Will ICOs be able to have market again?

[spyaquino 907]

Currently the crypto market is split with 66% BTC taking over and the remainder between tokens and altcoins. Well, I see that this has a big impact on the market value of tokens, including ICO's, and the value of altcoins. Smartcash for example, their value is stagnant and perhaps tends to fall, the ICO's have been experiencing turbulence, either because of the vast market of tokens, each day is created several tokens that through ICO's are put to proof. resistance in the market. Another reason may be the distrust behind the projects, the teams, we always have a back foot in investing in something new. Even with the variation of ICO, like the currencies that are launched directly in an exchange, very clear example we have LATOKEN that has a multitude of tokens launched directly in its platform. Well, I still believe in this market because as every enthusiast, and enthusiast of this market I hope that with time more and more good projects using this technology will appear. And what do you think, do ICO's still have their place in this gigantic market? Hugs!

I dont think ICO can rise again, a lot of people being scammed and ICO right now have a negatife look because of so many ICO scammed. Even Vitalik Butterin the founder on ethereum not trust in ICO anymore because its not have safe system to protect investor money.

We are already behind the era of the ICO because people are not trusting projects introduced that way anymore. Projects are now going ahead with the IEO format where the tokens are made for sale at the exchanges hence Initial Exchange Offering is the name. With so many project vying for a finite market, naturally there are many good projects left behind. It can take time before we can get back to the 2017 level. 

The IEO model, in my view, came to alleviate some disappointments compared to those of the ICO. But we have lots and lots of new projects coming up every now and then, some good, some less so. But with tokens being offered directly on Exchange in their initial offering, as things become more available.

Apart from what you have just said, with so many scam ICOs I don't think the reputation of ICOs itself is at stake. So maybe ICOs will not be able to have market again.

I think ICOs had their time in crypto history... we can't forget that the crypto market is still a baby, so it is evolving every day and there will be a lot of stuff that will disapear to give place to improved products/services

ICOs are one of this cases... I think they were replaced by IEOs already... there are only a few scams and resistant ones still holding ICOs...

ICOs main problem is to be very easy to scam, so people are finding ways to get the coin offerings some more credibility...

Times are changing and I think that simply doing an IEO will not work... the developers will have to start doing KYC, will have to use escrows for the raised money, etc, etc.... there are many assurances that are not yet in place, and it falls to the investors to only invest where the assurances are met

Well, if the ICOs is success and reach hardcap, means investors are interested on the project and if the project is success and their token listed on exchange then yes ico can have a market again. Since the booming of IEO, investors are left ICOs.

I agree with your argument, or IEO was typed to save as ICOs, because a project launched directly in return is so much more reliable. I hardly invest in ICO, but this new model may be what I will invest in, yes.

[dhemasm 219]

Maybe not for some time to come, because of various regulations and the number of ICOs that ended up being a scam, 70% of the ICOs that I participated in the campaign ended failing (Not meeting the softcap) So the next choice might be the IEO that had boomed some time before, take attention to STO too if big companies enter cryptocurrency with the STO method, maybe that will also be an alternative ICO and IEO. Cheers!

In my own humble opinion, ICO is already dead and buried. Now, if you want it to be resurrected, you need to pray to the gods of the universe that there will be a BIG miracle to come down from the heavens that can convince people to forget what happened in 2017 so they can trust ICOs again. The answer is an emphatic NO. 

Yes, I think the traditional model of ICO may be disbelieving, and that is why they are innovating each day in the way of launching a new project, as I mentioned earlier, with the arrival of the IEO mode, maybe people will find a a little more reliable, but I say maybe, because the credibility really is very shaken, I agree. 👍

Not all ICO's today can be successful but i believe some of them can be a successful ico if the team behind the project will hear the voice of their investors and supporters.

[dmnqe07 365]

ICO platform right now is really abandon, probably because of its platform that have too many scams. but i think there are some ICO projects that are really success. ICO still have a chance to bring its reputation. theres still a chance for ICO to rise again.

Yes you are right still there are many chances of ICO's that its will be a bright future  if the owner and the teams of the real project will do more struggle and also start a campaign against the  fake project.

Most likely the community no longer believes in the ICO project because they may always suffer losses, but I myself still hope that the ICO is accepted again by the way their projects show seriousness and some projects succeed then this will make ICO favored by investors again

There are many failed and scam ICOs. I think these factors cause the less interest of people to participate in ICOs. I saw some ICOs planning the extension because they don't reach the target in token sale. I don't know it is because of the bear market or not. 

You are right many people/investors lost their interest to join ICO's because many ico's went scams and even the project able to reach the target fund they also went to scam this is just a few reasons why investors lose interest in joining ico's.

[Scottsummers 347]

If the project is right there is room for the right ICO. The trouble is there is no money behind any of them anymore and for me they have been made riskyer and cheapened by Ieos. They happen so often that it's hard to take them seriously. Some countries even banned them as outright scams. I wish there was one we could get behind. But even the Litecoin foundation only gets tiny donations. So I don't expect anything else in the near future as far as icos go. 

[dmnqe07 365]

ICO platform is being forgotten, well probably the reason is most of their projects is scam. i think if ICO do well with their platform they could have been become more better from now. but the problem is ICOs has a lot scammers which really cost of people less interest. 

[scorpiali 5626]

As you said we still and should bielve in the ICO market because we make a lot of profit in the past we can't forget about it no. There is all the time some good ico that have a good project to support 

And as you said again Latoken exchange offer a lot of ico or ieo as you like that really profitable i have some of theme and i still wait for distribution LOL 

[Jimmy 437]

I don't think so. It is very difficult for ICO to gain momentum again because investors and I prefer to follow IEO where this method is better for me than ICO. From various factors, I don't think it is necessary to explain the details here why you can read some thread before guys.

[CryptoBoy20 170]

No ICO won't be able to have market again because fake/scam project is increasing day by day every scammer is creating their token that's why there have only 90% chances to have market again.

[I-KUN 422]

i think there is still an available space for ICO in the market. but of course, some ICOs need to get the investors trust back.  there are still some ICOs that run a serious projects will get a good market and they still exist till now.

[Jimmy 437]

Although it is possible but I think the opportunity is very small because now there are methods that are more efficient and also secure such as IEO where projects that will enter the IEO platform need to verify first and I think investors also prefer IEO over ICO.

[MOProgress 363]

From the topic, I doubt if ICO will be able to gain the market again. IEOs have taken over the market, people now trust IEOs more than ICOs. Although they all the same thing, the only the is that the name was rephrase from ICO to IEO. also people tend to trust IEOs because the have the possibility of getting listed earlier than ICOs.

[duncun007 3577]

i think if the ico was some how made to be more trusted and the coin teams are backed by some big investors then yea some ico might work and actually be sold out in few hours because people are always willing to buy but they need to trust the coin first.

[dmnqe07 365]

ICO platform is facing now the fall down, if they ever make it to the market again well that's great but still a lot of investors will doubt them because of what happen to their past, right now IEO replace them which is doing great right now.

Although IEO now replaces ICO, it still difficult to gain trust from the investor, especially if the market still at the bear market, and maybe IEO will end the same as ICO. But IEO still running so far and still trying to get more investors to invest in their project. I don't think there is an investor who would come to the project because the investor already has a bad experience from the ICO and some IEO. Maybe the investor will watch first of the IEO, and they will invest if they can find a good project. I don't know what will happen with the IEO or ICO in this year and I think we will see something new in the next year.
