ico in 2021 is also still dangerous in my opinion. many scammers who create ico and inconsistent. we must be vigilant and careful with such a project or we will lose our assets because of the scammer.
I think it's better to choose another investment than investing in the currently available ICO, but it's risky
I still prefer ICO to NFTs I don't know why, I have profited from ICO in the past which made me build confidence in them but NFTs is a new wave that could go wrong in many cases. I will buy more of new ICO coins than buying NFTs at the moment.
I can understand where you are coming from, NFTs are a bunch of images that have no utility and that at the end of the day are not really yours, so I can understand why you would prefer something more solid that is actually trying to achieve something, but I think the moment of icos is over, the community was all over them in 2017 but after so many scams the community has grown skeptical and as such I do not think there are many projects worth your time coming in the form of icos anymore.
