Bitcoin Forum

In other words, what makes you decide to follow a project?

Basically, I read their respective white papers and think deeply about it. Whitepapers provides me some insights about what their company wants in the future and the benefits that it can make. If I think the project will be give a great opportunity to many of us. I will support it knowing that it is not a scam.

Practical use case that it will resolve one of the common problems thru blockchain tech will make me follow a project.

Oh, there are many ways, sometimes the team is well know in the space and there is some natural growth, other times it takes a long campaign and good work from marketing.

Because , sometimes the team is well know in the space and there is some natural growth, other times it takes a long campaign and good work from marketing.

There are a lot of investors out there who is looking for new projects where they can invest with the view to profit from them. When a project is full of security, promises and potential, investors will go after it without any second thought. That is how the projects get followers.

A lot to consider as there are many parts that play a role in the success of growing followers. People who want to know about cryptocurrency take the time to read through their white paper and other things that make it more clear what it is they have to offer and giving more of an idea and the potential it has for the people who invest in it. This is how the followers increase by having a good overview of the the things you can offer in terms of opportunities.

Basically teams connection, ability to marketing, unique concept, interesting project logo and clearly written whitepaper

I can't take this much. Many whitepaper already excites people. The issue is not what's written in whitepaper, but how much can be accomplished. Some white papers like that.

Some few reasons that makes me follow a crypto project are;
The Team, The Product the project intend to deliver, The Roadmap of the project and The white paper, if all these things are in my interest, I will follow such project.

Encouraging people to the crypto is the main doing that has a really good results, other ways to gain followers are not so preferable and they are not oriented for the future.

With the help of people only because nothing could be better that happy people and it is a main marketing step in the crypto's development on the market.

A lot of factors I consider, but I'll limit it to the following;

1. Real life application or use case. The project must be solving an actual problem and it's novel to the space
2. The experience and history of the team.
3. The kind of reviews it'd getting in the crypto world. I'll be really weary of negative reviews.
4. The whitepaper, is it well written and solutions therein well communicated? If yes, I'll follow the project.
5. The roadmap is equally very important for me. How soon the beta will be ready for the space is very important and influences my decision to follow.

the reason I follow a project usually I see teams, white papers, road maps and the concept of the project ;)

I follow a project after read the white paper and also doing a background check in other to find out the genuinty of the team. The Ann thread comments do also provide me with good information about the project.  From there I subscribed to icorating and I do read the reviews on the project before adopting it as a project to invest in or follow.
I have been using this also to know the bounty I joined also as this is very important to me.

most important is reading project whitepaper and check the team member background, telegram active member discussion and bitcointalk Announcement thread comment also a best way to let me decide want to follow the project or not

so every project must have a factor that can make them have lots of followers and more importantly, investors. whether it's because of the team, partners, roadmap, or even the whitepaper and applications that are being developed. so far in my opinion, projects that have more familiar partners are easier to get followers

I think it is through the media such as telegram, facebook, and also the twitter. The media really gives the big influences on how people like or dislike the cryptocurrency. Bt, the other reason is that they are following the hype of the people around them. In this case, we must be more careful if we are only a follower. Just learn about crypto, learn the knowledge, arrange certain strategy, analyze certain ICO or coins to invest, adbn then make a smart and wise decision.

At the beginning of my activity in cryptocurrency, I watched the project pool, if it was large, it was worth entering the project. But as time passed, and my principles changed, I see who is in the organization of the project.

Usually I invest in projects that have real life usages or will solve common problems. The white paper of the projects help making a decision. They mention technical aspect of the product, the service and all the strategies and descriptions.

You might want to read their whitepaper first before anything else. Whitepaper should compose of all their plans, ideas, target dates and etc. Some of the ICO this year has an interesting concept and ideas but of course, we should be aware that there are a lot of scammers out there waiting for their prey. I would suggest that you study their ideas and try to see if you can do some background check about their team which can be a big factor in choosing a good ICO.

