Hello folks,

I've a question in my mind regarding altcoins and ICO's. As the market growth, there are tons of altcoins out there and lots of ICO's on the way. In my opinion, the total marketcap represents the value of the company. From this perspective, consider an altcoin with 5 to 10 employee and 10million dollars of marketcap. 5 to 10 employee and look at the amount. Do these companies really worth this much? I've been trading for more then a year but could not figure out this clearly in my mind.

So what is your opinion?

I think everyone is worth a chance at success which is why some altcoin have huge total cap while others have a low total cap.
most important factor is their chances of success, how is their growth in the market ?
are they a dump coin ? or a coin worthy of hodl ?

you need to be sure

of course they are not worth it and this is my opinion personally, many companies are just closing down even without letting the participants normally earn money, after which we nahyvaem cheaters, in general there are many and profitable that have a good result and great opportunities - but their units) and just do what would not have been companies and tokens all depend on the state of bitcoin)

Yes, this is what is why most of the countries want to limit the altcoin and ICO, because most of the time they look more like a hype, the ICO project financing amount is too large, there are a lot of bubbles.

I think it's depends on their activities, how can they are involving over cryptocurrency market. if they are able to control via some of employees then why they are not able to success over their programs.

Yes it's exaggerated very often. Usually people only invest in the idea, 10 or 20m usd at that stage is a lot of money, in the outside world investments in companies at that stage are usually worth hundreds of thousands usd, not more

I just did not want it to call it "bubble" but it is the word we need. This subject disturbing me for a while. We are offering an ICO millions of dollars. What did they do to worth that much ? Should I gather my team with 10 ppl to be a millionere? With a good marketing and a fair project It should workout for me too. Confused too much.

It is too sweeping a statement to make, collectively for differing icos. Depending on the project, scope and vision, sometimes that makes it worth enough to attract investment strength.

"sometimes that makes it worth enough to attract investment strength." good projects like you mention, are reaching amounts like a hundred million dollars, which does not make sense at all.

The ICO token is not what the company is worth. If you read their whitepaper, it is like people or donating ETH or Bitcoin for their project. The token can be worth 0 and also don't give any right in the company.
But thoses tokens are traded like it was the valuation of the company. I don't know why, but it is the rich investors who decide what is the worth of the token/coin. But it is not the real value of the company.
The company already got their funds at the ICO.

I believe that legit ICO has more members than that. The thought of 5-10 employee is wrong. Maybe the team is 5-10 and considering that ICO is a company, then they would have a hundred employees in their company before they enter the blockchain. So $10m is worth it for them and for their company as well.

I wouldn't shut off such an ICO immediately. Perhaps within the 10 million they want to raise, they have included a budget for hiring more staff to help them develop and run the project or even outsourcing part of the project. I think a legit ICO, even if it starts with 5-10 employees would update their community as they grow in partners and add more people to their staff.

Hello

Mostly that people deserve nothing, not a millions dollars. But people are buying, the herd are running the market and investing their pennys into useless trash

you are WRONG. market capitalization for altcoins doesn't show anything at all. people mistakenly use it to compare coins with each other and rank them but it is WRONG nonetheless.
market capitalization is only used for companies because their shares are meaningful and they can not have unreasonable (fake) number of shares in the market. but an altcoin can have unlimited (fake) number of circulating coins in the market and that easily increases its market cap.

for example a shitcoin worth 1 cent can have a bigger market cap than bitcoin if it has a couple of hundred billion coins in circulation. and it is easy to create that much. there are already 200 coins with that much coins in circulation anyways!

Well, it's about the product, not the number of employees. If one person produces a product that is needed by so many people, then such a product will be costly

Great ICOs are really unusual, but if you happen to find the right one, then yes I'd they say they are worth it.

Once you start winning in the crypto money market, you will really appreciate it. This market is a very good choice for easy money making. It takes labor to spend a long time. It will be easy where you sit.

In the real world investments in companies worth $10 - $20million implies that the company is big. Then again its' not about the number of employees, but the quality of the employees executing the project and then ultimately, the product which is what people are investing on. In the cryptoworld unfortunately, we mostly invest in ideas, which is why a lot people insist on seeing a working product before investing in any ICO.

If you went back to the days when Apple was just Steve Jobs and Steve Wosniak working in a garage and they said they thought their business was worth $10 Million and you could buy 10% of the company for $1 Million would you think it is a good deal? When your dealing with a start up business the number of people working on the project should not be that big a consideration. It is the quality of the people leading the project that will ultimately determine whether investing in it is a good idea.

Yeah not only that you will appreciate it but that will encourage you to trust and invest more with it because you have saw and witnessed your gain.
This is wrong mindset, don't ever think that it is an "EASY" money making. The crypto market is one of the hardest market that has been existing with various coins to choose so that makes someone mostly the newbies hard to find best coins.

that is true about the real world and about real companies. but we are not discussing real companies here. we are discussing altcoins and they can create new coins out of thin air without any kind of rules. and having a higher "worth" or their "market cap" doesn't make them good.

for example one 42 coin is worth $951,581 (nearly $1 million per coin) but that doesn't make it a good coin. it doesn't have any usage, no product, no real value. just price.

