Death of ICOs

[LouVandetta]

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.

I don't know it really well, but I feel like IEO's popularity is fading away now. It might be due to the returns or the ROI was not that high either for the past few IEOs last year.

Since we're already in 2020, will we see another form of offerings? or will ICO return from the dead, and make a name for them once again just like how it used to be few years back.

Wont you say Bitcoin and alcoin end too bcz reducing the price and investement?

I dont think so. bearish market affects to most cryptocurrency, including IEO
IEO is still good investment, no matter reducing investment on that. bcz reducing investment doesnt only happen in IEO, but also most of coins
so, we should be fair making comparison in both. IEO is still good fundraising at this time.

No, I don't think ICOs are dead. We want to clearly understand how the market is going in this tough phase, for me time matters. Let's have a look on Ethereum I believe it is slowly figuring out it's best. Just believe 2020 will be mind-blowing for crypto market if everything goes as per the prediction wherein bitcoin halving is a major factor which will change the crypto market as it will definitely create more demand thus it will have a positive effect on the whole crypto market thus it will give a lifeline to ICOs.

Many crypto enthusiast stay away to invest in Ico because of so many scam and not profitable. Many become a victim with no return of profit when they invest in Ico. True it's dying due to also of bear market happen, the most question is Ico will ever boom in the near future? Well let's hope for the best to happen in crypto this year.

I dont see a reason for ICO to be revived on upcoming years to come even if the market would completely make its comeback or bull run.
We might able to see an another hype either we would stay on IEO thing or would see an another phase of funding when it comes to project supporting.
I havent already checked out the situation of ICOs nowadays but im pretty sure that its already close to its extinction. hehehe

The reason why the ICO is now dead is because of the developers that the main intention is to scam all other people. Plus the fact that their whitepaper is mostly plaigarized by their other project. We must really be careful on choosing ICO to invest to because some of them is a scam. Always check the background of the developers and deeply understand their whitepaper.

Although not all but you are right. Because some "bad" developers only focus to make money for them and not think about investor. Something like this we must really aware because they can look to make promising project and can attract a lot of investors.

[affandi]

Yes, right. ICO seems dead, and it seems the main cause is the number of fraud projects that cause losses for investors. In the end, investors left ICO. so that developers who want to show their seriousness in developing their altcoin / tokens, have been ignored by investors. IEO is also not very satisfying, because there are still some projects that lead to fraud. maybe the fate of IEO will be like that of ICO.

[Furryball]

ICOs consists of fake teams and fake whitepapers, IEO delivers better trust than ICO unless you invest on projects from bad exchanges, the secret of IEO profits is liquidity of the exchange the IEO project is launched on

I don't have any reason to invest in an ICO because these are projects that make investors lose more money and certainly the risk will be huge if choose to invest. Currently you can invest in IEO form because this is a form that many people choose and will certainly reduce a lot of unnecessary risks. However, you should only participate in large projects and listed at Okex, Huobi, Kucoin because these are 3 exchanges that help you earn high profits if you are lucky.

ICOs are dead now, though the things may change when the new altcoin season comes. ICO model works well on a growing market, when BTC and main altcoins are being pumped and investors are looking for some new coins/projects to invest in.

Fraudulent is like a cancer growing in the crypto market. ICO and even IEO has a vast network of fraud projects and fake teams which is the main reasons investors lose their trust in this scheme.

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

One of the reason could be, investors dont want to invest in ICO nowadays because of what has been happened last years and it can affect the whole market. I think most people think that ICO/IEO is not yet profitable and many of them are scams, but I believe its not. And there are many fake teams with fake projects everywhere and it scams many people.

The project market will die out eventually even if you call it by ICO or IEO as none of the projects were successful in coming up with solid projects even though they were able to collect insane huge amount of money, the only thing that happened during this period was that the developers who came up with the project made a ton of money and they never returned anything even if they fail to deliver which is crazy.

maybe this year ico will rise again, of course, with new strategies such as payment using existing coins such as ETH, XRP, BTC, and others.
I see several projects that want to raise funds and promote their projects to pay using ETH and BTC to their campaign participants.
I hope this will become a trend this year where all ico make payments like that.

even they operate again this year i dont think they can easily  attract investors to invest on thier project because they have already a bad reputation in world of crypto.

They die because of being useless and don’t blame the ICO itself if there’s no support from the investors. If the developer wants a real business here, then they should be more competitive and stop creating a project that wont work in the long run. Bear market has nothing to do with a new project, they should be good enough to stand on this kind of market.

That's what will really happen. Investors already have trust issues, so I don't think that ICO's will rise again. Even if something new came out and will make ICO trend again, investors will stay limited as they will try to avoid this thing again.

Is this something to worry about?

Maybe investor can be scam about one or two time for they will going to the same place and make third mistake with investing in ICO, after many ICO scam with failed raise on higher price after listing the investor never want to buy and invest with ICO any more although have potential ICO at the future with bigger bonus selling at the private sale.
