Nowadays people were afraid to invest on the ICOs because of the crypto currency prices were falling since the beginning of this year so if they invested on some ICO then the chance of making profits is less from the projects so investors are waiting for the bull run when they can get more profits.

Due to the fact that the market has fallen so much, many people are afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies. Investing in ICO with so many scams and just weak projects is extremely dangerous, so people stopped investing in ICO.
it is true that there are many good ICOs that might work if the concept is realized but I feel that investors cannot support all ICOs, not because they have no money but they do not want to waste their money so they act selectively and carefully because basically the risk of scam is very high

The problem is that for investors to get profit we need the token price going up, which is not necessarily the case even if the project is generally successful. There might be an ICO that uses tokens as rewards or accepts them as payments, but if they are not used extremely often, the price will start declining and investors will lose interest. On the other hand, some overhyped project with no significant move towards reaching its main goals can get traded like crazy and investors will profit from it. It's a hard and tricky market we re dealing with and unfortunately the most traded cryptos do not necessarily have the best projects behind them, but the former affects the price more than the latter imo.

Most of the ICO investors now are taking the rest because of the situation of market now and ICO projects mostly is a scam. They are temporarily stay away from with it, because they afraid of losing again.
Investor didnt trust ico anymore. Because almost all ico is a scam but not all there some still legit ico like datareum , digipharm and twogap. If you look to there whitepaper thier platform are unique and there partnership are famous and trustable. Maybe investor will back to invest after the market recover.
yes. exactly so it is. the people don't want to buy scam tokens anymore. the trust in crypto is lost. and we all have invested in scam ico. everyone definitely one time. and also we are now more cautious and invest only a little . and I can understand that too
In my point of view, there are no problem with the quaylity of ICO projects. However, the investors are too scared when they have lost what they invested. You can imagine that what will you do when you are holding tokens which are lost 10 times value from the ICO price. They dont have enough money to continue
There are investors, there are just less of them, there are only investors who believe in the product, and I think only about its prosperity in the future, and not about quick money to get it.
A solid idea is far from enough.
you need a solid team
a solid product
a solid roadmap and goals
solid management
solid updates and accountability
with all of that in mind its hardly a wonder that most ICOs fail or flutter after launch - a lot of them have great ideas but no idea how to pull them off once they have all that money at their disposal and they are done in by mismanagement and goals that they simply fail to achieve or correct.
I think a lot of them, when faced with the first "trouble" tend to panic and overcorrect, which is just about the worst thing you can do.
even if you F'd up, the best thing to do is to admit it to your audience and be ready with a plan on how you will correct things, but I guess its some sort of macho ICO pride that prevents them from doing that and does the project in.
I think investors began seeing that, probably sooner than the regular public and so over the past few months have been far more careful with how they spend their money.

Currently there are many ICO scams that are very detrimental to investors, and some ICOs only last a few months and after that are worthless, making many investors now lose confidence in the ICO, I hope there are programs that can detect ICO fraud quickly.
Most investors are not having a better returns for their money, so most stayed clear of ICO, until we have an enabling environment.
Investing in ICOs now comes with great risk unlike what we used to have, from me, I will rather invest in coins already in the market than ICOs now.

It's indeed but investors do not invest due to the low prices on the market and all situation. 2018 is bad time for conducting ICOs
Ico do not raise funds because there is no new money. Old money walks from one project to another and the basis still remains on the bitcoin. Since last year, a lot of projects have become scam and this scares away some investors. And most of the projects have a current whitepaper and that's it, and it’s not known if the team can handle it in the end.
isn't it if the project is funded and realized the project will be successful and profitable for investors?
No. Quite the opposite, most ICO tokens are falling below their ICO price now. Here's some data https://icodrops.com/ico-stats/The problem is that there is a lot of ICO team that don't deliver their promise, they don't further develop their product after they got the money. Seeing so many failures in ICO investing, it's normal that the investment isn't as lucrative as it used to be.
I think it's good though because ICO has been a stain for cryptocurrency ecosystem so far due to the sheer amount of "scam" and lack of professionalism from ICO developers. It's time for all those money to be spent on things that really useful like Bitcoin.
I see that there are many ICOs that fail because of lack of funds even though the concept is good and potential, isn't it if the project is funded and realized the project will be successful and profitable for investors?
yes maybe but remember now investors are still afraid to invest in ICOs, because on average many ICO projects don't meet expectations. and currently the market is being too risky to invest. so they prefer to secure their assets and find ways to return their losses. Even though at this time quality projects only get a small amount of funds, even only softcap, it doesn't seem to matter because there will always be investors who buy their tokens on the market.
I think that many of them are waiting to see how the market pans out. They are out there but definitely hedging their bets at the moment. It's a pity as there really are some great projects that have not been able to continue.
It's also a matter of many waiting to get used to the 'new' price of ETH.

There is this thinking now among investors that they would rather wait for the project to hit the exchanges than to invest in the ICO. The plan to buy from dumpers with prices lower than that of ICO. The problem here is that the project would not even get listed on exchanges due to failed token sale since many are just waiting.

These investors realized that there was no any potential in the project itself and that's why they are not putting their money on it, remember whales are so smart dude. they are have a lot of consideration before try to invest in anything. they are taking the advantage of good coin.
Some of the most successful crypto currencies are completely decentralized coins that had a fair distribution with No ICO, No Premine, No masternodes, No founders rewards ect ect...
These are completely different then these tokens that come out that just have a company and idea behind them, older crypto-currencies can survive just with a handful of blockchain developers and some supporting community members.
Big token ICOs can still fail if they don't have the proper support and developers ya know? I would say that any ICO that doesn't go to it's own chain is more prone of reaching a point where they lack funds to continue. Then again most of the big token coins have really good development.

i was asking the same, why some really potential projects just fade away slowly and instead of it scam come and steal all the glory. but i think we should stay optimistic because sadness is never good help Jump to:
