Bitcoin Forum

Being a newbie, I'm looking for a good direction on learning about the markets and trading. How would you decide which ICO to invest in? Cryptocurrency is too volatile, but so there is still many people who go into investment that goes even in the newest coins which are similar (not same) in the functionality that they offer (e.g. anonymity). What is the possibility on any of these coins (or digital currency in general) being successful (or profitable)? I'm also not clear on how does the value of coin inflate or deflate; especially when the flow is controlled by the developers?

tl;dr Any resources or pointers on the topic are appreciated.

the first thing I did was read and study his whitepaper. we see what the concept is, how to solve the problem he gave and what he will do (road map). honestly there are so many details to explain, but you can start from the whitepaper.

for a newbie does have to work hard at first
but I have a suggestion if it intends to be an investor
you must be very careful in reading a project
in order to find out where the project is going
and do not forget to look at the project's supporters whether it's official or not that matters most to me

I rather like investing in altcoin because now there are a lot of good projects that are set up to create a crypto with good technical background and high practical application. Altcoins that do not meet the needs of the market will be eliminated and replaced by better altcos. I often invest in new and potential altcoins because it is a great opportunity for you to invest and work together on your project.

Hi! Let me share my step order for make an investment decision:
1. Whitelist (full information that create my imagination of project)
2. Team (who can realize idea, their success and some achievers)
3. Roadmap (plans and potential, where they would like to be as result)
4. Cap (soft or hard, the demand on it)
5. My own forecast (how cool is an idea? Is it really needed for society?)

thank you, I also understand how to choose a good investment with the information you provide, by the way I will also make an investment and will try to understand more deeply.

This is a pretty complete review of an altcoin to decide on investing in it. Many thanks for your sharing here. The cryptocurrency community desperately need those who share their precious knowledge like you.

whitelist/idea, number of competitors and marcetcap forecast.

these three things will help for the beginning.

then you should check that what happened after xxxcoin listed in an exhange. is it going down or up?

Choosing potential ICO is not that simple to do because we cannot determine what is the best ICO and all we only have is a guess and speculations. But at least we check its popularity in the telegram and some of good ICO also are being published in the social media.  You must to check also if they have a whitepaper and website.

Thanks, that covers a lot of points and a good idea in general on how to approach investing.
(Though frankly I need a little work on understanding markets, caps and demands :) )



True. Though there are so many projects, it is difficult to filter out the "good" ones. I usually looked at the coins whose concept interested me. As an idea, I think the decentralized currency that we initially liked and aimed for is no more.


As I understand after the initial investment there are multiple approaches to trading - short and long term, which can work. Though I'm uncertain if the usual approaches hold true for  crpto trading - in that since the value of so many coins fluctuate violently and there is a chance of a large downturn, if there are better ways to control loss or profits.

On the flip side, I also considered mining, which could also be considered as an investment, but is usually controlled by ones with the highest hash rate, and hence seems like the need of having a large number of computing units (cpu,gpu,asics) to be successful. Which converts to significant initial investment with additional risk and effort.

If the whitepaper is not clear and does not make sense, we'd better move away.
Info about team, ability, credibility - If the team that handles the ICO is not given, or kept a secret, we'd better move away. The project is against the law or not - If the project can be against the law, we'd better move away.

Yes investing in the altcoins really gives you more profit in the future.

Getting bitcoin by mining is a huge advantage. Mining is long term, requires a lot of capital to do mining. And mining is also not too high risk, unlike investment in altcoin. Because investment in bitcoin should be smart in reading all companies.

I would recommend joining the project SocialMedia.Market. This project will create a global marketplace for advertisers and influencers among every major social network, providing convenient and transparent tools for the interaction of any party involved.

Altcoin investment is much profitable if you know to eliminate the risk beneath on it and many traders became successful on that kind of investment since they research,learn the technicalities and fund it. Althought there's market crash we called then it never take it as serious problem but they made it as another opportunity to buy cheap coins by that moment and earn thousand or even millions to its incoming pump. Mining is just for passive header but you will spend more money on it since you need to buy the latest ones as years past since the difficulty will rise even more harder.

To decide which ICO to invest I usually read the whitepaper and then join their media social group amd see how they promote the coin and see how many people interested in the coin, maybe some of the coins is almost similar but the development team and the marketing team can make them more standout and different from other, if  you want to  invest in ICO its better to learn before you try, ICO is more dangerous than trading, some of the ICO is scam

First of all, I look at white paper, capitalization, the number of coins and their initial value.
Looking at it all you can approximate understand what to expect from a coin.

        It is very important when investing in a project to document very well whether the project is viable on the market. You can start by carefully analyzing the project whitepaper. The project team also plays an essential role (personal number, members' experience, achievements). The consultants of the project are also important. Even the way they advertise, they say a lot about the project. But I think the most important factor is the problem addressed by the project.

+1 on Altcoin investment. I admit once setup Bitcoin, or any other currency that we mine would give out  profits till the difficulty goes higher and the hardware is deprecated. Worse still is more than a few number of these machines (especially asics) might require large initial investment, with no definite timeline when the difficulty is going to surpass the point of returning no profits. Unlike GPUs, which can be re-sold, the ASICs have little use other than to look for other coin with same protocol. One other factor is the lifetime of Asics available today is circumspect with little warranty that the company provides. Though I might seem a little cautious, from my perspective investing altcoin seemed better option. Though I might play with GPU mining at some point, doubt that'll bring in significant profit, but it'll be fun.


All sound advice. One question though how is the initial value determined before any launch? Wouldn't they all start at minimum (1 sat) and appreciate according to supply and demand. Also could one of you clarify on the supply of coins - How is the initial supply generated? Why lower number of coins are valued more than say a supply in billions. Wouldn't it be better to have a large supply especially if the coin ends up being popular?

hi.

the most important thing in my view is to explore a bit about the people that are involved in the project. you should check up on them and make sure that they are legit.

then i'll recommend reading the white paper- and try to figure out what's the project is about.

also check out the road map of the project and the cap (hard/soft) and of course your own thoughts of the concept and it's implementation possibilities...

There is no guarantee that a new coin will be successful in the future, and will also show a good profit. Investors can only assume that this or that coin will be successful in the future, because many factors influence this.

Before to decide invest or not - im making the following: go to the site and  do research on product , development team, advisors. If the project seemed  interesting i move on. I read whitepaper, hard and softcap, distribution of raised funds in the future, roadmap. And one important moment - for me is good sigh if unsold tokens are planned to be burned,  this increases the value of the token.

This is the question that cant really be answered by anyone. No person can predict for a certain project that do make ICO that they would able to succeed. I do agree on the fact that most of them do really have the same concepts all over again. Price movement? Depends on hype and people do mostly aim on making money not totally concern for long term except for those project which are unique or do have potential.

Investing or joining in a project is too risky, so you better check it first before joining investing.
You have read all the information about that project, like its white paper road map and etc. And always check the backgrounds of the dev or manager, or sometimes join in a project with trusted dev or manager because some of their project are very successful.

VICoin token is now in the most priveleged state.

VICoin (utility token) is doing the Pre-ICO right now.
Here is a short explanatory video of the project https://youtu.be/TQ0cMPWgb00
VICoin is a promising token, as the project is working for already more than 10 years. One of the strongest advantages of the project is the team itself; people that have been working with each other for many years. This is a positive way to distinguish VICoin from any other ICO projects. The overall concept of the project is also very interesting and not like most of the existing ICOs.
Overall, Virtonomics introduces cryptocurrency of a new job market in alternative economy!

https://icodrops.com/         (ICO)
https://tokenmarket.net/     (ICO)
https://coinmarketcap.com/  (Market ranking)

These are some of the sites I'm using right now, and I hope this will help you a little. :)

Pick an ICO, research the project behind it and see if you like what's there.

Take VLB for example, one of my favorites.

- a clear purpose for blockchian and the coin
- people from IBM and Masterchain among the advisors
- low cap

These are my general points whenever I chose a project to invest in.

You might have a point in this matter, finding a good ico you must check first the whitepaper, the team behind it, the campaign managers reputations and the developer must be active most of the time on the telegram, Facebook and twitter. So if they are all active as the said above it means that project is good and legit.

Firstly, decide on what is your personal objective and how much time you have for cryptos. You most likely cannot do all the thing you have stated in your post.

Well, i am a newbie too in this cryptocurrentcy world. For me, before i am going to decide on which ICO i want to invest, there are some questions that i ask myself for the projects, such as :
1. Does this ICO has a great founder with succesful background?
2. Who are the team and the advisors, are they great and has a potential background?
3. Does this ICO have a lot of great partnerships?
4. How about the softcap and hardcap, is it realistic?
5. Does this ICO has a working product right now?
This 5 things is the factors that decide the most for the projects to be successful. And projects like VLB made me answer yes for this 5 questions.

Well you should end these wandering of yours im giving you a good example of a full package Project, If you have heard about VLB, they are now on their presale and soon to reach their ICO.This Project is realistic its VLB token will be use as a utility token, if we say utility means it is used based on a real situation and in the real world, actually if you will get to take time to read their whitepaper you will be clarified to it. Visit their site and review http://vlb.io/

For choosing a potential ICO is not that simple because we can not determine the best ICO and all we have is guesswork and speculation. But at least we check whether they have a document and a white website.

Yes buddy. But we can choose the best potential by researching around this forum. Before investing the money i usually check below link. This will help me to give some ideas about the best ICO. I hope this will help you too. check this out.

https://topicolist.com/

I suggest you check the white paper, road map, development team members and escrow for distribution to understand whether it is a potential project or not.

So many ICOs, they appear almost every day. It is impossible to research everything on the market.
I think it make sense to chose from the most shilled ones. If people speak about some certain ICOs (at twitter or FB) write the names down and DYOR. After while it's gonna be a list of 10-20 icos and then it will be good to choose the proper one.
As well I think it is important to have a good list of them, because now even if You are whitelisted and gonna try to participate at the exact beginning of crowd-sale, its not the fact that You succeed. The most popular ICOs finish in 1 hour and there is a huge traffic on the servers so a lot of people stay aside.

there is saying first impression is the last impression ,
so 1st of all if project looks dummy from its appearance and name then ignore it ,

then look at team profile and their experience ,

after that you should read whitepaper 2 times to understand project better .

also see reviews by crypto experts .

collect as much info as you can

As crypto currencies is known in being so unpredictable and very volatile it is really difficult to assess which coin can probably become a good investment and will succeed in value appreciation. What investors do here is they first read and understand what's the project is all about, if it is interesting to have or there is a potential that it will hit the market, then investors take a risk and invest.

Actually there are some alternative investment coins outside Bitcoin which I predict its value will skyrocket in 2018.
Ethereum is the third largest coin in the world after Bitcoin and Ripple. Initially Ethereum had to sit in second position until the end of December yesterday. Unfortunately Ripple managed to lead the position Ethereum.

I am very enthusiastic about investing alcoin, let alone the constructive suggestion from you guys. I also have to read alcoin investing lot, how much risk him. and of course the advantage for my future

The investment in altcoin always brings a lot of profit to investors in this cryptocurrency market. But because so many new altcoin is born so the choice of some good altcoin to invest becomes quite difficult. Be serious with your investment to be successful in this market.

I also considered mining, which could also be considered as an investment, but is usually controlled by ones with the highest hash rate, and hence seems like the need of having a large number of computing units (cpu,gpu,asics) to be successful.

read whitepaper about altcoin and analyse it. If you think that you have a great chance to invest, do it. If you think that this isn't the time, so don't invest. But be careful, don't do stupid moves

I select a certain coin and I watch results of the project during certain time.  In this case I also monitor dynamics of the price by means of https://coinmarketcap.com/   and if I see that the price fell to a minimum and the project has good potential, then I make the decision on purchase of this coin. I think this strategy is optimal in the cryptocurrency market.

BlockChain Hotels is an opportunity to invest in a solid project aiming to employ blockchain technology in the hospitality industry Is just easy money. FInd out more at https://www.blockchainhotels24.com/

There are over 1300 altcoins available. We consider Bitcoin as the main cryptocurrency - being the first coin. Other coins/tokens are referred to as altcoins.  Investing in altcoins can be In various terms, but basically day trading or buy and hold. Indept information is required on the choice of coin for either of the categories. A brand new coin with prospects can have over 400% increase from the ICO/inclusions in an exchange. Investment at this stage will yield massive profit. However,  such profit may not be found for first 20 coins on coinmarketcap - coins can increase but not to such extent due to already saturated volume, among other reasons. Basically,  some research is important before investing.

Waiting for sugar SGR at$ 50 in the summer, the release of the product only in the month of may, in January of 1 cent 1.5$ already went, but there's even no history of heart disease.

Personally I think that invest in an unknown coin is like betting in a casino, because it is not possible to predict the prospects for the growth of this coin - people who adhere to such a strategy simply go for a conscious risk.

Investment is a risky business, as all forms of business, but I would recommend Rolecoin by Steamrole. Its a solid invest

This isn't really true, when a coin gets to a certain point it isn't really controlled by the developers anymore. I think you mean supply inflate or deflate?

When a coin launches it will have a set distribution model written into the chain by code. Say 5 coins per block from block 1-500 then 10 coins per block from 500-50000 (just as an example)

Now that version of the chain (and wallet ect) will be up on github, if the devs just out of nowhere wanted to change those numbers they would have to modify the code and put up a new release, after that its up to the community if they want to download that new release with updated code.

If a majority of the community does not update then that original blockchain would remain ongoing with the original code.

This is why you hear the statement "The strongest chain will win", developers only have control to a certain extent, they need the community to be in consensus (agreement) with them to push their releases. This is a big reason why forks happen.

Hope this helps, good luck.

The most important of all the aspects are the developers even if in paper different projects may seem similar to each other if one project has dedicated developers and the other doesn't, then the project that has the best developers is going to become a successful coin and give you profits while the second is going to disappear soon after its creation.

You can still mine some altcoins if you have a higher hash rate miner but it all depends on all of your expenses in the current and the total rate that your miner can give to you. But since the difficulty level is raising it must be harder and harder for someone to mine when he got too small altcoin(s) to mine. So it could be better if you must have invested in an altcoins rather than mining, you could do some trading while investing on altcoins. Just fill your portfolio with all of the good altcoins that has a potential to grow in the future. 

Yes, thanks for the clarification

True, although not all coins' devs decide to reveal their information; and I assume a motivated one can go to great lengths to present dev profiles and commits to the core - till release and/or to interact. My point is although the presentation and at face value we might see many devs, how can be sure of the verify of this information?

