Bitcoin Forum

Hey.

I researched very much in the net. I read numerous comments in the blogs. I saw to much messages in the telegram groups. and discord forums

and I found that most of the people really don't know why they chose their coin/token. just they know their coin is good and the future is belongs to them.

The Question Is: Why You Think That Your Coin/Token Will grow? (based on what?)

That is actually what is happening because they want a bright future for something that they are campaigning for. Nobody wants to join a campaign that wont have a good result in the end. Lets take an example some Alternate Coins in the past that is still being developed today. We can take Electroneum for an example because once their campaign ended, the value of that coins was high and many people already sold them at that point. Though we can see recent updates from them that their platform is still alive and running which is still good even though the price of the coin reached a low value. We cannot actually determine on how and why the value of our tokens will grow but I think that will be dependent to the fact that the creators and developers of the platform and the people who are willing to support it throughout its growth.

Large investment funds invest in my coin, and they are definitely interested in selling for more than they bought.

Based of projects utilities and team professions you can spot new projects that will be big in future, put aside ICO projects, we have IEO as the best option to raise money for new projects but still some projects can't go for the best exchanges, I belief such projects are weak, top exchanges have a vital role to play right now

I believe on Bitcoin, there're a lot things why Bitcoin will grow:

• 1. Has been survived for 10 years and the largest domination (59% from 6,494 coins/tokens) [1]
• 2. Bitcoin already get mass adoption, and it's very easy to exchange... because almost (probably all) exchange offering Bitcoin
• 3. Nothing can beat Bitcoin, even on 2018-2019 got massive dump ($3,500)

Because I know it and I've researched on it.

I'm for bitcoin and ethereum, biggest coins on my stash and others do this too. It's like the safest cryptocurrencies to invest in these times. You'll have no headache with it.

Some of us got our coins on projects being offered online. And these projects we get into often offer coins that dont have or has less value at that time. Eventually on group chats that i get into i get to learn more about these coins and the projects that they back into. What really catches my interest is when these projects seem like they offer achievable goals.

The foundation, real use cases and pro teams are what determines the outcome of a new project, this is why we've been told severally to do our research on new projects very well, but to be on safer side many go with popular projects in crypto space and I think it's true, for new crypto investors popular altcoins are more safer

Because I do believe that the history will repeat itself. What happened during 2016-2017 will also happen sooner or later. I just believe in ethereum that's why I know it will grow, just like what we are seeing right now, ethereum continues to grow.

As far as I understand, the tokens/coins that you have can increase, either in the form of coins or currency when you exchange these coins, if the value of these coins goes up and down.

I mean this.
If you have a certain coin/token and you trade buy/sell on the exchange automatically if the price of the coin increases in value, the selling value will increase, and you buy it again when the price drops.

Based on the way you exchange, that's where your coins/tokens can be multiplied, a buy/sell system.

if my understanding is not wrong with your question.

Many Crypto lovers believe that Altcoin season will coming, so they keep holding some tokens / coins in their wallets. I personally also still hold some tokens / coins on my wallet, I am sure that at the end of 2021 Crypto prices will be same as in 2017. So prepare your assets now.

The growth of an altcoin depends on the dev team managing it. Because if they don't have goals for the project and no developments going on, I don't think it is smart to hold them. You will know if they have active development if there is improvement with their network or real updates not only talk.

It's because most of traders or investors are really new in the market. And they are just basing everything on news they found in crypto social related sites. And if they found that someone or some groups are shilling, they readily believed that it is going to go and that coins will grow. Unfortunately, altcoins are just being used by pump-and-dump groups.

Regarding your question: a coin will grow if they really have something to offer and the project is something unique. Or the people behind has some really great idea and potentially will partner with big company to utilised their tokens.

I usually look at various fundamentals. I also check the Team out and see if they are real and are doing what they are supposed to be doing. I check out capital injections and partnerships.deals the project has. I see the niche it is in and is it solving a problem or providing a much needed service and of course I see the market and what trajectory the project is going in. I see projects like CARDANO fulfilling the problems the unbanked people have. I see band for example helping provide accurate data in the DeFi space. So many projects to choose from but we need to check out their credentials first.

