this is decentralized world. it is impossible to ban it. how the government can know you are invest or not? it is impossible.

They'll know if you do bank transfers/credit card deposits, and if you have ever mentioned your crypto-address in a manner that can be associated with you. For example, if you are logging on your own IP and providing a BTC address, the government will now know that the IP address and crypto-address can be linked. Then it just becomes a matter of checking ISP records and seeing that it is Joe Blow's home internet and they will assume it is Joe Blow's account.

if one country is banning the ico, i am sure that the other country is allow ico. ico still promising to attract more investor but they must know the details of the ico itself before they invest in large money. ico will stay for a long time as long as they can make a better project for many people and they don't just make money from the projects.

it is probably better for crypto if they end up being trusted by the majority of people.

There will always be ICO's of some type. Maybe just a different name. Like changing "Giveaway"  to "Airdrop".
so true. there are still many thoughts that can be realized that can resemble ICO. Maybe with a different system. But I think ICO is still quite strong and has become a big mindset in the world of cryptocurrency. Contradictive does give a pretty strong reaction. But there are many great thinkers in this world

There will be ICOs that will sprout like mushroom out from no where, those who says will protect the investors of possible ICO scam might be the scam after all. Nothing beats doing your own research and read a lot about the ICO that you plan to join or invest, its like gambling, invest only what you can afford to lose.

I just hope all country can do this kind of regulation on ICOs with that regulation we can get the assurance that this ICO is definitely not a scam because it is regulated by the Government meaning, Regulation on ICOs could result into less SCAMS, and can provide a way for investors to focus on true ICOs that can give potential for profit-making and can build a good return of investments.

I don't agree that ICOS gonna end in matter of time. I believe there will be lot more regulated icos incoming. So it will be harder to cheat people. There could be less ICOs than right now but it is still going to better.

Agree! And isn't it a good thing for us? Some people from government will do part of our researches))) more regulated ICOs are coming already)

ICO will be the future and not the past. However, I'm seeing more and more companies do pre-sale (pre-ICOs) prior to ICO. The fund pool of ICOs will be reduced in the future.

I'm not following you.. What do you mean? How are pre-sales and fund pools connected?

I believe that it is impossible to stop the new ICO. Investors and developers of ICO will always find a way to find each other. Measures to prevent them in certain countries can not be achieved. And the conduct of ICO in some countries, such as Japan has already been regulated by law.

The panic over regulation in the USA seems overblown when the SEC has honestly been pretty gentle about things so far. Check out this post from TechCrunch: https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/14/sec-shows-support-for-icos-that-are-not-obviously-securities/

Also, it is not like the US introduced new regulations. The securities laws were always there, and ICO's were always going to test that. Should have been no surprise that the SEC stepped in eventually.

What the enforcement of these regulations does mean is that ICO's are going to become a far less accessible and democratized thing. It means that people will need to obtain legal counsel, for sure, lest they run into issues like Protostarr: www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2017/09/01/after-contact-by-sec-protostarr-token-shuts-down-post-ico-will-refund-investors/amp/. And legal counsel is incredibly expensive. The sale of private, unregulated securities is still possible in the U.S., but then, securitized tokens can only be sold to qualifying wealthy investors who exceed a threshold in asset ownership, and usually, one has to be well-off already to have access to a network of wealthy investors. In true American fashion, ICO's will become a tool relegated and employed for the wealthy to make themselves wealthier.

Regulation doesn't mean that it will be the end. Just some more things you have to consider before launching an ICO.

Indeed, exactly this.
Regulation should (hopefully) mean less scams, not ending all legit ico's.

I don't think this is the end of ICO's they will just evolve to get around the ban. I am sure right now there are some "ICO's" going on in China.

I do believe that regulation is not something that should be feared, but welcomed. Although it does depend on if the regulations are there to allow great projects to rise above crappy ones, or if it is just to suffocate ICO's in general.

I read an interesting article about the ramifications of the China ICO ban and it helped me form my opinion. I would recommend you give it a read.
