If we have projects that truely stands out, they will achieve huge success in their ICO. I believe Defi are such outstanding projects.

The DeFi market has already cooled down and people are now not willing to invest in DeFi projects because most of them are again turning out to be a bi-product of the ICO and just made to scam as much money as possible with no real product.

Because ethereum offers the technology needed to complement blockchain technology. besides that ethereum also has a large marketcap. there is always a risk in investing, in-depth research is highly recommended. but where you have the opportunity to invest in a project with good technology and an existing ecosystem, I'm sure you won't miss the opportunity to make that investment.

The large market cap is because they have a product that is actually usable and smart contracts was first introduced by ethereum which are now being used by every other token and coin. I agree one would not miss such an ICO now days but it is even harder to find such coins now because when ETH came, I am sure a lot of guys must have skipped investing considering the project too good to be true.

they might be similar but not the same IPO are not being run by faceless people. Most of the ICO are being run by people you do not know their identity which make it hard for investors to make contributions. In 2017, people invest more on ICO without even know some of the team behind the project because the thought of getting scammed is not so rampant but long after, ICO are being hijacked by criminals. Also, in the past, we have seen project with not properly developed whitepaper raising alot of money and end up delivering well but today ICO Scammers will go as far as getting a well planned and neatly written whitepaper. If Ethereum is to launch an ICO again today, I am very confidence that alot of people will invest because they know who is behind the project irrespective of novelty of the project. At least if the project is not successful, they can get back their money

In my studies, I've come to understand that ICO and IPO are very similar, as they are fundraising strategies for startups.

Here are the areas of differences.

1. ICO are mostly for crypto and Blockchain backed new startups, who need funds to build their businesses, while IPO are for companies that have track performance, that want to raise funds to scale operations.

2. ICO is like crowd funding, which has less regulation, but IPO are heavily regulated.

Here is what I want us to discuss.

Since ICO investment is very risky as it depends the new startup whitepaper and the token, how did we know Ethereum would become successful through it ICO?

If Ethereum is to start afresh and do an ICO, why will you invest?

The game is over when ETH became one of the most important platforms for smart contracts.

The downside is that scammers now take advantage of this great platform to commit scams.

You need to know that there will always be risks in these new technologies ...

As far as I know, Eth is the biggest platform that provides general use of smart contracts, and as we see they are dominating the entire altcoin market with their market cap. Scammers are just scammers, Even you have a very good system scammer will find a loophole to your system to commit their motives. It's not a downside if you are well knowledge Tongue

Ethereum has a good platform so it would definitely catch the interest of many investors. But in my case, who doesn't invest that much to ICOs, I'd probably not. ICO projects left an imression to us that it will just be good for short term only. I am into long term project investments. But to think it has lived s far as it is today, impressions are not certain. There are projects still worth investing for long term. Ethereum therefore is a good example of not generalising ICO projects.

If the question is why we are investing, then the answer is obvious, everyone wants to make money. As for Ethereum, I see no reason to doubt this cryptocurrency, at least at the moment. Should I go to ICO on Ethereum? I think it's worth it if this ICO looks good and attractive. Why should we abandon this? I see that thanks to crypto projects on Ethereum, the crypto industry is developing and showing new results. Isn't that what we all want?

If indeed ETHEREUM does an ICO again, which is clear, I will certainly develop in it because,
ETH has clearly survived from year to year that I have participated in, and ETH prices continue
to increase from year to year even though there has been a gradual decline after 2018.

Their idea of decentralized smart-contract attract and enable people around the world to easily joining the crypto community. For me, the things that make me truly believe and understand the concept of financial decentralization is Ethereum.

That's right and if one knew ETH was going to be as big a success as it became then surely everyone would have invested but we are all talking about this in hindsight and it is impossible to see the future so right now if an ICO is going on even better than ETH we would never know it until it is completed and the token starts taking price jumps.

I believe there are so many scam ICOs now in market that it is impossible for an average investor to see the future of the token because I myself have seen some amazing projects been started but transformed into nothing but scam later on, I don't see it changing in the foreseeable future either.

Talking about Ethereum, I think people saw the idea they had and they loved it. Ethereum was the first smart contract, and I believe they did a really good job in presenting their idea in the right way and also their whitepaper. And moreover I don’t think most of the investors that invested in Ethereum were expecting it go this far, some of them would have seen it as a normal project, and fortunately this is where it is today and the early investors have been able to benefit from it.