For me, I choose my Coin/Token primarily based on its popularity, I mean when I find there is a Coin/Token that has great popularity, I know that this Coin is good and has a future because people actually use it, the future of any Coin depends on the extent to which people accept it and their use of this Coin, take bitcoin for example, there are many One of the Coin that has much better features than Bitcoin, such as speed in transfers, low fees, and so on, but because of its great popularity, it surpassed all of these features and maintained its position permanently.

Same as me! I usually invest in popular coins that many people already invested in them. By doing so, I can reduce the risk of investing in a bad project. In my opinion, only good projects can attract a lot of investors. Therefore, I only invest in those projects that have reputation throughout the market. For short-term trading, I will use my TAs to analyze to see whether the coin is in uptrend or not then decide to buy or sell.

I invest on a certain coin that I know it will grow because I just search their project. If their project has the improvement and what's their future goals that they will implement.Just like bitcoin and ethereum if you followed the path from the start you will know how it increase in the market and it also has strong support from the community.

I invest in a coin that is found to be useful or will have a impact or difference in the future. Like in Bitcoin and ETH many projects and organizations is able to use this platform to create products that will give easy access as well security to the investors. To be able to invest properly if not top cryptocurrencies we must atleast knew that such project will serve its purpose, there are many token now that are considered useless and called shitcoin for a reason.

Based on the project's technology, team dev, their partners .. There are many reasons that could cause the project to grow. If the project meets one of these criteria, it will certainly thrive in the future

the reason is because of development. this is the reason why I bought a coin. the future is unpredictable, as long as they do development there will be opportunities to rise. for example take a look at ethereum. This coin has a development team that is focused on making updates to make this coin acceptable to everyone, and take a look at ethereum's pricing.

It looks like you just get speculators who have been investing in the crypto caused by the instant return. I think that my coin will grow based on what has already offered. Product is the main thing to determine how will be the future price of my token.

they were talking to people that invest on ico coins because these people will only try thier luck or will buy coins based on others feedback but deep inside they dont know the real truth about the coin that they picked up  .

while to non ico investors they are 99 percent sure on what they are getting  . its not that they think thier coin will grow but theres already a proof and it already happen many times

Mate, cryptocurrency investment is more on speculation and we cannot dictate the possible outcome even if the project is good and promising Let say it has a unique use case and working product but sometimes shits still happens without warning, so it's like a gamble in my opinion and the only thing we can do is to be sure that the project we have invested is legitimate and not a fraud.   

I only buy coins that make technical updates. if the project team is constantly working on development, this means that the price will rise, but no one knows when

That is not entirely true, if you are a interested in investing in a project or a coin you need to learn the technical aspect of the project and how it is different from the thousands of other coins and projects in the market and if you start investing blindly you are taking a risk of washing away your capital and no one in the right sense would do that. The first thing you need to understand is never fall for the hype and if you think that you can make a quick profit make sure you follow the market to jump in and out on time.

I think it can be used as a challenge in the cryptocurrency world because there is a very terrible risk that can give a lot of profit when you can be patient and not be affected by any bad news, if there is no feeling then the solution might be to do short-term trading or fast trading.

We need to have hope, so we can still survive in the unpredicted season, especially when we are in a long time bear market.
But yes, many people are buying the coin without doing research, and they only follow other people saying.
That will not be good for you, especially if you want to make a profit because you will never get the right coin to invest or to trade.
If they say that their coins/tokens will grow, they believe it will come true. But the reality will come to them, and they will see by themselves.
But if their coins/tokens are not increasing for a long time, they will regret it to hold.

I believe that my coins/tokens will grow because they has a real usecase. So , the demmand for this coins / tokens will be high in the exchange. That is why this coins/tokens will grow in the future.

When a project comes into the market and easily becomes popular in the community, people's interest in that coin increases. As a result, people think that the future of the coin will be very likely. But most of the time this theory is wrong, because paid marketing causes a lot of discussion in the market.

In my case, I try to do good research on that project before making a long term investment in a coin / token. Only if I get the expected results do I invest with readiness to invest.

