Dear all,
My understanding of ICOs didnt feel complete without participating in the process. Soon, I opened a Coinbase account and invested a few thousand dollars to see how the system works. I subscribed to crypto newsletters and ICO alerts. In the next few months, I participated, sometimes successfully and sometimes not so much, in a few ICOs.
Thanks,
Opening an account in Coinbase and getting a centralized wallet there to receive the ERC20 tokens from ICO projects is the worst choice. Get yourself a free decentralized wallet address which you own the private keys like MEW wallet for example.
Also take your careful time studying the project before investing, not all ICO projects are going to success and there are many scam projects.
