Bitcoin Forum

I only invested in bitcoin because a friend convinced me to. If there is a new cryptocurrency, what are the parameters / requirements that would make you decide to invest on it?

of course i will invest a cryptocurrencies that bring new tech and great features,,
also a professional team behind the project my friend

while I am more focused on old tokens, like ethereum or bitcoin
judging from the number of tokens, I was a little hesitant with the development of other tokens..

I will invest in that case if they will be really promising and nice for my money and for the future development of the market. Crypto allows to wait and I will do this.

the parameter is,
1. confidence
2. knowing in detail
3. project partners
4. community
5. a lot of reviews
from the fifth, it can be concluded that the project has fulfilled the requirements to become an investment place

In order to invest in the crypto market, you need to decide why you are going to do it and for what. You have to decide on what exactly cryptocurrency you want to invest your money in. As long as bitcoin's use as a currency remains unclear, the price is likely to be volatile and the risk of a bubble is relatively high. New crypto is heavily dependent on the price of the bitcoin.

Investing in soemthing new is a key to the future and all of us will do it without any dependences do they want it or not. Without investing in new projects crypto will go down I am sure.

investing in bitcoin is a very good choice for investors who have substantial capital, but it is very risky with very unstable prices, actually a lot of altcoins can be quite good long-term investments, such as eth, which is quite stable, maybe lately the price has dropped, but at times like this it can be possible to hunt investors, because there are so many possibilities for eth to have a promising price

Why not? It is better to invest in a new crypto. But at the moment do not forget that there are better coins in the market like PRG, ICX and LISK. These are totally great and will shine very soon.

It kind of depends on how much money you have to invest into cryptocurrencies.  I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice... all just my opinion.  But here is what I would do:

Diversify!  Let's say you have $1000 to invest.  I would take a pick out of the top 10 coins and put maybe 60-80% of your money there.  With the rest of the money I would look for projects that you think are interesting and have good teams that have performing good work.  These coins should be very inexpensive today but may be worth much more later.

Don't do that, new meaning has no track record history so depend on what you make analysis?. Replace money into market ( old and new coins ) is very risky right now because market still doesn't show any good moving, besides that many new crypto fail before listing. Invest into bitcoin is wise step and keep doing that until market go up again.

There are thousand of cryptocurrency out there but not each is worthy to invest. I already have invested in more than 10 coins and looking for some good projects for investing little. If there is a possibility of having profit ad I have an available fund, why not?

Yes I will but of course it will have terms and condition. That new crypto must offer a new technology/ a good product / a brilliant Idea. And i will check their teammate background too if they are skillful or not and of course the team must not be anymous. after that their developer must be active and if in the start time they already have a product it will be more good. Cause invest in a new crypto without researching is too risky than buy the top cryptocurrency.

I continue to invest in projects that I like and will not prevent me from doing this further, because I believe that investing is a process that will continue, it will all live, but not as long as I would like.

I think if you want to buy some of new crypto coin you should make some research for details. Like you should read the white paper,their team, their update project and many think. And avoid the coins/token with hyip program this will not make you profit. But i think you can buy with 10 top coin at coinmarketcap for long investment

for you to do that you, need to know about the project you are about to invest. some of the project are not legit and how do you know those that are not legit?
for me, you will look the team mangers and and the economic factor of the project if they will meet there hardcap. secondly check if the softcap is much because to any project with much volume of softcap hardly succeed. to me this are just the guild lines and also do more research.

Usually, investing in BTC is good but at the same time you can spread your risk by also investing in other coins. The ways to take into account before investing in altcoins is to look and see if you feel the project will get investments or if the coin would be strong and good enough to compete against the market.

Try to browse the altcoin announcement thread and also the bounties.
You will see there that projects are just repeating in industry. Like ICO's for exchange, environment and gambling.
If I were you I would look for something unique.
Do not go with just the hype. For a lot of times they tend to be scams so be careful with that.

Bitcoin is a good one already. If you want to divide your capital more then better make a good research first.

There are lots of coins and numerous earning strategies. You should do your own research before you invest. Who will you blame when you suck?  And I'm sure you will with such an approach.

Investing to new coins now isn't a good idea anymore though there are really exceptional coins out there.
But what makes me worry are those coins that are good in promotion but soon their project will turn into a scam.
They won't show their true nature in the beginning. What you need to do is to do a lot of research about them.