Yeah I'm mining for fun, but I'm mostly out of the hashrate race; especially with the new ASICs coming out every other month for new algos, GPU mining is not a profitable option.

In any case, before investing money in the project, you need to study it well. Check the team, site, hardcap, softcap, witelist. B thoroughly studying this, only after that to enter the project.

For beginners it must work hard, active in the forum and learn more about the ins and outs as well as all the features that exist in this forum,
if you want to invest in an ICO project you have to be brave to accept the risks if it is not what you want but to be able to predict which projects are good you can see from the vision of the mission, the manager, the team and the project's roadmap and all that you have to learn first in order to avoid from a scam ico project.

In short, you should really be sensible on all sorts of things and be responsible on the things should be done by an investors and not just carelessly making any decisions without any valid basis or just pure speculation or guess because most likely this will really lead into loss of money.Every investment do have corresponding risk and you should embrace that stuff when you decide to go along or making investment.

I can recommend matchico.com and desearch.com for those who deal with crypto. I've been using it lately and it helped me much.  ::)

For you can check the price history and marketplace movement alone mate. if you see the good growth on the market and volume is better you may choose the any one among that to invest mate. You do not to dig their whitepaper after listed on the exchanges.
That is not actually for investing on altcoins.
If you wish to invest on any ICO projects you can boldly go to check the white paper and team information to confirm the project legitimacy.

I think alcoin investment is currently profitable and good for investment because its future can give brightness in our life, chances are that will come in the next few years alcoin potency to be a good coin is expensive.

Altcoin assets is much bankable whether you apprehend to secure elsewhere the peril below on it and diverse dealers came recognised on that big of assets since they research

Visa, the largest banks and financiers such as Bafet, like fire are afraid of cue and crypts in general, because they can lose hundreds of billions. And it is because of them that we see such a low cue rate now. But their goal is to make the price so that the mining becomes unprofitable. And now think, who has more financial power - from Bitmark or Visa? I'm afraid the next few months will be a nightmare with the course.

Best investment - is investment in Sonder

If planning to invest in Altcoins you need to be careful in deciding because most cryptocurrency today are dropping and this might be lossing your capital if not properly check and also you may ask some advise to your friend if you really need to invest while the market is still falling.

just recently finished ICO interesting, such as Quarkchain or phantom, and the price of the exchange can be very attractive, I'd consider new projects.

I now try to pay attention to those ico companies that are very actively collecting funds from the investor. This makes it possible to hope that the prices of their coins will not pass before the entire crypto-currency market.

The flow of coins is not controlled by the developers in 50 percent of cases. It is better to invest in top coins, rather than look for ICO that are changeable.

Man, there are many aspects to consider:
- the product: if solves a problem not solved so far (scalability for example)
- the team: people having a great background that have already delivered;
- the token metrics: the percentage to be sold, the locking period;
- the hype.
Sometimes people are so not rational at all and go all in for a project that has enormous hype and (maybe) no strong fundamentals at all without solving a new arrised problem. So all the ideas exposed so far are relative to how people respond to the hype mainly. That's how I view it.
When it comes to the price, it usually deflates or inflates relative to the news or to the movement of Bitcoin or to some pump and dump group. If you have followed CMC in the last few weeks, you have definitely seen that when BTC rises, also other coins rise. And the same happens for the reverse situations.
Lastly, I want to leave you with a new token that I am very excited about that will rise in price when a big news comes out or when BTC grows. We'll see if that happens.
The token is BNTN created by the guys from #Blocnation. The token will be used as a payment currency inside private events. A bracelet will do the transaction for you, all you'll have to do is to "charge" your bracelet with tokens and bring your arm near to the POS in order for the NFC cip inside the bracelet to pay for you.

Hope it will help you!

ICO as well as trading on the stock exchange is a high-risk investment! Buying tokens even with good bonuses on the first round of sale then you can not even return the invested funds. I apologize for my English.

Altcoin Investment is profitable if you know the good project options. Choosing a potential ICO is not simple to do because we can not determine the best ICO. Before investing, I usually read the report and then join their social media team to see how they promote the coin and see how many people are interested in the coin. Speaking a lot about the project

we have read the preliminary information about the crypto money world that you need to do first because you are new. because when you look at it from the outside there are people who think that it will become rich if it goes into the market. if you buy from the stock market you have made a certain volume and make the price of the produced price good. When it comes to ICO, you have to be very careful and leave your job to chance. Who am I in the project when I come in from ICO? and I look at the status of those who support it.

everything seems mixed at the moment, but ico and other crypto money investments should be a bit of a luck good search for a good way my friend

The most important thing in the project is the team, because if it will be experienced people who have already implemented several startups. Even if the idea of their project is not unique, but a good team, the chances of success of the project are very high.

