I agree with the picture above, this is the experience I experienced last year, I was fixated on the whitepaper they made and I was stuck in it, I suffered a big loss. but that became a lesson for me, to be more careful in investing in ICO.
I also suffered losses from ICO investments. but like you, I chose to get out of a bad moment and try again to trade and return capital to invest in the market. now I am back with enough capital with daily trading which gives me more money.
I also experienced big loses in investing ICO on their early years here in bitcointalk, yes of course Im hoping and lure with a beautiful promises written in their white paper, later on I've discovered that all of my ICO token never hit the promise value even the years pass by. So today, I'll stick with trading.
