I've been here for years and I can say that following the hype never works for investors, this is simply an advise.
Few examples: Synereo, Savedroid, Electroneum.
Even though these projects managed to get the money they needed and much more, they still didn't manage to deliver what they promised. Or in some cases, not even get listed in decent exchanges or give ROI back.
Cryptocurrencies are not going anywhere and there will be more and more ICOs until these things get regulated (maybe years from now). So If you're an investor and you don't want to stupidly lose your money in the process, I highly suggest everyone to start researching about the projects he's interested in instead of taking his decisions based on Tweets from McAfee, press releases, scores in Icobench, etc.
Third sources are not working for me. My personality pushes my emotions for blaming others who have effort in case of loss,so better to think based on my previous experience. The hype is good to drive the emotions till getting the best result from participants of the project but it doesn't work on a bear market, unfortunately. ROI was good motivation to be part of investor room a year ago but it is not the real case this year.
