The only way to avoid the ICO Project Scam is to do analysis. We can do analysis by searching for information on various websites and forums. Besides that, following various developments in information in a community can help us monitor what points will help the project develop.
When there is something suspicious then we should avoid the ICO project, keep the assets we have and it will help us to get closer to success.
Analysis for each project is a good idea at this time because any project will be very risky and can cause you to lose a lot of assets in a short time. I personally believe that investing in ICO projects is not the best time choice and you should go back in 2019 because the opportunity to make a profit is higher.
I think I will take part in ICO if it is permitted by government agencies such as SEC.
