2017 was the year of ICO (Initial Coin Offering). Speaking numerically, over five billion dollars were raised by the 900+ ICOs launched in 2017. However, less than 50 percent of these ICOs were actually successful. The reason – well, it could be a flawed product or flawed marketing, but even a great product is bound to fail without the support of an ace marketing strategy, isn’t it?
