A friend came and told me last year: Look there is an ICO with a lot of potential, some guys want to build a factory in Spain and their product will be graphene. Let’s invest in it!
Now, I’m not a scientist or a programmer or even an expert in crypto but we knew about this wonder material and we liked the idea that we can help with little money, the SciFi future to be closer. On the other hand all the other ICO’s that I invested before or after(with one more exception PayPro, but is not clear yet) were a success or at list they made it to the end with the ICO and the project (Utrust, Power Ledger, INS, NAGA, AppCoin)
We did invest 1 ETH when the price of Ethereum was around 1200$. Soon we realized that the whole ICO and Twitter activity was just a scam to get our money in the Pre-sale. They never wanted to make an successful project. They just wanted to take our ETH. Here is their address: 0x30795a541AEa7F76cEccAe7Dc5146682f6B04cD7
Someone smarter then me could take the trace of our stolen Ether.
What have we learned from this? That we should pay more attention to this ICO’s and the people will make anything to get your money. The only thing I can do now is to raise awareness with this type of articles.
So even if is an idea that you love, you have to be a businessman in the moment of investment and take the decision with your brain not with your heart!

I used as example, those coins because they were successful ICO's, but what they were doing in the moment of your reply... is just the universe, man! :)))
I just wanted to let people know, from my experience, that you really have to make your research like a pro.
I also named them, because,I think, they should be named!

I have spelled a word wrong and I don't know how to edit the post after 7 days. The word is "least" not "list".
