I do not agree with you. Every day more and more interesting and promising appear. In the current market, even old coins are falling dramatically in price. It is even harder for a young project to resist a bear market, but I think young and high-quality projects have a good future.

not all ICO coins are rubbish, Ethereum is one of the most successful ICO coins, I agree now that many ICO coins that only aim to get funds from investors are no longer the development of blockchain technology, but that does not mean that all ICOs are fraud, now we must analyze before investing into in the ICO project regarding Roadmap and whitepapper.

Some projects have made free offers in the past in form of airdrops and they never sold anything before lunching on exchange,
They did the funding by themselves, since the inception of the project. I just feel that such can continue happening.
Some projects are now trying to get the backings of law in order to gain more trust and recognition.

It may not be an absolute truth that all ICOs are scams (given the facts that most are).There may be some projects that deserve public funding.It should be noted that things were invariably going to fail under a stiff and long bear market

Yes, but I think that this is only for the best, since if the coins were immediately transferred to large exchanges, it would be bad for coins that were first placed on the exchange, everything should happen gradually

even more than 80%, there are only a few that really give good coin investors in exchange for their money and the rest are fraudsters who just want to earn money quickly by using the name crypto and blockchain then dirtying it and leaving just like that
and people like that make ICO even more doubtful

If you are the person who believe in crypto technology for future investment, you will not say that thing. You may think that all ICOs are trash. But the fact, you cannot see the deep meaning of ICO. It is not only for today market, but the good technology if the ICO will be very valuable for the future. This is what you cannot thing, you may only think the recent price and market occurrence, not for future investment.

The bitter part is, yes, 80% of ICOs are a scam! Some ICO scammed after a successful sale, some scammed after a few months, but overall 80-90% of ICOs are a scam! But still, some percentages of ICOs are good and they will live. Personally, I will not invest in an ICO, rather I like to invest now in a regulated STO! Because from 2018 to now, most of the ICOs are a scam, they are total trash!

Maybe there is a small percentage of ICO that really do have some real usage in life. But I would agree that the market has been overrun by scammers since the boom in 2017.

It's just so easy for those criminals to create a project, but a eye catching title to it, copy someone's whitepaper and then get photo online. But this community as of late has contributed a lot of calling fake and scammy projects from the very beginning, so at least they could be stop before they can collect funds from unsuspecting victims.

That's right, from the middle of last year some ICOs that I have participated in made me frussive, some were not paid, the manager had no news, even they deliberately did it with no deterrence. So that is my decision for now that I am riatus towards the upcoming ICO.

I wouldn't go as far as saying all ICOs are trash. There are a few out there worth looking at... However, I get your point, so many projects out there are giving the ICO space a bad name with their shitty and laughable projects designed with the sole purpose of defrauding innocent investors. They offer absolutely nothing and have poor developments and roadmaps making it extremely difficult for people to look pass the flaws. This has not only led to sad tales, it has meant that the public has lost faith in any ICO and hence, label them as trash.

I have already used 3 ICO-funded products, in addition to making decent $ from ICO-s.
Being bad at research is OP-s fault, not the fault of hard-working ICO-ers who accomplish things.
Of course, scammers should be called out, but generalizing is always silly and unproductive, not to mention - wrong.

This is wrong to me unless you provide a statistical proof to back this up
Not all icos are fake, we have docademic doubts exploits and also bobs repair developing their product

In cmc top 200, there are a lot of ico projects there as well
What other proof ?

Of course, you are wrong. Not all ICO project failed or were scam. Maybe you lost a lot of coins in bad projects and that's why you think so.

I wouldn't say all of them, maybe 10% of ICOs are actual legitimate projects that offer innovative stuff to the crypto sphere, and the rest are nothing but garbage. Good thing that the hype ahs died down and people are way more cautious when investing in ICOs, unlike 2017 where everyone was pouring money at the first ICO they saw.

At least some countries like Japan, South Korea, France, and even USA, have started to (or are planning to) implement regulations on ICOs to protect investors, so hopefully, things will change in the future and scams icos will finally dissapear completely from the market.
10% of them are legitimate? Do we actually need those 10% ICO? Do we even need ICOs?
I know those 10% of the ICOs are getting a bad name because of the other 90% scammy ICOs, but there is nothing much we can do. All we can try is to avoid those ICOs. Countries that have started to regulated ICOs and put strict policies over them know the dangers of letting ICOs run free.
And yeah, don't expect those scammy ICOs to disappear forever. They will come back in one way or another.

I tried to reason in a particular perspective. Immediately project CEOs are developers started raising money through ICOs, it was then that i perceived that scammers also started thinking of using that means to siphon money from nvestors, because they knew it would work, by playing om their intelligence.
If everyone, CEOs and developers alike cna have the same mindset as Satoshi himself, the crypto space would have been the best place to be.
Not all altcoins are trash, but most are just useless and have no definitive usecase.

I would not say that all of them are trash, there have been serious and succesful projects too and we see many ivos delivering and maintaining quality projects i know many are discouraged by useless or scam projects but if it is about the price of the project token then one of the mist important factor to blame is the longest bear trend of the market.

I think not all maybe 5% of all ico can still be trusted. so instead of debate about this, we better observe a good project. although a little but we can see that there were some good projects last year that still survive today, one of them is Pundix, ODM, ETN and others. so don't think all the ico projects are shit.
