Bitcoin Forum

hey folks, i'm new in crypto and want learn more about this. As BTC has already pump a lot i'm trying to find a new gem with a low marketcap which can have a decent run in the following years. I can read sometimes some people picked some coins and did a lot of profit, and i was wondering how they can do to detect a coin with a lot of potentiel. I started to search but to be honest i don't know where to start. I was wondering if some people could share their experiences and how to be able to detect a coin :)
 

Welcome to the forum buddy but you need to know that going for low marketcap coin is a risk decision cause such coin can quench anytime and the save investment decision is to go for decentralized big cap coin with good trading volume and community support. You can go for ETH, AR, DOT, LINK, YFI etc.

Those people make a risky investment choice then and the crypto market is also different from those days cause most of the new projects of today only emulate the previous project ideas which whilst they don't flourish.

You can start by invest in BTC, ETH and BNB whilst you keep on Binance for some rewards. Dont go for new project or low capital coins cause there future trend is still not sure.

welcome to the forum
What an incredible decision guys, you are on the right track, with enthusiastic interest there will be more good opportunities this year. Of course, before continuing trading and choosing which crypto to invest in, you have to be careful in which market, because it will determine your money, and can be adjusted with cheap interest rates, try to create an account on Binance, there you will be served quite well. good. happy trading and make big profits.  :)

its not easy to find a new gem in crypto world my friend, you need to have a good knowledge and experience
i see, you are a newbie here, and in my opinion for a new people in crypto world its better to buy top altcoins such as ethereum, binance coin or litecoin

You have the wrong idea, you have admitted that you do not know where to start and that you are new in crypto, and most likely you do not know anything about trading or investing either, as such you need to learn the basics first and learn about the different scams in the market and how to manage your money, once you do that then you could invest in bitcoin and only in bitcoin, after some time passes and you get some experience then you could invest in some of the top altcoins in the market, then after some years you could be ready to invest in low market cap coins but most likely at that time you will finally understand that it is not a good idea and you will never touch them.

You can only detect a coin with good potential by following its development in their chat channel, social media channels, or even in this thread the potential of a coin in the market will only show on how the community reacts to its updates, how the developer address the issues, all of this can be found in a group or channel where they update the progress, their update is timely and all concerns are resolved

Since there are too many coins already in the market it will be hard to detect which coin will really bring us profit, btc is no doubt still a good investment if we will be able to enter in a lower price but in terms of altcoins that only have limited time where they get prices high it will be better if you'll be able to catch them when their something in hype like what happen in defi projects last year that gives profit to many, being able to know the news and the companies about and plans can help in decision making.

Finding a Gem is the space require some research and due diligence, go to the CMC and look at projects that have marketcap with less than $20 million Mcap, the number of tokens in circulation, the name of the VCs behind the project if any. What you want to find is project that is undervalued, if A and B are into Oracle and A is valued 5 while B is valued 1, look at why B is valued that low and if they are looking to launch any product soon. These are some of the things you need to look at before you can call a project Gem.

The rate of upcoming projects currently, makes it hard finding a new gem because a good number of them are out to collect from you, and that's it. Also, I think as a newbie you might want to start from top 20 in coinmarketcap to do your research, although most coins are up already hence you can wait for a little dump to buy.
However, if you want to check out "new gem", visit this forum and browse through the altcoin section, you will see some projects, visit each of them, research about the team, idea, community etc, if it suits your curiosity then invest but however, once you see a good profit, just sell off because most new projects are good in giving short term profit alone.
And the most important fact is, don't forget to Invest what you can afford to lose.

you need to learn from the past my friend
remember a new gem will always bring something new in this crypto world, such as technology or features,
just like ethereum that bring smart contracts in this crypto world
regards

if you are not a whale it is impossible to find gem.
if you are a whale you dont find gem. you make gem.

