Nowadays maximum ICO projects is a scam. In my opinion, If you want to invest in a crypto project, Deposit your Bitcoin/Ethereum in the best exchanger like Binance, OKEx,
Bitfinex etc.
scroll

view a day or weekly chart if you see the market going uptrend from the bottom like this picture buy and hold it. I think its better then ICO investment.
http://prntscr.com/lzf5xdVery valid point. Most ICO projects I have seen all come through the gate with high expectations and price only to jump of the cliff and drop like a rock. Keeping that in mind, it is a choice of fundraising by the developers behind it.
I agree with you Sarah, watch the project, see what it is doing, do your research and take your time. Look at your personal goals. Are you only looking for a short term (3-5day) investment? or something longer term? If your going for long term, what is another weeks wait? Take the time to fully look at the project, it's goals, roadmap, whitepaper, team, community.
I know many will say this, it's repeated often but yet so many actually take the advice or fully look at what they are about to do with their money. Be safe, invest responsibly.
