I never understood why cryptotraders and exchanges support ICO's, my reasoning is this: An ICO gets funded, then they do what, they SELL the BTC they raised for fiat and push the price dive on BTC, thus taking all those BTC out of the trade environment, anyone thinking that an ICO would reinvest into the exchange is naive. This hurts everyone, even the exchanges. You might say "Well the exchanges get fee's on ico" well that is true, but they are losing all future potential fee's on those coins, if they had continued trade on the market.
So in Short - ICO's are killing Bitcoin and CryptoMarkets.
ICOs had helps bitcoin to spread cryptocurrency to the whole world as more and more money will flow to the crypto market. The more money in the crypto market will be advantage on bitcoin. People will buy and sell bitcoin due to the pairing at exchanges as they can't convert directly into fiat from their token.
