So risky to invest on new project but you also need to think that nothing will happen if we just let our money sleep so if you want to invest on new project then maybe the least thing you can do is to research the team background read their white paper then see if the project owner or the team itself have capabilities to fully implement the project according to their plan. Its very rare to spot a good project now so be careful always and don't listen to people hyping the project, always think properly on your investment.
