Why are ICO periods long?

[alltalk]

It is a strategy of project team to get more funds / to sell more ICO coins. They sometimes offer discounts to attract investors. Long period of ICO can increase the possibility to reach the maximum achievement in ICO.

ICO period are sometimes categorized into phases with different bonuses and as such takes a longer period of time. The period is normally widened in order to reach more investors through the bounty advertisement and other means.

I think most of the ICOs are taking so long of their campaign it's because they want to find more investors and to give them enough time to think if they need to invest or not and most especially if the target sales is having hard time to reach.

More than it the ICO periode long because the developer of team the project, they need long time to make the projects to be more better, successfull in the future. The best ICO projects usually needs time to building the projects and i don't think it is just about the money only, because investors will put their money in the real of ICOs projects than just see the ICO on their marketing.

If the sale hasn't hardcap, the ICO will likely be extended, on the other hand the team from the project believes that their project will have a place in the community in the future.

They are long because they have different kind of stages, and they need to gather more investors to reach either softcap or hardcap. That is why ICO periods are long.

This is good strategy on the part of the team but not for the bounty hunters although we can't do anything on it. Because there are campaign last for too long but still didn't reach the target fund. Others became successful but the price of a coin crash after listed on the market.

ICOs have their own duration and you can see and read it to their whitepaper but sometimes it will depend on the money they are being collected during the crowd sale it may take months, years or even early after they are sold-out their token and the bounty token to be distributed to bounty hunters is will be announce and we have patiently waiting for it.

[TERENCIO]

It remind me of EOS, the ICO taken too long even though they already raised millions of dollars. This time around is different  because  they don't reach their hardcap so they have to extend their ICO.

The best ICO projects usually take time to build a project and I don't think it's just about money, because investors will put their money in an actual ICO project rather than just looking at the ICO in their marketing. More than that long ICO period because the project team developers, they it takes a long time to make the project better and successful in the future.

maximum ICOs ends as plans because they hit it is smooth and difficult cap respectively, and a few may even increase for more investors to buy it shares of the coin/token there with the aid of making the ICO closing longer than it meant.wish there has been some unsaid rule in which in case you increase past your date, you need to double the bounty bonus.

I think the reason why ICO periods are long because the project is not interesting.

[Keras lur]

because the ICO has a lot of enthusiasts, so that everyone prefers ICO as work material, ICO is one of the safest transactions.

[Confero]

Yes, the ICO period is long because their products have not been sold out. if only the Token / Coins of the ICO are sold or run out in a short time, of course the ICO will not last long.

[Ghozrd]

long ICO period because projects want to have more investors and continue to want to develop their projects.
As we know, unsold tokens will be burned after ICO.
