Although only the beginning, but there is a fact: summer stops them.

The development itself is also costly, but if there is money, the startup will not have an ICO, there is no need to raise funds.

Maybe this is good. People learn to choose investment objects more responsibly. This will complicate the lives of fraudsters and honest projects will be more. Although it will not be soon.

Launch of ICO needs a lot of promotion and costs a lot of money. Now many startups do not conduct ICO and prefer to use own money to development.

It turns out something like this, money is always needed, the team of specialists will not work for free.

The money invested should pay off and make a profit. If the creators are not sure that the money invested in the ICO will pay off and give impuls to the development of ICO, then they will not launch it.

These experts should not be taken seriously. But if you recall the cyclical increase in prices for BTC, then they may be right. Oncoming ATH will be in 2020, then multiple updates of ATH will be possible during 2021.

In 2018, the market fell all year and lost a lot of positions. Investors who hold a lot of cryptocurrencies have lost large amounts. Now the market has just started to recover.

To get money for development, they need a lot of money for getting money. It looks absurd. But primarily ICO existed for financial support of a project, not always a commercial project.
Not surprisingly, now the act of ICO itself is considered by many as the culmination of the project.
