As you all know that 90% of ICOs this year was a totally loss. most of all the tokens that hit the market are trading below price. some of catastrophic. some are trading below 90% to 95% of their list price. Majority of ICOs this days have has decided to run token sales on Exchanges. as the year comes to an End, Could there be another means of raising fund for tokens come 2019.?
ICOs are a just a way for money hungry people to get rich .They work hard on creating the best ICO ( as far as the crowdsale is going ) then completely abandoning their project once the Funds stops pouring . As you said 90% to 95% of them fail , so that's a huge red flag for anyone to not participate on any of these hyped up ICOs and if you decide to participate , you should have full knowledge about the background of the people behinde the project.
I guess the best way to raise funds for these projects ,is to open crowdsale only after having a running product as a proof . Yes It's gonna need an an investment from them , but if they believe in their project they are going to spend their money on it before you spend yours.
