Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

I see big differences between these two big rating agencies CCID (The China Center for Information Industry Development) and WeissRating. According to CCID is Bitcoin one of the worst cryptocurrencies. In WeissRating Bitcoin has achieved the best mark. Also, EOS in WeissRating has a pretty different rating. How can they get so different results?

Depends did the service it's subjective or not.

If they same like ICO Rating who make fake ratings because of the paid review and ratings. But the best ratings its from your own speculation when doing due diligence, that's would be good cause you using your own speculation without using other people review.

This is not ICO or IEO rating websites were ratings are given to projects based on payment, EOS is the best altcoin in asian part of the world so I'm not surprised that it top the list, this is CCID own rating and it's not bad IMO

That's why, I write this on my post.

You don't know how their business work, some of the cryptocurrency coin provider who also giving a review or score sometimes making a direct conversation to offer their service with a good score and some ads on their website.

I didn't know there were those kinds of ratings. If it were very respectable people who rate this, I would be into it just because of their credentials, not directly believe it, but make it seem plausible at first. It's best to be skeptical at first. If it's just a random site just to shill a type of coin, it's probably not going to be a great idea to believe in that rating.

So it would depend on the reputation of the site for me to "believe" in those kinds of ratings. It's not right away, but I will check the facts for sure. And yeah, Bitcoin is number 1, always.

Simple. They have different sponsors.

I would completely ignore any company which gives Bitcoin a low rating. There is no ecosystem without bitcoin.

Additionally, how the hell does IOTA  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227016.0)gets a good grade in Weiss rating? IOTA just paid them.
IOTA is corrupted, stealing coins from users using their centralized "coordinator" which confirms transactions.

A transaction free and instant which uses a centralized validator??  No thanks, I just prefer to use Visa.

I am quite surprised why they have this priority. Obviously they need to be fair to all projects across the globe, Btw I also accept this rating because they are a reputable site.

This is my first time seeing crypto ratings, and just like @ryzaadit said, if this is the same as ico rating that was biased because they are being paid to advertise even fraud, this is something that we should never trust.

Just like OP posted, there are two crypto rating that has different rating result. It only means that one of it was being paid to spread fake or false information because they are being paid.

That's insane to call bitcoin as worst cryptocurrency. That even sounds crazy while reading it. I mean all these years bitcoin has given such stubborn backbone to the crypto industry and all they are saying it as bad boy here.

Those who rate shitcoins over the bitcoin either play with blue chip stocks or they don't understand the gravity of bitcoin at all.

Also, coming to the topic, these things can be manipulated easily if it profits the surveyor. There could be many reasons such as putting more stress on other coins and thus pumping their signals. Or other ways to manipulate the market in local regions. It's big world with big intentions.

I do not rate crypto ratings; because it has little impacts, little effects on the realities of each individual tokens rated on the app. As a trader, you can ensure by yourself to rate tokens for yourself. Do the ratings by comparing the volume, trade history, 24 hr trade cap. and the products and usability of each token against one another.

All in all, always do your own research.

I can't read Chinese but I am guessing the CCID rating is about the performance of each blockchain.

The Weiss rating you posted is the overall rating. The criteria includes adoption, technology, market momentum, and investment risk.
Bitcoin tops all criteria except technology that's why it's also first in the overall rankings.

A better comparison between the two rating sites would be using Weiss ranking by technology https://weisscrypto.com/en/cryptos/screener/shared/coins-by-technology You can see there that Bitcoin blockchain is ranked 11th and graded as fair.

It's kinda difficult to trust such crypto rating providers. Unless they are open-sourced or something like community driven ratings.
It's really expected that we can achieve different results for every different crypto rating providers because they have different sources or somehow they are manipulated like some projects will pay a huge amount of money just to get some good ratings.

There are many criteria by which they evaluate cryptocurrencies. the ability to scale / commission in the blockchain/transaction speed and so on. it's hard to say which rating is really correct.

Yes, both of these institute has criteria for providing points and different rating scales. They look over a specific points and provide points from the scale. The ranking depend on how many criteria they'd look for and how much are the weightage of each. They are a technical measurement that may not reflect the sentiments of market.

There was a time when ratings were considered to be reliable now I do not believe any of it.

Do you think that "The China Center for Information Industry Development" is really corrupted? I don´t think so, it is a state institution, so it should have some value.
On the other hand, we do not know how these companies rate cryptocurrencies. We see only final rating and ranking, but we do not see reasons why. So until they provide facts, it doesn´t have any value.

This rating or ranking is solely based upon their own factors that may be different from what a common investor or user is looking for, my personal assesment is that they have given a lot of weightage to speed of transactions and the smart contracts also seem to have some weightage so nothing to worry about btc is still the king.

Each rating site has their own bias for certain cryptocurrencies. They can say that it is the worst-performing because they don't like it. But if they're giving that rating to bitcoin, they are out of their minds. Bitcoin has always been the best performing cryptocurrency.

I don't trust most crypto ratings these days. They are mostly pushing the business too far up to the point that they can give a good rating to a bad project and bad rating to a good project.

I do not follow any kind of rating or surveys or even expert opinions now because after so many years i have learnt that market decides when to move, market decides when bull trend starts and it is the market only that decides when the down trend will start so no real value in all these ratings or stuff.

I wasn't following any of these ratings too. But its funny how they all differ from each other Weiss listed XRP in the fifth. CCID understands its the worse coin they could ever promote so they listed to the last. None of them provided information as to why this is how they rank it but we all know its BTC that has the biggest trading volume and CCID just ignore it.

Crypto ratings e.g ICO, STO, IEO are mostly manipulated all because of fundraising involvement but this is different, EOS is a step ahead of Ethereum in asian countries like Korea and Japan among others, this ranking is self made but very good

We shouldn't value ratings, works, services or anything because they were owned by the State.

But, anyway, it isn't owned by the state

You can see in the wikipedia that it is a private company.

Bitcoin is the worst crypto currency? Oh no that reviewing site needs someone who have knowledge.How can they say like that when bitcoin is dominating the crypto world.

I don't know CCID capability or reputation to rate Cryptocurrency what are their criterias, obviously, Bitcoin should rule all the rating site, all existing markets and exchanges have Bitcoin as their number one and in my opinion, this is the real parameters of Crypto rating.

There are easily the most unreliable source of research directories when finding out about projects. Most of these rating sites are paid to promote and build reputations of these projects making them presentable to the public more than they actually are. All these to entice unsuspecting investors and then dumping their tokens on them and running away. It has happened repeatedly in the past.

If the rating is not actually about ICO projects then definitely yes for me, normal ratings have no pay day involved right? I don't know about CCID but since it's asian EOS will surely top the list.

It's a great scam, crypto rating was making sense previously until it became infiltrated, there was this ICO I bought back then in 2018, due to the fact that they got some nice team members and the crypto rating was almost 5.0 which is the highest, up till now the ICO has not be listed

The ratings were done based on their own perception and do not mean it is the most correct. That is why there are no discrepancies between the. Had it been they are accurate, there would have been many similarities. So it is very obvious that they are only expressing their personal minds and not the correct general opinion.

I got a few cryptocurrency rating sites information, but I don't believe anyone. Astonished that almost every crypto rating site predicted that EOS blockchain would be the top coin. I don't support it because privacy coins are the best. Bitcoin and monero gold have the biggest privacy in cryptocurrency.

I believe in crypto ratings, but it depends on the agencies or websites that are the source of the rating. Because a trusted
source will give a valid rating and it really helped me in choosing coins for investment. And for me CCID and WeissRating
aren't sources that I trust, but in my opinion WeissRating's rating results are quite valid when compared to CCID. Many
factors are causing differences in the rating results of various websites. Do your own research and investigation, so we can
distinguish which is valid.

The cryptorating site other than icodrop will always be manipulated but I think there are some that are still reliable like cryptorank. You can even see the old history of how successful icodrop listing  a lot of successful ico which has been giving really nice return.

check for the criteria how they assess the cryptocurrencies. dont jump into conclusions without identifying those factors that made them decide which one is better than the other. you will understand their evaluation if you will know how they dissected each crypto.
most crypto ratings have their own criteria but in the end, which one is really popular and have more followers?

The Chinese government always has its assessment, as you can see most of the top coin are filled by a coin who made by their citizen.

And I don't think that this table/ranking will affect the whole of crypto currency ecosystem, most crypto users will understand it.

Maybe it could be rated base on their purpose of use. But it could also possible that it is rated through which they were in favor, I mean who knows if there such behind that result.

Well this is my first time seeing crypto rating. I only know ICO rating siting sites which is untrustable. I wondering where they get data to rate crypto or maybe they get paid from the project it self?. We should be more wise and careful dont trust anyone.

The problem is some people in the past have proven if the site like ico bench has been getting paid to manipulate the rating. That has become the main concern why so many people have been called it as scam.
It could be rated based on how much they paid the ico ratings too.

At this point most crypto rating sites have become a honeypot for attracting novice crypto traders. They are mostly manipulative and useless.

They describe the result instead of the causes for a certain event or trend. I think most of us can see through that bullshit.

But there are still some rating sites that push out pure data and do not try to manipulate public views about any of the results through opinions and whatever. Cryptodiffer is one such site, I have also seen them publish charts and figures in various official Telegram groups. Other than that I trust Weisscrypto, I think they are on the top of google search results as well. And they push out unbiased stuff as well.

Not at all because you still need to confirm it if that ratings is real or not since we all know how the crypto sites can manipulate things especially the reviews about cryptocurrency so don't depend this one and invest base on your own analysis.

Exactly, reviews and ratings can only be use as your reference not as your guide on investing. If you see at least a suspicious ratings, then it can also be possible to happen on any coins/tokens.

in my opinion, don't trust the ico ranking site because they have been paid by the project owner to put their project in rank 1, it's better to always research the project yourself you want to invest in, so you don't lose your money because of the fraudulent project

How they do it and their purpose of doing this for what. I do not know about the site CCID and WeissRating, for me it's like a fake ranking. In addition, they say that Bitcoin is very bad. But what I see today Bitcoin shows a constantly rising price, let alone this coin is priced at $9.276. Bitcoin and Ethereum are still on the number one and two. I am personally to date still using the site Coinmarketcap.com to monitor the conditions of Bitcoin and Altcoin.

After I saw that Bitcoin has a bad rating in their database I concluded that this is paid promotion to hype coins they are supporting, how can you say that Bitcoin is the worst when it has a huge dominance in the market, the coins that they listed as leading cannot even get closer to Bitcoin's dominance in the market.

No, it will be hard to believe in some crypto ratings. Just like what you have shared, there are two different site that have their own rating towards bitcoin which has a different result. One makes bitcoin as the worst and another makes it the best. It only means that they are being manipulated based on their point of view towards crypto.

