The theme of ICOs has definetely lost that 2017 hype as the whole crypto market is in decline. But, in general, I still perceive it pretty positively as the total amount of investment in ICOs is growing.
Yeah, but its due to the price drop of bitcoin I think. In general ICO's are still still blooming right now the trend is to solve current problems we are encountering right now. For example is the scaling problem in token economy. I hope this can be solve by menlo, an ICO that I'm currently following.
Despite the crypto ad in your post
I can totally agree with you and the token economy problem. A lot of projects are great ideas, but there is no sulution for participants who want to earn money thanks to rising price.
