At a time like this most investors get confused about the right altcoin to invest in and this confusion always leaves many to wonder about what criteria to choose when deciding on the right coin to buy for a long-term base. Should utility alone be a major factor in determining a good altcoin and being speculative in the price?

Every investor must have their own criteria for choosing the coins they will invest,
the safest is that the top coins are good for long term investment,
but we still need to do our own research after all we can't ignore that

To meet the criteria for long-term altcoin investment, we have to pay attention to a lot. Utilities are mandatory, but there are a few other factors that I usually use as a benchmark.

1. Supply and mechanism of the coin. A limited supply has a guaranteed stable value increase, but there are also coins that have an unlimited supply of coins that can increase in value rapidly. Then is there a certain mechanism in the ecosystem or network, such as coin burning and buyback periods by developers.

2. Strong fundamentals. Coins and tokens that have strong fundamentals tend to be safe for long-term investments.

3. Mass Adoption. This is an important point, broadly speaking, mass adoption is able to attract a lot of interest from investors and institutions to use it.

4. Strong network, low fees, fast transactions, safe and extensive Ecosystem. This is of course the basis for the coin to show off its advantages over other competing coins.

It will still depend on how you see these factors. If they're important to you then that's part of your picking but if they don't make sense to you then there's no need for you to look at those. But honestly, utility is one of the factors that many investors are looking that.
We like tokens that have real usage and being used for utility because that's part of the factor that we're looking at if there's a use for that token and it's not just for speculation through trading.

Great team, still cheap (low marketcap), needs to be able to go x100 or even x1000.

Worked for me on a couple of projects but not always of course.

Overall this strategy made me able to buy real estate and get a huge btc stack which i never could have done buying top50 projects.

Right now i like KoinOS. TT also might be promising but I am not sure. It just went up +70% today after a long drought so do your own research

There are no right criteria for choosing altcoin because every investor will have their own criteria and be different from the other investors. Some of them prefer to invest in a low coin price, while others will look at supply, the project development, the teams behind the project, the position of the coin, etc. Some others prefer to invest in the altcoin from their position and only pick the top 20 coin list for their investment. Maybe you need to find those criteria for choosing an altcoin based on what we are telling you so you will know how to choose the altcoin.

Yes, there are no specific criteria to judge potential altcoins. It depends on each individual's forte and preference. Like me, I like to invest in top altcoins and layer 1 projects because I like safety and not too risky. Sometimes I will invest in new projects with a very small amount, my criteria besides reading Tokenomics, I will invest in monitoring venture capital funds. I love BinanceLabs investment projects.

The major thing to look out for is the team ( 99% of the project success relies heavily on the team) team with lots of experience in blockchain, great ideas and track record from their previous fields will deliver.

An active community with strong support, once there is massive support from the community it creates organic hype to increase the project popularity.

The project concept should be appealing and useful in blockchain to attract the right people to want to invest without doing much advertising. A project with these three criteria can perform very well.

1. It solves a problem that other altcoins doesn't
2. Team leader is a talented coder, meaning that other coders are blown away by his/her talent
3. Every team member has a clear purpose for being in the team.
4. Transparency of the team progress and by that i mean answering to tough questons and they are admitting mistakes they have made.
5. It's a red flag if team is talking about the market value or speculating about the future price.
6. tokenomics need to make sense and have a solid game theory backing it up.
7. Project isn't jumping in the latest buzzword bandwagon.

Those are few things coming in my mind.

It's not that easy, I think the criteria are within us to decide which one to choose in altcoin investment because there are many factors to choose from and also see how it develops in a project, so I think everyone will have different opinions, but if you want to take Which advice is better and more research by you and then decide which one to invest in.

The top altcoins do have a little longer in the market because of the large community in trading to encourage them.
However, if you choose a new one or one that is still below, I think you need to correct it again whether it is correct or not.

if the altcoin we choose has a competent development team and is supported by a large and active community, besides that the altcoin has large fundamentals and trading volume and has been registered on several large exchanges, then you can be sure that the altcoin has good criteria and very worthy to be chosen, even though it is not entirely true but these altcoins have a great opportunity to be able to provide our profits,

The project criteria I pay attention to when I want to invest is of course checking their social media channels, checking white papers, and seeing the project roadmap, goals and advantages of other projects. However, it is true that every investor has their own criteria in determining their target for a project. Usually based on popularity, and a high level of interest in social media are also important factors to review how ideally we will drop money into the project.

I agree with what you say, although it's not necessarily 100% correct but it's better than altcoins with obscure projects. Regarding a strong community, here I don't think it needs to be too big as long as they are solid, a project that is in front of them has a chance to be successful. The community cannot be underestimated, because their presence is indeed one of the factors for a project to run well.

To choose altcoins to invest in the long term is certainly not easy, especially now that there are so many altcoins that have been created, for me to invest in the long term of course I don't want to take risks. to invest, my choice is of course Bitcoin Ethereum Binance and a coin that I think has the potential to develop in the future, even if I want to invest in a new altcoin, I will not invest a large amount, because for me it is a very high risk, so my choice is definitely which I don't think is a big risk.

This is a good list, if you are serious on looking for a good altcoins project you must have your own criteria and don’t just based on any hype. In cryptoworld those who analyze well always a winner, they have a better chance of getting into a good project. I stop investing for new tokens for now but when I do see good project again, I might start to buy and see of its worth it or not, still depend on their services.

I have a few list on choosing altcoins, this is very common but I think its important to see on every new project before you decide to invest.

1. Token Name - You can tell a project if its legit or not by just knowing their token name.
2. Network - Some token are using a great network for their services, if you prefer a specific network or a multiverse this can be one of your standard.
3. Services - Most of the token now don't have the utility, and they are just a token without a use so I'd rather avoid those tokens and just buy those who have a utility.
4. Supply - I don't want to buy a token with unlimited supply and no burning mechanism, this is too risky for me.

So that's it, very common yet you can see their real values once you know how to analyze properly. Choosing good tokens right now is very easy, you can spot the difference between a scam project and a good project with this standards.

I would also suggest that as much as possible, look at what stage of development is the project. If it is still alpha going for months, more than likely, they will never launch their working product. It is better if they have working product/services before they introduce their platform to the public. But if they will rely their developments from public funds, they have high chance of shelving the project. Because if you have no solid financial backer, going forward would be too difficult for them.

Several things to consider and a good project must have all of these,

* Use case and legit purpose of the project
* transparency
* liquidity/trade volume
* strong support system
* already back-up by an exchanger

We are supposed to invest in the project that we know are legit, not just only under construction and pre-sale period as the majority of them turn into scams.

BTC, ETH, BNB, and the rest of the top 20 coins in the market seem to be good choices. Not even it needs for you to check their background.

Nah, in the past chosing the top coins are the best picks for long term investment but as time flies by most of the top coins aren't worth it to hodl for long term since some of them are either too long to pump or too early to pump, that's why most of them called the pump and dump coins.

One should find a category like the market movement of a coin plus the total market volume and make sure that it isn't a fake volume since some of the exchange do this to attract investors/traders or it's best to just go to Binance if you can't find a reliable exchange.

