In the last 9 months there has been multitudes of ICOs a few have been great projects but a large percentage of them have not lived up to the billing, rewind to 2 years ago, there were 2 or 3 ICOs a quarter and most of those exist within the top 100 tokens today, even projects that raised minimal sums two years ago are still active projects today, the likes of Stratis raised equivalent of $600K for their ICO. Is it a concern that we now have hundred of ICOs daily looking to raise tens of million and we haven't in the last year seen most of these ICOs become truly commercially adopted.
When we do compare those projects who had done ico on past 2 years and to this recent day we can really see the difference when it comes to numbers and the percentage of project that do succeed.
I do prefer back into those years where projects are still worth to invest on unlike now that almost everyday theres new project in the market that do need funding. Ive remembered too on how much of those projects before accumulate money which doesnt involved millions of dollars unlike now where accumulating even hundreds but still end up into a shitty project later on.

ICO is a trend since last year however not all of them continue with the project after raising enough funds or dumps after listing. Currently,  I agree that investing to an ICO is not a smart move as I can see a lot of them not meeting the target and I see a lot of scam. It is like 1 out of 100 will be successful that's why I'll be more careful in investing to it moving forward.

It should be a big concern if you invest in them without any research. The normal logic would be the following: You launch an ICO when you need money to build a project. And you don't launch an ICO to raise money and then we will see what to do with it. There is a huge difference between the first and the second reason. If you take a look at the current ICOs most of them want to raise money without any clear idea what to do with it. So most of the newer ICOs are just a disaster waiting to happen without clear vision and clear plan for the future.

in my opinion there may be influence because the current market price is down a lot of ico whose price is far down from ico price and if want to invest in ico should be careful and ready to handle any risks that will happen.

If only people won't patronize new ICOs, then there will be lesser and lesser ICOs popping up each day. Why not let's just support our successful ICOs so we could see the real uses of crypto in our daily lives? For me, why are there still no REAL USES of crypto is that we forget to focus on those successful and good ones instead we focus our attention on looking for the latest ICO which in fact most concepts are copied from previous projects.

And it give credence to the need of a good level of governance or reg. not regulations that stifle the technology but that ensures that participants in the sector are doing so with much credibility

It won’t be a problem when all those ICO is created to expand the cryptocurrency and implement it to help in the development of every sectors of our technological advances. You’re concerns is as good as mine when it comes to scammy projects by same persons who definitely abusing and dragging the ICO name into mud and take the cryptocurrency industry into a doubtful situation.
This is the problem I am worried about. A large number of ICO projects have fraudulent behaviors.
And the SEC is currently restricting fraudulent ICO programs.

It is a concern for the investors.
A resent study suggest over 50% of ICOs go dead within 4 months of the token sale.
It signifies how much scam and senseless projects are going through ICO risking the investor's money as well their own life.
Some are started with a run away strategy while some are less planned and studied projects from rookies that fails to deliver.

I think ICO is not a good choice at present, because there are too many ICO projects, so most of the time these projects are just hype.
Many ICO projects have fallen below the issuing price, which is a terrible thing.

There is no shortage of idiots in the crypto world that are all too willing to throw their money away at ridiculous "get-rich-quick" schemes and ponzis. As long as there are idiots, there will continue to be huge numbers of ICOs to scam these idiots.
