Death of ICOs

[hulla]

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.

Honestly, I have seen the IEOs scam coming before it happened and i believe the problem is from the investors because they arent about exchange site and the project they are planning to invest in. Besides, some new project DEV and some exchange bargain sometime to stral investors money which i believe people will agree with me when Yobit X10 happened. But this community only focus on Yobit while others exchange site done theirs secretly.

It was inevitable, people were concerned about their investments from the beginning but the greed was too much to control. When the highly anticipated projects started failing, people started to understand. There is no future in ICO's now.

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 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.

And just to add up, the reason we see ICOs as 'dying' is because of the hype subsiding as of now, it's primarily caused by both scammers pulling out and people too wary to invest anymore in these, which is really sad if you'll come to think of it. A lot of their projects are promisig but not well thought-out, which leads to the downfall of the project and eventually the ICO itself.

the main reason of why it stop because of a lot of scam project in the past
many people lose a lot of money and they learn that investing on it is not worth to risk anymore.
even in bounties after the team get the money the team always dissapear or the coin price drop a large amount.

You are right, the ICO market is losing its position and investor confidence, which leads to the gradual rejection of crypto projects from collecting fees through the ICO. Well, personally, I don’t see this as a big problem, because old tools are being replaced by new better ones. So you should not be upset about avoiding the ICO, you just need to grow old to always be with current trends and keep up with them.

From what i see, some developers not really serious about their project. In other side, investor actually also disturb them with asking when listed in exchange, when pump, when listed in bigger exchange, and a lot of that kind of things i see on every project's telegram. If both can balance, like developer can really active and develop their project seriously, and investor not only think about short profit, it will be very good for crypto ecosystem.

I think they are not going down as much as people imagine, back in the day there was no STO or IEO in the market at all and now there is IEO+STO+ICO all together in the market, if you get all of them combined you would realize that its actually not as bad as you imagine it is, that is why I highly suggest combining the funding of all three of those and checking out the back in the day investments to just ICO and you will see that there is not much difference, sure there still is but not as much as people think.

When it was just bitcoin and litecoin the volume was just between those two and domination of btc was high, now there are thousands and of course btc domination is lower, its something like that for the ICO as well, there still is a lower value but not enough to make a deal out of it.

Few people knew that there would be such a decline in the development of cryptocurrencies. Everyone was confident in the future, in their abilities (that’s why so many different companies were created), and then few people distinguished fraudsters from this project. What time has done its job and I hope now we have become smarter and someday everything will move off the ground.

This topic is circulating over and over in this forum and it needs to stop. All we know right now that ICOs are not that reliable than before and IEO is a more safe choice than ICO. In which you should pick what's best exchange for your choice. So much more safe in IEO doesn't mean you're completely safe.

All I know is that the ones who always say that are bounty hunters who keep urging developers to keep going into exchanges and it is true that they only think about profits, so they don't care what happens after that.
I am sure that old investors will think more about their profits compared to short because they have clear thinking about investing in projects.

Investors are now more concerned on the ability of the project to survive in the market and not just the profit itself. Because many icos took a lot of time before being listed in exchangers, many investors fear and lost interest in many icos. This is really unfortunate but also have rise for ieos in the market.

The death of ICO is a big problem that will seriously affect legit projects, although I know couple of ICOs that has done very well recently But am looking forward to see how things will turn out this year for ICO projects.

although there may be many who want to make changes but ICO is still very reliable and can grow again in the future. I agree with you that many have begun to improve so that ICO can run well and is still a mainstay for new projects. need encouragement from all so that ICO will return to its heyday.

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.

Even if there was a bull market tomorrow icos are not going to recover, when more than 90% of icos are scams and that percentage is surely to go up if we see a bull market then what it is the point in investing in them? Years ago many investors put their money in icos because they thought it was a good way to multiply your bitcoin, tell me do you still think it is a good idea? Because I do not think so and most investors in this market think the same.

For sure as the thing called 'Trust' already damaged so it is unlikely to happen again that people will trust ICOs again. For sure that people will just buy the crypto they love at dip or thru the exchange and will not ICOs anymore as the price is too high but once listed they don't even bother to do buy back system or don't care about the price anymore.

For me, ICO are dead and there is not much hope for people to invest in these projects because you will definitely encounter scam projects. In fact, you can invest in the IEO form because this is the fastest way to make a profit and there is no need to wait too long.

However, recently some IEO scam projects are appearing more and more at the bad exchange so please consider many times before investing.

And if all of that was not enough just take a look at what it is happening today, the main reason people invest in icos or in ieos is because they want to obtain profits but just look at what the market is doing at the moment in which many coins are giving huge profits in a relatively short amount of time, if you were to compare the profits that you could get in the stock market with what you can get in the market of cryptocurrencies there is no comparison you can get in a single day profits that would take traders a whole year in the stock market.

No doubt that ICOs are dead this year, IEO is still in play but looks like it will end soon as the returns of IEO investment is reducing. But people still wants to invest in cryptocurrency despite of the bear market, they all are waiting for the bull market to return. The only key for projects to success right now is that they have been backed by large investment firms, venture capitalists or they have their own funds to use for developments.

That was okay because that was not the end. Soon when they've got more secured from scam and has a limited and longer ICO we can still get some opportunity from ICO. For now, I also don't rely on ICO but I do hold bitcoin.

ICO are no longer as popular as previous years and this form of investment is almost forgotten this year so it's best to stay away from these projects in the near future. I think IEO is a new form of investment and is the next trend so investors will be very interested when participating. However, only good liquidity exchanges can help you make a profit and hundreds of different IEO projects exist in this market.
