there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency?

[PLATO]

as we know that in 2017 many ICO were successful (at least reached softcap) and of course the market cap was also very high at the time, so it proves that many people are interested to investing in cryptocurrency, but now where do these investors go? because now the market cap is down and many ICO or IEO are failing (not reaching softcap), are investors no longer interested to investing in cryptocurrency? if yes, where are they investing now? or is there a more profitable investment than investing in cryptocurrency for now?

Due to too many failed ICOs and now IEOs not that great either, investors kinda lost their trust on cryptocurrency especially for new projects.
They don't really want to give their money to a project that might doesnt have a value in the future.

I think they prefer doing some trading than joining a certain ICOs or IEOs. And some of them might've quit entirely.
Since we're not like how 2017 used to be, and how bad the market condition back then, they kinda avoid investing their money.

Most people only invest if the coin is clearly listed because ICOs are often viewed as risky projects so they are always careful when investing. I think we are in a very unpredictable stage so any investment needs careful research. In fact, IEO is more popular because it is the only investment that can help us make a profit quickly and without taking too long to list.

investors are always looking for trends to invest. as is the case at the moment many IEO projects are still heavily invested by investors. because they consider that investing in IEO is more profitable than ICO for now. and I think investors will always look for loopholes to make a profit

It is not because IEO are the trend today, it is also because investors find it more profitable than investing only in ICO.
They always find an investment that will give them a profit, they won't stay in an investment which will not give them a profit and will only give them disadvantage.

This is not a mystery, why investors decide to risk their money in something? Because they want to earn money, how many of those that took the huge risk of investing in icos obtained profits out of their investments? A minority of course, then why investors should keep risking their money in a type of investment that gives so little chances of earning money? Do they even have any money left to keep risking in icos? When you see things this way it is easy to explain why no one cares about icos anymore.

Simple logic that varies regarding to this venue of investment. Investors who failed to their attempts are no longer interested participating to any types of investment due to the reason of losing their money. Out of frustrations they are no longer interested to suffered the same mistake and find other ways of business, for some who have good skills, chances to focus with trading is more likely to do than trying to find some luck to invest with IEO's or ICO's where the chance is very small.

There are still many, although not as much as before, because experience of loss, fraud, and others. Try to follow some IEO projects that are not clear, in telegram group. You will find a crazy promotion like; invest $200 and get a bonus $100 worth of tokens. Only novice investors will be trapped. Experienced investors will participate in quality projects, which hold IEO in large exchanges, such as Binance, Kucoin, Okex, Gate.io, and more.

[Getmon]

There are only very few left. Who will invest in the ICO market anymore? If one is to do a little opening of the historical statistics of ICOs, they will be shown with a very high percentage of scam ICOs of different kinds. Some are very obvious scams while others are hiding in the cloak of legitimacy but will still end up making a scam exit. The ICO market is replete with these kinds of projects. No one will be scammed anymore.

Judging by the current trends of failed ICOs and IEOs, I bet you that only a few can actually invest in cryptocurrency ICOs. Majority now prefer to buy already existing projects than the so called ICOs. Myself as a case study, I stopped buying these ICOs since 2018 after I lost so much funds to them.

[rmhuntley]

There are still many investors investing in cryptocurrency, Some of them are not investing anymore through ICO and IEO But investors now prefer daily trading in buying cryptocurrency transactions when prices fall and sell when prices go up.Investors do not want to join the ICO because some of the ICO happens scam, So that's a trauma and don't want to risk.

And some investors now also invest in gold, Investors consider gold as a promising investment without inflation.

[huu78]

Investors now do not believe in his final new project is just a listing on the market and the project is not executed as per their roadmap. Investors usually hold a long project in order to gain a lot of profit but only briefly the project is dead. So, many investors prefer to invest in existing cryptocurrencies for a long time, to avoid the risk of being too severe. Crypto in my opinion, is still a profitable investment since now.

There still a long way to go for bitcoin though. Maybe recent investors began to realize that future of finance are in this crypto currency community. Big names like McAfee, Mark Zuckerberg are into crypto currency that is why it has also a high adoption rate they may be as well influenced those non crypto enthusiast. In addition, bull run is still possible to happen and may be they are waiting for such big shot to come.

investors do not go away but rather invest in projects that are already strong in the market.
what's the point of investing in the beginning if it doesn't produce anything in a new project, we've seen that every new project in the market is always priced below the ICO price, not to mention the risk of the project becoming a scam.

investment with crypto currency with a very large risk is obtained and investors in current conditions must be clever in taking advantage of every opportunity to get profits they do not go just looking for the best opportunity to get profits in investing if the coins are in an improved condition of course will return to the coin

[DabsPoorVersion]

Investors? There are still in the market, avoiding ico as much as they can. They are doing other profitable things than wasting their time in ICO's.
They tend to invest in coins that are already listed on the market than risk their money with no guaranteed success to launch in the market.

