I hope the ICO craze would just die out honestly. I'm pretty sure a huge percentage of those ICOs only exists to make money off people in the crypto-space that just invests in anything as long as it's hyped enough. I'd prefer if they'd just go back to the good 'ol airdrops method.

It's basic supply and demand, don't you think? If people are happy about it, the ICOs are going to keep on coming. Not that I'm complaining about them, but in the future we will probably see news about people losing their money to scammy ICOs.

I disagree and in fact hope they don't take off because there are tons of scams, lots of investors get hurt, and in general there are too many promises made without the follow through. Some ICOs are worth it but they are few in a basket of a lot and that isn't right if you ask me.

I see it similar. There are just too much of them, and most ICOs are really worth nothing.
A lot of small investors inevitably will lose money, and only a few will profit.
I really would not wonder if some governments would prohibit exchanges located in their country to offer ICOs for trading.

I think with time, people will become more savvy in spotting scam ICOs and governments will come up with regulations that will make it more difficult to pull off a scam ICO. I think there will be a balancing. The insane hype craze that we're seeing now will die down and we'll reach some sort of ICO equilibrium.

It was obvious that Bitconnect was a scam

By 2017, the ICO (calling for capital by issuing tokens) has a leap forward in both quality and quantity. In addition to the increase in ICO, the market also has many quality ICOs, promoting the right purpose of the form of calling this capital. Next year, the ICO's growth rate will be even faster, expected to replace traditional venture capital calling.

Actually, you are a little late on your prediction. ICOs already passed early stage VC funding in August of last year. (Search for CNBC article by Arjun Kharpalon 9 Aug 2017.)

Lmao. Lamest thing ever. ICOs will have a leap forward in quality and quantity. The latter already exists. Quality, my foot. ICOs are so so shit. It's the primary market of capital markets and its clearly not good for an investor, he had to wait for months for him to get good, go knows he might end up getting scammed also. Rather go for trades, best thing ever. Stop having fantasies about ICOs, you'll get to know about it soon.

ICO will take off I agree but most tokens cannot be an investment, buying them is even nonsense. Most are used for almost nothing but people pay a lot for them.

Tokens are a waste of Bitcoins or Ethereum. Coins are more valuable because they hold original ideas.

Yes you are right. If you look now, there is so many ICO's that give many opportunities to us,
to invest on them, to invest in cryptocurrencies with their tokens.
But unfortunately, there are some 'worst peoples' that using ICO for bad deeds.
Just be careful to not get scammed for those peoples.

Instead of investing into ICO’s I would rather buy bitcoins and other crypto currencies and save it and hope that the value will eventually rise so that I can make some really good profits. I really don’t trust these initial coin offerings at all knowing that someone can easily scam me deters me.

You commented correctly.
All business models are profit oriented. But it is good or bad because of human actions. So do not judge ICO or electronic money is bad.

Well in fact it's partially due to the government regulations that has been put on the ICO's that we are finally seeing the quality ones..
It's really something..that's aided by the fear of getting banned in some other country, since many countries are banning ICO'S because of the simple reason of it being .. fake or a scam ...now the other ICO's have powered up their value as a whole so that they can .. give a fair enough example to be accepted by the others.

I think it's not in the government, but in people. people have seen a lot of scams and are now more legible and want to see besides the idea also a good team with a demo version of the product

I'm little concern about this topic. I mean there could be chance that things may not work out for the ICO the same way it did until now. It has already made bad impression on the community and we have seen so many fraud cases during these years. ICO has become the business of capturing the funds and just showing everyone hopes that they will get good shares from it. But hold, how many times we have been winner in this field, literally ask yourself how many real product launches have been already taken place ? It's really worth thinking and then speculating anything about it.

This is a good news for cryptocurrencies. The most of ICOs are based on the Ethereum ERC20-tokens. The best of them are already being traded on the exchange markets. But it is needed to be aware of scams.

There is certain ICO's that turn to a scam, Or is a scam in the first place, just like Bitconnect did but there are so many ICO's that are really have a promising service but unfortunately if their services is not enough to satisfy their needs as a company they will sure get bankrupt if it end up not popular or certain people or investor doesn't have any interest towards them.
