First, your post is posted in the wrong section.
Second, most ICO projects are just hype, which is why countries are adopting laws to restrict ICO.
sorry...
new to the forum... what section should it go under? ill try to move it
You can move it in altcoin discussion.
A lot of projects right now are scam. We cannot avoid scam and failed ICO. They are always here, waiting to bait someone else. And the best thing to do is to know deeply about the project, developers and roadmap of the ICO you want to participate. In order to prevent totally scam, atleast you have 60% of assurance that the project you've chose is legit.