I may not wrong before if I also looking for a new gem since before I was also thinking that I am already late for Bitcoin.
But it turns before, I get rekt multiple times and lost some of my funds for being ignorant of "new gem".
But for my experience, if I just bought and hold Bitcoin before compare buying some I believe they are "new gem" I may x5 - x10 in profits.
I am not disappointing you or everyone for this kind of opportunity, it may become life changing but be always be careful, low market cap does not mean easy money or good for hodl, always do research multiple times.

You should find that based on the various things, you must do proper research to the projects. The majority of new gems are coming from the TOP 100 CMC and then it got pump and take the spot on the top coins.
You must also remember to buy the legit coins when it was getting dumped. When bitcoin gets pumped and it's not so hard to determine the legit coins dude.
It seems like you must try to find your gem

It all matters on what project is all about, people do check:

-Real life usage
-Known developers
-Realistic roadmap
-Good Whitepaper
-Team behind are knowledgeable and capable of things.
-Dedication and seriousness towards their project.

These are common but be careful because scammers could really have these kind of traits
to fool people or investors.

Indeed it is, if the OP does not have a lot of money then finding gems will be extremely difficult. why is that? I don't have a specific answer because it takes time to feel about it.

As for the OP, i think you went to learn more about the market I think you did well when you learned about gems, but instead of looking for gems use your own money to invest in mainstream projects. .

It's not easy to find a gem, man. You have to spend a lot of follow-up, research and time. Sometimes even days of research do not yield any results. Because uncertainties usually prevail in the crypto market.

Do not jump first on upcoming projects. Look for those that have
-some history
-partnerships
-a real product with real utility and preferably one that is already in use
-always check the team
-check whether they acquired smart money (e.g. VC etc)


I do not want to shill something. But look, for example, at OriginTrail. They are among the few coins with low marketcap that have a working product since a couple of years and an amazing range with high profile organizations. The team is very transparent online. This is just an example.

I think now is the time to invest. The altcoin market is very active and attractive for investment. I hope you get good suggestions and make the right investments. Always trust cryptocurrencies  :)

Totally agree with you. Almost all the company's success depends on the team. I very often met such situations when an inexperienced team spoiled a good idea.
And I want to give advice to the author that it is possible to determine the real company or scammers by the telegram channel and other social networks. Most often, scammers abandon their channels without making a profit and create new projects. Be careful with small projects.

Always read the comments of the people who are interested in the project you're interested also. Honestly, it's sometimes that luck you need to find those gem projects and the rest of the projects, you will only going to ignore them.
That's a hard act to do by looking at gem if you haven't done that before, you need to be resourceful and keep searching for those experts thought that does make sense about that project you're interested in.

As an old member here I would not recommend it anymore.
Before (2018) I would, but not anymore.
Finding "the gem" that you are looking for requires lots of research. Deep research.
Or, if you are that lucky like winning a lotto jackpot. That's how difficult it is now.
So, expect a high risk if you will force your way into looking at cheap coins.

Finding a new gem is really hard because most of the new projects are not good to spend your time and money too. But if they have gem this year that will develop and an investors invest and after few years they will become millionaire. It's difficult to find just like the bitcoin because that coin is very unique and very potential and hoping it will grow more the price.

I think you need check info about Securypto (SCU token) project. At this moment you can buy cheap this token and Im sure in mid term have good ROI. Native token of this project already on exchanges Bilaxy, Uniswap and Dextools

Litecoin is the Best Gem you'll ever find now , Look at the graphs and you will see why this is my Pick for this season .

Litecoin has taken the Position from XRp again , and we can see the movement is consistent and the  next thing we knew , the value is above 200$ again.

It's always hard to find gem, but every year gives us lots of them.

Everybody are talking about BTC ride, about ETH ride, etc, but 2020 was also great for DeFi projects. Just look at price of YFI at the beginning, and look on ATH. UNI/LINK/RUNE. These coins gave possibility to earn some money. Previous year was also nice for Theta and Tfuel and GRT (Ico price about $0.03, first days on Binance and it hit almost $0.80).