Mostly it is the overall perception that makes a project good or bad for me and then again even if a project passes your due diligence their is still risk of project not delivering or failure so no one can be hundred percent sure about any project and its success.

Obviously they don't because they don't know also what they are doing. Those people having those words are those investors that they never invest in crypto instead of pretending that they are part of it. Because if actually did the investment, they surely know about the future of their investment and I believe that they come in crypto will knowledge and have their insights already what possibly it happens to their investment.

That is why I'd never trust feedback online, not I'm sure that they are investing crypto but in most cases, it happens that they just talk of what they think which is commonly out from the real scenario.

When i was investing in a coin and i have done deep research about the coin and that means I do believe with the product that has already created and most of my portfolios were coming from the major platform with fully working product.

I dont really know about Defi, but i believe token or coin such as just coin, chainlink and other in defi ecosystem will be explode and will grow rapidly
I believe with that and i optimist with that

If you want to profit from the altcoins you invest in, then you need to research carefully with it, you must research the project's product, the dev team, and their partners. If they operate regularly and offer good products, its price will surely increase in the future

no one knows about the future of an altcoin / token, maybe just a prediction or even just a speculation. it is not easy to choose which altcoin / token is good and will be valuable in the future, therefore I only believe in altcoins / tokens with clear credibility such as ETH (especially the main coin, namely Bitcoin) for long-term investment, and using other altcoins / tokens only for day trading / short term. before I believed in altcoins / tokens, of course I had considered and did some research first.

For me if the project is innovative with multiple use cases, an attractive product with capability to attract users and generate revenue with competent team then the chances of success are high and such projects usually do well in the market.

These days defi is the tag everyone is chasing so the potential answer to your question can be DeFi. It is really wierd to see how this thing has came out of nowhere and just dominated the market and is considered a guarantee for success or 100x. I mean these type of projects are present from long but now market has just gone crazy for them.

Each investor has their own choice based on the results of their research. on the other hand, not all crypto is profitable for investment, you need to research more about coins and project development. Don't forget that investing has risks and you must always be ready to accept all the consequences too. for me investing based on coin development, the seriousness of the team in managing the project, etc.

I'm of the opinion that there's no certainty when it comes to cryptocurrency investment, but my sure bet towards the growth of a project is use case. If I'm convinced as to why a project is important and the acceptability of her use case, then there's a huge possibility that her growth would come, it may not be swift or instant, but with continous project development and innovative strategy the project would blossom in due course.

I choose projects with a real product and real improvements in any area so that their tokens can be in demand. In general, I rarely buy cryptocurrency, I mainly earn in ICO signature companies. Tokens from different projects, so at least some of them will definitely grow in price. Where I am not very sure, I try to exchange for bitcoin or ethereum. It is more reliable.

There are some good coins/projects that are in the market and people don’t want to invest in them, and that’s because they are scared of new projects. When new projects are launched, people don’t waste time in selling their coins and cashing out their profit, and this has turned to become the normal thing with every project. And what I have come to notice about some people is that they like to follow hypes.

Once they see that a project is getting hyped and the project is growing, they will quickly move into it. If you don’t believe that a coin is going to be successful, then it would be best for you to invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum, because these ones are reliable, and we all know their purpose, Bitcoin for transaction and ETH for smart contracts, and they both seem to be unbeatable in these areas.

If we talk about general public or common investors if they invest in a coin, even if they get in a wrong coin they will still praise it everywhere. Obviously because they jave invested and now they want to see its price growing so they do not have any other option so they try to shill the coin everywhere.

No one knows if the future of a project as most of them are always written on paper. Only time define their success, however when investing in a project or buying a token, one should do proper research as often called do your own research( dyor)
Project should be fundamental and technical, list on top exchanges, should do well with time if there is regular update from the Team

It caused by i do believe with my portfolios. I think that it's not only me but all of the investors were also thinking the same thing like me too because they were investing their money on what they have already called it as a promising project based on the various things.