So many things need to be considered when choosing altcoins. Like

1. Team
2. Demand
3. How big the community
4. Progress
5. Exchange site
6. Hype and many more
Yeah and that's it. Utility has become a main factor that needs to be considered as internal factor that wil be making the project even stronger. The utility of token will be creating demand for the token as people think if that token is very useful.

With so many altcoins currently on the market. Of course, it makes us as investors sometimes confused about choosing good coins for investment.
But if you want to invest long term in crypto, it's not enough to just look at utility as a criterion. In my opinion, good coins for long-term investments
must have strong fundamentals, high demand, popular and has an active development team. Usually if there are coins that meet the criteria
I mentioned, no doubt these coins are very profitable for long-term investments. So far, usually the altcoins that are in the top rankings of
Coinmarketcap meet these criteria. Like ETH, BNB, ADA, LUNA and SOL are some profitable coins if we invest for the long term.

1. Team
2. Allocation of tokens to investors, team, advisors, etc.
3. token issuance
4. White Paper.
5. Exosystem development.
6. Roadmap
7. Which of the funds invested in this project

I agree with you and we need to do some research on the 7 points you mentioned,
it may look a lot and will take a lot of time but at least it's worthwhile to find good coins though that's also not a guarantee,
most importantly pay attention to these 7 points before buying coins

Investing in the top altcoins is an option that can be taken by those who are new to crypto or who are confused about their choice because, at the very least, they can hope to make a profit later. As long as we don't go along with what other people say without seeking further information, we won't be fooled by scam projects or projects that struggle to get a raise later. I also chose to invest in BinanceLabs for the new coins because, at least, the new projects had to go through a selection process from Binance before their projects were allowed to enter the Binance exchange.

There are no specific criteria when trying to buy altcoins because each investor has a different way or view in choosing the coin he wants to invest in, but it is very important for us to always do independent research about the type of altcoin we will buy so as not to experience losses. later because by doing research we will know what the project has to offer in the long term.

Usability is now definitely one of the most important criteria for choosing an altcoin.
The basic ones are also the professionalism of the dev team, tokenomics and general fundamental analysis.
Period of presence on the market (determines stability) and its capitalization are very important.
On the basis of market capitalization and utility, we can compare such a project with others (if there are any similar already on the market) and assess how much such a project can develop.

First of all when you choose any altcoin for long term then you should look for coin which have strong and wide use case. If coin have have just one type of usecase then this coin can go down if trend end like Axe which is single game. If this game failed then Project will go down also. Similarly Juno coin which only usecase is Stacking and airdrops , if it's end it will go down extremely hard.
For choosing best altcoin look for project which provide a systems for another Projects like Mana,Sand which has full system of Metaverse. Similarly Atom token which has Big ecosystem.

Of course, every investor has their own criteria to determine which Altcoin to invest in for the future.
utility is certainly an important factor that must be considered when looking to invest long term, but I personally tend to see new Altcoins that are under serious development for the future because I think if it is successful it will be very profitable when we as investors get in early.

Well for me, a strong network is very important and followed by the utility of the project. There are too many signs on how to determine a potential project but it does not mean they are not risky at all. Altcoins are very risky, considering that it seems they are like gambling, you can invest them in a short period of time and beyond that, perhaps they will turn into a shitcoin which is very common as of now. So, choose a better one that has a potential, if you want long term avoid token because they are very risky.

The utility is an important criteria when choosing a coin to invest in. Thats how you can see if its not just an speculative asset but has a purpose why it was existing.

Its a must to also check the white paper, the roadmap, the team and the community. These are just the basic thing to do as an investor if you're looking for a project that unlikely to turn as scam.

Nowadays its important to have your own understanding of what you're getting into. Researching can help to fully understand why the specific coin is the one that you're looking for.

Investors ? what kind of investors are you referring here? newbies ? or those Old time investors ?

for New investors may find this hard to find , but those old timers? i don't see this will become harder because people in crypto knows how to find nor how to denied the chances of  buying fake or scam coins.


and besides they wanted to buy safe coins that mostly in ranking top 1-50.
and also never AIM for total profiting , i mean never be a greed investors and just take small profit but surely, never seek for GEM project if you cannot afford to totally lose as well.

Doing research does have a big role in determining a viable project although it's also not a guarantee,
do in-depth research both on the team, the roadmap and others,
what is clear is that choosing a good project is not an easy thing and it takes time to do it all

Every new project is obligated to do research on it if necessary repeatedly because in the composition of the project team there could be a scammer who has also been in the old project in the past, so when you have done your research, at least everyone has started to know things. this kind of thing even though it can't guarantee a lot of profit through the project.

In my opinion, utility is the main factor to promote value and input speculation motivation, accepted and used product value will increase reflected value, right?  The countless altcoins out there have always been questioned in terms of applicability rather than meaning and generated action.  Utilities, tokenomic, roadmap, team, actions or words...etc, long-term investors get the value they want, they have to trade it for risk.  And no one wants to deny profit when it comes.  The utility will be the connecting and maintaining product

Why what is the difference from this time to the time that we have before? Ah I know, maybe this time there are lots of coins that are created already? is that is? But, that doesn't make me confused to be honest because I still know if which coins are worth it to invest and what is not.

We have coinmarketcap or coingecko that we can use, if we don't know what to choose all by ourselves. We can use their top coin rankings and pick the coins that are under that category. That should solve your problem if your confused. Yes, utility is one of the factors to look for before you invest because this is what makes the coin to get in-demand.

Utility will become the main factor for the project in long term.
I will try to add some things that must be considered by you

venture capital and backers
team track record
smartcontract and code
alpha or at least MVP
Tokenomic and economic structure of project
roadmap

Those things must be used when you are doing a research to know which altcoin that potentially give you good profit for sure.
I think that if you must aware about that and then just try that.

I have been around here for a long time, and I mean like very long time and I can easily say that nothing that happens in the crypto world could make me get confused about it. I get that some people could have trouble trying to find what to invest and when to invest but I have figured that out long time ago and it hasn't been a problem for me ever since. At least 5+ years or so, and I am still using the same logic and have provided me with a good profit.

What I do is that I wait at least 6 months to a year after a coin is created, early investment never really was my forte and even though you could make a lot of money, you do not have to risk it neither. Then I just buy and hold, if it does 2x then I take my initial investment out, and I just keep the rest... as long as I can.

This is a significant point, as a general rule, reception can draw in a ton of premium from financial backers and establishments to utilize it. In the event that they're vital to you, that is essential for your picking yet on the off chance that they don't sound good to you then there's no requirement for you to check those out. In any case, truly, utility is one of the variables that numerous financial backers are looking that.

wrong , new to crypto mostly try investing in altcoin that is not on top instead those they are being lured meaning those liars here in crypto space had made them believe that those project will go to the moon or can become GEM.
so meaning they are the mostly losers.
but since OP is asking something here? maybe he is the one with High hopes in crypto investing and one of those who mostly succeed.

I see criteria like this, first is the community strength of the project, we can see how the project builds a solid community and has strong fundamentals. if this is able to meet the criteria and has a good concept then it is worth investing in.

 at this time we also have to follow market trends to invest such as NFT, METAVERSE and WEB 3.

