They are not so alive, they are dying whether you like it or not. Many of them are still shit. Becoming scams after they have profited from the investors and bounty hunters who have helped them gain more before running away.
You're right. ICO is not yet dead, but like only to change destination and become a scam in disguise. A lot of the fact that we have received in 2018 and beginning of 2019 many projects that stolen investors money with a variety of many reasons and when the investor asked the clarity of the project they just reasoned that does not know the end will be where. ICO is no longer promising in this time so we have to be more careful.