Well that's true, some people buy coins or token because of hype, or because of what people said about the coin hence when they buy, they keep shouting "to the moon" without even knowing if the use case is capable of sustaining the price of the coin for a long time. In the same way, there are people who carry out their research before investing in any coin, these are the ones that have a good knowledge of why their coin will grow in the near future, although things can still change along the way. Hence, what makes a coin or token to grow is the use case, if it is good enough the coin will grow, if it is not then the reverse will be the case.

I'm currently looking to get involved in OpenPredict (OPT) (https://openpredict.io).

It has an impressive DeFi use case that essentially allows anybody to make a prediction about anything, quickly launch a smart contract to take on counter bettors, which will automatically pay out the correct share of the pool to the correct predictors. It can also be used to hedge against black swan events, and profit from practically any other event.

Besides potentially disrupting the DeFi space, it just sold out its $250k allocation like it was nothing, and will be launching with a $100k god damn market up. $100k in the DeFi space is just bonkers. even if it does a x50, it would still only have a $5 million market cap.

Bear in mind that many other DeFi projects have market caps in excess of 50 million... Which means a 500x multiplier is well within the realm of possibility. What do you guys think?

^  It depends, every other day new initial coin offering appears and seems to be promising to the investors, some creators say that it will be listed and some don't promise till the end of ICO. if Listed; it depends on the support, most altcoins that are listed on exchange sites turns to be a shit coin from a few pump, and some altcoins played P2P using MEW also turns into shit altcoins. The only thing that I can assure that a token will grow if the market value start from low and slowly increase value.

Have you did a research before? so many investors have been discussing with the developers especially on its tele group before they try to decide to invest on such project. I think that you should watch the reality as it becomes an opposite thing with your opinion.

Since this is an altcoin section. I believe you are asking about altcoins right? But with the exception of bitcoin, I trust that eth would still be a good potential coin for long term and still has room for improvement. There are some technical issues on the matter but its fine and Im sure Vitalik and the whole eth foundation will fixed and handle the bugs or issue on their network. Thats how a success could thrive, if you dont know how to fail then you can just forget being succesful. Cause in every failure there is a success.

I still hold bitcoin and ethereum in my wallet, because I believe both of them have a great future with an expensive value, but right now I am also interested in the IDENA project which has a unique Proof Of Person Blockchain concept, maybe you can read it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194871.0, I believe this project has great potential and will get more communities in the future, because they will release voting oracles in their wallets and smart contracts, but I don't recommend people people to invest there, people need to understand about the risk

Im looking for an altcoins that is already been existing for long period.

It means it is already established and survive the years that the market is not in good situation. It has progress and the development is consistent.

These factors can make you decide if you invest in a good coins.

Based on the results of my research, they have a strong / dev team, investors, partners and a large community. led me to strongly believe that the coins I invested in had great potential in the future. especially I hold BTC, ethereum, Binance & Chainlink. I believe that this investment will be profitable for the future.

I choose coin/token for investment after my proper research and I make every effort to get a suitable coin/token for investment but I also understand that my decision can be wrong because we don't know what will happen in future, we can only estimate.

Really? I don't think so, investors are so into reasons why a coin will grow higher in future, they don't hold without any reasons for sure future, use cases have different solutions they bring into crypto world and that's the reason why people hold

I usually base on its applicability at the near future and is it ability to be used widely or not. Next, I will consider about their community and investment funds behind them. Finanally, talented people want to dedicate themselves to build up that network or not

I hold handshke because it is promising project, with bug funds on board like Andreas Horowitz, Pantera, etc. Couple weeks ago I bought it on private sale price and I believe it is good entry point, project doesn't have big listings yet but with such powerfull funds on board big listing will happen this year and it will push price.

so you rely on Telegram messages ?when majority of the people are bounty hunters so how come that they will know about  the Coins their holding when the truth is they have only accumulate those tokens/coins because  of  hunting and nothing more.

better listen to this forum to find out that only stupid Holder  have no idea why he has his  coins  in hand.

like for  example  Bitcoin Holders,do you think we  don't know why we are  holding this  great coin when the  proof  has  already happen many times  before?

Use case.
That's one and most important of all.
It must have a feature that will click to the mass and merchants.

I already have that kind of coin.
What I am looking for now is something that relates to the gambling and gaming industry.
I think that industry is blooming more.

