Bitcoin Forum

Participation in ICO or investment at pre-ICO stage is a very risky step. Its just like purchasing a shop on 40th floor and the ground floor of that shopping mall is just start to build.
There are so many ideas/concepts is trying to prevail in the market but is there any formula to separate strong project from scams/weak projects.

Which scale should an investor use to go before investing in a coin? Is it the code, or the system it based, or their community strength, or is it depends on their venture capital that how much big it is?

There are many things that need to be consider if will start investing in a coin. First is look how good the coin is and if how strong their platform and structure. Second, check if the coin have great potential in the future and lastly check the coin in there are a lot of investors who will invest in that coin.

Being a beginner, don't try to guess which coin will be the "next Bitcoin". Newer projects mean higher risk. Spread your funds out to a few well known projects, don't invest more than you can afford to lose, and set yourself a fairly long time frame. Always be aware, that most people trying to day trade lose money. However, empirically, most people who invested in Bitcoin for a longer period (>2 years) made profits. As you gain some experience over time, follow the development and read up on the important topics, you might increase your risk and start investing in newer projects. Most importantly: never go "all-in" on one idea!

I think you should not invest in ICO projects. there are only garbage and bad projects. Devs often use investors' money to use for online gambling purposes and they often fail to keep up with the roadmap they have set.
I think you should only invest in development token projects without investors' funds. It has available investment funds to develop, and that is the investment trend of many experienced investors.

The general advice is to do research, but all ICOs usually present promising projects which looks great on the surface. And if you base your research in the whitepaper and roadmap you are going to be viewing the same promise and prospects.

Many investors do not know how to dig below the surface for thinking unprinted. It's best to seek professional advice when considering a project or ICO.

not it has absolutely no similarities to that which makes it the worst example you could have made. why? simply because when they are building a shopping mall you know there will be a building there with actual usage, you see the yare putting a lot of money and man power into building it and it won't be abandoned when it is done building.

do we have that in ICOs? absolutely not. in comparison they are only spending a small amount of time copying some code from other previous projects and changing the name and getting paid for it. there is no product, there is no usage, there is only money that chances hand from gullible people to scammers.

those with good ideas never start an ICO. they put the effort in, spend a lot of time and money and build a solid project. look at bitcoin for the best example in the field.

the investor should first decide whether he wants short term profit from trading or actual investment in solid projects. if it is the first one then any  shitcoin is a good option because of their pump and dumps otherwise the job is extremely hard and time consuming because you will have a sea of altcoins with no end and a lot of advertisement that will hide the truth

Definitely the potential of ICO's blockchain, the solutions it can provide and why these are unique/way superior to those of competitors. Then, check carefully a roadmap. Does it look like it is real, genuine one or copy-paste one? Next thing which is important is who backs up this ICO. This requires a lot of research as well.

Its more risky than buying a shop at 40th floor while the basement was just began.There is no assurance that their coin will get listed on exchange if not then your token will be useless and you wasted money on the wrong project so the importance of reseaching about team is more important.

it is really hard for us to speculate what will be the good basis for the coin to invest in, it is somehow has a huge part that the purpose of the coin and the aggressiveness of the team behind the project to dictate the success of the project.

I generally go for team and community around it,if a respective team has experienced and dedicated members then you have some trust on them.then I look for their vision with project and roadmap.it doesn't matter to me if I miss ico or not but project should be checked properly and then invested.

Before considering ICO for your investment, I like to suggest you to go for considering this community's opinion about their ICO experiences.

Most people are suggesting to stay away from any kind of ICOs before some initiative from this community to be implemented so that there will be less number of scam in the names of ICOs. There are some steps will be available to evaluate an ICO, but you need to remember the scammers are becoming wise every day so that they will easily convince you to go with them for the reason of just a running away with your money.

I recommend you to go investing with bitcoin; it is simple and safer and definitely profitable in long-term. Learn methods to secure your capital before looking for multiplying it.

People here calling ICOs worthless are completely wrong.  Ethereum started as an ICO and if you invested at the start you would have gotten over a 1000x return on your initial investment.  There are still good projects out there but you have to be willing to do the research yourself and not blindly follow opinions of others.

Community is very important otherwise there won't be much trading volume or demand. The community will not only purchase the coin but will help to promote it as unofficial ambassadors thereby attracting investors

Consider everything if you want to be more sure. Investing on ICO is risky, so its better to know the whole project than to know limited information. ICO’s are not profitable to invest right now we can lose big money if we ended up in a scam project. Take extra effort or better to wait for the ICO to recover from its big dump before you invest again.

Firstly you should read their whitepaper carefully and search the team thoroughly. After you are convinced that everything is logical and real, look at what people think about the project on the Internet. If there is a mistake anyway, it will smell. After more research, time will come which when you investigate any project, you will have an idea about it.

I think people know that except to the new people in crypto and to the people that want a easy money. In investment we all know that we need to be consider everything because our money is involved here. Its important to study and research the good project,ICO or coin that give us a good profit.

Standard things, doing research on all levels. Even then there are no solid guarantee that project is going to be worth of the investment. That's just the way it is on this field. Maybe list of associates and co-partners of the ICO can mean something in making choice. The support of big name, Microsoft for example, would make me believe and be more comfortable for making decisions to invest on it.

Its a primary concern how credible a project and the team working behind it. Thats all that matter, if the team.is well experienced and really into the development of the project. I'm now checking out Hodler project, they have a good wallet project and active team working for development.

From my experience it would have to be communication with the community. If the team is quick to talk to the community about problems (which ofc every coin will come into due to FUD etc) then they'll weather the storm.

But it can also be a failed or scammed project later on just like what happened to those ICO before. For me, you have to consider everything but remember it is still not guaranteed and you still need to be more careful and always be ready for the risk. Investing on ICO always have a big risk, but it can also be a rewarding if you able to invest of a good project.

I see more and more ico failing after the bitcoin price falls free. ico is a lot of scams that reduce investor confidence, because they are traumatized by lost funds. therefore keep cautious for ico's investment at this time

dont join in ico stages, its too risky now.personally i am prefer to quit from cryptocurrency for a while , wait and see till positive news come to market again.especially BAKKT certainity launched schedule.

Risk vs reward
If there is a Actual use case
Price vs volume

I think what we should consider before join in ICOs is the product. If ICOs having a good product and back up by real company, i think its good to join in their ICO because its already have customer.

Doing the proper research is more important than doing a lot of research.

1.Making contacts with the team members is also very important. If its a fake team then most of the team will be fake and wont be responsive to contact.
2.Again advisors can be contacted for involvement in a project but then again most advisors tend to not reply to any personal messages at all.
3.Another important aspect is the whitepaper. Plagiarized whitepaper is an immediate red flag and 99% chance of being a scam ICO.
4.Doing your person audit of the ICo funds can be useful but most of the financial info will be locked away from public.
5.Evaluation of the domain name. A newly registered domain raising suspicions.

These are few of things I do before investing anywhere. But honestly speaking I prefer bitcoin over any altcoin. ;D

I would consider the transparency factor before even shortlisting the options for investing. If the team is good enough with adequate track record then I would give high priority to such project even if it doesn't have any fancy promise for the investors. On the other hand, the road map is also a crucial factor to determine investment strategy. Crypto is all about self-responsibility and hence doing own research is a necessity before taking any investment decision. For me, the people running the project is the litmus test to shortlist such projects, everything else is secondary.

In the decentralized market, what can happen and that indicates the level of risk in the investment is quite high.
In the field of investment in ICO projects, I think we should focus on analyzing their team and roadmap. if they were doing the same thing they had planned, they would have won 50% of the win.
One thing to note is that we should not analyze too much about the idea, because most ICO projects have quite similar ideas and their products are not as good as they say.

I think there are many things that must be learned first if you want to invest in coins, because investing is giving our money to other people for free, so we need a lot of research when we want to invest in coins.

The real things that I considered to invest in a certain coin is when I know that it hasn't pumped yet and would also see if that coin has a potential to pump in the future.

For me probably the solution it will give to a certain matter, well it still depends since some of the tokens are for security purposes but I may say that in investing in a coin you should be considering the purpose of the project itself and if that project will be in a long run or will be in the business for a long time you should also study how many users are going to use that project.

But beware! even the legit projects ended up as a failure so i must say that in investing in an ICO is very risky you should study not just the project but the team as well.

There are many things need to considerate before investing. You need to avoid falling in scam trap and make sure it is a good project. Carefully read their white paper, following their team news and also see how people comments about them. Research their website and find more information about team members, check everything to find out if it is a real project or not.

If you are choosing a coin that you want to invest you will definitely need to be done something the most important thing was don't give up at any stage and don't panic while the market is falling if you are do something like this if you are doing some kind of these things it will be more useful for getting more income from your investment.

The game of investing in new coins is a bit risky and for one to make it you have to be smart and lucky this is because if you don't choose the right ICO to invest in your found may never yield any profits and may even be taken away from you by scammer all in the name of ICO.

Absolutely true. For me, it's like magic to foresee 1 project out of maybe 100 others will go to the moon. How could that possible? I heard guys who noticed Tron or others (https://cryptodetail.com/category/altcoins) in the right moment. But how? Do you have recipe or formula for this?

You must check before deciding to invest so that you are not wrong in choosing, and keep in mind that ico is more risky than coins that have been registered on the exchange.

You have to consider a lot of things, but mainly:
-Team's composition
-Whitepaper
-Real cases uses (THIS is REALLY IMPORTANT)
-Distribution
-Expected price

People aren't going to share their secret sauce to getting rich.   They simply do the research required which means a lot of hard work going through different companies/projects.  Those that invest during the stealth phase come out on top, they are the ones dumping while the newbies are buying near the top.

that is true because before we make an investment that must be considered first, the risks and benefits that we will get, because in the world of crypto investment is very big the risk is like fraud and losing our money

If I were you instead of investing your capital in the ico project, better for you to use it to buy in the exchange platform.
Then, the things you need to consider is check the volume it has, then look at the quantity of the traders who are buyers and sellers.
And its an advantage if the coins you are investing it is already at the coinmarketcap.

The important thing that needs to be taken into consideration before making an investment into a coin is the circulation volume, trading volume, and the listed exchanges. Because without proper research when we invest, we might experience a growth in the value of our investment. But, on necessity we cannot trade it which makes the investment worthless. So, always prefer investing on coin with good trading volumes.

So basically you are considering those coins that will be put on ICO? To answer the question directly, it will depend on how far your analyzation about the said project will goes.Almost all projects have a good roadmap and future plans but the question here is, are those plans will be really implemented and follow in the future? At most of the cases, if ICO didn't reached their expected target of funding, the development will soon stop. And sometimes, even some of the projects reached their target and able to build a good community, still their plans takes times to execute and the worst, developments will just stopped without a trace. That's how risky participating in an ICO.

So what to do now? My suggestion is to disregard investing on those coins via ICO but to consider putting time to learn how to choose a good altcoins that already in the market and can ride the current market behaviour. Will not mentioned any of those altcoins since we might have different handling them.

That will be your homework for now. Well then at the end of the day, you are the only one who can think of a way how to deal with your concern.

If you're investing in a coin at ICO stage, then you really need to consider a whole lot of things and also have it at the back of your mind that its like a gamble. First, the utility of the token and if it really has a real world application and usage, secondly, the team, if any thing seems fishy about them, then that's a big red flag.

I think if I want to invest in the ICO, I will do after the ICO finish because right now, we know that when the ICO was finishing, the price will drop too deep and that is our chance to buy as much as we want. And if the token price can increase, then I am sure we can make a lot of profit, but it doesn't mean that every ICO can do this because it only works for some ICO.

Right now, it's too risky to invest in the ICO if the ICO has not finished because like I said before when it's finished, the price will get dump because every participant will sell their token and that will trigger the price to down too deep.

in my opinion the most important thing before making an investment is seeing product. because if ICO without having a product it is very worrying and besides the product you also have to see team and whitepaper

product didnt be guarantee that these ico will success in market.usually investors trying to find projects that their product could give them earning profit weekly or  monthly and also could be implemented in real life.without both of them these token or coins become useless.to many project that have same concept.

Before investing at ICO look detail how their website secure, safe or not. Many ICO website looking not secure and make investor always afraid for investing at their ICO, you have double check how trust owner and team at their ICO.

web security didnt main factor for ico analizing.there are many factor that more important, such as what its the purpose ico builded, and how they will build it.any many other factors.

if I myself have to consider the risks and benefits, because the risk is very important for us to know. so it's very important to consider if you want to invest

there are many things that must be considered to put your money on ICO investments that are very risky, one of the risks is project scam, so you have to look at the developer's track record and who is involved in the project, I suggest to consider a project that collaborates or have partners with famous people and have good popularity among investors.

right, by knowing the risks, we will be better prepared to face something we don't want. because many traders only imagine the benefits they will get, and that results in their psychology being disrupted

I always consider the potential of a specific cryptocurrency for me to know if it worth it to buy or not. I do not just invest my money because I know that there is high possibility that I can lose it. I studying the background and the history of the coin before I buy it.

It is important that we'll have enough knowledge about the coin that we are investing with. We should do series of research to get rid of regrets in the future. We should invest in coins with good potential because we'll get a greater chance of having a better profit through it.

And when researching about a coin,i think the most salient aspect that should be put into extreme consideration is the management team,the backbone behind the project,you have to be sure it's a legitimate one with an immaculate track record.
Reviews are also important to note if they've had and undergone favorable dealings in the past
Before putting a cent in an ICO project a whole lot of homework must be done because they most often manifest as scams
Investing in the bitcoin is by far a safer and saner option

For me, we should consider the team behind the project before making investment. The coin should have solid team for us to ensure that we can gain income from our investment. There are many scammers in the market,  so it is better if we will review the team behind the coin.

investing in ICO will be more risky than buying coins in an exchange. because you still have a risk of scam from that project.
You have to do research on all existing instruments such as roadmap, whitepaper, specifications, team and so on

I agree.Before knowing the coin itself,we should consider first the team that is supporting the coin.We should always have a lot of resources so we can end up a satisfying result on our studies.If the team has a great history,then surely the coin itself has great potentials too not just at the present but even in the years to come.

The number one thing to consider is how big the coin is.

I know some people prefer to invest into stuff that is small so they can make bigger profit when it gets high but when you invest into something looking at the price you are bound to be sad.

I have seen people investing into reddcoin or doge or stuff like that because the price is "low" in satoshi and easier to go higher however they forgot to check the marketcap and the marketcap usually shows why the price is low since the number of coins is insanely high.

There are people investing into stuff like swisscoin because its "just one satoshi, with 2 satoshi I can make double my investment" whereas coin just gets destroyed and you can lose that 1 satoshi as well. I mean what you should do instead is to divide your investments into multiple coins like bitcoin-ethereum-ripple-dash and so forth to make sure you won't lose all of your investment.

I think everything is like a gamble since you are going to risk something for the outcome but sometimes the outcome doesn't come as you have expected. Well, if the project, the team, or the developer are really honest to their self then they could just make a good project which is supported by millions of fans and investors but the way i see it today is totally different than in previous years.

Today is like they're killing the ICO era and changing it to a new scamming era which is so rampant that even if you do red tag them, it won't stop them as long as they get the profit. They were making the investors go extinct for the future other projects which makes me sad.

