I think that ico projects are slowly dying. Fraud there are many. Investing in bitcoin or Ethereum is much safer. 
Topic: 2018 ICO FAILED, NEXT INVESTMENT MOVE? (Read 420 times)
In the realities of a bear market, the situation with investing in startups can be saved only by the launch of STO, and if the trend changes to bullish, the ICO will once again bring profit.
investment will obviously be more secure, but to gain profit through ICO it seems that it is very complicated now, because all projects use ERC20, if ETH still does not want to go up at a high price, all altcoins will be directly dumped if they are listed on the market
I don't want to agree that ICO has fail,just that our expectation is too high that many thought become rich overnight is possible through by using ICO as medium for that.
Investing on a ICO project now a days are too risky not just like the old days, meaning in general you cannot avoid to get scam or project failed. There is no investments projects has a good potential to generate a profits without lossing something, we investors had no choice but to accept the risk in crypto currency business. The very best moves is to chooce a good one and invest that you can afford to lose.
We can't say that ICO has failed when even the entire Cryptocurrency market does not look promising this year. I think we should give ICO. more time and see how it will react once the market trend is positive before tagging it as failed investment model
I have not thought of a new investment. But I think the investment in the classic altcoin is still better
I agree with you and also think that ICOs have failed in 2018 and it does not give any profit anymore. I have switched to altcoin investments, because they are a bit more stable than ICO projects and I still believe that you can gain good profit with altcoins.
no warranty is definitely an investment, especially in crypto. When you want to invest in ICO then yourself that will determine whether the result would be worth the good or bad. Crypto investment has a lot of risks and it's like a betting when it can't analyze it for sure.
Right now? It is good to close the hatch doors leading to opportunity ico right this year 2018. And open it on the starting on 2019 year. I always thought I could make a breakthrough investment on this year but turns out it was the opposite.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
ICOs are still a good tool, but now they are in wrong hands. We need some platform to bring order back to this part of the market in the nearest future.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
Well, since cryptocurrencies are perceived today only as an investment asset, I think that the next step will be the transformation of ICO into STO, I do not see any other development path today. As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
You still can invest in wide majority of altcoins, so there is nothing to worry about. I want you to pay some attention to LTC in the nearest future.
When in 2019 most of successfull ICOs will rease working projects, price for tokens will increase, so people will start invest ICOs once again.
There is no future for ICOs, especially now, when there is no regulations. Investors are too scared and we all can undestand the reason for the to behave so.
Yes, a lot of scams a lot of good projects did not raise soft. This is a normal process of evolution. Remind 1998-2000 the boom of dot.coms - companies with just simple web page were raising millions of dollars investments. Then most of them crashed, but some had survived like Amazon and others.
In this case, one cannot but agree that there are very, very many situations in which we see with you how often it happens that projects simply deceive people and try to simply steal money. I think that further new solutions will be integrated with us
It's a bit harsh to call the 2018 a failure. The situation the market is going through now is very common and it can come at any moment. The risk is always there, you just need to deal with it.
Some fradulent ICOs are the main reason behind this, although it is not entirely a lost cause this year for ICOs. Some legit ICOs did well in this market. Looking forward, I think DApps will get significant momentum so you might consider them for investment. Specially, the games are pretty good.
Even though there are a lot of failed ICOs this year but many of them who had a new potentials and technology also succeeded. And we have to remember that investments are always risky.
It is better to invest in coins if the risk factor of investing in ICOs are taken into account. It is advised to invest in bitcoin and holding it until the price increases.
We can see that more than half of 2018 has passed and most of the ICOS campaigns are difficult and require more time to raise funds. So investors are losing interest at this moment. I think the ICOS campaign will be good since November this year.
People here in forum promise bull run from month to month, but for me, it seems that it will not happen this year, so lets wait for New Year and hope it will bring a new move then.

