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.
If it isnregulated it won't be decentralized anymore. What we must do as an investor is to be responsible and review an ICO and it's legitimacy for us to avoid getting scammed and supporting scam projects.
Imagine, even a scam ICO takes their time and effort to conduct an ICO, web-design, fake white-paper, advertisement, bounty, announcements and etc. If no people are doing what they must, this scam developers will not even get a penny and would've wasted their time and effort. The possibility of them making another scam ICO with different names and scheme would be less likely to occur if they get no support from lazy investors.
