Death of ICOs

[tenakha]

It stopped being secured crowdfunding, scammers are now ruling the ICO industry, they are all after money and not the development of Cryptocurrency, the bear market is also a big factor so many of ICO did not reach their even their softcap, because investors are now more on investing on coins that are on the market, they want to recover their losses in ICO.

In this market, a nonprofitable investment type like ICOs can not survive for a long time. ICOs were a choice for the majority to make more profits in the past, but in the present case a choice to lose more. Even so, these results are normal. In addition, the increase in scammers is another repellent reason. Now, when we investigate the project, the first thing we consider about is whether it is scam. Under these circumstances, old projects are definitely the better choice.

ICO terminations in 2019 were unimaginably inadequate contrasted with 2018 August and October both had none, while January 2018 had 160 projects. All things considered, 2019 projects raised additionally funding on average $6.8 million contrasted with 2018 $132,000, still ICOs are losing popularity because of

1. Concerns with funded projects
2. Regulatory hurdles with selling the tokens
3. Crypto bear market

The big factors are the scammers creating projects to lure investors to invest, look on the scam section and you will see there are over thousands of scam projects that are posted there with so many issues like copying other platform faking their team members and admins running away with investors fund, it's not the bear market only but the scammers who ruin this crowdfunding.

It's an awful ICO project in 2019, because so many projects that fail and scam. So indeed ICO is currently in critical condition. But in my opinion
it can't be said that ICO is dead, because there are still several ICO projects that have proven to be good.This happened because the bear market
is prolonged, making investors afraid to invest. So in 2020 it is likely to be different, because the signs of a bullish market are becoming more
visible. Hopefully it's true that bullish market will soon occur in 2020. So it can make all cryptocurrency prices rise and will have an impact on
the development of ICO can also rise.

ICO lose populairy because there are private sales for people with money and connections
so many coins going to launch that way in 2020 and dump on retail investors...

[gielbier]

basically investors don't benefit from their investments, so don't be surprised if icos die slowly. how is it that ico will continue to live if the essence of it never gets anything commensurate, that's the real problem in my opinion

I agree with you, because when ICO tokens/coins enter exchangers the price will dump. Because investors also want to get profits from their investments, and maybe because of its many ICO scams, ICO is also slowly dying.

4. The greedy investors.
Investors right now are just having fun with quick profits and left the project behind while the project is in still developing phase, that's why so many projects collaps and looks like become a scam because investors are selling their tokens with cheap price (as long as they already got the profits) and move to another project to do the same.

How is it possible that you have forgotten both magic words? Oh I know you must be wondering what I'm talking about, right? Here are the two magic words that make people stop investing money in these ICOs:

1 - FAKE TEAM

2 - Plagiarized Whitepaper

You can look at the number of scam cases: Scam Accusations

It is really that simple, many are looking for all kind of explanations about why something like this is happening but if the market of icos was not populated in its majority by scammers then they will receive more funding, no one is in this market trying to lose money and icos have been a waste of money for years, it has become so bad that to be honest I do not even give them the benefit of the doubt, to me all icos are scams until they can prove they are not.

Many ICO project use fake team, fake whitepaper and try for scamming many investor with their coin and most effect for other trusted ICO less investor because they are really serious about their ICO project, but most problem why many ICOs failed I think bitcoin always have lower price and most platform payment for ICO like ethereum and litecoin keep with lower price and needed higher amount for developer listing coin on exchange market.

ICO losing popularity after launching IEO project with bigger exchange market like Binance, for ICOs still not guarantee their coin will listed on bigger exchange market because developer always break their promise after  ICO ended and listing delay with long time, how ever many investor move investment from ICO to IEO because keep faster listing than ICO investment project.

[xZork]

The biggest reason for the death of an ICO is that it's so easy to create a token or a coin, so the development team only tries to advertise and then sells the token and leaves. Some tokens may be listed on the trade but it will quickly depreciate and die, which reduces investor confidence.

It ruins the reputation of ICO's and most of them are just trying to take advantage of us to get the benefits they wanted, particularly on newbies because they don't have enough understanding regarding on finding a worthy project for them. Scam projects are the reason why investors are in doubt because they can't assure themselves that their funds will not be wasted for nothing, we can't change the fact that some projects are made to deceive some investors. It's also the reason why you can't blame some investor for thinking that investing in some project these days are not worth it and beneficial because some of them had experienced losing money. Therefore we have to be cautious before investing, we need to make sure that it's legit so we will not end up falling into scammers tricks because even the whitepaper can't be the basis for trusting and believing a project.

This is really true that the ICO has gone vanished in response to the market behaviour and the fraud prevailing in the ICO. But, in place of this the new has come that is IEO and the STO which are quite regulated but not running as like in the 2017. This because of may be the boredom situation of the current market situation. So, you can't say that the pooling of the money concept from the public totally disappear.

Investors have realized that most ICO and IEO projects follow the principle of pumping and pouring. The development team is only trying to advertise to attract investors, most of the projects do not bring anything.
If you take two tokens from two different projects and compare them, you can hardly find their differences. In addition, the absence of any legal regulations for ICOs also makes fraud thrive.

In my opinion, such a decline in the popularity of ICO projects was caused primarily by the lack of regulation of this type of activity by the states and the current state of the cryptocurrency market, in which altcoins have been in decline for two years now. If states organizationally began to regulate ICO projects, the percentage of fraud in them would drop sharply and this would restore confidence in them. At the current stage, the situation with ICO projects can be saved only by their state regulation.

That is what is expected "regulation" If the ICO is regulated by each country, surely it will greatly affect the ICO market. And most likely the ICO market will return. But unfortunately, none of that has ever been done until now. So that ICO is a bad market for investment.

ICO era has been over and ieo is taking over. Most common things of ico deaths .

Project wont continue because dev abandoned the team.

The question is who will regulate this ICO? The project developer launched ICO to get funds and this was done using decentralized coins, and we all know that the government will hate decentralization. Especially if the government intervenes, it will certainly be taxed on these projects, and the developer will certainly not agree.

We only need private institutions that are able to manage this crypto business, which will later be subject to this institution without government intervention, its role is to verify every ICO that will be launched.

[anxenial]

I think 1 of the major issue in ICO stage was SCAMMERS which become severely happen in previous year/s. Crowdfunding became popular in BLOCKCHAIN and its the best way raised money for the project development but people loss faith in it due to fake ICO's.

Yes, the lack of legal regulations also contributes to the chaotic ICO market.
However, the current government has not yet recognized cryptocurrency as a currency so it is difficult for us to receive specific regulations in this case.
Besides, cryptocurrencies are decentralized and there is no government that can handle it. If there is an ICO managed by the government that looks like Fiat currency, then it is not attractive to investors.
