ICO IS ALIVE AND KICKING

[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.

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.

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.

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!

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

[laurencef34]

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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