Hi, I am now investing in projects in which ICO has recently ended. I invest only in projects where there were successful ICOs and buy tokens where the price is below the price of ICO.

A possibility to earn something is making me follow a project I have chosen. It's not greed or lust for money but just a desire and a dream that can be satisfied with crypto.

The hype brought by last year's golden days of cryptocurrency was the one reponsible for gaining of followers. New followers thought that cryptocurrency is the fastest way to get reach. But, reality checks. Almost 10 months of bloody months has been so disappointing for new comers.

I think new cryptocurrecies can gain followers if the project is original, believable and has a team of developers and marketeers that will not hide under the curtain of anonymity of the blockchain.

On this forum i usually follow all the good coins, while if you are refering to ico projects then i do my own research about each project and try to make sure that the project is practical and will be popular and with a competent team, we have to be very careful now with all the scammers around.

First of all the advertising is important. Every time I see an add about cryptos I get curious so I gain all the info I can find online about it. This way a particular crypto is gaining followers

In my opinion, one way to get more cryptocurrency followers is to campaign for cryptocurrency through social media or by presenting in detail about cryptocurrency.

I like the project only if I see potential in it. I'm not strong enough to distinguish between fraudulent projects, as many of them I still can not distinguish from normal, but it is the demand for the project always find.

I follow only if the service provided by the project seems interesting for me. If I or my friends could use it in the future.

After examining a project through its White Paper, Team, Social Media especially LinkedIn, Website. Solutions for the crypto world that they offer. They make me convinced that I am following a legitimate and useful project. Naturally, I follow it even after the ICO to those projects that have great potential.

I currently like to follow projects with the "Working Product" and projects in which Charlie Shrem (https://twitter.com/CharlieShrem) is an Advisor.

My positive thinking especially for those who are just beginning  :) We are Bounty hunters that every day we improve to find a good project worthy of belonging in our crypto world.
Despite the negative side of the ICOs, we frequently find wonderful projects of a very high standard.

in following the project certainly consider he replied: the concept and the purpose of the project is good or not for the future and have benefits. This will be an important consideration in due time is quite many projects springing up but does not have a clear concept. in fact, there is project impressed for what it is without having a definite benefit.

There are a few good methods, if a particular crypto want to gain a large number of followers. These include:

1. Airdrops
2. Bounty campaigns
3. Listing in major excanges
4. Promotional campaigns in partnership with exchanges
5. Advertisement in mainstream media

You are right, this forum gives you loads of information about cryptocurrency. Like bounty campaigns, ICO's also social media is making them more popular apart from that those who are in this forum share and discuss everything about the market. That's how it increases its follower's.

Before it even starts having followership, it has to be an idea  that is unique and must be a utility of some sort, the team behind the project needs to be good at least in marketing and promotions! If it is able to surmount this first stage all it needs to gain more; is a strong community of dedicated believers not dumpers, people who  can attach, know and keep the value of what they are holding! this way no one goes giving their holdings cheap because what kills a good project is dumpers. It can build followership using all social media channels, getting people to do tasks via twitter, facebook, reddit, VK, linkedIn and rewarding them with tokens via airdrops.

for the new project I followed it if the project was exciting in the future, but now it's difficult to find a good project, the fraudsters are very smart in doing interesting projects

The development of the project and also the inyegrity of the team members.

I focus on a project usually because I like their ideas, and everything seems to be true and feasible, and it would be better if there were some government or authority support. There is also the size of the community. A good community is one of the key factors for a project to be successful.

If the project is promising and there is some kind of technology that will possibly work in real life. Also if you work in a bounty or airdrop you need to follow the project. Sometimes there are such projects that attract at first sight and it is impossible not to subscribe to them.

The main reason I focus on a project is its products and partners, of course, if its team itself is very popular! Because I think the strength of the partner means the success rate and promotion of the project!

