Rule #1: Invest only what you can afford to lose.
Rule #2: Never forget about rule number 1 (cuz if you start losing and dont remind yourself about rule #1, you will get into depression real fast and it will kill you inside out)

Rule number one looks like some self excuse to shave the sheeps for that much as they can afford. Contravener perspective applied here.
By a rule of thumb there are several red flags waving around any scammy ICO. Whitepaper of course, count buzzwords. General approach of the afford. People involved, where are their faces and how do they appeal to you?
Many small signs.

yes, rule #1 is the biggest crap i have read on my entire life, "invest only what you can afford to lose"i dont think that anyone wants to lose money, so nobody has money destinated to "lose". when i have some money i dont say that 20% is just to "afford to lose".
that rule makes no sense, nobody has money to lose, everybody wanna invest and take profit, not see if you are lucky and make a 200% roi.

agree with rule #1, we had better to invest with our spare money which will not consult us even if the money all lost, loan or financing will make great loss possibly

Loans can break your neck if utilized on a short timespan. On the long run currently BTC cannot really disappoint.
The daytrader's biggest dangers are all luring around "short squeezes"
The mood point about ICOs is they are like angel investments. Looong running, possible high returns, but also high chance of digging out the duds. Totally unsuiteable for applying lent money.