Ratings can't be the same for everybody, some will choose Bitcoin as first and others will choose altcoin as first on their lists, that's why I can't trust any one's rating or any website rating, we are different people with different opinions, some rates for money while others rates are based on their research

True! Most of rating sites nowadays work based on their behalf. They are more likely to promote a coin that they are hired to advertise. I don't have the habit of believing rating sites because it's too easy to be manipulated by the creators or administrators. Instead, I choose to believe in users' feedback on crypto forums such as bitcointalk!

Normal rating systems are good, I'm talking about ICO free rating websites, still you can't depend on someone's rating, you need to do your own research and find reasons why a coin should take the first place on your list.

First, I think they have different views or rather they did their ratings based on different factors, sometimes they might be paid and sometimes they might not, as for me, I do not care what they say because it won't change anything in the crypto space. That is, people already know the crypto they like, the crypto with great value, the crypto that is trustworthy and so on, of which most of the cases, Bitcoin comes out first; thus coming with this rating won't change their mind. In the same way, in the crypto space today, most people believes holding Bitcoin first is the right way to get started owing to its nature of growth. Therefore I wouldn't say I believe them or not, but one thing that is certain is that, I have my own way of researching thus knowing the best to invest in.

Yes, but trusting an ICO free ranking website also does not give someone an advantage, because ICO free ranking website is also built by other people based on the analysis he uses, so it is very feasible if we have to trust ourselves in this matter, meaning we also have to work in terms of analyzing as they do.

There is already plenty of evidence that many such sites have been manipulated and in my opinion it is clear that today many people do not really believe in a review given by the ratings. in fact the ratings can be bought by people who are currently very detrimental to investors who are stuck on the wrong project

the rating of the crypto project is honestly very helpful, especially if for a long-term investment,
there are many good projects now still undervalued, you can invest there

It will always be biased.
Never believe anything that is posted by a paid service.

It will be better if a forum member will do that for you or just based on the ranking of each veteran you knew.
There will also be a little bias as their part but not as great as those who are being paid to do it.
Specially if it is for the one who paid better.

Like any ratings-cryptocurrency ratings can be paid. The only question is the integrity of the publication. Also, they have different metrics and people behind it.
It is better to judge the market for yourself, and do not believe any ratings and other "TOP 10 CRYPTOCURRENCIES 2020" ONLY IN OUR ARTICLE " this is all nonsense

i cannot explain anything about this because each agency has their own assessment standards.
that's why they have different results.

we don't need to worry about this, and if you ask do i believe?
of course i can't trust them right away. i only believe in the analysis that i have made myself.

Due to the bad reputation of some rating site, I don't trust it anymore because I don't want to lose money just because I believe on those ratings and reviews. I started learning analyzing every new token/coins base on my own ways, and Its more effective since I saw a not so good project and yet the reviews on that is 5 Star and it looks like no problem at all which is a big risk for the invetors.

Yes, I believe in crypto ratings, but it depends on a purpose, But I think both rating agencies are using a different methodology when in terms of ranking cryptocurrencies. But I'm not sure about it, maybe the Chinese rating agency *CCID has their own requirements and Bitcoin failed to prove it. thats why they rank Bitcoin much lower compare to other coins.  It is also the same on WeissRating But in different methods.

My point exactly. Each to their own. Both CCID and WeissRating have criteria for rating cryptocurrencies the way they do. However, none of them are 100% accurate. Rating sites like these are best used as a guide to make our own decisions. Also, It shouldn't be about which token or coin they list at the top of the list.  The rating by CCID serms a little biased in my opinion though. I mean, EOS over Bitcoin is so unreal. Then I remember that EOS is closely related to asian. Again, each to their own.

I believe in crypto reviews, white papers, etc. After reading this i can create my own rating. I dont think that public ratings worth anything

For me too fast if we believe in the Crypto rankings. These two sites have the criteria they have specified. However, I see that they make a lot of mistakes and like false. Many wrong data from this site. Many people here have experience and of course, they wouldn't be easy to believe with a site like this. I hope everyone is cautious because if it loses money because it believes in sites that only manipulate data, I think we will regret it.

Here's the reality, if we like the rating we would believe on it but if not, we will not.
We are investors, and we have our own coins, so we are bias as well, and I don't think that those raters are not bias, they could be.

Actually, I'd rather make some research, read the news mores and speculation from different people before I make judgement.
What I learn in the market is don't trust anyone but ourselves as they might be manipulating us.

Should I have to believe this thing? probably not and to see the lies behind their rating and just like many others makes fake rating for a reason ( will that it something how much they pay for it). yeah, it wasn't been proven how they gather that info and rating as we believe that they have also the criteria but as what I see those differences, it appears in my mind to not believe with. 

Anyways, we know the situation already and we saw that Bitcoin takes the lead and no other coin did it. There is no sense to read and watch their ratings for this won't give any help to us.

Depends on what they are basing their ratings on. I think the most important crypto principles (the principles/foundation Bitcoin Blockchain was based on) have to be captured first in their ratings otherwise it does not matter much.
The principles are decentralization, transparency, immutablity, censorship resistant, security, privacy/anonymity, permissionless/trustless, etc.    A good rating site has to make sure that the foundation/principles are solid and followed by cryptocurrencies in the course of their development.
Few likely started on solid foundation but most of them usually end up deviating.
I believe if you are rating a building, you have to start from how good their foundation are. You don't give an attractive building with lots of "cool" features but poor foundation (or that deviate from its govt approved foundation) a good rating.

Those ^ core principles are what the first Cryptocurrency was founded on. They are what make cryptocurrency unique, valuable and secure. The principles should not be weakened or ignored.. . they have to be growing stronger.

I am aware of Weiss, they are the firm for institutional funds governing and their rating is based on their own perception on cryptos like you and myself may do some listing and what about CCID? Is this any China government based organization on blockchain technology or just another private firm which is conducting studies and surveys on blockchain technology?

Basically anyone may provide a rating on cryptos like how coinmarketcap is providing a ranking based on marketcap of the crypto assets. I am just curious to know like these kind of rating providers will take any responsibility for our investment decision; definitely they will not. They will disclaim like their ratings are just for informational/educational purposes and all investment decisions should betaken purely based on our own responsibilities and due diligence.

We are having this forum and we are having lots of experienced people to help us in identifying the right asset to invest with hence we should be need any kind of rating; this is the reason I'm always discouraging people to go for investments based on coinmarketcap.

For what I can see in the images it seems both sites are measuring different things, which could explain the difference in the rankings of bitcoin, one is measuring the technology while the other is measuring its attractiveness as an investment, however I have always been cautious about any kind of ranking website, because as we know not only they are subject to being bribed they could also impose their views on people, something that goes against the decentralized nature of this market in which every single person should form their own opinion, however out of the two rankings the one that has bitcoin near the last place is suspect, we know that China does not like bitcoin and this could be a way to try to create a narrative that it is a bad coin when we know it is the best coin in the market.

If there are two choices, and you like one of the two, which do you give the best value for? What do you choose, or do you not choose.
For example: The highest value is 5 stars, and the lowest value is 1 star.
EOS
Ethereum
There are three people choose, accidental who chose EOS two people and one person choose Ethereum. Is this the worst Ethereum. Of course not.
Rating depends on the audience.
If the audience in this forum tells to vote, I think 80% choose Bitcoin.
This is the same as when you bring money and grass to the sheepfold, the sheep prefers grass over money. Sorry, just a term.

It's hard to believe in ratings. I don't know on what basis they gave this rating and what is the medium of their research. Everyone has a different system for research. It is possible that these ratings have been manipulated. Because we have seen how has given ico's fake ratings and reviews. There were some firms and some websites that gave paid ratings. So I couldn’t fully trust this rating here. There may be a paid game behind this.

I do not believe this type of rating, it is very hard to see if the rating is done fairly or with any kind of vice. It is also subjective as the projects have very different use cases and scaling possiblities
I think the best thing is still doing your own work and think about the different aspects of those projects and judge for yourself

Results would really be treated to be on global scale and we know that those ratings are basing of into their own place or country which means each of them will really show up different numbers and ranking.
This is why i dont really trust or dont look with other ranking stats other than CMC itself.Yeah, cmc isnt even reliable on anything but at least this site shows the volume which would particularly reflect
on each coins demand, volume/ liquidity and where the market it is mainly traded. On answering about the question of believing on crypto ratings? On outside scope then its no.

The amount been payed will determine how the said project will be rated upon. Rating an ICO project high doesn't guarantee it will succeed more than those that are rated less. Some of the top rated ICO's can end up as scam. The best rating is the rating you did by yourself not by others

Each person will have different ratings on several coins and I think this is reasonable. There are those who look at the speed of the transaction, but there are those who look at the liquidity side and I think there are still many factors that need to be considered in evaluating the performance and technology of the coin.

Crypto ratings doesn't matter anyway because they are centralized agencies which are rating the cryptocurrencies.
Consider a single entity telling you which cryptocurrency is the best. Why would it matter to you since you wouldn't bother about that single entity anyway.
You would do your own research and then invest in coin right. Similarly, these crypto rating are a myth in my opinion and it doesn't matter if any coin is ranked higher or lower in one of them. The global ranking is what matters in the crypto market since crypto itself is used globally.

some people doubt the ico rating site or the ranking of the coins.
but not all of them are fake or bad, I see the ICODROP site is a good rating site, because they only make a list of successful projects.

That is what happens with the China rating, and I don't believe with that. I believe that bitcoin is the number one in the cryptocurrency because bitcoin is a leader in the crypto, and all coins are behind on bitcoin. The crypto rating is only a rating, and we don't have to trust it because we have the market which gives the volume and another data, so we can see what coins that are good to buy.

CCID (The China Center for Information Industry Development)?? Of course, they are going to rate Bitcoin as the worst coin in the market, it's government-run service and it's manipulated, but the fact is Bitcoin lording in every market and on every other survey and still leading Google trend on Cryptocurrency most searched coin.

the name sounds reputable enough with that name i think they are really related to the government  but just becuase its related to government we can now expect a bad feedback ?  governments here on our country love bitcoin but to also that those country that legalized crypto   .

  those rating are unreal because we all know how popular and good bitcoin was   .  its okay if they comment something bad for those coin that are not popular because people wont  easily find out if they are lying or not  .

Most of them are subjective indeed, there are rating site where the owners are receiving money from the
developers in order to have a good position from the site.


That's the right thing to do, base your investment according to how you fully understand the project, with
good research and study you'll be able to pick the right one.


With how the market works by now, you should relied with your own understanding and never to entrust your
judgement with information that you've seen from rating websites.

of course, Bitcoin is still the King and always will be..  as explained @Yogee: The ratings above are only based on the performance of each of the Blockchain on each platform.  I personally believe 75% of the ratings above are right..

