Since the development of MLM, Lending and the second half of last year, causing the price of Eth to rise and then leave a huge impact, Eth is drastically reduced. Not only that, the market Crytopia increasingly gloomy on no sign uptrend back. Some good ICOs project is hard to keep the price after opening exchange in the market, even there are countless ICO projects Scam, team DEV is not actively developing after the listing on the market. If still road live for ICO or not?
The market is pretty down this time around and like you said there are lots of scam ICO that we need to avoid and people are being careful these days, but there are still ways you can identify ICO that are not scam, so if you see any good you should go ahead and invest in it. And very soon I believe the market will rise again.
The way that defines ico is not scam is just relative, there is nothing to guarantee and the potential of ico has not been as good as in the past, it will not bring too much profit, I see most altcoin succeeded from ico always lose a very fast price after it listed. Although somewhere in the ico still has good ico and the value has been rising but you should know that the rate is very low, that made great pictures of ico in my mind have disappeared, instead, it's just a suspicion and disappointment