Of course all people do think like this that they invest in a coin which is high in potential and people are certain about the future. Best choose is to purchase a coin in right time as I’m time of dip or fallen price so that later on it will be very high and holding will end up making huge profit for you.

And how do you do that? Because, you can't just random pick the coins because they are big projects which is definitely not only the factor to pick which coins should you invest.
It's easier to said than done.

I think if we want to join in ICOs, what we should consider is developers team and the product. If they already have working product and used by many people, i think we will make profits from our investment. Beside that, developers team holding the key for successfull project

everything must be considered, but all that is also not a guarantee that ico will succeed. many things will happen during the ico period, and the time ico runs in the middle of the period is the key whether or not ico will succeed. because in that period, the team began to calculate the amount of funds obtained in accordance with the target of soft cap or not.

of course the consideration is the risk that will be obtained in investing your confidence and patience in starting an investment with crypto currency and that is the most important capital in investing with crypto currencies

It’s your duty to search about the team of the coin you are investing because in crypto you will gave allot of scammers who daily work and plan to scam.  To consider a coin find the promising one and buy cheap with promising future so you will be happy with your investment on right time and perfect coin for me as an investment bitcoin is only perfect coin.

The potential of the coin is what we should consider before we make investment. We should allocate many hours for us to research and study if the coin is really worth it in making investment. There are many coins that are not good in investment so we should really careful in picking a coin.

ICOs are really risky investment. It is really hard to find a good ICOs because most of them are scam. The number that we should look before participating is their team behind the project, the advisors and the team behind the project should have good educational background and also a lot of experiences.

Investing in ICO is a very difficult thing, it is difficult what I say is our process so that what we invest can be a profit in the future. Teams, communities and even community feedback also have an influence on the future of ICO coins.

Critical criteria for me is the team involve in the project and the vision they are out to implement, I check out on there past track record, relative to what they want to deliver, several scamm ICO's has been in the cryptocurrency space recently, also I checkout there partners and how realistic is the amount they want to raise.

Yes ICO is too risky but taking the risk means you want to have a bigger profit through that risk. Eventhough ICOs are risky but risk is minimized if you just out money in which you are able to swallow the losses. I mean, invest only the amount you can afford to lose.

Investing in ICOs is not that hard, the hard thing about investing on them is the fact that you need to be really careful since there are a lot of scammers. These scammers are taking advantage of the people that are desperate to earn money. So if you consider investing on cryptos or ICOs, always remember to ask someone about it especially the ones that can tell whether it is a scam or not.

Well this is not possible to search the entire working because the world of crypto is so wide and they are working with countries to countries so we should just try to consider the value of the coin we are investing in. Choose the promising coin not the one which has no proper information about it on internet so just be a little careful.

in my opinion all look the same, even those who commit fraud make their website look very attractive.
so many are deceived and lose their money.
and sometimes those who promote their projects are ordinary, can survive and survive for a long time.
we take the example of ico HOLO, they have their own marketing and don't use the bitcointalk forum as a promo for their ico.

There are so many factors to consider and it includes authentication, growth and the people behind those coins. Authentication because you should make sure that the coins you invested in is authentic or something that is unique and made to solve long term problems and just for the sake of making money. Growth because you want to check if these coins can grow over time to ensure survivability in the market specially these bearish conditions. People, you should background check the person behind the project to make sure that they will not leave the project behind if something not good happened.

Its true that investing in some ICOs very risky considering many scam ICOs happen in several months ago. I think its much better for me to invest in coin or tokent that already listed in market. Good altcoin with working product is my choice and i will keep it for long term

I think we need to considered the possible result of our investment, because crypto coin investment is really a risky type of investment and anytime, the price of the crypto coin will rise or maybe fall and it has really no assurance for us to gain specially when we don't have a great patience or enough experience of the crypto feild.

in this case, of course there are many considerations that need to be considered, starting from the conditions of the team, or the developer, market conditions, and the potential for profit. if you use the token because you really need it, I think it doesn't need to be a lot of consideration, but if it's in terms of profit, I suggest looking for very much information before investing.

It is very hard to really separate between the bad projects and the good one because most of the projects are base on idea and about 90% of them did not have mind of development.  Having lose money in icos market to scams projects I have decided to invest on listed project only.

I think its target market is the first thing you need to give a look What are its competitors and whats it bringing new to the whole ground Save your self some time to look up the team and maybe previous work and also how well is their marketing Great idea should have good marketing and a very good and concise roadmap

right, the potential for a coin in the future is an important consideration before choosing a coin to invest. but it is indeed better for us to invest in a few coins and don't invest for just one coin.

I believe this is an important question that every investor should ask before investing into any ICO or cryptocurrency. Well i always look at the concept behind the project being developed and how useful it is going to be to the crypto community. Lastly i also consider the team behind the project to ensure that i am not investing into any scam project.

If you want to invest in coins, it's a good idea to do research about companies such as reading the whitepaper, looking at the road map, people working in it and having knowledge of crypto coins.

1. What monkey is best suited to throw darts.
2. Type of darts.

 :D

Nowadays, its really hard to determine on which ICO is good to invest in. because I don't see any ico that they say negative about their project. Almost all of it are positive about it. For me my basis was I am reading carefully their Whitepaper, then checking the background of their team and the owner if they are really telling the truth not just a hype or saying any promising words. Then, I also check the allocation they have for the bounty campaign too and how strong they have in terms of their token usages too. 

You are definitely right. ICO projects learning which things should they have to be successful, like the minimum viable product (https://cryptodetail.com/most-valuable-indicators-potentially-profitable-ico) or something else. But the fact they will have them doesn't mean the project will be successful.

I think the best  thing to consider before investing a coin is to ask ourselves, Are we ready for something big either up or down. I really don't know the flow but that is what I did with my investments. It's hard to chose which project to get into but still we need to do our own due deligence to avoid loss. Community is also one of the most important factor that makes the token more valuable, popular and fully supported platform.

The two simple things will consider before investing in Bitcoin and that is how much we are going to hold and when we are going to get back so if you know this then you can do some good stuff for that investment and making a pre planned also very important.

I would suggest to consider the amount of energy that is necessary to maintain the whole system.

Thinking about the future will be more important for an investors to become an investor of a cryptocurrency because while he don't know how he can take over the current see then it will not be the worth of Bill for our future and investment will not die easy things to do if you had money you can do anything but it will not worth if you made any mistake.

There are many factors we need to considee before investing in a coin. We need to determine the project if it is good and if that coin will be patronize by the people. We need to know the platform and strategy of the project if it will grow and become successful  in the future. Also we need to know if there are huge demand on it ,if there are many investors investing on this coin and if it has a higher volume in the market. We need to be careful in investing so that we can earn profit and not losses.

An unstoppable research should be done before investing and you have to think of it for many times. Still considering investing to ICOs? they have been dry for a year now but if you're intact and still believes that and you want to pursue it.

Some factors that you should consider if that project really is sure of what they are doing. Is that token/coin that they are about to create will be use for something better? if that's just a decoy coin that's about to be dumped once it's listed on an exchange, you better stay away.

to choose the coin that is difficult to do. but we can see their roadmap, where of course there will be a breakthrough to improve their project. from there we can see whether the coin is worth investing

its complicated for us to analize projects.some projects seem look good from their whitepaper.but in fact after listing in market their investors selling coins.it represent investors dont trust anymore to dev team.

I disagree with you. This is a good example. You just probably don’t know the stories when the developer builds three buildings, puts two of them into operation, and one throws almost completely ready but don't put, and leaving people without shelter and without the money they have invested in this building. And least of all in this case human labor is valued. The same situation with ICO projects. Often, people trust the project, but in the end they end up without money. But it cannot be said that such projects are everything. If you approach the choice of ICO carefully and carefully, you can find a decent project with an honest team.

  Aside from the considerations one should make based on their personal financial situation, consideration of an investment in a coin usually goes through this process for me:

1. What's its utility?
2. Where is it at in its life cycle?
3. What's the team's experience?
4. Read the White Paper.
5. Wait a week and see if I'm still convinced.  

For me i should consider the popularity of the coin and the structure. How many years since it created. And the last one is the history of the value in our market.

I always consider the impact of the losses that I will experience when I start investing in Bitcoin, because investing in Bitcoin is very high risk, so you have to think about the risks first rather than thinking of profits, because the value of Bitcoin is very volatile.

First of, it's much easier to find a decent coin to invest in among the existing ones. Currently we are at such a deep level that you can expect 10 times rise from some coins this year alone. Look for the coins which were performing well during the 2-3 years prior 2018, but had sank deeply in 2018. Bitcoin, by the way, is an option.

But if you are going to invest in an ICO anyway, research about every core team member, read all the reviews of the project on independent sites, etc. If you are not experienced in this matter, don't try to decide by yourself whether a project worth investing. Read as many expert opinions as possible and then make your conclusions.

of course a very big risk in its investment in confidence and patience is the main capital in the investment and now we must be smart in seeing all the opportunities that we will get in investment

oh good for you but for me i dont usually look on the popularity or on the history of the coins because i only invest on the newer  ones and  most especially on ico's that i find promising because i think they can give much return compared to standard cryptos  .  i dont really care if its a pump and dump scheme but atleast i can earn something big for a quicker time  .

When it comes to ICO there is no big name to comfort our decision,we just have to do on our own by trusting the person on the project team,as you said the legitimacy will give some thought about investing but it may worth or not which can be only found when the project reaches real world.But coin like bitcoin or Ethereum will make the work easier lot and just invest on long term will make sense.

the history of price is one of a good thing to consider when investing to an existing coin if the price is continuously dropping after the listing then it is not a good coin to consider, if the price has a good positive percentage rate then consider it in your list of investment.

You need to check the coin history, how stable the coin is and from how long it is there in crypto market and see the prices of coins for past few years and read the upcoming growths and struggle for the coin all the few things you need to check. If you feel satisfied consult the known crypto expert and then go for investment. Don't blindly invest on coins or on ICO coins be cautious.

I think, what you should consider first in investing is that if you have enough spare moneh to do so. If not and you will be using your life money then that is suicide not because it is totally bad but the risk of you getting hurt by a loss is significant and cannot be returned back unless its only a spare money which could not hurt you that much.

I am investor and I always considering the team behind the ICO. We can easily identify if the ICO is scam by just looking to the background of team behind the ICO. The ICO should have good whitepaper that are easily to understand and all of the information about the project should be in the whitepaper. It is really risky to make investment in ICOs because not all of ICOs are profitable investments.

The most important thing when one invests in a coin is that he or she should have a good grasp of the underlying tech in the project. If the project is good enough, there will be less effort needed to market it since people will naturally be drawn to it. Also, if the coin does not solve any problem, there's no point buying it.

Exchange projects flooded the market and though there are some the collected a lot some don't but we still can see them getting funded even when all they offer is similar to other projects like distributing dividends or the native token is going to be the transaction fee. Most of these projects looks created by same developers and same advisors, nothing new. Although its a use case, its still not new concept. But there are some new projects offering new concept like the GoWithmi, I think that is something to consider before investing - a new concept.

New coins seem to be very weird with the way they promote themselves, even after ICO. There are bunch of coins that has technologically no improvement at all but they are trying to find a sector and focus on that instead of improving the system. For example Nano got destroyed and it worths not even 10% of what it used but it was trying to make the blockchain instant and quick instead of slow and expensive.

You would use nano and get less then 1 second transactions for FREE. People instead focus on stuff like "advertisement coin that you use to buy and sell ads" or whatever, thats not new, thats not anything special, thats both old in real life and old in crypto as well. There is absolutely no way of using that to your advantage and improving the world. Coins are really not worth the trouble they bring in anymore.

of course all aspects of the project must be considered. in addition, information about the development of the coin is also very important before making information. it makes us invest in something useful, and useful for us. in the crypto world, I think there are so many things that need to be considered before investing.

a lot must be considered in my opinion before starting an investment with crypto currency but the most important is the risk that will be obtained in investing with the crypto currency

I think ICO investment is far more risky because it has the possibility of a scam. but you're right the benefits may be far greater for ico investments. because token prices can be very cheap compared to prices when listed in exchange. so look for a trusted and potential project. by look at several aspect like their ANN, Team, and etc

You should be able to know the information from the coin you want to buy, make sure the coin you want to buy has a good development and of course it can have the potential to be very expensive, don't let you buy coins that have no movement or development at all.

do research before investment, maybe you can go to their website, read the whitepaper or etc. who you can make you sure, they project is good

invest in such projects is not a simple matter. And it is hardly worth investing everything in 1 project. Pick up several projects that are “worthy” of your opinion, break through the information on them and then draw conclusions about whether to invest in them.  8)

I prefer a project that already has a first step, I mean that before they invite us to participate in the ICO, they already have an initial development and there really are results, not just data.

Investment carries a certain level of risks and losses, so it takes bravery, preparation, and thorough research inorder to be guided, to be aware and be educated about its nature. Some of the key points to consider would be the team working behind it, the community surrounding the project, it's reputation, and its legal aspects. After all, it's about knowing the necessary steps and be committed to learn for more creative ideas.

Before investing the kind should be user friendly and more trustability for the future and the promotion things also be very important for the development of currency UK currency has the qualities you can definitely trust and invest on it.

If you go with this concept then there will be very few projects left for you to invest in. ;)

Not saying that every projects need you to put your money in it but majority of the good ICOs will have an MVP and then when they turn bad that same MVP will turn worthless in the competition with other projects from that sector. Several ICOs last year were promoted like crazy shit. The bear market did affect them and make them worthless but people are still holding on.

In my opinion, if you are investing in something that has a proper team and an MVP that you believe in, dont let other people sway you. Put your money in and then go to sleep. Dont get bothered with market movements because that is bound to happen. Results will come before you know it and then the prices will boom.

when you want to choose coins for investment, you should be able to see from many ways but maybe I will give good tips to be able to help you, make sure they have github and see their activities there, and make sure the CEO and team are available and can you find it directly, if you are still confused then you can invest when you have reached the softcap, but usually the bonus will be less.

- I think we should still invest after it is listed on exchange, it would be better, instead of trying to consider factors such as development team and community, social networking groups because these elements are outdated, at this point, although it still has some value for us to consider but we still should not be too confident in it when projects have had too many problems and face many different challenges. Even if it has reached a softcap, we should continue to wait until it is listed, it will be safer because I see a lot of projects have reached softcap but they still don't have the exact time to list, it is really a disadvantage and not good for investors

well, that might be the best, because when it comes to softcaps, it's likely that the project will be truly successful. but, the thing that really needs to be considered is the team, because sometimes a professional team is very supportive of the success of a project.

Yes, achieving the softcap does not guarantee that the token / project will be successful and will have good value later when registered in an exchange and all the methods discussed, whether it is seeing a real team etc. But when the developer does not continue to be consistent to build the project to become great, eventually we will lose too. So in my opinion there is no special formula that we can find to be sure of our investment in an ICO project, but with so much experience I think it will help us to choose the right ICO.

A Good and experience team , a working product , real social media accounts ,always update about the progress of the project. Nothing more nothing less.

