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]
Is this just smoke and mirrors or does this forum know something researchers do not?

We barely see ICO nowadays and for me, we should take the blame to all the scammers. Investors started losing hope when scams started to dessiminate everywhere and we cannot really be certain that there's still a possibility that the trust will come back again for the ICOs. Many people switched to IEO recently and one of the main reason was because of the faster achievement of the softcap compared to ICO. We cannot force them to be patient always, maybe they have exceeded the limit of patient they have that's why they stopped patronizing ICOs.

Yeah, your graph is something correct but i do not think still now ICO's failed ratio is going zero or something like that. But in these current market ICO projects are very rare even some few ongoing but those are almost dead because they can't collect enough fund to build up their projects. But most provably in this year ICO's will be totally dead. IEO is also going something slowly but most of the projects IEO with shit or small exchanges.

I have seen that most ICO now is really failed, most of the successful project came from the IEO or from those project who has private investor or has self funding. Most ICO in this year are ignored that even bounty hunters doesn't want to join their campaign, so I think ICO ration will become zero at all and will vanish 'till they will come up for some rules and regulations regarding it.

Maybe the ideas or innovations of a project have already ceased to exist, that's why ICO is currently almost 100% non-existent. that is in my opinion manipulating the previous project idea so that today we usually call it a scammer. I think the ICO trend can return to its peak, if we can take the trust of an investor again. very sad to see the graph that was made by the OP, even though investing in the ICO project was very profitable in its time.

Very sad that it would far from reality to gather back investors interest, with how those many scam projects push them away the chance is too little.
We can't blame those who lose a lots of investment during the peak time of those scam projects, millions of dollars are being runaway. Developers needs to bring up something that will be unique and interesting in order to have new investors to join inside this types of industry.

Let's accept the fact that ICO is now dead, its sad reality as this an easy way for legit project to raised fund, but this was easy way for scammers to collect fund at their own interest too, so it is better that ICO will be gone forever, and IEO is now rising , so it is more legit and can be trusted, we just need to choose the right team, platform, mission, vision so we will know if feasible or not.

in my view of ICO or IEO projects so far this year has declined, we see because of the lack of investor interest and a lack of new confidence in their projects, I think it needs a better change in the future

share only a few ideas, one thing to note about the bounties they are holding is too old-fashioned without any fresh ideas in their promotions plus less strict regulations, this little thing also needs to be improved so that the funds spent on the work of bounty hunters can get results that are also good for ICO projects

ICO is not really dead but just needs a change in the future let alone the ICO done on their site it can make people lose their money so it needs to be replaced with IEO to be safer, at least waiting for the market to recover like 2015-2017, so I think need changes that should be done before 2020 - 2021 later

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.

You really sure about this brother, because all I still see as new projects are still many of these projects that have no idea of what they are doing, and they only want to create a coin that they can use for speculation alone.

I have not seen any idea that a project wants to come up with that is not already existing amongst the other top coins, and I think any project that we will be seeing now should just be some of the duplicates of these already existing project, so sorry, I am still not very much impressed with some projects that I am seeing except some very few ones that I have participated in which I had to do a very thorough investigation and research on them before I could get them out which I am still not completely sure of them too until further notice.

Actually they have many idea but they dont know how to really do it. ICO are not failed because of not enough funds. they have funds but no experience how to make thier goals into reality. Thats the strugle of many ICO project thats why more of them failed.

I think ICO not yet really died yet, there are still new projects popping up even though not as much as before but ICO reputation is already very bad in the eyes of investors it is difficult to be able to get large funds, now investors prefer IEO because IEO projects generate a lot of profit for them

ICO don't die but 95% of current ICO projects are scam projects so it is best to stay away from this investment in the near future. People tend to invest more in IEO now because this investment can ensure their liquid and not take too long to wait. In fact, in 2019, there were many great successful IEO projects and most appeared at the leading exchanges in this market.

I believe that in the next few years IEO will still be a good investment choice because people have a lot of great faith in joining IEO so it will be very good for our profits.

Why so many people are still asking about ICO's ? Why are still people interesting about ICO's ? We already have Bitcoin, there will never be another Bitcoin ( no matter what they promise in ICO's whitepaper ). Besides this we have so many strong altcoins with working products , top tier devs, awesome marketing strategy and so on. Angel investors and investors got tired of false promises from ICO's so they simply moved away to find already launched working projects that don't have the necessary capital but they're still active and working as from there it can come the big income they're looking for and ICO's were left with only price speculators , this is why they're going near the point of extinct.

I agree that there is no new project that will be able to replace bitcoin. But ICO for investors is needed as an alternative investment and also a tool to speculate so that bitcoin can be profitable. ICO has faded its appeal after the new project chose the path of IEO and I think IEO is good for protecting investor funds

What happens on this forum is a true refection of what will be happening out there. ICOs at this time will no longer get any promoter and if investors get to know about it, they will feel reluctant to invest it it,, because most of them do not feel safe with it.

IEO provides better guarantees, especially those done in trusted global exchanges. Of course, this goes back to the respective projects, but investor confidence will be easier to obtain through IEO after a long time the market conditions are less conducive and the number of frauds causes ICO to be less desirable.

People have lost millions of dollars on ICOS, I think they are living out their last days because no one else will invest in them because of a bad reputation.

And this also happening with IEO too caused by the crap exchange site has been giving an easy way for the scammer to listing their token to the IEO. ICO is dead and it looks like we will get another new trend again because of IEO crisis. Honestly, so many crap exchange sites these days are hurting the crypto market to be an unhealthy ecosystem.
Investors have already lost their confidence and they will never comeback again.

I am not sure that ICO will be able to raise the same interest again as before. Good projects still have not gone away, but they have become more difficult to develop. Investors are in no hurry to invest and it seems to me that nothing will force them to invest in ICO again.

It's because IEO replaced ICO. I think ICO never rise again. Now it's IEO time. Also IEO more profitable then ICO for investors.

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.

for now, almost all investors have known that problem, because of this, to date, most projects have come up in the form of selling IEO because investors think that IEO is safer than ICO. In fact, until now, the projects that carried out the ICO system have greatly reduced. Little by little, the ICO disappeared, even last month, ICO was also not so much. Because of this, at the moment I think ICO will soon be replaced by IEO.
