Does ICO projects became an April Fools?

[No One]

It seems this time is just promising and not implementing. Or maybe we are wrong. Behind the scene, the projects are working hard to implement their goals and promises committed during ICO and public sales.
Whatever maybe the case, it is most important for a project to implement its goals and promises in order to win the people and retain in the market. Otherwise, they will be wiped out just like many coins have disappeared from the market for failure to deliver. On our part, we must create pressure as well.

There are no contracts being signed so it largely depends on trust. If you can't trust the team then you shouldn't invest your coins, there is a good chance that you will lose them

Sometimes I feel, ICO needs regulation. At least people will know who is the behind of the project and their address and profession! If they can't reach the soft cap, so they can back investor's money! But those shady ICO project loves to scam people's money by listing on a shit exchange and stop responding! ICO projects are more than April fools joke!

[dentolas]

well, there is a general problem among our society... people often tend to speak a lot and do nothing ...
ICO's are the perfect living area for loud-mouths, scammers, general parasites, etc...
I have seen countless ICOs promising a lot and delivering a dump, or just vanishing ...
It is time for people to stop believing blindly and stop feeding this monster.
On the other hand there are good, promising ICOs, and sometimes these don't get their funding because people just look at them like another ICO.
The only way to change things is if people start to do some homework and spotting these fakes at birth (not always possible/easy, but if investigation work is done, chances of scam reduce). People need to stop going blindly in search for the "get rich fast"

I know that many good ICO's around and some were very promising. HOwever, there are other ICO projects to which now looks like an April Fools who's team always talk to much but in the end of the ICO period all they have to do is to be silent, list the coin of the project and then dump the project. This is why we really monitoring from these guys to keep their promises before, during and after the ICO period.

I agree with you that's why i have made thread about the ICOs/altcoins must be followed by us, it is my own thread where i have spent my time almost more than one year ago to find great ICO projects, and i have shared it on this forum here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4496788.0 to give information for all of community cryptocurrencies and in my own analysis not all of ICOs projects become an April fools.

it is a stupid investment if you do without a trust in the developer. because the trust of the performance shown by the developer is very important. that was seen in the ico project which really had a good team. they can survive in the market and continue to grow in price.

It is true that before investing, you should see the development as well so that its performance can be monitored and we know its character.
This is very important for us to do so to avoid working like that.

Almost last years on the April many ICO have potential with higher price and hope will be the same with ICO project on this months where could raised to higher price and never lost with IEO project.

I think it would be very bad for an ICO project to become an april fools projects, because in my part of the country, once you are fooled on april 1st then you have no right to do anything because it has been tagged april fools day, this is why I won't invest in any project be it ICO or IEO in april 1st because I am not ready to give my funds to any company that will come out very soon to tell me that I have been fooled and can't get a refund.

There are many abandoned ICO projects, which have been erased on the market list. Projects like this we must avoid will not increase as long as it exist and the ICO project will be overlooked, the dev is only taking advantage.

Such projects should not be involved, now is the trend of the IEO, I think you should join the IEO much better than ICO, your risk will be very low if you do not buy  IEO.

[slashz9]

although this is not april fools many ico do that.
but good ico is still there, you just have to be good at choosing it.
and now also trend IEO after binance launch their IEO all market follow it and make their own IEO.
do this will effect to ICO? we dont know, lets see.

[imstillthebest]

april fools mean its a joke , while the ico issue are not a joke but they are real . people suffered alot . too many cash are wasted but despite all of that many people still believes that ico's can make an epic comeback    . first we need to make that happen on cryptos   . if cryptos will return to thier orignal state ( the one that we experienced on the era of 2017 )  im pretty sure that all ico can also become profitable again   .  it just takes patience to get there  ,

we can pay attention to projects that have been running and developing for at least one year. it makes us know that the coin will last and there is a possibility of going up in the future. even though now the price is cheap, the most important thing is that the developer still works.

[jademaxsuy]

Even how hard you are monitoring them.
If they already have planned to abandon and dump the project.
It will reflect soon even they are talking that much on how good the project is.

no there are good ways to monitor them and that is the need to have a third party that will ensure the smooth flow of the ICO projects. Given the time that ICO projects could be extended if the soft cap will.not be reached.

Thus, third party will be either from the government or from the forum itself whkch theymos could use the forum.members to require to regulate a certain project. I do believe that there are many users here would like to volunteer in doing it.

[Wildwest]

Only a few of the many projects that really lived in earnest. And now there may be only a few projects left, other than that it is scam or useless.
But with the IEO, hopefully this will usually be a way out for many investors

[Apes]

the fundraising period was indeed driven to pursue coin sales target. after the fundraising target is reached. natural they are more silent. and after the fundraising they will work focus on the next process. usually the exchange listing process or project development process. they are not fooling, but indeed that is how it works

The most disappointing ico platforms are project that reached softcap
And end up listing on exchanges  doing very well

But later on dump all supply on investors and elope away
It’s total absurd

[JayCue]

Yes, managers run out of such projects, because they do not get their salary. If they continued to pay, they would continue to respond to your messages. I do not think that such people have shame. After all, they are protected from punishment by a great network.

These managers should at least inform us, bounty hunters, about the status of the project/s that they managed and don't just ignore us without knowing what happen at all.

[karagun125]

For me it became April fools that fooling members because of their unsuccessful outcomes, and by that they wont make their promises, some of the bounty hunters participated in their ico wont receive any rewards even they meet the soft cap, so sad on the part of the bounty hunters and also from the investors.
