ICO is a form of effective investment. It looks like it is being exploited to scam
I think the rapidly developing ICO market is a positive thing for the whole blockchain technologies, and in the future we will see some kinds of ICO activity regulation which will beat the scam projects.
In 2016, 46 ICOs totaling $ 96 million were totaled. The record belonged to the Russian company Waves Alexander Ivanov - they managed to attract $ 16 million for ICO.
In 2017, the situation changed dramatically
In mid-December 2017, statistics were as follows: 234 ICOs worth $ 3.7 billion, the "average check" was already $ 15.7 million.
Five projects managed to attract more than $ 150 million, the largest ICO belongs to Filecoin - $ 257 million (everywhere - Coinshedule data, although they may differ from other sources).
Since the second half of 2017, the dynamics of a noticeable decline in the number of successful ICOs has emerged, that is, those who managed to collect the declared hard cap.
According to ICO Rating, in the first half of 2017 successful ICO was 50% or more, in summer there were about a third, in autumn it was less than 20%.
In 2018, the growth dynamics of ICO will be significantly higher than in the previous year, but what will be the quality? If the situation does not change, 90% of the skam is waiting for us and it will be much more difficult to select a successful ICO.
It is worth noting that when entering the ICO market of large investors and venture funds, the marketing policies of development companies may completely change.
After all, large projects are interested in projects with an existing product. The advertising company will be given a much lower amount (if it's not a scam).
Interesting opinion of Vitalik Buterin,
which has repeatedly stated that the ICO market is still young and in the future will come the era of "tokens 2.0". It is for 2018-2019, most likely, it will have to. This will be a new qualitative breakthrough, which will lead the segment into wider expanses.
What do you think about it?
Here is an interesting animation, showing the dynamics of ICO's growth since 2014:
