If I not only don't understand something, but also believe that the people flogging that thing don't understand it, I'm certainly not touching it myself. So, no, skipping ICOs, thanks.

Exploiting the hype, on the other hand, I am entirely comfortable with.

I've flipped a few GPUs on eBay and easily doubled my money, and am currently trying to do the same with a small number of hardware wallets. Further, I'm holding a couple hundred bucks each of ZEC and ETH in anticipation of volatility, potentially from the shakeout of current BTC movement, from ETH moving to Proof of Stake, or from just the nature of these (currently, albeit not by intent) all being speculated investments that I'd be willing to go long on--so if I miss a spike, I'm comfortable waiting a year or two.

What a weird space.

99% of ICO's are scams and bullshit. Get your money if you have an ICO idea, otherwise don't "invest" in them.

But you can still sell the shovels for the ICO gold rush.

Don't forget to prepare pitchforks for after the gold crash ;)

We found out that ambisafe, tokenmarket and the like receive a huge amount of requests for handling ICOs, but they also charge a vast amount of money. So, we started working on our own smartcontract and ICO platform. You can give it a try already at https://crowdsale.express/ but it's working on the testnet. We will activate livenet soon and are eager to hear your feedback.

I'm not sure why this is getting down voted, it directly answers the op's question.