Investing in a coin by participating in an ICO is highly comparrable to buying corporate bonds, where the coin to some extent represents the value of the firm. A well profound analysis could in this case focus on the true value of the company compared to a valuation of the company stock using discounted cash flows.

right, it is very useful if we will choose the ico project to invest, but currently it is very difficult to implement, because there are many frauds. but if we want to choose coins that have been listed, of course these things are taken into consideration too, and do not invest in just one coin, because it is very risky

You need to consider before you invest the coin is the time or day of bitcoin dropped know if when to dropped it, you must wisely about it if you want to overcome you future clearly

so that you can determine what coin is suitable for investment, you should be able to see how the coin is developing and how the volume of the coin is, make sure you have good price movements and developments.

First, you should look at the people behind the project aka the team. A project's success depends on the work of the team, a project with a hardworking team has the highest percentage of success.

When I invest in coin, I take in consideration ,the kind of project that can sustain and will be of great utilization to the community and the demand of this project from the community and will not be dying early because customers do mot it anymore, then the team that manage and promoted the project in launching, and the possible soft cap and hard cap of the project that it can be fullfilled and achived and the initial coin offerring of the project .

We shouldn't consider not only the soft cap but also we have a concern about the team and their development team. After successful ICO's many companies failed to develop what they promised during their ICO's. Development is the major concern for any company in order to decrease it's the value after they don't want develop a further level of their roadmap.

I think investors should consider first in investing their money to the currency they like to invest is their project manager, their teams and the bounty manager to make it more often in update. And I think it would make more sense than investing their money without any of that aspects that can really make sure their investments won't be wasted in the future.

It is really hard to find ICOs that can make you high returns. Most of the ICOs nowadays are easily losing their value after they listed in particular exchanges. It is better if you will just invest your money on cryptocurrencies that have potential in the market.

ICOs are now not preferrable in making investment. There are many issues about ICOs and most of the investors of ICOs are experiencing losses due to the worthless products of ICOs. There are only few ICOs that have potential in the market and it is true that it is hard to find one.

People want more money than others so they are ivesting at inital stage to grab the discount for their tokens but as you said there is no assurance for the people who invested very early going to have vaalue for their tokens other than hope so considering only the discount is not good for a smart investor.What we need to consider is about the legit project team behind it or not.

I am not sure if it still safe to make investment in ICOs. The ICO investment have now bad image to the cryptocurrency community and there are now only some people who supporting it. I avoiding the ICO nowadays because of the losses the I experienced before.

for now maybe ICO investment is less convincing because last year's experience of many ICO projects failed and I think what needs to be considered in investing in crypto is that we have to be smart and careful in choosing coins where to invest and my advice is to choose a sure coin of course like BTC and ETH because with us choosing a coin that is certain, it will certainly reduce the worst risk of investing in crypto.

maybe what you can do if you want to invest in coins, then you can see from trading volume every day and make sure the coin has a very limited supply and good development.

I thinkni need to considered that investing a new coin is really unpredictable and we can also lost a huge amount of profit in it. I believe that we need to know first about crypto and how we can earn a huge amount  of profit on it because it is really unstable , so we need to select a good coin for good, this is really important. Because if we invest in a coin that is not potential I believe that we need to wait foe a couple of year before we can earn.

First of all, you will always think if that coin is really worth it. Does it has the capacity of giving you profit in the future? Does it useful to everybody? Is it even legit? Does it take years existing? Theres a lot things to consider on choosing a coin. You should always think smart and take your time to choose or else you blame yourself after.

Before investing in a coin you need to make a due diligence process in order to discover the potentials of the project, something like necessities that the coin will cover, something that will make the coin a utility coin, also check the team authenticity and their real goals to avoid scammers or buying a dump and pump coin.

The list of things to verify is big, need to check if they have a big community of supporters, honest developers, solutions they are bringing, etc!

Indeed it is very important to have good profitable coin so to choose the best coin we should allow all those people and the sites which help us in this regard, find on google and use bitcoin forum as well, while choosing a coin I only look to the future if I feel satisfied i at once just buy and decide my limitation to hold that specific coin till it grow higher but choose the promising one only.

of course the most important thing to consider in starting an investment with crypto currency is that we have to understand all the risks we will get in investing

The thing I usually do before choosing a coin to invest is in what field the coin has a project and what the end result of the project is, I usually prefer coins whose projects are in the field of education, health and marketing that I most often seek are coins from an exchange because if we buy the coin logically the coin will continue to exist and continue to rise as long as the exchange operates, and it is certain that if we have coins from an exchange we will get a lot of profits.

right, what is clear is that the coin will always be used by people and will increase in number. that way we will be safe to invest in these coins in the long term. many health projects that succeed in their ico for example

projects that has technology as basis will get their success in market.especially if they developt their own blockchain that improve from existing blockchain.there will much investor will join on it.

Participation in ICO or investment at pre-ICO stage is a very risky step.

- this is true, that's why We as a trader are supposed to be a risk taker. Because if you are not willing to risk anything or not prepare of what will gonna be happen in the future, well I guess your not gonna make it to stay long here to survive as a crypto traders. In investing in ico, will depend on you actually, if you believe in the project in each ico arise here of course that is in your hand or decision. But you to consider some other things in every project, just check or read if the token is achievable or realistic to be happen and the community will gonna use it easily in the market, then always know the flow of the project thru WP or road map.

You should scrutinize project considering all possible aspects: its code, conception, comunity strength, advisors, investors, marketing strategy and developers punctuality. It may take a lot of time but also will give better confidence in project.

Well there are different approaches which you should consider when you are investing in a coin. You can either invest in ICO or in the coin in itself, although it is safer to invest in coin which are already in exchanges.

For ICO Coins
- You should watch the views of the project on youtube and on different social medias channels.
-You should see the team and follow their linkdin so that they are not fake profiles
-Check the ICO rating of differnet ICO Websites and also see thier partnerships etc
-See if the project is good and unique

For Exchange Coins
-Go for the coin which have good volume in CMC
-Never buy a coin in Fomo
-For relatively new coins listed on exchanges, see their project / team before investing
-Always buy yourself coins and do not trust on anyone unknown

All those things are really very important and it is must to consider all those things before we go to invest into crypto coin. As according to me it is good to keep your eyes on the team as well because the coin we are investing should have solid team and good number of organizers, it should be promising coin, don’t trust any fake site try to use only those promising coins like bitcoin and ETH.

Communication with the community is most important. How often do they put out blogs, how often do they answer questions etc.

The main thing that one need to consider before investing in a particular coin if profit on your investment. I far as I believe any other thing are all secondary to that of profit. Before I  invest my money in any business what usually take into consideration is whether my money will be secured and will return profit to me are at the end of the day.

Of course there's a many things to consider before you invest in crypto. It's important that we have many things to know about to the project what we want to invest. So we know if we succeed to this investment.

One can make his own research prior to investing.
Know that crypto investing is not that easy as people think due to the high risk involve.
Always put in mind that you do not put majority of your investment, just limit when you start as you are just new
and when you are new, you will most like commit mistakes.

investment is not a trivial thing and must be absolutely sure about it. when there is doubt, then don't make an investment. the team, and the concepts that have really influenced the success of a project at this time, because sometimes, so many good teams, but the concepts they do have many rivals. think about the best before investing, so that there is no regret going forward.

I think you need to focus on product and experience of the team. I believe investing in new coin will takes a lot of time to be fruitful. I do agree community strengtnh do matter cause it affect the volume of the coins, but still i believe the most important things is the developments of the product.

First and foremost one of the things that we have to consider in investing bitcoin  is.. if it is legit or not.. another thing is if they have strong and established company or support group to make their project successful.. and also the kind of project they have itself and the strategy they make to advertise it and have many believer of followers..

That's true. But for me, I usually look at how it performed at the different phases of its like starting from when it was introduced in the market until it went basically public. I also check on how the community is supporting the coins that transcended into movements and transactions that led to the coin's increases or decreases in value. Those things, I think, are some of the valuable tells that one can employ to say if such coin has a future or not. I mean, the market right now is so hard to read, one second a coin is good, only to see it fall in the next. So, you just have to really try to have an objective as to the things that might help for you to decide on which coin to consider investing.

I think we should consider the fact that we can also loss in investing in crypto coin due to its unstable status in the market place. If we are going to invest in crypto coin we should consider that everything may change without a prior notice and there is no need for us to worry if we have patience. Because I believe if we have a big patience we can really earn on investing.

I think we need to take several projects, first of all, to look at the idea itself, how realistic it is to implement it, whether people need it, how much this coin collects at the ICO, if the project is interesting and promising, money will flow into it quickly.

Things that must be considered before investing in crypto (coin) are:
1. Knowing the progress of crypto so that we can know how it works, functions, and risks from crypto investments,
2. Prepare capital that is truly ready when experiencing a substantial loss because crypto investment is very risky,
3. Analyze market movements with your own thoughts without having to be affected by analyzes or predictions of others because predictions made by others are not necessarily accurate,
4. Don't give up and keep working hard to find ways to make a small profit. Experience is a very valuable thing and from that experience, we can learn not to make mistakes in the next step.

You should see the project road map and initial coin value of that token. You also see the subject of that project and compare the sub value of present environment that may be key point. You can more check the screw system of that campaign. If you check those matter i think you may gainer by investing.

the first thing i think was the point of that coin , what building up for that coin and etc , 2nd is the originality of that idea and 3rd was the community behind that

If you want invest in alts not ico best is to invest in coin what exist long time already
Very important in a case of alts is community strong large supportive community is very important .Dogecoin is an example .People are saying that dogecoin is a joke but that joke joke exist from crypto beginning and  is performing very well
Other good example is redcoin
In case of ico i am not buying any new ico
I can have some of them on my observing list and maybe buy from market
It is always important on what exchanges those ico are traded

Before we investing in the project the priority we started is to let know that this project are still active and have some good concept.Actually we all always suffered to those ICO that in the end they are all gone and scam.

That's right you also need to consider if the coin is really profitable and worth it of your investment. There's a lot of alt coins right now which are affected by the market situation mostly of them are dead.

I got your point and it is really risky to join in ICOs during it early beginning when they haven't been listed yet in any exchange. Even coins that have succeeded during ICO stage fell into nothing and failed later. There is a lot to consider about joining ICOs but the most important thing to consider is the readiness that you have and your plans that could help you gain more. Failure to prepare any of these can result in more loses. Your preparation should involve questions about what you are going to do in case your investments failed and questions dealing with what you should know about the coin you are about to invest on. This is very important to really prepare for failures just in case. You don't want to gamble everthing that you might not want to to lose. And so you should know when to stop or what to do when things don't favor you. Always do make enough preparations.

They say that ICOs investment are now dead because most of the investors quit and left. It is really risky to make investment in ICOs and thats why we should consider many things before we make investment. We should first research the team of the ICO, in that way; we can easily determine that the project is scam or not.

Instead of investing into newly launched ICO projects, we can start investing into a working product project which has already successfully completed their ICO phase as it makes them reliable. There are a lot of projects who give us the opportunity to earn a stable income by investing into there so why don't give them a shot?
I would prefer going for such project rathar than investing into new launched Initial Coin Offerings.

what must be considered is the risk and a good place to invest, because these two factors are very important for us to know about investing, especially in the world of kripo, the risks are huge but the benefits to be gained are also large

before investing in a coin we should consider to check company roadmap and tie-ups and development communication all these factors are important for a coin growth

The main thing reason for us to buy the token is try to check its usages if it is really attainable and realistic.
Then, make sure the team are transparent and not the one team either. Look at the background of the ico token project if they have a big partnership with the biggest company to their token. Read the whitepaper they have so that you can see the flow of their project til the the end.

This is also a good indication once you find out the team has good relation to some projects which they can collaborate in the future,  the token shall be a good investment for you. Some of  the projects were not that good at PR but has close connection to the industry like the people in DENT project.

It all depend to what kind of investor are you though, so if you are a day trader, you might not like a coin which its price doesn't spikes to more than 5% everyday.

That’s right only invest in profit able coin and buy when it is at low price because if you will buy at high price it will make you wait for so long and also the profit will not be so high that’s why consider worth of coin and invest in most promising coin because it will give you profit as well as saving.

The first thing you should look into before investing in any coin during they ICO or pre ICO stage is to look into the potentiality of the project whether it has the ability to survive the market and being able to have a working projects that support the token. With this in place you can easily make it out of the entire cryptocurrency network.

Before investing in ISO, it would be nice to find out information about them. Or rather, who they are, where they are from, how well they know what they are doing. And if there is an opportunity, talk to other investors.

Theres no need to ask those question on thier telegram because every ico already list their corresponding details on their webpage . there are also sites that list all info's of ico's   . 

When i invest i only check if the coin is already listed and have a good price history  .  if i see that the coin fluctuate too much , i usually buy it .   i dont go for inactive ones or the one thats been rarely traded though i know that they also have a potential to pumped up .

A roadmap is not necessarily followed in every project. There are ups and downs on a road in real life and so on during the project's lifetime down the road. Hence the team needs to modify them at certain times to match the development with the amount of funding coming in. Dont think that legit projects stop funding after the ICO ends. They have contacts with hedge funds and venture capitalists who are willing to invest and get offered lumpsum share are discounts.

Talking to investors would be the last thing to do. They are the going to shill the project obviously and you will get biased opinion.

In addition, being active is not just enough but we should consider how the team replied to the needs or queries from the investors. Team participation will greatly be needing as we want transparency of our investment and in order not to fall into scam project which is commonly happen by now.

Investing into ICOs have become quite dangerous in the crypto space and it is all due to the high rise in the number of scam projects that are circulating. My little advise is to read extensively about the coin and also how the team is going to guarantee the liquidity of their token. These days most projects don't have any value backing their cryptocurrencies.

of course the trust of investors will encourage the development of the project. therefore all teams in the project must cooperatively develop the project with support from investors

Overall, the coin must be analyzed because we are putting money and the risk is big enough if we are arbitrary in choosing or without an analysis. we will get losses
if you are still not sure in CMC you can give several coins in the top position that you can choose

Before investing, take time to read and understand the project whitepaper. It is important to understand the concept and the purpose of the project. Also, you have to check the team, how they work. That is how to determine if the coin is worthy to invest on.

Well, I learned this days that studying the white paper and checking how the project team works does not make a project to bullish because the cons and the experienced of project team is very important cause crypto currency market have changed a lot and tangible experience with strategy is require in other for every project to survive.

