Topic: Do holidays affect the outcome of the launched ICO? (Read 293 times)

I don't think that holidays have any major impact on ICOs. What DOES have an impact is the fact that there are too many projects running an ICO right now which makes it difficult for people to check them all - and I guess this is the reason why ICOs get prolonged now, to give to the investors more time to find them.

Lot of peopl sitting at home in front of their computers and scrolling through the forum. They spend much more time on that forum and yes they're more likely to buy some tokens and go on more active on the trades. My point of view.

I think it does have an impact, not just in people less likely to invest because they are busy, but also you have to take into consideration that maybe ETH goes down as well.

I would just avoid running an ICO round the time of a big holiday.

I see that many companies are moving their ICO, because they do not get enough money from investors. This holidays affect the bad fundraising or projects are really fraudulent.
Will they collect the right amount after the holidays? How you think
         

people even can invest more during the holidays if they are going to pay by cryptocoins. Because they have more free time to spend on internet and they can search more about icos. So i dont think they will collect more after holidays.

I dont think it matters too much if they ICO launches pre holidays, it's all based on the investor himself if he wants to invest or not, and how much they are willing to invest.

I would just avoid holidays all together if possible.

People are only considering the ICO, but what about the boarder context? Maybe ETH price drops or increases, never mind if people are not looking into more ICOs. If you can't avoid it, then just deal with it, but I would try to hold the ICO in a month that doesn't have too many big holidays.

If the project really has value, then the vacation will not prevent the collection of the required amount. Successful campaigns collected the necessary amounts for 2 weeks. IMHO

I think not. It is how the investors and the bounties will approach the ico. More campaigns, more chances that the ico will be notice by the people.

I think they would have an impact I just don't know which way it would go.

I would just avoid it as much as possible, it is hard enough to judge the crypto market prices of ETH / bitcoin without having to think about holidays. it would also depend on where most of your investments are coming from (Russians don't celebrate Christmas, but have more time off after New Years for example.)

I think they have a small impact, if you can avoid launching an ICO around this time of year. I think this time of year impacts all industries of course sometimes in positive ways rather than negative.

I do think it has an affect also this time of year I imagine isn't the best for investments anyways.

You can't control the market and how the prices change, but you can choose a time where there is no holidays, so make it easier to be more successful. No need to make it harder!

Its completely depend on the project lots of projects still running their ICO some are postponed Main reason is bitcoin price correction another people are taking holidays after years of effort . After January second there should be some business starts.

Some icos have extended the period throughout Christmas and into Q1 of 2018. This will ensure that investors will have picked up the long awaited January pay check and have some money to invest in an ICO. Hopefully that ICO will help to recover their finances from the xmas overspend Grin

Yeah, I think many people are not up to ICOs. They drink, have fun, spend the time with their family and friends

The main thing that affects them is the market-wide price swings, like the late summer one and maybe also the one this week. Holidays might have an effect, but not so much as the dramatic crypto price movements.

I dont really know what happen to most people with their holiday. I think the holiday like now christmas and new year are big event then it can affect to ico project crowdsale. Maybe they will get less money in ico period.
I think better for them to do ico not in holiday.

Investors will use their money in holidays so yes it will affect the ICOs.

This issue is really going on very well, and the cause is really clear. ICO is booming, many ICOs are developed only in a short time, can say, this is the era of ICO. Too many projects have been created, but the number of investors is negligible, so the projects that are not attractive enough will not receive the investment from the investors.

I think they would have a small part to play, I would advise to avoid them if possible.
