You are not alone. There are still people out there who also has an experiences the same way you are experiencing now. I have proven that experience is the best teacher mostly in the field of joining ICO's.
Have you ever thought about the fact that looking over a day 10 or more ICO's you become smarter and more experienced?
Of course, seeing a lot of it each day will thought you to become more knowledgeable about ICO's but not more experienced enough, if you haven't participate on them, yet.
- you start to notice the same sites, but different projects. You don't even read what the project is about, as the pattern has already been seen many times. And this indicates a potential scam.
This is actually the main problem here, amongst us. And I admit that I have been scammed, once. Yes, I can sense that their project was a totally absurd but then I give them a chance to prove that their platforms will then be successful, and I was wrong and still got scammed.
- you already see badly made photo of developers without links to personal profiles and just do not read further.
We've missed the reading part which conflicts in the future. Reading is a must to see further suspicious acts.
- you see the hidden potential, if something attracts you. You see some kind of innovative approach. You are surprised that you have not seen this before. And only after that start to study more deeply.
I think that this is an experience.
Even if we can foresight the potential of an ICO, at the end of their projects, we rarely see the real successful one. FYI, there's a thousands of ICO's that are being developed but only 10% were successful.
Having an experienced will make us more vigilant, more wiser, more cautious and our past experiences will make us realized that we cannot trust an ICO that easily. Studying their websites, projects and reading their ANN whitepaper will somehow help us to further understand their purpose behind it.
With that, we are still lucky enough to experience those which made our individuality sturdy.
