My first ICO was with metahash... about 2 years ago. My first hodl was BTC, of course. First structured deposit - gekkoin. First exchange - kucoin
I know that coin and it seems like that is a dead coin right now. I have seen when meta hash has got a big hype in the past but so many new coins have already replaced the old coin. My first ico was zilliqa and it has already performed very well too.
I never joined ICO investment. but for IEO I followed twice on the binance exchange. the harmony and cartesi project that I followed. that's just not thinking of seeing a good IEO anymore.
