As the subject goes, what could be the main factor?


Famous developer, Media reputation, MM... or Just technology itself?


So far, it seemed that marketing and market marking were the main factors...


Btw, has anyone experienced BISPEX exchange known as its insurance funding?

Popularity always follows tech and not the other way around, at least if you prefer an organic growth of an altcoin.

That should be the tech and after that, the popularity will support the tech to get more adoption. Basically, there is no main factor because they are all important and they have been correlating from one to each other.
If the developer has a good tech and platform and it can bring the popularity caused by people will know if the developer is really competence to develop a platform and then after the platform gained the popularity and then it will be starting to get mass adoption as when you have a user that says your platform is good or really good and then he will tell others about that and that's how the popularity bring mass adoption.

Technology for me is a huge factor, they can do all the marketing they want but it will just die down because it offers nothing for the community to use, that was the case of some Ponzi scheme here, they are hype by marketing but in the end they up nothing because they cannot show anything to investors for long term.

Not the actual usage of the technology but rather the hype that comes with it. Most of the time it's the announcement of the new tech that drives the price up instead of the actual effect of the new tech.

This isn't healthy of course and I still see most of alts are just a tool for speculators to gamble. Maybe not that bad though because I think the same thing does happen in stock market too. I think it's just how humans work.

It seems like these two factors are important for every Altcoin to determine their quality in the crypto market. altcoin which has any sophisticated technology would not be meaningless without the popularity in the eyes of the public, and vice versa, the high popularity of altcoin will not last long, because it requires technology that is the reason for the popularity itself. an example is Ethereum, it has smart contract technology. this technology made Ethereum gain popularity in the eyes of the public.

marketing and funding are also usually influential for example they hire bounty hunters to work with them introducing their project to everyone on the internet through blog posts, videos and also social media, it can also encourage projects to gain popularity and bring investors to the project too, when they are listed on the exchange then encourage many traders to also buy it, this method has always been there to push the price of altcoin, but many new altcoins that come with not the slightest capital but want to be popular, you can find it a lot, reputation is also usually at stake if there are people who known to be the founder of the project, but if the value of altcoin rises more than 100% like BSV I feel it is not natural like a pump it will not have popularity and avoid it

How much their reputation matters when it comes to the the valuation of any cryptocurrencies that is why Bitcoin is most expensive trip to at the moment. Altcoins have more value when they get more exposure show even if it is very unique project it needs lot of advertisement on different platforms to get investors only from the investors the coin get value when it listed on exchanges.

All things that come to your mind will boost altcoin value, including bitcoin. You can say about popularity, adoption, social media, the technology behind the project, or even the famous developer can help altcoin to reach more people to invest their money in every project that they thaught will increase the value in the future.

But maybe we need to spreads to other people in out there so the mass adoption will boost the altcoin and bitcoin, and now, the process has already started. Maybe it won't need to wait too long to see many people will come to the crypto world and invest in many coins because if they interest in the project, they will search for more information about that.

The main factor is the technology that continues to be modern so that development continues to increase to push altcoin into popularity and many made by their various platforms for different education so that it can be a major factor.
In the future Altcoin will have a good reputation and many benefits for the people to use it.

everything lies on the basis of expansion from the initial community, technology was the first to be discussed and communicated. after developing large and has passed the offer period, the public welcomes it from the emerging popularity, the public will understand the figure of the developer concerned first, and this is where technology becomes something they learn afterwards.

Exactly. Popularity of altcoins should be more than technology. Some altcoins are living with hype even how shit they are particularly those new coins/tokens. Don't be surprised then.

Hence, only one coin can be this both, no other than bitcoin.

In fact all factors are important. If the technology and the product are good then in any case there will be popularity but here marketing very often disguises crappy projects.

It has the potential to boost the value of altcoins when it has a huge contribution to the crypto currency world! Especially those alts that have use case that can help investor on thier daily transaction.
Altcoins that only boost prices because of the support of popular personalities will also drop prices in the long run and eventually become shitcoins at the end.

I think both will surely pumps an altcoin value but what mostly investors need is popularity or what they called hype. Technology is very important thing but the real problem is who will be using it. That comes the partnerships / marketing, if they got huge partnerships then it will be the one to trigger the altcoins value.

Technology does not speak for itself unless it is promoted and advertised.  In short, it is the popularity and level of acceptance or adoption that boosts altcoin value.   No one cares about technology if it is unknown or unheard.

People tends to go more with popularity because if a crypto is popular then that means more users are into it then tech follows afterwards.

When the coin has features or technology that is modern and very useful later, I believe that it will be a major factor that can drive its popularity which can then attract many people to invest in it. And I think for the time being, people will choose projects that have features or products that are good and useful in the future, although it can be said that for the moment many projects are made just to attract investors and get personal benefits without real development, but if there is a project that has a product and will continue to develop its technology I think investors will be more interested.

In the world of crypto the main factors are well-known developers and what technology will be developed, because in the presence of these two things will give birth to a good reputation when done marketing.

I think both that you mention in your thread title "Popularity and Tech" are beneficial to any Altcoins, because popularity will create hype and many will invest and follow that's for sure, second the technology was also set an important role to the said boost of altcoin price and value. since the technology was the core and acting like a primary function and capability to deliver its promise about the product and services they offer.

If we're talking about altcoin, it will be tchnology first before popularity. It's the technology that boosts the popularity of altcoins. And when altcoins gain more popular, it leads to a pump with altcoin's price. It's the technology that helps altcoin to receive attention because of the advancement and innovation. Because if not for technology, why do you think altcoin will get popular?

New technologies and new innovations to the public will certainly follow popularity, and a vision / mission that matches what is needed in the future, so even though the project is currently in the development stage but the potential is enormous for the future. Without marketing and promotion it is very difficult for a project to get its community, the strategy of each project is certainly different. But projects that are built with unique and interesting concepts are definitely easier to popular.