I personally see a lot of good stuff in this space, and sometimes we don't know how to build the right strategy for ourselves, which leads to struggling to find opportunities for ourselves. Of course, nothing is perfect in this space, and transparent top projects are the top choices for many investors. I personally like ETH, BNB, DOT, LINK,... and especially what I think everyone will want to hold more than BTC.

I don't have any criteria when choosing some altcoin for daily day trading or long term trading and waiting on DIP price only, not any specific about how to check analyze and looking with chart because I am not really smart and expert how to read with chart. Just checking with daily day price from some coins and looking how much lower and higher price before investing with this coins. Usually in daily day I check with lower price and entry depending with bitcoin situation and looking how potential growing up in daily day. I dislike with some coin looks stable price and better looking some coins have faster for growing up and down.

What is already famous and has become popular will always be targeted by many people to have it as much as possible and also store it safely before using it in the trade.
And the coins that you like are coins that are also liked by many people in general so it would be very good if at this time they could be used in trading to get the profit on target.

I think first of all we should choose coin which already listed on Top Exchanges specially Binance,Kucoin where volume is good and very low chances of rug pull.
Also choose coins which has strong partnership and top investors like Binance,Kucoin or Coinbase.
Don't buy new coins which just launched because they are risky and you can lose here.

For me the project must have roadmap, white paper wherein for us to see what's the goal of the project itself and of course the purpose and the advantage than other project in the market. also good market cap is required IMO because on that way you can really tell it has a future even it's a new project.

That is the key point on most of my purchases. I do not invest into things that most people are ignorant about, or not really know the details of it. If you really want to invest into something, it is not about how much you know about that coin or token, it's about how much others know about it.

Bitcoin is the biggest coin for example, and if you invest into bitcoin you know that it is the most known coin and you feel good about it, then you invest into something as big as you can find, eth, ltc, bnb and so forth. But if you invest into coins that are out of top 200, then you would probably realize that it's not something big at all, and should not be considered a good investment.

Need to check the full base of the project.The reason is very simple one,because the people will inverse with out check fully about the project.It’s not a good one,because most of the traders fails.If they invested their money without the knowledge.Many altcoin project was a scam one.They just looking of the profit motive and will close project after the profit.

Projects like Axie Infinity, for example, when they came on the market, few people knew about them at all and they were way outside the top 200, but in 2021 this project has grown so much that many would dream of buying it in the days when no one knew about it. Back in the days when it was worth a few dimes. Do you think the Top 200 is some sort of benchmark of quality and confidence? No, it's just a capitalization rating, not a quality rating. Promising projects at the very beginning of their journey do not always end up in the TOP-200. But that does not mean that it will be a bad investment.

I have no criteria at all that Buying a coin that is listed in ranking and in legit casino as well, at least top 50 coins will not be missed in my Folio and also my capacity to keep a coin for at least months and year.
there are so many people that only made their investment confusing when they can just buy coin and Hold them for years.
those are the old style of trusting a project, because they will only cost some bucks to pay someone to create a Roadmap and Whitepaper just like that.

It is difficult to talk about criteria, long-term or short-term investment will have different selection criteria.  For me, when looking at and participating in the basic investment in a project, trust will be the most important thing to stick with for a long time.  The vision, meaning and utility of the project are part, a well-built community is encouraged.  Of course, I think the current trend is DAO, and you will demonstrate that as part of the development process, the success of the project will consist of the development ideas being launched and built.  Community, leaders will be the criteria for the DAO that I am really interested in.

Simply , never invest in something that you don't fully understand. thats it .

imagine you are called investor but you know nothing about the criteria? lol that is insane way of investing.

learn first then return to investing , but for now? forget about putting money inside crypto.

wrong Trust does not there to save you, instead it is knowledge and capacity to choose, and also some part are instinct .

Yeah, I fully understand that.  Thank you for the reminder.  But what I mean is that some defi projects have DAOs that I'm interested in and are almost in a wrecked and dreary boat where you can't get out and that's how I accept as a trade-off.
For me in the dry, negative now is an opportunity for DCA or accumulation.  This is not a time for weeping or whining, but a time for assertiveness i think

Its always so tough to choose the right coin where we wanna invest our valuable capital .I am agree with you that we all have different tricks to choose our altcoin to invest .I always go through with the trend which are running on the whole community .I wanna clear it to give an example in recent time the community are really go through with the metaverse and web3 project .That's how i start with the best potential project on the market .I try to invest on different project to separate my investment .I also invest on the top altcoin of the market like you ,which are more potential .I just have shared my own strategy do your own research and make yours .

We could pick whichever coin we want based on the most effective strategy that we could personally apply. As for me, I would prefer top coins that are more established where I would have an assurance that they wouldn't turn into rug pull. I don't want to risk my funds on coins that are just carried by the hype. Coins that have a strong foundation and good reputation I think would be a good choice.

I think the coins that are in the top 10 CMC are coins that have very precise criteria to invest both in the long and short term, because these altcoins have very large fundamentals and volumes in the market so that these coins have great potential  be able to provide good luck for you.

Well, there are a lot of criteria to consider but there is no prefect criteria that will help you to choose and invest in a good altcoin. But knowing an altcoin has a long term utility case, that is one way to choose an altcoin because it will mostly result into long term profitability. However, if you find it hard to choose which altcoin will perform best in the market, then always choose to invest in those established altcoins. They are already proven and tested despite of the market volatility, and are sure to give you more profits than resulting into losses.

Every investor has their own criteria for choosing the right altcoins to buy. For me, the most important criteria are:
1. Has a skilled, professional, and active team
Stong team should be the first criteria to be considered. Without a strong team, an altcoin cannot be developed as expected. A bad team may lead to a decrease in the trust among the investors or community. They probably leave the project once they know the team isn't competent.

2. Has a clear and long-term concept
We must look for an altcoin with a good concept, especially those that have long-term plans. For an altcoin that seems to have a short life, we are better to not buy the token. Probably the developer of the token will do a rug pull, to disappear once got big funds.

3. Has a big community
Big support from many people will encourage the token to have a long future. Don't buy a token that has a small community, it is too risky.

4. Has a good partnership with any trusted platforms
This implies that the token is made by a good project and professional team.

5. Listed on reputable exchanges
Avoid buying any token that is listed on a bad exchange. They may not survive a long time.

There are many criteria for choosing profitable altcoins, but everyone has their own standards in choosing altcoins. So sometimes everyone has
different criteria in determining good altcoins for investment. What is certain is that we must have good knowledge of the crypto world to be able
to choose good altcoins, because investing in altcoins is different from investing in other assets. Altcoins are very much in circulation these days,
so it will be difficult for people who do not have knowledge of the crypto world if they have to choose altcoins. Maybe for a newbie who doesn't have
a good knowledge of the crypto world, they should start investing in top altcoins. Because top altcoins have proven to be good for investment.

In investing, of course, we have our own criteria in choosing coins for us to hold, some investors prefer new altcoins that have potential and they do not care about risk and they always hope to get a big profit, but I prefer the old altcoin and already ranked at the top because with the current market conditions it is very suitable for us to invest in the long term in these altcoins.

The strategy of an investor is indeed different and I appreciate you if you choose the top altcoin on Coinmarketcap for a safe investment,
but you must know that the top coin already has a high ROI,
of course the risk that will be accepted is also much higher than in a project ranked 100 and above coinmarketcap,
try to think first.