But was it really easy to find them? Of course no. You need to dig in forums/YT/reddit/github/4chan, wherever you want to get info about projects. You can be lucky guy, and make big money with almost no research, but as long as you spend some time on gathering info you will feel more conifident on this market. And that one is really brutal. Now everything is green and everybody are happy, but just look at historical snapshots on coinmarketcap. Lots of project which were on TOP100 are dead. My friends lost really big money on 2017 bubble, do not be like them :)

Going back to topic. How to find gem on 2021? First of all, projects with really strong community. If community is big and hyped even project with some lacks are able to pump very hard. Best way to look at the communities? Twitter/Reddit/4Chan and some guys on YT, listen what they say, read comments.

Second usability. I wouldn't go into any project without any use cases, without clear roadmap, and without any history. Remember 'bout it. Maybe it is not hidden gem, i do not now yet, but check LTO Network. Lately about top200, still small marketcap, interesting use cases on their website, and they already work with Dutch&Belgium governments. Read their blog, whitepaper and roadmap. Maybe it is not perfect, but as for smaller mcap than top100 it looks very nice.

Third one, but as i think it should be the first one- strategy. Whithout any strategy do not put any money on this market. You need to have clear strategy. What if your coin go 20x? Would you be waiting for x100 or you would like to secure your profits. How to secure them? Would you like to get USD stable coins or you'd like to invest profits on BTC or ETH?

Think about loses too. I've put some money lately into a project which went down from 3.8$ to 1.98$ without any reason. Sold some of that coins, put into different project and i'm almost on 0. It doesn't bother me, because i have different coins at my portfolio which get my net worth up.

Man be careful on this market and have a good luck!!

it looks like people are only knowing that if the gem will always be related to the whale. The little shrimp has the right to determine what coin that will be the next gem.
People could stick to the major coins and it can still be considered as gems but when people are looking for the more profit and they must have chosen the lower tier coins like top 100 or 200.
Gem means a coin that has a lot of potential to be the major coins.

To be honest, the first tips to find a new gem is hype though some fake project seized it tease and steal from the investors after the hype the vital aspect needed next are
Influential level of the team behind the project, their commitment and their knowledge/capacity.
The new innovation of the project which could possibly open a new doors of opportunity in the cryptosphere just like how ETH create dApps and smart contract then.

Without a doubt that is a decent method to find out if a coin is good or not since it takes time to make that determination, however that assumes that you have some knowledge about the market already and I doubt a complete newbie can pull off something like that, people with experience and that have been in the market for many years can do so because most likely they have watched and analyzed hundreds of projects already so it is easy for them to tell apart a scam from a real project but a newbie does not have that kind of skill yet.

Right. A whale can play a short term pump and dump game with a coin. But there is no substitute for a good project if you want to get long term and good results. For this, it is important for you to look at the potential projects.

After researching a good project, you should invest in it. So that the invested funds can be kept safe. And hope to make good profit in the future.

To be sincerely speaking, it's hard to find the best altcoin to buy now, now that you have missed out on Bitcoin, yes some old investors picked decent coin because the bull run was in their favour driving every altcoin to their ATH in the pass, but mind you, never loss hope on Bitcoin, go buy some of it, it's never too late to accumulate some decimals of Bitcoin, another altcoin you could look onto is ripple, ripple is getting back her recovery after suffering a downfall in price based on news from a SEC. The market is a good turn up now signaling some good opportunity to buy a couple of it at cheap price.

Thanks for all the advices ! I started to have a look at the market, I randomly look at some coins and got some surprises. For example Telcoin, I watched at their channels and seems they ban all the people that ask questions about the coin !  :o No need more to know this coin is not worth it haha.
I heard a lot about Neo too, but unfortunately i don't have the story of this coin, seems an interesting one or should I avoid it for any reason ? I think i'll start to stake a bit, is binance the best site to buy it ? I just had a look at the roadmap and updates on their channel and it seems they are serious.
I think i'll try to bet on 5 or 6 coins.
I'm also heard about Polkastarter; i have to look deeper for this one.

at least you are learning your own , and asking about the coin will cause you banning ? that is a total BS from a Developers actions.
Neo name the Chinese Ethereum Back in 2017 , this has a Good movement back then but now the coins seems to be a Dying project.
Just include the Basic and Good position coins in market ,Like Ethereum and Litecoin because no matter what happen these coins will surely stay and brings you random profit.