We can say that investors are still investing in crypto, but investors are not in the field of ico investment anymore,
Most of them have transferred to trading and investing in physical assets. Investors have already secured their investment to avoid losing more of their money.

Yes, we should always research before investing in cryptocurrency and it is impossible for us to give fast returns on it. Still, I myself researching a lot about the cryptocurrency investment because now the trend is low for the altcoins, it is the right time to grab as many coins. This might be the best opportunity for all the people who are grabbing the altcoins at this level.

I am guessing more or less them were disillusioned after buying the top and left on the bear market or in the bottom like last time.
It takes some time for them to gain the trust back on these markets because it takes some time to go the stages of grief.

About what they are investing now to: people are different, lot's of people in this space has no earlier investment experience and they would be bored with the normal stocks anyway. But i don't think that cryptos are for those investors who want safe ride. But as they don't have earlier experience they don't see that this wild ride to moon will not be steady ride but with highly volatile market cycles.

But i am guessing that they will come back after they realize that the next pump is not a sucker's rally and maybe they learn from that experience like everyone else who have sold the bottom and bought ath, either that or they will have to take that lesson once more again.

[meanwords]

The thing here is that, it's not worth investing in ICO anymore because either most of them is a scam or fail. Investors are smart and now for sure tries to avoid anything that still doesn't have a product to show. It's rare to see this kind of project. I'd say investors are trying to invest in projects that has been around quite long or investing directly in Bitcoin since people are expecting it to rise in 2020.

[BRODIN]

actually not necessarily if there are many investors who no longer invest in ico or ieo. I think there are still many investors who invest there and some may be afraid to invest in ICO projects. Maybe investors now prefer to invest in safer BTC or do daily trading to get real profits.

People are still investing in IEO, not ICO but many have stop investing because they keep losing money over and over, still we have many new people who still want to invest as well but scam projects is the main biggest issue, some investors are not strong enough, when they lose money once they become scared

I prefer to invest too in Bitcoin or top Alts than invest new projects or ICO. There are already tons of project existing in trading exchanges that we can choose from. Maybe if the project is too unique but still realistic then we can still consider investing to give it a chance to enter in crypto.

[TheUltraElite]

as we know that in 2017 many ICO were successful (at least reached softcap) and of course the market cap was also very high at the time,

ICO was a buzzword at that time. Blame it on the media propaganda, no regulatory authorities poking their noses into the market as to what fueled that bull run.

so it proves that many people are interested to investing in cryptocurrency,

Or that many wannabe "venture capitalists" got burnt trying to turn 100$ into 1000$ and ended up getting their money locked up in a shitcoin that is worth 0.1$ now. Being an investment banker is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

but now where do these investors go?

Gone rekt or waiting for market to raise so they can sell some of that bagload of shitcoin.

because now the market cap is down and many ICO or IEO are failing (not reaching softcap), are investors no longer interested to investing in cryptocurrency? if yes, where are they investing now? or is there a more profitable investment than investing in cryptocurrency for now?

I would have said bitcoin but its beyond the point of reach at this point. If bitcoin falls b 1k-2k USD then buy it at the dip for long term. You could also look into the more traditional markets like stocks, commodities, metals.

In short, every market has this up and down cycle. Its important to enjoy the bull and suffer the bear. Only then can you be a successful trader.

[Samayuki]

I know there are scam projects in 2017 as well but investors are able to make profits out of them so i can boldly say that you don't need to do thorough research to invest in projects then unlike 2018 after bear market began, i won't be surprised if we see limited investors investing in projects this days, they lost too many money already

[maydna]

I am sure that many people still invest in cryptocurrency, but I am not sure if they are investing in the ICO or IEO because ICO and IEO will not be profitable for them. I guess right now, and the investor will choose the coin which has good progress in the market because they have a terrible experience to invest in ICO from the last year.

Even if they invest in ICO or IEO, they will throw a large amount of money into that project because I am sure that the investor now becomes careful, very carefully to select the project. Some of them use their money to invest in bitcoin because they believe that bitcoin will be rise again and will hit the very highest price.
