Great article, thanks for sharing. I've smashed the upvote button for you! I think there is an issue with some many ICOs that it is hard for new users to tell what is a good and what is a poor ICO. I would focus on earning tokens until you learn what you should be seeing in a good project.

I use Crowdholding to earn tokens (https://www.crowdholding.com). They are a co-creation platform were you get rewarded for giving feedback to crypto startups on the platform. You can earn Crowdholding's token as well as DeepOnion, ITT, Smartcash and many other ERC-20 tokens.
