Lucky you don't have control as to "allow women" to pursue the crypto world . Everyone has a unique skill or attribute they can bring to any scenario. 

Don't underestimate, rather inspire, educate and welcome all into the crypto revolution

You may want to question his motives for saying that... it's quite common for those with influence, or the media to install FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) so that they can profit from all that respect their opinions naivety. When everybody sells out of fear, no doubt they will there ready to pounce and buy back in at the lowest point.

Happy Bounty hunting! 

There are definitely some quality ICOs on the market. Like most of the people here have said just don't jump into anything too quickly.  Ensure you are confident that the coin is something that will be used long term...that it is filling a void or providing a solution to a common problem or improving the way we do things now.  A few great examples are Rentberry, Concierge and NEO. These are projects that have or will improve a current marketplace, platform and/or transaction of money.

Look into their team (that they are legit & have relevant experience), roadmap, social community and quality of content, marketing, website, product or service, how much support they have from VC and public so far.

There are some really amazing ICOs out there! Best of luck finding them if you do decide to invest some of your Bitcoin. 

icoSource ICO listing site gives you the information you need to make smart investments at https://icosource.io

Quit simply you can tell if a crypto or ICO is profitable if the pre-sales/crowd-sales have sold out and there is significant VC raised. Therefore a lot of support and faith from people who are putting their hard earned money into it.  Look into who are their biggest backers and what success and experience they have, as their judgment is highly valuable if they are successful in business. Also obviously a project which is quite established in its product or service...already tried and tested and optimally already being used! 

It's also really important the coin/project is practicable and something you can see being used now and in the future.

We have an ICO listing page at https://icoSource.io with some quality upcoming ICO's and bounty programs you can check out: https://icosource.io/ico-bounties/

Good luck!
