exchanges: Huobi, Binance and ZB.

[stadus]

ICO might be dead soon, I don't know really the accurate current status of ICO now, but based on my observation, I haven't seen ICOs that are successful, most of the success are from IEO and I would agree with you that they are the next wave of successful tokens, some are maybe still hopeful about recovery of ICO but it's hard for them to recover when there's another platform that are already successful.

I'm thinking that with the success of IEO, this will improve and increase the number of exchanges to operate in the market, and that's a big growth in the industry.

[Bossfidelity]

I agree with the fact that ICO is still alive, but it's demise is in progress. This is because several investors have lost trust in ICO and are only interested in IEO. Only very few projects hold a successful ICO in recent times and that is a clear indication of the fact that ICO is on its way out. I'm personally not surprised because the cryptocurrency space is highly flexible and inventions are rapid. I even read of a new fund raising approach which was said to be MTO. Guess that's yet to be publicised.

[joshua123]

I think the solid ICO that I know for this year is the ferrum network. All of their team are very professional on handling inquiries and response with technical answers on youre questions regarding their project. Well it is likely to shown a lot of their platform on the community. Im following their ICO till the end and planning to stock some tokens also. I hope some ICOs with good idea can come out like them. But some IEO are also good but you know, they can be considered as hype tokens since IEO is known for being traded with huge ATH and ROI values.

[#Darren]

ICO and IEO are two different methods of fundraising, because projects that are doing self fundraising are doing an ICO and those who need an exchange help are doing an IEO. While IEOs are currently doing really great, ICOs are shutting down without any funds collected.

Special essence it still does not change, we can say that IEO is one of the varieties of ICO

They need an exchange because they can't collect a good amount if they will only rely in ICO.
I guess they can still collect in ICO but it's not the same anymore in the past, probably they can only collect a small amount and then the next stage of fund raising are carried out in the exchange.

Small projects use small exchange for their IEO and they can only attract small time investors as well.
Unless if the project is good as evaluated by an exchange, it could have its IEO in popular exchange such as Binance and the success rate to raise a hard cap is really high, since Binance IEO usually brings hype.

[acepro]

I think ico right now is not worth following. especially many of ico that ended up failing, I used to have ico tokens and most of them ended up scam I tried to hold it for some time until more than 1 year but the results were mostly not good and many of them lost value

[auntyjmary]

Many ICOs ans IEOs are stll  making positive impact on the market. Basically ICOs fail as a result of many factors. It is not always the fault of developers or the team behind a project that causes it to fail. Some projects have failed as a result of the behavior of investors, I believe that has even accounted for the increasing demand for KYC verification.

[desticy]

ICO is no longer a financially profitable way to invest. He is too dangerous and unpredictable. In view of this, as you said above, the IEO came on the scene, a
nd Binance demonstrated by his example that the IEO on their platform always brings money to its investors, which is very commendable.
I am glad that all major exchanges are not far behind Binance.

but we can't say that all ICO may be at risk, but there are still many safe ICO as long as we can choose correctly,
maybe one of the ways is to follow the ICO presale, or private ICO, usually big projects do this before the official ICO launch,
and there is also an IEO done after pre ICO or Private ICO.

as developer works on extensive to prepare of use with chance as referring notables on release with the news for public audience and gives as chance on option as clients with the service to gains with use of reference on progress as movement on chart with the market of exchange.

[jozymens7]

it is true that if the project has a good team then the risk of dump is very small even when bearish occurs but we also cannot deny that bearish is one of the factors causing a dump to occur. The reason is because investors usually don't just invest in one coin so that when there is bearish they suffer losses from other coins and to return their capital they will sell the good coins they have and because there are many investors who do that then the coins are good too will be hit by a dump because of the high volume of selling

I do not agree with that because a good team doesn't mean the coin won't dump. Ethereum has one of the best teams and even Bitcoin has an outstanding core developers that are working to improve the bitcoin net work always but bitcoin was once dropped from $19K to $3.2K which means a good team is not always the case but rather the time the project was established. 90% of the projects that were established in the bear market failed due to the fact that people were no more interested in putting their money in crypto again.x

[boltz]

Only some of them are going to succed in this time. If they have a strong team , good roadmap and a good vision upon blockchain use and how they can integrate their service in it , succes will come. What is hard for ICO's nowadays is the fact that is kinda hard to achieve even the soft cap if it is bigger than 20 mil $ but with a hard cap of 20 mil $ anything is posible.

[SaidNurs]

I have taken part in many failed ICOs and few successful ones. After a series of failed ICOs owing to scam cases and insincere teams leading to heavy dump after listing and in turn blaming the bearish market, I have sometimes share in the sentiment of many projects who blame the bad market for their coin heavy dump, but two case study has shown that with a good team and the right strategy, their coin needs not dump to "hell-fire" as we are currently experiencing thereby discouraging investors.

Binance exchange have conducted two successful ICO/IEO on their launchpad, with both doing very well above the inertial offering. The first one is said to have lasted about 16mins and all sales was sold out. while the second one which I participated in only lasted just 22secs and individual  cap was $3,000. Both are currently doing very well above the ICO prices. With the success of these two launched so far. more and more people are interested in participating in such project as it has some level of trust and integrity, and not when team after conducting ICOs, will not even pay bounty hunters, but keep posting them, but when they finally pay and get listed, the price will just be a shit.

Anyone team still willing to conduct ICO should come up with a mechanism to defend their projects from gravitation free falls, so as investors don't loss hope in their project and later blame the hailing market. Hard times call for a new set of thinking for a change.

ICO is now not as popular as it once was, what is popular now from ICO is a scam. That way investors will think twice about joining the ICO project because of the case. With many ICO scam cases there will be little chance the ICO project will rise again

In 2017, we had lost of very great a project that was released to the market, and I believe that those companies till today are still existing, I mean similar companies. There is no way that all the companies that we have in the whole world are bad, there are still people coming up with different ideas and having genuine intention as to why they want to raise funds, and when they finished raising funds, they use it for the purpose for which they want to use it for.

I have never neglected ICO and I still participate in many of them and the majority of the ones that I have participated in is quite good and is perfect. Some of them are also from IEO anyway, but we still have some IEO too that are scam, but with through the investigation that I do on these projects, I do get great ones.