Hello dear newbie, I really appreciate what you suggest to everyone here, because just yesterday joining this forum already has good suggestions, okay, let's have a look at the current market which is in good condition for profit, do you think Will traders look to the Securypto token (SCU token) instead of taking advantage of the good moments on Bitcoin and Ethereum and some other popular Altcoins?

come on, bro, now everyone has a very realistic mind about things that are profitable, I don't blame your suggestions for the Securypto token (SCU token), it's just that for now it's better to use popular tokens first than tokens that are not yet popular, I think so.

You need to have luck to find a new gem because we have so many coins at the market which can be the next new gem. Usually, we find that gem by coincidentally, and we do not predict if that coin is a new gem.

I think you can stick to bitcoin, ethereum, or litecoin. But there are many more altcoins, so that can make some confusing to search for the coin. I do not know much about Neo, but I think that coin is good, but maybe you can search for more news. Binance is a good site to stake a coin, I also trying with TRX before, but I think the stake for TRX just stops. Maybe you can check on Polkadot because I heard that coin have a chance to increase.

Is this serious ? you only asking about the coin and banning is what you got ? it's not fair for a investors approach , people tend to ask frequently Because their Money is at risk here.

You can start learning neo by following their graphs , starting 2017

Thats best way to spend Money inside crypto market , Diversification is what you must do so at least there are several chances of gaining while some may lose.

There are no particular criteria to search for a hidden gem in the crypto market because of the uncertainty and un-regulated market in the cryptocurrency market. Which is now traded in high volume due to the heavy speculation again on another day or the next year that coin will have no volume. So, choose your gem from the top50 coins for the investment.

They are among the couple of coins with low marketcap that have a working item since two or three years and an astounding reach with prominent associations. I frequently met such circumstances when an unpracticed group ruined a smart thought and I need to offer guidance to the creator that it is conceivable to decide the genuine organization or con artists by the message channel and other informal communities.

The only best way to find the new gem to consider it from the reputation of project. I do believe that people will never feel doubt with the top coins but it's not with the new coins. Try to find the coin that was backed by the big company in crypto. I have participated in the sale that already made by injective and it has been giving me a very big ROI.
I remember injective being backed by the binance exchange site. that can be a clue to find the new gem.

You can't just simply trust and invest in new coins without further research first. You can see a lot of new projects in the market, usually offers high ROI, but all of these things can be just a trick to trap newcomers. You have to consider these things otherwise, you will be one of these 2021 scam victims.
Where to start? Invest yourself first in the crypto market, you need the knowledge to help you decide what gems you wanted to have.

Nowadays its not easy to find a gem in new projects existing. Thats why investors prefer the established one, its because these coins already proven their worth and profitable to those investors who trust the potential of the project.

There are coins that seems good at first but as time goes by it became another shitcoins or worthless. Thus we need to look for many factors to know if we already find a hidden gem. Extensive research is really needed, dig deeper to have a good result.

no he didnt say he will , he is only curious if how others pick and profited thats why he is here askin for help . investing in new coins imediately without research is a crazy move but this can be done by die hard investors that acts like they are gambling .

we dont know maybe they dont also know how to pick a coin properly thats why thry can do it but lets try to not be like them because if we cant do a research , we can ask for others suggestions .

Welcome to Bitcoin world, Op. If you're looking for a long term investment, it's better if you'll choose coins with a strong foundation and top coins would be the best choice. You can check which coins have shown good potential for years. It's better to do research about your choice of coin before investing so you'll be able to analyze its possible market movements.

to find a new gem in crypto world, you should know about the team from the new project
learn carefully about them, because a project will success or not its depends from their team my friend

thanks for advices, I'm still looking which coins i can get, hope a correction will happen soon to get some coins.



