I've been burnt so many times by good sounding projects that I haven't invested for a long time at least in any ERC20s (which are 99% scams/worthless to me or as valuable as stock options after the dot bomb crash). Innovation is definitely great but only as great and honest as the team behind it is in my opinion. Now my mission is to create a cryptocurrency that just works properly and that solves the current issues.
I am very passionate about blockchain and want to help create an ecosystem that solves the current problems and helps others and the whole industry thrive while still working with the existing coins.
Cheers!
So you lost money on projects with the wrong team or ideas? And now you want to create your own cryptocurrency

I'm thinking about some quote I saw:
WRONG = Blockchain > Which problem can we solve?GOOD = Problem > Can we use blockchain?I think you need to really understand the project begint the blockchain. What does it solve?
If it solve a real problem and it is really better then a centralized system.. it is possible you get profit.
But don't think it will be a Uber or AirBNB.. You need much more then a good idea.
Which projects did you choose?
