What are your thoughts when considering ~
1. Project
2. Team
3. Innovation
4. Market cap
i honestly don't consider any of these things when deciding which altcoin to buy! i only check out a couple of things. first would be the charts which i will use to see the price in first place to see how it is changing, how it was yesterday and in longer term. then i check the volume to see how money flow is changing and look for signs of a pump.
then when i find my candidate i sometimes check the news and the forum to see if there is some sort of hype going on to make my speculation about the pump more confident and then i invest to enjoy that pump.
then i repeat all these steps in reverse mode to make the best decision for the price that i have to sell at and decide when i should sell. it usually is about 30 to 50% profit and doesn't last more than a day.
