that in the past ICO projects performed very well if they used ERC20 tokens or projects built on established platforms. because it has the potential to grow well and reduce risk when compared to creating new technology. but now on the contrary I don't see ICO functioning properly even though it's built on an existing platform like ERC20.
I will not blame the platform because the platform has been built in such a way, but I will blame the developer, Why? because most developers have misused this for crypto schemes to get rich and most project failures are based on the background of developers who do not have extensive knowledge and deliberately tarnish the ICO project's bad image.
Indeed, the developers are the key persons why the project fail. But it's not always because they do not have extensive knowledge about ERC20. Those projects are created to fail. They were developed just to raise funds and then after days of dancing in this circus, those clowns will run away with the investor's money. They really did a number in the reputation of alts and the impact of what happened last year is still fresh in this industry.
