Death of ICOs

[Latines]

I am increasingly reading the title of such articles. Many people began to pay attention to the ICO, or rather its extinction, as well as IEO. But I will tell you that good projects will always live. I also read somewhere that soon 90% of altcoins will also die. But I believe that this is all guesswork. But not as unfounded statements.

I think not only will ICO die, but IEO now also has a decline in popularity with investors. Too many exchange scams and ICO scams that kill investor confidence

ICO is diminishing and some IEO is also having big market struggles because of the bear season but this is not meant that these things may end up sooner. We have to understand how ICO ruins the market trust from investors due to scamming issues and hard listed to exchanges, and it also passes to IEO. There always a chance but we know how it is hard to win back the trust when it is broke already before.

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

If I have doubt in any campaign, I keep search in scam accusation. New process is needed more time like IEO. Only few projects directly runs IEO before private sell. Real projects also can't listed if their funds is down during bear market. Main reason of death ICO is trust on new campaign

I think now will not even be more created any ICO and mainly the devs of new projects will focus on IEOs or maybe will just not do an funds gather, or will wait for a new way to gather funds for their project.

surely they will find a new way to garher funds of investors they will create new and they will make fud to make it successfull and after that will be successful other project also to gather funds will follow a new trend . It will continue until there are investors willing to invest.

Concerns about ICO projects will certainly be huge because with the number of projects shown by fraud, many investors consider it all to invest in ICO. As for the Bear market, of course it is also very influential because sometimes ICO prices do not match the products they offer so many ICO tokens fail in the price list so investors will surely lose a lot of value and will be disadvantaged and now IEO has also like ICO, what other sales system will appear in the future.

yes, indeed, this is the way it should be because the market has to develop following the wishes of traders and investors. there will be a better system than ICO or IEO that will successfully revive the crypto investment market. we will wait for the best solution for new projects and investors.

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

It is not just the only issue, the early days of ICO was a very promising people has their confident of it, and of course many ICO players and developers has a credibly but as the years goes by, many ICO where born and most of it collecting the investors money and then they've begin an old school type of scam (drama) they begin to dramatize the situation, refund etc etc. So today most of the people here, do not trust in ICO projects.

not only that, drama is created and corners certain parties. no doubt that bounty hunters are the main cause, even though we do not know that they have also planned it and as if to wash their hands. That attitude made the ICO lose trust, and eventually die

[Kupid002]

In 2020, I think the ICOs will revive. Because there is a cycle in the market. A loop can occur between ICO and IEO. Also the rise of the subcoins will start a new story. I'm waiting for Bitcoin domination to fall.

no there is no way it will revive, unless they used new strategy and new name not ICO. This is only worka if there still people want to be victim of many scam and ready to risk thier money just to earn money which is we know that not gonna happen because they expereince lost many times why would they risk again thier money.

I think you missed some main reason why ico today are becoming dead. 


1. Exit scams After raising millions of dollars they will eventually turning to scam. Or they saying that funds are hack etc.
2. Dead project coin becoming dead and don't have demand in market

Those two are both main factors why ICOs are now dead. Investors are now aware on how risky is the ICOs investment because of the scam projects where most of the developers are only focusing to gain profit and after that there is no improvement that will happen in to the project. The risks in ICOs are not worth it after all so we should learn from the mistakes of others in order for us to not make investment in ICOs anymore.

The big factor that leads to it's demise is the non regulation, ICO has become an HYIP that promises huge potential in the market, yes they do have a platform but they did not do a study if the platform or product will have a support from the community, and so one thing leads to another until  few and fewer investors are investing because they are losing a lot.

[ecnalubma]

It is not going to die but atleast only 1% will probably survive. The model will just rebrand until we figure out whats the best model that is good for both project and investors. I am no anti ICO but it should go the right way and should pass pressure and regulations so that it can brought confidence and new adopters.

Investors certainly don't want to take big risks for the investments they make. When they see a lot of new projects that end in failure and many projects that just want to make a profit and go to bring the money that has been obtained which then makes investors begin to be reluctant to invest in ICO projects and slowly new projects fail because of not achieving softcap and me think now many investors prefer to invest in the top coins.

[Xxmodded]

I think when ICO not success for sold out and raise hard cap is available failed and scam, but how come with many ICO success raise hard cap but why they are listing coin with lower price than ICO, how much money received from investor and why can't listed their coin with bigger exchange market, they have collected much money from investor and can pay for fees listing payment in bigger exchange market.

[Lantind]

I think not only will ICO die, but IEO now also has a decline in popularity with investors. Too many exchange scams and ICO scams that kill investor confidence

Yes, but exchange scams occur in new exchanges, while in exchanges that are already popular or old, scams rarely occur, so we cannot judge too many exchange scams, only a few create fraud in exchanges.

[albrots]

the condition of the crypto bear market made ICO dead and no longer popular and was added with many scammers who mastered new projects, so the project was not successful and could not raise funds. Investors are disappointed and choose not to invest their funds.
IEO has also been present as a substitute for ICO, but still a lot of manipulation and scammers to drain investor money. at the moment it is still very difficult for the project to succeed, if it does not have large initial funds to do IEO on popular exchanges.

You're conceivably joking about ICOs reviving again because the last time i checked investors are now complain about IEOs hoted on some exchanges site which is probably scam because almost 50% of every IEOs launched last dont yield something good for the investors not to mention ICOs which 95% of it are scam.

And it seems people are now taking these magic words more seriously off, and plus they are becoming aware. We cannot deny that 2017 was really a good time for them however, when the market crashed people are now handling their money way more better than before to avoid further loses. And I don't think that ICOs are going to be eradicated, they just improved to IEO, back to what they were again scamming, frauds.
