The future of ICOs looks very poor.

[ivanleon]

Every crypto enthusiasts, or investors and even bounty hunters may agree with me that the future of ICOs look very poor and could turne out to be a venture that may take more than 12 months to accomplish in the future. Now, before 2018, let recall back 5 years ego, ICOs takes between 2 to 3 months to conclude but unfortunately, the situations has drastically change. We now see projects that takes up to 9 months or more to end. What could be the reason for this lomg delay?

Projects can not collect the amount they need in a short time in a couple of months, so you have to stretch the sales time, hoping to attract investors. The falling market of cryptocurrencies is worth to thank for such a situation. I think now there will be more projects with a long ICO period.n.

When a market is down by more or less 90%, expect any kind of crowdfunding to be affected. In the past, there were more optimism and hype going around the cryptocurrency market.

that's really true bro. because the price of ico uses exchange rates with Etherium and bitcoin. if we can buy the value of ico and we exchange it for paper currency surely the price is much better than using crypto like bitcoin and so on

The rise of cryptocurrency prices in late 2017 not only brought a lot of attention to some of the top, well-established cryptocurrency projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also brought attention to many new projects launching ICOs. Overall, ICOs improved in terms of the number of investors and the amount of investments. According to some estimates, ICO fundraising totaled over 5.6 billion USD last year. Despite this success, a few projects have either stopped responding to questions from the public or have collapsed altogether. It’s important to take an in-depth look at the current status of ICO investing and determine whether recent trends of ICO failures will remain prominent throughout 2018 and beyond. The quality of an ICO whitepaper is crucial in deciding whether or not a project will have long-term potential.

for ICO it looks poor I think that's not true, because 1 ICO that has quality must have big funds to start, but ICO looks poor, in my opinion the lack of trust of investors to invest in ICO is because they have started a crisis of confidence in the ICO, so it's less the sale of the ICO itself

This is all about market situation.
We all know once the market in good condition all altcoins are in good condition too.
Once the market is falling it also means the altcoins dropping. The tendency some ICOs can't contains the drastic decline. The result postponed the ICO.

there are lots of good ico but some are scam. we must be careful to choose it because it will affect the results that we will get. if we can choose the ico well then the results that will be be obtained are also good. but if we can't choose it well we won't get the results.

[Quart]

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.

The concept of the initial placement of coins is still at the initial stage of its development. Therefore, there are a lot of changes ahead of us. The first of them will be associated with regulation. The second wave of changes will be aimed at increasing the effectiveness of these campaigns. It's possible to change touch and bounty campaigns.

Poor market conditions have an impact on ICON so that many do not reach the target and result in long-term failures and delays

It looks poor these days but it will surely be back in action after this bearish market has ended and the
only question is when it will end? and no one knows about that we just hope that it will not take 2 or 3
years for the market to start recovering again.

[Delgboke]

The future of ICO is not actually poor, it is because many projects came with the intention of scamming people I think that's what cause ICO look like it has a poor future and many people lose interest in investing in ICO.

[Arybes]

I see some ICOs planning extensions because they don't reach the target in selling tokens. I don't know that because of the bear market or not. There are many ICOs that fail and are fraudulent. I think these factors cause less interest in people to participate in the ICO.

[Mikam]

If we can choose ico well, the results will be good. but if we can't choose it well, we won't get the results. there are lots of good ico but some scams. we must carefully choose it because it will affect the results we will get.

[Seeyy]

I don't know that because of the bear market or not. There are many ICOs that fail and cheat. I think these factors caused less interest in people to participate in the ICO. I saw several ICO planning extensions because they did not reach the target in selling tokens.
