3.75% of Americans ready to invest in ICO?

[CryptoTech_]

SEC is not created STO but SEC just release regulation frame work for that, It's a lot of number but the strict regulation in USA was creating a very bad situation for them all. Just try to hope there will be a market that will be free from manupulation that makes SEC can approve it.

If you hoping the crypto market is free of manipulation, I don't think the SEC will ever accept Crypto, because in my opinion the crypto world will continue to be manipulated by the big players

[slaman29]

So almost 4 out of 100 Americans are ready to invest in ICOs? So this means 1 in every 25? It doesn't sound very right, especially since they should know by now what happened to over 90% of ICOs. I thought Americans were better with their money and especially with all the conditions politically and economically, I would think Americans are more interested in storing wealth than investing, meaning Bitcoin over ICOs. Then again, maybe they think they can borrow money from their banks to invest. Strange isn't it? Pouring fiat into ICOs.

Now, when the market is dominated by bears, the credibility of the ICO is severely undermined. This percentage will increase significantly when the bulls return to the market. In addition, the ICO may be replaced by a more perfect way of crowdsale, namely STO.

LendEDU survey:

25% of Americans know about ICOs

15% of them plan to make investment via ICOs!

15% of 25%= Around 3.75%

Planning and actually investing are two different things I don't know if the survey includes knowing the risk involving in Cryptocurrency because if they knew the figure will be lower, but if we have some form of regulation it will become higher than the above statistics.

There's no assurance that these people will invest to ICOs. I think this is mindsetting for the people when the boat of ICOs are ready to go again. ICOs are likely to be dead now and people are scared of investing again so before buying to anyone, you need to verify if that project is worth taking and you can go on with the risk that it has. I don't think that there's a certain amount of Americans that are ready to invest in ICO and if they really are ready then we will see.

[talkbitcoin]

of course you would expect such fabricated results from a website that its whole existence purpose is to advertise ICOs and live off of them! otherwise such stats would have been closer to reality 2 years ago where the ICO hype was still ongoing not like now that it is already dead and gone. nowadays people either don't know what ICOs are or if they know about them they also know how scammy they are.

The survey is not made by InitialCoinList.com but by https://lendedu.com/

Also, have you seen binance launchpad?

The ICO hype was the same as the crypto hype in general.. The current slowdown is no different than the current global cryptocurrency state..

ICO is not dead and it won't be for a while.

first of all you say LendEDU as if it is a reliable source for this type of surveys! well it is not.
secondly what you are failing to mention in your own website (the article that was published by you on Match 2019) and this topic (which is again in 2019) is that the survey result was published in October 2017 which means it was conducted right in the middle of the ICO hype in 2017! NOT 2019. that hype my friend is dead and is never coming back.
if you do the same survey today the percentage is going to be closer to 0

before all this the same hype was going on with premined shitcoins. and in the future there will be new hype like there always is, in a different form with a different type of scams. they are trying to push STOs but they are failing because they are exactly the same as ICO and people aren't going for them.

Even much more than that are ready to invest in ICO but the government don't make it easy for the american citizens to participate in ICO or even invest in any kind of crypto project that haven't been registered by the government, this is why a lot of companies that carry out ICO and create exchanges always restricts American citizens from participating, so that they won't face any kind of issues in the future.

when some kind of regulation of the ICO market by the government appears, the numbers will be completely different.

I do not expect anything like that will be possible in near future. Because, this forum is purely decentralized in this regard hence we need to take ourselves secure by our own not by any authority hence no law will be possible to bind ICO operators. It means those number may change slowly as regulations is very unlikely to happen.

[tonibyuzen]

This is quite a large figure, in my opinion, given the fact that the market has been under the influence of bears for more than a year. I think that soon the market will grow again and the number of people willing to invest in ICO will increase. Therefore, continue to believe in cryptocurrencies and continue to look for promising ICO projects.

[sell my ac_________nt]

I think when governments start talking on TV about cryptocurrencies and introduce regulation then these figures will grow significantly.

[Romanianz]

I think when governments start talking on TV about cryptocurrencies and introduce regulation then these figures will grow significantly.

if the government can give a statement to support cryptocurrency until it is broadcast on TV then that will make the condition of the cryptocurrency price go up again, but that is not possible in an easy way.

[jagaban]

This is very good data. I am sure it will do the crypto markets a great deal of good. However, the USA is a very funny country. Their regulations may stop the citizens from participating in ICOs.

A good percentage for the start. Considering that the economic power of USA citizens is good, the contribution of these investments may be big.

Governments rule the media and society, so expecting to advertise by governments is not a good idea. Total market cap will grow but the help of governments can accelerate the process if it happens.

And I thought that ICOs are forbidden in the USA by SEC. So how can they invest into ICO when most of ICOs require KYC?

[aprilnot]

wait, aren't US citizens allowed to take part in the ICO. or am I missing something?
so how can they invest in ico.

[SRKNGL]

Most ico usa does not accept citizens as investors. The law's been blocked by it. In fact, many countries like this do not approach positive.

[Question123]

America is one of the richest country in the world and that country once they invest to the projects they invest more than millions dollars or billions of dollars in one project.  I hope the population of the American people who ready to invest to project in cryptocurrency is will become 10% in the total population of the America. It can help to the market to rise if the percentage that willing to invest to ICO will rise.

[Prolifik]

You said that american people plan to invest, not that they invested right? So it means, that ICO boom will happen again if bull market comes?

I believe they will definitely learn to accept crypto currency because it already beyond their control and since they have no major influence over it, they can only look for a way to come into the industry and align with it and I guess that is why they came up with the STO idea and to also fight against these ICOs coming up with lots of project that are not viable and affecting lots of investors that ought to have invested in through IPO.

10 years more of crypto, and I am sure the sec will also be fully into it no matter how stubborn they proof now.

It is sure that the bull market will prepare next crypto boom in ICOs. There are a lot of opportunities that waiting on the corner and bull market will stimulate these teams for creating their next projects.
