What platforms or websites do you use to track projects before your ICO? And what criteria do you use to invest in them?
During the crazy days of altcoins which was around 2015-2017 ICO tracking sites became very popular where they used to list upcoming, running and closed coin offerings and there used to be tabulated info about the projects. There also used to be a review and a personalised rating given to each of these ICOs from the site itself.
What they lacked is transparency and legitimacy - these sites used to be paid by ICO teams to hype their projects and get "premium" tags on their website so as to get attention from the incoming traffic.
Hence never use such sites to drive your investments. Do your own research and by own I mean initiated by you, not available elsewhere like questioning the advisors on linkedin yourself. Only then you will get to know how many are just pumped by these advisors and how many are only faking about their advisors.
