I would invest in ICOs only if you have lots of time to do thorough research. Good returns can be made from ICOs however most do not give an ROI and may even lose money so DYOR is vital to success. ICOs are very high risk compared to investing in already existing and proven coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Icon, VeChain.

I think Fusion will do very well when they launch in Q2. I also think Republic Protocol, We Power and Matrix will do well over the next few months.

I really like this project and will be investing. It's a big idea that may fail but if it succeeds it will help many people access financial services that could improve their lives.

I use twitter, telegram, bitcointalk, reddit, icoalerts and icodrops to find upcoming icos.

I only invest in ICOs that have a protoype/alpha/beta/working product. This demonstrates that they have already invested a good amount of time into the project and is an indication that the project is unlikely to be a scam. I also look for a good idea (infrastructure or blockchain) and a team with enough relevant experience to pull it off.

Goodluck.

I think infrastructure and blockchains will continue to do very well in 2018.

My picks for now:
ICX
MAN
FSN
REN
WAN
NAS
ABT

Altcoins are everything except Bitcoin so of course you should hold some altcoins. Altcoins are the future. There are many great projects out there (and also lots of copycat shitcoins that don't do anything). If the crypto marketcap continues to grow then there is plenty of room for quality old, new and ico coins to coexist and return good profits.

I agree with a lot of the comments so far. You have over-diversified which will limit your overall ROI. I would reduce your holdings down to around 10 coins and I would add a few solid top 20-30 coins with growth potential such as icx, etc, neo. Hang onto xrb, I think that has long term potential.

Great post! Thanks for sharing.
I've used Ian Balina's spreadsheet (RIP), Sergio's and Ohheymatty's. Will have to check out the others that have been posted.

I think Icon has a lot further to go!

My other picks are:
Arcblock
Fusion
Matrix
Repubic Protocol

I agree. I really like XSPEC and at its current marketcap it has potential for a decent ROI.

My favourite current and upcoming ICOs are:
Fusion (closes tomorrow)
Rightmesh

Fabric Token
Coinvest
Sentinel Chain

Great topic!
I've just started registering for airdrops so time will tell whether they are worth the effort. Judging by the comments in this thread it seems like most are worthless but occasionally one will do very well. It's probably impossible to tell which will take off so the best strategy is to sign up for every airdrop you come across that doesn't require shilling or giving up too much information.

My favourite current and upcoming ICOs are:
Fusion (closes tomorrow)

I really like Sentinel Chain. They are aiming to empower unbanked farmers in developing countries by turning “dead capital” such as livestock into tokenized assets. This creates financial inclusion by allowing them to access financial services (such as loans and insurance) which have typically been unavailable to them. Sentinel Chain have partnered with VeChain for "the development of cross-chain interoperable technology to facilitate joint access to global financial inclusion markets in areas of cross-border livestock trade." With a hard cap of $14.4 million the token economics are great. Plus, they have a prototype!

That would be very nice but ZOIN seems to be a long hodl away from any of those targets.
Are there any announcements coming up that could increase price?

This is an important project. Thank you for sharing. I'm very excited about its development and having the opportunity to support via the ICO.

The sooner the better. Gotta keep this momentum going!

This is solid. Thanks for sharing!