Until now, the deciding factor in altcoin prices was marketing. If the project has a great marketing way, then surely they will receive a lot of attention from the community and investors. Then if they list at the exchange, the price will certainly be pumped up a lot. Since I entered this market, I have not seen any successful altcoin projects with the products created. Most altcoins are useless and will die after 1-2 years of operation

Now the promotion, worthiness of the project, the development team, funding, the product, and more other factors make the altcoin value as well its popularity. Earlier it was the key people who endorse the project makes the project more popular. This way more altcoins went as a scam. However without tech the growth isn't possible, this way popularizing happened through leading personalities of cryptospce and growth based on the technology.

Yes, that is the main factor now. I don't see anyone investing in technology, it's all a lie of their feelings when they know they're investing in the wrong alts. Let's be realistic, we are struggling with the sharks to buy alts for a good price and sell it at a high price. There is no other technology that can dominate this market, because cryptos are basically not used much in real life. So no matter how good the technology is, it doesn't have much effect on the price. Fomo and marketing are the most popular. Welcome to the world of manipulation.

Popularity need proof and technology can give it. First step is technology development without that developer doesn't have reason to built popularity, depend on what?. This day altcoin is more like industry. need big money at the first and will collect result at the last. If developer built popularity first we can say they make " shit coin " and developer only get bad reputation. Make plan is not easy but innovative and creative is really needed, technology first than popularity, that's the plan.

It technically is a mix of both of those factors that an altcoin prevails or not. Most of the time there are altcoins with good technology, but fail otherwise because of low publicity. On the other hand, there are dying altcoins in the market even if they are well-known ones because of the lack of development. So it's really both of these factors that decide whether an altcoin rises or not.

Or the technology of the project is great but it has no practical use in our day to day living. so it doesn't attract attention from the community. sometimes, the developer should look into practicality of things where even the masses can utilize the product or app. because without its patrons or users, the project will not earn and so it will die sooner. so for me, technology with wide scope of usage and coverage.

actually everything is important between popularity and technique. but in the crypto market, popularias are preferred to attract investors and traders alike. because technique alone will not be enough, with the development of advanced technology but does not have a popular media platform. because the important thing to make a token or coin has a high liquidity is the popularity of the coin so that at the beginning of the listing can get a high volume.

Hype maybe, because for some ICOs that "reach hardcap" i am not say success because success or not is when it listed and can get more than ICO price and be stable after it. But, hype really attract people because some ICO that i see do that thing. Promise a lot at first but nothing good after sales end.

Wow, this guy is really something else.
He creates threads and then just leave it hanging there.
You should also try to visit them and see if there are questions asked for you so that the answers will be all clear.
Something like this one here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219412.msg53661836#msg53661836

Anyways, marketing is a big part of the sweet pie. Features also matters, of course you will need something to boast with so that buyers will join and maybe try to buy at higher numbers.
Famous developer? Nah. Media reputation? Hmm.. a little bit. Social media is a lot of help though.

There is no easy way to know that, especially in this current market. If the price doesn't move naturally, it will be a bit hard for It to be affected by real demand and supply... that is, demand and supply based on technology, usefulness, uniqueness, real crypto principles etc

I think if you build a useful, safe and real crypto project, attracting users via any means like marketing won't be that difficult.

Your promotion needs to be totally honest. No deceitful promotion like it's safe, fast, decentralized, censorship resistant, immutable, etc when it's not. People need something unique and useful

Between the two, I'd choose Popularity over Technology.

I will share my opinion with this. Even though the technology of the project is one of a kind (the best of the best) if the investors doesn't know it, it will be a useless project. Who will give funds to this project if they don't know it? This is where the marketing team goes into the action. If the marketing team is good, the popularity of the altcoin will boost and the investors will have knowledge to it. If a project has a good technology and at the same time popular to the investors, the project will be a successful one as long as they doesn't scam the investors or will not do anything that can give bad reputation to them.

It depends on both, both can be boost altcoin because how can a number of people boost bitcoin if they didn't have any technology. Also how can technology run in altcoin if they haven't any people who agreed on altcoin so both may have affected on altcoins.

Developers popularity may affect the users at first I think since they might be excited what kind of coin they created but for a long term factor that boosts the the value of a certain coin I think it's about the project itself because no matter who the developer is as long as they created a wonderful project many investor will buy the coin and will boost it's value.

However, we are in a cryptocurrency industry where in we are dealing with decentralized exchanges user itself will set the value for a certain coin through trading.

In my opinion, popularity is the most effective to boost the value of altcoin simply because of no matter how efficient and good the technology is if there is no there's no amount of users it will be all nothing just take Bitcoin for an example, there's a lot of alts who has better security and better speed but still, Bitcoin have the leads upon them. Next is media reputation, I know that media reputation is a big factor to increase the popularity of one coin but for some reason, though Bitcoin in some places has negative reputation it still got the top position probably because of the popularity. Basically, what I am implying is that these days popularity is a key factor in order to manipulate indirectly the value of any coin in this crypto space.

Probably marketing would still take the number one spot because no matter how awesome your coin could be, without marketing you have no chance to get to be known by other people. However after the ICO stage and it has been few years since your coin is on the market, you know people like it or not, if people do like it they end up buying it all the time and keep talking about it and it would be popular, if people stop caring about it and sell it the price would go down and it would be forgotten a long time ago.

So technology is important, where you can use it is even more important, but these are what you care only after the first year or so, first year only marketing is quite enough to get as many people involved as you can. I would only care about where you can use it probably more than any other tho.

The more of these factors in the project, the longer the project survives. But the most important factor is surely tech. The strong technology develops other factors with itself. Popularity affects the project's liquidity in the early days, but when technology is weak, the project won't go too far.

popularity without a doubt, however if the tech behind is good, it's not gonna create a classic "pump and dump", but rather stay and keep it's value.

Some projects focus more on tech than it's popularity, which is a good indicator of a project that's undervalued. Take a look at Blocknet for instance.

First mover on DEX developments, listed on decent exchanges, builds decentralized oracles through their XRouter and XBridge services.