Among the things to look out is the team experience in blockchain sector and their partnerships agreement.  Then check out the coin potential and use case, make research around the whitepaper.

especially with the project team who have experienced and succeeded in previous project projects, it will make many investors run to him. and that is what we need before investing our funds in it

For effective investment, I think we should pay attention to their community and partners. In addition, pay attention to the work experience of their team.
A good team will often make an altcoin more amazing and gain the trust of many investors.
In addition, if they have many good partners, they will have a lot of advantages as listed on major exchanges, supported in terms of technology and community.
Those are the factors that help a successful ICO project.

if you want to invest in an altcoin then you have to look at the movements and volume of trades in several exchangers for the coin. at least you will not invest in a coin that will die soon.

there are many things that must be done before making an investment such as seeing team, community, and potential of coin and one in my opinion that must be seen namely the product of the project must be real

Partnert when launching an ICOs is important. Like recent ICO, BTT (Bittorent) having a great success on ICO because having partnertship with one biggest exchanger binance and thats affecting to target and the price when start trade in market

Before we determine where we will invest, we must first understand everything related to the project. In my opinion the most appropriate are:
1. Find out the track record of the company or team in it
2. Find out about the technology, platforms, and currencies they will use in the market.
3. Understand and examine the white paper and use instincts to consider whether realistic or not.
4. How big is the prospect of profits that we will get and the level of risk if it does not go well
5. How is professional marketing and the strategies used

bittorent get their success in ico and also in projects.i think the team behind of bittorent that make this token success.tron project become the master of this projects and i think that make investors confidence to buy bittorent.personally i am very interested with tor ceo, he is very interactive in market.and understand how to make their investors comfort/

basically when we want to invest by looking at the coins first, how about the potential in the future. but most people see coins that are already well-known among the cryptocurrency world. because if we choose a new coin it will be very risky.

you are very right if the investment in pre ico is indeed very risky because we don't know that later ico will be successful or not and the funds we invest will be returned or not if ico is not successful and for that we have to do a lot of research such as teams and partners behind the project

If you want to invest in a coin / ICO, then go through the list:
1. Find out information about the coin
2. Find out information about developers
3. View charts of the fall / growth rate.
Well, then think with your head.

If you are investing in an ICO, you should read the whitepaper, check the team's credibility, partners, marketing strategy, road map and if ever the team is timely on their proposed deadline for their project. Investors lose their confidence on a project if developers do not commit on their schedule and development.

Yes.The team behind the ICO will greatly make an impact to the success of the coin you are going to invest.If they have made a good history that led into a successful ICO,then they are really capable of their respective roles.As an investor,you should also consider the potential of the coin itself.Check if most of the investors are also investing on it.

What should be considered before investing in coins? consider the coin, such as a roadmap, team, enthusiasts, or how the promotion team. usually if the promotion is good, on social media or everywhere, the coin is good.

Consider the decline that will always occur in the exchange, don't just look at the results, but consider the risks that will occur in your capital, study carefully in response to the price of cryptocurrency that tends to be unstable.

There are many things that must be considered before investing in coins. And we must always be careful in considering it because this is very risky, if you are not careful, you will definitely suffer losses. Almost all coins end in a scam and even die in the middle of the road, this will be very risky. Doing in-depth analysis is very important to choose coins that are suitable for investment. Usually if the project cooperates with a well-known brand or company, the chances for success are very high so that it can be used for investment. but in my opinion it's very rare. If you want to invest in my opinion it is better to invest in coins that are old and have good developments such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. This will be more certain and suitable if used for investment.

Decline will happen to most of the icos they get dumped after they get in any exchange, but for some coins I think we touched bottom already so investing in them now is better than investing in icos. Most of the icos are scams, but all of them will stumble down before they start to rise again. If you intend to invest in icos it`s better to wait them to get to exchange, after a dump you get in with big discount and you will have more coins.

Participated at pre ICO is more benefit than you invest your money at ICO, when you make investment at pre ICO you got much coin with lower price than you are joining for investing at ICO time.

The thing that must be considered before we invest in ICO or pre-ICO is conducting research and surveys of the ICO coins, see the track record of the founders whether the people involved in the project can be trusted or not? Also, see the purpose or vision and mission of the ICO project. from both of these, we can decide whether or not to participate in the ICO project because by doing these two things we will know the risks.

Price really matters but the most important is its market credibility and the team handlimg the ICO's. As scam project continue to spread around, we should be careful in choosing the right ICO and for us to get some returns from what we have invested.
I'd rather to choose those coins that have already establish market validity and taking a look for its market value to know if this coin have potential to grow or just it pumps cause of the hypes.

When I am still investing in some coins, I really wanna know whether they are legit or not.

Looking at their Visions, in short their whitepaper is one of the things I usually do. After that I look at the founders, the people behind that certain project. Sometimes I look at the campaign manager of the Signature Campaign of that certain coin in this forum since if that CM is a trusted member, I also trust the project. I usually look at the projects under Yahoo at the time.

Yup that’s a source to be a good earner as for participating you will not have to invent anything but you will get profit by using your information and knowledge but you will not have to use your money. if you want to take part a an investor then try with promising coin and hold for long term never trust any website which is not worth trust.

Well most projects are failing and it is very necessary to invest into cryptocurrencies before investing into it. What you can do is to look at the use case with which the project is based on. i would prefer investing into projects that have real life assets backing its coins. Also i would want to invest into projects which the teams have some sort of buy back procedure which would ensure a constant increase in the value of the coin on the crypto market.

indeed buying coins that have not yet been finished or are still at the ICO stage, it is very risky, maybe choosing a good coin is the same as when we choose a good project when deciding to follow a bounty, we must pay attention
1. the team behind it, usually a good ICO has a team that is clear and familiar.
2. purpose, the concept and even the picture are not of origin ... all are seen in detail and in detail
3. Time, the price is all clear and open
4. All teams in it work openly, receive input from investors and are able to answer all questions from investors without being covered.
and many more things, which are sure to be accurate and read a lot of the good news through telegram, bitcointalk group. at least we will find a lot of enlightenment because there are many people who have the same goals that can be shared.

Many things are we need to considered if we start to invest in crypto. First the background of the coin if its proven that will give you good profits. Second ability of that coin to grow more in the future. It's important that we know a lot of things about to coin that want we invest.

The project idea and the team of management are important factors which i think should be considered before investing in a coin, these affect the future of every coin.

the most important thing to start investing is that we have to know all the risks if investing with any coin by knowing all the risks of course will make investors have confidence or patience in investing with any crypto currency coins

Well theres a lot to think and choice about it.  But typical investor would do about is check the coins potential if its strong enough to sustain it value when the price gets dump, the security of your investment interms of scam and trustworthy system that gain a trust of investors to invest on coin. Lastly Proof of profit investors in their platform to caught the eyes of other people.

What we have to consider before investing is the potential of Crypto coins, whether the coin will potentially have a good value or not. and to find out that we must do research first. and the important thing is, we have to know the risks we will get when we invest, the bad risk is that we will lose our money.

if we trade daily and do not aim for long-term investment, then we can buy by following the current trend, because if the trend of one coin is going up this usually can happen for a long time, then this can be a very good opportunity for us take advantage, but this usually happens temporarily. but if we want to invest long term, we can choose a coin that is already well-known and has proven quality.

First is to ensure that the ICO is legit that the people behind are really existing that they could easily verify in Google in which the higher is their reputation is the better then after verifying, you should ensure that their commodity is feasible to the masses so that it could attract more people.to invest. The higher the participants is the higher the chance the ICO will become a successful project too.

the most important thing to consider, if you want to invest in an ICO project are the team and DEV involved in the project, what is the record and track record of those people?
then what is the reputation of the project team and DEV?
then if you are sure then the next thing you have to analyze is the document from the project such as WP, smartcontract and so on.

indeed, looking at the background of the team is certainly a separate assessment to invest in ico. a good team, of course, will do a good project too, because they are used to producing a work, not just looking for funds

We need to consider their progress about their product marketing by attending different conferences. Most of the companies will do their best in the market for further level of their roadmap once they raised enough money. Lot of things need to be considered before investing in any coin.

The majority of ICOs don’t even have a working product, just a conceptual white paper that outlines how the coin will work. Not only that, ICOs have been asking for an incredibly large amount of funding.you need before investing  a lot of project-related information, whitepaper, team, mentors and most often there’s a block dedicated to the ICO progression.

sometimes i pretty confuse with ico projects.they have no working product but they need really much money to run their projects.meanwhile if we see real company they only need money smaller than in ico projects.so in my opinion i am prefer invest my money in stock market except to existing coins such as btc, eth, xrp etc.

I consider the specific coin in the clay market first does the coin fulfill my needs and be worth investing? well that's what I'm thinking

if you are discussing a matter of consideration, maybe, what you need to prepare is your mentality, because we don't know when a project will scam. however, a team that is professional, and good in its field will not do that. besides, the concepts they make, and also the competition that exists is a pretty good consideration to do.

It's really hard to say that now because huge coins are now scam.Then we have to keep an eye on some things before our investment.How much is the money investor in this coin and how much is the amount of sales per day.how much is that partnership in this coin,check admin team and their profile and need confirm it's fake/trust.Keep this in mind then you do invest.

Since ICOs are not so popular anymore because it was targeted by many scammers and mostly investors lost faith on it. It's best to buy top 10 coins / tokens in the market to ensure legitimacy of the project and to have sure profit in the future when time comes.

Good point we will have to remain careful about power and value of coin in market, for this do all standard things like searching on YouTube google to invest in good coin, and promising one, apart from it we should consider all previous record of that coin related to the price, as if you are investing in a coin the price is falling and falling only since few years then it’s not worth profit, if price kept on changing with time then its good one I guess.

Investing to top coins is not profitable and trading these coins requires knowledge,skills. ICOs are dangerous for those who have no idea what he/she is doing. Top coins may have less risks but in the same time they don't have high return on the investment.

You should consider the platform of that coin before you invest your thousand or your million dollars of your money you should know how strong that coin, their platform, their goal, how many investor they have, how popular, and you should also known how they work because this are the basis that you considerfor you not to lose your money.

Short term investing might not be good if you buy top coins, it requires patience and more time before it accumulates. Its better to invest on top coins than to invest on ICO’s where you can’t see any assurance that you can make profit. Consider everything, that’s how investment works.

First of all, you might want to consider thevolume of the coin on the exchange trading platform. Also you have to look at the vision and mission of the proect and see how feasible the blockchain solution that the team presents is achievable or not. Don't forget to verify the team behind the project also so that you don't get scammed along the way.

Before investing at new coin, like ICO you should know more about ICO details, who is manager or owner of ICO and you should know who is team of ICO, then you have know about road map an ICO when ico ended and listing for selling at exchange market.

it is indeed not easy to examine one by one you mentioned, but it is indeed a step that must be done so as not to get caught up in fraudulent ico. of course with seriousness, later we can distinguish the really good ico

Maybe the best is to go into trade with the hope that there will be a  profit, rather than taking part in the ICO, but eventually scam.
To get involved in trade, of course, you need capital and mental readiness, because in trading you can experience losses.

Huge investors have already chosen what they are and you can see it clearly on top coinmarketcap. Don't find elsewhere because we are lucky that they are cheap and it's a good time for accumulation. It's better to invest on coins that are very close on maturity that investing on new projects that needs years before it get developed.

Ico's investments has failed many of especially those projects that come out around 2018. Investors has lose significant amounts of money and because of this I have decided not to invest into any projects until there are listed in exchange were I can get those coins from exchange at a cheaper rate.

Now investing in ICO projects is very risky. The market for ICO projects is now rather dead than alive. Even good projects with a strong team and a really necessary, sought-after idea often cannot gather the necessary funds. Of course, there are exceptions, and some especially HYIP projects raise funds, but even they are faced with the fact that the prices of their tokens fall several times and trade below the ICO price. It all depends on the overall situation in the crypto market. As soon as the market starts to grow, fees in the ICO will increase, because many will take risks. Try to choose projects with the right idea and the MVP already created.

consider coins in general with high prices and values of course and a stable average graph but the most important thing is confidence and patience as the best capital

you check in, The people behind it and the team.. also icos  investors does not earn much,  but, like holochain and bittorent  investors  won 5 times or even 10 times..  Follow the good news and find a good ico.

There are many factors that affect my investing in a coin. I prefer teams that is physical available or i see some of them in a video or participating in a conference because i know there are chance that it will succeed in the upcoming months or years. I just don't put money quickly because of hype and other's people say about it. I need to do so research before making investment. I know sometimes my research is not 100% but i think it will lessen the loss in the coin that is not making a progress at all. Also important is the product development, how can a project become stable without a strong product.

potential coins, certainly worthy to be held for a long time. but to know that is not easy, except for those who are experienced. learning to analyze is necessary, but at least we have to study a project in detail so that our waiting is not in vain later. of course no less important, you must use free money to invest

consideration from any side is certainly needed because the risk in investment is very big but the confidence needed in the investment so that choosing coins according to the beliefs of each investor

preparation that needs to be considered is the impact that can occur. we don't know when an investment will harm us. however, I feel that the preparation that needs to be prepared properly is mental to the risks that will be present later.

nowadays there are many fake ico's . cheking thier teams or their other info's is not really beneficial  .

they are lucky if they can still earn on an ico that they invest in but if they're lucky to find a hidden gem , they can also earn alot of profit from it .


what about the bad new's ? you can easily classify bad ico's thru bad news  but even good news does not also guarantee that an ico is legit because not all news that we see online is true  .  its still a good idea to come up with your own research  .

If you can ignore things that is not part of your plan it will helps you a lot to success, many factors will make things happen as long as you are well prepared and ready to adopt if it's needed for you to do so, make sure things are in proper place so whatever happens you are ready holding your assets and avoid making loses.

investment in cryptocurrency basically the risk is quite high. there is not even a guarantee that your capital will return and even disappear. understanding and also research on coins is very important. we cannot arbitrarily choose the coin that exists today

many things to consider before investing with ICO, the team behind the project, check the roadmap. and much more.
I personally prefer projects that have real products, and project funds have achieved a soft cap.

the first thing to consider if you want to invest is the risk and coins, because investing in the crypto world is a huge risk so if we are careful it can cause loss of money

Yes, there are alot of things to be consider before investing in a coin or ICOs but the roadmap, real product and achieving the soft cap does not make a project to be consider as a good investment because the community support and the strategy planned by the team also have part in making a project a success.

Not at this moment mate,we cannot trust the ICO now since most of the project now are delaying their project or some had been paused because of this bear market.i visited  some telegram groups lately and most of the topics are about the pausing and suspending of more project.if i were you i would choose to buy good altcoins that has great potentials so the waiting is worthiness you can profit when the market grows and the income can be added for your ico investments in future

I am agree. The important thing in a project is developers team. Solid developers team will produce a good product for community and it will drive the price of token will rising. Many project reach hard cap but when launch in the market after few months, the price decline very deep because developers team can not update the project

Well, remember it requires different expertise when choosing coins already listed on the market and coins about to be listed (ICO). For newbies who do not know how to identify good projects, it is always good to look out for the coins already listed on the market like the top 100 coins. New projects are very difficult to discern their probability of succeeding even after researching into the profile of the team members and how practicable the whitepaper may present.

There are many things that must be considered, of course many people have provided many tips on how to research and analyze a coin. and that's what you have to do before buying, seeing market conditions, checking news and issues, and so on. that's a form of consideration, of course its very important

Note first in what field the company from the coin moves, whether in the field of potential or ordinary, and the second in my opinion, consider how much profit they offer if you invest in them, Remember do not be easily tempted by a large profit and not enter because of that it could be a scam.

First question, do you see potential for massive adoption for coin in which you are investing in?
Second question, did they have team to accomplish that?
Third question, do you want to trade them in short term or just invest for long term?

developers team never offer how much profit if we invest in their project.they let to the market about their token/coin price.no one could guarantee any profit in cryptocurrency market.

surely the risk that we will get for investing in crypto, because crypto investment is a big risk. hence from that first consider before entering investment in cryptocurrencies

That is why we should think how profitable it is before investing. Though we accept some fact that not all the time we've been profitable but it is our own perception to do better to make profit rather than of sitting in the corner and just wait for the market recover.
As we do ICO participation, we can't guarantee for making gains on it cause all the prices will matters on the market exchange and may possible that price may fall below ICO.