I do agree with you about this and i remember when they were putting ethereum below EOS and TRON. They were saying it based on their opinion. There was no a lot of people were using EOS and im still having a lot of doubtfulness about the credibility of such rating.

Traders won't easily be brag these baseless ratings. It can be just a manipulated result but that was difficult to spoil people's mind because they know already the real market position. In this kind of market, we can't deny many exchangers will do the same as it the way to diverts people's interest but somehow it won't make sense since we all know what coin/s really have the potentials.

They have ways to identify and evaluate a technology of different businesses. But for the crypto market, I'm not too concerned about the technology of altcoins. I only care about their community and how they benefit investors. the fact that their technologies do not apply much in our daily life, so their technology updates are just good news to increase the price of coins, I will take advantage of that. In the crypto market, technology is something quite trivial.

Do I believe in crypto ratings, I think I do, but it's just for informative purposes, like I know that bitcoin is on top and that have better rating than others, and it's the same for every other coins. Last call is what I see on exchange, sell and buy orders!
There're many informative sites, and you can trust them to some point, but never fully and never with all your money! Crypto is full of different projects, and we can try anything, and its good to try new things, but you need to be careful with that and to know how to make an approach and not get hurt if things go sideways.

I would not consider it as a 100% that we can just blindly believe in this rating. Instead we should be using our own research and accordingly invest in any coins and should be using some basic rules like only investing limited which we can afford to lose it. Not to invest in just one coins etc. Rating can just be a parameter while investing but should not be the only parameter on which decision is taken.

Crypto rating review quality sometime not accurate, moreover on popular review site which is sometime paid by developers team to give good rate. Rating an ICO project high doesn't guarantee it will succeed more than those that are rated less. Some of the top rated ICO's can end up as scam. The best rating is the rating you did by yourself not by others

Yes your right. I agree with you. We should probably not totally based on them but rather we should do our own research and it could help us to identify which project will be great for our choice. This rating will always there either its paid or not, its all for us whether we follow it or not. Sometimes its not accurate but sometimes I agree with this crypto rating. There's a case that they will not listed the tokens that they like then there the one who invest to them to dump it and it better for them to buy in a cheaper price.

Yes for beginners maybe they should just take a look and use it as a reference to get saved from future scams by choosing a good Cryptocurrency over a bad one. For veterans maybe this don't hold much value because they have the right mind along with knowledge to invest in good performing coins and also in those coins that have a good potential to outperform other coins in the future.

Yeah, you are seeing different ratings because the platforms that are rating are completely biased. The ratings are based on "opinions of some small group of people". That is why you see different ratings on different platform. I also expect to see trashy coins on the list, since those list makers get paid for promoting those coins.
China not keeping bitcoin on number one in their list is the least surprising thing to me.

I trust most of the rankings as long as they are open about what are they measuring and how is it calculated.
Chinese ranking does not share this info so I tend to not believe in it

for cryptocurrency ranking results, data can be manipulated at any time for various reasons, such as sites from the current ICO ranking, so to compare them, you can match them with several other sites.

I'm aware there are several rating websites, but I'm not quite sure of their authenticity because I know they could be easily influenced by any concerned individual willing to pay the price. There is no doubt that some of the ratings could be true and helpful.

The thing is that they can’t give the same ratings. It’s just like coming to this forum and asking people to rate their favorite cryptocurrencies, knowing very well that everyone is not going to mention the same cryptocurrencies; some are going to rate Ethereum over EOS, and some will choose EOS, and some will go for NEO, and others – BTC. It’s just like that, everyone wouldn’t say the same thing.

These two institutions you mentioned are two different institutions, and their teams will have preference for different cryptocurrencies. It’s just like a recommendation, they are telling you what they feel is the right cryptocurrency for you to invest in, so it’s up to you still decide what’s best for you.

Yes i believe every top altcoins but i never believe ICO/IEO rating point for a new project. There hasn't not trustful rating site right now because every site has paid options for increase trust rating ;D. If you want investing in new project then no need follow rating site even instead you should project roadmap with partnership. After all i aware everytime in my assets so i can't spend in fake project.

It's not about website but it's about the crypto rating that has already published by a company that works on china. I have been seeing several times some organizations have released their own result about the crypto rating for the popular coin in china and I could not say that's 100% can be trusted by anyone.

of course this can not be trusted 100% but this can be made to measure the potential of the project indicated scam or not. then from having a crypto rating, it can help investors to find and choose projects easily if he wants to invest their money.

It's a shame, back in 2017 you can easily use ico rating websites to make the right choice when choosing new ICO projects to invest on but things aren't the same anymore, scammers burnt ICO and everything involved ( ICO ratings) to the ground, whatever ratings you come across you have to do your own research, do not trust ratings

Cryptocurrency ratings depends on the location on where they are being publicly used. We know that there are some Cryptocurrencies that is specifically being used in specific countries and in that moment, if it is valuable in their country, it means that it must be the number 1 Crypto that is usable in their country.

Cryptocurrency ratings depends on whichever is really useful to us but some ratings are really worth to read because we can see on what Cryptocurrencies we can invest on.

Maybe I used it as part of the analysis when I was going to invest in a coin, but of course I didn't use it as the main benchmark. I prefer to see it for myself on the exchanges listed and see more news in the forums that they have or others.

I don't trust any of the cryptocurrency rating agencies since there is a huge disparity in their report. Lackluster like that because every agency has a different agenda and using their rating report to push something with half true, half wrong or sponsors' content.

You cant trust up something that can easily be manipulated since we know the reputation of these crypto rating sites are really not that good ever since they have issues on receiving up money just for a project
to have some good reviews or ratings which do really mislead investors to believe that they are dealing with a good project but actually they have been lured in to invest and lost up money in the end.
There are several ICO review sites that had been known or popular back in the past but as days goes by their reputation had been tarnished with this kind of issue thats why people cant really just
trust up on whats being suggested or written there.

I know that on ICObench you can find wrong ratings, but some sites gives good information, also I cant trust on 100% in any ratings, of course it could be manipulated. Also even name McAffee sometime used by not honest projects

I find it funny that people still find these rating sites useful when it has to do with finding out thorough details about projects and ICOs. They are paid to promote what they do and its obvious that you can't get unbiased opinions or recommendations from them. It is best to find out more by taking proactive action. This way, you can know for certain.

Whenever I read these charts and graphs like this I always wonder to myself if they just suck this out of their thumb and just take a guess tally it up and round it off and give that as the answer? They say they use methods or algorithms or "intensive research" but would anyone know the difference between that and if I just made up a lift and took half-educated guesses? That's why I don't trust these things. I take what they say and think about it but I won't make it change my mind about something. At the end, of the day you need to think for yourself and what is best for you.

it's relative, what the site that make rating and how their reputation, now as we know many shit site crypto review make a fake review because they got payed from developer like ICO rating site, only one trusted site for that's Coinmarketcap only for me

yeah of course that's why i don't trust any ICO rating site, i just searching at this site just for research and searching info about few project and research them by myself

I don't believe in crypto rating anymore whether it's from rating platforms or from people, everyone has his or her own reason why they will rate a coin as 1st or 2nd on their list, I have my own reasons to rate a coin too, it's all about different understandings

I saw this rating and think that all ratings are partly subjective and everyone should think youself and analyze projects only based on such ratings, not listening them as the most significant indicator. I trust ratings, but don`t think that they are always right.

No, I generally do not rely on such reports because the independence of the assessors is not always clear. In addition, it is not shared as a clear information about what decisions are made in the lists where such rankings are made and according to what conditions. For this reason, I do not trust these types of evaluation articles or lists very much, but I do not neglect to follow them constantly since these types of lists cause activity in prices. Under any circumstances, I recommend that you do not consider such lists as the sole source and not make investment decisions based on these lists.

I don't like crypto ratings, it us convincing, it leaves several peeps especially newbies with false information about projects. As investors or researches, we need to understand that crypto ratings are done by humans too and they can make mistakes, hence always do your own research by yourself

That doesn't mean that they aren't useful, still in the end you'll be the one who will decide but crypto rating are just based on the study or could be bias opinion by the writer or the site. It's not necessarily you'll have to follow it blindly, you just have to be smart and just select information that you think useful  and you believe is correct, and also, don't rely on one source only.

Absolutely correct! Ratings doesn't mean your life depended on it. But rather a guide on how to gauge projects. You have to do your own evaluation given those information. There are also several sources that you need to check because they vary from one site to another. So just get what you think is useful for you. You can also see the pulse of the community by checking the feedback and reviews. In this way, you will see how they served their clients and how they addressed issues.

I don't trust crypto ratings at all.For me they are baseless,useless and very easily their ratings can be manipulated.There are several project who got high ratings but they scam us and if some random project will offer them money they can help this project by giving a good ratings.In ICO site ratings are same.So for me I never follow crypto ratings or ICO ratings to invest in a project.

https://medium.com/alethena/this-is-how-easy-it-is-to-buy-ico-ratings-an-investigation-13d07e987394

ICO or IEO or any project ratings can be easily more if project use money for ratings.So be careful before invest in ICO or IEO by just seeing ratings from some random sites

Those are just ratings and not accurate, CCID maybe get their data only is limited areas so that is why they have different ratings. Maybe they also have different standards and calculation, etc. Don't get bother with those ratings results we all know that bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency and no one could beat it. I really don't care about ratings they could be tampered and sometimes bias.

Based on previous arguments, this is true of their rating, this has brought the king of cryptocurrency(Bitcoin) down beyond our thoughts. The surprise thing here is, the Chinese coins are the top in the list, hope to see some of their coins doing well in time to come. For me, this is their best criteria according to them.

It's like the same thing over and over again. First, new crypto ratings work as it intends, giving a good report but slowly, they develop their agenda and side business, their ratting ain't good anymore. Raise and repeat enough that now, people don't care about crypto ratings anymore.

Ratings aren't reliable, this is the last thing you want to make decisions on before choosing crypto coins, even a top 200 altcoin can perform more or bring better ROI than top 10 altcoins, we are all here to make profits and that's what's important

You are right, of course, you cannot blindly trust the ratings. everyone should evaluate the liquidity and reliability of cryptocurrency assets for himself.

I believe in ranking on Crypto especially on the site of the service providers that cover all Exchange industries so that it is easy to track every trading volume.  such as the Coinmarketcap site, which many crypto players visit and provide real data on each coin rating.  but on the site that you provide I think is not too complete because BTC is ranked below while Altcoin is ranked top of course this is impossible.

I used to trust ICO rating sites but most of them these days rate ICOs without necessarily doing a good background research about the legitimacy of the project. So many projects rated high by some  of these sites have actually collapsed or scam its investors already. Trust your own research and intel if you intend to invest in any project these days.

