Does the ICO have a future in 2020?

[Mahanton]

Good afternoon! In your opinion, how relevant is the ICO in 2020 after many projects turned out to be scammers?

Its better to set aside this kind of investment rather than risking out your money just because you do hope for some gains.I'll tell you this,
ICO becomes shit nowadays after that 2017 bull run yet majority of them becomes scam.Come to think that we head up on IEO thing
but this one will turn out to be shit soon.Just to observe even IEO do still struggle nowadays which i cant really blame investors
because getting involved into most projects doesnt give out high probability on making profits.

I personally find it hard to believe that 2020 will be a good time for new projects and even less likely for ICOs since most of the investors will have to take into consideration the fact that soon there will be a global recession plunge - an event which at first was unforeseeable but seems to be closing in with every moment that passes. That's to say that not many people will be prepared for supporting projects which may end up unsuccessful.

most ICOs are no longer a good choice for the money collection process, only by way of the IEO can be the right choice for this year and who have a lot of interest-based exchange-based projects.

From recent event its is so clear that the ICO model of crowd funding has hit a rock bottom in 2019 so looking for any ICO in 2020 that will be a success is practically difficult. Most project have shifted to the IEO model if raising funds and that's what it's in vogue right now

I have not also n=seen any project lately use the word ICO, because they all want to be on a safer side. They know if they use it, there will be nothing for them. even if they cannot afford to do their fundraising on a good exchange, they will go for one of the cheapest around and call it IEO.

The ico model has already started to recover from its bottom again to follow the trend that is still happening with bitcoin. You can see that there was a bunch of new IEOs got successful to raise the funds and again people have become smart people consider they were only taking the trusted project from in the market.
If this positive trend will continue and there was a change for ICO or IEO trend will be very popular again.

The future of ICO ended when binance hosted IEO for bittorent tokensale. People are literally done with Ico's because of many scam exits and the difficulty in know which one is guenuine. IEO offers a bit more of security in as much as the whole market is unpredictable, if you follow ieo's that got listed on exchanges such as binance, kucoin, gate, okex and others, there's always a greater chance that such project are unique and they do have a huge tendencies of returning higher ROI

Literally! ICO is dead and IEO will be soon if a better alternatives to crypto fund raising emerges. Gone are those days we hustled hard to get in on finance launch pad for fetch and matic. Now, I am indifferent to IEOs and I prefer my day to day trades

[Genemind]

People's focus nowadays is in IEO since they won't need to get a token listed. ICO had been long dead because of the number of scams and failed projects since the end of the bull-market last 2017. There may be some good projects conducting ICOs but I doubt if they can gather enough funds due to bad reputations of this kind of coin offering.

[Denongels]

in my opinion not because ico newcomers in Q1 this year did not show good sales and because I have now entered Q2 I think this is not much different, and also currently better projects from IEO than with ICO because this is a little guarantee, but it depends on what launchpad it is for example coming from a sh*t exchange I think their chances of getting fund is very small.

[Cheesus]

Well, personally I think ICO days are over now, you can't rewind it anymore! Investors, bounty hunters all are moved on from ICO sale ideas! ICO or STO both has no investor, both are dead! So, there is no future for ICO projects! Better move on, but listed top coins or invest in top exchange's IEO!

We know that ICO was once popular, and reached its heyday in 2017. ICO's popularity declined when fraudsters used ICO to commit fraud, make fake projects, and then run off investors' money. Investor confidence is declining, it has a bad impact on the ICO project. Until the trend changes and IEO becomes the best choice because it can increase investor confidence, especially what is done in a trusted exchange.

IMHO, ICO can be popular again if public fundraising efforts are supported by TOP exchange. This was done in 2018. But it looks like IEO's popularity is still unbeatable.

I ain't a pessimist but I strongly doubt if anybody would want to invest in an ICO especially the ones which don't have any products in this industry. The days of investing in ideas written in whitepapers are over, investors are now into products that are working or better still a project which has been able to fund itself to a substantial level before running an ICO.

There will be a third way to raise money for new project, we know that 2017 ago ICO was the popular money raise money for new project and had made a lot of project that successful and also the investor got a lot of profit, this is the first way in crypto industry. The second way is IEO, this event had been popular in 2019 ago. A lot of project who have been launched by some exchanges and the investor has got a lot of profit as well. So I guess 2020 will have a new way to raise money for new project.

To evaluate the current performance of ICO, it was just dumb drowning and people never cares so much for them but rather to look into IEO. The market evolves by now and that ICO who's ruining the market will receive also the consequences. As we look into the market today, IEO is getting hot, though we can't deny that some of them fail to achieve their goal/target but people never look like a failure instead, they still believe that devs will work on it. Unlikely, what they look over ICO.

ICO era was done and we are now at IEO, people are expecting a lot for these IEO projects.

[mahilchii]

Actually it depends on how good the project is, ICOs we're very successful before years. Unfortunately now it has turned as a scam market people lost hope on ICO project these days and they don't want to take risk anymore, rather they invest in trusted exchanges IEO.

Especially binance has turned the limelight's on people's eye and they are already leading from the front in the exchanges they have built a strong trust and belief across the investors.

Obviously no. ICOs can be scammed easily. Though Once it was very popular but right now
nobody going to buy ICO token/coin instead of IEO. Why should one think about ICOs, when better option IEOs already available in market!!

If you are thinking both are different and you may need to learn more about that. There was also a lot of scam IEOs too. The fact that both scam IEO and ICO will always exist forever until the scammer can be erased from the world.
ICO and IEO have future. IEO can also be scammed easily like ICO. Look at so many scam IEO on p2pb2b

[meldrio1]

It is really damaging the image of ICOs because of the scammers, investors were prefer to invest coins that already in exchange but I'm hoping a good year for ICOs  after this pandemic.

you said scam will exist forever but your hoping that scamer can be erased one day  ?  exist forever means they are permanent but the truth is that no permanent in this world   . scammers can be busted too but only they will be replace by new scammers  and so on...  ico and ieo are only a slang term so we cant say that they are bad but under the term ico and ieo there have many projects   . you can say most of them are bad but few are still worth it   .

[Ozero]

There is no future to the ICO anymore many people did not wanr to invest including me becausw of the scam project.
They are scared and that is natural because they saw more ICO did not pay the investord or even the bounty hunters and I think that is enough reason for us to stop investing to the ICO to not lose your money.

ICO project fraud is temporary. They will quickly disappear after states begin to regulate this type of activity. It is enough to enter the registration of the ICO team or licensing of this activity and a significant part of fraud will disappear forever.
There is still no alternative to an ICO and, apparently, will not. Therefore, with organizational regulation by the states, the ICO will function quite successfully in the future.

I am.not sure why this question keeps propping up definitely ico are going to be there . Infact it's betters than the ico that happened during the bull run because people can filter out smart projects now.
