Are ICOs really DEAD or simply cleared a path for better projects?

[biddicoin]

if there is a good project doing ICO, it also will not get much attention from investors if they do not support advertising in large media. because marketing like that is also very necessary. It's the same as IEO, even though the project is good, but not using a good and large exchange, it just won't help their marketing.

I think this is because investors are not so interested anymore in the ICO and IEO projects, so many developers don't want to make IEO / ICO anymore. in addition, many scammers also have this effect. I just hope that projects can re-emerge as the bitcoin price recovers due to the upcoming halving.

yeah investors dont get interested anymore to ICO, but not IEO
IEO still gets interested from investors, there are many successfull IEO. and it grows as time goes by
In 2019 there have already been 32 IEOs launched of the 47 listed on ICObench. The completed IEOs have raised over $159 million.

ico currently does not have a different popularity like 2017. Nowadays many investors prefer IEO. I think the bad thing in the past from ico that made it now is not needed by many people

ICO is as good as dead with the current situation of the market but they will be revive back to life once there is bullrun and investors and traders have some funds to flip around. Let's see how events unfold in the industry, even if ICO and IEO do not come back again, a new funding model for blockchain projects will surely spring up

 It was really dead. Because the contracts are unclear and there is no protection for investors. After we have poured money into the project, we have nothing but confidence in the project's promise of their distant dreams. We have no voting rights, we don't have a voice, and they can ignore us at any time if we raise our opinions. I believe that ICO really should not exist in the future and it should be replaced by STO.

I think yes, ICO era is gone and we can never see it again, it is transformed to IEOs and other types of fundrising, but when the market is down and there are no new people and fresh money on it all of that stuff is not working, as you can see not a lot of IEOs and running right now.

The market has affected the ICOs very much. Investing in a new coin in the current position of the market is a risky situation. And also the majority of investors also lost interest in ICOs because of the not profit enough. Therefore, the number of successful ICOs has decreased considerably compared to previous years. But there are still ICOs that be successful even in this bad market so i can't say that all of the ICOs are dead. And i think the number of successful ICOs will increase as the market starts to rise again.

[qwizzie]

ICO's are so dead, that if you watch carefully you will actually see their ghosts flying by.

I feel that the methods of the ICO at this time are not very attractive to investors because many make ICO as a place for scammers to commit crimes, investors have now started using IEO methods which according to him can be safer and have guarantees when becoming an IEO participant in a large exchange such as a Binance exchange or other exchange that has been proven to have high security guarantees.

[starblocks]

This analysis is unfortunately mostly correct as most of these ICOs where scams or did not have an effective means to gain adoption so make sure you steer clear of any that don't have good fundamentals and liquidity or may be considered a security in future to avoid losing your capital

[fuer44]

it's possible, with no new ico appearing lately, I think there is a big evaluation of how ico has really failed in the last 2 years. and there will definitely be better developments, of course waiting for the altcoin market to get better too.

[ice18]

I can still saw few ICOs but I think most investors are not willing to invest even the team are trusted based on their portfolios but We cant trust those linkedin infos nowadays so easy make fake ones, yes I can say ICO is definitely dead this time, IEO is more trusted than ICO just choose a reputable exchange.

I think that ICO projects are not going to die, but the time for their activities is now very inappropriate. Now there is a general decline in the cryptocurrency market, altcoins have been particularly affected and this has a very negative effect on the emergence of new ICO projects. Also, the problem of a high level of fraud among ICO projects has not yet been resolved. In this regard, investor activity is now extremely low. When these two problems are resolved, ICO projects will again become popular for investment.

[jessyj48]

ICO projects are already dead, if you create a new product and people stop buying its the end, same fate happened to ICO and now its all on IEO, still its only a matter of time before a better fundraising idea will rise from the depth, i am so sure of this

Many ICO not going to die but almost investor not trusted any more with ICO investment project, have thousand kinds of ICO always lower price after listing on market and many ICO delay more than two years or three years for listing make investor tired and resign from ICO investing, now the have invest with altcoin ready on market or bitcoin investment.

The main thing with ICOs projects the cannot guarantee their token will be list on any exchanges after the release. Some of the ICOs projects are died before it get to list on exchanges that why they got not many investors. Who want to put their investment only on their promises.

ICO projects may never die,,, but they might as well be dead.

Look at all the ICOs that did raise money, you think they got it from individual investors? No, mostly people got it through a few big whales who were promised all kinds of bonuses. Nobody wants to throw away btc or eth anymore these days,,, they are tired of losing to dumpers and hunters and speculators.

now investors must be more selective in investing in new projects, ICO currently has lost a lot of investor confidence. and maybe the ICO could die or change to other investment methods, hoping that if IEO could replace ICO, but I personally prefer ICO, but in terms of security, IEO might be superior, in my opinion.

There's nobody who will invest a bulk amount of money in ICO now. This form of crowdfunding is nearly dead. There aren't also any positive news at the last time about ICO regulating that can attract a lot of investors again. People need safety guarantees of their assets. ICO can't provide it anymore.

[doomloop]

If anyone can name a successful ICO I would be very surprised.

Ferrum Network had a successful ICO. But if we consider the success percentage which is very minimal, it might just be safe to say that ICOs are dead. Even the IEO frenzy is fast waning out. Perhaps, investors have understood that IEOs don't really mean they won't loose money but only a more secure means of investing into a project.

Initial Coin Offerings are indeed not working anymore. People are getting attracted towards IEOs and these are the new trend. Fer rum Network being a good one, still makes a little percentage overall. At present, most of them are not worthy of trust. These have become a part of past now. In case of IEOs, the fear of scam decreases due to the involvement of exchange, but only renowned exchanges can be trusted.

[baeva2]

Currently, indeed, the popularity of ICO has faded. Investors deceived by fraudulent projects are also suspicious of the IEO, as exchanges do not fully guarantee that the project will develop in the future. I think that everything will change after the situation on the cryptocurrency market improves and more attention is paid to monitoring projects.