For me i would only focus on alts cause they are the future for me, if market will recover (and it is slowly happening) prices of some coins could grow immediately so investing now could lead to nice earnings.

for a newbie you should look for a good altcoin to make an investment, look for altcoin that has a very limited token supply it and have a very good product for the people and make sure altcoin is very useful for altcoin request has a very high demand and make altcoin become very expensive.

it is necessary looking that ICO wants to offer society whether this project is necessary, whether it solves some problem for people? It is necessary to learn about team where they participated before. To study white paper

which need to be considered to join in an ICO are
1.The Product.
2. The Team
3. The Roadmap
4.Token price and total supply
5. Code source
6. Do they Give you a ROI.
7. Transparancy about how many tokens have been sold

Before joining the ICO, I am very carefully studying all available information about the project. I attach great importance to the topic at this forum, if the project is praised a lot, then this is an order for advertising, I do not take such a project.

before deciding to invest then you should find the correct information about the crypto currency and the risk, investing in crypto currency has a big risk but many people are still interested in investment because in crypto you can also get a lot of profit and get rich

ICO brings high profits in a short time, but the ICO is risky and risky. Before investing you have to study carefully the project. And you need to have enough skill to make the right decision to invest. For example, you should read the whitelist, team dev, roadmap, softcap, hardcap ... if you do well these things. The possibility of success will be enormous.

You need to have enough time to study the project. And you need to watch the project for a long time. If there is no time, then the Menlo.one project can help, but it has not launched its own ICO yet.

Investing in a cryptocurrency is not easy, you have to invest some time and read, mainly seek information about the currency, roadmap, developer team, use case of the cryptocurrency, and something very important is the community, the more people support the project, the farther you can go, another thing and very important is within the framework of the road map are the dates, in which are the goals to be made and that are realistic, if everything goes well in all aspects, it is worth worth the investment.

If you feel that something is wrong with the project, give up or increase your research, today you have to sleep with one eye open since there are many coins that are Scam.

Bitcoin rolled back 12% to $ 7,500 and this is the norm for the asset, which for the month rose by 43%.

What should we do now: buy, sell, hold? Will the lateral movement continue, will the chart go up or down?
About this, many experts are guessing, they are building charts, declaring "I told you" when they fall or tear their hair, if not.

My opinion.
It is not clear how long the outset will last and all the experts' statements are guesswork on the coffee grounds. BUT! What most of them agree is the long-term prospects of bitcoin. At this stage bitcoin is not HYIP, it's gold. And when you buy gold, then you do not care how much it will cost tomorrow. It is important how much it will cost in a year. With only one difference - bitcoin can grow many times faster than gold.

The purpose of making this altcoin is to cover the weaknesses of bitcoin, namely the limited amount of bitcoin in circulation, which is only about 22 million coins, altcoin has prices that change relatively quickly compared to bitcoin which has predictable graphs that are easier to invest in bitcoin than altcoin investments.
You can get big profits from altcoin investments but you have to be careful, many ICO projects fail and scam, usually before I invest I read white papper, roadmap and the reputation of subordinate managers, the result is my huge profit from altcoin investments.

Whether it's a financial application, supply chain tracking, an #ICO, document notarization, decentralized authentication, or more. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4727863.0

But if you invest in this market you are always taking some kind of risk so for me it is not that bad to risk sometimes in tokens of course if we have enough savings to do that kind of moves.

Financial investment is not easy and the cryptocurrency market is the same, you will not be able to succeed without a proper and long-term investment strategy. The world financial market is volatile and it affects most other economic markets but with steady growth over the years I think cryptocurrency will recover and grow well.

I rather like investing in altcoin because now there are a lot of good projects that are set up to create a crypto with good technical background and high practical application. Altcoins that do not meet the needs of the market will be eliminated and replaced by better altcos. It is very important when investing in a project to document very well whether the project is viable on the market.

yes what you say may be true even very true, because beginners must work very hard to increase their rank, becoming an investor must have sufficient funds for investment capital even we must be prepared to bear every risk we will receive.

There is no definite method to find good project except by comparing facts and figure, check how serious they are and if their project seems real in any way

I think it's only a few that fall into this category you are describing, maybe one out of hundred

I suggest that you first go to Youtube to find the video teaching you want, because there is a more complete explanation!

It's strange situation right know bitcoin roled back to $6300 and loss of most altcoins about 20% now, so it's kind a hard to give advices right now, we need to watch market closely

Picking a good ICO is quite tricky. You can verify it to ascertain the level of credence. That doesn't guarantee that it'd be successful.
The best option for me is checking the level of commitments, and demand for the product.
Identifying a good project is a good step. A good project would have long-term potential.

to invest in the ICO for me is very risky, especially many ICO projects whose sales are not achieved with the desired target, and many ICO projects are scam, so it is better to invest coins already in the exchange, I think it is not too risky .

Find out the project that the team want to bring into the crypto market, if the project is not realistic then it's a no go area but if it then also compare possibility factors and look into their approach or road map even some ICO reviews can be helpful in determining if the project is worth investing your money in it.

