What do you guys think of the current ICO's rating system? Are you satisfied/happy? Do you think it reflects the real projects value? Does it help you to find right ICO's to invest to? What do you think about experts (even very well known ones) who provide corrupted ratings?
There are way too many questions. Let's discuss)
If you are talking about the rating websites which we see like everyone getting a 4+ rating these days, I find them utter useless.
Being in bitcointalk, we all know about bounties and content creation, over the time, we have seen special bounties, which includes such rating website to review there ICO with high stars.
These rating websites just get good bounty payouts for rating the ICOs high on there platform, and hence there is no possible way to trust there scores anymore.
Talking about experts like Ian shillina and others, they just use there influencing power in the projects to which they are linked to. I personally dont target any of them, but a lot of shill just make a shitty ICO well funded.
Doing research on ICO is an individual task before investing it IN. Look out for the partners, read out whitepaper, check the genuineness of partners and advisors if they are really linked to the project.
Its not really a wise decision to invest somewhere looking by just the rating systems.
