Saw this study on twitter... https://twitter.com/Zeex_me/status/978981735101878272

I've seen a lot of people asking about how many legit ICOs there are, so I thought I'd share

Quote from the article: "The study begins by breaking down ICOs into 6 groups: Scam, Failed, Gone Dead, Dwindling, Promising, Successful. On the basis of the above classification, they wrote, we found that approximately 81% of ICOs were Scams, ~6% Failed, ~5% had Gone Dead, and ~8% went on to trade on a exchange.

"Scams were defined by researchers as Any project that expressed availability of [an] ICO investment (through a website publishing, ANN thread, or social media posting with a contribution address), did not have/had no intention of fulfilling project development duties with the funds, and/or was deemed by the community (message boards, website or other online information) to be a scam.

DYOR people ...

This once again confirms that if you decide to participate in the ICO, you need to very carefully choose projects. A good analysis of the project will reduce the risk to a minimum.
