I say first of all stay away from ICO's. I tried them and most I my gains come after they release the coins and everyone dumps the first batch. Also remember to diversify. That way you can minimize losses.

Imagine I'll tell you to buy some #1 tokens, #2 and #3. Would you blindly believe me and buy them? If you earn some money you'll probably thank me. From another point of view if I give you a bad advice you will probably blame me in all the troubles. No one wants to be blamed. Another even more important thing is that you won't be able to determine whether a person here wants to help you or just wants to take you money. Some scam organisators might come and tell you that their token is the best of the best and you should buy them ASAP. In order to make their claims look true they can ask their accomplices to confirm the information.
I would recommend you to do your own research to avoid any risks and lossess. Just read some news, whitepapers, look through the topics here to find out which tokens or coins are most popular and trusted, look through the ICO lisitings, they sometimes rate ICO (it's not the rate you have to trust blindly but it can be used as an additional source of information) and I'm sure you'll find tokens or coins which suits you.
Even keeping your money in ETH is not the worst idea after all.

So far only few ICO are seems to be interesting to invest for me that includes VLB, Jibrell and EBcoin. I am not much into ethers since my focus is on bitcoin investment, but this alts really has a good future ahead and was expected to hit the market next to bitcoin. I think holding it will really give a good profit in later time.

I don't know what your overall tolerance for risk is, but if you only have a small amount of ETH to buy tokens and are scared of losing it all, then seriously consider to buy into a basket of cryptos (such as CombiCoin managed by Triaconta). If not and you're ready to outright gamble, you want to make sure that you get into the best ICO possible (or a post ico token that is undervalued). This involves a lot of reading and research - and probably the most important part - doing your own due diligence.

P.S. Don't see the above as investment advice. I am just sharing my point of view based on my personal experience in this space. You should consult with a professional to determine what may be best for your individual needs.

I understand that investing all of the money is too much risky but BTA is the project on which I can trust as they did their job before the ICO. they've created the software which their whitepaper claims. You can get more information here https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinFuturesA or you can also test their software here https://awhcloud.win/TokenPriceCalculator.html. therefor I am not worried about investing it. I also understand that those days have gone when we were able to make 50x through ICOs but still we can make atleast double after the ICO but there is too much risk involved. If you talk about investing in coins trading on exchanges then I think maybe you've hear about the recent scams and pump and dump coins, investing in platforms like bcc, dav etc has become too much risky so how we can trust on these exchanges you mentioned? just a few days ago I invested in XMRG and later the dev has created billions of coins out of thin air as there was no an active platform for coin just like XMRG so only projects where there should be a software or a working product can be good for ICOs. therefor I only want to know such platforms just like Maker, DRGN, Wax

at this moment you have an ongoing presale for an ICO called blocksquare, and the tokens are selling at 0.08 usd. The ICO will start in march and the tokens will be selling at 0.50 usd. It is a interesting realestate project going to disrupt the market as we know it today. The team is good, and they have already the money to make a viable MVP.

If all you have to invest is .5 ether I would be careful putting it into ICO's. There are still great ICO's out there but the days of short term 5-10x gains on many ICO's are mostly gone. You'd likely be better off putting your ether into a couple projects that have been around for a while and have shown their teams are trustworthy and consistently working/improving their coins/tokens. Do your own research but personally I think VeChain/ICON/Walton are very safe bets that have a lot of room to grow in the medium to long term.

 If you are looking for a more risky investment that could pay off huge look into COSS. It's a crypto exchange that pays 50% of its fees to token holders and will be opening a fiat gateway in march(hopefully, we'll see if they pull it off). As of now your ROI with their current trading volume is a little less than 1% a year, however if they reach the top 10 in daily volume traded (~270million daily), your ROI at current prices would be 150% in just dividend payments, not to mention the appreciation of the token price. Kucoin is a good example of how quickly an exchange can dramatically increase its volume in a short period of time. IMO, once coss can stabilize its engine (its still in beta), it will have a huge increase in trading volume as it will be able to add new trading pairs without worry about backend problems.

Thank you. But can you please suggest me a few on which you believe will be good?

List this atlist in exchange. First, that is to raise money to get another exchange. participants must register on the exchange and then show the roadmap to the world and buy or hold the token

I have 0.50 ethers and want to invest half in BTA ICO (if that begins) as I am waiting since last year but don't know if they have a plan to launch it. Therefor I don't know if they launch or not or maybe sooner so I don't want to spend those ethers but need your advice regarding where to spend half of other ethers? Please only suggest me some good ICOs just like Maker token for long term (an year)