Mainly through mainstream media for the really new ones and crypto news media and the price changes for the ones that used to be interested and not interested anymore. People who have no idea what bitcoin is usually sees it from reddit and twitter and instagram or whatever type of social media they are using and they see a lot of news about how bitcoin went up in price to $20k and it is going to skyrocket and they are missing out and what not and they get into it (of course many leave after a while realizing they are already too late to get in which they are not but they are usually inpatient) and then there are people who get in once upon a time but left after the market is not that bull for their taste. Those people get back in when they hear once again bitcoin is going up or they get in because they are bored and want to care about something again.

All of this comes down to the fact that the higher bitcoin price goes the more people are interested in it.

In my opinion, we should promote them through media channels, such as facebook, twitter, or run bonus campaigns to attract more people to them, so I think we should focus on engaging potential customers.

To be candid, there are things that are capable of pulling individuals attention toward a particular project for investment. To me the deportment of the whitepaper content and equally the RoadMap of the project, then considering the team behind the project before my move for investment. These are the major points that work for me in cryptocurrency before i become a project follower.

The first one wants to know how the team works in the success of the project. Second, want to make a profit. These two things made me decide to take part in a project. Who knows, in the future I will manage project.

When I decided to follow a project, I did a white paper study to find out the purpose, route and team ... I also looked at the ratings page and community feedback on the project. The team regularly updates new information on the pace of development of the project ...

a whitepaper or my personal research. and what use it may bring. i am really cautious person. i check as a maniac before undertaking any kind of activity connected with money

If we take into account the development trend in 2016 and 2017, then users of cryptocurrency earned fairly good income compared with the current time.

If it does have a good usage for us then the people will decide to invest on the new projects so for that advertising is more important if no one knows about your project they can't invest right and also you need to have better whitepaper well experineced project team and good website deisgn.

Irrespective of the project ideas , whitepaper or project they offer to the public
They gain followers easily by doing a basic airdrop program campaign, which very effective will ensure that all participants follow their social media handles and even more

That way there is an awareness and project is underway

Bounty program completes the sequence

Mostly it is what they are offering that get the investors interested in the coins, if you look at most of the coins then you will see that they did not start to take off until people decided that what they were offering were worth buying into which is what we are seeing now. Also here the marketing strategy of the team comes into play in how effectively they can engage people

To get the money. That's what got me interested in joining the project. I was first invited to join the cryptocurrency by friends, that cryptocurrency can give you more things other than money.

If the project has a really original and good idea, if this project has a good team of developers, then I think that you can invest in this coin or token, but I would not invest at the time of the ICO, but rather buy on the exchange.

It seems to me that all users of cryptocurrency primarily think about money when they join a project or when they want to engage in a cryptocurrency business in general.

Trying to find original ideas with real use case. Looking at the Whitepaper and the team (advisers), following them on social media. Trying to collect as many information as possible to be able to make good investment decision.

The actual hoopla introduced through final year's gold times associated with cryptocurrency had been the main one responsible with regard to attaining associated with fans. Brand new fans believed which cryptocurrency may be the quickest method to obtain achieve. However, actuality inspections. Nearly 10 several weeks associated with weakling several weeks may be therefore unsatisfactory with regard to newbies.

I was looking for the way to invest projects that are settled in other countries. Crypto seemed to be the best option for me in these terms, so I did not think for long.

I try to thoroughly study the project and look at its functions, I think now there are a lot of interesting projects, so we must also carefully study the project team. If I get all the answers to my questions and I understand that the project can improve something with the appearance on the market, then I follow it.

Definitely crypto gives a lot of opportunities to earn money, this is a wonderful development of a human in this modernized generation as money has been a concern for everyone in the world. crypto could be the life changer for the users for sure, but patience is a mandatory key here.

Future is in cryptocurrency. Even if my tokens will not be very valuable during my life, I hope that my childred will be able to make profits on them.

I work abroad and I need to send money to my family. Now banks want to pay huge fees and crypto platforms are much better, when you need international transaction.

I guess the hype is very important, it is harder to gain followers from 50 to 51 but it is quite easy to gain that from 15000 to 15001. Hence the bigger the hype the bigger the follower count gets. It is quite easier to gain 10% when you already have 100 thousand followers but quite difficult when you have 10 people interested.