It's definitely not all Altcoins is made to cover the weakness in Bitcoin, most of them are just profit based and a means of making money either by selling something especially the numerous projects on Ethereum Smart Contract, many of them have no relation to the blockchain development but only appear in the consumer part of the blockchain so it does not help Bitcoin in any ways.

Actually there are some ways to find out if that's really a good project but we can only speculate in the beginning but we don't know where it is heading.

A good project can turn into a bad project if one part of the team starts to act shady. It will cause ruckus not only the team but to the community that support that ICO/altcoin.

Choosing Good project is very difficult, My advise is read carefully white paper and you have to understand  the project  :)  you can also feel it in the group if you check it  having a good community and well  managed   is one factor  in choosing good projects. Also double check roadmap as well you can also see progress  about the project.

yes of course I will choose to invest in altcoin but not just one, I will divide for some altcoins for long-term investment, because if I only invest in one coin it will make me lose not being able to enjoy the benefits that can be created from the other altcoin.

I would recommend ICO from MCB (MyCryptoBank), and ICO is running. Then you can open it via the MCB website https://mycryptobank.io/
If you are going to invest in ICO, I want you to do research first with the ICO project. Because there are many coins that don't match the ICO price, I often see this when the token sales are finished. But don't worry.

I support your view on picking the white paper and other information to analyze which is the best way to make the money on the ICO investment but here we can check about altcoins also a investment thing mate.
I used to read the over all price spike and dump in the market. If the value of the coin and complete marketplace growth little stable and getting up whenever the market value grown up and dumped in the market.

Altcoin has bad experience in 2018 , so I dont even know what I can suggest u. At least I cant do it to myself lol U can see the market mood right now

If you are interested in my opinion, I recommend that you pay attention to this project. I'm watching his huge potential! #MDsquare #TMED #telemedicine http://www.mdsqr.io/

Investing in ICOs and altcoins - it`s a very good decision, but you need to study a lot before invest in. You need to make your own research work of the ICOs, you can check some in rating sites.

For a beginner, you're better off trading established currencies, as opposed to speculations.
Also start small, and build gradually, with practise, you'd grow in skill and profits.

Many altcoins are trying to target any perceived limitations that Bitcoin has and come up with newer versions with competitive advantages. Some investors are more risk tolerant than others and are thus more willing to lose some of their principal in return for the chance of generating a higher profit. The investor's ability to tolerate risk and the incremental return associated with increasing amounts of risk.

Hello. Before investing in altcoin, it is necessary to study its road map and, of course, white paper. It is desirable to know in general what kind of people are behind this project and what they have already implemented.

Actually, if you are beginner in cryptocurrency and you do not have  enough knowledge in  trading  than , I do not  advise you to start buying, investing..,  in that field, because simply, you will lose a big amount of your funds especially in this period because the market always in red. So you must learn the understands statistics in different cryptocurrencies. Honeslty, I do not advise you to ask people for helps because many do not give the right information and predictions, and they keep them always in order to achieve just  their goals. 
Trust me, the field of trading is not easy at all. do not rush, just take your time in learning, and then start.

Really interesting project. The idea itself is truly unique. It makes sense to invest in a project! #MDsquare #TMED #telemedicine http://www.mdsqr.io/

Due to the recent development of the cryptocurrency market and the rapid fluctuations, all of the cryptocurrency investments are at high risk. Even Bitcoin is still the highest value cryptocurrency yet, but price fluctuations are still very frequent.
So the altcoin will have more multiplication changes. Because they have a low market price (the sum of all the combined currencies), the altcoin market is prone to price manipulation. Rich merchants - called "whales" - inject large amounts of capital into low-priced currencies to build up hype and increase prices.

After bitcoin is Altcoin they are an attractive aspect of cryptocurrency, but they are not for everyone Altcoin offers users the cryptocurrency of alternatives and forces developers of Bitcoin to remain active and continue to innovate

This is a gambling game of chance, which can have a lot of money or may lose everything

It's not the best time to invest in ico because there are so many scams in the market, as well as overvalued teams and their products, which after ico can not do anything.

what I did was first reading the information provided by the forum, and asking friends in the crypto community, either in telegram or other social media

https://medium.com/@optitoken.io/hyperdeflationary-monetary-systems-why-they-should-be-owned-and-utilized-1a34bc2a7536

personally, I carefully picked up the coins for investment. collected and studied a lot of information. but 2018 has made changes in my predictions. today it is better to invest in a strong coin, while they are on the decline.

Firstly, there are no guarantees and never will. As I understand you're trying to understand far better to invest their money. First search for ICO using the bounty of the company. Participate in them and so you will be able to understand exactly how to collect money. Next, pay attention to the signature company, if this company has a lot of heroes and legends, then it is worth buying. They've already analyzed. Well, you can learn white paper to understand what you are buying.

In addition to those fraudsters, every real cryptocurrency is listed, and its number is published to all investors! But I suggest you should reduce the amount of ICO investment!

