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.
Good advice its true some project have nice and a lot of beuatiful promisis from thr roadmap and whitepaper so interesting but its right to avoid losing money study and investigate well the project.
Regarding to the hype this trend will easy to convince people investing in crypto example of this is way 2017 ath. The lesson is do not llisten and follow to expert just research your own make decision for ourselves.
