Smoke and mirrors my friend... I think this is just the last scammers giving it a try... the whole market has already moved to IEO...
Why would people still invest in something with a much higher risk than IEO? Not that IEO is perfect as it still has it's risks, but is way much better than ICO... so....

The issue of ICO and IEO has not been finishing since the beginning of this year. What does that matter? both have the same risks: the possibility of scam. If you already trust the project and the team, the sales will be suitable for the project itself. While this is only a small factor, why should it be so magnified? Sales is the last step, there are more steps up to that, pay attention to the previous ones.

ICO and IEO are almost the same, save for the platform used for the coin offering. IEO is basically another way of coin offering just like ICO. It is just that it is being offered in an exchange. What investors should be looking into is not the way the coin is being offered but the project details itself. Whether a project is offered in an ICO or IEO does not count much. What counts is that it is offering a new idea and that they have a great product that is practical to as many people as possible.

They have similarities but they are totally different.
Unlike in ICO's where scammers are actually increased their numbers and they totally doomed everything about this coin offering, becoming the reason for investors to avoid ICO and do something better.
We can consider IEO to be safe as of now, they become more successful compared to ICO. The way how IEO's run is totally different because it is using some popular exchange to run their coin offering.

What I see happening is that those with shabby ideas or blockchain technology knowledge are now out and the the few that have the real knowledge of how things work are the ones coming up with projects now.

until now I still see a project with ICO. the level of success depends on how the project is in developing and promoting. many are bad and then die, and very few are truly successful and running. especially now that there is IEO that might be better even though it has not been a solution for the many fraud projects.

I think investors do not trust ICO because there are many scamming cases carried out by the ICO project team, so they choose to invest in coins that will be listed on the exchange (IEO) or those that have been registered in exchanges such as binance.

IEO investment is also not arbitrary. people choose projects carelessly. The main point before choosing the IEO project is to choose a Stock that has a reputation and also a large enough trust. because this is very influential with the level of success. you can see exchanges that do not have a certain reputation are also difficult in funding. and the average clarity of the project after listing is not clear

And you wonder? ICOs made a lot of harm in the market, they weren´t able to achive goals in 99% cases.
Maybe a few IEOs will keep up, but really don't expect a boom like in 2017 Cry

. You can thank the greedy peolpe.

Ico's already lost on the track, it is now been avoided by many investors and including bounty hunters. Most bounty hunters are now participating in IEO or do trading than waste their precious time in ICO which may end up being a scam.

Projects that are doing ICO nowadays are very likely to fail to raise enough funds, because of the lack of investors interest. Unfortunately, investors are more interested in fast profits, thats why they are all taking part in IEOs on big exchanges.

It is because investors become more cautious and they don't immediately invest in random projects. ICO's are unable to raise enough funds to allocate in bounty campaigns and to fund the project itself.

But here on BitcoinTalk we see new [ANN] threads and [BOUNTIES]
Is this just smoke and mirrors or does this forum know something researchers do not?

The ICO market is really terrible right now, there are little to no investors and even the ICO market is not faring any better, you are seeing ANN threads and Bounties mostly because many of these projects are self funded and additionally, there are still hopefuls that are hoping to still launch their ICO and raise funds but most of the projects sticking around right now are those that maybe already launched but wasted too much time before conducting ICO and are just waiting to see if the ICO market would get better so they can hold their tokensale.

ICO's popularity has dropped due to the scam, Many have made a profit in 2017 due to strong ICO demand. And in 2018 it slowed slightly with Bitcoin's gradual price decline. And this year it has become even weaker because of the IEO.

What is IEO?
IEO is Initial Exchange Offering where the holder is the exchanger. So the coins or tokens are very trustworthy in this way as they will surely list a coin / token immediately if the campaign project is successful.

ICO does not die, it just loses competing with this IEO. IEO gives a decent profit compared to ICOS. The ICO is to giving a big discount bonus, making later on the exchange will experience a significant decline. ICO may return if the arrangement is efficient.

I don't think it is the ICO to blame. An ICO is neutral just like a knife. A knife is not a bad thing but someone can choose to stab and kill another person but does that make the knife bad? No the knife remains neutral.
The intention of the person who is holding the knife is the question at hand and the exact same thing goes with ICO. You cannot say ICO is a bad thing just because scammers take advantage. Scammers take advantage of social media too and is that bad? They will take advantage of anything they can and the newer it is the easier it is since less people are experienced and so scamming is easier.

It is ultimately up to people to stop being scammed and giving in to greed and other thoughts.

There are still some ICOs that are collecting money in a traditional way, but in general IEOs have fully replaced them. It is much more profitable to buy tokens on Binance or Huobi rather than to take part in different ICOs.

Even after the onset of the bear market in January 2018, ICOs were still happening at a rate
of well over a hundred each month, but by 2019 the flow of projects had dwindled to almost nothing.

ICO PROCEEDS DROP TO $338M..

According to figures from cryptocurrency analytics firm LongHash and published on October 1,
ICOs are no longer profitable. They may even disappear completely in 2020, said researchers.

But here on BitcoinTalk we see new [ANN] threads and [BOUNTIES]

There is a big chance that they will likely to disappear as ICO's have been overtaken by IEO's. Though we are still in bear season so we cannot guarantee yet that ICO's will not be alive again once we will step in the peak season.

But base in your graph, the ICO's are almost fading this year and this was because either they are out of ideas on what to launch or they are waiting for the right time to launch their projects like in peak season.

Yes, ICOs are dead. Replaced by STOs and IEOs. The sheer number of ICO scams in 2018 tells the story. The method could have worked if they weren't so many scammers.

But it seems that even though replaced by IEO or STO, it seems that people are not very interested anymore in investing in these two methods. can be seen in the last 2 months there was no information that IEO was a big success and instead many IEOs were detected as fraud

ICO is dead, there is no hope for new projects that want to raise development funds from ICO. but the good news is that there is now a new, better way, IEO. IEO provides new opportunities for projects and investors who are serious about developing blockchain. many large exchanges routinely release lunchpads and when viewed these projects are always successful and all tokens are sold out during IEO.
