Ways to Research a Token/Coin

[lalabotax]

What criteria do you look for when you research a token/crypto? And what tools do you use to do your investigation? Please provide as much details, examples, walk throughs, tutorial links as possible.

Like if you want to know what percentage of a token is being held for a few VC's, developers, initial investors, etc.? Or how do you monitor inflows and outflows over a period of time?

In fact, I'm not hunting for new coins, so when looking for coins that I want to invest in, I will focus more on the top altcoins that are based on data such as Coin market cap or coin gecko. Yes, of course based on things like: supply and demand tokens, circulating supply, trading volume, market up and down, ATH, recent price, exchange listing coins, and several other things. Including how the project carries out the development of their project so that the coin can truly survive and actually stand out very well in the market. So there is no need to doubt whether anyone wants to enter this coin in any era.

But, when it relates to  new token or coin, I  will not really think too much. because whatever the research, commonly it will be still high risk to enter into the new token, not yet listed in any exchange. And this is not kind of for me, low-risk taker.

There are numerous things to look out for when carrying out research. Some key areas are as follows:

Check the team members and confirm if they are real people, then check their reputation, integrity and history of involvement in similar projects. Were they successful in previous projects? Check if the coin is listed or not? If the coin or token is yet to be listed, then you have to dig deeper especially on the project goal and team members.

In my opinion, coins or tokens listed on reputable exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, etc. gain more trust since the exchanges themselves are likely to have performed some research/background check before accepting the coin or token for listing. Be careful with coins that are yet to be listed on CEX, you will need to dig deeper to find out more details especially as regards the team members. Be on the alert for Coins that have no plans to  list on Centralized exchanges, they may have liquidity issues, and other problems you are yet to know. Check that you are interacting with the correct contract address of the token. Remember to invest only the amount you can afford to loose.

I basically do very little research on new tokens or coins. It is true that a lot of research should be done on a token or coin before investing if the coin is new. At first I used to follow youtube for new coin or token research. One thing I noticed in all the crypto related videos especially about new token or coin research is that all the crypto videos have spam comments. However, in most cases the new token or coin projects will be dusty in the future, but it is possible to be successful in the future by choosing a new project with the most accurate research. I always keep my investments in the top coins so that I have less fear of losing money in the future.

There should be different degrees for your research, at first you should only do a superficial investigation of the coins in which you are interested, this way you can discard most coins relatively quickly and only leave behind the few coins which pass that test, once you have done this then you can engage in a more comprehensive research which takes into account many more factors, and if a few coins are still left after this then you can consider to invest in them.

YouTube is the worst place to do your research if you are willing to invest in a project. After all, most videos that you will find about it will be paid ones even if they are from content creators who have a lot of subscribers because projects contact them and pay them money to make videos about their project for promotional purposes, and if you see someone on YouTube praising a certain cryptocurrency before it's launch, know that he has been paid to do that.

Your research should be done from the material available about the project or the cryptocurrency. The website should contain everything you need for your research including the whitepaper, information about the team, the vision of the project, social handles, and everything else.

While making a research on a new Coin to buy, first check on coinmarketcap or coin gecko to see the previous history price increase or decrease and next is 24hrs trading volume and check Smart contract total supply and exchange listed that is very important and finally check on the telegram group or Twitter handle if the team and community are still effective and finally is to take notes of my entry point of buying, because entry point determine the profit return investment after a certain period of time of holding. These my strategy of investing in most new coin on my research.

If you want to double your profits then enter early with funds that are already prepared to be lost. This is an opportunity to get a cheaper price before the MC is bigger.  now there are many new memecoins with low MC and when it comes in well then if it is profitable it is better to come out. Making money the easy way but also at risk of losing it all. This is their choice and is not recommended for those who are not prepared to lose.

There are lot of criteria for that and everyone might use different criteria to make investigation and rating. As I have been thought from different sources, one can use the following measures to find a god project.

• Community support

Which of the forum is supporting the project. If the project is supported by a reputable community then the project is good to invest.

• Popularity

How many people are using the coin. If the population is not much don't invest in it.

• And the Rating of the coin

is the project listed in any centralized and decentralized exchanges? If not you have to wait until the project is listed any of the exchanges so that you can trade with it. And if you didn't find any of the above and you investing in the project then you are risking your funds in that project because it might.turn to Ponzi Scheme for you. Be careful with your investment.

And then people wonder how is it possible they got scammed, anyone that is looking for information that could help them improve their financial future on youtube is asking for trouble, as the majority of the content you can find there is created with the intention of trying to make you invest in a particular coin, so most of the stuff you will read there is favorable towards most coins, and if the information there was to be believed then we will have hundreds of projects which are just as good as bitcoin released every year, and since we know this is not true, we can disregard everything that we read there as completely useless information.

.

The way I do my research is to follow some big handles on twitter that's talking about the project that I have interest in. I observe the things that they're using to try to promote the project then I research more on those things with the trending hashtags of the project. It might be their token name or project name to see what others are taking about the project on X. After I get a satisfying answer that the investors are genuine investors and not shillers then I look at their token distribution.

Before investing into a project, always look at the way the tokens are distribution so you don't invest into a project that the teams is holding most of the tokens and they can dump them on the market when they feel like and exit the market without having any punishment for their scamming actions. If a majority of the tokens aren't circulating, I'll avoid investing in that particular project and look for a better token.

Why do these topics of threads keep on giving the wrong idea, lol? It really did sound like you were going to give us research tips.

I think it's important the OP gives his/her opinion before asking the forum. That way we get your POV, cause this information is literally on the internet and on the forum. So, let it be that you know a little bit before waiting for people's comments. Anyways, I think one of the best research tips would be checking out listed coins on exchanges and comparing prices, that way you know which is more valuable. Checking out the fluctuation rates and how they increase and decrease is also very important.

I don't use any tools to find out about altcoins because I don't find out about any crypto, and actually this forum can be used well to find potential crypto, because even though there are many scammers on this forum, there are more trusted forum members who will provide His assessment is regarding the coin that we want to know about and the member's assessment is quite good without taking any profit at all, for example because he hopes that the coin will get a pump because he assesses the coin as good.
You can use social media but actually there are no 100% correct criteria for assessing a coin because today the coin can be good but not in the long term because it will depend on the developer.

There are different methods of making thorough research regarding these projects. Spotting out a potential coin will not take that lengthy stress, simply follow a crypto community that posts links and good projects to invest, that's simple. We should be careful when dealing with the system, there more basic necessities we're not aware of and it's our ultimate objective to pick acquaintance with the inflow and outflow of these crypto projects. There are scammers in the system but we should be extremely careful when dealing with the market.