After you pass the initial troubles of getting bigger you gain a lot of followers. For that reason a lot of ICO spend money from their pockets to give ads on facebook, instagram and mainly google (and some even spend money on bitcoin ad networks). If you can put your name and your coin in front of millions of people by spending thousands of dollars, you can actually make that money back from the ICO funding. Of course, it is important to note that when you spend that much money, there is always a risk of losing it in the end without any interest to it.

I usually pay attention to some altcoins with future markets. Instead of the mainstream altcoin. I think that many mainstream altcoins may have lost their future. They are too similar and not unique. I prefer the unique altcoin.

Mostly from the concept of a project itself, also the usability of the project later when it ready to be used in the market.
If those things are met, then many people or investors will surely came.

There are a lot of options available such as airdrops, bounty campaigns.etc. I myself was a part of the Deep Onion airdrop and I received around $10,000 worth of coins in a period of around 4 months. But after the airdrops were completed, the prices crashed by more than 95%.

in the project should be a lot of things into consideration. follow the project should be seen from the concept and products are produced. It will be the consideration of the appeal and also why following a project. not to mention if it is supported by a team that has a good background, of course, this would be a reason to support the project becomes more confident.

We have had several reasons like the whitepaper, product but now team, sponsors or supports are more important since the series of scam projects experience. We also understand that the strength and influence of a team can push project early to exchange and also help to pump the price, and we know profit is most important in every investment.

Project must be usable in real life, everytime i join any bounty try find more info i can, as if it hasnt real usage its just whitepaper and just tokens maybe afther ico end it would have any price but not 6 moth.

Through advertising on social networks, YouTube and many other sources, and there are other types, like the recommendations of other people who are already engaged and invests money in the cryptocurrency market, so there are many methods, it would be a desire, and the world to declare something as easy as to see the sunrise

Projects that can be applied in the next 2-3 years are worth investing. Projects that look good may take more than five years to grow. So I am more concerned about coins that will make me profitable in 1-3 years.

to get money is everyone's reason.
and also joining a project is very fun for me, it doesn't need to go out much capital but if we are lucky we will get satisfying results
only need mind, quota, patience we will get more rewards.

Different things, most of the events that affect my decisions are quite random in fact. Good team can convince me. Some serious ideas, well prepared whitepaper and nice site as well. If I see that the project collected much funds, this also makes me interested in it.

I think the most important reason comes from the real information listed in the project, such as teams and partners! And whether its products are innovative!

Hype is what makes crypto go round in these times of the bear market. Like you said, harder to get from 50 to 51, especially now that everything is in negative elements. But oh when the bull is around and everything is at x100 or more, 10k can easily become 20k.


But focus on just natural growth. I think it is better to have 50 people truly excited discussing about the coin than 100k Telegram channels of quietness, spam and "everything red" "when listing" nonsense.

usually cryptocurrency will have an increase in followers when there is a good project and when the price of the cryptocurrency has a high trading volume and has a very favorable price movement.

I always try to assess the potential of the project. Will it be useful to society. The second point is the potential of the team that is working on the product. I am suspicious of new projects. I prefer to invest in old and time-tested projects.

advertising i think and if you for example use it na dlike it you can tell about it your frinds and they to their friends and so on amd so forth

In my opinion, I support this industry because I earned fiat by the help of cryptocurrency. My life become sustainable and happy because of the income I got using bounty tokens. I support this because I know it will become successful soon! Cryptocurrency will grow someday and we will be luckily to got some tokens in a cheap price.

there are a lot of internet newspapers amd magazins whixh write about new things in the cryptocurrency world and we all can read it

if I personally look more at the team and the sales that they have obtained and the cooperation with the exchange, because if it does not already exist then I am hesitant to participate in the project

it's not a guarantee for a good project. but at least what you do has become a standard that many people should do because it is very important for the project to cooperate with exchanges, it will foster the interest of many people to participate.

