Even after the onset of the bear market in January 2018, ICOs were still happening at a rate
of well over a hundred each month, but by 2019 the flow of projects had dwindled to almost nothing.
ICO PROCEEDS DROP TO $338M..According to figures from cryptocurrency analytics firm LongHash and published on October 1,
ICOs are no longer profitable. They may even disappear completely in 2020, said researchers.

Is this just smoke and mirrors or does this forum know something researchers do not? I can say the chart from longhash is correct looking at the situation of ICOs presently. Majority of ICO investors lost trust completely on that pattern of token sale, patronizing new projects with more robust crowdfunding strategy like IEO on reputable exchanges. I can say ICOs are extinct, any new project using that format clearly are not up to date or maybe "sailing an ocean with no focus".
