I don't invest in icos. I simply decide to trade or hodl them depending on how good or bad they perform in the markets. The problem with ICOs is that they tend to give to bonuses to their investors who are bound to dump those tokens in the near future, once they launch on exchanges. Also, a lot of projects have very bad marketing teams. Let's be sincere here, a project with bad marketing is bound to fail. most projects that succeeded in the markets now where hyped. No matter good a project is, it will still not get its rightful place in the markets if there is no hype around it.

What I think about ICOs is that only those that truly want to use the tokens and those that are willing to invest long-term, should buy into ICOs. It would be a really bad idea for someone to buy into an ico, hoping for short-term because they will most likely not get it.

Most investors ( especially the large ones) don't invest for short-term gains. they would have done large research on a project before investing in it. a good idea would be to target the projects where those large angel investors put their money. that way, we can be sure that we are putting our money in a place that has been proven by great investors.