Most of the prominent investors that I have seen so far are men that have taken their time to study the top-performing market and have studied the chart of most of the top 5 coins on coin market cap,  but then some time those coins can still underperform since cryptocurrency market is a highly volatile one so one just need to make a proper analysis and be ready to make a long time frame.

The top ones may not bring you wealth overnight, but they can bring you wealth in a few decades and that might be too slow for you, maybe you want to turn a few thousands dollars to few million dollars in under 5 years and that is why top coins do not matter to you.

But, some people like to take less risk and invest for a decade into the top ones, like btc, eth, bnb,l ltc and so forth and then hope that this investment would bring you a good amount of return in the long run. It is not really that much of a bad strategy neither because it looks like it will be a solid one that will do what it aims at, the difference is, you may not want what it aims at and that is understandable too.

This is probably true for a while, if you are a newbie then you need to study and learn more about crypto at first, but if you are not a newbie, if you know what crypto is then finding an altcoin becomes a bit easier. You build some strategy, some filter that you use when you look at things.

Like for the longest time I have been trying to avoid investing into things that look centralized, because these days almost everything is based on the teams behind projects and I dislike that. Not everyone cares about that, some other person might even care about the team being great, and that is the biggest difference, that is something I can understand, just not support myself.

It will happened to the first stage of the trade.Most of the traders will not have the knowledge about the altcoin at the beginning of trade and you too face the same.The only solution for this is,you need to do background verification of the project.Mostly traders ask their friends to inverse on coin,which not a good move for your money.

Everyone who is successful in getting profit from crypto they don't get easily, they have to go through a fairly long process first. So the success of
trading in crypto can't be instant, requires patience to reach the stage where we can determine which coins are the best for trading. So don't worry
if we choose the wrong coins when trading which ultimately makes us lose. So our mistakes become lessons for the future, so that we are more
careful when determining which coins we deserve to buy. Therefore, do not be lazy to continue to learn to improve our trading skills, don't trade
relying on other people's opinions to determine which coins we will choose, it's not a good decision. Because sometimes other people only manipulate
for their own benefit, and promote the coins that they have bought before. So use our own knowledge and analytical skills to determine the right coins
for us to choose.

Picking top altcoins on CMC is a quick and fairly safe way, all of them have had high growth before and are unlikely to give us big profits in the short term. But it will be safe for our investment instead investing in lowcaps.

Risk is always present in investment, so investing in topcoins only helps you reduce risk, but it does not guarantee that there will be no risk. Over time, topcoins will still be displaced if it doesn't evolve and improve.

Actually, everyone can separate two good things when choosing coins, for example by choosing some coins for the long term and some for the short term, so managing them becomes easier and doesn't seem like a waste of time.
Because there are times when profits in the short term are needed, although profits in the long term should also not be ignored because it would be very good if someone was always able to benefit through the coin choices he had researched himself.

For some people it seems that it is not easy to choose a coin for the long term and for the short term,
they need to do their own research to choose the right coin and that takes a lot of time for sure,
but maybe for long term investment it's easier and the best reference is the top coin

Well, looking at its utility, being there is also part of the basis for choosing a long-term investment in a project. In addition, I personally always prioritize top coins like ETH BNB DOT for a long-term strategy. For a new project, a thorough study of that project will also give people specific strategies. For investment, a few factors such as team, product, coin/token distribution process, investment fund, development roadmap,... also need to be kept in mind when we decide to invest in it.

Instead of choosing long-term investments but not being able to judge which ones should be maintained, it's better to choose short-term investments because the risks are not too heavy.
As you said above choosing coins that have good volume and potential is not easy.

Coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB I think are no doubt for long-term investments,
it will be profitable to invest in these coins and the risk is not too big and safe too,
especially with market conditions like this, I think it is wiser for long-term investments than short-term investments

What I do believe is that we have different perspective in our investment , some choose to seek for Easy  money and fast collection and this is why GEM is their target.
while others are seeking for Long term Holding in which Yes the ranking currencies is the best option.
and others are here for day trading in which they are seeking for what can be the best to choose, like What coins can reach 10-20% in the next 24 hrs?
in this they are contented and they are good at.
Look at the team, look at the White Paper, Look at the Road map , but deeply look to the team because they are the one who will prove the quality of the project.

Before venturing into projects or making investments, there should be something that trigs you about the project which made you to venture into, is either their development, Usecase or prospect, secondly if their team members are reliable or not. Most at for those looking at network; is either on ETH network or BSC and any more.
For newly project could be a pump and dump so i will suggest he/she should go for already developed project such as; BTC, ETH, BNB, WAVES, MATIC these coin are very potential and also good for long-term run.

That is called "gut feeling" by many people, whatever you want to call it or name it if there is something that intrigues you about that project then I believe that it could be something decent. I am not saying that it is impossible to find something purely by checking mathematically, of course that could happen, like some projects RSI peaks your interest is a good enough reason as well.

But, no matter what the reason is, eventually you need to reach to a level where you need to study it very hard before you invest. If you do not know every single line of detail about that project, and if you learn about it after you invested, then it is going to be a problem.

If we want to invest in a new coin, accuracy is very important. As you mentioned, it's one of the factors we shouldn't overlook when doing coin research.
But if we don't want to put too much effort into doing research I think the existing coins that have great credibility are certainly the choice for us. It depends which coin is more interesting to us.

Its depends on you what alts to choose, there are coins that have no promising criteria but pumping like crazy and there are also coins with great criteria solid team almost perfect but price is stagnant even if development is active. Top 100 alts in cmc have posses strong criteria but this does not mean they can give you great profit after buying and holding, I suggest invest early on what is going to be in-demand alts in the next few months whether nft,metaverse, L1 etc. 

The top coin is always suitable to be chosen and placed into two versions of investment, both for the long term and for the short term, only if for a larger profit target it is always more suitable to be placed in the long term.
But in the end, everyone can always make choices and attitudes for himself in this matter, so that what he chooses is based on his own wishes, not on the basis of others.


With certainty for profits can not be accurately ascertained, but when a person starts to choose a good coin or a top coin with a lot of volume and potential, then he will never lose big if he takes the coin for investment in the long term.


If I say yes it is, but until now there are still many people who are hesitant and afraid to choose it for the long term because they are not used to the risks and the market conditions that are sometimes uncertain.

What i believe , these coins/project called as GEM in which most of Bounty Hunters i come to read in their finding how to become rich easily.
those are the project that lack of promotion , that the team sometimes taking time before pushing the project completely .
top 50 will give you profit but not overnight, instead it will take some time .

Being an investor is like measuring your own abilities and preferences. I myself like tokens or coins that in the future have price stability and prospects for increasing. Or buy tokens that can increase yourself such as Babydoge, Goma etc.Ada juga yang lagi ramai dibicarakan adalah beli koin game atau NFTThere are also things that are still being discussed, namely buying game coins and NFT games. These days there are many NFT hunters, you can look for them as well as in Mobox and others.

Well there are so many factors to consider on choosing what altcoins to invest, and investors has a different way of choosing they have different basis its all up to them, but for me the best altcoin is the altcoin that is already accessible with an amazing use case maybe that altcoin can soar in a long run depending on the team behind the projects, experienced team together with the successful developer that has a successful past project is good.

