Topic: Reasons why ICOs fail - page 27. (Read 319623 times)
There are several reasons as to why the majority of the ICO fail. Some don't fail for failing sake but has the sole intention to scam people. Others might be due to lack of planning, experienced team, poorly constructed whitepaper, no real-world uses and above all investors aren't buying their concept.
The answer is quite clear to me. The market doesn’t need a lot of ICOs. It looks like they started to bring out an Ico for everything and as a result most of them fails. I’m not surprised.
ICO-projects stop working much faster and more often than traditional companies or start-ups in other high-tech areas...
That's because startups are aimed to make a product that would attract investors to help them develop it further. While in crypto there is another situation - "developers" tries to launch business project having 0 experience in this field, develop a product with 0 experience in this field too, but they advertise it because they have experience only in promotion, so as a result we have - they sell their ideas and then step by step they realize that they can make this idea be real

There is a big amount of reasons. First and foremost is that majority of develipers aren't aimed to deliver product,they just scam people and don't offer revolutionary service
Most ICOs do not maximize utility in their Tokens. In fact, authentic evidence that individuals need a Token in the future must be provided, so that the overall value of the ICO product is really good. For example, if you want to become an ICO developer, ask yourself: if you don't take a Token, will your business go bankrupt? If the answer is no, then you don't need a Token or hold an ICO.
i doubt we are going to be lack of choice of icos and other projects they appear too often even to be noticed at once Most ICOs do not maximize utility in their Tokens.

For example, if you want to become an ICO developer, ask yourself: if you don't take a Token, will your business go bankrupt? If the answer is no, then you don't need a Token or hold an ICO.
If more ICO's would be using security tokens, then I guess there would be quite more interest in that or get something from holding that particular token, like if you hold NEO you get GAS, holding ontology and vechain you get some of those tokens and that's great to have them in the portfolio.
Most tokens do not have their utility, that is correct. As you are purchasing them to do something on their platform with it etc. Also, a good one would be to show at least MVP before going on ICO, just show up as a team with no product and idea is not working in 2018 anymore.
There are many ICOs out there, but more than 50% of them fail.
From my analogy, could this be the reasons why ICOs fail?
1. Being too complicated:
If you want investors to favour your ICO, make sure they understand your coin offering. Be concise yet interesting, creative yet not too ‘techy’ and try to explain concepts from scratch. Of course, the detail you go into is likely to depend on your target audience.
2. No unique Use case and lack of creativity:
The reality is, ICOs are not straightforward and with new ideas and concepts arising daily, you need to get noticed and that means coming up with some unique Use case
So, before a developer even attempts to launch an ICO or enter the crypto world, ask yourself: "What will make investors choose this particular ICO over a competitor’s ICO?"
I believe the list continues.
as far as i understand while being here there are some cryptocurrency which are no longer up to date and they die it is natural From my analogy, could this be the reasons why ICOs fail?

I absolutely agree with your position, they completely lack uniqueness nowadays, I don't see reasons why actually certain project should be successful or not...very hard to invest for now.
The product (idea, vision) is the most important for me. If it is innovative, attractive and solving a real problem, all other
stuff can be arranged around. But if is a useless idea with now use case than there is no marketing and promotion
which will make it successful long term.

Everything is simple, there are not enough investors in the market who will be able to provide money for all projects, not only the smallest, but also large ones. I think that with the growth of the market, everything will recover again.
many ICOs fail also makes investor affraid to invested in. investors think that ICO is not good investment bcs of its failed
that is why sometimes there is a good ICO but fail too

Because most of the ICO project is more like a hype, they didn't have any meaning, from their white paper can determine that they are unlikely to succeed, so I think now is not a good time to an investment ICO.
many ico project are explain with great development in whitepaper, but after ico end and the product are production they are just like this pict for explanation ico project now 
there are a lot of reasons , we need to talk about each project separately . some projects can't raise the soft cap . other projects are experiencing legal problems
Very few campaigns are carried out by the ICO for the benefit of people. Many do not have a real product, a lot simply repeat the failure of other projects.Now on the falling market, the investor simply does not want to invest money in the unknown. As soon as the situation on the market stabilizes, everything will immediately fall into place.
ICO-projects stop working much faster and more often than traditional companies or start-ups in other high-tech areas. Before proceeding to the conclusions and declaring that the ICO era has come to an end, it is necessary to understand the reasons for the failures of the new projects.
If the projects just give up what they are doing then that is not the correct investment to get in unless you know how to to revive a coin. 
I think that ICO collection rates are often too much over the creators of the project. It seems to me right that the ICO continues until the minimum softcap collection time. In the case of hardcap ICO may not stand the test of time.
Yes, as you said, the problem is the lack of product. half of the ICO is empty. Or start collecting funds writing a paper, and to bring to life not obtained. Also, all sorts of scammers are trying to tear off a piece of cryptocurrency
Meany reasons for failing an ICO.There are three strong that make an ICO which are crypto economics utility and security. If any of these is not paid attention by the developers there are big reason ICO failure. The below mentioned reason for falling the ICO project. Choose the best project best project then invest. If project is bad that project fail.
1 SECURITY
2 BAD PROJECT IDEAS
1 SECURITY
2 BAD PROJECT IDEAS
according to my understanding, no more than 50% of ICOs fail. because I have never found a failed ICO that reaches more than 50%. therefore if the rules are too complicated I agree as long as the concept description is clear from the beginning.
The reasons are many because of which ICO fails, here and the team can be inexperienced, as well as the lack of interest of the investors to the ICO. Or simply did not reach their softcap and hardcap.
