Topic: When will ICOs die? - page 75. (Read 6714 times)
ICOs won't be dying anytime soon. In fact, more and more people are investing in them and hoping to get the next Ethereum. If you don't like ICOs just don't invest in them. There are many people who have never invested in an ICO and probably never will. They like to invest in more stable projects and don't like the high risk of ICOs.
As long as there are people willing to invest their money into an ICO there will be ICO's. They are going to be around for a long time.
ico will never die, but its numbers will continue to decrease. investors will be more careful in choosing ico where they will invest. that's good, because there will only be the best ico who dares to offer his project.
ICO's will never die, they'll just fade away...
What I mean is: they will morph into new forms to adapt to new government regulations and market forces.
Many ICOs now require pre-registration and KYC info for contributors, so that greatly increases their cost-per-contributor. Which means there's value in reducing the number of contributors while increasing their contribution amounts. If they can raise enough funds with a private placement round, they will, and be done with it.
There will still be a place for the broad, populist kinds of ICOs though. Look at singularity,net or dadi.cloud for examples of ICOs that got lots of participants in spite of having KYC requirements and maximum buy-in limits. If the business idea is "high concept" and has broad worldwide appeal -- or if it really is decentralized in the sense of making a business process more free and democratic -- then this kind of ICO is still a good way to go.

Not sure I'm following what you're saying. But to answer your explicit question... ICO's will die when there's not more money. If an ICO raises enough funds through a private sale then there's not reason to go public. This makes their life easier because they don't have to worry about GAS wars and reduces their investor count. If you're frustrated about missing some of the ICO's then I'd recommend finding an ICO pool and joining it.
Recently learned that more and more ICOs are closing deals through private sales and merely airdropping the coins. Will ICOs die, when will it?