Ethereum is the largest percentage in my portfolio. Eth has shown its potential for a long time, it is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies and one of the most popular blockchains. Continuous development and improvement. I think my choice is obvious.

I hodl my coins long-term because I believe in their potentials. But my investment decision is not purely based on hype or influence of others but on proper research. When investing in my coins, I always check the usefulness of the project and the credibility of the team running it. Having good community support is one thing that I also look for in the project.

Try to prevent from believing what you are reading in telegram because there are only few legit topics on there.

---

I believe that my coins/tokens will grow because before i bought a currency i make sure  that i did a deep research and looking at roadmap,with the legit team behind the currency.

I know this is just part of the process but at least i know where my funds are heading in future.

I may lose but the chance of winning is always above losing.

the poeple that your talking about just bought crypto because of its hype or they just saw a fake news about their coins price. i believe that no one can predict the crypto price in the future. they just hold their coins because everyone said that it will grow in the future without guarantee. i will belive the coins will grow if their projects show a good development and always update their technology. because afaik most of the coins that still "alive" till now have a good development.

Doing various research to make investment decisions, I never joined fomo in this market. Just try to choose projects with good ideas and good products. Then the project will certainly thrive in the future

That is right research and knowledge about a certain project you want to invest with is the best tools you can have in order for you make a right decision, plus having so much patience and confidence will give you an extra boast to further venture in more projects that will give you a benefiting rewards.

Yes, I agree, if you are good at conducting research on the project, then you will undoubtedly reveal all aspects of the project and thus you will choose the good project that you will trust and invest in for the future. We believe that the token we have held will grow in the future based on the ongoing development of the project, good news, events, and the volume of token traded in exchanges...etc

everyone has their own strategy, investing and trading, for me, I am sure why the coins I hold will go up one day,
because in terms of fundamentals this coin is very good, and this coin is not a token

Of course people can only predict that the token or coin they buy will go up?
Or you mean they have to know about the future, then they can buy coins that are suitable for them.
no one knows for sure future market conditions.

For me there was right and there was wrong
The right is if short term, I really don't know about the coin, I just bought it because I believe the price will increases
The wrong is if long term, I totally know the reason why I choose the coin

For me it is simple based on historical prices

Most of the crypto investors doesn't really invest on a project after reading it thoroughly, they don't even know about its white paper but they invested on it just because they see the project listed on top exchange, many investors pouring their money on it and they see much hype about the social media and crypto news websites.

My token Has been growing actually, and I believe it's going to keep growing from the looks of it. PROB token has been going up since their exclusive programs especially since their launch with MATIC and now ARK, and both are doing really good. what matters is that these programs require staking PROB, So more people are buying and staking their token, or "my token" now  ;D

if you don't know why you chose a token then you probably didn't invest to it but got it from airdrop.  or if you don't know why you chose a token or a coin, you really could be the worse investors you can ever be.

even bounty hunters today will research what the campaign they are about to join because most of them are going to look forward for the reward to get in the end when the project gets listed to an exchange. 

Following up on my previous comment here. I was right about OpenPredict, it just launched on Uniswap and is already trading at x50—and it still only has a $5m market cap.

as I predicted before, I believe this project has potential for another 10x at the very least, I would be surprised even if it does another 20-50x, since it would still have a market cap of under $250m.

Taking a look at some of the other DeFi coins, this wouldn't be anything out of place, especially given how stacked the team is.

You guys got any other strong picks to take a look into?

I am usually very selective when choosing altcoins, I believe that's the area you are driving at, since BTC is the alpha in crypto. Firstly, I check to see if the team is competent enough, and if they have a supportive community. Obviously a community will be supportive if the team members have community interest, let's say there is a voting system before making vital decisions, it will go a long way. That aside, I check if there is a product, or atleast an MVP and check the development progress squarely. If the project is based solely on promises and hype, it's a no no for me. Let's say for example, I decided to buy some ANKR when I discovered many projects need them to run their nodes, I also decided to buy some VIDT when their video streaming platform started gaining traction. These are not investment options, just a personal instance. Once I see the team, Community and product are cool, then I'm optimistic the coin I'm investing in should do well in future everything being equal.