Investing on bitcoin is good idea but by investing on the other coins you can be able to make more profits in short or long time but not all coins were worth to invest so you need enough skills to evaluate the project before investing and invest only if the project is worthy or better stick with bitcoin itself.

I would invest when quantum blockchain comes out. It a totally different cryptography but way faster and possibly 100% immutable. The first crypto on quantum blockchain will get my attention.

The most important thing for me is a transparent team who is willing to do promotional work for the coin. The ones that only show an avatar are not worth investing in unless it is already a well established coin

If crypto space is all about bitcoin alone,then it will be boring by now.There are other coin with great tech and resourceful team,it all about making your research to find them and there are more that will still come,so the answer is yes I will surely invest in new crypto with great tech and great team.

I think I would not choose another crypto because I already believe in bitcoin. I will join this until the end. So many coin already exist but it can not beat bitcoin. Bitcoin still number and the rest just copy it.

Yes, I will invest in a new project, with a note, the project that I followed must be transparent and clear in its development from day to day, even the following month and year. Because following a new project, the risk can be said to be very large, and I am advised to be more careful in choosing it so that I will not regret it. If the admin and their team are not active, it's better to just leave it.

Yes i always invest in new projects if they have somthing intresting to give me,before invest im cerrefuly investigate that project like all names,surnames,medias and history how this projects is created.Now is hard times for all icos and stronger only survive,there u need to invest..

Certainly, what should actually be done is to find and invest in the robust ico project. Because already strong altcoins will not be able to make many breakthroughs. It won't have too many returns. Therefore, we can obtain high returns from new projects.

Lots of thing to be considered first before you do make an investment not just carelessly follow other suggestions without any corresponding analysis of your own or research because
even if its your closest friend it can lead up to a bad investment or he might just use you or whatsoever.

Things to be considered:

Transparent/Good team/developers
Realistic Roadmap
Potential Project

Yes I will also join the invest, I think the safest we invest just the ethereum gan have good future prospects and the possibility of his large careful ride

There are lot of projects were claiming that they will be better than bitcoin but in my opinion it won't be anything better than bitcoin so investing on bitcoin only a good choice if you are a long term investor and keep holding your bitcoin at the hard days to get the maximum profits.

I would invest in a new coin if the project idea attract me. The idea must be disruptive to the market. I will also look at the overall project such as road map and team to be sure that it is a genuine project.

Base on the ways things are going it is very difficult to get confident and invest in any of the icos now but I still believed that investments is all about risk and if you refused to invest your may regret in future.

It's really hard to choose which new altcoins to invest in now because many of them are not unique project. There are already competitors offering the same usecase. But I prefer to invest in trading exchange coins because I know that once the ICO is successful, they will surely have a tradeable exchange where I can sell it easily.

in one word pumpability.

i have given up on finding a good currency a while ago because i saw the real face of altcoins and i didn't like what i saw. so now i only get involved with altcoins realistically instead of naively and with false hopes.
this means a new coin is only a viable investment for me as long as it can be pumped more. in this case some altcoins that are new have experienced pumping teams behind them that will pump it effectively and big which means a huge profit in short term. of course you should also be careful not to get dumped on by the same pumping team because that is what comes next.

Ofcourse! I honestly made up to 25x my investment on ICOs (new cryptocurrency platforms that aren't even launched) last year during the bullish market. But during these red and bear market, there is no guarantee of profit. And even if there is, double digit multipliers are very hard to achieve as of the moment.

I will invest in a new crypto but before that i must do my own research first to find out if it is a good project. I will also look at its telegram group, social media channels like facebook and twitter to see how active it is and what the community say about it.

many considerations that must be taken to have crypto. the concept, technology, existing team will certainly be important things to learn in order to know the potential of the existing crypto. If just follow my friend's taste is not a good thing when it does not want to try to learn and deepen their own. It took an awful lot of crypto fundamental aspects that must be learned and that's important when many want to get lucky and that's the goal of many people started to go in crypto.

Considered Bitcoin as Blue Chips crypto it will gives you a potential return in future but its a  long term. New crypto or ICO just out of the market,  the return is huge but also the risk is high. Check the btc ann you will find a lot of interesting project that will give you a handsome return in future.

