Everybody, newcomers even more so should have some bitcoin and other top altcoins before going into the riskier area of ICOs. Invest only small amount in any ICOs.
That's quite reasonable. Before entering in the risky life of ICO, we better do some investment in bitcoin and some altcoins. When we're ready, then just begin the ICO investment. Don't put much money in ICO because some ICOs become a shit. Do research carefully about the ICO we wanna join in.
