You should consider what field or industry your ICO projects are relying on. For example if you are developing a project to improve supply chain or logistic management, you should seek for experienced supply chain company CEO or managers whom they have the most comprehensive logistic structure and understand in what areas are needed to be improved, how to be improved in order to create a better supply chain environment.

We cannot guarantee that every ICO are good or not, every action does take risk in this market. Yes it is up to you but you can have a considerate and critical analysis by yourself before you make any decision. Simple like how the ICO presenting their idea in the whitepaper in a well-organised manner and secure evidence to support the technology while it can be bring for you. Basic support is from how you think that the idea is really possible to give our world a little changes, regardless of its benefits from monetary angle.
Definitely you can also see the community activeness and people's review and comment on their project to know that the possibility of this project to be successful.

Definitely. Although at the moment there is not any significant project introducing the protection of environment, but I think the tech like logistic tracking system is a similar one. The government can check regularly on the polluted area, trace back to which factory might be producing very heavy or unnecessary pollution.

Obviously the project idea is the most important first. In a good whitepaper, it should be presenting their idea with secure evidence which to convince reader about how this blockchain project can bring benefits, indicating the pros and cons to the stated problem, when it is with or without blockchain technology.

It is a important criteria to understand that not all problems or projects are necessary can be done perfectly under blockchain technology, think precise and concise. You may then also check their community build up to see their idea sharing, interaction with potential investors.

I think you can take a look on IBM's site, as I remember they have a basic introduction on blockchain on logistic industry. You may also visit website of skuchain, they introduced like popcodes to be used in logistic industry.

I think that hiring someone to write the ICO whitepaper may not be worse, yes definitely the ICO projects must be fully understand and known by the project owner or the team, but I have realized that sometimes people that they are very good at development might not be good at doing expressing ideas by word, while a person helping your team to review once more may can also return you some possible problems and reasonable feedbacks.

Blockchain is one of the important technologies right now, I believe it is worth to invest it. As a newbie, guess you may first make some research first about how crypto is related to the blockchain. Different ICOs are developing their own blockchain technology, no matter for application, for privacy, for transaction, etc. They offer different functions that to improve our live in some way. If you are also interested to know more about the current trading, you may search for which exchange is good, while you should not put a huge amount of capital as initial investment amount, it might be risky. Observe more, ask more.

High IQ doesn't directly mean that this person can predict what is happening next, not even in trading.
In trading, we can never tell when the market will turn good or bad, it is affected by many aspects like political, economy or the company's problem or news that affect their stock price. Even those experienced trader, they cannot predict what is going to happen next too.
I may say, higher IQ can help a person gain success in trading in faster. They may find faster and easier about the knowledge on trading.

I believe that you have read a news about 80% of ICO encountered failure, but we cannot guarantee that these 80% are all scam.
First we have to understand failure has a few aspects to consider, like capital, support, similarity, uncertain / unexpected risk happened.

A very basic method to check if the ICO project is a scam, by checking the whitepaper, whether there is only description or have sufficient data to support, does the whitepaper got a very comprehensive analysis and data to support its' project? You may even find that the whitepaper you are viewing may be a duplicate one from another project, if this happen, it might be a scam. Sometimes, the project advisors are also a important factor.

If there is a very unique and convincing project to you, and you can see the team is working very hard to build the social media for potential investors, it basically worth your support. Some projects happened to be working well and hard but then they receive a very limited capital and lead to failure. This blockchain market is not under a very mature stage, we also do not hope to see failure or any not useful projects existing too.