If we can't find any info about the team I need to skip the project right ? I checked SYL coin, no info about the team, just a first name, no clear roadmap, but the project looks interesting. But I'm afraid its a scam coz we can't find any info about the team. Did someone checked this project aswell ?

try Browniecoins.org it's brand spanking new coin

There are obviously a lot of things that makes the projects a bad project, but I wouldn't really say anonymous team is the worst thing you could have. I understand that you want to put a picture in the project and you want to say this guy is responsible for all of it, but the reality is that if a scammer wants to scam you, they will scam you no matter what, we are going to see people who will use literally their whole linkedin, facebook, twitter, instagram, their faces names and everything and yet still scam people.

So, just seeing the team doesn't mean anything as much as not seeing it doesn't mean anything neither. You have to read the whitepaper, you have to see how much team is involved and developing, and how much community is there, and if it looks like it is going great, just because you do not know their names doesn't change a thing.

If a project offers a big ROI then you can be sure that for the most part that coin is a scam, no one can give guarantees in this market that you are going to receive profits as the market is simply unpredictable, at least to me that is one huge red flag that should never be ignored because it is very easy to see a project making huge claims and if they happen to attract a lot of customers then people begin to think that since so many people are invested in the coin it is impossible that it is a scam when in fact it is.

Your best bet is to follow the forums like these where there are discussions about projects and to follow social medias and promoter to see the projects and then go and dig deeper.

I don't think you should be hoping for so-called GEM, in this market I have yet to find or really see good things out of it because it is like the bump n dump process, it is not beneficial. What good for me i think you instead of looking for GEM looking for big and meaningful platforms in this market, it will be more profitable than you are looking for GEM.

I think the same and I even wonder why that is even necessary, bitcoin crashed significantly during march of 2020, if someone was interested in buying bitcoin that was the perfect moment to do so and if you did you could have obtained 10x profits, if you invested enough money at the time that is money that can change your life and it was money that you could have made in just 10 months, if you need more than that then most likely the size of your capital is so small that in order to get the profits you want you will need to invest in the next ETH or something like that and coins like that do not come that often.

pay attentions to a project that bring new tech and features in this crypto world my friend
but now its hard to find a new gem, because for now most of new project are a copy cat from the old project

In theory is possible to find good new projects before the price skyrockets but people are not going to like what I'm want to suggest, if you want to find them you need to read hundreds of white papers, I'm not joking, if that is truly your goal you are going to need to read that many white papers just to find one good and decent project, if you are not willing to invest the time and energy necessary in order to do that then do not bother you're never going to find a good coin before it skyrockets.

there are many tips for finding hidden gems, and the tips that I know are analyzing coins that still have a low market cap,
visit coinmarketcap and filter altcoins that already have their own blockchain network yup,
those are coins not tokens, and do fundamental analysis.

Best method I have found was to go around the project lists and try to find one with a usecase that people may want to use. For example binance smart chain shares all the projects they have and all the ones upcoming as well, so I check them and try to find which one is good and which one is not good, I find the usecase ones and when I found them I try to imagine if people will want to use it or not.

For example, I found pancakeswap that way and I find it awesome, it is both like uniswap because you can swap tokens, but it is ten times cheaper, we are talking about under 1% of your money instead of 20% of your money goes to transactions if you are using small amounts, and obviously it is still cheaper even if you deal with millions of dollars. Secondly it has pools and farms where you could earn money with your money that uniswap doesn't even have. I just loved it. Go around and check them all and you will find a decent project.

start with the site, i think a good and potential project will have an unique site template wich mean will be different with the others
then i will go to their team and read carefully the whitepaper, because all informations will show up in the whitepaper and the project will grow or not is depends on their team

Take the time to learn things if you are not ready to lose money on stupid games. No one will guide you in detail on how to get a lot of money, you have to do this yourself. When I came to this market, GEM was something I never knew, or maybe the things I got to know were just too bad in this market.

