The return of ICOs

[M0N3YMAGNET]

Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a come back? I do and here is why. Every year dozens of companies raise money in Silicon Valley for startups, many pre revenue. Also, with the economy injured from nCov19, it would make sense to allow for new economies. This would include letting new startups in Blockchain raise money, and imo if they are well vetted, and trusted by the community, they should be allowed to raise money. What do you think?

Projects are raising money successfully using IEO, if you don't know well ICO was ruined because of many exit scam that happened two years ago, we still have good investors on big exchanges, I don't see any reason to keep hoping for ICO to make a come back.

There is no way it will be back again that era of hype created  in ICO is  ended .way back 2017 and 2018 when there are many persons fully support any ICO created,We need to understand what investors experience during that time .

More of the investors lost instead of  profiting, they are expecting to get a good return in the money they use to invest but opposite  things happen .and this is the reason  why it is gonna  be hard for any ICO project to return back.

that is if investors trust the funds sent to the team's wallet. we have not seen this happen at least i have not seen it happen since 2018. but its sent to the exchange that allowed the team to do that IEO. most of them are struggling to go up after it.

having the coins to the team will likely help the project to be developed quickly since they can hire more developers. but that's not what is happening when everything seem to be manipulated.

No matter how many good projects out there but if poorly regulated I don’t think investors will buy it like they bought tokens in 2017. Crypto investors are now more mature and they cannot afford to lose ton of money anymore, but I have no doubt that it will boom again once investors are satisfied with the regulations or model.

[sujonali1819]

Maybe it will not come again with the hype like 2017, because Real project and real investor both are afraid about ico now. real project thinks maybe they will not collect enough money and loss their investment by opening ico, again investor are started to think after 2017 that ICO is now a shit thing for investment, it more risky than profitable. But the scam project will not stop and they will keep opening their scam icos.

[Valzador]

Anything can happen, but considering that there is already an IEO, ICO will be challenging to do because there is no guarantee whatsoever on the ICO.

[killerfrost]

Now new projects are still appearing, but they didn't choose ICO because it's too dangerous. Investors will stay away from the project if they do an ICO because they think it might be a scam. IEO will be the best choice at the present time and it easily makes the project successful

Yeah, new blockchain based projects should be allowed to raise funds but only after filtering for quality, practicality and competency of the team because trust is a must thing and fake and scam icos have dented the investor confidence badly which needs to be regained, obviously IEOs are one step forward towards that but we know not all projects are able to list at a reputable ieo launchpad.

ICO, IEO, Crowdfunding and whatever everyone said about a raising money attempt.

They all same, they focus on raising money from the projects they offer. The different only the method they are using for raising money, as long on cryptocurrency always have some improvement, new idea and etc about the development of blockchain. There will be always a project who conduct all of the method of raising money for their project.

The way i see it, the bitcoin is about to rally and there will be many people trying to make a run for the money and it is possible that there will be many ICO appearing in the coming months, other than that it is highly unlikely anyone would invest who had a bad experience in the ICO market.
If a company has a promising project that could make money then it could attract investors without going public.

But different ways will yield different results. If new projects choose ICOs to raise funds, I believe that they are likely to fail, there have been too many ICO scams over the years and now investors are no longer paying attention to it. IEO is a much better option for fundraising and if they do it at major exchanges, they will surely succeed.

[LbtalkL]

I don't think so, ICO days are gone investors are not interested on ICO's anymore which majority of them are scam now. But I don't close my door on ICO's. Maybe if something big will happen like SEC list of approve projects that are verified and real, It can trigger some hype and trust. But as of now, I don't think that will happen   regulations are very strict on ICO, in fact, some countries are banning it. Last ICO boom was bullrun is 2017, Maybe if there is another bullrun? But I am not confident that ICO will be back even if there is a bullrun.

[siddartha1492]

I don't think ICO boom is happening again. It's just not about the bad experience from 2017, where majority of ICOs were scams; but also due to SEC regulatory issues. Even legit projects are in limbo coz of SEC. And we all know no ICO is complete without the involvement of US investors.

[ScamViruS]

That hype doesn’t seem to come anymore like 2017. Because investors have already moved away from ico. Investors have lost a lot of their money by investing in scam ico. The situation of ico is such that even if many good projects come, they cannot be successful. The main reason for this is that people have lost faith in ico. Now you see the new projects that are listed on the exchange, each project's tokens / coins have dumped huge. So why would investors invest again? to lose their money? So I think ico's days are over.

Maybe OP was not aware of these kind of crowdfunding or fundraising projects.

There will be always a project who conduct all of the method of raising money for their project.

@Ryzaadit is right, these are all the same (mostly) coz it targets to fund a project but it has also uncertainty like any initial project but what IEO can promise is the return of investment at what rate? we don't know it still depends on the success of the project, if the project gets highly recognized and supported the higher the return however it could also turn into a cruel fate if its not. And I doubt there will be new projects, what I mean with new is an innovative one, non-existing project as of now.

The golden era of crypto projects has ended ( 2016 - 2017) who's agree with me?

The ICO is dead and it will not be able to explode again. There were so many ICO scams in 2017 and 2018, it made a lot of people lose money when investing in ICOs. Now people are trying to stay away from ICOs as far as possible

Also, with the economy injured from nCov19, it would make sense to allow for new economies. This would include letting new startups in Blockchain raise money, and imo if they are well vetted, and trusted by the community, they should be allowed to raise money. What do you think?

You're correct when you talk about the economic plunge caused by covid-19 and of course new start-ups in the blockchain technology are not forbidden to help the situation, but how many of this start-ups/new icos are going to be legitimate; we have already had plenty of them just when the pandemic started to spread through the world, so many 'corona virus' coins and also projects on charity campaigns for lives affected by the virus, but all of them are headed and controlled by scammers, and they'll be gone(exit scam)if they raise funds from investors.

New icos would not help revive the economy hampered by the corona virus pandemic, many individuals have lost their livelihoods and jobs and may be looking for new ways to invest and make money, they may invest in this new icos and lose more money, which only makes things worse imo.

But it wouldn't be an ICO anymore. They can still have a crowdfunding but there's no need to let it through an ICO. Most startups that comes from Silicon Valley have higher chances of getting investors than any ICO and they don't have to make it as an ICO.
Angel investors looks forward to them and I don't think they've been thinking of this idea.

yeah, agree, it is hard to expect that ICO time will come back, today or any day after, since there was a bit of scams within ICO time, and most of people do not want to invest in those schemes, new people will be introduced to the market, but do not think that they will join ICO's with IEO and similar investment opportunities available
we need good projects to create new hype, no matter which type of financing will be dominant in that era
