More and more countries are planning to regulate ICOs. China, Canada, Russia,... I think this in an development nobody can stop. Do you think it is good or bad that ICOs will be more regulated in the near future? What positive and negative influences will it probably have?
I think there will be more investors like professional managed funds or even retirement funds which will invest into ICOs. The prices for ICOs will then become even more expensive and make it more difficult to make profits for small investors.
For me, I would say it's good mate. To regulate may be daunting because it can impose more requirements and burden to its users; however, on the other hand, that very same act is a means to amp up the protection that a person who ventures in ICO may get. If it's regulated, then it would add more security, which in turn, may invigorate the ICO market. I mean, these days, many have already shifted their means of business to other department of the cryptocurrency market because the ICO market is one of those markets that have been susceptible to so many losses and even scams, so it's trust rating is at an all time low.