I have the doubt if ratings are still being considered as reliable and if there is anyone whostill does that, it shows tat the person is still very new to the system and has not learnt his lessons from past mistakes.
Well, i am not saying that rating do not have their own benefits too, but tat depending solely on those rating might be a bad idea.

You use crypto rating but this is true for old coins internally. but I can't take the fuss of all the ideas just by looking at their ratings because it's my own search is pretty tough. I would like to inform myself more and more about this crypto market so i am not willing to invest in any new project based on a rating site.

Ratings can't ever be same, everyone knows their different reasons why a coin should be first or second on their list and I have my own reasons too, this is why it's stupid to rely or make decisions on a rating list, it can be misleading

This answers it all, anyone who decides on which project to buy based on ratings from such sites is still a learner when it comes to research. Those ratings are solely based on their opinions, and some are even paid ratings. I'm not saying those ratings shouldn't be looked at when doing research, but they should never decide for you on which project to invest in.

In 2018, for some reason I believed in the ICO ranking site. And entering 2019-present. I don't trust them anymore. Right as you said, self-analysis is sometimes better than ranking. I do not blame people who are still using it, at least just make a reference.

Coinmarketcap and coingecko is more than enough to know which coins are topping right now but still I wouldn't believe in unpopular crypto rating platforms, still I have different reasons to choose other coins that aren't even popular or that are still new, my money my risks

I have never believed in cryptocurrency ratings because I think this type of  ranking can be bought with money. I participated in a bounty program with 4.6 scores at the end of the campaign and what I received was a useless token and they scammed investors for a long time with their promise that they need a little time to finish :D ( Bitto exchange).

I believe in ratings from coingecko and coinmarketcap since they are rated by high marketcap and volume but what OP lists says is a personal rating based on personal interest, this ratings aren't for someone like me, EOS can be the first for you while NEO can be the first on my own list

Any rating sites that do not put Bitcoin on top of it are false and I don't believe on such rating all news about Cryptocurrency are all about Bitcoin and if you looked at the market people are checking first before any other coins Bitcoin dominance now is over 60% how can you not rate Bitcoin on top of it.

I believe that Bitcoin is the best crypto coin ever and it's first on coinmarketcap and other platforms too, this is a true rating I belief, ethereum is the best smart contract project and it deserves the second position on coinmarketcap too, this is true rating isn't it? I believe coinmarketcap

It would depend on what they are rating if it is an ICO,IEO or any crowdfunding projects then NO I already lost trust on those trust ratings for those kind of crypto a very long time ago.
But if it is on the old crypto or the one's that already have a value then I think I would still believe it like the list of CMC.

To be honest those type of ratings doesn't bother me anymore but yes calling BTC as the worst cryptocurrency is taking it way too far. BTC is providing such a good a result in the market for the past couple of months its even outperforming EOS (price-wise).

I think such ratings are very biased and often try to put their candidates first, so I don't trust them completely.

crypto currency is one of the developments of the times, I am very sure that the crypto rating will rise in the eyes of the world proven to be increasingly high demand for crypto and what happens right now the crypto market is green and of course some investors get profit

Good information, in my opinion the different ratings are reasonable because each has an assumption. The reality is how many people choose and use it.

not everything is true or accurate and also wrong.
I only suggest not being attached or dependent on something.
You can compare it to the development of the project if on their rating site they say a project is good and gets a high score then you see the history of the project is the same or not as said.
from there you can estimate whether the project is good or not.

Yes, I also only trust simple ratings like exchange's volume and liquidity or trust score on the site like coingecko and coinmarketcap. Other than that most crypto ratings are just crap trying half true, half false information to convince you about new crypto they want to advertise.

Though crypto are generally considered similar things, but they are very much different in their nature and mode of use. It would not be wise to compare a stablecoin, a STO coin, a utility coin and a masternode coin at once. It's quite unrelevant to call a centralized coin a competitor of bitcoin.
As there are no regularities in crypto and their nature, the metrics too would be much different. You can't just call 1st or 2nd for participants from a different race.

Some are wrong and some are right, I don't care much though about ratings, some are paid to get high ranked on rating platforms, I'm more into what I will or can make from a project not their positions, I've seen good news about people who made biggest gains from shitcoins

This is because the blockchain is examined in three separate categories, which results in Bitcoin being ranked 12th while EOS 1st. because according to CCID Bitcoin uses old technology, and the use of BTC is not as much as EOS. reasonable because btc was crypto in 2009 and specifically for currency. it's their judgment, so we can agree and we can't.

It's very clear that the CCID rating is inaccurate, it's impossible that Bitcoin is one of the worst cryptocurrency.
I think CCID made a fake rating for promoting new projects, so that they can attract investors. And things like this
are very dangerous for investors, because they provide misleading information. We should avoid investments based
on CCID rating.

Most of the people here seem to be more interested in Coinmaretcap because this website is the most valuable checker site in the crypto market and of course updates every hour so that investors understand what is happening. I always go to this site to check for coins because all the information about that project is listed here so I don't have to spend too much time searching.

I still quite trust ICO Drops when it comes to their ratings, but trying to avoid ICO Bench and other shady rating sites as they have lost their credibility long time ago. There is a new player on the field, Blockfyre, they are writing HQ detailed reviews of projects and they already have quite a big following, which is not surprising at all, be sure to take a peek at their stuff.

I am wondering where do they get this rating from? I means their criteria or basis to rate a certain coin like EOS being on top while BTC which the I think the most profitable and king of all coins and actually steering the wheel for every other coin in crypto marlet flow is being in the almost at the buttom of the list?

for the ranking of cryptocurrency sites, I doubt it a little, because it can be manipulated against transaction volume, many cryptocurrency fans see price movements on the Coinmarketcap site.

They are already listed some of the criteria they used in rating those coin and it shouldn't surprise you if you don't see bitcoin rating first on that list. This is because each rating platforms have different view in which some are subject while some are not. Just the way crypto ranking of exchange platforms are not the same. It is left for you to do your own research and accept or reject what ever you see.

It's good to learn and checking which coin takes the lead is very informative and helpful too but do not invest on coins base on others rating, I don't care which coin takes the lead I just want to make me some money and that's all there is.

It's not about ico drop but it was about a party that has already published the rating from their personal opinion. I have seen so many parties from china have been doing this too in the past. This is not something new around us and as an old player and I remember when tron was getting hyped through use the rating too.

ICO ratings is different from normal crypto rating that happens on coinmarketcap and coingecko, ICO rating isn't 100% legit, they are very deceiving and project teams pays such ICO rating websites to rank them up so that investors can invest on the project

In my personal opinion, I don't believe in crypto ratings most of them are telling as lies.
Because the truth happening in the actual trade in the altcoins our experiences was showing the
real things for us to earn there for real in the near future.

The best rating for me is the market, investors are looking on the market to see what coins are worth investing, not on any companies own rating criteria, some of these rating sites just want to hype coins that support their companies I rather have Coinmarketcap and Coingecko.

they can give you a nice overview of a project. However, I don't trust rating services that can be biased towards payed or promoted ratings. This completely defeats the purpose of an unbiased rating. Then after having an initial sentiment towards the project, you can filter the bad ones and just keep researching the ones that stand out so ratings can be a useful tool. Ratings are indicators and I think that you can rate a project yourself with various metrics that you can think of. One of the most useful metrics I consider when rating a product is trading volume. Trading volume usually means there's current active interest and participation of users.

Okay. This is not just any ico or ieo ratings by some random websites. CCID is fully backed by Chinesegovernment. And they are always like to use their own products. That's why crypto like eos,neo and wanchain is always on top of the list. And they decide what their needs is. They rate those based on their needs. So it's kind of fine. And somehow they think btc is slow and more expensive fees than other coins they choice as payment. So they position btc as an asset and ranked in 12th i think.

in my opinion the crypto rating can be trusted, because investing in the altcoin project also needs to be analyzed like that,
and the crypto rating is very helpful

Yes, in crypto, something new with all the new cutting edge technology doesn't mean it will fare better again old crypto in terms of price and widespread use. Just the way of crypto ratings agency giving any new crypto more attention by ratting it higher than the old.

I don't really believe or trust all these cryptocurrency raring sites or platform. And that is because their opinion is not biased free. Some projects pay these people to rate their projects high. I prefer to do my research on the project I want to invest it

Not much exactly cause there are lots of projects and exchanges out there with fake volume. So crypto rating is not easy thing to believe. But i shocked that how they called bitcoin one of the worst cryptocurrencies..? >:( Well, there is no doubt that's because bitcoin banned in china and still in Asia's many countries don't support bitcoin. So they made that chart their own way. :D

Most of the rating sites make fake rating of a new project which is misleading for the investors. I don't rely on any rating site. If an investor depends on rating, surely he will fall in trap. He should invest on his own research not depending such fake ratings. High rating projects sometimes make scam. So every investor should be aware of it before investment.

I do my own research and get information from a trusted source or expert. From my viewpoint, those are much more reliable than ratting agencies if those sources have a high reputation.

You can't credit bitcoin low and can't pinpoint the rating by what you see on net but would be better you do your own research to know the exact answer from different signal websites. Do not believe the manipulations which is mostly to attract investors. Research would help solve and give accurate result.

rather than trusting crypto listing that contain manipulation better to believe on exchanges team analisys on their IEO project. simple example on binance, we didnt need to analize project , their team already did it for us. and its proven project that launched on binance rise multiple time from initial price.

Yes, because the technology is effective and more valuable, I think only scammers are embarrassing the right way on cryptocurrency ratings which is coming from all subscribers, even though this is not 100% safe to its process but the 80% is good for us to become one of them to proclaim their good benefits.
.

I wouldnt really count on crypto ratings. Most of them are too unreliable. There are some crypto ratings that are sponsored by some projects therefore giving them less of a reliability factor since ofcourse they have to give a positive review. Its safer to do your own research and not rely on these things too much.

Doing research and try to collect all the datas that's available online will help you to figured out those
important factors that determine the ratings of every cryptocurrency, you just
need to make your efforts to understand deeper.


Bad sides of rating sites, it's important to do your own analysis in order to prevent you being tricked by those
developers who pays the listing sites for good ratings and reviews..

Indeed crypto ratings are not reliable because it can be manipulated.

So its best to search for reliable sources like here in the forum to know the facts about this particular crypto.

Just check the market and analyze if the coin has potential like other establish coins.

I think thats basically their site based rating so maybe they have categories and some checks that some coins dont just click I think it will be great if they give their criteria for choosing those Coin I think dont override those coins that feels great from their only rating since basically those site look like a low usage site

I don't fully believe in rating sites but before giving a rating they already did some research and started sorting their ratings. So I will appreciate every rating given.

Be aware of what you do and only believe in your research because it will help you greatly reduce unnecessary risks. I will often search for project news and ask relevant questions to make sure the project is profitable for me.
However, it is not always convenient because if the market suddenly drops, the coins you invest can make you lose.