You can quickly earn x2 and more only on young promising altcoins. I managed to multiply my state on such cryptocurrencies as OCN (x3), UPP (x3), SOUL (x2). In a falling market, profit is possible only on new coins if you are not greedy and sell on time.

Of course I sometimes invest in new coins, but the investment is small enough, I'm doing your own analysis when choosing ICO, it is not necessary to keep all the money in bitcoins, we need different coins to fill the portfolio.

New crypto coins can be very valuable in terms of price rise. But always the opposite is also possible. Consider the possibility of price decline and even SCAM when investing.

It is really hard for me to predict which one new coin will make success, most of them after listing on exchanges lose value that they have in ICO.

Thats too generalised question really because "ïn which coins to invest is like million dollar question always". And as you said most of the people will surely get into the bitcoin for the first time and some of them may stay with the BTC only. They do this because they feel very safe in their. If you want to invest in altcoins too then at the first time you should be looking after the Top 50 coins only. This is suggested because they will at least have the guarantee of getting recovered if they fall any time in the future. For the other coins apart from top 50 it could be very tough task to achieve as they get lesser attention for the trading in down time. So choose wisely and make trades on the top coins only.

The years 2017 and 2018 has seen a massive influx of blockchain projects into the space, including those that actually do not need the blockchain technology to function. This also saw a lot of scam projects and exit scams taking over the space, with resultant effects of huge losses stemming from investments in 'projects' the owners had no plans whatsoever to further it's course. A friend lost over 23 ETH at the price of $700+ to scam ICOs and this has badly effected his finances (invest what you're willing to lose, he knows that..but a loss is a loss regardless).

This has affected the perception of a lot of investors and how they see new crypto projects. Many have stayed away (like myself) from investments in ICOs until further notice, pending when there's some stability with investments in ICOs. I can not afford to lose money any further, so I'm not putting money in ICOs at the moment. I'm rather investing established coins

to be safer it is better to invest in bitcoin, because when we invest in altcoins, it is still not certain that we will get the benefits we expect

That's why there's a need of deeper research and proper knowledge regarding to the said project, everything is possible both side needs to be well
studied, if you can handle the risk and you believe that there's potentials taking that chance can bring something to your investment, even new coins
can be profitable as long as there's development and good team behinds.

Don't we all do that when we invest into a new ICO? There has been literally BILLIONS of dollar invested in ICO market in 2017 and 2018 combined, thats more investments made to NEW crypto currencies than some countries GDP and even combined stock market all invested into new crypto currencies and I am not even talking about the market in general I am talking about the ICO's that came out in the last 2 years and got funded.

There was couple of them that even passed the treshold of hundred million dollars which makes them already a big huge company whereas companies like whatsapp and all that startup jazz ones got much much less money for a lot less returns. It is a wild world in ICO land however we have all been there at one point or another.

I would not risk investing my day in new coins. Because cryptocurrency is now at the correction stage and not all coins can survive. Particularly weak and new, I think it's worth waiting for growth.

I would. But only if  I am sure about the project. Before I invest I always check the legitimacy of the coin that I am planning to invest. Parameters like the feasibility of the platform, the team running the project, the technical details in the whitepaper and website are just some of the things that I make sure is authentic. to avoid scam

not excluded. If there is confidence in the project and its prospects are visible, then of course you can buy coins. But at the moment, the payback period of such investments is stretched for an unknown amount of time.
Having participated in bounty companies, I have already mentioned several projects that I would like to have tokens just looking at how the team works.

Of course why not. We cannot be fixated on one crypto like bitcoin, At the moment there are many coins or tokens are very good at developing their products. Separate our investment into several crypto who have a good vision and mission is the same as opening up for more income from various coins

Very well said. Not every new cryptocurrency introduced to the market succeed. As for me, my parameters on investing on a particular coin is the usefulness of their product and system since no one wants to buy a shit right? Lastly every investor has this instinct if the coin will pump in a span of time or not it really depends on the market situation.

I would invest in new crypto,but it should be complient with my requirements and tokenometrics.
I hate projects with big capitalisation

Being alive and young at this time is something to be happy about because opportunities like this may not come by in the next 10 years. The parameters I would consider before investing in a new cryptocurrency are; what problem is it seeking to solve? The team behind it, will it hold water and be stable when all the hype is gone?