Not too fast in making a choice, first to take your time to study the potential of the coin, because investing in crypto is a high risk then you have to be careful.

Risk only there behind you, you can't avoid it even you are investing on "safe" coins like top 10 on Coinmarketcap or any source that you know. There is a time that you will lose your money no matter what the reason is.

You don't even need to take 12121 years to just invest on coin, take a look briefly and we done.

I think the most important thing is who made the ico. for example you have heard Telegram ico., everyone lined up to get in. Brand or person is very important. trust the strong organized by the powerful people is the ico best.

because to know the risks when investing is very important especially in crypto, because investing in crypto is a big risk so we all also have to really choose good coins

You still can do the arbitrary, but you can just don't know how it works :^

And most of the members in those telegram groups are just bounty hunter, they are just grumbling about the bounty and let their ego to flood up the groups without adding any important discussion there. It's unfortunate to see that.

Most important characteristics of a coin that we need to consider is it was make for massive adoption on which can surely give a huge demand on the market that can make the price high but we should also seek the team who are responsible for the accomplishment of it if they have been well experience on the field that their coin wanted to be because they are the only people who can make the coin successful through their various ideas that can make the coin suites in the market demands.

in almost all telegram groups, bounty hunters often ask about token distribution. of course this will greatly disrupt the discussion about the project. if the bounty hunter continues to do so, then the development team's stigma becomes negative. and it is feared that they will eliminate the bounty allocation.

It is a big risk when you invest in Cryptocurrency because you cannot assure that the coin you invest can give you good profit because it is really hard to choose a good coins these days,there are some project that good at first but in the end they don't have good improvement or their tokens become dead that's why you need to take a risk before you earn good profit.

These are my pointers before investing in a coin:
professional team members
A good website
A working product

It is hard to know how much profit you will get but you will have to wait for perfect time of investing and selling, the best thing is to invest only on right time and choose best coin which can surely change your life, value of coin is most important you can know about it from market as well, look at promising nature of the coin.

Timing is important. Many investor lossing their portfolio value because the choose bad timing when start making investment and when we make investment at right time and right coin, we will gain profits

Indeed, Tron have good marketing team and their CEO very attractive in social media. Beside having good marketing team, Tron have partnert with one largest exchanger to launch BTT and the result is success.

It is always good to run some checks before investing in a coin because not all the coins out there are capable of surviving or rising in price. It is good to know the idea and product of the coin before investing. Is the product ready for the market? Is the product in high demand on the market? These questions should guide your decision towards making a choice because a highly demanded product will eventually cause an increase in the price and value of the coin.

What must be considered is mental readiness and capital. The two points are most important, because coin trading is very closely related to profit and loss. If not ready can be fatal to health.
To overcome the above problems must learn first and recognize the character of coins that will be used as investment, so that with a very reasonable consideration to make it more profitable.

tron ceo habit make their investors feel comfortable buying their coins.he know what the thinkhe should to do to make their investors profits.and now btt investors get lot of profit,its price rise more 5x in market.

Yes tron is one of th best projects that became succesful this year but i dont think that it can surpass the legacy of a standard crypto  .

Anyway , best factor to consider before investing a coin is your capital and if how much you can afford to loose  because this in crypto , we are playing a game of money . money is more important here before considering any other risk because you cant invest on legit and scam projects if you dont have a money .

The idea of mental readiness can be applied when investing with any coins inside the exchange, planning and researching is very essential as you can earned knowledge about the proposed road plans coming from the developers, from this point, you can set up your mindset and extend your patience
knowing that from the long term engagement the team will fully develop a working product that will bring huge success to you.

Consider your patience and how well you can adopt to certain changes around, then find qualities from a coin you believe that will bring you success.

Its true we playing a long game and i think if money is important but more important is the project and developers team. I am agree that we should make investment with money we can afford to loose because its high risk investment market

And the risk of each coin you choose also varies, if you choose coins from the top marketcaps, of course the risk can be said to be smaller than you choose coins that are out of it. therefore choosing the right and potential coins is very important. there are many instruments that you can use to consider before buying, the number of marketcaps, number of users, reputation and so on

These are also essential factors to consider before investing in a coin but I want to add that the professional team is not enough, they need to work hard, that's essential because many projects have professional teams but they rarely update their project information or advertising, that makes the project gradually go down over time. Updating information on social networking sites is very important, I often observe very carefully those things, if the project has a potential team but owns a dead community, I will definitely not choose to invest

What I consider in investing to a currency is their project's demand in the economy because having a currency that has a useful products or tool can easily recognised by the participants. And I think it can get more popularity to the other investors that really wants to have a useful currency with a better growth in the market.

I know that this may be harder for some people (if they aren't developers), but I do find that reviewing the source code is crucial to most crypto coins.

Even just reviewing their code style/publishig/commits patterns is important.. It shows how much they test/regression test their solutions and eliminates any risk of bad code releases.

Also shows how much they are contributing and updating the coins.

E.g. I love the XTL group, they are continously working on many branches and solutions and the way in which they release and push their code changes is very professional. Coin is currently low price but I am keeping them in my bags list purely from the code perspective.

in every trade that you do anywhere and with coins anything including cryptocurrency or fiat must have risks and you have to take risks to be able to seek profits and be ready with whatever will happen when you do it.

Before investing into a coin you should check first thier teamembers, many ico these days are putting fake people on thier website just to attract investors, read thier whitepaper if they really have a working product with use cases.

The short answer is that you need to look at everything in the project, you cannot just look at one aspect of the project and think that everything is going to be fine, you need to look at everything and if even one single detail is off and you do not like it then you should avoid investing in such a project because most likely it is a scam and you will never see your money again if you invest in it.

You must conduct in-depth research before investing in ICO coins or coins that are already on the exchange market, because in the Cryptocurrency world there are many cases of fraud, so before you make an investment, you must be careful and keep looking for information about the coins you will buy.

There are many fraud cases about the ICO and many investors suffer losses, which are the basic information they lack,
most investors invest their funds based on information through third parties or through brokers and get erroneous education from brokers.
if the investor is a bitcointalk community, I think they are quite careful in investing their funds, with educational experience in this forum,

The best thing to do before investing in a new project is to do a personal research into the project in other to ascertain the authenticity of the project. Some projects are scam and others end up unsuccessful. It is through research that an investor will know which one is a good project with much capabilities of yielding profit. Consider the credentials presented by the team and study extensively about their background. Are they what they present themselves? What is the product of the project? Is it ready for the market? These are some of the questions that can guide your research.

indeed by learning in this forum, of course we get a lot of benefits, including investing in ico. often I get a telegram from someone who claims to be marketing an ico, and after I confirmed it turned out that the person was a fraud

and now too many scammers appear in telegram group.they trying get money with wrong ways.much people already become their victim.and community manager should tell their member group about it.

that could be the first point when we analizing ico projects.today many ico used another people picture in their site and some of them only using avatar.personally i will go away from this projects.their team didnt serious to developt projects in my opinion.

The things I consider before investing are listed  below
1. The Projec Whithepaper: This must be explicit and realistic, not a vague project that seems not to be relevant to the global world
2. The team and there Patner involve in the project, there past track record
3. Amount to be raised and how they intend to use such fund.

maybe the thing that must be considered before investing in an ICO is the activity of the team. sometimes, teams always provide news about their appearance in various countries, or regions. besides, we also check every social media they have. the quality of a project is also valued from the active team in various fields.

There are lots of things you can get if you are looking deeper into the project you are following and seeing the high confidence of the location or meeting of the project. Many ways you can look for if you are excited.

We have to take into consideration some elements before we venture in a certain coin.
Having an experienced team, ideally with a strong track record in developing and launching blockchain technology is of the essence. A core team that is capable of developing, completing and/or expanding the project will be the life force to the ICO's success. Also we have to dig deep by looking at their previous projects, websites and social networks. This can help provide a better sense of their background, specifically the people they have known and the work they have done.
Another key element is the ICO's whitepaper. The whitepaper should provide detailed information on the project involved; the actual idea [should be compelling, realistic and timely], the underlying technology and also how the token sale will work. The whitepaper should provide a more in-depth explanation and details surrounding sales of digital tokens.
Conducting our own thorough research can greatly reduce our chances of buying in a bad coin.











 

 

Rule 1: Invest only what you can afford to lose. (most important rule)

Rule 2: Try hard to make sure you don’t loose what you have invested. (second most important rule)

Rule 3: Less profit is always better than small/big loss. Do not dream to be overnight millionaire. Compounding via frequent small profits can give great returns.

Rule 4: Never chase the peak. If a coin has gained significantly in last 24 hours or few days then stay away. Even if your friend has invested in it and you are afraid that he will earn more than you then keep calm. Do not invest.

Rule 5: Use pump and dump groups and trading signal groups carefully. Pull out on 1st target if there are multiple suggested targets, if first target has been achieved in last 1 hour then stay away. Always assume that you will be the one making least profits following such groups, owners will make the most.

Before investing in a coin , I have this urge to always check out the team's passion towards working and improving on use cases of the coin.
The use case of the coin.
The telegram group ...this is to check for members outlook to the coin etc.
I look at the price too ,if it's within my reach.

Before investing in cryptos, just follow simple rule- Invest what you can afford to lose-
If you are investing from your retirement or education or other savings,PLEASE Don't do that

I think that's a very broad statement to make. I mean, technically 90% of the coins on coin market cap (and the ones that would be considered "good coins") had an ICO.

So if the advise is "Don't invest in ICOs, invest in the existing coins" then so be it; but keep in mind that the existing coins - for the most part - also had an ICO at some point of inception.

Also, labeling all ICOs like garbage is a pretty lazy way of saying "many, or some ICOs are garbage/scams"

Do some due diligence, and don't spread negativity across ALL projects. There are a few quite decent - you'd be surprised.

And speaking of gambling, if you are into that sort of thing, check out Faireum ;)

It's for crypto gambling (or reach out to the devs and tell them about it!)

Peace!

Ok my opinion, because a unique and good concept does not guarantee the success of an ICO project lately, so if you want to invest in ICO then try to see ICO which almost reaches HC. In my opinion it is important because without funds or venture capital they are very likely to fail and now it is the running to invest in an ICO project, regardless of how expert you of investment.

It's about my consciousness because almost lot of ico doing scam everytime.I have learned a lot here,there are a lot of things to consider before investing and many things have to be thoroughly examined.team member,telegram support, their own ico partner, how much investments already got,and what's Exchange their will get this ico.Everything we need becarefully before our ico investment.

mosf of investors now dont do these thing.much of them doing nothing when decided use their money to buy cryptocurrency.separate our asset between saving , daily needs and for investing would be better to manage our financial.

on average investors see from the existing whitepaper and they see how active the members and admins in the telegram are, and more importantly from them is to look at projects that at least have begun to be developed by looking at github which should be available for all ICO which exists.

of course the risk and coins are because the risk is very important for us to know to invest, especially in the crypto world the risk is huge, so you must be smart in choosing coins for investment

If you are purchasing a coin in the ico, you should check the usages of the token first were you can find it to their whitepaper anyway.
Then, having an escrow in new ico project is an advantage, but if there is no escrow look at the team behind if they fake or not, then check the allocation budget for the project too. Also last but not the least, check if they have a huge community who support the project  as well.

In investing there are certainly deep considerations to consider,
"You have to know your risk profile and financial goals, this is a priority.
in this case it is divided again towards the achievement of money when investing and what is needed, do not forget to choose the coins you want to invest, in the investment category there must be both long and short term. Just decided to invest.

The main thing that should be considered is the Bitcoin vs USD market, it is unfailing to have the analysis since the altcoins depend in some way on the Bitcoin movements, for this reason if you are clear, you should look for the community, the project, see what aspirations or what do you want to achieve with the currency, what advances do you have and, above all, what volume does it represent, normally many see how many Level 1 Exchanges are, if they are in Exchanges such as Bitfinex, Binance, Bittrex, the currency is very good and It is worth thinking to invest in that currency to keep it for a good time. ::)

The first thing to consider before investing in any coin is the product it self, because most of the scam ICO we have here and there have no working product on ground and at that their always take investors money to build the product which in most cases turn out to be a failure. So the first thing to consider before investing in any ICO is the project to see if it an already established business that will support the coin.

Yeah scammers are always there to take away your money and to make your suffer lose so before investing make sure your coin has proper wallet to hold your coin and your profit will be safe then, while choosing a coin make sure the coin is developing one and has good volume in market, and on time keep watching is your coin on price movement and development or not.

There are a lot of things to be considered when we are investing in a coin. If we are investing in a coin make sure that its running campaigns so that theirs a bigger chance to get higher benefits from it.  We should make a research of the coin read their whitepaper to make sure that you're not investing on a scam.

There are lots of things to be considered upon choosing the right coin to invest. As for me, it is important that we'll know everything about a certain coin first before we invest. We should do series of research to get rid of mistakes and regrets in the future. We should choose a well established coin to be sure of things.

Always check how much volume of coin transaction, lower volume is hard for getting to higher price some coin. Never become higher price if less volume transaction and you will keep holding your asset until have higher volume.

More bigger daily transaction volume, its must be more liquid. We must be want to invest in liquid coin or token and i think this is a good method. More transaction volume, its mean more investor but we should looking on the project too. If produce a good and working product, i think we invest on it is good decision

  Yeah before investing it is good to keep your eyes on future as well, choose the coin which is sure for giving you profit and which can increase your money to high extent, before investing chose the most promising coin and see market reputation and history as there are so many scammers which can scam you so look for potential and good market value of the coin.

Exactly. Choose the coin with high volumes of last 24 hours. Filter out the coin with cheap price, pick the coin which has good growth trend. I would advise you to choose the top numbered coins which will certainly bring turn over.

If you are going to invest in an ICO be more cautious in choosing the right ICO. Look at the service, project they have taken upon, the team orofile, how long they exist in the market and the infrastructure they have in place. Analyse and invest  

I choose coins to invest by checking the market volume, checking how active the telegram groups are and other social media groups as well.
Check the team's outlook or resolve to making sure that the road map and developmental plans set out for the coin.
I check out opinions of other investors and traders about the coin, especially If I plan doing the coin for long term.

I do not indicate buying much in ICO, but after listing in some exchange, analyze very well those responsible for the project, and if the same has the market for such, invest with conscience!

before i invest in any particular coin i check the roadmap and timeline and their team LinkedIn profiles and i observe whether the team is attending blockchain events

It is not about being worry but it is about make plan to invest, so when you are investing don’t think about lose only, you are investing to earn, try to look in market about value of the coin you are investing and only then invest. Try to invest the most promising coin with high potential,  look for red market and buy at lowest price only to hold long time.

Of course I consider my trust and full belief before joining an investment, no matter what happens when dealing with a failure or success I will accept, but should only choose the right coins and have a good potential for success and well earning good profits.

