Topic: Will ICOs Exist In 2 Years? - page 15. (Read 1261 times)
Cryptocurrency has no limitations and ICO is good source of funds though crowdfunding as long as the projects has good products or has impact to the people there is no doubt that will boom. ICOs will still exist in 2 years if there is no regulations that will force them to stop making or producing ICOs. This is a open competitions to all developer whose ideas or dreams is in need of funding.
the main question here must will even crypto coins will exist in 2 years and if somehow they will survive I guess only 40-50 of them will be left which will cut the new ICO`s and turn them into startups who don`t sell just dream
The recent rise in ICOs indicates that there are more attention and investment in the cryptocurrencies market. The launch of ICO projects is similar to the crowdfunding model, raising capital from individuals without the need of institutional investors as before. The future of this model will be a revolutionary startup in calling for equity from individuals instead of institutional investors as at present.
There are a lot of questions to ICOs and they are still not regulated by anyone and risks to become scammed are high. Two years are not such long period, so I think in some countries ICOs will be banned or tough regulated, but there will be other countries which will stay such projects free.
Do you ever really wondered what is an ICO really? The short answer in most cases would be: "ICO is a way for everyone to gather money".
But I don't think it is that simple -in my book, the word ICO is merely a synonym for an "unlicensed security".
ICO creators are using the hype linked to blockchain technology to deceive uninformed consumers with false promises, dubious claims, and dishonest terms related to their amazing investing option.
So here is my problem - currently, there are no regulations, constraints or any form of control of ICO offerings.
After you bought your 'share' you have no control over it anymore - you have no right, forget about voting, auditing or corporate rights of any kind.
So if the ICO will fail or scam - well, tough luck and goodbye. This is not acceptable IMO, either some kind of restriction should be put in place.

Do you think Public Pre-Sales (e.g. minimum 100 ETH) or Pre-Sale Pools will even exist in 2 years?
Yes because now everyone is able to collect money, even for stupidest project someone will send money. Yes they will, but they will be more regulated, hopefully. That means no more selling of tokens straight from an ICO's website or from a forum thread, no more public crowdsales without collecting KYC/AML, and no more sales to people who are in a lower income bracket.
Yeah, great, blindly trust stranger from internet.I see more ICO's are enforcing KYC, we will see impact of that in next couple of years when people start complaining that someone used their ID's to commit a fraud.
Airdrops and other forms of loading the pot to attract more people might also not be allowed.
I don't see reason why not. 
One major factor can stop the ICO's if all ICO CEO remain honest as at the moment today i have read that some investors have complained in Germany to the German ministry about some ICO bad experience. so many others matter also effect it like demand of crypto trading and the altcoins market value.
YES definitelty, no doubt about that! as long as crypto exist in this world.
soon we will see every government are doing ICO too.

Since so many ICOs seem to be getting done privately by big institutions investors where the public needs to have connections to get in to a large minimum investment (Eg. 100 ETH+)...

Their have been spate of ICOs recently some have bought lot of value to investors while others have eroded customers wealth or are complete spam . I am though of firm belief that ICOs surely would be their as demand of Cryptocurrencies /Block chain increase day by day the only change i see would be investors would be more sensible and would be less prone to scams /frauds. Inve
ICOs operating in Niche sector and offering value for money to investors would continue to exist and prosper
I think Yes, they will be available only to accredited investors with a certain amount of money in their bank accounts.
The ICO will still exists for a long time, the potential of ICO to grow still big and new coin keep on appearing everyday, and a lot of coin also offered a new and interesting feature, but not many people want to invest too big in ICO, because ICO is a very risky investment, a lot scammer lurking around ICO, the most suitable way to sell the coin is from small investors, alot of small investors are attracted to make profit from ICO
Yes they will. Especially in those countries where the ICO will enter the legal field. There are certainly countries with an underdeveloped government that puts the sticks in the wheel, but I do not want to talk about such.
Technology has no limitations and there will be projects will be created. I thinks ICOs will exists not only 2 years but many more years because projects need funds that is why they will need investors or public to fund their projects.
Most of the time ico runs for almost 2 to 3 months and after that they evaluate it if they will continue or not. Yes some of the ico which has few supporters will continue to run ico until they rich their hard cap but if the business or project achieved their cup earlier then ico will stop and their coin will be launch in the exchange that is my opinion.
Yes but they will only be available for accredited investors with a certain amount of money in their bank accounts - That's because more and more countries are regulating ICO's.
It will be hard even for you to do an ICO because you will need a starter capital which in Russia has to be $1.7 mln - Insane right?
We need to find a way to stay above this regulations and let regular people have the opportunity to invest again in revolutionary projects.

Do you think Public Pre-Sales (e.g. minimum 100 ETH) or Pre-Sale Pools will even exist in 2 years?
It will remain, Vitalik Butterin is even doing something to improve ICO's If I'm being realistic, I don't see ICOs ever go away entirely, but the craze will move past Ethereum, that I am confident about. Ethereum will have to battle against similar platforms that might even do a better job ultimately.
I am in the same opinion as you but what platforms do you see that would possibly replace Ethereum's dominance as the standard for ICOs?
Will it have to pass the Cryptokitty test lol?
@bithodler - the same thoughts that they won't be eliminated or gone easily. And for VB, he's the lead dev for ETH and it can cut his time focusing with ETH and then jumping to another project but every innovation that want to gives convenience to every potential investor is a good move.

Good thing of this is that it allows the market to be less focused on one platform. I always welcome more competition, because it helps lowering the dominance of a certain player that rules its market with iron fist.

ICO's are doing well in the past years and up to date so I think ICO will still exist as long as people are making new projects that will seek the interest of a public investors. Cryptocurrency are just started to boom, and I hope it will continue for more years.
Some of the ICO have performed well and given good return to those investors which had invested in it. But many are such a bad ICO that are just junk or should be dumped and those types of ICO where people do invest lose their money and their faith also goes away with such ICO.
