I think that we will see metamorphose ICO. Initial and current form will be changed.
I think the same, because it will be difficult to forbidden something in web

This is just speculation, with no basis. If governments where to take such an action, it would begin with banning ICO's ongoing or future ones, not ones that have already occurred. That's a big IF, and is unlikely to even happen.

You have to understand, that you're dealing with technology here, there is a bigger picture than jimmy's 200 USD profit on an ICO, it's the future for a world connected to the internet, from daily goods, to industries relying on blockchain.

Companies won't have to R&D this tech, because the R&D is already occurring, and to ban it, is to stifle the future of humanity.  

This post is meaningless FUD to promote a signature campaign, this is what this forum has devolved to, spam born from greed.

This is not FUD, and in case you are not aware, the SEC has issued 80 subpoenas to crackdown on ICOs. If you think thats nothing then thats up to you. I'm sure it wont end there.

Having that said and shown, no. I am not doing this for my signature campaign. It just happened that I have one. But you cant deny the facts by questioning my character.
As long as there is a country not prohibited, these things will exist, even if it is full of scams, but as long as more than 30% is true, I think it is worth living in the cryptocurrency world, you need to have your own judgments. No judgment, you can only say that the loss should be as a lesson to buy.

Many have such a feeling, especially if we are talking about situations in which verification of investors and bounty hunters is required. Very strange seems such an action. Because so many people are refusing such a thing.

I kind of doubt this will happen but if it does, it will certainly benefit the Komodo platform with their KYC-less and fully decentralized ICOs

This will be a token apocalyptic event wherein all the government regulators around the globe will start ordering exchanges to delist ICOs because they are illegal.

If you are still holding some ICO/crowdsale/presale coins or tokens, give yourself a favor and sell them now.
Your thoughts are not based even on sound logic. First, all countries can no longer simply ban the ICO. Most likely, in the near future ICO campaigns will be regulated, and this does not mean that they will be declared illegal. Secondly, even if ICO campaigns are banned, this does not mean prohibiting tokens that were released as a result of the ICO earlier.
The ICO campaigns are still very much in demand and make a good contribution to the development and improvement of the crypto currency.

Then why until now there's no action from the government  if that's true that they are planning to Stop ico's, persales and crowdsales on this year? Hmm perhaps that news from the government is fake. Or maybe you're is trying to make panic selling through banning issue from ICO and etc .

you should give some STRONG evidence with ICO will die this year . Since Government here in our country doing their best to regulate cryptocurrency it is a good indication that crypto will last and will not die like what you are saying .

Ask yourself, but they forbid the HYIPs? Many ICO is just that!
But even among this are good and worthwhile projects that have received approval. And such projects will continue to be published! Yes you can sell now altcoyins if you have nothing to eat! Smiley

It is impossible. You are not having a basis or a proof that it might happen in the future. For me it is not going to happen, the ICO, presales and crowdsales are increasing because of the growing population in investing in every ICO.

Yes, I also have a similar view, the United States has plans to ban any ICO project to the citizens of the United States sales, unless the ICO project can through the verification of the SEC, but most of the time, most of the ICO project unable to review by the SEC.

Already do that, after get pay I'll sell it become currency. I believe currency is safer than crypto/ coin/ token because has clearly rules supported by government and have back up capital. But I'll respect people with huge faith that crypto is special and more safe than currency, it's only about opinion. Important thing is, if crypto market crush ( scam ) currency market will still stand up. Currency is better than crypto.

SEC can set and ban ico in the US, but not to outside the US. Maybe they will affect the crypto market, but not to ban it. I think they're jealous of seeing Venezuela get a lot of money from Petro  Smiley Grin

If you are from the US and just never tried to join in ICO that was a simple thing. That is the world. The majority of the icos were running outside of the US itself. Even SEC has no idea about those are running icos outside of US.

They are trying to crackdown those are running in the US.
While at the same time the majority of Canadian countries are more friendly with ico and they are trying to take the advantage by regulating it.

Did you mean US is the same as the world?   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I am not sure of your thinking because there is no solid and detailed evidence, selling all the current digital assets only makes a loss in investing, see the CMC table is in red.

Agreed with TK -

For every government that clamps down on ICOs, crypto, etc. there are 2 others that will open up their arms happy to bring new business to their country.