If ICO fails you should take challenge to get out from crypto market and find another way. Bitcoin maybe will not fail/ crash/ scam because already have audiences ( investor ) in big number and high quality transactions, this is also opportunity if you want still keep stay on crypto. Do your best for your future and good luck.
There is no guarantee investment in crypto, all of it has risk to take so if you are willing to take the risk then you can move to the next level of investing.
To have a safe investment, just stick to bitcoin and buy as many as you can while its on the dip.
To have a safe investment, just stick to bitcoin and buy as many as you can while its on the dip.
It is time to do your own analyze or research in order to minimize risk. You may focus on blockchain projects. They may be very profitable.
I think it is too early to bury this type of investment, now is not the easiest period, but this is the time after which the ICO process can become a truly effective tool for raising funds.
I would suggest you to invest into big market cappitalization coin like Ethereum or IOTA. This is the last time for buying these coins for cheap.
The ICO will definitely not guarantee this year's guarantee, in my opinion, it is not possible to see many prospects from the ICO. If you need a good amount of funds, develop a range of responses, research and evaluate the top.
Wait a little bit more. 2018 is not over yet. We still have 2 months left to make the crypto great again. We just need a new wave of hype and more fresh investors to join the market. Wait a little bit more and stay tuned.
In investing there are no gurantees, if you expect to succeed so easily, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. With any investment it is crucial to understand what it is you're investing in, the potential of the project and what a possible outcome that can be expected. And even after all that fails well, you at least gave it your all and can't blame yourself. All you can do is be more careful with future investments.
I think the next move not only for ICOs but the entire industry is a bullish trend of the whole market, when will have huge market capitalization, investors will not find it difficult to invest their profits in ICOs.
it says safe, many are safe, but very few ICOs have high prices after listing on the market, I think the current forms of projects are more profitable for the company itself than investors
It can not be called a failed year for ICOs because of some unsuccessful ones. The market situation is about to change for good. I think its too early to eliminate ICO off the market
In this crypto market. only thosse with high expectency without proper understanding of the market will call 2018 a failure. It is true that 2018 is a difficult time for the crypto market and its investors, but considering the nature of the market it is not unnatural. And there are no ways to guarantee a safe investment in this market.
Currency is always unstable and there will be no guarantee in it while investing. The best one can do is analyse the data of the previous time and invest or hold back. Also patience and observing carefully would help too, but nothing will come in handy just at once.
I do not agree with you, at the beginning of this year the market was good and everyone could make money on it, there were very good projects this year, and they continue to enter the market. I found a promising company @swachhcoin. The project will pay people for their trash. At the moment there is a 10% bonus, you can buy coins by the end of October. I advise you to see the project.
Just relax and wait for the next wave of the sea what will happen if ico is much unprofitable this 2018 maybe 2019 will change the price of coins.
Most Ico’s this year failed even it is failed we have an option to invest in other crypto that will gains you profit. Invest in bitcoin long term then once it rises you can earn profit. No one can guarantee you because of the fluctuation of price invest at your own risks.
Despite the fact that the current situation, some ICOs this year has greatly in the midst of it all. However the truth must be told most of the ICOs that failed this year would have come out fine had it been it was the previous year. Let all hope for the best in the coming year.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
Yes almost but not at all. So market gets its balance. So many ICO is proccessing at the same time. But it is important thing to quality about ICO's. So a few ICO has been success in this bear market also. Because they had quality and community support.
ICO has always been existing in cryptocurrency and many cryptocurrency enthusiast frown at the idea of pre mined ICO. But the success of ethereum platform got ico more popular in 2017! ICO will still be a good way to raise fund for good project I guess we are in healthy normal ICO funding state now!
it seems like most people will return to their real estate, some who still want to survive to get profit in the crypto world, maybe will choose trading in the long run or as a miner. but in my opinion this ICO failure is only temporary, due to the large number of ICOs released this year, because the roadmap has not yet run in full
In the last two months of 2017, ICO projects, which are very popular and profitable investment vehicles, unfortunately lost their power and dominance within the market in an early period. Especially in the first quarter of 2018, these projects have received serious investment and have started to lose their earnings and become a loss to their investors. Next, which type of investment becomes popular and earns serious profits is very difficult to estimate but the last 2 months of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 will not be empty. I also take this issue to my follow-up list where different opinions and recommendations will be made.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
how can you say that "ico failed"? A lot of great project and ico has been launched this year. Yes, their price maybe is lower that the original ico price, but the projects may be real good.
I think very more ico failed at this years because down price of bitcoin.maybe if bitcoin price will back up it will make some ico will be succes at next years..we just wait and look detail ico for prediction succes or failed their project
In investing theres no guarantee. But if you want to be on a safer lane why not just buy bitcoin and hold it until the market has fully stabilized?
Ive heard of STO's but I'm not sure if people are going to buy that new idea of investing.