As a node owner you can earn:

Block Rewards
DEX trading fees
Oracle Service fees

It seems as a few people realized the passive income potential of this project a few weeks ago, as it has performed amazingly well recently.

Tech is everything, a lot of alts will die out even more than they are today, I'm sure.

Both technology and marketing are very important because even with great technology, if the product is not well marketed, nobody will get to know about it. To me marketing will give popularity and hence boost the value when more and more people pick interest in the project. For instance, some coins actually soared high in price during altcoin season because of product hype by YouTube influencers, hence you can get a clearer picture of what I mean.

Based on what I see for some altcoin project in the market the price can be increase by popularity but first its need a good project concept or a good technology inside then next step is the marketing strategy tobe know or popular in the crypto world means both are good for alts project.

popularity and usability value of tokens with platforms. when their community is strong and supported by real products that are growing and useful it will get high demand from the market. many new platforms with new concepts that do require a long time to be able to get it.

For me, Just balance 50% on Popularity and 50% on Technology, Why? Because I see so many projects that have potential ending up a failure because their marketing is not good, the team is not showing on social media and blockchain conferences. Investors want to see an active project to minimize the risk of being scammed. But at the end of the day, the uniqueness and the technology of the project are very important and could lead the project to success with the support of the community.

Marketing and speculating are the only thing need to have a rally in all these coins and that is happening for a very long time and if that is not the case why we need multiple coins for the same purpose, some are solid coins with special features for privacy and security but there are ton of coins which serves the same purpose and hence in my opinion marketing and speculation is the one boosting the price.

For some stable coins, it is pretty much all these articles that you see in the internet. One of these would be Steemit that I saw most people insert a link when they're trying to share their thoughts about a particular coin.
It is a blockchain-based anyway so I am not surprised that many crypto hodlers would use that for their blogs, although it doesn't mean entirely that blockchain is all about cryptos.

Back in the crazy ICO era it was about shills and the famous ones that people got to know about but as many people have come to the realization that all these promoted coins tend to end up as shit coins things have changed. People are now more interested into the technology, the products released by the team and the future of the project before they buy into any cryptocurrencies.

I believe that a combination of these two factors is the key to the success of the coin.  It all depends on each individual project and the time when it enters the market.  Thus, the project can have very good performance during the general hype, while having rather weak technological characteristics, and vice versa.

Since we are inside the virtual world powered and made possible by the advent of the modern technology that keeps on developing and improving as time passes by, then for me aside from the promotion and marketing strategy which is common and must have by any project, I think the main key or the main factor that can boosts up an Altcoin price will be the technology itself because people are easily attracted into the latest technology that can make life easier and make daily situation more convenient than ever. So to attract people and raise the demand volume, it will be best to see what technology it can offer to boost the interest of the people that can make them decide on investing into that project. Then next will be the popularity because once people know about the technology they have, surely it will bring a lot of people that will raise its popularity. The combination of these two factors are relevant in boosting the price of a good project within the market.

Let us start from the basics, any altcoin that wants to have value must be popular, it doesn't need to be a famous developer, or media reputation, but a solid project.
During the days of sero, harmony, tokoin, PR advert did not make them popular and accepted nor did it make it increase in price.

Their solid project, functional and achievable was lauded and regarded by all with the knowledge of crypto currency, that is the best factor in the crypto space TECH.

Popularity does as it currently is. No one is really interested in the tech behind a project everyone looks forward to the profit they will make from such project. Of there are no profits to be made they move to the next project.

Of course, this is not a simple thing that can be solved with just one factor. The factors that OP mentioned, Famous developers, Media reputation, Just technology itself, each have an important role to form a wide network. If everything can be maximized, it will easily attract and form investor trusts, and this is very important for project development.That is what is happening right now, because what is prioritized is profit, and lack of patience to wait for the development of the project as a whole. But that can't be blamed either, however, everyone has their own goals and strategies.

They are both important but popularity is what matters most I think, so many altcoins was designed to carry many technology advantage for the reason of increasing their value in the market but still it all comes down to popularity because with popularity we get more capital from the people who want to use it, and majority of people that uses crypto seem to not care about the technology behind it. Many projects I've seen having pretty "ordinary" technology but could still make it to top 100.

Do you mean this exactly? Or did you only unintentionally turn it the other way around?

What I meant is that popularity is only a result of a brilliant technology. An altcoin gains value and popularity because it is offering something that is technologically innovative and useful. So popularity always follows technology and not the opposite.

Right now we see a lots of projects and those investors are doing like this, they are looking for good benefits and not interested for holding once they see profits they quickly sell out and look for another projects. Technical sides of project is not the main attraction from most day traders only people who are aiming for development and future usages of project will continue to support this kind of coin.

Technology is the main factor of all that, then the media that make altcoin become popular and even excessive hype. We realize that technology will not be able to change everything in a moment, now the problem here is that users always want instant things which will only encourage panic and fear for new users because after what they expect when there is hype is not in line with expectations.

I think the main factor is technology. Because all we know that altcoin already need innovation to make it's feature better and level up to have a great competition to bitcoin. If it's feature is already develop marketing problems and popularity is not a problem anymore because user and investor will make a good marketing for altcoin.

Currently, i think to boost altcoin value required lots of factors and they need to be combined at the right time depend on each altcoin, market status,... For example, technology is needed before boosting price, next marketing and price control are important, last depend much on making Fomo.

tech and popularity are very important for altcoin, but the coin price request is what should be important, yup team must do promotion, if only popularity and tech are focused without promotion then it's useless

Technology is the main factor. Only technology determines the real value of altcoins.

Based on my experienced on crypto the price will go high only when the crowd and the hype of the coins is high, it will create huge demands no matter how bad the project is because investors are just aiming for quick profits and don't care about a long term future. Sounds bad but this is the reality of crypto investors right now

True words. The promotion and advertisement is necessary for each commodity no matter if it is a coin in order to gain some demand so that the price could grow. No advertisement would never let peoples know about the altcoins so how could they buy it? Peoples needs to find more about the altcoins so that we could see higher prices in the coming markets.

