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?
Actually, gone are the days you judge the success of a project by its ability to reach Hardcap. Even sparkster reached its ICO sale Hardcap but did x-100 on listing on IDEX and it was delisted in less than two weeks. I belive the team makeup, as well as token allocation has alot to more offer towards the success of any project in my opinion