I agree with you when the comes to trading you have to face happiness, difficulties everything. You will always not get profit everytime obviously luck plays a big role here. The entire market has failed and people cannot blame on ICO. Long-term investment will make you good benefit for sure. If you have faith you can invest.
Although it has a big factor but don't fully rely on your luck in investment. You need to be knowledgeable, if you aren't good with it then start with the basics and apply everything you have learned so you can study very well on how it is going to be effective with your strategy. Don't also depend on ICOs, soon most of them are going to be replaced by something new just like what I've said.
ICO processes are failing a lot. We shouldn't invest in ICO for a while. There are also cases of fraud, so we have to be careful.
I bet on investing in the best dApps (like Experty) and decentralized games (like Soccer Manager Crypto) because of their mass adoption. Good working decentralized products will rise up the crypto and new people will come and buy crypto to use this products.
Most Ico's have and will fail but the fact that the market is no longer as open as it once was can hurt legit and great projects which ultimately slow progress in adoption and technology.
ICO will not provide a guarantee that for sure. It could even be seen for this year, in my opinion, many of the ICO who have the results did not match expectations. a growing number of scam popping up behind ICO and is quite troubling. If it wants the good of an investment then do good research and analysis as well as expand references to at least make it into a little assured.
So many fucking ICOs, investor dont want to invest on those ICOs because too risky
intererst rate is growing now, investor chooses to invest on deposit maybe

Yes, 2018 does not make us happy with good projects in the cryptocurrency world. But still there are such projects that manage to collect the necessary number of funds for development. There are a few terms that can be used by projects when collecting money ico, ito and tge, they are somewhat similar and interchangeable. Then something else will come up to attract money, but the meaning remains the same.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
This is not a bear market, this is just the absence of unrealistic euphoria. 2017 was not normal behaviour. Even the stupidest ideas with nothing but a whitepaper were getting funded. Now we are in a situation were dumb ideas don't get funded and even the good ideas are very carefully scrutinized. This is a return to normal and unlike 2017 this market is sustainable. 
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
I partly agree with the assessment that this year is never the year for ICOs whether new or those that got already their own funding and now being traded in many exchanges. In fact, if you look at the whole market, we can conclude that this can be a BIG DISASTER specially from the investor's point of view. Nobody does not want to lose money and if you bought tokens and coins and their value is now only around 20% or worse just 10% compared at their highest then there must be something wrong here. There has to be something that must be done by the ICO community to arrest this negative trajectory.
Now we have no new money coming into Crypto and just more and more new ICOS coming out, so investors are much more choosy as to where they will park their funds and into what project. I also saw so many ICOS turn scam this year too which has made everyone weary and extra cautious. I actually prefer to invest n projects after they hit exchanges and once I know the Team is actually hardworking but to be honest I prefer investing in projects that have shown some real work and are really undervalued because of the bear market and invest in 100% solid projects than totally gamble into the unknown, unless like I said, they have excellent credentials. Other than that I can't see any new ways to iv nest in Crypto right now.
what is the cause, why do many 2018 ICO fail ?? this greatly affects the confidence in the digital world and the price of altcoin is down.
Actually, there were plenty of ICOs that succeed in reaching their funding goals, and turned their investors a profit in 2018. That being said, the vast majority of them did not and spoiled the overall scene for everybody.
Personally I believe we will continue to see ICOs gaining popularity until somewhere around 2020, hopefully, we see some regulations come in before then that as the number of scam ICOs, or at least ICOs with scammy content is dangerously high.
Besides ICOs however, there will likely be several variant fund raising mechanisms appearing, such as IAOs (Initial Asset Offerings) and Security ICOs that actually offer a slice of the company for your investment. I know a lot of ICOs are switching over to a part equity funding model in order to attract investment from venture capital, but as far as I'm aware this is still quite a limited practice as everybody is still trying to skirt regulations.

