"Why we need to end the practice of ICOs. Why the "ICO" model is stupid and the ICD is better"

SO many coming out. time to upgrade the discernment skills. some definitely are legit, alot semi-sketchy. in all likelihood, there are telltale signs as to which may be good investments and which may be better to stay away from. (but even then, it's hard to tell sometimes, as traders don't always follow investment logic). personally, I'm only considering ICOs with simple, powerful value propositions at this point - forgetting about the marketing hype and focusing on whether I'd feel good having them as part of a long-term portfolio, supporting them morally as much as financially. I may still be pretty new in the investment game, but that strategy has seemed to prove better so far than earlier investments where I was merely buying marketing hype and going for the profits...
