Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a come back? I do and here is why. Every year dozens of companies raise money in Silicon Valley for startups, many pre revenue. Also, with the economy injured from nCov19, it would make sense to allow for new economies. This would include letting new startups in Blockchain raise money, and imo if they are well vetted, and trusted by the community, they should be allowed to raise money. What do you think?
No ICO nowadays was nothing it will not be profitable if they run ICO on their project it will be just a waste of time specially nowadays who run IEO was successful they give good profit in return to the investor of the project, one more thing the ICO before was terrible when they got the money of the investor they easy run and the investor will not have time to get what they invest.

Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a comeback?
I do not know why but I think that the era of ICO is slow down decreasing, to be replaced with IEO although IEO is also still not significant and effective enough. there are still some issues and problems from IEO. There are also some fundraising that is coming since 2019, not only IEO but also STO or IPO. As reported, the ICO fundraising has been plummeting in 2019, almost 95%. It is a big percentage, right? ICO (Initial Coin Offering) itself was very booming to be used by many projects, moreover, rin 2017-2018.
Based on data taken from https://ico.tokens-economy.com/statistics/ and icobench, there are decreasing fundraising using the ICO from 2018 to 2019 and this year.
1. ICO in 2018
Quote
Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2018 $7673.97 M
2. ICO in 2019
It has experienced decreases
Quote
Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2019 $1437.55 M
3. ICO in 2020
Quote
Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in 2020 $4.07 M
Seeing from the decreasing statistic during 2019 and 2020, it is difficult for ICO to come up again and reach a high percentage for fundraising. Many new projects and investors are more interested in the latest ways of fundraising.

People will not trust again on ICO because of what happened before. People will always seek something new. Guys, do you think that ICOs could make a come back? I do and here is why.

With the current condition of the crypto currency market, every one had a filled of ico and virtually everyone who invested in start up during the days of ico got their fair share of ico scams. The start of IEOs however brought light and hope for both investors and startups looking to raise money. My take is, IEO as a fundraising scheme is still staying here and i don't think ICO will ever get a momentum in this space again
The number of new ICOs listed before considering the funds raised are: March 2018 recorded the highest number of new projects entering the database (528), while the number of incoming ICOs has fallen slightly since the end of the summer, with the lowest recorded figure being in October, when there were 213 new listings. In this case, however, the decrease is less evident than the decline of the amount of capital amassed: Therefore, their is a large number of ICOs are still competing for shrinking resources.
The return is not sure, because many are still suffering from what they suffer from in the past.

Is it possible to ever see the return of ICOs again? IEOs covered the loopholes that ICO couldn't cover. Hence I doubt there would be a return of ICOs

Many companies have cheated during ICOs but there is something new, there are r-ICOs (Reversible ICO) and during the first selling part the buyers have the option to return back the tokens at any time and receive their associated money (ETH) back. I read about it connected to a new project called Lukso listed on KuCoin
But it wouldn't be an ICO anymore. They can still have a crowdfunding but there's no need to let it through an ICO. Most startups that comes from Silicon Valley have higher chances of getting investors than any ICO and they don't have to make it as an ICO.
Angel investors looks forward to them and I don't think they've been thinking of this idea.

yeah, agree, it is hard to expect that ICO time will come back, today or any day after, since there was a bit of scams within ICO time, and most of people do not want to invest in those schemes, new people will be introduced to the market, but do not think that they will join ICO's with IEO and similar investment opportunities available
we need good projects to create new hype, no matter which type of financing will be dominant in that era

You're correct when you talk about the economic plunge caused by covid-19 and of course new start-ups in the blockchain technology are not forbidden to help the situation, but how many of this start-ups/new icos are going to be legitimate; we have already had plenty of them just when the pandemic started to spread through the world, so many 'corona virus' coins and also projects on charity campaigns for lives affected by the virus, but all of them are headed and controlled by scammers, and they'll be gone(exit scam)if they raise funds from investors.New icos would not help revive the economy hampered by the corona virus pandemic, many individuals have lost their livelihoods and jobs and may be looking for new ways to invest and make money, they may invest in this new icos and lose more money, which only makes things worse imo.
I don't think ICO boom is happening again. It's just not about the bad experience from 2017, where majority of ICOs were scams; but also due to SEC regulatory issues. Even legit projects are in limbo coz of SEC. And we all know no ICO is complete without the involvement of US investors.
The ICO is dead and it will not be able to explode again. There were so many ICO scams in 2017 and 2018, it made a lot of people lose money when investing in ICOs. Now people are trying to stay away from ICOs as far as possible 
ICO, IEO, Crowdfunding and whatever everyone said about a raising money attempt.
Maybe OP was not aware of these kind of crowdfunding or fundraising projects.They all same, they focus on raising money from the projects they offer. The different only the method they are using for raising money, as long on cryptocurrency always have some improvement, new idea and etc about the development of blockchain. There will be always a project who conduct all of the method of raising money for their project.
@Ryzaadit is right, these are all the same (mostly) coz it targets to fund a project but it has also uncertainty like any initial project but what IEO can promise is the return of investment at what rate? we don't know it still depends on the success of the project, if the project gets highly recognized and supported the higher the return however it could also turn into a cruel fate if its not. And I doubt there will be new projects, what I mean with new is an innovative one, non-existing project as of now.The golden era of crypto projects has ended ( 2016 - 2017) who's agree with me?
That hype doesn’t seem to come anymore like 2017. Because investors have already moved away from ico. Investors have lost a lot of their money by investing in scam ico. The situation of ico is such that even if many good projects come, they cannot be successful. The main reason for this is that people have lost faith in ico. Now you see the new projects that are listed on the exchange, each project's tokens / coins have dumped huge. So why would investors invest again? to lose their money? So I think ico's days are over.

I don't think so, ICO days are gone investors are not interested on ICO's anymore which majority of them are scam now. But I don't close my door on ICO's. Maybe if something big will happen like SEC list of approve projects that are verified and real, It can trigger some hype and trust. But as of now, I don't think that will happen 
regulations are very strict on ICO, in fact, some countries are banning it. Last ICO boom was bullrun is 2017, Maybe if there is another bullrun? But I am not confident that ICO will be back even if there is a bullrun.

But different ways will yield different results. If new projects choose ICOs to raise funds, I believe that they are likely to fail, there have been too many ICO scams over the years and now investors are no longer paying attention to it. IEO is a much better option for fundraising and if they do it at major exchanges, they will surely succeed. They all same, they focus on raising money from the projects they offer.

The way i see it, the bitcoin is about to rally and there will be many people trying to make a run for the money and it is possible that there will be many ICO appearing in the coming months, other than that it is highly unlikely anyone would invest who had a bad experience in the ICO market.If a company has a promising project that could make money then it could attract investors without going public.

Yeah, new blockchain based projects should be allowed to raise funds but only after filtering for quality, practicality and competency of the team because trust is a must thing and fake and scam icos have dented the investor confidence badly which needs to be regained, obviously IEOs are one step forward towards that but we know not all projects are able to list at a reputable ieo launchpad. 
Now new projects are still appearing, but they didn't choose ICO because it's too dangerous. Investors will stay away from the project if they do an ICO because they think it might be a scam. IEO will be the best choice at the present time and it easily makes the project successful
