of course you would expect such fabricated results from a website that its whole existence purpose is to advertise ICOs and live off of them! otherwise such stats would have been closer to reality 2 years ago where the ICO hype was still ongoing not like now that it is already dead and gone. nowadays people either don't know what ICOs are or if they know about them they also know how scammy they are.
The survey is not made by InitialCoinList.com but by
https://lendedu.com/Also, have you seen binance launchpad?
The ICO hype was the same as the crypto hype in general.. The current slowdown is no different than the current global cryptocurrency state..
ICO is not dead and it won't be for a while.
first of all you say LendEDU as if it is a reliable source for this type of surveys! well it is not.
secondly what you are failing to mention in your own website (the article that was published by you on Match 2019) and this topic (which is again in 2019) is that the survey result was published in October 2017 which means it was conducted right in the middle of the ICO hype in 2017! NOT 2019. that hype my friend is dead and is never coming back.
if you do the same survey today the percentage is going to be closer to 0
before all this the same hype was going on with premined shitcoins. and in the future there will be new hype like there always is, in a different form with a different type of scams. they are trying to push STOs but they are failing because they are exactly the same as ICO and people aren't going for them.
