Yeah ICO is alive. Not all ICO project turn to scam, we just have to be careful in choosing ICO project to invest. Many ICO are successful and one of them is Binance, their have great team and good platform. All of them make their tokens so valuable and become a profitable investment.
I agree on that, we need to choose the ICO project. Analyze first the content of the project if it is possible. Do some research on the core members, check I'd it is legitimate.
