Do you think the ICO is really dead?
If not, where is the market headed?

Majority of projects who held ICO's are completely just a profit scheme with no working product with a real cause. Yes, bright and wonderful ideas and really an innovative if implemented but however, some of the projects after ICO, after getting their target, won't be seen active anymore. Honestly, projects are good if they are executed properly but that's not the case. Even those hype projects that got hyped last 2017 is nowhere to be found. Meaning, they didn't have a strong foundation and only lived because of hype.

Good thing 2018 bearish market struck the market. That's the best time to see if those successful ICOs back then will survive and will remain on their promise to their investors. Unfortunately, only a few left.

ICO season is dead and most of them are scam or failed projects!
But I have seen few projects that started as ICO,
and they are working quiet in the background on some great stuff,
that can change the way we use internet everyday.

Mostly dead I say since most projects go into IEO instead of ICO. Many ICO projects are clearly scams, most of it. Most people that put their money into crypto nowadays and they won't let their money being less in value by buying ICO tokens that is why they switch to something that could benefit them like IEOs. As is if like putting money to ICOs to instant lower your assets, who could possibly like that? Of course they will stay away after the horrible experience. IEO is the new trend now and hoping that it won't be the same as ICOs.

Its hard to admit it but ICOs are really on the verge of extinction today. Since the last years breakdown, a lot of people loses their trust in it. Also including those hundreds of negative news about it which convincing people not to be an investor.

The ICOs just re-branded themselves as IEOs. But things are getting difficult for the promoters now. Earlier, they just needed to set up a website and compile a white paper after plagiarizing the old ones. But now, they should bargain for a listing with the cryptocurrency exchanges, which can cost them anywhere from $10,000 to a few million USD per listing.

They need to step forward as investors are already done following ICO's and now eyeing to invest their money to IEO's, so even there's a need for this developers to fund the listing process they don't have any options, if they wanted to continue with this business then they need to comply, most of the investors are moving to IEO's and if this two was classified differently then ICO will soon be forgotten and this new venue for investment will be the moving ahead.

Just because there are thousands of them doesn't mean its not dead, I still think its not "dead" but its dying and all those thousands of projects are made just so people could make easy money and nothing else.

It is a job offer that nobody can refuse, if I told you that you can create a coin right now and try to build it and make it one of the top 50 coins of the coinmarketcap right now and be paid 6 figures for such a job, wouldn't you take it? There are hundreds of millions of people that would take that job, hell probably over a billion people, hence having thousands of these things mean nothing, its exactly what it suppose to be, a free money method that many people try and fail.

Hopefully, there are few diamonds in the rough and they become something good but usually they are worth nothing.

This is Certainly is what happening now,ICO takes it harder to recover from those negativity and the same thing that’s whu IEO now is blooming because of the lack of trust from ICO of the investors

The offering of IEO is more secured than what ICO has(but don’t buy it as a word,make your own research as there’s are also some issues going on against IEO as well)

The ICO is not dead, and they still running their project until now. But many of the finished ICO is hard to enter the market because the situations of the market itself are not good to trade for the new projects. Maybe the developer of the project still thinks to negotiate with the exchanges related to the market situations. But I see that some of the projects are entering the market, but their price was not good to follow the market, especially to follow bitcoin price. Maybe this time, they need to stay calm for a while until the market can recover so they can get a new price.

What I know is that ICO was no dead, there is just an upgrade on its security which is why IEO was created in replacement for it. Even with this changes, scam still exist so we better be more meticulous on choosing which projects are legit.

Scam are everywhere, even the government cannot stop that, but with IEO, those high rate of scams in ICO are lessens, so it's a good solution to bring back a lively crowd sale in the space. ICO is not yet dead of course as we still see a lot of ICO, but the fact that they are not raising money anymore (no literraly), that would say that ICO is not anymore effective as before.

If it is dead, I don't think there will still be thousands of them.

A lot of projects are still there, maybe you are stating this because the ICOs you've invested in did not give you a profit? With thousands of ICOs, it is not dead for me, it is just that like sleeping and it will be awake in a certain time or maybe it is the end of it. We don't know, all I know is that it is still there and still not dead.

But looking at the amount raise, are they still raising a good amount?
I heard that majority of the ICO are scams, so that is not attractive for investors and I believe they are now investing in IEO than in ICO.
If that is not dead yet, I'm afraid soon, they won't be able to recover until they will be dead.

There are good ICO also, we can't deny that, but the fact that majority are scams, that would ruin the reputation of the entire ICO market.

Majority is scam or end up like dead project. Only few come out as a success in this process. Dont think that its matter if this is ICO or IEO. Maybe IEO will have more success in this maybe not. Only good thing is that they need to be offered on some exchange in difference to ICO that most dont see exchange at all.

But again this is huge gamble in both cases. From so many ICOs so far only few were good or successful at all. Dont think that IEO will change much this market but good bring some improvement in the whole process.

Now I’m watching some ICOs and I understand that they won’t even be able to collect Soft Cap and start working on the project for which they raised money. Even IEOs are not always successful, very few people collect Hard Cap. Probably only IEO on Binance is most often successful and brings good profit to investors.

Is there a demand out there for the coins/tokens that companies and startup are churning out every day?

The market for initial coin offerings (ICOs) looks like its basically dead, is it likely going to resurrect again? What we see is that market players are spending much of their time focused on finding new ways to deploy new supply of tokens, but not focusing much on long term drivers of demand. However, there are natural limits to the market's ability to absorb an endless supply of tokens, there is a limit to how quickly we can push supply into an increasingly saturated market.

Do you think the ICO is really dead?

Everybody learned their lessons,including new comers, they will be more intelligent and prepared if they manage to pick new alts for their investments, then of course new developers will be pretty much tougher also, this time it will not just be baseless dreams that they are trying to make, it is a reality where every body can win. If there are still ICOs out there then it should be more precise, securities for their investors are assured and a goal is firmly set. So it would be much better the past ICO were the most of them never even had the chance to prove their existence
Most likely new investors will not be dumb as what we saw when ICO was so hot that new coins are made every minute at that time.

ICO days are gone years ago and I think if it’s not dead right now yet it’s heading there

With all the scammers circling around the ICO community?with all the victims shouting for justice and refund?i don’t think there’s another way that they can be trusted[im not saying 100% but yet the super majority does)
Anyway i really don’t have care for them as I had stopped investing for them since last year

The golden age of ICOs was 2017. At that time people were generally excited about the bull run, and ready to invest in "hidden gems", "the new Bitcoin". However, as the bearish trend came to be, those investments disappointed people even more than Bitcoin. Not to mention huge sums of money simply being stolen from investors... These people never even got their tokens, and many people got shitty tokens. There've been other initial offerings looking like the future of such projects, but IMO they died almost right after being started. Now's the time for Bitcoin, maybe a couple of other big cryptos. Not tokens.

They already learned from those past mistakes that they had done and for those people who do just jumped in blindly because they are just being hyped up of that 2017 bull run definitely turns back to crypto market after they are being wrecked up.

ICO nowadays isn't dead yet since I can see some projects do still proceed into these traditional ways on seeking out some funding but high rates that they do fail up and not getting any sufficient support due to that past reason.

ICO has been limited to very few projects running on it, sobit is not totally dead and forgotten. It is going to come back but maybe not under etheruem platform and whatever platform that it would or various platforms, they would have learnt lesson.