First it must be working product,  second, it must have real-life usage and then some good features if exclusive then better i know coin like that, DeepOniON with features like DeepSend,DeepVault and after code rebase maybe lighting network and RSK smart contracts,so maybe this can be one of coins you decide to invest.

Nice try promoting your favorite coin, I actually invested with Deeponion in the early stage but I was not able to follow their update now.
I know they got a lot of supporters but the price has dump and so far no new exchanges added with a decent volume, I hope for your success as I already
have mine when I cashed out during the bull run.

You should also consider if they will reach their softcap or hardcap if possible since because no matter how strong platform they have if they didn't reach their softcap it will be all in vain. You should also check their roadmap and the profile of the developers.

Beside your reasons which we should consider before investing in a coin, we should also look at token economics, inflation/deflation rate, look for coins which already have MVP. Also, i have to note that, if ICO did not reach softcap you will get your money back.

I think what is needed to make the project successful is the community and their partners. The large and friendly community will help them a lot when a series of project articles appear on social networks and google. That is great for the project.
Their partners will help them get more opportunities when they want to implement a new development project.

The first thing to be prepared is knowledge about investing or trading coins, then preparing capital and finally must be mentally prepared because this is a business, and in business there is a profit and loss.
After all is ready, then choosing a coin that has good prospects and green signals means it can be an option. In business there is no need to wait, because the action is better than always counting in search of the right moment, but the price finally rises.

First thing, it's to look for it's chart. Through this, you can see its price from the start where it has been in added in the market. Once you figure it out, try to look for their roadmap. If they have an upcoming improvements/big event, then it has potential to pump, thus it's a good opportunity to buy it.

right what you say in your opinion is one of the ways to invest in crypto currency choosing the right coin for me the most important thing is our conviction and patience in starting an investment with crypto currency and making a profit from its investment

I wouldn't. These are mostly cash grabs. Most of these ICOs end up with alts that are practically useless. If I'm planning to spend money, I'd rather just trade established alts. At least these can just be held if their prices is low. Most alts just get dumped and that's it, the price never recovers.

According to my advice, you should not invest in ICO anymore. no matter how good it is, it still can't get a good price on the floor and project owners often put investors aside. WPP, for example, is an extremely successful project but the price on the exchange is very low. divided 12 compared to the price of ICO.
Wait for STO and IEO, don't invest in ICO anymore if you don't want to lose all your money.

You really have to be sure and have high patience to see prices going back well and you have to learn more about the kind of coins that are good for investing in the future.

I agree, currently investing in ICO is not as easy as we expect because there are so many new ICOs that are emerging now but many of them are just fraudsters or even their Projects are unable to reach softcap. Need more analysis and consideration if we want to be successful with ICO.

Research. Dig everything google everything about particular project. We have so many ICOs now days that is hard to determine which is good and which is scam. Without research think that you will waste money invested. And if you think this project is good pay attention to whitepaper. Then search team member do they have some social account when is created..... 

Without good and careful research you will be in no position to do something with your investment.

The things that you should to consider before investing in a ICO project is to read and check the details lf the website and whitepaper, so you could see if the project that you will invest with is legitimate or a scam. And also by checking the team members is needed to know if they could be trusted.

From my personal experience it is good to find the coin with good trading volume. This will let the user get a good idea about the respective coins growth over the period through the chart. Because there are coins that show high pumping but there won't be good trading support from the team through exchanges which makes our investments worthless.

In my own personal opinion, the thing you should need to consider before investing in a coin is by checking if the project has a potential to reach the softcap or the hardfork because the project will be successful and your investment will be great if they reach the hardfork.

Before investing or trading at some altcoin always check how many market have support for selling and buying this coin, where many market are support will have big chance for make this coin will grow up.

For me before i investing some coins i already check the website if this is legit then the whitepaper because this is important in every project and the last is activities of the socials media account of the coins that you want to invest. One of my friend told me is to invest if the coins are under japan there are more chance to success because many japan ico`s successful. But its up to you whether you like it or not its only my plan for investing because i afraid to lose.

Now it has become too difficult to choose a good project ICO/project for investment.
There are lot of things you should need to consider before selecting and ICO, but even after full analysis risk percentage remains too high due to lot of scams and shitcoins in the market.
It has become too easy to show Community strength through good marketing etc even if the project is crap. I will suggest to take analysis of top ICO analysts before selecting an ICO, they will guide you better instead of your own decision.

if daily volume trading in small amount,i think coins will difficult to growth.and choosing this coins type make us hard to earn profit in near future.it will have to completely developt to attrack new investors.

consideration before we invest in coins is to do a research first whether the coins we want to buy have the potential to rise or not, we must follow the trend of going up a coin, this can make us get a profit.

We must understand about the project we will invest. and also know the strength that we will get or benefit. so we understand the reason why we have to invest

I see coin prices experiencing successive increases and expert analysts about the prospect of a coin. Then convinced that the choice of investment in coins would provide good profit for the long term. The main factor is capital must be money that is not used by the family. And investment without pressure so that the mind relaxes and makes decisions correctly.

If the coin is already listed on the market, research into its products and the demand level of the product on the market. It is through a highly demanded product that a coin can rise up. If it is a new project, research into the product or idea of the project. Is the idea feasible enough to attract investors? Does the project have an already working product? What is the expertise level of the team to achieve the goals of the project? All these should serve as a guide in choosing a good ICO to invest in.

There are a lot of things to consider in investing in ICO.
As for me, I was lucky enough since the time I began joining the industry bitcointalk.org were already introduced to me by a friend.

ICO investing may take risks but you have to consider all the aspects. You must make sure that the team is there and very passionate to pursue their project. I still remember the days where dogecoin was getting started, they were just trolling but having fun. The people admired their concept even though it looks shitty for some. And then look at them today, those who invested dogecoin before won their bets and still, dogecoin is here in the market today.

Source code must be open to the public as much as possible if you are mostly relying to the codes. But for everybody's preference, it's about the team, the project on its own and the use of that coin.

I don't think ICO's are that much important nowadays especially with what we've been like last year.

if you are a beginner, I think there are a lot of risks that you will face if you want to invest in ICO, in essence you have a lot to learn and read a lot from the experience of people who already have extensive insight into ICO. do not lazy to read, and after that I give a little advice to you, "use the money that is ready to disappear from $ 10 and max $ 50," so if you get a scam project, the project fails or the coin price does not match when the agreement, you just lose a little, ;)

I have stopped investing in ICO for the time being because I really do not see any reason to invest in ICO. All the ICO coins which finally made to the exchanges, went down from the ICO price so there is no need to take risk and invest so early in a coin which it is not even on an exchange.

For investment, I will recommend only the coins which are on Binance and Bittrex, as there volume is more and there are more chances that those coins will grow fast during the bull market.

  Time will change as all time never remain same, if today things are high it means tomorrow it will be low again but it is about us how to deal with, buy more if you find it is low, same as last year I bought high number of coin to hold which is now increasing with time, before investing just invest a promising coin and search about its history to avoid scamming.

The most important factor we must consider in crypto coin investment is the readiness to accept all the risks we will get when we start investing crypto coins.

It seem reputation and influence of the team is the most important factor when it comes to the evaluation of a project.Shitty token is always the product of a team with poor reputation.Take for example, Binance conducted an ICO for a particular token on their exchange, the token sold out in less than 5s and 6M $ hardcap was achieved.Compare this with some projects struggling to raise 1m$ in the last 12months.

Indeed it is not good to be careless while choosing any coin to invest your money, it is very important to have good research about your chosen coin, having patience will make us earn profit more than double as panic selling makes us suffer, fix your goal and don’t think about selling until your reach your selected target.

Yes it is the most important thing of course, and in the Crypto trading world mental readiness must be strong, because prices always move up and down quickly, so strong mental readiness is needed.

A team making a good community work is always a factor to invest there. Doing Q and A, sharing activities of the project, making updates public and show that the team is doin a good job can make a succesful project. A team sharing nothing would not collect much money.
The idea is also important, of course, if the idea of the project is bad, a good reputation for maerketing would change nothing.

if you still doubt whether ico will succeed or fail later, it will be safer if you invest in ico already in the market exchange, or coin.

maybe your advice is right by knowing and giving each other advice in a community, maybe it is safer to choose the ico that will be chosen because nowadays it is very difficult to find ico and altcoin which can be profitable in investing using ico

Everything about it, literally man why you ask? Because if the coin you are investing with has a good running campaign you have a better chance to gain something in this, not like on just some stable random coin that even experts have hard time dealing with speculating this kind of coin. In ICO's you have a better chance of gaining more money that you invested in. Of course it differs from bad to good management so choose wisely and cautiously

the success of ICO campaign is not a meter of success in choosing an investment coin. I often find ICOs who have long-term vision and prospects. and stunning projects. but after they achieve success. they disappeared not continuing the proposal as they were raising funds. I concluded that the project, the whitepaper, the team did not become the meter of investment success. but how they run their project after crowdfunding is finished.

for now investment in ico is very risky, if we are not experienced for that. but we can learn a few things to get a good project. including by conducting detailed research on the ico

I think a investor need to have a good knowledge about the things related with the project .He should study the project .I think the product which is more useful to the community will have more potentiality to success . The team will need to have a strong  activity and more experience on the relevant field.However the project need to have a clear road map .That's how i actually research a project .I think an investor may follow this scale before investing a project.

actually at the beginning of last year, there were many trusted ICOs with maximum results, but along with the popularity of the ICO project there were many people who wanted to make the same concept but could not produce maximum results

In my own point of view, the thing you should consider before investing in a coin take a look first on its details and see if it can be trusted because there are now a lot of scams. And better check if is worth it to invest with because you might don't get a huge profit from it.

the quality of chat from the project community also needs to be considered after paying attention to the details that we consider valid, don't be fooled by a large number of members because it can enlarge directly from the airdrop program etc. We also have to look at the analysis of prospective investors because they will be very influential in many things that can be done after the ICO has happened and the next process is on the market.

the things we need to consider before deciding to invest in the ICO must certainly be able to understand how the project works, whether it has a strong team and is able to invite professional people in it who already have a good reputation and have experience. other than that, we should be able to see future goals related to the coins to be launched, if the project does not have a good future, you should not make the decision to invest in a platform that cannot be trusted for the future because the risk is very large

The first thing to me is what people are talking about a new coin and how much. If this information satisfies me look for other details such as platform and other technical things. This days I do not trust newbies on coin market and prefer to invest in such coins as Litecoin and Eth.

maybe its like ehat people say, you must have good fund. dont put all yours to crypto, i think 50% is good idea to play in this part. if you lose here, you still have 50%. try your best to choice good ico. many scam ico and many people lose their money. dont forget to imitate the expert when you want to invest in, you must see their track record, even follow where they invest their money

Yes you’re right, new investors should always read and learn from those who experienced in it already. And they shouldn’t also rely on just one source, cause no matter how good that source used to be, nobody knows all, so they are likely to give out wrong information at a time.

So, rely on many sources to get information. And as a newbie, major things to consider is if what you’re investing is better than the existing ones, the marketing budget and whether it has a community. There are still a letter things tho', but these ones are very important.

Personally, before I invest in any coin  be it ico or coin already in the exchanges, I normally do findings about the usefulness of the coin to the development of the blockchain technology.
What problems the coin is set to solve in the cryptocurrency space.
The passion of the team members towards further development of the coin.
The activitiveness of the telegram group if any.
The price of the coin etc.

Before investing in a new coin need to consider about the product behind the project. Also, it is a must to have a better learning about the trading process relative to the specific coin. Very few progress in short term which will be preferred much for trading. Another important thing required is the development team and the funding partners.

First thing first. Make sure that take all the precautions necessary. Cryptocurrency is full of scams, hacks, phishing attacks, impostors and fraudsters, to be real on this. Use this advice “Invest only what you can afford to lose” everybody knows it but unfortunately nobody follows it. Make some defensive step if necessary cuz may be good or bad call for you fund invested. Do clean and thorough research of invested project, do this before you think of investing.

Investing in any aspect is so risky even in cryptocurrency or other investment there is so many reason to check if the ico project have a potential or not, first check carefully its white paper including the goal and concept of tge project then check the profile of the team theres some project that use a fake profile then last as your self if this product is legit or not if has a real developer and product to run for long term not for short term.

There will always be risks in a job, this also applies to crypto investments. Many things we have to take into account, among them is by conducting research on the coins that we will invest, choosing a project with a strong vision and determining the best coins is something we must do to determine our profits.

Always check situation where want to invest your money at ethereum or bitcoin, you have check condition what news of crypto is good or bad, when have good news you can start investing your money but keep away when getting bad news of crypto.

Many times the news gives the opposite effect, if they are good, sometimes they go down in price, and if they are bad, people sell cheap and there are massive purchases and the price goes up.

Being an investor we will have to face risk and only those will earn at the end who knows well how to get though it will have profit at the end for those who are making researches will make no mistake because it become risky to trade and invest any coin without research which is bad though, so I think good to choose promising coin and invest for long time

I’m not the one kind of person who jumps into things without proper research. Before I invest my money in any ico or cryptocurrency, I take out my time to do proper research about it before investing, cause if you don’t make your time before jumping in with your two legs, you might end up regretting it later.

Cryptocurrency is a very risky thing to do, so anyone who is buying it should he very careful, so they don’t make mistakes they will regret later.

Those process needs to be well taken care in order to achieve such goals, you have to possesed the value of investing, learning all the fundamentals
and keep your attentions in all the things that happens inside the market, you need to face reality over your expectations, as things needs to react
properly when you enter yourself from this market.

Consider things that you never anticipated and act wisely as things will favor you along the way.

I'd play safe and only invest large amounts in the "old" coins, namely BTC and ETH, plus a couple more of the stable coins.

The thing with new alts is that even when you did your homework and found they're legit, that's not enough to be sure of their success. Dozens go live in a month and they can't all succeed. Maybe invest in one you really like but don't get hopes high too much.

Invest in cryptocurrency is risky but we can minimize the risk, I suggest you to choose ICO which consist of many expert or experienced people behind it. Don't choose project which only founded by 2-5 people. if the ICO use escrow service then it is very safe. Choose ICO that held in exchange site because you  always can trade your coin anytime.

Before investing to the altcoins make sure it will have potential to increase the value of the coins. And the developer of the coin will still there and keep updating and upgrading the system of the altcoins before you invest. Investing to the altcoins need to be a lot of research and getting more information to the coin. Before investing you will consider more to avoid losing money.

I consider of investing in a coin is i see how much volume of trade it happens daily so that i should be able to sell if i am buy high with low margin profit. As i always trade and i dont invest for long as i dont love any coin deeply, i just take profit as soon as i see as i know what market goes up will come down also.

In my own experience as a trader and an investor i consider to get to know more about the coin i prefered to buy and invest if its good for me and good for me to gain more profits when it is officially listed in the exchange markets. And also i consider the team of the coin or the theproject itself if it is legit , considering also the roadmap and must have a good whitepaper for investors to participate in the project.

Involving without any reason with any coin is not good for sure as most of time people love specific coin and they invest without any reason so it is not good better invest in other one if you are not having promising future with it, try to make research about the coin and don’t invest only for someone suggestion analyze the market properly and invest promising coin only.

Investing in Cryptocurrency is of course risky. Risk is important for us to know how to invest, especially in the world of crypto risk, so you should be smart when choosing money for investment, Most of the new icos are great risky.  it makes more sense to invest in proven coins...