Greetings. Now most people invest their money in them. Since when you know the mechanisms of the market, then you can make a good profit..

All altcoins are down. It is best to analysis and discusss with the experts to get invested for the future growth.

Yes that is right , I think you have mentioned too much important things. these are important for a investor study they road map of a project, which can in fact give you’re a very clear idea about the project and about its successfulness.

at the moment you can invest in the air. he confidently sooner or later return a $ 500 mark

Coin inflate when more holders bay tokens. Capitalization is growing up.
Coin deflate when more holders sell their tokens. Capitalization is growing down.
A lot of reasons for inflate and deflate.

People never get experience in their mother’s womb, in very beginning every person is inexperienced, but later on by spending time in the market he get some experience and become an expert in trading. I think in very beginning we only need to invest and do trading with small amount of money.

First, I would not invest into an ICO based projects, but non-ICO. Just make some researches to find how more than 80% ICOs became scams.

Second, always do a lot of anlysis before making any investment. Be careful at following key points:
- social media activity
- Whitepaper
- milestones (respected or not by Dev)
- team experience
etc.

Yes, exactly many people should understand the technology behind the coins. In crypto, simply investing will not give any profits so always research about the coin and learn how to trade those coin. Otherwise, you will be in loss.

now it is more profitable to invest not in altcoin, but in the etherium. he is on the lower border

The point of investing in ICO is judged whether there is WP or not. But there are a lot of fraud. It would be a good idea to participate in communities that are being activated. There are many venture companies in Japan that are not ICOs. With regulations being severe, there are many projects that can be trusted because they are successful.

Last year, few believed in the success of Ethereum. This year I would advise you to take a closer look at EOS. In ICO if you want to invest, then only for the long term

Today it is very dangerous to participate in ICO because the price of the token immediately after entering the exchange falls 5-10 times.

sorry that I am moving away from the topic, but how did you manage to earn merit?  :P

I rather like investing in altcoin because now there are a lot of good projects that are set up to create a crypto with good technical background and high practical application. Altcoins that do not meet the needs of the market will be eliminated and replaced by better altcos. You must to check also if they have a whitepaper and website.

altcoin is always the hot topic for investing in trading. You need the latest information on the market as well as you need to make changes that fit your investment plan in accordance with the current situation of altcoin.

If you want to learn more professional trading methods, then you may need more learning channels. I suggest you go to YouTube, there are many videos about trading!

Altcoin and investment are two different things because an altcoin is a kind of crypto while investment on the other hand is the act of buying and holding the coin .

Imo , altcoins are only best for trades because they are cheap and you can easily buy lots of them in different kinds while bitcoin is the ideal suitable coin for investing because its base value is already expensive.

Though we can still opt to choose both alts and btc if we wanted to .

I recommend you to invest money in your knowledge first of all. Then you can choose the right coins to invest in or trade with, depends on what are you interested in.

Here’s what the mastermind behind Ethereum and perhaps the most prominent figure in the crypto world Vitalik Buterin" has to say about Investing in an ICO.

"Cryptocurrency are still a new and hyper-volatile assets class, and could drop to near-zero at any time. Don't put in more money than you can afford to loss..."

Before you get carried away and start sending your hard earned money to every single project out there, remember that many, if not most of those projects will inevitably fail or will turn out to be a scam. take the pain to go through at least 5 successful ICO projects such as Wepower, Solve.Care, Truegame, Play2live and also 5 upcoming ICO projects such as Modern finance chain, Linkchain, adab solution, virtual rehab.
Not forgetting that every project launching an ICO must have website and whitepaper, find out everything you can about the development team, make sure they are not anonymous, Check Community and Media such as facebook, twitter and telegram. Check Stage of the project ( roadmap), Read the ANN thread on BitcoinTalk, read the whitepaper, If a project has no working code whatsoever prior to an ICO, or even if they do, but it isn’t open source - that’s a major red flag and many more to take note of before investing.

we know that altcoin is currently in the very worst condition, but I am not sure that altcoin will fall, there are still survivors and are not disturbed by the state of bitcoin and ethereum which is the benchmark for all altcoins

I am currently joining the ICO project. Because waiting for the market to recover is very boring for me. All possibilities can happen, but I believe not all new coins have the potential to be a scam. There are still new coins that will have value.

I just saw this as a speculative opportunity :) :) :) :)

Now there are good altcoins for investing and in addition the drawdown ends and you can buy coins until they start to grow in price.

I would better choose altcoins with low values which do have good growth trend. Cryto can be always trusted and invested on. Choose the best altcoins from coinmarketcap.com. Analyze the market growth and choose the coins you wish to invest in. Filter out the coins with trend and value wise. Do not hesitate to invest now as this is the right time to do so. Trading is a good platform which yields more profits. Hence go ahead and invest in altcoins instead of investing too much on coins with high values.

