ICO won't make a comeback, it was good but has it's flaws which IEO helped fix, some are comparing DeFi to ICO, saying it will be like ICO, if this is true then we should be expecting some bubble soon, I don't believe this though since DeFi projects raise money through IEO
DEFI was a bubble and it's similar to the ICO or IEO. You should see that fact how so many new DEFIs were getting hyped so much by the investors or even new traders. I suggest you to take a look at how compound was going to be a big thing instantly.

I do not see the glory of the ICO will rise, because in my opinion the ICO fund collection model is not suitable and the time is over. The track record of many bad ICOs and the need for available market guarantees is what investors need. The fundraising model for starup will continue to change dynamically.
There is no arguments about the purpose of ICO tokens because each one has its own promises.
But the problem is are they really going towards Roadmap?the answer is no because all they wanted is to fool investors and take their money ,rest for a while and again promote another project to make another scam.
This is the sad reality of ICO so please let us not protect these scammers mate.
of course, we must forget ICO. those who hope to reach ATH back with ICO I think that will not happen. ICO has become a fraud. and now there is a better system that we must support. how to make this system produce more successful projects than fraudulent projects. But the problem is are they really going towards Roadmap?the answer is no because all they wanted is to fool investors and take their money ,rest for a while and again promote another project to make another scam.

I think if the cryptocurrency market returns to its previous state, the ICO will also return. Currently the cryptocurrency situation is very bad so the ICOs are scared. So I think if the market is good then different companies will come back again.
I agree with this sentiment. Remember folks, ICO's dont necessarily mean the project in question is doing a start up for a "currency". Token models can be for any use case. If that use case can work on paper (hence the white paper) then the next phase is to see IF it can or will work in the real world. Cryptocurrency is an entire market with basically infinite potential use cases. This tech is still basically brand new and untapped. Not to mention the market cap of all crypto is tiny, especially for a global market.

This is an example of what I wrote above, look at this project "https://exmarkets.com/launchpad/spiz-btc", 3 billion coins created in the eth blockchain, everyone can create an asset on eth blockchain, there are many tools to do it in automatic, Token price $ 0.10 each, wich means teorically they can collect 300 millions Dollar and enjoy for the rest of the life.The ico and ieo formats are completely busted, value is created from nothing, crypto that have no value sold at absurd prices. This is pure speculation, few make a lot of money and many lose a lot of money this is the sad reality of today's projects, they all want to get rich and immediately.
I do not think anyone would actually have the rightful mind to invest in ICOs unless it's companies probably private investors but as for normal crypto investors it will take time for such to happen. That's my own take. Many prefers buying upon listing or buying through IEOs from some exchanges not all. ICO coming back may or may not be that possible.
I don't think if they return with ICO they will get high enthusiasm from investors. IEO is currently the first choice and investment in old projects is more promising and not deceptive. I think the new project with ICO is not a good choice. We all see that, in fact I haven't seen good ICO or successful ICO at the moment and most ICO who were successfully raise a good amount during its popularity are now slowly losing its market.
unfortunately what is happening right now is as you say. some who say success at IEO just disappear in the market and they seem to lose investor support. I guess they are just manipulating the sales that are happening.Not only in IEO, I think manipulation is happening more during the times of the popularity of IEO as there are projects that can raise $100 million or more but it does not even give the investors a good sign that the project is progressing or eventually they will just disappear.
Sometimes figure is use as an enticing factors to investors, so we need to be careful.
There are projects that with 50 thousand dollars have become successful projects listed in international finance, if you give 10 million dollars for an ico or an ieo to people who until yesterday lived with 1000 dollars it is normal no one of the dev are interest in the project develop , they already got money for it, bye bye! Give the power to an exchange to decide what is the best project to list is another big mistake, it will become Mafia exchange , the biggest exchange their already have control of all market manipulation if you let them decide what is the best project for you it is just crazy ..... Today everything is well organized to make money, lot people loose money and just few get rich. Meditate people meditate

Although ICO became very popular in 2017, it was later replaced by IEO and this led to the emergence of IEO. Currently, most of the projects have opted for IEO to sell their coins and the number of ICO is declining day by day. If investors show interest in investing in various projects through IEO instead of ICO, However, the ICO is unlikely to return. Because the projects bring their coins to market for sale and they will accept the way they can sell more coins.

I don't think so, we IEO, I think this one will gain more investors as lowly people are forgetting the ICO. Currently the cryptocurrency situation is very bad so the ICOs are scared. So I think if the market is good then different companies will come back again.

there are many good projects out there, but they cannot influence investors like they did in the previous year.
yes, now investors are very thorough and don't want to lose much of their money again and once again if there is a patent to make an investment maybe in the coming year the investors will return

Many are affected by the pandemic, all aspects of life touched like as people and the business world. Related to Economic Recovery with the presence of new programs and ideas on fundraising such as Silicon Valley for startups that are true and there are no stowaways (Scamer) So as not to repeat the old story of both the ICO and IEO Program.
You may not see the fact if BOTH were still exist today. The pandemic doesn't affect the interest by investors to invest into the good projects. Have you seen the IEO and ICO history of this year? so many IEO have already ended successfully with million dollars as the funds that already raised from the investors too. 
ICO could return, but it is uncertain given that there is now a much better IEO, which provides security for investors.
You're right. It is not right to say that ICO gone forever. Actually, there is a lot of ICO projects are about to be released. However, you're right that ICO projects nowadays can't compete to IEO projects. The reason is that IEO method is safer than ICO method. Moreover, many people got scammed by ICO in the past and they no longer believe in ICO. Personally, I think ICO can't survive in this market anymore.

On the other hand, think that the ico can be very successful, as long as the costs of the initial coins are contained.
Are ICOs still a thing in 2020? I don't know why you think the ICO game can still be played. Even though new ICOs demand for even less funds, It'll be hard to get people to invest. Gone are the days when people fomo into token sales. I doubt we'll have such a time again with ICOs.
Also, If you take a quick look at the market, world economies etc, the overall sentiment isn't great. Even IEOs that are held on trusted exchanges find it difficult to sell out as they used to. If would be another boom in token sales, It definitely won't be with ICOs.
If you are feeling doubt about that and I can tell you something and what you need to do just visit this site https://icodrops.com/category/ended-ico/
I can even list some icos like solana, compound, DMM governance, 2keynetwork and many more that have been successfully getting a lot of demand for the crowd sale and these were giving a very nice return to the early investors too.
