Is there a point in investing in ICOs? How many of them are listed on exchanges after all?
low cap only

No. 99.999% of ICO's are vaporware cash-grabs designed to steal BTC/ETH.
Here's the truth:
Blockchains suck. They're slow, wasteful, and don't scale. Their only redeeming quality is decentralization which places their assets outside the control of governments and banks and offers NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.
ICO retards like to talk about how "the blockchain will revolutionize X" or "we're going to do Y...but on the blockchain"
When confronted with this bullshit, ask yourself a simple question:
"Is this something governments/banks would regulate or crack down it?"
If not there is absolutely no reason to use the blockchain meme and what they're selling is without question vaporware.
If yes, ask yourself whether this service actually needs its own token. Examples here include things like the DICE or BET tokens. Gambling is a legitimate use of the blockchain but if these people had a real service, generating real revenue, why would they share this monopoly? If they needed a bankroll they would offer the ability to publicly contribute to the bankroll and offer a share of the house profit with respect to your contribution. This is what just-dice did and were wildly successful - they didn't offer shitcoin tokens.
You will be extremely hard-pressed to find any ICO which passes these two simple tests.
most of my ICOs returned 2x at least, never took a lost

What did he mean by this?

Transacting value freely is the PERFECT use-case for blockchains. In fact, blockchains were invented to tackle this very idea.
Fuck central banks and government. I love bitcoin. I appreciate that blockchains make technology like bitcoin possible but also understand what blockchains are and their limitations.
"Blockchain" has become a buzzword meme understood by very few. It is hijacked to hype vaporware and spawn worthless ICO shitcoins.
ICO scams hurt this space and inhibit legitimate projects like bitcoin from growing.
