Death of ICOs

[Lantind]

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...

But to this day investors still trust IEO more than ICO, although lately IEO has also rarely begun to be born through new projects, and hopefully in 2020 there can be better than IEO and ICO.

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

There are still ICO do success but most of the time a lot of ICO loses it's possibilities that it would success. Therefore, most of investor are scared to invest for some ICO. Most of the ICO do I have joined was already scam even the manager was trusted, it cannot do anything if the developer was the one who are the scammer.

You can doubt on a lot of ICO that's why they do trading or holding top coins than investing on ICO.

But I think when compared to successful ICO projects, it can be said that more ICO projects have turned into scams and also failed in 2018 and 2019. Indeed, at that time you could say that many investors and people participating in new projects felt disadvantaged by there is a scammer and it's true for me personally for now it's better to invest in coped coins than in new coins.

Times are different now and few years ago. IEO is next generation after ICO, I don't know where STO is coming, there are some STO projects, maybe STO is the next generation after IEO. Anyway I don't believe that new ways for projects to gather some funds means the end for the old ones. We still have ICO's, some projects think its better to try on their own then to give some exchanges a piece of the funds they plan to use for their project. We will see what future holds, but I don't think that ICO's will vanish just like that.

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.

Actually, ICO are no longer a concern of investors because they do not like to invest in less information projects and as I know, more than 95% of ICO projects are scams. I think it is necessary to end this form of investment and investors need to be smarter in choosing a project because if you cannot distinguish then you will be a victim of those projects.

I recommend you invest in IEO at some big exchanges like Huobi or Kucoin because this is where there are many good projects and your chances of earning profits will increase higher than other normal projects.

Bear market contributed to the demise of ICO, no investors are investing in ICO anymore, because they prefer coins that are already in the market like those that are in the top 10, and if they want a new coin they will just wait for it to get into the market, which unfortunately will not happen because there is no fund to list in the exchange.

These reasons apply not only for ico but also for almost all new projects. Already after the ico, the sto and ieo share the same fate. We should wait for the market situation to improve because in the present case the market is threatened in terms of price and in such a case there is no time to consider new projects. But as the market situation improves, we will be able to take care of other issues.

ICOs maybe did not die but nfortunately ICOs have lost their popularity. And because of trust issues to new projects and scam ICOs in the market, investors are now staying away from ICOs. In this case, most of the projects can not find enough funds in ICOs and causes the projects to be canceled.

[Cheesus]

ICO market is totally dead but not because of all these reasons, it's dead because ICO was full of scammers, unprofessional and bad guys! They took money from investors by promising lots of techs, later they go away with people's money. They never cared to protect the coin price to support the investor community. That's why every ICO investors count only loss, profit? Not at all from 2018 to 2019! So, I don't see any possibilities in the ICO market anymore.

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

This is exactly what makes an ICO die and scares investors when it comes to investing in ICO projects. There are many scammer in this market and try to steal money from investors by creating ICO projects with fake team and plagiarism from other projects. And even today I see a series of ICO projects without dev teams and investors, how can they attract investors with simple information like that, while investors have become much smarter and more careful than before?

[@prashant]

ICO are not getting funding because of lack of trust and now majority of project are shifting to IEO but if the project is genuine and unique ICO are also pretty successful. If there would be any regulation unit then ICO will get more attention but until then IEO can be considered as safer choice.

[reallester]

ICO lost its popularity due to fake team faking their whitepaper, roadmap and funds generated from sales. Another thing that discouraged investors from ICO is due to Team's GREED. A lot of team even after generating enough funds to fund and back their project still end up dumping the token price. You can imagine what becomes of investors.

I think because since 2018 most ICOs have been scam or failed in developing their products so they have failed to compete in the market. After that, investor confidence in ICO began to disappear and is now replaced by the IEO trend.

[Longthi_4823_Love]

ICOs are dying and losing investors around the world. This is awful and unreasonable. With such a large average amount of capital, it must grow strongly.

[Nguyenthanh2391]

2019 was the worst of the cryptocurrency market with the death of ICOs, ICOs were not even able to survive while in January 2018 there were 160 projects. Wish it could stand up in the market.

even with IEO, it cannot grow the crypto investment market. You can see that IEO has not produced many successful projects, this is related to investor confidence that cannot be improved. now their money only revolves in market trading and it is difficult to add fresh money from new projects. I think this situation has lasted for two years and we will see an update soon.

The most disappointing part of the ICOs are the highly rated projects that failed. They were over-hyped, over priced and over funded. Now they struggle to deliver the project idea, and defend the price, some never got listed in years after funding claiming the bad market as excuse. Pump with quick gain looks to be the main factors for the massive adoption of ICOs and crypto but tide might change even with the coming bitcoin rally

ICO are dead since 2018. So hard to invent something new. Too many projects on the market

yes if we look at some projects in 2018 with a successful ICO we also don't see their coins listed on the exchange or having a good price on the exchange. surprised because some projects claimed to get full funding and then they seemed like there was no update from the project they developed.

lets say not death but it can be a pause because of the bear market. i believe that when bear market is over, new strong projects are going to be launched again. And again new investors will fight to participate to the crowdsales.

ICO investment has indeed been a profitable place for investors, I think they are dead because investors no longer invest in it. they have changed investment methods, disappointment has made investors rethink for ICOs and certainly bad experiences have made investors no longer seen by investors