The cost of the company depends primarily on the product and the idea that the founders of the project want to implement. And sometimes the number of employees does not affect the total cost of the company. Everything is purely individual, so you always need to look at the roadmap of the project, what they have to do after the ICO. If the list is large and long, then they will need a lot of money, if the project is half already developed and he has very little money left for its implementation, and they will not need a lot of investment.

I personally think that many companies are too overpriced. and so many companies fail at fundraising. because for some simple projects just spent a huge amount of money. it is unclear where and why.

Where do you take these numbers from? Are there any specific examples of coins with such marketcap and that number of employees? And it is also very important, how much was put into promotion and development of a project, because if the capitalization is 10 million and even more was spent on making it happen, it's a complete loss. And besides, it's not like this bunch of people owns the coins, so they probably don't have anything close to 10 million anyway. Surely, though. sometimes it's hard to believe, how much money do some projects cost. I think that the capitalizations are truly unimaginable, I guess people overinvest a lot. But not just in cryptos, since, looking at the marketcaps of top stock companies, I can see that they also have huge caps and 10 million would be nothing.

I think it does not represent any particular value, and this company does not stand so personally my opinion

Altcoins and ICO are successful in different fields, they have their own project to develop.

Their prices are due to the demand of the people as they develop their project after ICO.

Number of workers are not a ig issue, ofcorse at first they only need small number of people to work with.

The crypto market is so unpredictable. You don't need numerous team members to believe in a project. You just need to read about the reputation of the team members. Similarly, you can also check the track record of the team behind a particular project.

That's their worth and their market cap shows on how much they are. The people invested to their coin which is their product that reflects to the total worth of their company (coin). But it's not forever that they will be worth like that because if investors will start dumping, expect that they will get lower marketcap.

Some worth it some clearly do not. I think there should be some kind of legal crypto auditors all crypto company must report to

The marketcap of a particular crypto coin is usually an estimated value of the total number of the coins multiple by the market price of the coin at the particular moment in time. It doesn't actually represent the net worth of the project or the crypto company. They are basically an assumptions and can be either true or not.

Yes, such market cap will be maintained if they can sustain their market price as well. If they ended up not maintaining their market performance because nobody is believing on them, no trading happening, then such market cap is useless.

I also don't really understand that, but maybe because actually blockchain-based companies don't need a lot of employees, unlike companies that run real, everything can be handled with just a few computers and some people are smart-minded therefore even though this company is big and continues to grow but they don't have many employees

Because you really dont need tons of developers to do the job, hire the right people and they can do lots of the work. Its not the typical company where there are paper and grunt work wherein you need other departments in order to work.

Making an investment is really worth it as the bitcoin now showing the positive sign in crypto market, many of the analyst are also showing their positive thoughts about the bitcoin. Bitcoin is really good for investment in the long term many investors are getting profit.

The Crypto market is a free market, meaning that anyone is free to build any kind of project they want in the market, though the problem I have with so many altcoins in existence is that they don't really have anything to offer to the community and that way just creating a coin that will never be relevant even in years to come, though there are some few altcoins with very great potentials and I am sure they are going to make great impact in the future. 

Since i am here in cryptocurrency my hard work was really worth it because i earn extra income here by joining in different bounties and sometimes i am gonna making an investment so far so good for me. Hopefully it will continue in the future.

It will worry me if an ICO amntaking part in has few employees because that tells me that the fellas are only together to scam me. Another point there is that any ICO without a developed project in mind will.end up not producing any product. It is always ending in a scam. Am very careful about this things.

No volume means that these coins aren't really worth something. Yes, having a good market cap is good but having no volume that will make these kind of coins worthless as if no one wanted to sell/buy them.

There are coins with an interesting product but weak marketing and many of these coins are not traded on top exchanges.
This largely explains their low price and lack of interest from investors.The General state of the market is also of great importance.

Yes it is really worth it because this time the market is up again and there is very good time to take profit and regular do this work with full faith and have patience in this work and you will absolutely get the positive result in this work.

To be honest, I even don't know about that and don't think about that. I only see what is happening on the market and I never think about what you said. If the project can run with only 5 to 10 employee and they can be a good project for a long time, then they will deserve that. We cannot say that the project with has 5 to 10 employee is not good and they cannot compete with the other project. What we need to analyze is how good they are to stay survive in the market.

The number of employees only reflects the stage of development of the project.The bigger and more attractive the project becomes in the eyes of investors,the bigger the team will become.Scaling is a prerequisite for successful development.

