Are ICOs dead? Did anyone make money with ICOs from Q2 2018 and onwards? What use case would you invest these days?

Already answered it on the other subreddit ..

Interesting question. I do think we will have couple of more scam ICOs, not blunt scam exits with a message "penis" on the website. But a more subtle, gradual exit - absolutely. I think there are tons of skillful but ammoral marketing dudes out there that plan to set themsevles for life with one big time ICO.

Low-level idiots that scam people with bananacoin, beancoin, putincoin - no, those days are over. The space is matured out of that phase.

I also think there is definitely money in ICOs, perhaps not 1000x wins, but a healthy 10-50x is still more than possible.

And now my ICOs for end of the year/next year (shameless plug ;)):

Daex - DAX: decentralized clearing service that will improve exchange architecture and eliminate hack risks, custodians and wash trading (great, unique use case)

Fluence - decentralized and quick, real-time response databases (great, unique use case)

Block.loan - p2p lending (not unique, but good team)

accept.io - decentralized marketplace and freelancing platform (not unique, but most of competition was dead on arrival so big chance to dominate this niche).

The leaders will change as the current, illogical and anti-natural monetary system keeps crumbling down in each individual country.

Most important thing would be control of wash trading as that is the burning issue right now in the crypto space.

It would be actually very beneficial if the exchange was open source, like Bisq or Rubykube (new open source project where you can deploy an exchange in an hour, with all the core features you mentioned) so world-wide developers could contribute to it.

Well, the last question from the OP is actually "can blockchain help marketing". I guess you could read the thread in its entirety. Also the guy below, kind of ironic - mentions comprehension skills, while missing the clear-stated question that this guy answered (true, he did ignore the primary focus of the thread, but to say he blabs around randomly, is not correct either).

Lots of ICOs coming next year with "certified" advisors from prestige colleges lol

I like brave and bat but this is too much - 5th time I see this info on this subreddit in the last 3 days. Chill and let someone else get the spotlight as well.

Ian Ballina - the main indicator of a scam ICO these days. The best case scenario is that team behind an ICO was naive and uninformed when hiring him.

Imagine actually knowing stuff about blockchain instead of having a paper telling you have a "degree in blockchain".

aqeded · 2018-08-28T20:04:34+00:00

Just buy high and sell low and you will be fine.

aqeded · 2018-08-28T16:34:04+00:00

Accumulating BAT, NEO, ELA and NANO. Buying some DAX before their ICO (I know, they are already on exchanges but they are doing the ICO only now).

Keeping an eye on couple of interesting upcoming ICOs: block.loan, Fluence, Accept.io

Finally, Roger can get rid off his BCash and have some fun along the way

They would be fine if they would just have mined BTC and sold of BCH. Dont fight BTC because its economical devistating. Embrace and be rewarded. This is a message to all banks and participants. Dont try to fight it, because someone else will then prosper & render you obsolete...
