Hello guys! I'm not an expert. But I am going to "totally in" into this idea blindly, because I believe in Bitcointalk and they endorsed this ICO. Thank you to Bitcointalk management/admin team for giving me such opportunity to join an ICO with faith.
I agree with the the statement that you mentioned but I don't think that blindly going in for it is the best option.
You are funny, you can not believe only the forum, you need to analyze the project well, read reviews and watch ratings before investing.
An individual analysis is yes highly recommended before we choose a project to proceed investing however ratings and reviews is 2% we seek as we believe in project white papers, management approach, road map which is top priority and such deployment activities confirms project potential.
