ICO is not a guarantee that the project will be successful, because most ICO projects are still limited to concepts and do not have clear references,
but projects that don't make ICO or premine are usually serious and good projects.
and I also agree on this, what about your opinion?
It is a truth that attaining the hard cap is not a guarantee that the project will be successful on the long run. There have been so many projects that did a very successful ICO and yet they still struggle.