You won't find something called GEM here, it's just a shark pump game and we are the cards in their game.

It's quite difficult. It's better to bet on the new coin with good hype that can create FOMO.
I have been seeing some small coins like CHSB that have been making a big move in the market and it was making its own comeback to the crypto market and this time CHSB was sitting at top 100 CMC.
Fundamental is good but the product must more important than TA

Bassicly you need to research about the project deeper, its about the team behind it and also the usecase of the project. Dont forget to take a look for the roadmap too. If it looks promising, you can invest on it. The rest is just wait for some luck on the project so the price could be x2 x3  ;D

In this forum alone, you can get a lot of insights already. If you browse the ANN section or even in Tokens (Altcoins), there are a lot of projects that you can read about. Some projects will stand out with a lot of views, but you need to check their content as well. Why are they getting huge number of views or the thread is too long? Look for possible reasons why people are interested on that project. You can also read some perspectives by reading their thread. It is hard work but if you find a good project, then, maybe it is worth all your lurking around in the forum.

Continue to search until you find the best one and you can just see it on their ANN Thread which gives more information about the specific project. Its more on their usage now and I guess with their total supply. There’s a lot of new project right now that promise a good return, don’t just believe on that easily because you should find their biggest advantage compare to other project.

All information would really be displayed on the ANN thread where it do leads into their main website, whitepaper, and other social mediums which would really give out idea on what project
you are dealing with.It might sound simple to advise someone on taking these basic things but actually finding the gem or the best project isnt something that can really be done so easily.
Out of all projects in the market and to those projects who do continue to launch up day by day then it isnt really something that you can picked up something that really puts
you to interest without any solid basis. This is just like finding a needle on a haystack this is why success will really be varying on someones dedication on searching up everything.

Don't try to buy coins that have a low market cap, because this is very risky. I have tried to buy some coins that have a low market cap, and hope
that one day the coins pump gives a big profit. But the fact is that the coins are getting lower in price and are very difficult to sell. So based on
my experience, it's better to buy coins with a high market cap. I suggest that you as a newbie buy the top 10 cryptos which are very safe for
investment.

its better for to wait for binance announccement about new listing,
because as usual when a coin or token will be listed on binance the price will spike up
so, you don't need a lot of knowledge about how to find a new gem, because the point is how we can make profit in this crypto world right ?

there are several ways you can do to find out whether the coin has the potential or not. that is by seeing it in CMC or at Coingecko. because there will be a list of new coins that have potential in the future.
mybe this information can help you

Another good strategy is instead of looking for reason to invest in a project you should go with the idea of looking for reasons to not invest in it, this may sound weird but it is the correct way to proceed, this way if you find anything wrong with the project instead of just passing over it as most people do you will simply avoid investing in it, this is a great way to avoid scams as if you do your due diligence and you investigate the team on your own you are sure to find that they are fake and avoid investing in the project.

Risky investments will cause a deep negative ambiance around the new altcoins if you have no enough experience in the respective field. Buying the new altcoins is the profession of hunters who know when and how much should they invest. The flash bust is possible if the incorrect money management techniques are applied by the noob trader.

The best way to explain how to choose the right altcoin for profitable investment. If you know what not to do, you will find what to do very easily. Some will get it while other traders will rush to buy all useless altcoins for the alt season. Dead altcoins will be pump-dump material for big boys and it is all luck to sell it at the right time when the pump happens. No difference from gambling, I prefer to go all-in red on Roulette :D

It is really that easy however what it is left unsaid is that with so many coins being scams or terrible projects you will need to do this for hundreds of coins and when people imagine themselves having to go through hundreds of coins just to find one that may have potential they give up mentally and refuse to do all of that work, basically they want all the benefits of investing in a new good coin but without having to go through the trouble of actually doing it and we know that is a recipe for disaster.
