ICO IS ALIVE AND KICKING

[stadus]

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.

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.

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.

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?

[Malam90]

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