The first thing to consider is the benefits of the project for the future. Go check the team and community as the second step. The project partner is a strong supporter of project growth so that it becomes very important.

What is important to me is the market where the coin can be traded, especially for markets with competitive volumes. Then is analyzing the supply of coins they provide and compared to market capitalization. the third is the development of these coins in their long-term plans. developer activities in their coins are also highlighted by market analysts.

The risk on investing a coin is a bit high for now, wait for the time it stabilize no matter what you do you must have a full control of what's going to happen and if not then have a contingency plan to back it up in case it fails. Also research is a must, don't ever get yourself involve in something you cannot comprehend yet instead seek for knowledge every now and then. There are a lot to consider in regards to investing a particular coin.

But I see that the market is good at the moment, the Bitcoin market tends to be stable in recent months, so it can open a gap to invest in Altcoin, because for me when the market is stable as it is today, it would be good to trade Altcoin. If you want to invest in Altcoin.

I usually check the project first, what is it about and what is the benefit if i buy the coins, after that i look at the team behind the project. If all is good, then i will investing my money into that coin. There are so many scam ICO and trash project, so we need to careful before invest in a coin.

many things we could to do to analize project quality.and ofcourse we have to analize it well and becarefull with our decision.most of ico now very risk , only less of them that success in market.

for me the first time we see when making an investment is we have to see whether the project that we take and make the place of investment is safe or not. because the security of a project is certainly very necessary for investors, and the investors also need a real project.

The most important thing while considering in investing in a coin is their road map and their tie-ups and blockchain conference meeting with all these features we can consider investing in a coin

Well said buddy. The fact is that there are always bad nuts in good nuts and we can't say we'll only have good ICOs or we can completely eradicate scammers. That's definitely not possible, not at all.
Also, ICOs are no more about 1000x, but since many are in for easy and quick profits, they'll always criticize for no reason.

All of ICOs are new when they first launch to the internet dude, there is no new ICOs.

They can make fake meeting and edit it to make real, it's easy to edit those stuff so it looks real and some of ICOs got caught because they edited the whole meeting to just make sure the investors didn't make any doubt when investing.

in investing, I think of course we must consider everything. because investment is not easy so it requires our analysis in finding important information.

First of all, it is necessary to take into account the technology. If you do not see the use of this technology, then you should not invest ICO.

the first and most important to consider was about the risk.did we accept this risk if someday we were suffered.i think most of trader and investors could not accept this , they are not ready to face it.

The risk in investment is really one thing we should consider first because if we don't know the level of damage and risk in it, we can get a terrible loss or we can call it an unexpected death for us, and I believe that most investors and traders accept and are ready for the risks they face, they know behind this risk can be a gold store and profit for them, so they need to risk. People who are not ready for these problems, they are not an investor or trader, they are just newbie and are beginning their journey to become a true investor.

To me the community strength, the project ideology and of course the team members are important to me, if these factors are carefully considered, our chances of falling victim to worthless bounties shall be reduced.

Invest for truly reliable projects, such as Ethereum, ADA, XRP, and other CMC Top, because they have a good reputation, so we will feel safe to invest in them.

If u want to invest in a coin that isnt bitcoin, my wise advice to u my man, is just dont.... ;D

Agree, beside daily trading volume, if that coin or token listed in reputable exchanger, i think its good coin and good project. The price sometimes not reflecting on the project and mostly is speculation.

It is always good to give some thoughts to the benefits of the project in the future yet it is paramount to ask yourself, "is the coin worth investing in?" To know if a good is worth investing in comprises the authenticity of the coin or project, its benefits, its products and demand on the market, the experience level of the team etc. To ascertain all these factors, an investor is required to do a personal research on that coin or project.

Yes if price after investing in a coin is rising it means the project you selected is really good, for me trading with bitcoin is best thing which saves time, money and speculation strategy, so before investing in a coin make sure your coin has promising future and strong supporters as an investment.

right, once again if we are hesitant to invest funds into a coin, I also recommend investing in bitcoin, where this coin is the safest to invest because it has an influence on other coins

in any investment, all considerations must be considered. we know that without consideration, we can get substantial losses. well, in cryptocurrency, we must pay attention to the opportunities that exist. of course conditions become the first consideration, besides that the information available can also make us predict future prices. however, in this case, I think the initial consideration is the risk of an investment, on a coin.

It depends on the project itself, the target clientele and any other success they had, if it is the case.

Information about owners and project developers can always be counterfeited, trust in this information, it is also similar as we trust the review site about the project, everything was a trap, they were set up for us to fall into. Instead of looking for this useless information, we should look at the information that others provide about the project, from forums to communities and social networks, comments from people are the factors that we should consider, it is very complete and evaluates the project at many different angles

We can all see how bad the current situation is. And if we can move accordingly, we can reduce our loss. Most of the prices are in very bad condition, new ICOs can not reach softcap and more. Scam projects are also one of the biggest problems. In this case, you should take care of every step and should research thoroughly, then you can survive.

The most important parameter that matters for me is the last 90 days or 180 days price change. I have been collecting crypto for more than 7 years, and from what I have seen, once a coin goes down the chances are that it will eventually die out.

I believe that this happened to some new coins and those coins that has no real products!  I have seeing many coins also that goes down and in no time recovered and become stronger again.  Bitcoin is a great example for this.  If we look at the graft we would find a lot of up and down in price.

I think that ICO´s projects have always had a much greater risk to any investment, since great eventualities have arisen where some investors do not go very well, however, seeing it from another point of view, it is good to buy any Altcoin, including some ICO, just when it has begun and there is confirmation of the bullish stage of Bitcoin.

It's simple, when Bitcoin is in the bullish trend stage, everything goes up, the market will turn green, it is the ideal time to take advantage of buying any Altcoin or an Ico, to sell it at the most appropriate time, the safest investment It has always been and will be Bitcoin.

Some claim that a project having many followers, abundant community and innovation will guarantee the high price and is a lie, investors mostly see the numbers, technology is often of little interest. That is why when Bitcoin rises in price, what many do is send a part for altcoins, and other currencies or projects, because they take advantage of the rapid growth rate of these currencies to finally sell them at their highest point and sell for buy  bitcoin.

I do not know for sure, maybe if you have often bought ICO parts, you will get used to and distinguish those that are legitimate and that is a shitcoin.

do not have to buy often to know that, because the experiment will make lose money. just look and observe their project. now it's better to invest in IEO, joining during pre-sale allows us to get a good profit. besides seeing where they will be listed, at least a large market guarantees that the trading volume will be good enough.

Before you invest in a coin, you should consider the fundamental data that are available in the internet so you can easily evaluate the project or the coin if it is worth it to invest long term. Technical data from the charts are also essential because that is where you will base your entry and possibly exit point if you decided to get in.

the fundamentals in a project must be good, don't let you choose the wrong one,
but fortunately we can get help from coinmarketcap, I think the top 100 can be for investing in the mid term or long term

Don't ever rely on coinmarketcap, they are also paid thing that they are just claiming that they are not paid, well, so let's not just rely our thinking of investment to them, not all of their top coins are really good to invest at or not worth to invest. So, consider a lot of things, like the ability of the founder, the development of the platform, are the team also invested their own money in their project and many things that we should be careful about.

For me even if you are on the 40th floor if your product is really profitable and will help me in the day to day activities I will go to buy your product. It's the same with choosing coins that have real use cases that help crypto world to develop, and also unique products that will help you make a good profit in the future.

Well coinmarketcap is a prime tool for tracking hundreds of cryptocurrencies to know its current price but then there's a gap with its time pricing, I'm not just sure how long it is. Investing on a coin seems to be harder these days as the market behaves so unpredictable due to large numbers of investor and traders now. It will not take you to a half or a 100th coin in the market , there are already coins that is worth to invest in the top10 or 20s.

It will be difficult to try to invest in new projects nowadays because fifty percent of these new projects are scams? While the other fifty percent is unsuccessful due to not reaching the soft and hardcap of the project, that is why it will be worth for investment if you just invest the half of your money to bitcoin and the other half is to try to invest in top altcoins in the market like ETH, XRP, BNB, BCH, LTC, etc because you will definitely get or earned a good profit.

Before investing with some coin I am looking for how long their coin sale take time, I never invest with ICO project on pre ICO because have waiting too long to get back our money if their ICO not failed on the middle way, best opportunities investing at the end of ICO project although without get bonus I think not have to wait for long time until coin can sell on exchange market.

Why mind investing in ICO which has an uncertain future if there are already existing stable coins in the market? For me, ICOs are no longer profitable plus the risk you will take upon this is not worth of your money and time ~ change my mind.

So for my answer on this question, the thing which I look at before I invest on a certain coin is its stability, reputation and most importantly, price of course. For this reason, I only stick to btc and alts like xrp, bch and eth.

For me when going to invest in cryptocurrency there are a number of things that need to be considered. We must really
carefully consider profit that we will make, then the amount of capital we have is also one important factor to be considered
how much coins that we will buy. Do not get up to a little capital we buy a lot of coins, this will not be effective. The last
consideration also how long we will invest in these coins. We must really do careful planning. In order not to experience losses
when investing in cryptocurrency.

the best thing to minimize risk now is to choose coins that have already been traded, especially coins that are very popular such as bitcoin and ethereum.  however, to choose altcoin, I always see the potential that exists, for example, I compare prices at the beginning of the year and now, if the price goes up I will consider that.  but, if it doesn't have a price increase, I don't put it in the list of coins that I will hold.  this only applies to popular altcoin

I think there are many things to consider before we invest in an ICO project. first of course we have to look at whitepapers, technology and coin platforms. then we see the development team then the trading volume and liquidity. how much profit we want to achieve and how much capital we will use to buy coins.
if an op is new to the crypto market it is better to invest in old coins like bitcoin, litecoin and binance. I think this will be safer than investing in an ICO project that is very risky.

There is no formula , what we have is the previous chart , how it was and how it can be , we have the news , the reviews , the blogs written by famous people who really are into this business .
I think even though a coin rose in the previous year it doesn't gaurentee it's rise in the future too , there are numerous coins out there which went up once and then they just died like anything.
Therefore I would say it's a completely personal decision , a decision that you have to make for yourself.

I am not looking with whitepaper, technology adopting by project but looking for how much their coin sold during ICO open to public, if pass one week without raise soft cap I think retired and never joined for investing with this ICO, I think most important whit how much coin sold before I invest with some altcoin or ICO project because without interested by investor I can't trust with ICOs.

The whitepaper is just one tool of decoration, most of the team were just paying for a whitepaper, so I really don't believe in it at all. Just using this as a guide if ever they can be able to achieve it or is that they know what's really written in the whitepaper. So for me, this is not the basis but how they keep their words and promises.

Yes, it is very important for us to use worthy coin and before investing our money we should see if the coin is good or not. We should check the potential and past of that coin. For making an investment it’s important to choose well-trusted coin only and work while you have money. A coin must have a strong future and it must have a good number of investors.

Oh so you are just participating in an ICO just so you could just sell it right away if the price had exceeded the price you had brought it. Isn’t what commonly happens is that it would not immediately exceed it but most of the time it won’t also without the bonuses that you get when you purchase earlier on then your chances of getting back your investment would be very slim if you think about it so I don’t think that your way is very effective though if you think about it there’s a high chance that the project would proceed since you can inspect whether the ICO is successful or not.

choose coins that have a real product and are needed by many people, so that the coins will last a long time and always expand. therefore do not be mistaken to analyze, so that our funds are not lost. the easiest is to choose coins at the top, where the quality has been tested, making it safe for long-term investment

For me I look at their transparency first so I can see that they are willing to go into prison in case their project becomes a scam later.

And of course one of the things I look at before investing is whether their product is unique and whether their marketing strategy really influences them to attract investors.

Initially, you need to carefully consider the project itself, because only its real demand in society can attract more investors and become a very profitable investment.  To date, there are a lot of projects on the cryptocurrency market that have not implemented even half of what the team announced.  It should be borne in mind that no one is returning investor funds either, because everyone is talking about the poor state of the market and future prospects.  It is very difficult to say something about whether it will be possible to hold developers accountable in case of failure, because you still need to have evidence to accuse them of fraud.

There is no way to be sure that the investment will bring value to users because look at the reviews for the previous IEO, ICO. They all look good and have apps, but they're all garbage now. Currently our market is being manipulated in an uncontrolled way so let's stop thinking of finding a perfect crypto to invest because the meaning of the standards is relative.

yes off course the topmost coin is always very good to invest in it, and that coins are very trusted because a lot of people have invested in it and that is why they are at the top. And I think the most important is the self research about the coin and also one should check the reviews of people about the coin in which he is intending to invest.

With the news about the fake volume listing of some exchange site and the previous fake data which the capital market was accused of a couple of years back, you're still among those that still believe every listed on the top 10 or 20 to be invested/supported by a lot of people?
You need to be more careful.


Self-research is still better but people reviews about coins can be misleading.

There are many things for you to consider before joining or investing in a particular campaign or project. The first thing you must do is to study the project itself and gain every information you needed for you to trust that particular project, you can actually get that information in their whitepaper wherein almost all of their plans are stated there. You can also look at the other, what I mean is that look also for the reviews of other investors if that particular project is really legit and can be a source of profit. You can also check their website and look for the team. Especially the managers who run the project.

Yeah I know :D, I know that every single coin in the market is naturally volatile, what I actually mean in the word "stability" is that bitcoin got more stable price rate compare to new tokens which are greatly manipulated by the whales who hoard during its ICO. In simple words, btc is more stable than those Pump&Dump coins. I hope you now get what I mean.

I will look at the problem that ICO is trying to solve. Most ICOs are just making up problems that don't exist in the first place and their so-called solutions are also not working lol. Avoid ICOs or any other token selling at all costs. Look how many ICOs team are gone after fundraising. It's all a scam.

If you want to invest in crypto, choose Bitcoin instead.

All are available and give good opinions to consider before investing in coins or projects, and smart investors will learn to trust your own instincts and if it looks like a risky and doubtful investment will definitely leave it.
You must position yourself to achieve success and determine your own determination, so you must be a smart investor to avoid fraud.

I want to add to all of the above that it is important to understand that even after calculating all the risks, you can still lose your money, so do not invest all your money, be prudent, and then everything will be fine!

There are too many deciding factors to take in consideration when one is doing any kind of due diligence. I at least from experience can say one thing. Now I don't trust FUD or FOMO for any project and also what goes on in telegram groups, unless it comes form official announcements form the project Teams themselves. I like to see how well the Team communicate with their investors, how much capital the team itself is willing to put up at the start of their project, if the project has a product or service that is solving a much needed problem, if the community behind the project is a solid and serious one and lastly, are they innovative enough to be ahead of the curve and the competition. These are the kind of things I will look for if I am investing in any sort of start up. We have to be vigilant and not lazy when we are doing our research, that's for sure.

Nothing is risk free and being in crypto it is highly risky and we have seen in years how the market rises and falls and at times you may not evn recover your losses just like btc fallen from 20k and now at 7300$. So invest only extra money which you can afford to lose and also in good coins only which can recover too in long term.

