Sadly, that's how it is nowadays. People's only concern now is when the token/coin hits the exchange.
They don't really want to know what the development of the project or whatsoever, they only want something profitable. Who doesn't, right?
With how many scammed ICOs, they're kinda scared that if the project doesn't come to an exchange sooner, then the project will be considered a scammed one.
And it's also in their roadmap, about when it goes to exchange and all, but if it's out of schedule, then people started to questioning them.

It doesn't make sense when a project successfully raise fund and refuse to list on exchange, it can't be trusted, the only projects that wait that long are those who failed to meet their target, they surely will find it hard to proceed with development
November 03, 2019, 09:45:42 AM
I mean there is no sense for the update if the coin/tokens is not tradeable it will not create hype .
This was the first thing I thought when I read the op.I'm not a bounty hunter and don't follow all the ico projects that have cropped up in the past few years, so I wasn't aware that *any* of them were doing what op described. Not getting a token listed on an exchange seems like a perplexing move at best and something scammy at worst. Are bounty hunters getting paid in tokens that don't get listed for a long time or what? If that's the case it would be yet another slap in their faces by the project devs.
Can't think of a good reason why a project wouldn't try to get their token listed. 'Working on the technology' sounds like an excuse, because no team has to do choose between doing one or the other, and it isn't like there aren't exchanges out there that wouldn't leap at the chance to list a new token. Maybe they don't want to see how badly the token is going to perform on the market? I think by delaying listing it only delays the inevitable selling wave that's going to happen once it does get listed.
I don't know, this sort of practice seems very shady to me.

This is the reality nowadays, but I don't know if you agree or not.
As what I have observed since last year, lots of ICO investors are more excited and making some noise when a crypto startup announced that they will be listed in some exchanges.
I have browsed a lot of Telegram groups coming from various ICOs, IEOs and other forms of token sales. When they announce their partnership with a "XXX" company or they have launched their v2.0 of their product, it seems that the community are kind of less impressed and not excited about that.
Last year, there's an ICO where until now, they haven't listed in an exchange as they focused more on product development. It's like almost 2 years and they haven't listed their token yet in exchanges but they only give us a quarterly report on what they're doing with the product. It results for most investors to become impatient and demand their money back or getting listed to exchanges at least.
This is what I've been observing for now, the behavior of most investors who are expecting their returns or gains after the ICO is complete. What do you say guys? Agree with this or not?
Maybe if everything balanced, any problem can be avoided. Because for me, maybe 2 years is very long time if no listed in exchange, and usually a lot of investor already tired to wait. And about what happen recently if investor only ask to listed in exchange, i think maybe 1-2 exchange first as long developers keep update with the project will be good. For now after listed, usually developer look not really care anymore.

Well what is the point of all going hard work when they wouldn't be in any of the exchange. They got excited because they got motivated with such announcement. To think of it they are already half way of becoming successful. I may be not part of it but I will be happy as well. In addition rest assured that they will be working harder after that.
November 03, 2019, 09:39:22 AM
because they want to get tangible benefits like when their ico project has been completed and tokens can be traded in exchange, on the other hand there are a lot of good ico projects but the product doesn't work well.
November 03, 2019, 09:34:39 AM
Because they are excited to earn than to use whatever products the projects are offering or launching. They invest in ICOs that have the most potential to give them profit rather than on the ICOs that would offer the best product. It is very obvious why. They invest to earn. And once they earn enough profit from their investment, they will leave the project just like that.
November 03, 2019, 09:28:40 AM
the effect of many ICO's is a scam. investors no longer trust ICO. besides that the ICO which lasts for 2018 is only for pumps and dumps. so that many Investors are only eager to register. they don't care about the growth of the project, as long as they can sell and profit, investors will do that, and look for a new ICO / IEO. There is no original product or idea that can impress investors and hold their coins. on the other hand it is the effect after market listing. because 90% ICO is having prices fall after listing.

You can't blame them it's on the roadmap that they are going to get it in exchanges, some even promised top exchanges, no investors will invest in a project where their money is sleeping for months, they want to see the potential of the coin in the market, they want to know if they are right in investing and they want to know if the dev is honest and true to their words that they will see the coin in the market as soon as possible, products and exchanges are two elements that investors wants to see.

There was a project that I've moderated before that is similar with this. Since it's an erc-20, some hunter listed it on etherdelta (and I think even forkdelta) but it hasn't been officially listed by the team yet. In this particular group, there are only a handful of ICO investors who complains about listing and asking for refund, contrary to the claim that most investors aren't interested with product development.
November 03, 2019, 08:39:28 AM
You've got to understand that most investors you see complaining and publicly demanding their money back are retail investors which typically invest based on good publicity in front of them or FOMO. They forget that they are not trading, but investing. Investing is usually on long term & investing in a start-up is similar to a start-up. The product can be successful or not depending on the management and developers and the market of course.
So in my view people who complain about their investments in ICO are mostly newbies that are looking fot a fast buck.

generally its not only about investor. but in this case, i think rhe investor divide in two type: 1. investor that actually want to profit in short time (immediately after listed on exchange), and sell his asset. but this investor also act angry and crazy when the price not expected what they want. especially when below ico price. 
2. investor believer. this type is they invest that actually want to support the project, involved, waiting final product, etc.

Yes they prefer to have an exchange immediately but it is not because they do not want development. Maybe they want to have it right away because they are afraid it will be a scam and they will not be able to sell their purchased token right away. And another one also of biggest fears of investors is that bounty hunters are also hurting the value of the token, as it is sold on decentralized exchanges for less than the original price.

Majority who invest their money in these ICO wants to earn the profit as soon as they get listed in exchanges and majority dump the coin when they get the desired profit.

What kind of project takes two years to develop and list the tokens in exchanges, everyone will loose their patience if they invested their money and to wait for two years without any result is not the way they wanted and hence people will be demanding the investment to be returned.I've seen a lot demanding their money back in telegram when the team are delaying everything. Investors wants profit and if possible in a short period of time, if they can't provide a milestone in their roadmap while the token isn't in the market investors might as well just get a refund. There are some who really believes to the team that even when the team only adds their token a a single exchange they still trade with it.

I personally also have the same opinion with you, that indeed most investors invest to be able to get a quick return of the money they have invested so they do not care too much about the product and the development of the project. Investors do not care too much and are impatient because they only want a greater return than the amount of money they have invested, even though it requires a process so that all can be equally benefited, both the team behind the project and the investors who provide funds to develop the project.As what I have observed since last year, lots of ICO investors are more excited and making some noise when a crypto startup announced that they will be listed in some exchanges.

I agree with your point above that right now we are talking about facts. most project investors and project promoters (prize hunters) prefer exchanges, where the project token is already listed on the exchange after the project is completed. so don't get bored or wait too long to trade their tokens, if the tokens already have their own exchanges.

Most of the investors in crypto are the ones that came seeking quick profit. There are several investments that could yield profit but with the last bull run, investors got an idea that crypto would yield a massive profit in just short amount of time, buy low in ICO and sell high when it gets listed. Such thinking are still prevalent.
November 03, 2019, 08:04:03 AM
Agree, investors only want to get a return on their investment, the sooner the better. Then why did the project keep them from exchange for more than 2 years? Do they not have enough money to list or are they unfit or? What did they promise? Most of it becomes bullshit.