Try to think positively, maybe the two rating sites have different criteria for assessing cryptocurrency. If you try to think negatively then the possibility of the rating site is paid for the rating with a good value crypto that pays them. I don't really trust rating sites and only take relevant information and try to conclude it myself. As we know that we do not know what criteria they take to value coins, there is not even a concrete calculation they give to value coins.

I agree with this statement. I also do not fully believe in the rates they provide, and I will conduct a separate search and research. it's just that, sometimes sites like that already provide a summary of the information we need. some sites also rate the completeness of data from a project.

Some ratings are faked, they can be paid by changing their ratings into almost perfect score but it depends.

That is a great thought. I've always wondered why those rating sites do not share any info on how their calculations work, where do they get their info and etc etc.
This could help trust them a lot

Either some crypto ratings are true or lies I don't see why this should be my problem because to me ratings are just ratings, it won't make me invest in any Crypto project, I do my own research first and do my pickings, I made good money from new coins most times not old coins

Crypto rating are useful to make sure that your conclusions about X project meets the reality.
And sometimes its kind of easier to find a decent project simply by searching through each one in some ratings.
But overall, I have a little more credit for a project that is in the rating compared to the one that isn't there

do you really believe in crypto rating websites do you think they all genuine ? they all are paid by there respective projects. so don't blindly trust them and think to invest there project. do your own research before invest.

I enjoy browsing through lists of crypto ratings from different platforms but I've never make a crypto investment decision through ratings, I'm more into new altcoins that are under top 100 on coinmarketcap, they have less marketcap and more risky but they have insane ROI

because of the difference in terms of assessment. if what is assessed is in terms of market cap, price and volume, of course bitcoin should be number 1. but if what is assessed is something other than that, for example projects or other developments, of course the results will be different.

Rating sites are usually paid promotions and advertisements so I do not believe on the data that they are uploading in the internet. I experienced to lose huge amount of money because I follow and rely on a certain crypto rating website, I know it is my fault and I told myself that I will never repeat it. I make my own research and not the ratings of those fake rating website. They are just giving wrong and shit information.

Ratings are much dependent on the the one rating at times.  Personally I don't depend on many of these ratings because it's only few of them that are reliable to some extent. I rather look out for some information on any project I intend to invest in.

I check on crypto rating sites to find information on new projects that is to be launched in the market. But I don't make their ratings an influence on my investing decisions. I observed that some of these sites based their scores on sponsorships and tend to rate highly sponsors. I still believe that proper personal research is still the best method when and where to invest.

Crypto rating platforms are only good for knowing the details about coins and tokens that are presently topping in crypto space presently, I don't make investment decisions based on ratings, it's investment move

there are lots of things to do when you want to invest in crypto currencies, indeed the crypto currency rating is already quite helpful, but many fake ratings make the project also more difficult to predict whether it is feasible or not, if talking about ICO or IEO ratings, you better really observe it

They were created for manipulations and each site has their own paid shillers so its not wise to trust their decisions and ratings about new projects.And its actually funny to see they list bitcoin as a bad crypto to invest. :D

Really? Is there really a website that list BTC as a bad crypto to invest? LOL! That's ridiculous. Back to the topic, I don't believe too much in crypto rating. The reason is that those websites are too easy to be manipulated by money. Therefore, they not really do the job based on the real information. I prefer doing my own research and looking for others experiences as well as comments throughout the market. Do not believe completely in any ranking sites if you don't want to invest to an unworthy project!

I remember wayback when ICOBENCH was like the benchmark for rating crypto ICO projects and many crypto investors totally believed anything on that platform. Little did investors know that, those ratings are mostly paid ratings, but crypto enthusiasts got wiser along the line. Crypto rating platforms are not entirely bad per say, atleast you have a clue about certain aspects of the project, but anyone who relies on the ratings as yardstick for deciding which projects to invest in is not a wise investor.

I do not believe in any crypto ratings because of the no designated body that is established by any Govt. nor any central authority which will rate the crypto and the market. So, the ratings which are published in any website and the any local news is only their own conduct of research not based on any proved evidence. So, always put your own research while buying of crypto.

Looks at the OP, he says that site listed BTC in that way.They are doing their business by creating ratings for the cryptos, so newbies might get attracted if the site has been shown on the first pages while we search on internet.

Find your own way, don't rely on any crypto rating sources, figure out what makes a crypto project a good project to invest on, most crypto rating sources are so misleading

I remember in 2017 and 2018, various tables with ratings of upcoming ICO projects were very popular. Many followed Ian Balina, and as a result, this friend turned out to be a bad adviser, who gave more than he praised. And there were plenty of people like him. All these crypto ratings should be viewed with skepticism.

Crypto ratings are nonsense, investors shouldn't rely on rating websites, most websites rate a project with good rating to deceive investors or fool them so they can invest, you need to be very careful with crypto ratings

I don't believe in crypto ratings sites because most of the ratings may be fake by those behind the project, The project may be scam and pay the listing fees for the ratings site to deceive investors. These sites may be useful if the investor uses them to know the accurate information about the project and to know the activities of the project's social sites media and benefit from the answers of the project team about the questions and concerns of investors.

now we don't have to trust crypto ratings, now we are only smarter doing research and also choosing wisely how the future of crypto exists today. because if we only trust the rating marks of the research, we will be trapped into an adverse thing

well, the ranking can usually be made according to the request of the project owner, depending on how much it costs to make the project look attractive. This scenario is often used by fraudsters to lure investors, so I remember myriads and hashcards, the ranking is good but ends up being a scam.
Do not make a rating website as the only material for analysis, we must have another basic analysis and not only depend on the website. do not easily believe in the invitations and assumptions of influential people, or you will only regret not having a conviction.

I agree with you. It is best to carefully evaluate and observe the community of the project because if they have investment needs then they will surely have many questions for the project. I am very good at analyzing which projects are potential and which are risky so nothing is too difficult for me. However, once you invest, you should accept that you may lose money at any time because no one can predict what will happen.

For me the only reliable rating site for now is ICOdrops. Its still active and giving out some great news on cryptocommunity. But the listed platform on OP are not that great even those two compared. Different perspective from technical people on blockchain is common. Some prefered actually those huge hype, some based on its product and some focus on tokenomics and market liquidity. I guess ICO rating sites are not worth to read anymore or depend on.

now the market is very difficult to predict and for that we don't trust any rankings about crypto because I see predictions like that are just bullshit, so keep doing your own research before investing so you don't lose a lot of money

I believe in rating but not to this kind of rating where the obvious is not reflected, Eos is on the 12th place so how did it happen that it landed in the first place what are the criteria that it surpass the top 10 coins in the market, and obviously Bitcoin is the leading coin in the market by volume and adoption.

I think in market place everything now going for give and take. I also do not believe in single site for ICO ranking or crypto rating because everyone now working now for paid. Basically from first their intention goes to establish a popular site so that later they can income from this site for paid. From beginning they do some extra ordinary works to prove their site is legal for ratings and one time when it establish to market then they go for paid, nothing else. Its one kind of income policy i think.

thanks.

That's so true! We're in a business field, everything is all about money. Nobody gives their time doing research and ranking for free! They all want to earn some profits. Even though I don't blame those site owners, I don't believe in those sites. I rather doing my own research and consider others' advice than believe in something that can easily be manipulated!

Crypto ratings are good for a purpose and that is knowing which project is on top ranks, I use coinmarketcap and coingecko ratings only, any other platforms different from these two I won't trust, websites like icorating and icobench are even worst become projects pays to get ranks on them.

I only believe if they are big and reputable sites in this market, there are many new ranking sites now and they are not really reputable. They make misleading assessments that leave many people stuck with bullshit projects, and make your own project judgments with your experience.

To some extent one need to be careful with crypto rating platform, as to the question each platform has basis for ranking which is been done after some analysis have been carried out, the analysis used by the first one will be different from the one used by the second one, so basis can make different platform give different rating at a point in time.

You need to be careful around crypto rating platforms, most platforms rate projects because they are paid to do so, making decisions because a coin or token has good rating is wrong, there are different reasons why a project is successful, that's on you to find out

Crypto rating platforms can be used as a reference only since most of them are paid by developers for marketing, exposure, and good ratings or review. It is still best if you will conduct your own research when investing rather than being dependent on other people's or website's review.

Some crypto ratings are paid for advertisement and to boost its visibility in crypto space,
But there are other crypto ratings that give fair and legitimate ratings to different top coins.

Previously, I still tried to somehow believe in various ratings of cryptocurrencies, but then I realized that all these ratings can be bought and now I don't even look at these ratings so as not to waste my time, and therefore now I usually orient myself by cmc and various ratings do not interest me.

Never believe in just on the source of information, if you want to be sure in that information you have, you need to check that on other places too. And if you are still not sure, try to ask experienced people and about their opinion. I don't trust crypto rating sites, I use them to check some basic info about some projects, that's all!

Yes, be careful of all projects that have become mandatory for everyone, because many victims of fraud occur through trusting the project and falling asleep with the promises made by the project, so be aware or cautious I feel it is mandatory for all person.

Many crypto ratings are manipulated, so the best way is to always find out from the various sources and how with the project feedback, positif or not?. I don't believe in crypto rating.

Never believe crypto ratings. Anything can be fake. Crypto rating sites are not charity projects. Their analysts, copywriters and other stuff need to eat aka receive salary. Where do they get money ? From writing fake or misleading articles, creating charts and review. The rule is simple, the one who pays more gets higher rating.

There is nothing wrong with checking out those ratings, especially when you’re a newbie and you need help to navigate through the cryptocurrency market/community. And I’d like to add that you shouldn’t be relying on just one source to be getting information like this, seriously how can you be trusting a source that rates Bitcoin as one of the worst cryptocurrency?

Check other sources by using Google you will see that most places Bitcoin is rated as the number one cryptocurrency, then it is followed by Ethereum, Litecoin, and some really good cryptocurrencies. I have been here for a long time and I don’t need any rating site to tell me that Bitcoin is the number one.

you just need to do an independent analysis of the project and not just look at the table that an unknown person gave you. In that way you will be safe.

I do not believe in all these ratings of a thing, rather what I believe in is what a platform offers and to what extent the idea or use case from that platform has touched lives positively. Also, all these are personal or organisations opinions thus subjective to review, in the same way, their opinions can still be altered towards a particular angle just to benefit a certain number of people. In addition, there was a time these rating platforms where much and we saw the devastating effects it caused as most scam projects were even given good ratings. Hence my opinion is, stick to those crypto with good use case and as for new projects, make your research about them.

Can not be 100 percent believable even what they say that it is a project has a high rating is not necessarily certainly the project will be a success. We can not predict something clearly. Just enough predictions and sure that this project is suitable for investing.