Investments are risks, and you can’t tell for sure where it will be heading to in the future, so you just take the risk and with the amount of money you can afford to do with.

I agree with you that investment is a risk but risk can be minimized in such a way that it will be beneficial.
risk can be measured in probability.

1. If the probability of success is 0.9 and that of failure is 0.1, it is advisable to take such risk
2. If the probablity of failure is 0.9 and success is 0.1, then it is advisable not to take the risk.

What makes the difference is the investor's due diligence before investing.

I have no reason to learn about ICO anymore since they aren't reigning again, out very few projects still use ICO to raise fund for their new projects, IEO just makes things more easier nowadays, the success is on the exchange itself since all top exchanges have insane users and investors, I don't worry myself with ICO again

as i've seen from before some newly released project were mostly a good one if the Ethereum will have it's ICO when it was started i'll definitely investing to it. but if we are now looking at the announcements section we can see that most of the projects are trash.

That means there have been lack of innovation in the crypto space. If we have projects that truely stands out, they will achieve huge success in their ICO. I believe Defi are such outstanding projects.

At this time ICOs are no longer needed in some investment companies because of the many distrust of investors, making ICO sink in several discussions, most people talk about IEOs or DeFi Projects which are more promising than ICOs, then if there is a project that stands out developing ICO then their project is really consistent to develop it, but will people be interested in the ICO Project, of course not, because it is very difficult to give confidence to the public in ICO, which has a high risk of losing big money ..

Ethereum is not going to launch an ICO why would they, they just infuse new token or put their token in the market and people are going to buy because of their status and what they've achieved in the industry, everything that Ethereum will do will become a success, even if they are going to shift from proof of work to proof of stake, but I doubt if they are going to do a crowdfunding at this point in time.

the future challenges for ethereum are still enormous. there will be many updates and innovative steps from the developer to attract the market. we look forward to how ethereum will implement their reforms wisely to all the communities that support them.

The status of ethereum currently makes doing crowdfunding or ICO very inappropriate. i think what they need to do next is the actual Initial Public offering, where investors have stakes in the projects or any start-ups under them.

They may also consider unbundling of their products.

IPO needs a lot of requirements and it's not all of people will able to join in IPo. The only accredited investors who will be able to join in the IPO. I should remind you if ICO has been giving the more opportunity for the small investors to participated in the crowdfunding. that's why ICO has been getting a very big successful compared with IPO in crypto.

I think everyone is willing to join in ethereum ico when it can be a real story

The appeal of ethereum is smart contracts and decentralization and mining coins. Nobody expected ethereum's price to hit $ 1000 a while back when the ICO price was no more than $ 1. Maybe this is what makes investors interested in investing in new projects even though it can be called speculation

Investing on Ethereum if it will try to start an ICO will be a risky move, I guess. But knowing Ethereum for a long time, I came to love this coin, and I will risk for this coin. There are lots of ICOs that are now scams, and I am sure that if Ethereum will be an ICO again, it will be successful.

You will invest in Ethereum's ICO if it were launched today because Ethereum has already made a name. It is the most solid among thousands of altcoins. It has been occupying the spot next only to Bitcoin. But the question is, supposed you haven't known Ethereum yet or there was no Ethereum yet and then it just came out right now, would you still risk your money to it?

I doubt Ethereum would be successful if it were to hold an ICO right now. With the current reputation of the ICO market there will hardly be a project that will gather a big amount from investors. The investors are already fed up with scams and crap crypto projects.

how did we know Ethereum would become successful through it IPO?

It's simple they create their whitepaper and posted it many people see how good the Ethereum's whitepaper is and look their ANN thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-ethereum-welcome-to-the-beginning-428589 well some of the ICO's we can see have a very poor whitepaper and most of their ideas are useless.

I have another thought about the whitepaper as a parameter to determine the prospects of a project.

what if a good copywriter is employed to craft a whitepaper for a bad project. it may mislead investors. I believe there should other ways to determine the authenticity of a project by investors.

I agree here with you. If the team of the scam project hires a very good copywriter, he can create the perfect whitelist. On the contrary, even if you see that the whitelist is “rare” but you really trust the project, you can invest in it and get profit later.
