Here’s the 2018 ICO summary so far: • 193 ICOs • $6,149,020,132 raised funds • A bit more than 3 and a half months It’s also an interesting fact that Blockchain startups have raised more funds in Q1 2018 than the whole of 2016-17. And it always make me smile when people say “99% of ICOs are scam…” Well, just look at the charts. Telegram alone raised $1,700,000,000. Isn’t that stunning? Currently the dominant categories are Trading, Investing and Financial services, and the Communications sector… But I’m pretty sure ICOs will make their way to every kind of services we are aware of, with increasingly secure and innovative solutions. The future is very bright! :) https://lnkd.in/eNNvm9K #blockchain #crypto #ico #2018ico #Telegram

When people say 99% ICOs are scams, they are either making self-serving statements or are just consoling themselves for missing another good investment opportunity which was right in front of their eyes.

The 99% thing makes me smile too. It's just not true. A fictional statistic. 75% of all statistics are made up.

Szia Matyas :) Yes, the first quarter figures are impressive, I agree. However, if you look at the April figures, 350 is funded on the 21st of April. Assuming that the funding amount is increasing linearly, the estimated funded amount in April could stop around 500-550 k, which is one-third of Jan and Feb and one-sixth of March figures. What could be the reason, what do you think? It cannot be seasonality. If you look at 2017, the funded amount jumped 4 times from March to April, which had been the biggest increase from one month to another during these two years. Could this be only a one-time event?

Szia Csaba, your earlier post on this subject sums things up – that what was happening with Internet companies around 2000 is similar to the present situation – there is a lot of volatility and as yet it’s difficult to demonstrate an absolutely rock solid trend. However the figures are encouraging overall. I agree that it probably isn’t a question of seasonality, so what other factors are in play? One of the biggest must surely be the whole question of regulation, with different governments and agencies taking different approaches. Serious ICOs and Investors welcome the regulation of crypto markets, but until there are really clear guidelines, it’s my belief that a lot of players are holding back. The rollercoaster ride in the value of some cryptocurrencies also means that caution is the current watchword. For me though – I’ll stick with my contention that the story-so-far indicates a bright future.

It is overall good to see a positive trend and proof that the industry is beginning to show maturity. It is also a big concern that a few of them are taking the lion's share. Entreprenushhip is very active across the globe but vast majority of these innovations are bootstrapped and fail to attract Capital. (edited)

I believe we will see more external and self regulation kick in this year. This will help weed out many scams. Blockchain is a financial technology (ledger), which means every business will be affected by it.

Something else interesting here, look at the spread across the different segments and numbers per each. The newer segments imply (prove?) the broadening applications. I'd like to see the quantity per sector changes over the course of the next year or two as some mature, prove effective and gain traction based on their capability; and as sector usage expands or contracts as these offerings become applied and relied upon for the data they afford (as in supply-chain) to improve's user businesses.

There are many scams in last few months, that number would continue to grow. And yes we got so much shitty ideas that dont have any reasons to be on blockchain. But if you do good research and spend time learning, and if you go early into projects, you can find gems. And thats the problem with 90% people which are investing in cryptocurrency, they dont do enough research, they wanna get rich over night. They talk trash about projects depending on the value and gains, not quality of the project, and so on, I could talk about this for days... (edited)