With so many coins in the market and new one coming in, only proves that new coins are worth investing, in fact so many people made profits on these ICO's sp it's best to spread your portfolio and include new coins or existing coins apart from Bitcoin.

Well I'm investing in several new crypto because it's still not popular and still cheap but some of it have bright future I think (I will not tell you the project because you need to read), not of all new crypto is good so you must choose carefully to avoid loss in the future. Better now invest so in the future you will not say 'Why I didn't invest in this type of investment'

I invest only in bitcoin, etherum and bcd. the reason that makes me attractive investing in it is because of its popularity and movement in the more dominant coin market compared to other Altcoi. That's why I am more interested in investing in the coin.

I might probably agree in your idea. It is because at this moment their are still coming and exist number of coins which is not yet praise of and I guess it needs for us to get more research of what is the value and purpose of it. I am pretty sure it will function in the community helpfully.

I was focused on the technology when I invested. I like new things and I believe crypto is something for the future. Also the popularity made me invest too.

one of the biggest problems that you will encounter when trying to invest in a new coin is that the new coin has no history so you can never analyze it to be able to come up with an educated decision. as a result you will end up making a bet in a new coin and because of the bad history of altcoins and their pump and dumps these types of bets never end well for you in the long run.
with that said the preference is obviously always to invest in an altcoin that has at least some amount of history so you can make a better decision based on analysis of the pump and dumps that happed so far.

I invested in bitcoin because I believed in it but also this didn't stop me to invest in some other altcoins. I think it is worth investing in more than just one coin.

Since you are in crypto  most probably the reason that attract you is to earn some money from this new technology investment. So if there is a new coin that is able to help you achieve what you want in a faster way why won't you make use of this chance. For me i will definitely consider the new coin investment however i will only do so if i am really comfortable in choosing the right coin as we know some might be scam or can make you lose big overnight, without a strong knowledge in choosing is very risky.

It is now full of interest altkoinov that can rise well. All you need to do is track the market. I personally choose for myself the top 20-30 coins according to a cap, as more menie sure about them.

You will not make a good profit investing only on one coin, you should spread or increase your portfolio to increase your chances for a good profit, if you only invest only on one coin like Bitcoin you will be disappointed because all your hopes and profits are tied only on one coin.

I buy new tokens that I think have a good vision and a good team. But you should know that, buying a new token is more risky than investing in old tokens.. Also if you invest in the good tokens, you will get more money than this new token. So I'm buying a new tokens with a certain part of my money, But i not buy new tokens with my all money because of risk.

I am investing some amount of money in altcoin only. Because i believe i will get more more profit than bitcoin . If you invest bitcoin you won't get 10X but we can easily get more than 10 X profit in altcoin. Right now i follow PundiX,Xvg Altcoin's.

with the current conditions and situations I am afraid that if I start investing with new coins because even now there is no guarantee of price certainty and the development of cryptocurrencies, in my country crypto currencies are still prohibited for direct transactions

I would invest in a new crypto because usually new cryptos starts with a low price so it is more beneficial because when the price goes up all the investment goes up

Yes, I always look for a new Cryptocurrency project for me to invest, but of course the project I researched before I decided to join and invest in it. Because at this time there are a lot of new projects that fail, so we must be smart to choose a good Cryptocurrency for us to invest. Don't let our money go to waste.

I do not invest in coins that are not shown on a single coin. Invest only in the top 20

well, this is an interesting discussion for all members here. for new coins, especially those who still have ico projects. this problem is a matter of knowledge, experience, especially products and technology of the coin. it's difficult in every choice because we have to be prepared on coins or ico scams can always happen. but if you want to be safer, you can invest in bitcoin and altcoin that have been traded.

Investing in a new crypto is like buying lottery tickets...
I prefer to invest in stable coins from top 20... And they are very cheap now...

I believe that in the next six months, only the mad will be invested in new cryptocurrencies, the market price is restrained from falling, and probably flat is waiting for us throughout October and the first half of November.

I would not risk investing in new and unverified coins. I'm afraid to invest in something that I do not trust. Because until the coin becomes popular and does not earn credibility, I would not recommend investing in it.

To invest in a new coin I can make only a draft of the new coins. If it is really good and unique, then it will be a good investment in the long run.

I am going to continue to invest in cryptocurrency. I really want the market to come to life as soon as possible. And we could already see a positive situation. To calmly continue to invest.

