You can still use some exchange services (send bitcoin and send ETH to the address you specified) or withdraw from the exchange. But pay attention to ICOs sending the token to the address you send.
There are wallets connected like a wave, and I think they also use erc20. You can keep your wallet safe and provide enough ethereum for the gas.
ICOs do not require the address of etherium to essentially have their own blockchain and become altcoins instead of blockchain properties, they need to check their mainnet and more

depending on which ICO you are going to invest
if they do not use smart contract ethereum, Maybe yes. you do not need an ethereum address, but if you participate in an ICO using smart contract ethereum you are required to have an ethereum address

It's not possible because most ico issue tokens on ether platform because it doesn't cost much , they can set how much ever supply they want and sending the tokens to investors is also easy they just need to setup smart contract and it automatically sends the tokens to investors instantly currently no other platform offers something easier than this

I'm still trying to understand what that OP asks. why it complicates self, If he does not want to create an ETH address why not stay away from ICOs that is in the area ERC20 Although it will be difficult, as I see mostly ICO coming using ETH however not all in ETH there are still that others

Any one can answer my question?
You cannot have a definite answer to this query because most of the ICO are using Ethereum as the token creating platform and some of them are taking in coins only in Ethereum because of the ease of distribution ,it depends upon what kind of ICO you are choosing and these things change with each and every ICO .

If the ICO project is based on ETH platform then you cant do anything since they would really demand or asking your ETH address. Why would ask Waves address if the coins is Eth-based? Common sense please 
As being said above most ico now are on eth which means you would really need to give them eth address.

You should create an Ethereum address anyway. Understanding as much about blockchain tech as possible is important before investing in the space.
Most ICOs use Ethereum tokens, which require an Ethereum address, but as people mentioned some don't. Why limit yourself though?
This is the issue, why the op does not want to get an Ethereum address, may be he does not like Ethereum like many people in the forum and he prefers to not been involved with that coin at all if he can avoid it, or maybe he does not like the idea of creating an online wallet in myetherwallet.

if ico project use etherum platform smart contract
you must create ETH addres, because youre receive coin, receive token use ETH addres
without ETH addres you can't receive coin/token

WHich ICO?
Depends on if they accept BTC instead OR if they require you use their platform of choice to receive your tokens.
ie., Foodcoin, Propy, LAToken, etc...

I think! You can used other coin! Bitcoin, altcoin or other ( Waves, NXT, bitshare) but easy with EHT because this coin had smartcontract

You can, but not for those ICOs that uses ethereum smart contract for their fundraising. Some ICOs that didn't require ethereum address mostly will have their own blockchain and becoming altcoins instead of blockchain assets, and most of them take really much time just to distribute the coin because they need to test their mainnet and many more.

Yes, there are other ICO project not connected on ethereum, it is all coming by a chance that most of the ICO signature campaign are under Ethereum that's why they are asking ETh wallet.What projects are you talking about? Giga Watt, for example, accepted bank wire transfers in USD. For this, you don't need an ETH wallet. But to get your tokens, you will need ETH wallet 100%. No other way here.

Is Eth in blockchain.info ok?

Any one can answer my question?
Yes but I don't get the picture here.
Creating Etherium address will just take seconds of your life so I see it's not a hassle. Rather than asking question like that, try to create an Etherium address so it will not be too much complicated.

It depends on the coin, there are some tokens based on ETH some others based on ETC and I think some icos are coming on waves and even some other tokens require a regular bitcoin address so like you can see it depends on the token you want to get, but I do not see what is the problem with and Ethereum address you can get one very easily.

Many ico you can consider with other wallets, but mew (eth address) with erc20 is still very familiar today, we just follow the rules they use, there are still wallet that is connected like a wave, and I think they also use erc20. The important thing is you can keep your wallet safe and give enough ethereum for gas.

Yes, there are still ICOs that accept non-Ether. But if the ICO is selling ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) tokens, then you'll need an Ethereum address anyway.
Avoid token sales like ours. We will be accepting only Ethers.

You can participate in ICOs based on Waves Platform.
Yes. For example, the BeOne generosity campaign, which runs from September 7 to October 07, conducts ICO on the Waves platform and therefore a wave purse is needed.

If the coin is an Ethereum token, then to receive the tokens after the crowdsale, you'd need an Ethereum wallet address. In the case of the BannerCoin ICO (bannercoin.com) You can participate before getting an Ethereum address and payment options other than Ethereum are are accepted. Before you can receive the BCOIN tokens, you'd need to establish an Ethereum address, but it can be done after the crowdsale.