That is true. Just invest the money that you do not care about. I have a strategy for my long term investing that if I invest some of my money, I just think that it is already gone or I lost it already so I will not have any expectation from my investments and I will just check it after 6 months to a year to see the progress of my chosen investment.

Before investing in a coin,  we should know clearly the background of the coin, especially for new coins..  it would be nice if discussing first with other crypto-enthusiasts,  usually they will give us some advice.  But I personally prefer investing in popular coins like bitcoin and ethereum compared to new coins.

actually it's good enough to take advantage of new coins, like IEO. You can invest in the beginning, usually, the price is cheaper and when start trading, the price is usually pumping 2x, but it all depends on the market. at least you chose a new IEO in binance. the rest is better to choose investments in popular coins or in the top 10 coinmarketcaps.

investing in an ICO or any other unknown project is a high risk investment
you can try and guesstimate the potential based on the team , whitepaper and the concept but it is 50/50 - it is either going to bring you some profit or fail dramatically and bury your coins
actually , around 80% of the ICO and similar projects are unsuccessful or a blatant scam
if you are new to the market , do not try to find the next BTC or ETH  project ( in terms of success and capitalisation )
try to go for low risk , low reward coins and projects that yield steady income , doesn't matter if it is low
if you feel risky , invest tiny sums into several promising high risk projects , if any of it does x10 in the future, you will return your investment
in my experience , it is better to hodl a basket of crypto , for example BTC , LTC , ETH and XRP
this sort of investment should see you better returns in the long run than participating in any high risk projects

In any case, it is very difficult to determine the prospects of a particular coin yourself in order to make a choice for a profitable investment.  You need to constantly study the information and tips of other cryptocurrency users.  But you also need to pay attention to the idea of ​​the project itself and its prospects in the future, because only the most popular project in society will have all chances for practical use, and this increases the chances of good coin pricing in the future.

It is very difficult for us to successfully invest in binance projects. I have joined 4 IEO but successfully registered only one project. And binance's IEO projects are no longer so good, prices drop too much after being listed. Now I am no longer interested in investing in new projects, they do not keep their promises about products and prices. Now just investing in the top 10 projects in coinmarketcap is enough, investing in new projects will now cost us time and money

Joining Binance IEO doesn't really guarantee at all that you are investing at the right project, still you need to do the usual thing and that is what is their project all about, what are their mission/vision, is it feasible or their project will be to  hard to do what their target is, one thing that Binance guarantee is that they are not doing IEO for scam project,but assurance that we will earn, it is not guaranteed.

Probably would go with the professionalism of the team, how they treat the community by answering ther questions and answering those inquiries where everyday people are curious about those stuff and you can definitely measure are those projects even worth to invest by looking at the team first.

If you will be joining IEOs with Binance then you should remember that just invest for quick profits do not stay for long term investing. Binance IEOs are just for quick profit trades and most of the projects that are listed there are useless or like what would other say, a shitcoin. Be smart in considering a coin, look at the progress of the coin if it is really attractive.

Reviewing the people behind the project is good idea because you will identify if the project is legit or not. I also consider thr volatility amd the value of the coin before investing. I keep staying away to the coins that have high volatility. The potential coins in the market are the coins that have high volume. Those coins that have low volume are eorthless and I blocking it to my watchlists.

Yes, all these things are important to be a part of the coin. The coin we want to invest in our money should be pretentious and it must have a high number of investors. We should invest in a well known coin and as much I know it’s only Bitcoin that people love the most. Bitcoin and ETH are two coins we can get all qualities that a good coin should have.

Yes you are right that investing in popular coin are safer this days but does not have that high percentage to gave us a higher profit if our investment is not that huge. investing in new coins is at high risk but if we are aware on that we can make a full research on our own and wait for the moment that the coin make its own shine and show us or prove to us that its worth and we can trust it.

You must consider first the risk when investing into anything. What you must do is make a research ,do everything for to know more about that coin to lessen the risk.

Investments are needed to make continuous investments. But it is more important to prepare psychology. People are always thinking about making money. But they don't investigate how. What is Bitcoin? The offer of my friends who want to learn this .. How much I have to give you. It's not like that. I say you must investigate yourself. They're very fraudulent.

Low risk and low profit are for popular coins, but if you want to consider the high risk, high reward, you should probably invest in new coins. Research about the coin and every bit of its background and you will be good to go. New coins can pump and go to the moon just like any other coins if the team is responsible and want to coin to be successful. Simple as that, if you want high risk, high reward type of investment, then invest in a new coin.

I completely agree about the risks. This is probably the most important thing. And the ability to understand risks can also help generally in any area of life.

Yes, the low cap coins and the newly released coins are most likely to go up to x10 from its original price. One of the thing that you can consider before jumping into a low cap coin is the hype. You should determine first if there is a hype behind that coin because the hype will help you to reach your goal faster because it means there is a demand for the coin that you are about to invest in.

In investing in cryptocurrency better to know, you must ready your almost ten dollars for your investment. Still, sometimes some websites support the newbie traders they make a demo trading system to introduce how does trading works. In trading you must have a lot of knowledge and learnings because this is the key to success all of your trading, there are a lot of sources on the internet today how that gives tips from the other traders. One of the good sources also asks other people who already have a lot of experience in trading. Next is make sure you know what coin is suited for your trading because most of the time this is the problem of the beginners in trading they are investing a lot of money to the coins that are for long term trading. Lastly is always think positive in your trading, trading is full of risk and profit so if you doubt your trading you will lose your money, if you trust your self it can give you a lot of profit.

Risk is there in every business and we can reduce it simply by making vigilant decisions simply by doing our home worked completely before investing. The project we are choosing, we shall simply understand the teams who are governing them and it would be great if we have reviews of their former or current investors. These things save you a lot from losses. In crypto, invest only in popular coins.

Before investing in any money you need to note a few things:
- Focus on the research: "Never invest in what you don't know" is the best advice from angel investor Warren Bufet. When not digging into what you're about to invest, it's best not to go down.
_ Initially participating should invest a small amount.
- Join prestigious and quality social networking sites in the field of investment.
- There are many cryptocurrencies to choose from, not just Bitcoin.

Do not invest something you do not know can avoid to huge losses. Do not rely on people sentiment because they are also victim of ignorance. Just trust yourself in making investment and do not follow advice and tips. Research is the best key in order to find a worth it coins to buy and also it is better and safe if we are going to buy listed coin in an exchange than to participate in IEOs and ICOs.

If you think that you wanted to invest then choose the most profitable coin like bitcoin it’s worth investing. You should check either the coin is having potential or not and if there are so many of that coin. Instead of all those coins, I think we should choose only Bitcoin and ETH to buy with our money and store longer so you will be able to sell it double after a few years.

self-confidence is indeed the main key before deciding to be able to invest in several projects, because not necessarily the advice of others is always accurate and trustworthy, they may also be victims of a lack of conscience to choose a project. and the most important thing to consider before investing in a new coin to be launched is having the courage to bear all the risks and being confident of the project you will choose

Yes we need to choose among all those thousands of coins in the market to where we could spend our money or to where we would invest it. We need an active company, active team members of the coin developer, and also we should consider also that they always updating us in what does their team are doin in order for them to stay in the market.

Knowing market condition is the most important aspect before investing in any coin. You should also look at the btc-altcoins relationship. It is really vital. You just have noticed that when btc goes up/down, there is always a reaction in altcoin market. So beside looking at fundamental analysis of a coin, checking the present market scenario is really vital.

Right now as market has bounced of from a strong support, altcoins are expected to gain up or follow btc if it crosses $7500. You can also trade altcoins in usdt instead of btc for less risky trades.

completely research will give us best result. its not easy to pick best portofolio from market when almost all price still go down. some projects have low price, but it could not guarantee us will give profits later. if we regularly and dicipline making research , our felling will trained well too. and we will easily to find good portofolio from market.

Doing only research will not do any good for you for long term because there are biased articles and information in the internet that will make you think that it is a good trick to invest in that coin. It doesn't mean that doing research is not a good idea, what I mean is, you should not purely rely on research and also try other methods to obtain a higher successful rate of investing.

to invest there are indeed many things to consider, one of which is you have to decide what coins you want to make investments and how the movement of the coins in the market will be profitable or not and it's all up to you whether you believe in the coins

We all known that trading is very complex; basic knowledge is not enough when you already start trading in the real world. Trading is consist of a lot of players with have different knowledge and skills that can be used to their daily or for long term trading. Some traders made their very own research to gain more information to their desired trading and what are those advantages can use to win their trades. Some of them are asking people who are already trading a lot of money because by gathering data and gaining a lot of experience can be used. In trading we must also consider the type of coin we will use to start trading and investment, this is important to know if do we gain profit on this or not, to be aware and not wasting our time in trading that we cannot earn any money thus can lose of income. Always think positive and trust our decision in trading and won't regret if we already do the action because in life, it has full of risk like in trading too.

yes people just don't understand with the risks. they don't care about this and think that risks are something that you shouldn't take care about, which is why most of people are always crying at the end because of the inability to maintain the risks

I think due to my experience in crypto investment,
 Purchasing coins that are advertised with no generous improvement in tech is risky.
Considering the venture capital is necessary to ensure liquidity, and continuity of the asset.

Participating here in the crypto world means taking risk before getting reward and earning a lot of profit from one's effort. Being both careful and risk-taker is indeed needed when investing in a coin, gathering information about the coin you would invest to is required to avoid loss. Having back- up strategy and calculated risk for your every move is great and needed to be successful in this industry.

There are lot to consider when investing on crypto. I will state some of them with my previous experience on the this kind of market. First of all if you have to know all the basic stuffs in cryptocurrencies, because without this you would just go follow random coins blindly and it can lead you to certain unacceptable outcomes. Now, lets go to your health, of course you should be physically and most of all mentally fit, because some failures will be waiting for you ahead and if could not take it then it could lead you to depression and worst is make you crazy or sometimes death (Suicide or being killed for your PK). Another is of course the money, this is the main thing you need because if don't then couldn't invest on coins that you want unless you take some free coins that are most of the time worthless (Airdropped Coins). If some you have the money then I will strongly suggest that you go first with the coins that are already hot on the market with huge market capitalization and stuffs that supports it being alive until today, it can give you useful experience if you are planning to invest on new ones. There are lots of things that I could share but maybe others would help out to so I am giving chances here, well again this base on my experiences out here.

Legitimacy of a project is really hard to know, especially that most projects can be promising at the beginning or in their whitepapers but still ends up to be a scam and trash. It is really necessary to make your own research about a project - the people behind it, how well the project is to be useful and successful in the future and how many participants participate in the said project.

Investing any coin or ICO project make sure to read the whiter paper of the project and learn about the vision,idea and road map of the coin or project.Verify the facts and figures either based on reality or just paper work.

Professional competitive team behind the coin take it for long run because they make developments according to the need of users and capture new investors and when the demand of any coin increase the price of coin also rise which beneficial for the existing investors.

By reading the white paper you rarely make any idea about the project. Some of the fake project of course can be detected by reading the white paper. But there are lots of projects with promising white paper but with no profit.

Before investing in a coin you need to consider if the team behind the project has a good reputation, but most importantly the team/project should be willing to solve a real problem.

An important thing to check is that the team are having regular updates and are working full time, there were so many projects that were made quick and abandoned later with zero support!

You must look for the coins potential if it will be able to sustain its needs for a long time. Also check the backgrouns of the developers if they have been part of some successful project for you to check if they are legit or scam. Also check the current market movement if the value of it is good to invest to or not.

Also consider the current trend of the market, do not go for Altcoins make your investments with Bitcoin because it is more stable and trustworthy in crypto market. Before investing have a full command over the knowledge of market, its working and the most adopted strategies. Choose the way that best suits you, you can also take guide from other successful investors.

From all that we also need to examine the project more deeply, because projects with reliable development of real products that are owned, then of course it will add higher value to the project to be able to work for the long term. Any coin has a specific project and purpose so we must consider it even better to invest so that we can avoid scam projects, even though it is difficult to obtain but we have made every effort possible for the good end.

Planning and doing as much as research as possible. This articles lists some good sites to research before investing.

Well, it is subjective, but you should see their ico promises, their team behind the coin and their charts and other such stuffs to see how well they are performing under the market pressure, don't just invest in fear of missing out and never invest in a coin which is getting heavily pumped, you have to do a thorough research by taking your time out for it.

Thorough research and deeply understand the motive of those developers from developing the project. There's no assurance inside this market
but you can lessen the chances of mistake if you will do your homework. Before picking anything from those assets make sure to analyze and
observe every behaviors coming from both developers and supporters keep reading news regarding to the project especially those progress that
they've providing.

Indeed a strong community is also a big thing to be consider when choosing what coin to invest to because they will have a big role in spreading the knowledge about the coin they're supporting. Yes doing some research is good so that you will get to know yourself if that coin will be worth your money but you can also consider asking tips from the crypto community about what coim to invest.

Well, checking the people or names behind those projects are the first or the investors should prioritize. That is the most important before you look on how promising the project is. Read the whitepaper, there are a lot of ways to determine if a project is legit or not but there are some that is hard to identify.

Although we can check the people behind the project, I believe this test is just a small piece of information, it is not entirely possible to know clearly whether the people behind this are real or fake, even the whitepaper is similar, plagiarism and sophisticated counterfeiting cases are often visible, that makes me unable to believe in these factors when considering a project. I believe in more professional people, hunters are constantly looking for fake projects to alert, they have the software and tools to identify the project correctly

If you are a newcomer to this market and you do not have enough experience to choose an investment project, it is best to join Ieo on exchanges, because Ieo is also a method of raising capital. and the quality of the project will always be checked by exchanges before ieo, so it is safe to invest, and should only join ieo on okex, gate, binance, kucoin, huobi is the best, always bring profit

ICO markets has pretty much vanished these days because of the sheer amount of scams and laundering these ICOs did to investors, but as the old saying goes, the riskier, the sweeter :) so, yeah, it's risky, it's like zero game play, you keep so much or you lose it all, but it totally depends on your luck ;)

I think you can consider that search first the projects before you invest many ICO's now are getting scam that is why many investor are afraid to invest. So think and search first the project before you gonna invest but you also consider that once you invest you take the risk.

I've been convinced many times that before doing something, especially if it's related to finances, you need to study the topic well and calculate all the risks well. It is also very important to make any transactions without emotions, because they have no place when it comes to investing or speculating.

Before investing we'd like to research about different places. Investing on one hand, is simply as risky because it is straightforward Before investing during a currency where do you have to invest within the market situation how reliable is that the currency being invested whether it'll be worthwhile within the future then you ought to invest in it Investing during a new place is risky.

Researching about the projects is really the first thing that you should do before investing your money because there are chances that you no one really know about it, so it is probably a scam or a fraud. Asking questions to other people or experts is also helpful because they have more experienced when it comes investing in a coin.

just researching now, is not enough to see whether the project you are investing is worthy or not, many fraud projects, are now smart at looking for loopholes, I think, if there is a third party who will help us in choosing IEO or ICO it seems like a good thing

So many ICOs have mushroomed. It's so hard to choose good one. Some project are good at first but in the end they don't have good improvement or their tokens become dead that's why you need to take a risk before you earn good profit. There are no certain criteria.