Moreover, most people do readily accept the reality if they find most information from the advertisement and it also proves useful for them to invest in some profitable commodities so they get into it. This would actually grow the technology. Technology needs capital to get more advances and more futuristic.

Both works in Pari -pasu. We can't dispute the importance of Tech in growth and value of altcoins. Where there is Tech, boosts the popularity and value for a cryptocurrency.

Marketing only helps the project to be successful at the first stage, today marketing is very important for new projects. It can determine the success or failure of a project, and if the project wants to survive in this market for long, the project must have technology and products.

For the first time indeed marketing is an important thing and is very much needed for new projects that will develop the products they bring and marketing is useful for introducing and attracting many people to invest or participate in it but indeed after that project or product must have advantages or technology good to be able to continue to grow and succeed later.

These days people mostly prefer popular things because if anything has huge popularity graph then it's enough to trust on that thing so I think these days altcoins performance depends on its popularity however I always prefer technology first in altcoins because it's much necessary in my point of view.

Unknown technology is worthless.  Even though it is the most advance if no one noticed it nor knows it, there will be no one to buy it. I believe what we are talking about here is the value that is priced on the market  not the value that technology has.  Have you wonder why some brand of item is more valued even though it has a lower spec of technology compared to those higher technology?  Because of its popularity.

more precisely for assets with high trading or with graphic movements that suddenly move fast. of course, traders and investors will also be interested in such assets. because it shows an update and good performance from the developer.

There is a lot of different factors, but one of the important parts is useability.

Can the coin/token be used for anything, or is it just another coin to be mined or minted for no reason.
Is there a platform being made for it?
Will it be bound to some other asset to provide it with initial value?

Outstanding technology will be a strong point for the project to be successful.  And to create a project capable of success requires a talented leadership team.  But for cryptocurrencies, technology elements account for 90% to establish success.  Technology is the core and what drives the project.  Take a look at the top altcoins 30. They are good technology and long-term, stable technology.

Many factors influence, in my opinion each factor is interconnected both the technology used, the products to be delivered, the marketing carried out and also how they will develop the project. Each of these things is needed to be able to support the success of a project or the running of a project, each has its own role and function ranging from marketing, products to the technology used.

For me the best reason why the altcoins price is continuosly increasing is because of its popularity. Investors nowadays tend to check most all of the altcoins that is already existing and invest into it since they do not want to invest in the ICOS anymore. They try to check the ranks of altcoins in the market and invest into it. Once the coin is on the rank, for sure it will become popular and going to be trusted by investors.

Real altcoin value will increased because it's technology. Because people will see developer still active and the coin still developed. And with help from it's supporter, the altcoin price in market can get a lot of demands.

I think any altcoin needs popularity but the way to get a lot of popularity is having good and renewing tech!

For example a Altcoin announcement topic will gain huge popularity if lots of people see it has new properties or new tech previous coins didn't have at all.
And they are beneficial for the Crypto space of course, So I think popularity and tech or connected to eachother u can't really have one without the other.

Both of them. With Tech you get Popularity and with Popularity you get attention and with attention you get into the big games of players where the value starts to pair the tech size in order to bring the project to the true potential. Even if Tech seems more important , its useless to have it if no one needs it or no one knows about it or its simply hard to understand and to use and this will make investors go away.

Yes, there is only one more that can determine the true value of altcoin, namely the performance of the altcoin team, because if they only have sophisticated technology, while their workings are not organized, then their altcoin will also not have the true value.

Looking at how the entire crypto space is transforming, tech is one of the basic factors that boost the value of some altcoins. Once the  tech is something the world needs, the value of the crypto coin backing this tech becomes very valuable to the users of this tech. Popularity do not really have any significant influence on the market value of most altcoin coins. Ethereum is a good example of this.

I think it is tech that gets the initial interest and the hype builds up. People are emotional creatures and the crypto traders often pump or dump based on emotions. That is why I say it's about the hype that makes it popular. Look at scams too like bitconnect and similar. They offer some supposed fancy technology and then they create hype offering good returns and the people do the rest. Even when they create controversy it helps an alternative agenda.


Yep. Though often the value is based more on popularity than the tech.

It can be both actually. If the project has a great use of blockchain technology, it can attract a lot of investors. Some are indeed just popular only because the profit is good and realistic. Some projects that are theoritically useful but are not funded well because more people are really do attracted more to profit. It can only be both if the team that manages the project can find the right balance for it.

clearly popularity..
tech has a small effect on the altcoin value
but you can see by a coin if it'll be popular by its tech - if you see some important people show signs of interest now
they will be first adopted and make the coin popular later
i see it happenning with Zcash and Cardano

Those are extremely mandatory to boost the price. Famous developers could help the highest support to new project. Suppose Harmony has famous developers. I believe is project idea and plans, because good project can funds rise or by own funds can run to apply. Medium Ides can success by good developers team.

Marketing can't sustain the coin/token, usability and community are main factors in any coin/token's survival.

Those would remain the same factors. Marketing makes the altcoin gain more exposure and it than creates higher demand for the altcoin which would boost it's price. Market making would similarly grow the price for altcoins by expanding the demand.

Technology is behind the development of altcoin and it would always allow us to generate newer and advanced altcoins for the betterment of the community and it would keep on boosting the price for those. Cryptocurrency markets depend on the demand and supply factor as well know and it always derives the price for them above if the demand is higher. We could see the similar in the bull and bear markets.

Maybe nowadays there is a third one that nobody really talks about; utility. If the coin is amazing in technology but it can't be used anywhere at all, nobody really cares anymore. Look at cardano for example, it has one of the best technologies in the world yet they are not at the top 5, why? Because there is no reason to buy it.

Popularity matters a lot but remember Nano? It used to be called raiblocks and at one point there was a software that checked which coins was talked most on reddit and raiblocks was third behind bitcoin and ethereum during the 2017 peak times, what happened? It is now under 0.7 cents, pratically worths nothing. So long story short if you do not give people a reason to buy your coins aside from typical "buy low sell high" stuff, even with a good technology or a great popularity, you may end up low.

