This was bound to happen, as more and more people noticed that whatever they touched in 2017 turned to gold the projects that are gold are going to be harder to find -- as the people making these ICO's also know that the market is hot, and easy to scam. So if anyone tosses up an ICO right now they're going to get a massive amount of money, with no issue at all.
Project quality degrades as the amount of money available (without any sort of protection for the sender) drastically increases. So yeah, most of these ICO's are shit. Though you can still find a diamond in the rough.
Topic: ICOs in 2018 not same as 2017. - page 61. (Read 6980 times)
We all know that in 2017 there are lots of ICO launch in crypto and some of them are not existed right now and other has strong value. For this year there are some ICO relaunch for the update or enhancement of their project but i would like to tell to all Investors that be careful on engaging in ICO because there are lots of scam project exist like legit ICO.
We know that ICO coin will be dumped at their first release to the market.You suggest to buy on the dip after dumping,but most coin will stay in that price and not likely to recover.It depends on the people support on that coin to make the price rise again,so find some ICO that has high rate for succeed.
A lot of money goes out from ICO the wave number 2 of ico is finished that is no point to invest in ICO now , because its finished now , we need wait repeat of 2017 year and will start new 3rd big wave of ICO !
Timing is crucial for ICO to success as well, like currently no coins want be get listed that soon as market force would dump their investor to get into dips, seriously ICO had already overloaded, all companies treat it as a mean of funding like usual companies do and basically the game of manipulator goes on, ICO in 2018 has more and more powerful companied backed up projects, but they are getting more sophisticated to trick investor with bonuses and fancy stuff, not a good year for ICO
I have to agree with the OP, although this might not be the case for every ICO, the truth is that a lot of the fuss regarding ICO investment has dropped quite significantly, and most people buy them at discount prices in the start, and then manage to sell them for a profit when the sell ends, and those who bought last get a loss. That's why it's very important to get a good look at the project, and if you can't really decide if they are legit or not, then it's probably better to wait for them to actually deliver the product, and get listed in exchanges and see how their price develops.
Before put your investment in any of ICOs project, you learn about it's project about and roadmap. Some project has good idea with long road map so you need be patient with their price increasing. So if you sure to invest on it, just take it for long-term deal, hold it until roadmap reach the latest promotion. It will increasing it's price in the market.
I think 2018 is the time for real trader/investor that we can not simple buy and hodl coin and wait for pumping.
we should analyze the market like people do in forex.

But can we really analyse the market here talking about ico. Ico is initial coin offer and that means it is a new introduction to the crypto market. Thus, the market (crypto market) can't be analysed alongside the ico coin which will be absent at the moment of analysis because it was yet to come to the market. With this little analysis, we can see that analysing a new coin with crypto market won't really apply unlike fx that you made mention of. Every currency in Fx trade can be analyzed because they are always present and traded, the history can be looked at for analysis.
I agree you can see the difference in just the price it already evolves because in early 2017 you can buy around like 10k of that tokens with like $100 but now your $100 is just about 2000 tokens.
Everything evolves, even the ICO market. Last year there was a lot of enthusiasm and little competition, the campaigns lasted a few weeks and it was easy to collect big figures. Now there is general mistrust, the market is going through a moment of depression and there is a lot of competition.
But this is positive, because it encourages quality: only the best will survive.

At least ICOs in 2017 like xrb, icx, gvt are doing well but ICOs in 2018 are a disaster, The ones I tried this year have killed me so bad, from CPY, seth, ins, gla, titanium blockchain
this is my own opinion but it may help others.
I have found that all the ICOs i have invested in have launched at almost the ICO price but in a few days dipped below the ICO prices by half or 5X for some.
With this i have discovered its better not to invest in an ICO but wait for the launch and the DIP to buy it at the corrected prices made by market forces.
Its just too hard to tell the real or recommended value of a token in an ICO these days.
Hope this helps to the new investors thinking of ICOs

This is so true. I've been joined a lot of ICO since early 2018.
The true fact is, the price will never reach the ICO price almost 2-3 month.
this is my own opinion but it may help others.

2018 will become the year of ICO regulations by governments of different countries, especially USA and Russia, which may cause qualitative growth of new ICOs.

Investing in good ICO projects really better on pre-ico stages, and really in first 1-3 month after listing on exchanges price can be low, because bounty participants and other people, who didn’t invest but get tokens sell him. But if project really good you can get x5 x10 profit, more attention I have found that all the ICOs i have invested in have launched at almost the ICO price but in a few days dipped below the ICO prices by half or 5X for some.

The reason for serious bashing of ICO prices on various exchange is as a result of the current market condition. The Bear is raging right now and many negative news coming from all quarters as regard cryptocurrency is not helping either. ICO is still a brilliant way to invest. I will suggest you buy ICO and hold.
We may have not same fate but one thing is for sure that bitcoin will really increase in its value, so I don't worry much, what I am most worried are the people who does not see bitcoin as an opportunity for themselves. For sure they will just regret things again in the future.
You are absolutely correct.
I think this is pretty obvious for everybody who is following the markets.
The gold times of 2017 with easy x10-20 in just few weeks after the ICO are over. Now we must be much more careful. Still, finance and gambling ICO's are showing great ROI.

I have a few basic pointers for investing in ICO or to wait for exchanges...
The ones that I buy in ICO :
1. The ICO shouldn't have huge mCap, likely less than 20million or a VERY GOOD product to justify the cap.
2. The ICO shouldn't have any Airdrop or Bounty as these people usually sell cheap.
3. Long lockups for the Team tokens.
4. No Big Bonuses for early investors or Large PreSale investors.

Sure 2017 was not the same as 2018 for ICO. In 2017 there was a bull market pumping everything up. As for now we have got BTC decrease, several ICO bans and unclear perspectives of crypto advertisement.
That's make sence.
