Sure 2017 was not the same as 2018 for ICO. In 2017 there was a bull market pumping everything up. As for now we have got BTC decrease, several ICO bans and unclear perspectives of crypto advertisement.
That's make sence.
I agree to this year indeed that I also feel every ICO is different in 2017 and now 2018, almost every ICO is successful, unlike the years now many ICO's fail or lack of achievement in soft caps, but hopefully it's great for future of ICO in the coming year.
