I have been in the industry for quite a long time, I follow it almost every day and, I think, I am quite experienced in this subject. Recently, I am not investing in ico at all.
It is better to choose a coin that has its own network, mineable and community driven.
It should be decentralized enough, as transparent and honest with its community as possible, and, of course, highly technological.
TAU (True asset unit) and Veil coins is my choices for 2019.