I think technology is the most important part of an altcoin, because with a good technology and good usage of the coin, the investors will start hyping up the coin and if they create enough buzz maybe a crypto journalist will gonna make an article about the coin, no need to spend money in marketing just let your investors do it.

Technology is very important because it will define the coin and how it will be used to solve a problem. But we need the popularity to really make it known. No matter how good the coin is, when it is not heard or no one supports it, the reputation will be as good as nothing. I think the two factor will boost the Altcoins's value and will be accepted and used to which it was designed. 

Without saying much, the Technology  behind every project is very important, that will boost the growth of the altcoin, if the technology  is poor, no matter the marketing strategy  used, it might grow for some time, but in the long run it will die, the tech behind every project is key. So good tech and marketing should go hand in hand

Popularity using extensive marketing can definitely attract community members and some investors. But it is for certain period if the project is not niche or technically sound.
Both marketing and technicality is important for any project but for sustainability, technically project should be top notch.

Yes, marketing and Funds that have been fulfilled are important factors that make the project's coin or product function well in the market, and there may still be some other factors that can influence altcoin prices to rise, especially demand in the market and trends from rising bitcoin prices.

technological development is the most important aspect. even if the project does not have strong marketing, but they are constantly developing, sooner or later, investors will pay attention to this project. and I believe that if the project team is as attentive to the development of technology as possible, this is very good and the project is really deserving of the attention of investors

In this way you can say that both works in parallel to boost the value of Altcoins. The whole crypto market is heavily influenced by the popularity it gain. As the more popular it become more people will invest, this would lead to the increase of prices and then results in benefits. This is one aspect of it now what leads to the popularity is the technology itself. The advanced and useful technology makes it popular and acceptable worldwide.

Popularity, technology and team, then the exchange they are listed and their social Media handling and updates. No one wants to see beautiful whitepapers without result. These days times are difficult because of many failed projects.

there were some coins that we can consider to have a great advantage to privacy and some decentralization but without the marketing of these projects they may not even be known to more people who could invest to them. GRIN seem to have a good technology but there isn't much marketing of the project which is why its not that known to people. there are however users shilling for the coins which we often think they own some stash.

Blocknet for example doesn't have marketing campaigns done but the number of users shilling for the project looks like its going to be pumped by its users that it can live on its own already. It doesn't really have to have a famous DEV but it would help for the marketing.

Marketing can but only for the short term, but when the community will be very solid and it can sustain the token for the long term. The tech also becomes the main factor to build a solid community. If marketing doesn't give any impact and why was the team doing so many marketing? It was caused by this is to attract more users to join the community.

Actually it can be both because technology and the popularity of the currency have a big role to the growth of altcoins value, technology can help mass population to easily adapt and use altcoins and that can make them use more of the altcoin and while the popularity of it will also help it to be included more in people's portfolio but if i have to pick one it will be tech because tech is the foundation of crypto because popularity will have lower chance of having people use a certain altcoin.

There are many factors that boosts the value of altcoins but mostly its all on the project team, many project have good aims but was ruined by the team, project partnership is another one to look out for, this shows how strong the project is

Altcoin value, popularity, acceptability and adoption is difficult to predict. Because I have seen shitcoins having market capitalization over $100 million and having millions of users (such as Dogecoin). But at the same time, I have seen technologically advanced coins such as Cardano, NEO and EOS going down in the market. So I would say that more than any other factor, it is pure speculation which is driving the prices. And it is not very surprising, because very few altcoins are used for purposes other than speculative investment.

Popularity doesnt boost the value of altcoins instead its all about what the project have to offer, the team popularity is a plus and most importantly the partnership of the project, once these have been dealt with the project will surely prevails

If that was the case, then cryptocurrencies such as Cardano and NEO would have ruled the cryptocurrency market and shitcoins such as DOGE would have died out completely. But as we are witnessing now, the promising projects such as IOTA and NEO have lost much of their value during 2019, and their long term potential seems to be near zero.

Popularity is not everything, because it is a domino effect that affects each other. A good team, certainly produces good innovations as well, with a strong product that will certainly attract the attention of investors and the market, this will make a broad network so that the development of the project is better. So it can not be concluded which is the most dominating, all factors influence each other and give a fairly crucial effect.
That is why in analyzing we must see it from many sides. Large communities do not guarantee that the project is successful, there must be further examined use cases, whether the progress is good or not.

To me both plays an important role to boost the altcoin value, few say popularity doesn't work I want to ask them then how about BTC??? Without popularity people will not jump on to invest blindly, popularity is the one which attracts a person to look into it. Apart from that a team which comes with a new characteristic features of crypto currency and its uses hit the market very soon.

In my own understanding, it is the technology within the project that comes first. Remember this space is a technology ground so investors need to see what new technology a project is bringing. After technology comes the developers, are they experienced, what have they developed over the years etc and if they are capable of handling the proposed project. Lastly is the media, this is where the marketing takes place to sell the idea to the world.

A lot of factors affect the growth of any altcoin, for example, technology, because if the technologies are original and very popular, the price of the altcoin will increase, marketing also affects the price of the altcoin, and manipulators can also start raising the price of any altcoin at any time.

They both work together. If there is no proper marketing for a project with good tech, it will seem as if nothing is existing and not so many investors might be attracted. Well-Done marketing brings in partners and investors. However, if you should do intense marketing without a good tech, even if it brings about a price increase, it will not last. Sometimes, you might even see its effect not lasting for more than 24 hours and sometimes lesser.
Also if you have a good tech for your project, there will be much confidence in talking the marketing to any length.

Blockchain is a technology right? So it makes sense to say that any project coming into this space must be technologically driven, not just that, but showing proof of it. We have seen many altcoins today which intially boosted of offering higher TPS or will beat Bitcoin and yet no where to be found; therefore the reason why I said technology. If a altcoin or project offers its own tech it will surly attract investors and with constant improvement will make the altcoin to be more valuable. Another vital point is the developers within the project, in this case will they be able to ensure they keep upgrading or will be quit halfway. So first thing first, technology leads to popularity.