I think that the criteria is just a general criterion that includes factors for selection in investment.  For me it would be:

1. Utilities/products suitable for future needs (can choose defi, metaverse, featured ecosystem…)
2. Supply
3. real community
4. modern value
…
Finally, clarify the purpose of speculation is expected to be profitable, supply / demand can trigger the pumps - feature
Like this, buddy.  I am always biased towards long-term portfolio selection.  But short-term is also a point where I also focus on analyzing the next trend.

NFT is still in a good and true trend, it is still being hunted by many people but if you want to buy tokens like Babydoge, Goma etc., I don't think it needs to be done now if there are other more useful options to have and make yourself an investor in many just good coins.

utility should be the main factor for choosing coins for the future. but everyone has their own view for the future which cannot be blamed, seeing the team and also development for the future can also be the reason for choosing Altcoin for the future.

Cooperation partners on the project also need to be looked at even though it is an additional thing after looking at the roadmap and the main team composition, so that many people's belief in a product will be born and exist forever as in many utility coins that already exist today.

I think a few criteria is very important to success a project. First of all, solid and transparent team management. Then how much big which community definitely it should be a real community i mean it’s not like that bots/fake community. I think exchange listing is the big factor to consider how fundamentally strong is it in the market. And finally it’s roadmap.

Yeah, utility is what most investors look out for especially when you looking out for long-term investment but then if you looking out for utility also don't forget to focus your attention on the level of demand and supply this factor always gives limitations to the performance of such coin/token.

That's very true and I think it's important to pay attention because we can see if the coin or project is a scam or not, we can pay attention from cooperation partners,
basically everyone has more or less the same criteria as others in choosing altcoins

Mine is simple, and it really doesn't take long to realize that it can work very well in the long term as well. I just invest into coins that have been around for over a year, that is the first step. Secondly I check how decentralized it is, sometimes I do invest into centralized projects too but check the power of the centralized organization, such as BNB but backed by Binance and I trust them. Then I check what the roadmap is like, if they keep on promising and if they delivered so far. If they keep promising but failing then it is bad.

Basically the things that you see and know and heard about. I do not have much, I have 7 coins/tokens that I invested heavily, and 3-4 that invested small time. Works pretty well.

It's so easy for the projects to just link the fake partners or even made-up partners to ensure the investors they are investing on their projects. It doesn't do shit if there is no legal news about that partners so we can avoid some fake made-up partners whose not having legal info about those partners. It's fine to not having that at the beginning as they can develop the projects much better then grinding for partners later on.

There are many criteria, but one of the most important criteria in choosing a good altcoin is the altcoin community. Anyone looking to invest in good projects should see the token community and use YouTube and Reddit to get a comprehensive view of what people see about this potential investment. The second thing is the innovative technology of this token and the extent to which this technology is related to the blockchain also the token team and what they have accomplished and what they have of experience, visions, and future goals for the token.

What you say is true, we must be really careful in choosing coins for investment. Because now there are so many coins circulating that are only
for pump and dump, if we choose the wrong coins, of course we end up losing money. I agree we can choose coins with check the opinion of
the crypto community about the coins we will buy, if more and more people recommend these coins, that's a positive thing that can be our criteria
in choosing coins. Because the coins are good and profitable, of course, many people will recommend them, such as BTC, ETH and BNB are
the names of the coins most recommended by the crypto community. This means that many people benefit from these coins, so don't be lazy
to check the opinion of the coins we buy from various crypto communities that we can find on various social media. So that we can conclude that
the coins are worth buying or not, but of course we also have to study the coins we are going to buy and don't immediately believe people's opinions.

You seems to be a good in this hunting mate , the proposed advises are much better to be applied in finding good project to invest with.
though I am sure most of the answers here comes from Bounty Hunters that also good in looking for criteria.
but Long term portfolio for Altcoin is the last thing that I will do, because i will better choose Bitcoin than altcoins for that.

each of us has our own criteria for choosing Altcoins, but I personally still choose the top coins that have high volume to be able to remain in the future, even though the opportunity to take profits is small but it is very worth the risk which is also small.
utility is of course the main factor behind other factors.

Utility and of course the People behind the project(the Team) because aside from everything it is their work that will bring the project into success

So look at the team instead of everything mate .

to OP? just Buy the ranking coins because that will save you from completely losing .

Utility is important, but there are many other factors to consider when choosing an altcoin. hype, community, development team and their project progress. all these things should come to your attention. Hype is important because it determines how popular the project you invest in is. community, the bigger the project community, the bigger the fundamentals. development team, experienced and professional team is preferred. than those who think only about money. and finally the development progress. This is what determines whether the project is worth investing in or not. a project that has no progress just won't survive. such projects rely solely on the hype to pump their coins.

.
Team is important and the way they are able to respond to queries is paramount. I know projects that will not respond to basic queries for a while and if you see projects taking time, then it is time to move on rather than expecting them to change.

This is not a benchmark you can choose because the ranking keeps on changing, projects with a real use case should be your pick rather than speculative projects and you will understand if they are able to deliver things in time or at least have a valid reason for the delay.

High volume is very important but not as important as the team behind the project, how can one know how long a high volume coin in the market will remain on the first will of the chart if you can't point to the utility of such coin and how persistence the team are toward the development and growth of the coin.

It's getting more and more obvious these days because we get to see the real legit ones actually do stuff that requires a good amount of money and also provide like audit and kyc and all that kind of thing. So, if you want to scam someone, you can't provide those things. If you do provide them, and still end up scamming people then we know who you are and we can sue you.

This is why there are so many projects that may fail even though they are legit, but there are none that would provide KYC and who they are and still scam you, that would screw them up. This is why it got easier, I just do not invest in anything new that has not done any of that yet.

there are a lot of altcoins today and if you are going to choose you can really have a hard time because there are also so many scam projects, new projects is risky than investing on some proven and tested coin so if you wanted to invest for a long term you need to invest a coin that is already proven such us ethereum, bnb,sol,etc., Coin that has a big name with a big reputation will always give a profit if we can really hold.

If the market situation is as it is today then altcoins that are suitable for us to invest are coins that are already ranked at the top or in the top 10 coinmarketcap, because for the future all will again be able to reach the highest value and profits will definitely be on the side of us who currently have capital to invest and are ready to take any risks in the future, Most importantly, the great patience we must have.

A lot of old timers will prefer those rock solid projects rather than investing on hypes.
If the project has good foundation, you know that your investments will not disappear into thin air.
So if you want a good assurance that you won't be screwed, would be better if you hold those top alts.
Also, look for actual applications. Is their network heavily used by crypto users?
Or are the services catering a lot of users and not only few? Because that will determine the survival of the alt.

I should have criteria for reviewing projects like your analysis above, that project reviews should be monitored regularly to test quality and utility, I agree that it is appropriate to hold top coins over new coins because there is no guarantee the project platform will be developed according to the roadmap.

