I find that 2018 and 2019 is just heavily moving away from the open public ico's and seems to have a huge shift toward institutional and private sales which i think is good for the project but really does shrink the chances for the small guys getting into big projects at good rates early
The exchange is am open place where anyone could get tokens however it could go for even higher value compared to what is obtained during the ICO phase. I'm up for whatever brings in the much needed success to the project