Agree, the value of an altcoin will need the popularity and technology combined to build, it cannot be separated for consideration because such distinctions will only bring temporary perspective and value to the project while what an investor wants will be an altcoin that can invest in the long run. An explanation for this means that if altcoins are only popular and advertise well, it can only be glorious in the short term then rivals can replace it with better ads, they lack the foundation for long-term branding, focus on technology is just the same, without popularity and advertising, people won't know about the project

I think the tech comes first follows by popularity; what will make your platform or project to be popular if not the technology you are developing. After these two, another thing is the type and experience of the team involved, this where the community or potential investors will check and see if really the team are who they said they are. Well of course every project needs marketing but this comes after all the others are already in place and in order to ensure a good growth and commitment.

All these things you have mentioned here are all needed for boosting the value for any coin. Having good technology alone will not boost the worth of an alt coin. And a bad coin will not go far even if it’s popular, because I don’t think anyone is ready to invest in a project that is bad, unless they feel like there is an opportunity to pump and dump it and thereby rendering it useless it, they would do that, especially the bad people.

So, a project has to be popular and also have a good technology that would interest the investors before it can grow. A good project that is not popular is quite a waste of time.

And that's exactly why you shouldn't be going for price, but for value. Choose the industry you are interested in and try to look for real solutions that solve some real problems. And I personally look at the ones that are coming with blockchain implementation

I agree with you that such a strategy definitely makes sense. And are you having many industries you are following?

Nope. I am big fan of attending different events, especially sport. And thus, I noticed many issues on ticketing market - mostly connected with frauds. And found only one solution that sharply helps with bold tech and blockchain implementation.

What is the ones? Can you share? Curious to know after your message that guys are the only unique ones you've found

Right now, I'd have to go with popularity.

There are plenty of altcoins in the top 100 rankings that are experiencing meteoric growth. Not because of changes in the underlying fundamentals or new technological advances, but simply because their community returns to life during a bull market.

Just take a look at even some of the top 50 coins, do they really have much going for them, or even much changed in the last year or so?

NEO.... what has NEO achieved in the last year to account for its huge gains? Nothing. What about NEM? That crap is stagnant AF but still pumping.

I think it's all to do with the community size, and hence popularity.

The solution is called GET protocol. In few words, GET Protocol offers a blockchain-based smart ticketing solution that can be used by anybody who wants to sell tickets in an honest and transparent way. And just imagine how large market is and how solution can help here. Also, for example, GET team announced that they are moving into the Korean market. On top of that, GET Protocol will be the first BApp in the ticketing vertical to partner with Klaytn, the blockchain subsidiary of Kakao (look that name up if you don't know it..). And around 300k tickets are sold already via GET. This is the amazing example of real solution that brings real benefits. Also interested in your opinion

From your words definitely sounds attractive, will have a closer look on my own. Thanks for recommendation

Definitely TECH. Many of these projects out there are thriving because of their technology involved. This is one of the thing that move any project to enviable status among it equals, projects like Ethereum Cadano, Litecoin and AEN, these projects were built on the platform of technology and not just to scam gullibles off their funds. Most of these projects, experience drastic change in popularity just because of the tech behind the project, popularity cannot locate a none technology project.

Popularity is the main factor. If a project has a great technology without popularity, no one will know about such project and no one will use it. But when a project is popular, even if the technology behind it is not too great, you will see people proffering solutions to make the tech great.

I would have said the team but yet what are they team without an idea of innovation or technology; therefore I think the first and foremost thing to consider in any project is the technology within that said project and how it will play a vital role in the world at large. This role the said technology will play is what will determine its valuable nature as time goes on. In the same way, followed by technology is the developers after which marketing comes to play. Developers in this case can be likened to the a certain section of the team so is marketing.

Hi; In my opinion, the popularity in the short term and the technology in the long term, which of course will bring popularity. Of course, the project team's policies should not be underestimated.

At the moment for altcoins is more important than the reputation of the team and good marketing. Unfortunately, the technology itself doesn't solve much now, because without good marketing, you will not be able to successfully implement your project.

None of these two. The main thing that boosts the market are bull runs on Bitcoin and those come from many factors that include popularity and tech in them but also exhaustion of sellers, some positive news, FOMO and more.

Altcoin value depends on Bitcoin that's all there is to it. Altcoins never push BTC forward but it's always the other way round.

Popularity is not the main factor. A project with a good tech can attract a lot of new users and that can build a good perspective on the platform. This will bring popularity to the project. You misunderstand about how the real cycle of the coin can get the value.

We need new tech, rare use cases, that's the only thing that can attract someone like myself to a new project, I stay away from repetitive projects because they have nothing new to tender, its always about the money

Altcoins are pumped by market makers usually - just because they want to control the market and use these coins as instrument. You may ask about the way they choose altcoins for pumping... I don't know, maybe they are throwing a coin :)

I want to say that the price of a cryptocurrency is greatly affected by the project team's technology, marketing, and funding. If the most important thing is marketing, when a project founder is very hype, I think this cryptocurrency price will surprise us. For example, the founder of TRX is very hype. TRX prices fluctuated quite a bit with his news.

I think both technology and popularity are very important.This is essentially a kind of symbiosis.

I think both tech and popularity have roles to play in the success of any good project

I would say that basically much depends here. I am always looking for advanced solutions that combine both practical value, bold tech, great roadmap and prospects. And I cannot say that there are many solutions that meet my requirements. Are you having many? Probably the only one I am really impressed with lately is Carnomaly

Evening there. I absolutely agree with you on components you've outlined. And I would also agree with you on fact that there are not many advanced tokens today, the ones with benefits for users. What is Carnomaly staying for? Can you please elaborate in more details?

