Indeed. Asking and clearing of questions and doubt is always necessary to ensure that you have invested in the right ICO project. One must ask questions to the team on twitter or telegram group about their development, their vision, their soft cap and whether they are arranging bounty campaigns or other activities for promotion. Also keep yourself updated about the project by asking questions about their work and progress.

In my opinion there should be a regulating authority that sees over ICO, hell any new coin in fact. There are way too many scams going around and imo it causing a bad name for crypto. Ive seen 2 coins (i invested in both, luckily didnt loose much) where the dev's have disappeared within 2-3 months.

As of my preview of those ICO. I always check their Personality background, Company Profile, and Innovation of projects which is very important and how it will sustain the company in the long run. Soft cap and Hard cap is not issue for me as long as they have the working products.

It is better to monitor several sources of information, but in my opinion the most useful source of information is the project's telegram channel.

Never read it to be honest...too much info everywhere, I somehow just trust they wont cheat me I know this is probably not the best approach...

I think road map and dev team. If they have a good dev team, I think the product will be good. Ico is right with the roadmap outlined, the ico is high possibility is good.

Like the colleagues said here; I also think that the most of the investors ain't looking at the agreement which is actually very well written in some cases. Investors are in most cases just seeing the possible profit which is causing the actual agreements forgotten.

Many of the investors still have a lot to learn in the knowledge field but they choose to follow the big investors which have big reputation ad their investment is more important to the common investor then the legal agreement is.

People should be more educated in that field and I am very glad that you have started this topic. Maybe your thread will open the eyes of some investors and make them think rationally before investment.

This is very interesting. I'll keep you in mind when choosing the next investment project

First I will look at the project itself, then
1.read whitepaper
2. check the team (good project should have strong team!)
3. check rating websites

Basically, I follow the telegram channel and the project's twitter, there the actual information about the project appears first of all. Often I follow the news about the project from other sources of information, sometimes it is very useful.