ICO has reached the Softcap target
trusted website
the bounty manager has a good history
in my opinion it is sufficient to fulfill the requirements

everyone has their own way to select the project i.e whitepaper, social media campaigns, project team, project worthiness and some other factors. i believe that social media is the major factor to influence the investors. if you have very good followers in telegram channel and also at other social channels than it will be very helpful for the project to gain followers.

Of course the prospects! The idea of the project should be innovative in its field, to solve some problem/ help/improve, in short, to make life better. If I liked the idea then I look at the project team and analyze it comprehensively

and how do you know in advance with which exchanges the project enters into cooperation? because it usually happens after a bounty campaign and after the ICO

Detailed analysis helps to make the most appropriate image of the project, which reduces the risk to a minimum!

Quality projects are more likely to be favored, just like Bitcoin. Bitcoin prices are so expensive because they have a lot of followers. A lot of investors think Bitcoin is the strongest coin, so in fact Bitcoin It is the king of coins, which is related to the consensus.

There were several bounty programms that offered very good terms. I got very solid profits and now I just look for good investment opportunities.

When a new coin created and want to running a project, there will be several success factors.
if you want to participate on some project, you must take due diligence very intense.
Research about their company, their place, whether they are really exist or not. That is the first thing to know to avoid scam project.

I would say popularity generates more people who are jnterested on a particular project. Ofcourse, if something is popular it will caught the majority's attention and that is basically the role of bounty campaigns which is to boost the project's popularity. The demand will be the reason why many people would be into a crypto from a newly released project in the market.

          Fear of finding an SCAM project leads me to pursue a project. There are many factors that can draw your attention to a project. The project team, the idea of the project, the correlation of the idea with the whitepaper, the way of promoting the project, but also other factors. I usually invest in projects that have real use or that will solve common problems.

Before investing or taking part in the bounty campaign of a new project, I will study it in detail. I am not interested in profit margins, I am interested in: do the developers plan to implement their project? If the project is implemented, I will be able to return my investments anyway, and maybe I will earn well.

First of all, the presence of a well-developed site, detailed white paper and all links to the project team. Then I study the idea, I should like it and be feasible, of course, the presence of a finished or developed product. Then I study investors, advisors, references in the media, partners and more. Thus, you can make an informed decision.

By participating in a project, I take a lot of things, besides getting tokens we can also study the project with various benefits. Studying white paper and the real team that is done will be more creative for us to develop with our language.

If the project that stands behind the crypto currency itself is good, and the team does everything correctly, then a sufficient community is recruited, but if the PR company also works very successfully, then a large community gathers.

Before i decide to partake in a project in the crypto space, the first point of attraction for me is their website. By so doing, i would gave surveyed through the site, by studying it's contents, the whitepaper, the roadmap, the team of the project and some other things and of cause, in locating their social media platforms, it would have been seen on their websites.

There are three for me main reasons for you to decide which one is not scam and it is ; looking for its development throught roadmap and whitepaper and also to look out for investors and CEO's , community managers. Also to look how many social medias they have and there you will see if it has potential to go throught its development.

They spread information about some generosity programs that have not been previously announced and people are beginning to be interested in the project.

If he has an interesting idea or solves any problem. Also, I always pay attention to the members of the project team, their activity and work. It is also good when the project already has a working product.

They are doing bounty programmes, airdrops, promotions, trading competitions and so on. The greatest promotion for a crypto that is listed on exchange is the trading competition. It helps to reach a bigger trading volume.

It is about expectation. Expectation of profit. No one supports nothing without any profit. Good projects easily gain supporters. There are a lot sample this. For example NPXS. Everyone is expecting profit from Pundix token. And so many people is supporting.

The project should be useful in real life. This is the number one rule when I invest in a new project. Need to find more information that had the focus of the project for real use. Only interest in the product of the project will contribute to an increase in the price of the coin and the total earnings.

I will say basically if I see a project and I like what they are building, their mission and vision then I will check out their team to be sure they can handle the said project, if they can then I will follow them.

