Are there any exact qualities you will be looking for during your search, ? like anything technical? or special? something standout

Cryptocurrency Received all sorts of negative views and reaction when it came to the picture years a go with a number of people branding it Ponzi scheme, scam and all sorts of names that spelled negativity to the widely unknown technology. Years down the line after BTC reached an all time high of $20k, people are beginning to realize that crypto is not just a passing FUD but rather a revolutionary  technology that is here to stay. The crypto business i not however one to blindly venture into .There are a number of considerations one as to make before committing money.

so what exactly do you need to know before joining the cryptocurrency wagon?In this article i put together some of the basic information that i consider essential to any potential crypto investor. a number of people get into cryptocurrency with high expectations but fail to ask themselves the reason as to why they are investing There are a number of reasons  as to why people invest but you have to put the following into consideration:

1: If your intentions are short-term with an interest of only earning short term gains then its sensible to buy low and sell high Its however not as easy
   as it sounds  as you will have to engage your timing skills properly. The perfect time to buy low is during the bearish run. During this time, the
   market struggles and most coins lose significant amount of value, making them cheaply available. Take advantage of these times and invest in
   quality coins that will regain value during the Bull run enabling you to sell high hence making profits off them

2: If you are a legitimate crypto believer then i'm glad to tell you that you are in the right side of history. You are probably interested in long term
    investment as you are betting on the future success of this amazing technology. You will also need a keen eye for good coins, sport them at
   an early stage, invest but unlike those with short term intentions, You hold. That's exactly what the early BTC and ETH adopters did and now they
   are enjoying the fruits of their effort. This however doesn't mean that holding is the ultimate get rich strategy.

3: Don't Gamble away your money in just any project and hope that it will do well.  A number of successful crypto investors will tell you that there
    might have been a bit of luck in their success But at least they did their research well before investing in the coins. There are a number of
    investment opportunities in the cryptocurrency market, but not all of them will be a success and neither will they make you rich.  Be very choosy
    with where you put your money and make sure you do an exhaustive research on the project you are about to invest in

4: Cryptocurrency is not Stock. Don't ever assume that these two are related, and that you can use the stock trading knowledge to trade in crypto,
    these two have nothing in common and if they do, its very little. Tools such as the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and ADX ( Average Directional
    Index) Might be of help for trading purposes but its better to treat crypto independently as its market characteristics are different from the stock
    market

5: Develop a well structured investment plan and stick to it. a properly laid out investment plan will act like a guide to your investment actions, set
    your investment objectives here, state how much you are willing to risk. follow this structure to the later and crypto investment might just work
    out for you, Remember only to invest what  you can afford to lose. Taking Risks  has made quite a number of rich, but if you decide to take risks,
    then at least take well calculated and informed risks..

6: There is no security guaranty in cryptocurrency  The  crypto platform doesn't guarantee the safety of your your investment there high insecurity in
    the platform  so much so that even your private wallet is not safe from the hackers. Its therefore your personal responsibility to ensure that your
    investment is safe. For this, i highly recommend hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S and Trezor. web based wallets are just too vulnerable.

7: SCAM IS REAL.  Hackers are not the only threat to the crypto platform, Scammers also thrive here and if you are not careful they will scam you out
    of your investments and there is nothing you can do about. Be careful on whom you trust, or better still, trust no one.

Cryptocurrency is beautiful platform with lots of promise and good opportunities that if tapped well can create wealth, the technology is quite promising. Its just a matter of time before its fully adopted Lots of caution is however needed before committing money in the crypto platform.

what are some of the things you consider before investing? share your thoughts and help the crypto platform grow.

The mass negativity and sharp criticism Targeted towards cryptocurency in the recent past. The main concerns Being Insecurity, which has seen a number of crypto exchange platforms and personal accounts Hacked and Millions of Dollars in crypto lost. These concerns has led to decline in the crypto value and the whales taking the advantage situation to manipulate the market even more.

All is however not lost, and we have to be vigilant with the current developments and happenings in the market. The Big players are silently pulling strings in the game in readiness to go big when everyone seems to have lost hope. Consider the quote by Christian Ferri CEO of BlockStar,. “As in every technology, hacking will be painful for some in the short term; but it will be a major driver in strengthening the crypto ecosystem, making it more secure, which is key for mass adoption.” This is a clear indication that there is still hope for the forum, People have sold off before only for the market to recover and boom once again,  more interesting read here:

Furthers more, one of the CEO of the influential and reputable NASDAQ, hinted that the company is open to being a crypto exchange. such a mega company doesn't put its reputation in line for a dying course.

Such claims do not just feature accidentally, People. Manipulation is a serious factor in this market, and  I Think that one of the greatest bull runs is in preparation. if we let the whales manipulate us into selling our valuable assets then we shall always be on the losing end.

So think and be wise before putting up that coin up for sale, for better days are coming.  CRYPTO IS HERE TO STAY.

I'm also New here, but definitely not new to the cryptocurrency arena. The shit post you talk about, we all see them and sometimes wonder  if google ceased to work, or what it might cost to do a simple research, On that, i agree with you fully. My concern however is it appears like you are having a problem with newbies asking questions, i mean, this forum is reach of experience and knowledge,  you can literally find anything crypto related by browsing through the relevant sections, the explanation about Crypto related phenomena is so deep and detailed here that no search engine can match. What then is the problem of seeking this information through questions?

Some of those posts you call shit post might just be as legit as the poster could get. I'm currently researching for a crypto aligned blog and this forum has contributed half the information. I therefore see no wrong doing in asking,  The thing is that sometimes the answer to the question asked is already availed making the question a mare repetition.

You made a decision that you feel suite you most, but i think losing faith In ETH this early is a catastrophe, this is the second most valuable coin we are talking about here with a market cap second only to BTC and boasts of one of the best technologies in the crypto platform. ADA Is not abad coin as such but selling all ETH for it, ay not be such a great idea
