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

[spike420211]

Well for me, ICOs are now dead. All great developers aren't interested in developing good projects since the cryptomarkets isn't performing good since the price of bitcoin affects the cryptocurrency economy greatly the IEOs is basically pump and dump scheme most of its projects are shit only few projects in IEO are promising but i doubt that it will prosper.

Quite controversial statements about the current market. In your opinion, the developers, seeing how bitcoin has grown over 10 years from zero to $ 7000 (at the current rate), believe that it’s better not to continue next? I doubt it. Good projects continue to improve and develop new products, this is in no way connected with the speculations that occur on the market. Even if the price drops for $ 1000 per bitcoin, serious guys all will continue their development exactly because they believe that the future is not in money but in the blockchain.

Perhaps we can say the ICOs is dead, but we won't know if the ICOs will be able to rise again in the future. But indeed, the ICOs has suffered to meet the investor right now, and perhaps they are still trying to survive at the moment. But perhaps the situation will be better in the future for the ICOs, so the ICOs will be able to return in the future and give the investor the profit.

I don't think the ICO will come back again. This direction has almost outlived its usefulness. I believe that the ICO will change, or it will be replaced by another way of raising funds.

It will be replaced by the IEO, raising funds through exchange is way more safer than trusting a team to hold and raise the money, at least there's a trusted middle man which is the exchange which we can go after if the team will scam and they understand that also because it could affect their reputation badly.

Most altcoin markets are really struggling to survive this market so basically with a market like that you cant expect newer project because there are developed ones that are basically not doing good and confidence in investments is really down due to the recent losses most investors got hit by Maybe when the market picks-up and there is more activities and higher prices of some altcoins

Icos have been replaced already by ieos, and while ieos had a certain period in which they were very popular we are experimenting once again with ieos what happened with icos.

People are losing confidence in ieos because they are not performing as expected, and while this may surprise some investors it doesn't really surprise me because the only thing that has changed is the way the developers received the money from investors but the projects behind that process have not changed at all.

IEO's still not a guarantee that they are legit replacement of ICOs so we should still extra careful of IEOs as most scammers are also doing this in those exchanges that list IEO at low listing fee, so they are taking granted for it, also does not guarantee that if they are legit we will have more income because it still depends on their project.

If seen from the graph above, it shows that the ICO project from January 2018 to January 2020, the level of ICO projects has declined. but i don't think that the ico project will die. the fact is in this forum or BOUNTY still exists, even there are still many new projects that have appeared, it's just that not all the projects that still appear can be profitable for investment.

at least we can see the seriousness of the project that will sell IEO. logically, there are no good projects that are willing to have their coins traded on bad exchanges. although with expensive fees if they are serious about looking for investors I think it is important for developers to consider the best exchange. at least it reduces the risk of a scammer.

ICOs will still exist but their numbers will decrease significantly. Investors will prefer to invest in IEO especially IEO organized by large exchangers. The large number of ICOs that fail to reach the target or scam, affecting the interests of investors and investors will definitely choose the safe path of IEO in large exchangers

Indeed. There are only few numbers of ICO projects  that exist today because most of them are scams and others are unsuccessful that they didn't reach their soft and hardcap. I think investors still doesn't prefer IEO projects because they don't trust IEO duue to KYC policies and IEO is still low in exchanges.

to me, ICO is dead. but developing new or entire project, still happen.

There are fundrasing systems in cryptocurrency. ICO is just one of them. Dev still can use others fundraising system
IEO gets more hype right now. I think IEO would change ICO era.

if you think IEO is suck based on price, then you must say that top 10 altcoin are suck too

[bobyhodob]

Not sure all ico are dead i saw some ico still exist but yes its totally difrent with 2 years ago not too many people are interested in this.
IEO maybe is better but sure you need to have knowledge about what IEO you will take a part, both have more risk for now just becarefull

[affandi]

the reason is clear, too many ICO projects have ended in scams, and made many investors leave the ICO zone and don't want to throw their money there anymore. At the moment there are many investors who prefer IEO, but I think IEO still has shortcomings, because some SCAM projects are still being found. This is of course a problem and should be an important learning for project developers in choosing the IEO exchange, this is all for the future of their coins / tokens.

Soon or later the ICO market will be dead! There will be no time for ICO boosting once again! People taught a very good lesson by investing in ICOs in 2018 to now! Most of the ICO was scammed or the coin price got huge dump after kisting on an exchange, it's mean no profit at all! so, people won't spend the hard-worked money in ICO shit anymore! You are right that some projects are still coming with the ICO plan,  but you may research about that project, they are not reaching money, even the soft cap!

Investors need certainty in investing, and ICO does not provide that.
then present IEO, another form of ICO.
I think there must be new regulations to protect investors from losses, so that ICO is more secure and reliable. maybe ICO is not dead but is dying.

Regulations is really hard to implement in cryptocurrencies. Since everyone can create their own project and do what they want to do, you can't avoid the proliferation of these crap projects. ICOs are dying as investors realized that most of them are scam or worthless. There are still projects who are holding their respective ICOs but very rare of them that are successful in raising funds. IEOs is no better, you can't assure of their success as well.

[tracyhayley]

i think they're dead. maybe they run out of ideas. some ICOs in the last year almost have the same project ideas like make an exchanger, lending platform, etc. most of them are scams, so most of the investors are not trust the ICO anymore. then the ICO is dead now.

[humanitee]

ICO projects began to be abandoned since entering 2018. Besides due to the bear market factor which makes the market conditions become quiet, enthusiasts, ICO has also been considered a scam project and started to be replaced by IEO.

this means that ICO does not have a good future.
just waiting for time to be destroyed, we all miss ico in 2017.Both IEO and ICO must work hard to convince investors.

I think that the bear market doesn't give a lot of contribution to make ico to be abandoned but the scammers should be the main reason why so many people have started to abandon the ico in the past. We know that more than 95% icos on the market were scam and it has also increased a lot until the end of 2018. In 2019 so many scam IEOs were also appearing to the market.