People don't know why they choose certain tokens because usually they're lazy and don't do any research. They buy coins and tokens because some youtubers recommend it or a friend bought the same coins or because there's a well known person or company promoting them.

I know my coins will grow in value because we are at the very beginning of a big bull market that will most likely last for another year or two. Every smart investor should have a bit of crypto in his portfolio and people are slowly waking up and learning it.

I'd say that it depends on the investment plans short-/long-term as well as the stage at which the coins/tokens were acquired. For instance if buying them at a pre-sale then you can almost assume profit once it hits the market.

I can almost hear you ask, how do you know if it will hit the market and the answer to that is based on the scalability of the project, the team and marketing power.

If buying from the market like most people are then I look at the project and its purpose, its direct competitions to work out if it adds any original value to the market and also at the investors reactions then look at some line-charts. At least these are the basics anyway.

A team that is always ready to gives its community what they want is a good sign of a good project.
Community members will never desire what is not good. They always (although not all) bring good suggestions that will better the lot of the project. If they are is ready at all times, listening to suggestions and expediting quick actions on them, then sky is the starting point.

I have earned my coins in bounty campaigns. So I did not invest money but my time and efforts. Joining the bounties by trusted bounty managers, I hope projects are good, and looking at further development, progress, and roadmap, I believe my investment will grow eventually.

simple reason mate , because i believe it
and i pick a tokens or coins in my bag is with long research in all things about the project buddy

Currently, I have spotted two coins $TWEE and $OPT and i think these coins though have risen significantly I am pretty sure they have a higher chance of increasing the more. Both coins are the native coins on their staking platform together with other use cases that will drive in liquidity of the tokens. This makes me want to hold this coin till the end of the year.

You make a good point but the use case of token/coin is not sufficient to make crypto grow and so is the merchant's feature either. Meanwhile, 45% of all crypto related project/IEO inaugurated  in the year 2017 used this features but their project price in the market worth nothing.
The one reason I beliece the coin/token i have will grow is through the project team level of experience and expert.

they think their token/coin will grow in the future because they see the team performance and the more demand in the market. Many of them are not aware that crypto is full of risks and anything can happen in crypto

If they can't deal with the risk and then how can  they get the profit from this market. More risk and more profit, that's the key.
They do believe in their assets and that's why they have already bought it in the market. We must watch the reality so many people are doing deeply research right now.

We shouldn't believe what we are seeing all the time. We all have our personal viewing. In the last 2-3 years I don't have any good rewards. Alchemy bounty campaign finished a long time ago but still I believe this token. Easyfeedback and now PayAccept projects working process is good. Since 2015 EFB teams have been active with their own Funds.

which makes me think that the coin I invest and hold will grow, because :
1. the project goes according to a plan such as a roadmap
2. the project has very good idea and product
3. has a very high volume on exchange

People just follow blindly from what people are posting in telegram and announcement thread without doing their research and this is what harm their investment they do not set up their own guideline what to look for a good project and just rely on other people to do it for them.

So far i dont have anymore tokens on my wallet but if ever i put tokens i will choose these 5
They are for long term investment, and they can pump too.
Ethreum
Cardano
Elrond
Bnb
Tron

I can only be confident on the direction of growth of a project after fund raise and exchange list. All I could check before the fund raise is the credibility of the team, community, product and other fundamentals. There are high chances of growth if the coin is listed on 2 or more big volume exchanges like Binance, Huobi and coinbase. The community will be liable to grow and traders' confidence to put large fund will be high, It also get attractive to whales and more exchanges

That is why you need to choose your coin and/or token very carefully.  For example if you choose from the top coins that already have use case, for example ETH or XLM, the sure thing is that, even if the price fall, it will still rise or grow back because these projects have already been established and many institutions are based on their block chain.  Unlike choosing the dead or some new incoming projects that you don't really know much about. 

I have ethereum, just, link and doge
With defi that explode the price of defi project that use ethereum blockchain i believe that ethereum still can grow in the next 2 years
Just and link was defi project  and it will moon as soon as possible
And for doge that we all know that elon musk support this coin and its only time will tell
