So you're suggesting to buy some coin/token while it's on ICO price? We all know that buying those "LOW MARKETCAP PROJECTS" is just nonsense. I only trust these coins/tokens:
BTC ,
ETH ,
XRP ,
LTC ,
BCH .
True, now that kind of thing doesn't make sense anymore because the ICO project doesn't have a good enthusiast in crypto, so the risk is much bigger if someone buys it, so it's clear in this respect that trusting these coins / tokens: BTC, ETH, XRP , LTC, BCH are very sensible things.
I really think that the best course of action is not to buy at the ICO price but not also ignore them completely neither. I mean at the end of the day we are talking about crypto here and you do not know which one is legit and which one is scam so you shouldn't really think that all of them are bad suddenly and give it up.
I personally think that if you check each coin at the pre-sale prices you will find some that are good. I found some just this month for example and I invested to it few months ago but it came out on the uniswap this week and it worths a decent amount of money, unfortunately I invested just 10 bucks so I didn't made a good return, but having 3x return means if someone invested 1000 dollars they would have gotten 3000 dollars back in just one month because some coins are just good. I am not saying invest into all of them, just do not ignore them.