Unfortunately, many people trust the "beautiful wrapper". It is enough for some crypto blogger, even if not with a very large number of subscribers, to make a pseudo analysis and say with confidence that this project is the future of bitcoin. And some people will believe him and invest in the project.

Normally I don't belive of any kind of crypto rating cause many of them are promotions. Here I am talking about website based rating. But ccid rating is a very much another thing. Cause in china there is a government agency to do that. So they have other thoughts and in this rating you will see a very normal thing that is Chinese blockchain companies are more preferred than other blockchain based companies. And it's very normal. So I think it's okay when you see a countries gov registered rating. It's based on their implementation idea and many more thing.

No, I can't easily trust the ranking of any ICO site because most of them are paid to display valid real project data and only to attract market investment. My advice is that you don't have to rely on ICO sites and stay alert before putting your money into any project.

I was believing in ICObench until i found some red flags there.
It was a scam project, listed on ICObench before they launch the token sale.
I think not every crypto rating websites are real, some of them are only paid rating websites.

crypto ratings can be bought so don't trust projects just because of rankings but take a deeper look at the project itself, I used to be stuck in a lot of scam projects because I believed too much in crypto ratings.

I don't think anyone considers rankings for reference and nobody cares much about them. I've noticed that people regularly visit coinmarketcap.com to review the market, and almost all altcoins track Bitcoin's price movements.
The above rankings of CCID (The China Center for Information Industry Development) may be useful to investors but they only contribute to market direction slightly. In addition to the chart above, there are also hundreds of other charts that we created ourselves. In my opinion, the most important thing about a good crypto is high returns.

I've also been trapped in Scam project, because I looked on Crypto ratings, That's right, Crypto ratings can be bought so bad projects can get high ratings, and of course it makes investors or bounty hunters trapped. At this time I no longer believe in Crypto ratings, you better check the project that you are joining.

Crypto rating does not guarantee the project will succeed. Sometimes projects that do not have a rating are even successful in the market and have survived until now.

Things has changed a lot now, ratings does not matter anymore, what matters most is what exchange the project is listed.
If the project is listed in big exchanges, automatically, people will invest and that would create some hype and a certain project will gain a decent volume.

If listed in big exchanges does not guarantee that many people will invest, because not all projects will be interest many people, only potential projects will get many investors.

That's why you should always seek information from various sources about the project as some crypto ratings are being manipulated, beware

rating in cryptocurrency can of course help to invest, on CoinMarketCap there is already a ratings feature,
try visiting CoinMarketCap and select one of the coins on the list and, and open the ratings menu, you will see the score of the project or altcoin.

   Rating can help only for initial visualization of the crypto-market, to understand the values and their current position. It's just be
just a beginning of the research you plan to conduct when you are deciding to invest in crypto-market. Don't invest solely on
info you got from the rating sites, rating is just a current situation and rating of coins is changing.

None at all because most of those who do the ratings or.surveys are being paid and then their surveys will become biased based on the the payments that the crypto team had paid them. The ranking system of the said ratings is most likely influenced by payments. This is why we should not consider survey oe rating as exact thing for a reference when one needed a statistical reports or references. Well, make your own survery so as to make sure of the things you want to know. You can even so it here in the forum.

Cryptocurrency ratings is a good way to compare new and old Alternate Coins since the users will be able to see that there are different platforms that are being used in the Cryptocurrency Industry. It would also be good to know that a majority of people are willing to rate some Cryptocurrencies for the benefit of anybody else. You can actually do some research after looking at some ratings and from there, you can come up with your own opinion.

Very helpfull to distinguish between other altcoins I like to look for crypto rankings on coinmarketcap, there is very complete and easy to understand continues to be easy to understand and the information provided is very satisfying

I don't understand what the ratings are used for. Everyone is looking for profitable sides for themselves in any coin or token, correlates them with risk and makes a decision for investment

I think crypto rating websites are better used as a guide not to trust them because each of them are gotten out of personal opinions therefore I don't think it is wise to use the personal opinion of someone or group of people to decide how good a cryptocurrency is or will become. So therefore, I do not trust them but can use them to get several Information about a particular token, which of course is subject to more reviews and so on.

 I feel like if you could do a proper version of this, you could actually make it work a bit, not a whole lot but a bit in order to get people to actually use you. Think of brave browser, it is nowhere near the opera, firefox, chrome, safari type of browser, it is not even near that level, however some people use it and that is why I think it is possible to make the youtube version of crypto rating as well. People would shoot their own videos, edit their own videos and publish their own videos and without any other third party app other advertisement agencies and so forth will pay to those people who do it, so there will not be a youtube taking a big cut from their income. Hell if they want they can get paid in crypto and try to hide their income and not even pay their taxes as well. So it is totally possible, not saying this is it, but the idea is possible.

I totally agree with you. Crypto ratings can be beneficial if we know how to use it. I personally take crypto rating as a preference to do my own researches. However, it is important to choose which crypto rating site we will use. Because many crypto rating sites are manipulated by developers that rate their projects unrealistically. You're right that we should stick to the developments of the coin itself!

The OP ratings is bias because it usually come from a continent where they prioritize projects that come from there continent. Most of the projects maybe doing fine in the market but have not achieved enough to have risen to that position ahead of some better coin. Even after the regular publish of the ratings they have not outperformed existing projects. Rating sites has really decline and those involved gone out of job from the bear market, some things happen in bull market that does not happen in the bear, we might see them come around again but everyone will need his research though their coin might be first recommendation.

Crypto ratings are rated to the writers taste, do not forget this, anyone can just edit and reshape to their own tastes, so tell me why would anyone trust such rating? I can only trust ratings that consists of very popular or well known projects in crypto space like Litecoin, BNB, Ethereum, BCH etc

The only crypto rating site that I like for now is ICOdrops. They really have a good data presentation on the project but nor ignore the fundamentals of giving away a correct and valuable rating. I hope many will be like them, and not just go for shilling and cause investors are easily attracted to a lot of new projects especiallyon defi. I hate some influencers on social media even though the project sucks they still shill it.

What good can a crypto rating do for you? Coinmarketcap rated all coins based on their marketcap and volumes, that's what you should trust about ratings, not self rated website like that one on OP post, do your own research instead of trusting ratings

Maybe the rating is considered a popular project or can be trusted for investment but is actually wrong.

Do you remember the ICObench case which used to have a good reputation because it could provide an accurate assessment for the ICO project that was held but now everything changes when they provide good reputation facilities with a certain minimum payment in my opinion it is no longer good because I have to bribe icobench to provide good reputation.

There are many rating providers for the crypto who claim that they are the renowned agency and their ratings and reviews will get the effect on the market. But, in my wisdom, I think there is no rating agency that can gauge the crypto market accurately. So, Always keep faith upon yourself and find your prediction for the crypto market with your own experience. These days the Gold Man & Sach, Retures, Moodys are also claiming that they are accurately predicting the market for the cryptocurrency. But, as the crypto market is not regulated and most of the exchanges are traded in a decentralized basis and the price fluctuations also very imbalance. So, how can one predict the such a market?

AFAIK, crypto ratings are being paid to give a positive rating for a certain project. Even those project that is not good enough is receiving a good feedback because of money. I do not believe in crypto ratings because of that reason, there are so many victims of a scam and fake projects.

Aside from rating site most of the projects there also advertisers who are influential who are using their social status to shill and get paid. In my opinion this is not good cause they dont really prioritize the or educate the investors and traders regarding it. Most likely crypto ratinf sites are not different especially the ICObench that fortunately deads already.

The website you say shows only a relative analysis of the project, I can even say that is the basic information that the web has gathered, it is not decisive for me or many people to believe because such information is easy to find, mainly requiring more time, many projects can still deceive these rankings with some money or some fake information. Up until now, I only rely on information that a group on my telegram updates, they are on the same boat and have a captain, their reviews will be very accurate and not subjective as the review sites do

I would take these ratings with a pinch of salt if I were you. What's the point of having decentralization if you are gonna believe the rating issued by some analyst.

icobench has long been dead when they launched a disbursement program that has the aim of conducting an assessment and providing a review immediately that the platform is no longer in demand because fewer people believe in icobench anymore because everything can be manipulated with money.

In my opinion, every rating has some extent of subjectivity which makes the rating more like an opinion. The ratings in this space is more subjective and could be manipulated. I don't fall for these ratings anymore because I know to get good ratings one may need to be proactive.

No need to me ICO rating sites at the moment because I'm not in a hurry to invest in any ICO project. I want to invest in IEO so i don't need ICO rating site for it but anyway ICO rating site is worthless now. I have seen several ICO rating sites that have become useless for the sole reason that they included scam schemes as the highest rating.

I've made errors in the past when I entrusted my funds to a project I consider legit because of the ratings it got. It turns out that the project was not as it seemed and the ratings were bought. I lost trust in ratings especially the ICO ratings and won't advise anyone to depend on the ratings from any rating website or platform.

These stats and ratings are just for reference and may have different factors than we can think of.
Personally i go with my own heart and mind and do not give much weightage to such stats.

for me, any crypto site will not guarantee your safety. Not that I don't believe but the fact that most of the ICO sites are not safe, they show top projects only to get public attention especially about money. Someone pays a site to market their project to make it look real and of course this is to attract the attention of investors too. Is not it?

I can categorically say that I don't believe in cryptocurrency ratings. This is because from my experience the ratings are based on a great deal of subjectivity. This explains why there was a clear difference between two notable rating companies. I'll rather make my own research and hold on to my discerning ability, than depending on the ratings.

What is the measure of the rating you show in this thread ? I don't trust 100% of this crypto ratings.
Even Ethereum, the 2nd most popular cryptocurrency in the world got 3rd rank in this rating.
Usually, the rating comes from the value of the coins because the better the coin, the more its value.

there is money then the project can get a ranking maybe in a very good ranking and for that do not ever believe in the project rating, because many rating sites manipulate, it's best to do your own research

Crypto ratings can't be trusted, don't rely on them, do your own research, money can be made from any project either old or new, either popular or not, find your own way and take your risks limitedly, goodluck

Is that a reason to trust crypto ratings? I think a lot of people don't trust crypto ratings for various reasons.

According to these ratings EOS and Tron are the best cryptocurrencies? Are you kidding me? Look at the price, look at the news and updates, these coins seem to be dead already.  ::) :D

First in the rating, everyone should have the project that will bring the most profit. I have no other criteria for assessment

It's funny how some people will invest heavily on coins based on some rating platforms, meanwhile different rating platforms have different best picks. Personal assessment of any project before investing is key, not otherwise. Gone are the days when I invest in projects based on rating platforms or say this project is dope when given top ratings. Some of these ratings are paid ratings or biased, that's what many fail to understand.