Sure. Basically, Carnomaly is automotive rebate platform. It was created to allow consumers who purchase new and pre-owned vehicles the opportunity to save more money when purchasing from an authorized automotive dealership. Consumers will be able to get a max of a 30% rebate, which will be given in CARR tokens that must be sold on the marketplace for redemption. This is absolutely new and unique standard on the industry. And of course, I also recommend you to have a closer look at guys' website, cause a lot of info is available there that will let you get a bit deeper

If you think more deep about it you will find the corelation between listing on popular exchanges and pumps. For example listing on Binance or Coinbase means almost 100% sure pump. While new partnerships or product development doesn´t mean sure pump, you know.

From your words sounds very attractive, agree with you. Let me have a closer look and get back with my thoughts, thank you for recommendation

Hype is one of the main factors in price appreciation for new projects that and a bit of both demand and technology combined with a real world use case to provide utility to the asset can help in increasing its value over the long term

Even if thee marketing is that good but if the investors find nothing that will interest them or they see that it has nothing new to offer to the community I don't think they will invest in that project, investors are wiser now they hone their skills on what to look and how to look on a project, you cannot just present them a project and they will invest right away.

The popularity of altcoins comes through the development and improvement of their technology. Initial advertising of the project gives only an effect in the first stage. In order for altcoins to be in demand, the project must bring something new to the world of cryptocurrency, and new comes with new technologies and new solutions.

Not enough with just the development and technology improvements alone, it would be pointless without being accompanied by clear marketing, such as listings in a large exchange and adding marketcap to the coin itself, many of the project coins die for just thinking Development Course

This might look easy but kinda trickish. As an upcoming project, I think what the team should be concerned with first is to have an MVP thus technology, that is to say, the technology comes first. This technology will protrate the idea of the team and how efficient they are. After this, I think the next thing is the developers if they are really skilled to keep up till the end. And lastly, media reputation or what I see as marketing, a good marketing matter too but one need to have something to market, thus the reason it's good to come up with the technology first.

Usually the demand will boost the the altcoins value so popularity will be the nearest of it but any altcoin will not be popular if their project is shit project. So I can say that both of them are very needed to boost the value of any altcoin because if one is lacking then the altcoin value will not increase.

Marketing is another factor also which is the most important thing to any project in order to obtain their popularity and raise the demand of their coins/altcoins. With regards to Bispex exchange I haven't experienced using it and I didn't know about their insurance funding but what I saw upon checking their background, they are listed already at coinmarketcap (rank #2057, marketcap is still unknown) and it's price is dropping base on their chart.

New projects can't be trusted until they are alive for several years, I have bet of few new altcoins in the past but they have already disappoint investors like  myself, the projects have real use cases but the love of money can't be denied, this is the blood that runs in new developers nowadays

Those are important parts to create such a good coin or even boost the price of altcoin. If there was altcoin that runs without needed all of those factors and that will be useless. So many project are focusing in the marketing and it fails. There was also a project that focus on the tech and it also get less adoption.

For me, positive news will help the price of altcoins rise quickly. I have seen a lot of altcoins in recent times going to the moon with news of cooperation with major businesses. It is obvious that technology will not help increase the price of altcoin, such as LTC, ADA ...

indeed, a major factor in increasing the value of altcoin is the exchange, there are many projects despite good technology but when listing on the bad exchanges, there will be no liquidity and large trading volume. and really an investor like me will pay attention to whether the dev team is rich or not and the exchange they will list

In my opinion, a positive update will make the community more trust with the project being followed, if investors or traders are sure of the project, maybe you yourself can assess it.

Technology is one of the major thing that could be a promoter of any project with good result. This has been tested several times with projects, good project with good technology behind will bring more organization to invest in the project, no organization will like to associate with any project without a good tech behind it. What we have seen in recent times is: projects without good technology suffer much than those with popularity.

the main factor is market demand, several other factors such as the rise of the price of bitcoin and strong support from the public are also one way to grow the price of altcoin. on the one hand such as the background of the developer or project team can also affect the good or bad of a project. if the project runs smoothly in accordance with what they offer at the beginning then the project is likely to produce sweet results.

talking about Popularity and tech  in light of the fact that prevalence will make promotion and many will contribute and follow that is without a doubt, second the innovation was additionally set a significant job to the said increase in altcoin cost and worth. since the innovation was the center and acting like an essential capacity and ability to convey its guarantee about the item and administrations they offer.

Both factors popularity and tech contribute to boost the altcoin values. Some alts became popular because of the popularity such as BNB. BNB is backed with one of the best cryptocurrency exchange BINANCE and it's value boosted and ETH for it's technology. ETH has it's own blockchain and ETH blockchain is used by so many other alts and they are developed on ETH blockchain.   

Projects that are already well known for their popularity must be supported by the development of their product technology.
On the contrary, if a project focuses on developing the technology of their products only, it does not necessarily have high popularity.

There are several popular projects tokens who later ended up dead due to bad products and lack of investment
for every crypto currency projects, you must first offer a reliable product, valuable and usable tech


When wil combine a functional useable tech with hype, the token will definitely do well

Talking about the crypto path, from my point of view, focus is going to change a bit. What do I mean? Investors are now a bit tired of similar and simple solutions. So as I understand, the switch will happen towards more technological and valuable solutions

Hey there. I am having pretty similar vision. Another aspect that makes sense - how team delivers experience. So I always conduct own analysis, evaluating many factors etc. So just wonder whether you are just following any project with innovations.

Not really. There are many criteria I pay attention to as well. And as for solutions I follow - there are only 2 or 3. If you are interested, my latest discovery is GetHashWallet. What I am impressed with - entirely new approach on industry. Heard of the solution already? A popular one these days

GetHashWallet? It seems that I've met the project somewhere, but cannot remember for sure. What exactly attracts you in their approach on the industry? Or where can I check out more on what the guys are bringing?