Yes,really the 2018 in crypto investment was very bearish,most crypto projects could not perform well as expected, however we should create a situation in our next move to allow only valid projects in the crypto investment market.
I think this year's ICO is not a failure. This year. People's awareness of investing in ICO has increased a lot. Now there is a consensus to invest in valuable ICO projects. In addition. This year's new STO investment mode can be concerned about.
We all know that investing means like gambling, so our money is at risk here. ICO are undeveloped project and if a market like this will continue till 2019 then they will be having a hard time finding investors to support their project. I will suggest that you buy stable and recognize coins and wait for the market to stabilize.
The prices of the top coins such as BTC, ETH, and XRP are very low right now. But these coins are fundamentally significant in terms of their functionality and technology meaning to say they have a great future ahead. So, with ICO failed this year, why not invest in these coins or other coins of your preferences. Then hold them until next year. They'll surely rise earliest next year.

Yes I was investing in ico's and realise that it's not giving profit as expected. So i moved on to trading coins and getting some profit too, I bought NPXS coin which is giving 7.33% of coins you hold every month so it was good for me. 
I would not say that it is a failure year for ICOs. Yes, a lot project closed down. But still there is a future for blockchain projects. We are just in downtrend economic cycle at the moment, that also includes crypto market. Investment projects can behave that way, and it does not only apply to crypto market, it generally applies to all types of investments.
Yes its true that in this year 2018 A lot of new ICO did not received their soft cap and hard cap and closed. But it's doest means that the concept of ICO is failed. It's just make people more aware about ICO because may ICO who have strong team also got successful . So it have a great potential in upcoming days..
not all ICO are failed in 2018. They still have chance and they offer the interesting projects. Although almost all coins or tokens have very low price after they are ready on the market, it is too early to say that they are failed. They just need more times to wait for the next bull run.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
Problems of ICOs are coming directly from the market situation. When market trend will change all projects also will start to grow. Certainly it is only a matter of time.
Also an important step in the development of the ICO will be its legal regulation that in the case of scam, their authors are automatically prosecuted by officials.

Take all of your monet and put all of them into USDT. If you don't wanna take the risk and how can you get the benefit from your investment. Even if you are buying real stock company and then it gets bankrupt and then you will lost all of your money dude, it's about how you can afford to lost your money. That's the main point right now.
not all ico failed in 2018, this is only part of the effect of the decline in market prices in the entire crypto industry. this pressure actually becomes a selection, showing what ico projects are able to survive, who truly carry out their vision and mission according to plan. there is no definite security guarantee in any form of investment. all possible risks remain, which is able to minimize this is the individual itself. how much knowledge they analyze and choose the best ico project.
No one can guarantee any investment and every investment always has a chance of failure or loss. remember, when crypto first appeared, did ico exist? I don't think so.
Now is the time for us to always focus on improving our ability to analyze or research to always have the best investment and minimize risk.

The next move that made everything positive was the pumping of the Crypto market. When market capitalization is strong, many investors are profitable after being injected, which also impacts on ICO projects. This is because investors are getting their money back and they are going to invest in projects to make a big profit.
i think its because many rumor and bad news hit crypto world, so the impact was bear market on all along this year, but im still sure, bull run will come at the end of this year.
As we seen this year is so bear for almost all ICOs, what will be the next move to garantuee a safe and sustainability investment in the crypto world?
There is not only one entrance - ICOs investment but also other ways for coming to crypto world. Almost, indeed all investment always have a risk so if you would like to be safe, just keep your money in pocket.
In this market situation, perhaps bitcoin is the best choice, sustained and least risky.
That's a high expectation on your part for calling 2018 ICOs failure. We know that bear market season is always there and it is part of the system of cryptocurrency. Just because you didn't get profit means the 2018 is a failed year and nothing happened that benefited us. You look only on one tree but not the whole forest. Have you seen that many ICOs such as EOS, TRX, Vechain had their maiinet move on their own. What is it? not a great development? I think there are some stuff that happened good on the market aside from the loss of big market cap.
I think that there many ICO's that are not totally successful in the crypto market but there were also successful ICO's within this year in which those who had invested really had earned profit from it. I believe that because of the long bearish market, many ICO's were not able to make it and perhaps were not able to meet the soft cap being targeted. Never stop your goal if you fail as there will be time for you to succeed someday by just doing the right thing like doing a research about the plan ICO and study everything you wish to learn more about the ICO before you make an investment. With this, I think your goal of having a successful ICO will come soon.
I'd not call 2018 a failed year for ICO rather call it a realization of the importance of ICOs.
There are ICO this year that raised over 20 million and many reaching their targets.
Unlike 2017 investors surely were selective when investing in an ICO as they realised not every of them would yield them a profit and lot of them were just scams.