It's pretty obvious that those ratings are paid one because the rating is very much different from reality it's just meant to manipulate the opinion of people why would they rank Bitcoin as top assets when in reality it is the top assets or preferred investment, something are wrong on these rating sites.

In some way, I still do believe in the ratings of crypto especially for those reliable sources but I still have doubts with some crypto rating website because some of it are giving a good rating for those project that turns out to be fake or became a scam website. And also, this crypto rating is for me to just a way attract many investors.

there are tons of ico rating sites and all of them are not necessarily accurate, in fact most of them are not authentic, i saw icodrops which is the most accurate of all ico rating sites i have ever seen.
I don't know about you, but it looks like you should try it and compare it with other sites, (most of those on icodrop that are already successful or who are about to hold ico projects have good reviews that's why projects with low integrity are always not found there).

I have no idea the cause of such huge difference between the two ratings. And a lot of things is wrong with the ratings. I don't believe totally in crypto ratings because they can be easily bought and manipulated. Though they can help in better decision making, but should not be solely used as criterion for investing in cryptocurrencies. The source or the entity rating these crypto should be credible, tested and trusted before further belief.

I don't really base my investment decisions on ICO rating sites ore comparison spreadsheets.
Those spreadsheets are always designed to show that the project that is advertising with the spreadsheet is capable of so much more than all the other projects which they are comparing to.
They do this by cherrypicking the parameters which they are the best or good compared to others and just leave out all the other parameters which are maybe way more important.

investment in ICO is currently no longer valuable, you better try to invest by buying bitcoin because the more people who buy bitcoin, the less bitcoin supply will be and the more difficult it will be to get bitcoin which ultimately makes bitcoin price expensive and will provides many advantages when you have bitcoin.

I don't believe crypto rating websites as you do. The best profits are in new altcoins, but all new altcoins aren't good. We shouldn't believe in crypto rating but we can get some information from those websites. At least I have a top listed name to verify by my technique.

I never watch ratings and statistics. They aren't very important in my opinion.

What matters is your own research and what the coin has to offer. Like if you compare the market cap of XRP to ETH they are very close to each other but XRP is a worthless centralized shitcoin made only to make its creators richer.

Numbers will be numbers ;)

We still need a that can genuinely do the rating, although quite difficult to find. This is why i sometimes always stand on the point that rating sites are no more needed. Since most people do their research by themselves and are still able to judge well between good project and the bad ones, then we had better stick to that, than to be skeptical about our decisions, which originally is not ours.

Sometimes Crypto rating can't be standars for a good project. But Crypto rating can help to review a new projects.
I personally use icobench and icoholder to research about new projects . It can help to get profiles in their projects.

Information like what? If you don't believe in crypto ratings then why do you still use it as a source of information? I don't think that it is a good idea since it can lead you to having a lot of false information. Why not try to avoid it if in the first place, you don't believe the crypto ratings.

The reason for that is because crypto ratings gets paid. They publish ratings depends on how they want it to be. Just the same as the example, it shows positive review for bitcoin, and the other one is negative. It means that the other crypto rating website is against bitcoin or they have any other reason to make it look like a bad investment for everyone.

Before you believe in crypto ratings, you should find out first, how these crypto ratings work. Not a few dirty businesses are running in 2020 because money can change everything.

just as an experience, that there used to be a famous ICO Rating website called ICOB * NCH ... to be listed there and get positive reviews, you have to pay a certain amount of Bitcoin. If you don't pay, then your project won't shine on the website. Developers who pay for this, usually use recognition from ICOB * NCH as a marketing medium.

And again, people are being fooled into the hope that the trustworthiness of a big website is a sign of a good project

I don't believe in cryptocurrency ratings most especially those websites that are paid to rate the ICO/IEO projects. Their ratings are usually highly and most of the projects they rate so high fails to deliver and stand the trial of time.

I don't trade or buy any digital asset based on ratings. Most often that none, they are influence and cannot be taking to be a real source for any investment.

I myself don't believe in cryptocurrency ranking, because data from coins can be manipulated by site managers, both in terms of transaction volume and other matters related to the quality of the coin itself, it all depends on the payment provided by the coin.

The more money they gave, the higher their ranking. That's it :).

These kind of ratings are just similar to the ICO ratings way back 2-3 years ago where investors are basing which project to invest on the ratings on the project in the ICO rating website. I don't believe in these kind of ratings for some reasons but I'm not saying too that some of these aren't real. Maybe there are some which are true.

Let be honest, crypto ratings are outdated and weren't in its prime time anymore. When ICO and new projects pop up everywhere around 2017, yes we need some crypto ratings to remove low-tier project but today, crypto ratings weren't useful anymore so you don't need to care about them or different between each crypto rating agency.

You are right about a terrible truth about the ranking pages of crypto projects, outside of the sparkles and good reviews of trends and programs of a project, it's just an advertising contract, developers want the best view of them and they do it with their money, I also believe in some ratings on a 10 or 5 point scale, all of which are very high but unfortunately, to succeed and get listed isn't their last path, disappearing is the only thing they do. There are very few projects that can guarantee the quality as currently evaluated, this life is too difficult

I dont care any of the crypto ratings,what i care about is the price of token what i hold in my wallet.I would not to buy crypto due to their high rating.Just because i think  in order to survive,whatever websit  is hard to avoid pleasing their sponsors ,and the result is obviously hard to convince. 

Crypto currency project ratings are supposed to be an additional guide to potentially expose you to more facts. Also, A crypto project rating does not mean that the project is good enough, it only means that the project passed the rating website bare minimum criteria.  Do i believe in such ratings? No, i do not. I rather do further research about such claims.

Yeah, also i haven’t seen such crypto rating sites. Because mostly we are useful to search ICO & IEO rating websites as like icobench,icodrop,iconow but i don’t believe rating on those sites. I see a same project but different ratings in these sites, definitely here mostly paid ratings.            

Crypto ratings, benchy websites, all of them are paid to list a coin. There is a simple rule, more you pay, better rating you get. I didn´t see any honest independent crypto rating company. They rather take money from developers than spending a lot of hours researching for nothing :).

Yes, it's best to do your own research than believing the crypto rating agency and their mismatch in the report from different agencies. Their rating comes with the cost of pushing their agenda toward any coin they have invested anyways.

Personally I don't believe in most of them. Mainly which one are website based. But here it's a different case. But its fine if two rating's are different from each other. Each crypto rating providers measure different factors. For example those who provide Chinese crypto rating are always prefer Chinese projects. That's why they prefer eos ,neo wanchain rather than eth. Cause these projects have great community in china. So they prefer these projects. And in certain point this is absolutely fine.

I haven't paid attention to crypto ratings since 2018. After the hard crash on Bitcoin price and many other altcoin, those ratings mean worthless too me. All about the crypto market and crypto rating company won't able to lead it anywhere they want to, manipulate their rating reports.

oh no, I just believed how the project worked in the first 3 months since the crypto coin was released. because it is real proof crypto coins seem to provide potential or not

Almost everyone doesn't trust ratings because it can be manipulated. I think the rating is only for additional information to find out about these projects such as CMC and Coingecko.

That's right, that's what I wanted to say. It is also necessary to clarify which parameter is taken into account when creating a rating

crypto rankings were very popular in the past and back then when a project had the top ranking 99% would experience success when running an ICO/token sale. because many people didn't know that it could be manipulated with money. everyone is getting smarter to do research, who only believe current crypto rankings only new people

many investors who believe about crypto ranking including myself because from the rating we can judge how much interest in coin it is and we can find out which exchangers for coin it usually the coin with the highest rating is a coin that is guaranteed and suitable for future investment

it's just a rating. it's similar with the ICO rating. if the rating is high, it doesn't mean that is a coins. it's don't affect anything with their price. also this kind of rating can be used to make a false news. so, for me crypto rating is doesn't too important.

I also did the same thing by looking at the position in the rating to deepen the analysis, because there is some data that we can find on the project.

Find the reason behind the rating, this must be your first aim because most are rated for different reasons

Coinmarketcap use highest marketcap for ranking and also coingecko too but others can do their rating for likes or interest they have on the projects

There are no more references that we have to use other than what is already available, but we may not trust and be able to analyze for ourselves if you do have data, but collecting data is not as easy as we imagine. As long as there is still CMC and Coingecko, we will use it according to our needs, which we can indeed trust because everyone can also play to improve rankings. but will it not tarnish an already well-made reputation?

I don't think the site is trustworthy.Works for any site rating.It acts as a fake.However, there are some trusted sites.That can be believed.For that, I must believe in some sites and consider the rating.

Yes, just to see in order to make sure the data is correct I don't think it is a problem and it is only natural that everyone should do it, because basically using the crypto ranking is just an additional reference.

So the fact that coinmarketcap was recently acquired by Binance doesn't bother you? And the fact that now its ratings can be affiliated!? I would, for greater confidence, use information from several resources in your place!

I think nothing really can be trusted in rating cryptocurrency because most people in getting a rating on a rating platform or website are required to pay a fee, this is based on my own experience as a news listing service provider in several media

Ratings are good, of course, and you can trust them or not, but you cannot ignore them. Any information can be slightly corrected in one direction or another, depending on the wishes of the customer, the question of price, and that's all. There is no more trust in anyone, you can rely only on yourself and your knowledge. You can't fool yourself.

I personally do not believe in any ICO ranking site, before I invested in a project it was certainly based on my own research results. I know that ICO ranking sites are paid, and do not guarantee that their data is correct. So, think logically and not to trust any ICO site.

It is the proper way for you not to be victimized by any scam projects, rating site can be manipulated and if you'll based your investment according to them  the big chance that you'll be scam by those developers.


Most of the time ICO's are just full of junked you'll charts but complete fakes data. be well aware to avoid losing your money.

I think different services and then high personal opinion of the rating agencies I think Mostly it has to do with geographical regions and then maybe some adverts attached to the rating I mean EOS is a good coin but there is absolutely no way it can over take BTC in rating but then maybe they have another perspective of look

For preventing getting scammed by fake reviews we need the reliability checked, controlled review platforms. Last year, there was a token sales-focused Ravein platform which has been based on honest reviews but till now have no idea what projects have followed this path. Logical reasons are not compulsory to invest in the "proven" projects because there will be a bias of other people. No one can guarantee the concrete return on the investment but they can influence the mass opinion. This is the point we need to change the feedback system in our favor in order to avoid getting scammed by scam projects.

Thats true.
Much better to have our own research. Crypto ratings sites are not reliable to depend our decision based on their ratings for each project. It can be manipulated by the project owner thus its not reliable at all.

Every rating is made on some criteria and these two ratings may built on their own special criteria. That's why result are different. If you make a rating on current month sell you will get a result. If you built the rating on one year sell, you will get another result. If you make a rating on the basis of popularity, or price rise or price fall, you will get different results. So, first you should know on which criteria those rating has been made.

