this is my own opinion but it may help others.
I have found that all the ICOs i have invested in have launched at almost the ICO price but in a few days dipped below the ICO prices by half or 5X for some.
With this i have discovered its better not to invest in an ICO but wait for the launch and the DIP to buy it at the corrected prices made by market forces.
Its just too hard to tell the real or recommended value of a token in an ICO these days.
Hope this helps to the new investors thinking of ICOs
That is true, Many project that opening an ICO during 2018 is totally different with the condition in 2017. Also there are more scam project occur in 2018.
Everyone need to be really cautious about the condition this year, so we won't get scammed.