The top altcoins such as BNB, Ethereum and XRP indeed we have to be patient in terms of investment, these three projects are indeed very good,
and have Fundamentals which in my opinion have an S rating, which means Super good fundamentals, and of course makes investors comfortable,
but for someone who is new to investing in crypto, you certainly have to be patient and have to be careful, because the price of the top altcoin has reached its peak,
there may be indications of a dump in the future.

::) I think it's not just a matter of patience as the coins you are referring to are really well known in this space, but not everyone approaches it and believes in the future. An easy strategy will make the investment safe and give better returns. I personally think a few criteria, like how they operate in this space and how they solve problems, will help. Of course, popular names such as ETH, BNB, DOT, and so on are profitable for those who believe.

the Only criteria i Use is to follow my instincts and also follow my mentor .

I know that sometimes i lose but lucky that most of His advices brings winning for me, several times this year that i earned at least 20-30% each investments.

that is for new project but what about those existing one?

My criteria to choose coin for investing of trading is as follows:

1- One of top 20 coins listed on coinmarketcap or any new project like STEPN ( GMT ) and I take part on Binance launchpad.

2- I trust technical Indicators like RSI and MACD and take exit and entry based on signals generated on weekly charts and don't buy coins/token in one step, I rather use 3 steps buying strategy.

3- I use Money/rsk management tools to avoid total loss of capital.

DYOR

although the top altcoins are nearing their peak, the aforementioned altcoins have a better level of security than us investing in new altcoins, which have a much greater risk, especially for beginners, I think allocating most of the funds to these altcoins will be more well, while we learn to analyze new altcoins, of course with a small capital, so that over time our analytical instincts, both technical and fundamental, will form by themselves, by going through a lot of experience.

Actually, the instincts of the hearts and minds of others must always be balanced so as not to feel confused when carrying out any investment because without someone to direct, I think someone will also get lost if they only rely on instincts from ourselves.

binance launchpad already proven as profitable projects , most of from this pad succesfully give us huge profits. maybe this is the best way to pick project that will give us money only in short term.

another technique to pick tokens or coins based on their technical position, if we find any signal from RSI or MACD and confirmed by market sentiment, it should taken immediately or we lost best price before mooning.

It is understandable, I mean not really understandable but it is like something we got used to at this point. Like for so long I have seen people that got too impatient and sold and then as soon as they sell the price goes up.

They do not get "why" it goes up as soon as they sell, they wait for many years and then the moment they sell it goes up. Solution? Don't sell? I mean simple as that, if you sell then eventually you will miss it go up, just don't sell, keep holding it and eventually it will either go high, or it won't and you will either make a profit or you won't but there is no missing out possibility in that case. Why can't they see it? Don't know, but too many people do that.

I remember when I followed the Safepal launchpad on binance, I only paid 0.6 bnb but when the first open market sfp was able to go up 1000% more and I got a fantastic profit, indeed the Binance launchpad is very much anticipated by traders or big investors because it is certain that we  will benefit if the token is already listed.

If basic research, i.e. fundamental analysis (dev team, roadmap, whitepaper, tokenomics, advisors, etc.) is promising, the moment of entering the market is important to me. I noticed that it is often profitable to invest in a project that, even when it enters the market during the bear market, but you invest in it at the time of entry, i.e. at the lowest possible price, the price cannot drop any more and you just wait for the trend on the market to change . When this happens, the price of the project from the lowest price simply starts to rise. So at the time of bear market, apart from the analysis, the most important thing for me is to invest as early as possible, and preferably on the day the project enters the market.

1. Utility
2. No anonymous devs
3. Active development and continuous changes

This is 3 of the things i do really much prefer on seeing before i do make investment with some altcoins specially if its new even though its not really that precise
nor give out assurance of success but still you could really still have some chance on hitting a good project rather than on having no criteria at all.

My only factor for supporting project is the number and the type of supporter or partners. Some partners are capable of dictating the pace and achievement a project irrespective of the prevailing condition in the market. For new project with VCs, they are privileged to some information that could are reliable. VCs like 3 arrows, A16 etc

I don't know if that's a personal opinion or if many people are thinking the same thing when witnessing the entry of new people into the market. Many people are almost too dependent on information from someone to make them suffer. passive and stuck in their own understanding. It can be a common mistake in life when any field of industry that we approach always needs a certain understanding. Knowledge is too broad. Don't just look at money but run after it. I myself have not yet determined whether those things that come to me are really good or not.

I think you stated the criteria for a new project but for altcoins that are already listed on trading it is necessary to review the liquidity on the exchange, as well as interaction and support from the community because projects do not thrive without a solid community.

The launch pad project on the Binance exchange is a favorite list of new projects for investors to get high returns within 1-2 weeks of active trading, for example the GMT project is currently soaring from an initial price of $0.01 and is now $3.2, Binance has the largest member and some active in launchpad program can record sold out sales in 1 second.

For me, first of all, it is important which team the project has and what goals who is in the partners and how much money the project itself has.Promises alone are not enough today, this worked only in 2017 when each token could take off, today everything is different.

What you mentioned above is indeed very important to consider before choosing a coin,
so do some in-depth research and it will indeed take quite a bit of time but I think it's worth what we're going to get,
It's not an easy thing to choose coins, especially when there are lots of coins in the market

Sad thing is that it's becoming a race, and that is why you may need to get a bit quicker. Normally if you are trading or investing then you will have to research very carefully and get in afterwards just like you said. However, there are so many people who are making quick decisions and getting in even without checking the project, which results with many of them losing money that is sad, however, if they end up making money then everyone else is too late to the party. There are no more periods where we need to just wait and see what happens, you get in right away and either make money or do not make money and that's how it works these days. I personally believe that we should be focusing a bit more on the slowing down of everyone else than researching faster but if we can't, then maybe we should find a way to make quicker research and figure out if it's good or not.

For those who already know a lot of coins, it will definitely be very easy to choose now because between coins that have potential and those that are not, he certainly knows because not all coins are good to choose at this time.
So while doing research, everyone also needs to get to know the coins that are in the best row in the market.

I do not care about the anonymous devs if they are not really involved too much, just released it and let the public takeover, but if they are constantly involved and the team doing something in the future that they wrote on the roadmap, then of course I will care about it. Maybe they are capable of doing it, or maybe they are not capable of it and their CV would say so.

Plus, the utility part means that there will be a reason to buy it, but just "any" utility wouldn't fly with me, there needs to be some sort of good reason for people to use it, otherwise it would not make any sense to me at all and I rather know what I am getting into and how I could use it if I do not want to just invest.

It still hard to pick actually even if you say that you already have some experience because there are so many altcoins that are good enough or has a potential. You can only wish to have a bigger capital so that you can invest on most of them. That way you can increase your chances of earning huge.

There's no such thing as race. Its, only in your head. Why hurry when there is always a replacement if you miss one new project? If you hurry and still try to get in late, chances are you will only lose but there must be a platform to know if there will be a newly released coin, I think there was a thread that has been created last time about that. You can try to look for that if you are one of the investors of newer coins. If you are not fast enough, you can always go for older coins. There is no pressure investing on them.

