I am one of those who would love to invest in ICO projects in the first stage. I missed quite a few good projects just because of the fear and lack of knowledge to evaluate the project in the early days of understanding the market. Investing in an ICO is a wise choice but requires persistence and trust in yourself
Investing in ICO is really a good way to make money, but you need to carefully study projects for your investments. Beginners very often can come across scammers because they do not want to spend enough time to analyze the project.
Although there is a possibility to happen, then it is better to be seek advise and take look the entire ICO project before getting in. Though it won't be necessary to check the background of all members, but say to it that members are very active to answers all queries about their project.