The idea behind a coin has to be attractive for me to start making research on it. Have my own set of criteria which  I research before making investment decision.

It's all about the promotion and remember there was a lot of millionaires caused by crypto right now. And they are interesting to join in the crypto caused by they can earn money through doin trade acivity.
It's even better than stock market.

Good advertising materials and graphics, good team, good website, good whitepaper and many members of the telegram group. I think that what makes me follow a project and see how good it can be in the cryptocurrency market.

I usually follow it if the program has a very well built whitepaper and if it has future plans for the program in order for it to grow substantially. I always look ahead of time and take it 5 steps in advance if I really want the project to grow. Developer background is another story to tell.

When a project has the potential for people who invest in it and have a track record of a good and reliable team, of course it will attract many interested people to follow it.

one of the conditions for me to participate in the project is that people who are in the team already have experience managing crypto projects and success with previous projects, and the concepts they offer are mature to be in the crypto world.

I base it on how good the whitepaper is. To answer the subject, cryptocurrency usually gain followers by means of bounties (or at least majority of their followers). It will grow from there. The post from bounty hunters are promoting the ICO and increasing the number of followers until it reached those investors who will be interested on the project as well.

That would be the concept of the project and also the usage of the project itself. From that at least we could see a little of the future of the project.
When it has a good concept and usage, hopefully it will be so much useful in the future

Desperation. No but honestly, if I like the name and logo, I'll look into the project. They say don't judge a book by its cover but it's a dumb saying because a nice cover and an interesting blurb will make people want to read the book.

Certainly to find out if a project that I am following has benefits for the future, of course this is an important thing not to get a scam project so that there is no function of the project, because at this time many projects have sprung up but not all are good

Yeah, they do a lot of promotions, hire bounty hunters to spread their projects on various forums, social media, blogs and so on,
I think this method works very well to attract people from outside/external

decided to follow the project there will be a lot of consideration. see the direction and purpose of the concept is important because to know the potential. find out the background of the team running the project are also important in order to see if the project was handled by the right person or not.

developers team make several ways marketing program to attract followers and investors.maybe bounty campaign and paid ads in high traffic media could be best way to get followers faster.

As long as the project future is good, then I'll be following it.
But to know that, i will need to do many research and thoroughly check the project itself before deciding to join it and that could be a long process to do.

White paper (sort of!) , that 'new' thing it brings into the crypto space and will it make me money?

Yeah if you see youtube or internet sites sometimes you must see advertisements about an ICO, it turns out they also put ads on
google adsense, that's part of a good promotion, because the google adsense algorithm will display ads on potential good users

The information about him and his team helps me make a decision on a project!

There are many ways a crypto project can gain followers, some gain followers naturally because of the potential seen in such project. Some kind of projects are just great projects with potentials even without marketing people can see it while some others need some marketing to gain followers and made known to the public through social medias and marketing, that's where bounties and airdrops come to play. While doing bounties and airdrops, you are advertising the project on social media so others can see and check it out.

I fully agree with your opinion, but today there is enough negative information in the network regarding cryptocurrency and the dangers that it carries to the cryptocurrency market. I believe that this is not the best effect on the popularization of cryptocurrency in society and may negatively affect the further development of the cryptocurrency market.

This is influenced by many factors. Team, Marketing, evaluation of professionals, how many have already collected the project to implement the idea. And of course personal study of white paper.

Basically I will check the team behind and the product that they will introduce to the community. A strong team can attract many followers that will create a strong community. This is a reason why a big projects has a solid team and advisors that has already experience in dealing cryptocurrency.

If I see that the project looks good and interesting and commonly might be good to use in the future, it is worth investing even a single penny. I only invest on cryptocurrency in which can be of good use. And other cryptocurrency that can be good for staking and give monthly dividends.

Maybe not just a good thing just is desired. only when viewed from the side of the just profit and then become a thing that would be easy to get caught up a scam. the concept of the purpose of the project da will be decisive in this case to watch out for. so while having a concept for a good cause then the profit will come and could follow.