I dont think the number of employee is represent a market value. Its technology company and doesnt need big number of employee and need quality employee. If we looking on bitcoin, there is no employee or CEO, but market cap value more than 100billion dollar because people believe this coin represent security and economic value

There's no clear employee but still moving and progressing, it's not about who's working behind, but the project itself will bring success and the value of their work it will depend how community will support them, every projects have it's value especially those who really exist with the usable products.

There are some companies / projects who can value a lot of even if not have a lot of employees and also there can be some coins which have some value on market but can't be selled all at that price.

Every one of them that made it big started small. Even bitcoin itself that is big today and with a market share of more than 50% also started it small before growing into something big, same as Ethereum, Ripple and the rest of them that has come this far. So if you see anyone of them that has a small market cap doesn't mean that the team behind it are not also working hard to get their shot at success.

Though these days it's difficult for most cryptocurrency to survive, because there are already lots of big coins in the market and investors ,, especially bigger investors tends to go for the bigger coins and not the small ones. So small ones finds it difficult to survive.

One of the things about blockchain technology is the way it offers developers the chance to prove themselves. So, within this space, every project is worth the trial, so as to show to the world new ways of doing things. Which is why, before investing in any project it is neccessry to make good research.

Its really worth investing if the project you choose to make investments are good and having a potential on the future,but if the projects are not good then it's not worthy to invest, and if you are looking for a good project then i recommend Dencoin they offer ICO now and you may check the website of Dencoin for more info.

I don't see anything wrong with it, the no of team members does not determine the success or the monetary value of a project, go through the project aims and objectives, the structures and the interface the you also make research regarding the team and their qualifications

And in my opinion, like that, most traders and investors see the company value of the total marketcap usually in cmc. And the total marketcap is determined by how the company developer develops the company.



But that only applies to non-securities utility tokens, when the token has no value to the company. And the ico token can determine the value of the company if the type of token launched is a security token.

Cryprocurrency is a risky business in that, you can either gain money or lose your money. I think its really worth it when the investment you are partaking is good.

the company responsible for cryptocurrency is only managed by a number of people, it has become a necessity, cryptocurrency is not talking about the number of employees but the ability of employees and investors to maintain price stability. they get the results of their hard work on cryptocurrency, even though they only have 5-10 employees.

yes you are right, that it is feasible or not depends on how they work in developing the project. not looking at the number of employees working. the problem is here, because every month cryptoqurrency always grows and competes with each other. and what determines whether or not it is appropriate depends on the development or potential that the coin has.

I believe cryptocurrency will go far and to places so its worth it though its risky. I know sometimes we do have doubts somehow on what we want to invest in but that shouldn't hinder us from moving forward. Its really worth it.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If a project of 5 to 10 employees can make the project great and maintain such high liquidity. Satoshi started bitcoin alone and look at the market cap for bitcoin today. To me it really doesn't Matter.

96% ICO cost nothing. Investment in ICO is like buying a lottery ticket. After entering the stock exchange, tokens fall to the bottom because there is no working project to hold the price and attract a buyer. Then over time, these tokens are forgotten and the project disappears from the market.

yes, over time, if the developer of the project or the token that they have created will most likely disappear by itself, I mean if there is no further price development, it certainly will not be useful to be traded or invested.

Sure i think it is worth it.
Altcoin is have a unique market graphic, look when BTC go down altcoin is following it and when BTC go up Altcoin just go down instant, and slowly grow after it.
It is really worth it for me, you have a big change to buy when price go down and have a potential to get a huge profit.

Because there have been many tokens that have entered the stock exchange and continue to fall down and disappear, because the team doesn't think about it even though it's their responsibility, or are they just looking for profits from investors?

It might be a bit difficult with different ideologies in understanding this digital currency trading and of course not everything can be done easily.
The easiest way to buy when prices are cheap and sell when prices soar, the growth of Altcoin prices is limited, which means we cannot always predict it but clearly do our best and always pay attention.

total market capitalization would be of value to the company if the strongest cryptocurrency ether and bitcoin were stable and the exchange would be one and not many as it is now. On many exchanges there are a lot of fake trades in order to make the altcoin more expensive, but its real price can be 0, as well as all its ICO

Of course it's worth it. Look at Bitcoin which has recently risen more than 5.000. I think this is a cool result and it will be much better

I don't think the success of any ICO should be subjected to the team members but rather what has the project for to offer and who are those backing it

sometimes something is inappropriate because the results are very small or you move wrong so you have to lose.
if you do business well and you can understand when you have to make a profit and when it will last, you will get a commensurate profit.
Cryptocurrency can make you rich and also make you lose, so be careful and don't rush when doing something.

Of course, this is a great result, but there are Altcoins that do this almost every day. They are growing by 100-200 percent and then they fall and then grow again. and people make very big money

There are some altcoins and ICOs that are still worth it to follow. However, we must be careful, moreover in participating in certain ICOs in order to avoid the scams and not successful ICO. Deep and certain analysis on ICO and some altcoins are very important. We need to know how exactly they offer and how they maintain their coins or tokens to survive in the market.
