It's a difficult market to judge at times. There are some amazing ICOs out there to invest in, and of course, plenty of scams too.

It's a shame when a seemingly legitimate ICO is brought into disrepute because some shady characters want to steal funds or information from people.

I'm glad it's not put you off in the long term, but it's definitely something to be careful about. You're right, people are looking for the next big thing, and they'll get burned it they're not careful.
