Do research like a real investor. Otherwise you are just a gambler.
The one answer that will be repeated multiple times is also the most logical one: Lots and lots of research.
This is sage advice, but is it wrong if this forum member seeks the forum community comment as part of that research process?
If we're going to respond, let's offer some real help. If you can only respond with "do research" you don't have anything to add to the thread.
That is true, but what will the real help be? Participate in helping the OP with every research on all current ICO's?
I get what you are trying to say, don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that giving useful advice is better then just wasting 'forum space', but besides stating the obvious and telling the main key aspects to look at, there is not that more much you can do. If you want to get more information about a particular coin/token/ico, you will need to check that whitepaper, community, project and all that and there is not that much more you can help with.
The simple difference between your post and mine (and possibly even odolvlodo's post), is context and beauty of the explanation. But the mere facts of the posts are absolutely one and the same.