For beginners, of course, choosing a top altcoin doesn't really require much thought, because we can buy it anytime without worry, and later it will also rise by itself. it is different from the new altcoins and has low volume, so it is difficult to predict it, although from the prta the road looks good. For me, the most valid one is if the altcoin is going to be listed on a big exchange like Binance, then that is our chance to buy before being listed. Of course after listing the price will go up high and we can sell it immediately, before the price drops again

Depending on each person's understanding, we will see the potential as well as the risks of coins in this market. Personally, I have always preferred the best altcoin I know, ETH, but in addition to the trends that accompany each bull market, we will also look at a number of criteria, such as the ability of projects, that is, their problem-solving activity in this market, as well as their transparency in the development process.

ethereum is a good altcoins but i don't see them transparent in development, even the rumored eth 2.0 will launch, not even launch as of today. In my opinion, the criteria as a good altcoin are having a large community, high security and adoption.

In terms of community, security, and high adoption, I think Ethereum has had it for a long time even though at this point it seems to have faded, even though it is still running so it's not worth saying that Ethereum is not transparent in terms of development, because whatever new things are always requires a more in-depth study.

Ehtereum seems to have a quiet and persistent community and the team are constantly working on improving the ethereum blockchain to accommodate new development and demand one of that move is the new proof of stake algorithm rather than the old way of proof of work which appears to be more rigid and consumes more power to a harsh transaction.

When you want to choose altcoins, let's focus on old altcoins only. They are safer for your investment, less risk but they won't give you 50x, 100x increase. However, the success of investment includes: don't lose your capital, and get profit. Having both of them is good enough for your investment.

If you are obsessed with 50x, 100x growth for your portfolio, you will fall into gambling with new and risk projects. You can earn big but will lose big later. When you nurture a gambling habit, you will not be able to get rid of it easily. It's better to prevent its growth in beginning.

You both denied it as well as acknowledged it :)
Speaking of ETH does not need too much analysis because it is not nearly what we normally judge like other altcoins, I think other than bitcoin in this space, ETH still has a good position determined and is invincible in many ways.

actually there's a lof of altcoins with large community in the space but sad to say despite, most of them are still not worth it because they always end up very stagnant after all. So if we were talking about long term then for me its no other than ethereum as its very reliable ,trusted and very secured when it comes investment.

In my opinion, the most suitable is Bianace, apart from having a large community, it is also a coin that is widely used for transactions and has a good future.

Being a veteran and being aware of many many coins comes with some advantages and disadvantages at the same time. We are talking about "knowing" a lot of coins but we also need to remember that there are brand new things going on in many coins and if you just research it once and then stop caring about it then you are going to end up being upset about it because there will be new things. So that means we need to actually keep up with those coins and need to learn what's going on with them.

This requires people to actually follow up on what they researched on all those coins. But the biggest advantage is that you could avoid some coins and remove them from your list and all you have to do is follow up on the ones you think could be good. This elimination process is our best weapon as veterans.

not all altcoin have bad future for long term ,some of them really need time to developt product meanwhile their investors and community haven't patience to wait it come. alot new project have good future but it dumped by their own investors meanwhile dev team serious build it. maybe ethereum investors didnt patience and sold it early we will not see current price. 

frankly, utility kinda suffice if the utility is already really great that it could give strong use case for the altcoins but honestly some of things that also matters heavily are things like marketing and also fundamental, added with some kind of partnership with the
more famous projects like being endorsed by big exchangers like binance, it could certainly guarantees success for this project in the long run.
partnership could gives additional privileges for the project, strong fundamental is the thing that keeps project from succumbing its trading volume and market capitalization and the marketing is the thing that grows the community behind the project, if all these
things are going good in harmony for the project, surely it gonna give additional reassurance that the project gonna be such a huge success in the future.

Not like there aren't other coins provides what ETH provides, obviously there are other projects that has achieved what ETH has done so far. However, the difference is that even though ETH had the highest recorded gas fee at some point, they still didn't get less projects on their platform. That's the difference, if you have super high gas fee and projects still prefer your network over something that has nearly zero, then you are doing something right. Maybe other projects will go up, maybe they will go higher and quicker, but they will never displace ETH from the second place.

Only one who can make it go under second rank is ETH itself again, only if something bad happens there then I can see it going down.

Community doesn't change the price of it, money does. Which means that if you have 100 super rich people interested in a project, versus 1 million super poor people, there will be differences because rich could take it high or at least keep it there with their money while poor can't do anything. Why do you think Axie got lower? There were plenty of people following it, but the reality is that all of those people just wanted to play and earn money and then sell their earned money that's it.

There weren't plenty of rich that would buy that, and grow their numbers. Sure if you were a wealthy person you could have bought plenty of axies and let your workers earn you money, but those same workers caused the price to go down when they sold as well.

They do not have to be, newbies all think that project's all have leads but that is not the case. There is a foundation that "offers" ideas for ethereum to move to, and they are not making those changes themselves. So if they do 2.0 and we all decline? They can't make that into a reality.

This isn't some newbie token that the creators have full ownership over and can change whatever they want to, it is something that mainly foundation builds on top of and then asks people to either accept it or not. If you are not aware of what they are doing right now, that is not important because when they offer it, we have a chance to decline it and move on without whatever they suggest.

you should not care actually because this is Mine , just look for yours lol.

I am gaining in my strategy as I have best instinct  ;D ;D , if you cannot carry that then this is your problem not mine .

I can balance mine , while you can't?

Most newbies only saw the period where they invest into a project with the hopes that the team behind it would do something to make it go up. In fact, this reach to a level so much so that they actually pressure the teams to do something that will make it go up, basically telling them to make them profit.

So they invest, talk with the creators to see how they will do something, and hope that the thing that will be done could increase the price and then sell. This has been the era for the past 2 years, all newbies do that. People can't understand that even the 2.0 idea behind ETH is not a guaranteed thing, because there are no owners or creators.

with different methode from each investors, we will find best result that take from several insight. analisys become more objective and maybe each other will find advantages and its disadvantages. with collaboration between two or more people will find new projects that have great utility and product they want build. and finally group chat will take important rules in this discussion.

i am see to utility and ecosystem that will build by this project. with both of them demand will easily created and ofcourse price will follow its demand. more utility build in ecosystem ,more demand to this token .for example as transaction gas , its be obligation to validate transaction. absolutely it will use this token , another reason was ecosystem. with large ecosystem build although with different category or path, undirectly it will create demand too.

Utility is all we need to look at because you could presumpt about its potential that it might be that significant on upcoming future even though its not really that an assurance but at least you do make your research

before doing further step and its a must thing if you do make out investment here on crypto space.Take your time on making some in depth search and look for utility or usage on a particular project.

Dont make yourself get tagged or hooked with hype and shills on which this would really result into further mess.

You guys are right, One of the most important aspects of any project is its ecosystem because that is the engine room of the project, once a team builds a favorable utility base for the project the token or coin will thrive on that platform to build a large and active community that is the root of every project.

If the market situation is as it is today then we have to choose potential altcoins for us to invest in the long term, because it is all in order to reduce the risk so that later we do not lose our assets for a long time, then from the top 10 cmc rankings I think we can choose because the coin does have a high potential will remain for a long time until the market stabilizes again.

I think so too, but in reality not all projects can be able to do such a thing now if there is no better external support.
So it is still necessary to work on relations and partners so that the project party can be more helpful when their platform and token utility has begun to gradually improve.