Yes it is a very good decision no doubt I think that it is not so easy to choose the best ICO for your investment. For that you need to study the white paper of the ICO and the whole project very carefully and only then you can take a right decision about selecting a good ICO for your investment.

I really like to investing on altcoin because it a good cryptocurrency

Don't generalize it as a good cryptocurrency.

Altcoins is the term for alternative for bitcoin and it is consists of thousands of alternative crypto coin in the circulation. If you are saying that it is a good cryptocurrency then you have to be specific on what altcoin you are talking about. There are scam altcoins there that are also rotating so if you tell they are good, you are including those scams.

A good idea. but you need to invest with the mind. The choice of projects should be approached very carefully. I'm sure that in the next year from the market will take about 90% of projects. The main thing to choose a project from the remaining 10%))

I also think that this is a game for developers or whales with the aim of making people panic. And those who panic will eventually sell coins so they can buy at a low price. After that, they will pump prices on a large scale. This pattern has often occurred from year to year.

Less than 30 Cryptocurrencies have over 400 daily users which could signal "Panic Sell" for most tokens according to a rearcher  :-\ :-\

for me, if I want to invest in ICO, I will visit on their ANN on this forum, I will visit on their website too, download their whitepaper and read the project details. maybe I will join in their telegram group channel too if I think it necessary to get more information about the project or talk with the dev or the team so I can get anything that can help me to decide later. but I think the best thing that I can do for making an investment is in altcoin which has a good history or has a track record at least this will help me to make an analysis to invest because I am not too expecting to make a big profit with the new coins.

Still the best thing is to see first their objective and vision on their white paper. If you do that, you will understand the whole package of what that project is for. It's sound like a blue print which you can see the full detail of their roadmap and how the system development and their uses too. The team back ground is good as well by looking and verifying their legitimacy and liability of course.

I think today there are so many new projects that there are no unique projects. And after the release of the coin on the exchange rate falls very much as there is no workable product.

Today, it is very dangerous to invest in new coins or ICO, as they are very unstable in price and if the market starts to fall again, these coins will fall significantly more than the old coins with a large capitalization.

We constantly see how even new coins become successful but it becomes more like a rare thing lately, market is in crisis now. Better look for legacy ones.

check and  Read expert’s reviews and opinion towards ICO, check the project MVP (minimum viable product), see and Analyse carefully social platforms project is using , you need to read the White paper and see the project road map.

We can categorize both ICO and altcoins in the different way.

I really do not go with the ICO projects all the time because the worth of the tokens may increase or decrease as per demand creating in the marketplace. I really do not want to make the investment ICO projects when you wish to invest and make money.
But altcoins are really best part than ICO investment because there is confirmation this have worth and fluctuation is the only but ICO is not like that to invest.

You can read the white paper, read the website, read the roadmap, read everything you need to read about the project. You also need to know the quality and integrity of the  team and advisors also check if they are into smart contracts that will somehow help to give you an understanding of the project.

Its not easy to look for good new coins now as the market are still down and most of the ICO are not doin good in terms of collecting funds. Though there’s still some project who took risk in this market that is worth investing for, you just need to find that gem. Altcoins investment is still good for long term holding.

me i would only focus on alts cause they are the future for me, if market will recover (and it is slowly happening) prices of some coins could grow immediately so investing now could lead to nice earnings.

Many coins can grow in value and they can be earned, only now the market is in the bottoms and there is no way to guess the coin for growth.

It’s the altcoin with cheapest value I would love to choose instead of coins with high values.  Just check out this method, you will  have good turn over. Set a threshold to your revenue. So selling even at 10 percent profit even when the trend is so bad, will yield you good profits. Invest a good capital amount in atleast 5 to 7 altcoins which will in return give you good return either from on or the other coins out of 7 you invested.

Don't invest in any coin project that doesn't have a commercial use case regardless of the rhetorics or attractiveness of the white paper. A coin that hopes to thrive only by listing on exchanges will crash and die quickly. Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency because by default it has acquired an unmatched commercial usage. Don't invest in any ICO token if it is not listed and performing on the exchange for at least 3 months period.

Well, there are a lot things that you need to know before investing. I'd reccoment a couple of articles from Cointelegraph for starters: https://cointelegraph.com/ico-101/how-to-choose-an-ico-to-invest-in#learn-from-vcinvestors, https://cointelegraph.com/press-releases/what-is-the-best-ico-to-invest-in-for-2018.

Before we make a decision to join an ASO, but you need to research about the quality of ASO, is it good for the future, can check on their website.

In every field of business always has a risk. In trading on cryptocurrency (digital money trading) has a high risk as in the ICO project. In general, several things must be done before we determine the choice to invest in an ICO project; read the Whitpaper, roadmap, knowing background of team , identify who the manager is. But as a newbee , better that you learn from the basic about cryptocurrency and ICO project.

I don't think that novices should start by investing in ICO, because the current ICO fraud rate is very high. If you don't have a mature identification method, then stay away from ICO!