There are several points. Basically, I am pretty impressed with the idea in general. Team is building the reliable product. GetHashWallet is a secure hardware wallet that helps you to get into crypto safely. Exchanges are often under risks, so more ultimate solutions are requires. And guys are with easy arrow certified product that is already available for sale. Of course, I recommend you to have a closer look at them

From your words looks definitely attractive, will have a closer look shortly and get back with my opinion. Thank you for your recommendation mate

For me, I would consider taking both as a great factor to boost up a certain Altcoin value. When a certain project that introduces a new crypto coin which is in terms of Altcoins, that has great features and technology, people gets interested with it that is why many people are getting curious and tend to engage with it and as people keeps on getting into such, the popularity rises because people are now giving their attention and interest into such Altcoin which boosts up its demand. When the demand rises, the price bid also rises and that is not only because of the tech and popularity alone but the combination of the two to take a greater effect on rising up a price of an Altcoin.

a function that can be accepted and used by the market. when they create a platform but are not interested in the market then it will only wait for the project to be terminated. the popularity and technology developed must be based on the orientation of growing market interest. that's how to grow requests that can grow the value of the altcoin in the market.

Take a look at examples of the latest projects that we see in the crypto market. Let's turn to the best. Binance Exchange, the largest exchange on the market, created its own ecosystem where it attracted many projects and forced them to switch to their own network. The exchange also conducted quite a lot of fundraising (IEO), thereby bringing a number of companies to the cryptocurrency market.

Due to what all this happened, are all the projects so technically good that they are awarded multi-million grants? Obviously not. Because when no one cares how much the project is worth and being implemented, it’s important for everyone that it’s possible to make money on it, this is what most people care about right now. I’m not saying that all projects are not bad, I’m just saying that few people pay attention to this.

At the same time, investments in such projects hinder the development of the entire market, but develop the exchange itself. But cryptocurrency and blockchain are not exchanges.
One way or another, in the future, the market will clear itself of any kind of garbage no matter where in the ranking it is, which means technically implemented projects will form the crypto market of the future.

Addition to the current system will bring project to a good success, without any usable things to offer everything will ends up to pumped and dumped trading. Popularities together with good marketing strategy from the team behind will give a good chance for the project being supported by many investors around.

A lot of factors determine an altcoins growth, marketing is number one on the list because if done right the coin will become popular among crypto users. Then an actual product is a plus.

Of course, technology matters. After all, if the technology is really worthwhile, then the project will be implemented as it should. Popularity in this case is an auxiliary tool.

In modern realities, the main factor will probably be the popularity of the coin due to the fact that most investors are focused exclusively on initial, that is, starting, profit.
If we consider cryptocurrency projects in terms of time, it is clear that in the future, projects whose technological component will be impeccable will be most in demand.
However, it is difficult to say how it is actually better to build your marketing technology company, given that the market is tied exclusively to finances.

Every success of a blockchain project depends on the hard work of the team, if idea is good but team aren't hardworking it will surely fail or not perform well on the long run, secondly the real use case of the project is very important for the demand to grow higher

The technology or popularity of a particular type of cryptocurrency, of course, plays a big role in shaping its price. However, in practice, the state of the cryptocurrency market is crucial. Even with the best technology and functionality, the price of most coins drops immediately if the cryptocurrency market is in decline. Therefore, initially the market significantly affects the price of a new coin or token. In the future, personal characteristics of a particular type of cryptocurrency already matter.

Popularity would play a bigger role. The proof to this is ethereum. Ethereum's market price as well as ripple. The price of these altcoins keeps on growing as their popularity are widely being recognized. Same thing with the new altcoins in the market popularity is the main thing that encourages the investors to invest because those coins which are popular are those which has a bigger tendency to be more in demand.
The market condition at this case, is I think,  another factor to consider. There were many popular projects in which teams worked hard in order to reach success. But the negative market behavior dragged the outcome of those prohects down. When the majority of the market suffered from downfall, only a few projects succeed and those success are not even close to the expectations of the majority towards the project, simply showing how the market situation highly influences the outcome of a project.

In my opinion The project team plays a big role. A well known team has many advantages. For example, raising funds and listing coins on big exchanges. And people are more attracted to those coins. Many good technologies  coins cannot be listed on good exchanges. There are many coins that do not have any good aspects, yet those coins are listed on the big exchanges. This is what I saw.

Technology is definitely important, but in today's world, advertising will be more important.

I think the main factor in the rising price of an altcoin is its popularity and function. if altcoin has a very useful function, then the price will rise, and little by little its popularity will increase. however, without the expected function, popularity will not occur in a project.

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I would say that there is huge variety of different solutions coming onto the market, so I am here with the strategy I personally use. In my opinion, mine is pretty rational and can help to find the most advanced solutions

Hey. Talking about me, I agree that there are many aspects that matter. And I am not only talking about the idea as the idea, but much more about complex approach. So curious to hear your views

Well, my strategy is the pretty complex - I am starting with the niche. For example, talking about me, I am fond of different progressive IT solutions. After the niche is chosen, I have a look at the solutions that are having the highest ratings along with real feedback from users. And then I am also evaluating things on my own, paying attention to team, opportunities and more

This definitely sounds interesting and rational, cause usually people just follow what everyone follows. But I love your strategy more, it is deeper and more objective. As you are into tech and IT in particular, can you give me an example of the solution that meets your requirements nowadays?

i think both of them plays an important role, but the technology aspect plays a much bigger role, a project with a ground breaking or an outstanding technology will often gain much serious attention from investors and can have a positive impact on price,
popularity is good, but without a solid technology will not go a long way to sustain its value, better technology the reason why we invest

As for me, one of few really advanced solutions I can recommend is ThreeFold Network, pretty widely discussed one these days. In few words, Threefold network is the biggest decentralized grid of self-managing Internet capacity in the world, being built collectively by an inclusive ecosystem and owned by everyone. Mission is to expand the current Internet to all areas of the world and to allow everyone to use this Internet at a fraction of its current price

This sounds familiar, I might have heard of it already, but will definitely have a closer look

I would say that what also makes sense - they are unique with the features they are bringing. And I couldn't find competitors with similar functionality. But of course, I recommend you to Google guys and have a look at the website to get a bit deeper

This is a good idea, will do shortly and get back with my thoughts. Thanks
