There are many ICOs out there, but more than 50% of them fail.
From my analogy, could this be the reasons why ICOs fail?
1. Being too complicated:
If you want investors to favour your ICO, make sure they understand your coin offering. Be concise yet interesting, creative yet not too techy and try to explain concepts from scratch. Of course, the detail you go into is likely to depend on your target audience.
2. No unique Use case and lack of creativity:
The reality is, ICOs are not straightforward and with new ideas and concepts arising daily, you need to get noticed and that means coming up with some unique Use case
So, before a developer even attempts to launch an ICO or enter the crypto world, ask yourself: "What will make investors choose this particular ICO over a competitors ICO?"
I believe the list continues.
The reasons for the failures are many. Initially, this is the commitment of the team to develop their project. The usefulness of the product for users and the relevance of the application. A strong community and a transparent, honest proposal of founders to investors. Further, the competence of developers and a specific thought-out development plan.