It is certainly true. There are an awful lot of crypto and not just continue to just the bitcoin has increased. We won't know which coins will soar high and certainly invest in a lot of coin making opportunities result will be greater. but the new coins are also not fully can be a good choice. a good developer team will get the spotlight specifically for this.

I've been investing in a new cryptocurrency. I can invest if it's a project I like again. This project must focus on a new idea and to be technologically superior to others.

Off course I would as why any one will wish  not to get profit form aspiring new coin.In a launch itself we come to know how technically the coin is good and how much we can buy

I will invest further in cryptocurrency. I think that after the correction he will pass into himself. I want to believe that in the future, the cryptocurrency market will get stronger and stronger.

You have a good friend) I absolutely agree with his advice. But I would also recommend that you invest some small capital in some promising tokens.

Actually trying a new crypto or staying with the old one is the same, that is basically looking for profit. What needs to be seen is the extent of future potential. I think there is nothing wrong with trying new things and that doesn't mean leaving the old ones, because the old ones have proven with all their popularity.

IMO, investment in new cryptos will always be profitable if the crypto you invest is potential. Therefore ICO selection should be cautious and careful to avoid potential ICOs. I usually choose the ICO based on the Token sale index and the ICO project manager.

New coins are coming everyday, and only a few of them are remaining on the  market. Investing on a new coin comes with tons of risks. At this time in the cryptomarket, not going after the new coins will be a wise and safe decison.

Of course I would love to do that. I think it does not matter if you will invest in a new or old crypto. What important is as long as you checked that you will gain profit from that crypto. Laways be vigilant in choosing the ICO for your time and effort not to be wasted.

Right now I prefer most to accumulate BTC and ETH. I don't see a really interesting alts for me at present time.

I think bitcoin is good to make a long term investment, but if you wish to find a quick profit, then choosing bitcoin can't be the best choice to find a quick profit.

yes i will be like to invest in any good potential coin if project is good and good professional team and tech behind its which have ability to promote project

of course not, because in the current market situation, if I invest in a new crypto it only makes me lose, because many new crypto cannot survive and even the price cannot go up (keep going down), therefore I am more interested to invest in old crypto rather than new crypto.

From what we are seeing right now, there's no argument why you have that opinion as newly created coins after hitting the exchange got completely dumped and as an investors you won't be happy seeing your holding depreciated its value, much better to hold existing quality coins when opportunties
had been showed up, buying in the dip and hold it till bounce back happen,  maybe you can invest with new crypto if you really understand the worth
or if the risk is much lesser knowing that in can be usable in the long run.

Bitcoin is a solid investment however unless you have a large amount of money to invest you can only buy fractions of one instead of multiple coins. Newer coins that are cheaper in price become attractive as everyone is searching for the next Bitcoin and hoping to get in there early enough to make some impressive gains. Some of the newer projects are based on real products rather than simple exchanges of value so they offer good opportunities to invest with.

You can see the project that has at new altcoin, then you can see if the project can be accepted and used in the long term, if then, you can buy and start investing in the coin. Then the second, what you have to pay attention to is an exchange, if in the future the coin will be traded in a large exchange like bittrex, binance and others then you don't have to hesitate to start investing in the coin. Both of these factors can be used as references when you want to invest in a new altcoin.

I think I would invest into a new coin on the market. There is so many of coins already, so what is the percent of chance that this newbie will succeed?! I suppose very low and only conspiracy of couple of crypto whales could pump the price of the new coin, but just for a moment.

If they use technology for the concept and realistic ICO target, you should join it. I'll not recommended any project because people have different mindset, opinion and asset just fit with what you have. The safety way is invest/ trade with bitcoin, eth and xrp ( for example ) because they already survive and have big investor. Up to you, stay calm and calculate careful.

As things are right now and with sad news emanating daily from the crypto space of scam ICOs, it will really be a bit difficult convincing me to invest my hard earned cash in any. I have been beaten on different occasions. Now I have grown shy trying again. I would rather engage in social work to earn airdrops than buy into an ICO, until things clear up and ICOs become regulated.

I will invest in a new cryptocurrency, there are more promising cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin.

Yes, i will  :) i will look into their project, if good future i will invest in  :D

Yes, I'm investing in new coins and I think this is a great opportunity to make a profit. For me the most important is the team and the product. When selecting new projects will appear fraud, be careful in investments.