Why what is the situation today. Is the market dumping? But dump or not, choosing a potential altcoin is always be a must. Dumping is only good for buying but you can still try buying at pumps and maybe you can score an immediate profit but that is likely as long as what you are investing with is an altcoin that has a potential.

Be careful and always scan the coins first on the top 10 ranks because sometimes there is a meme coin that can enter. It so sad that top 10 is not a safe place anymore. People should now change their criteria when choosing a coin. Maybe they can an make adjustments and this time they will only pick coins that are from top 3 or top 5.

Lots of coins are being added to the crypto market every day. But all of them can not survive. Many projects have been died again after surviving in the market for a while. So we need to focus on those altcoins that have direct use case.

Actually, there is no need to care about all the new projects that are just added to the market every day, because those with use cases have clearly been seen long ago where they are all in a good position as cryptocurrencies that already have useful goals and concepts with use real cases.

This is a wise choice, because it is undeniable that when we choose a new coin, the risk is doubled when the market situation is like this. Many choices of coins that can be used as a handle at times like this, we just need a little time to hold it until the market really returns to normal. Maybe the problem is that we are a bit confused on which coin our choice will be anchored, which of course has the potential to stabilize more quickly.

Well, as far as I know, altcoins cannot have utility and be speculative at the same time, so here you need to choose what is more important for whom. If we talk about long-term investments in altcoins, then I believe that utility should be one of the main factors when choosing, because if an altcoin brings utility, then it will be used more, which means its price will go up. Of course, this will not be a quick process, but for that you will have a better chance of making a profit. As for altcoins for speculation, here it is like in roulette, you are lucky or not.

Top 10 was never really that much of a big trust thing before today neither. We had xrp which is a centralized coin project made by a company, we had BCH back in the day when it was in the top ten and it was a miners bitcoin basically, we had BSV which is Craig Wright's bitcoin, and we had many other that were in top 10 and then got out. Hell if you go back enough we had namecoin which was the second ever coin using blockchain tech and then it is nowhere to be found nowadays, probably done and gone.

I wouldn't really rely my investments based on the top 10, that rarely ever works for anyone and usually ends up being a terrible indicator for the future of those coins.

actually we can choose old altcoins that are already good, and of course in the future the funds invested will feel safe. different from new altcoins whose potential has not been identified. sometimes we analyze that altcoins are good, but turn out to be wrong, because many are scams, especially in bearish conditions. I think the best thing to do a new altcoin analysis lies in its fundamental analysis, so that we can get to the root of the project

of course utility is an important factor when choosing a good Altcoin and also I personally prefer Altcoins that have prospects with promising future development, I think that way it will be very good for the future.

there are many criteria for choosing an altcoin, but here I will share my experience to be able to choose the best altcoin,
first you can search for projects on Coinmarketcap, secondly analyze altcoins that are ranked below 300,
because there are lots of potential good projects, and when it comes to it's finished, then buy a token in a partial way,
I'm sure you can be successful that way.

Thanks for sharing this but above all we should know that the cryptocurrency investment we should note that risk is the most available resource and carrying out good research about the project to build good knowledge and also find the possible way to reduce the risk of losing your fund due to investing in a bad project without future value or projects that are not utility proven.

Top 10 is at least a bit decent considering majority of the coins would be decent until they get out of top 10. In this case what you should do is if you see something get out of top 10 then you sell it and just keep whatever is the new one. Keep doing that and you will always have top 10 coins at all times, and the ones that drop will be the ones you lose money and the ones that go up will be the ones you make profit.

Based on how much top 10 increases most of the time, there will be 3-4 ones that you will profit and the rest will be either break even or just something that would be losing only a small amount of money for you.

Oh I See , i thought that it is about just trusting , but DAO is really a good project till now? because it seems to be DAO is losing faith now and seeing some bad things for their investors .

I will stand to that Instinct will help us save our funds nowadays.

so Let us check what we wanted to invest and never leave  your funds in not so safer coins.

I choose the project first!
I do the research and figure out If the project deserves my time and investing money!
LostWorlds for example, this NFT Platform is a must have now
LOST gives me some great vibes, let's see what they will come up with in the future

I think the criteria for a very good altcoin to invest in is that it must be listed on several major exchanges, altcoins have large fundamentals and trading volume, have high utility, and altcoins have a solid community, if these factors can be seen in, then it can be make sure the altcoin has great potential and is very appropriate to invest, of course it will not be easy for you to find if you don't do in-depth research.

I invest only in a long term projects

Choosing altcoin is not that hard of a task, since the coming of the alternative cryptocurrencies with the introduction of the ethereum blockchain, it has given birth to several projects and one of the easiest ways to pick some of the viable coins is in its long term goals as other comments suggested, look for a coin that has utility base because those are the coins that will exist in the market for long. But in doing that you need to put the risk factor into consideration, because one can not 100% predict the future of any coin, not even Bitcoin.

Great article

trading volume and listed in several major exchanges didn't guarantee it will be good project. only utility in ecosystem will create demand that will attract trading volume in market.  when projects having  great utiility , investors will trust to invest their money, so it wouldnot be pump and dump project.

He is asking for criteria and not a direct project and if you are only here to spread this one I think you are in the wrong thread though it is a different thread for sharing.
don't quote a post without anything on it because this will be a spamming and may affect your signature campaigning .

Maybe what you say is true too but it all depends on each person for me,
because if we see it in newbie traders or investors maybe they will find it difficult to choose altcoins,
This is where having knowledge is very important and of course it is obtained with a lot of experience and learning

You should know that not all atlcoins listed on major exchanges are worth investing in, anyone has seen the damage to the luna coin because it was once on the top altcoin list and had high liquidity on various exchanges, but the luna price breakdown was the worst in crypto history this year, so we should consider investing in altcoins and should review them every latest news update.

When the market is frothy then everything and anything can pump. That said, you don't want to get stuck with meme coins when the music stops. A better solution is investing in ISO20022 projects or the internet computer. You know, projects that are becoming the new industry standards and that will be adopted by enterprise, banking and governments.

I agree that we should be picking coins that are solid, but people not knowing Luna may crash is their own problem. Last year in 2021 there were a billion algorithm stablecoins that crashed because if you keep on selling it, and making money from it, the market can't recover it and all that money stored aside will not be enough, eventually there will be someone richer than the money stored who will keep on selling more and more.

Last year I was part of a project that had 30+ million dollars like that, and someone with more than 30+ million dollars came in and destroyed it and made money along the way and it never recovered. When you do that to UST, then Luna goes with it obviously.

Trading volume too needs to be taken into consideration, because it is possible to see coins with much higher ROI, but when you go for the volume it'll be in few thousands. Getting listed on major exchanges adds more value to the project. Best part is the trusted assets that have got a minimum viable product. This is most important when choosing a coin, so that market won't experience a decline that easily.

One of the solid indications that you are dealing with the right project is the strength or support of the community via checking those volumes.Its really easy to have a high value for a particular coin
but its hard to maintain up its support for long term runs because the community isnt really blind on supporting on something which is totally shit thats why its important on considering on
checking this information whenever you do intent on investing or dealing with an altcoin.Some are overrated and some are undervalued and that decision of yours would typically be depending
with your own research and knowledge on dealing up with things.