The only rating sites that I believe in when it comes to Cryptocurrency rating are the obvious ones, if you are a trader and investors you know what and who should and who should not be in the list, I see that they did not rank the obvious ones in the top, I don't know their exact parameters, it seems manipulated, these rating sites can rate all they want but traders and investors know the truth when it comes to market performance.

I suppose that crypto ratings which are released by different countries has highly subjective and it doesn't reflect market right. I just beleive on ratings of neutral agencies

That's most likely. there's always difference in how they usually rating a crypto and whether it's from legal perspective or any other. It's up to the people to choose which crypto rating that is deemed to be trustable.
I'm myself would never trust them though simply because I'm overly skeptical of anything like that.

It also helps to find out which coin exchanges are traded, website, total supply, etc. it is useful information on the crypto rating.

and no need to believe. I believe that all these sites take money to increase the rating of the project, but the only one thing which I look at is that if the project is not on any site, then it is a scam

When I want to analyze a new project to invest in, the thing I pay attention to is the ICO Rating first. In Crypto Rating we get complete data about the project. The greater the rating, the better the quality of the project. I use ICOBench as a basis for evaluating a project's ICO on its rating.

I agree that it is not necessary to believe and rely solely on these crypto rating sites. These sites, based on what you stated, can be used as references but doing your own research is much better.

Crypto ratings can definitely help us if we are doing our research, for instance, projects.
But I also agree that we should we skeptic, all the time, of the information we see online.
Thereby, it will always be upon us if we are going to solely depend on a particular source of information.

Most of the time no. A lots of rating site available and most of them rate ico or ieo projects and and my st of them are highly biased. I always do my research by myself. But yeah the two rating you talked about one month f them are Chinese rating. And most of the time rating depends on many factors. When a Chinese site or rating agency give their rating they have some protocol to follow cause Chinese government involved in that. And most of the Chinese rating agencies prefer Chinese products like eos tron gxchain neo than other currencies. So it's there choose. You can pick yourself what suits you.

I don't believe in any kind of rating site for new projects because they are a third party broker group where they can give high rating to scam project due to money. I have enough experience to search for a good project so it is foolish for me to take help from rating site. So i will never accept a rating site for my invest.

With cryptocurrency no one has the ability to predict the market changes precisely. Even the experts give predictions based on the previous market history and not relative to the network. Crypto rating too the same, because at times there'll be coincidence on the reality and coincidence. The same won't happen everytime. Same as this, ratings need to be considered as a point of market and then analyse about the market. This will help with immediate decision.

If you look at the crypto rating depending on which platform you will use, at least I use CMC and coingecko to take references. Sometimes it is necessary to pay a few btc to enter the platform, and sometimes the platform volunteers to list new coins because of the performance and uniqueness of the coin.

I agree with you that the risk of a rating site having a personal agenda is there. We don't know what kind of agreements are being made behind the scenes to provide advertisement for a special alt coin.

However, a rating site always trys to be independent. So if there would be a big story of a rating site promoting a coin which turns out be a hoax, that would ruin their trust factor.

Ratings can be a good indicator how risky a coin is, but we should always do our own research and not just trust blindly a rating.

I remember multiple projects that got the score "high" or "very high" on IcoDrops back in 2017 and 2018 and now they are nowhere to be found. So even highly respected crypto rating services/sites are wrong quite often. Now take a look at IcoBench and other "pay for a high score" sites and you will rapidly loose all of the trust in this crypto niche.

Eventually we have to review the cases to make the  exactly output . In some ways rating in basis it can upside down. We cannot depends on that, see how it works but in the end there are reason to believe.

no i don't, because i only believe in my analysis my friend
i hope people will do their own research rather than believe in a crypto ratings site

You didn't completely copy your post and didn't finish the thought))))

The EOS has never had a chance to beat Bitcoin. Especially when its developers have raised hundreds of millions of dollars in investment. I immediately said, since they have so much money, why should they do anything? That's why the developers of the EOS represent a job, doing something, but their project was not able to circumvent even the Ethereum.

If someone in a similar situation put the EOS in the first place in the rating, then someone paid money for it.

This eating of a thing has Ben foiled for quite some time now. Only newbies will believe in such baseless ratings. In those days, I used to follow the ratings of ICOBench, but in all sincerity, they have long compromised. If I am looking at any dating site, it's just for me to.look at trending projects, most especially on ICOdrops.

Crypto rating cannot guarantee that the cryptocurrency project is really good, many new projects that have a good rating end up being a scam,
we are in the crypto currency world, not in the real world, think about that before investing

For me, I dont believe in crypto ratings knowing that many of the bounty campaigns that I have joined has a good and almost perfect crypto rating but turning out to be fake and scam project but in some ways it can really be helpful to a project to attract many participants and investors.

Crypto ratings are biased. This will also depend on the likes of the author or the agency or company that they work with. If somebody pays for a good review, they will make it good.
And if there will be an opponent that wants to pay for the bad review of others, they will do it. That's how PR companies go, maybe not for all but many are like that.

After I read many responses in this thread, it turns out that many do not believe in rating sites because most of them run organizations that are paid for by these tokens or coins. I also agree, some bad coins have good ratings on rating sites, we also don't know how or what are their indicators for making these ratings. I don't really consider rating sites important, it's just that they really take some of the data and information they provide, where the information is very relevant.

Its an advantage for the project to manipulate the crypto ratings because they can get more supporters/investors.

But thats not the case for investors who are looking for a good project to invest in. Thats why its not wise to rely on crypto ratings when choosing what project seems good and has potential.

You can also use ratings coming from https://crypto.co/, it's just established last 2019 but I can say it's the most reliable source for cryptocurrencies information. They also provide the latest news from cryptocurrency. It is also connected to more than 7000 cryptocurrency exchanges and markets.

Personally, I don't believe in any ratings. Using information from such sites, I made mistakes several times and now the trust has disappeared. I think you need to trust your intuition and your analysis. And only then invest.

Some rating agencies are being paid for giving higher rating for some projects. Why? because it will help the the project to gain trust and attract investors. But I guess smart investors won't just believe what an rating site says.

That's great if you trust your own analysis because most of the crypto rating sites are purely fake.

I'm not saying all of them because some of them are almost precise but the fact is that the average crypto rating site leads to a scam that results in huge losses to potential investors.

There are many crypto rating sites that are reliable on their first run and getting crap ratings after they accept offers from different projects. They are being biased on paid ratings that lead their crypto rating site into an unreliable one. It's better to make your own research and analysis especially if you are planning to make an investment in projects. Crypto rating sites lose their integrity just by being paid and that's the reason why people lose their trust from this kind of site.

As far as i feel

Ratings/Review are very subjective towards person and when it comes to paid review or incentives ratings
It can be biased towards the project

Thus, i will be using ratings as an additional information but wouldn't use it as the primary benchmark

Thats right, dont rely too much on ratings, just like what you have said it can be bias.

So the best thing to do is exert an effort to gather information about the project you wanted to invest in and verify if the ratings given were acceptable to say that it has basis.

Dont believe easily and check everything that can lead you to know the real status of the project.

Crypto rating site is very useful, but we should not relying 100% just from the rating site.
When we want to buy some coins to hold, we must take a look into the project as well, not only from rating site.
Once we get enough information about the coin, then we can decide if we want to buy it or not.

Definitely the case even in stock market reviews which are highly regulated by SEC. The crypto ratings are not regulated and people mostly use these ratings to shill what they own and do paid promotions

Yes, it means that someone has to do research from various sides to find out the right information on a coin that he wants to buy, because if only one side is very risky as well and it is feared that the information is false or completely untrue as has been seen on several sites coin rank.

It would depend on the site if it is ratings for ICO or any initial offering crypto's then my answer would be a big "NO".
But if it would be a rating on the crypto that is already been listed to exchange and something like coinmarketcap then Yes I believe in their ratings.
But I only look on the top crypto's in the rating I don't really spend time to look for the low rating coins.

Very often, reviews are made for money, or YouTube bounty leads to the fact that there are a lot of reviews that are not true and not of high quality. I would not trust ratings either, because they are all subjective. That's right, you need to study the project yourself, but reviews and ratings can be just as supporting information.

it is an usual practice that project is paying for a good review on ICO or similar websites, and one should not trust them blindly

crypto rating sites are good to see where the project faith is at the moment, but deeper research is needed before investment, to see if particular investment is suit for your needs, since it is not easy to pick one in terms of longevity and return on investment

In fact, it is dangerous for new projects to have a trust rating because they can earn this rating for money, so look carefully. However, I have seen that many rating sites shut down and there is no update work because investors do not trust all these rating sites now. So with the advent of crypto time it has changed which is why everyone has forgotten the plot of the rating site.

The rating is some how to me as a mistake rated,that Bitcoin is in number 12 position in crypto rating which EOS came first in crypto rating. We all know that Bitcoin is so popular in cryptocurrencies compare to EOS, Ethereum, Litecoin etc.

I think the person that rated the crypto to give bitcoin 12 position, lack personal Research. Even in my country according to companies rating, they gave BTC first position among all cryptocurrencies in the world. And many investors confirmed, that some best coins they are enjoying in the market right now is Bitcoin profit.

In 2017-2018 it was a shame, ICO projects were able to buy their rating and get high scores.
Despite that, it's impossible to daily track the features of each protocol, so ratings are useful as an initial screening outcome. In addition, many crypto holders are not tech guys and have to trust third parties that perform code audit and rate the security level.

Consensys has developed a methodology for assessing risk in permissionless lending platforms, Codefi, that is an open framework for evaluating DeFi Protocols: https://codefi.consensys.net/defi-score (https://codefi.consensys.net/defi-score)

I am also working on a Defi APY tracker, using Codefi rate to make an initial selection of trusted protocols (here you can join our Yield Farming Survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0ucL_2kDmXxulbqoCt8FfPCMCogRmg7H7IzHVwHrE47e5ig/viewform?usp=sf_link)).

The crypto ratings is basically supported by an ICO or any project. So i can’t believe that ratings or anything, and i like better to have some research for myself, especially for my investment, and choose carefully.

Nice move and agree with your mind. Almost many rating site gone to death because every investors vey smart. For the new project support we need carefully looking there promising roadmap, IEO, exchange, partnership, team eth then it can great invest run myself.

I dont believe any crypto ratings or ico ratings. Because the rater suppported by the ico project it self. They did that for to make their project looking good. If you investing on cryptocurrency trust no one and make your own research and decision.

Yes, I believe projects pay the rating websites to get good websites for their project.And basically this is just an advertisement strategy and don't get attracted too much based on the rating maybe you can consider it for knowing the project name but to find potential read the discussions on public forums about that project, look at the road map and try to understand what is their main goal,etc.
